RECEPTION AT oAKvILLE
Father Traynor's Pafishionsrs Gath.
 cred About Him Last Evening.

The Rev Father Traynor, pastor of the Waterville and Oakyille churches, was a happy man last evening. Tues day evening upon his return from the old country with his brother, Father James Traynor, his Waterville parish toners presented him with handsome purse, and last evening his Oakvllle flock gathered around him in recep- tion that showed the good feeling eX- isting between them.
 In the basement of the pretty little church the reception was held, and from 5:30 to supper was served. The number was far in excess of the eX- pectations of those in charge. but there was more than plenty for all. About 400 must have been served. The master of ceremonies was Attor- ney NJ. J. Byrne, who in short speech told the meaning of the recep tion and the oceasion of Father Tray nor's visit to the old country, to be present at the ordination of his brother James. Mir Byrne thanked al. who assisted in any way toward the success of the occasion. MT Byrne son William. who is about eight years of age and has quite reputation as an extempore speaker for lad Of his years. said few words, after which he received Father Traynor's bless ing. and then Father Traynor ad- dressed the gathering. Speaking on Irish affairs. he said that in the two years since he was last in Ireland the industrial situation there has greatly improved Father James Traynor gave his impressions of this country. From what he had heard and read or it. he had formed certain impressions. but they were far short of the reality.
 The musical part of the reception then began. The Sacred Heart drum corps played few tunes, and dancing was enjoyed after the floor was cleared of the tables and chairs The affair was a fine success, the biggest ever held in Oakville.

Putnam Genius Makes Change in
 His Monument.

Putnam, Aug 1l,-Phineas Gardner Wright, a well known character in eastern Connecticut. has been having bad dreams of late over his widely ad- vertised monument in the Grove street cemetery.
 Card" as he is called by boys and girls. has been dreaming about the whiskers OH the bust on his mopu- ment. The spirits told him they were too long for good looking man and Card got the sage opinion into his head. too. So h kas had the bust. which was cut from a photograph. shipped back to Worcester, Mass, and the whiskers will be shortened.
 Gard" is rated 5000 man. so the cost of S3cO for shortening the whiskers will not bother him any. The inscription engraved just below She stone whiskers. Going. but don't know where" does not bother him. either. as he says he has friends in both places.

DRAWING BENEFITS.
Changes in Waterbury Mutual De.
 neyolent Society Rules.

Hereafter members of the Water bury Mutual Benevolent society Will not draw benefits from the treasury until they have been fourteen days ill and then they shall be entitled to but one weeks benefit, 8. After that period benefits continue. if so desired, until the members are off 'the sick list. This action was adopted on account of the increasing membership and the small rate of monthly dues. thirty five cents. About twenty-five years ago there was a great Outcry against secret societies of all kinds and the Mutual Benevolent was organized mostly by those who did not care to oppose the general feeling then pre- vailing. The society has done consld' erable good in this city and its .n- creasing membership testifies to Its popularity.

SUES CAR CONDUCTOR
Attorney Alleges That Trollsyman Grossly Insultsd and Abussd Him.

Alleging that he was grossly insult ed and abused, Attorney Jeremiah D. Toomey. jr, of Milford, has brought suit in the New Haven common pleas court against Ralph Lee, a conductor on the Milford line of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go, for $500. on body writ, but was later re- leased, as Attorney Hincks, of counsel for the railway company, went surety for the defendant in the sum of $2.- 800. In the complaint MT Toomey al- leges that on Tuesday, while he was a passenger on Milford car, of which the defendant was in charge. he was forced to suffer indignities at the hands of the defendant which hurt him, his reputation and injured his standing as an attorney among the passengers on the car who heard the statements alleged to have been made by the conductor MT Toomey con- plains and says that as he IeIt Bridge port he gave the conductor D cent piece, receiving the proper amount of change He noticed. it is claimed, that one of the ten cent pieces given to him by the conductor was mutilat- ed When Lee came around for the second fare MT Toomey offered him the mutilated ten cent piece. The con- ductor refused to accept it. despite the fact that the plaintiff told Lee that hc had given it to him in change.
 The defendant in refusing to accept the coin. is alleged, to have said: - won't take that coin. It is bad. It is mutilated You will have to pay your fare or get off meaning thereby, says the complaint. that the plaintiff was unlawfully attempting to pass spurious coin and to evade the pay ment of the lawful fare. The defend- ant further said. as alleged: Do you refuse to pay your fare? You will have to pay or get off. I don't care who gave you that coin. I won't take it." etc Mir Toomey claims that the words and innuendo therein were false and malicious and that he in con sequence has suffered in reputation as an attorney in whom people can place confidence.

Woman Sat Over Valve to Keep Sup
 ply from Being Cut Off.
 Mount Vernon, Aug 11.-Corporation Counsel Roger M Sherman of Mount Vernon has paid his water bill. He came to time after receiving a visit from the employees of the company, who carried large monkey wrench and threatened to cut off MT Sherman's supply at once if the bill was not paid.
 Assistant Superintendent Perry went to his door in the afternoon ana asked if he didn't want to draw little water, as he was there to cut off his supply if he didn't pay the bill. MT Sherman was very indignant. Perry was resolute and refused to wait. He beckoned to the man with the wrench and Mir sherman, seeing that he meant business, went down in his pocket and paid the bill. which was for the last quarters water rent
 Although Mir sherman has been forced to capitulate. Mayor Brush has not given up his fight against the water trust to compel it to reduce the present rate. which he alleges is illegal and exorbitant Last night the mayor caused suInmonses to be issued for the collectors of the water company. com polling them to appear before him next Monday on charge of violating d city ordinance which Mayor Brush got through the common council a few weeks ago prohibiting the water com pany from cutting off the water sup ply of delinquent consumers who re- fuse to pay while the contract of the Interurban Water Co is being tested in the courts Mayor Brush will sit as committing magistrate.
 There are still 2oO people in Mount Vernon who haven't yielded to the company's demands, and employees are busy cutting off their supply. Every hour employees of the company have tilts with taxpayers who refuse either to pay or allow their supply to be stopped. Mrs Wilhelmina Noss, who owns the property at 6 Southwest street. where she lives. was visited by representative of the company yes terday who threatened to turn of her water supply. Mrs Noss warned the company's agents to keep away from her premises, saying that she would not pay her bill until Mayor Brush's suit was settled in the courts.
 The agents ignored Mrs Noss and at- tempted to get at the water valves. which are located beneath the side walk Mrs Noss brought out rocking chair from her house and placing it over the water valve sat on it and de- fled the men to remove her. The em- ployes. realizing that she had the best of the situation. withdrew. Mrs voss. fearing that they would return and stop her supply unawares. sat over the valve all afternoon. She declares she will sit on the valve every day if necessary until the suit is decided.

A REMEDY.
Thirty Thousand Dollars for Liq-
uor License Prohibits in
Southern Town.

New York Evening Post; The little
town of Waycross, Ga. objects to the
spirit in which the country has received
a fugitive paragraph announcing the
fact that the liquor license for the year
had there been fixed a $50, 900. There
is no joke about it, the local officials
say, nor is it freak Legislation For
sixteen successive years the council has
fixed that enormous sum as the price
for the privilege of puryeying liquor to
Waycross s 5000 inhabitants. No one
has ever appeared to avail himself of
the law, but it is there for anyone who
sees the chance for profit in it. To
provide for the wants of the same num-
Der of men, women and children in
Greater New York there are twenty
five saloons, hotels or clubs holding Ii
auor tax certificates -Four policemen
keep Waycross in order. e3 per cent. of
the children attend school, and nine out
of ten of the white population own
their own homes There is no poor
house. Even as business proposition
the prohibitive license has worked well,
since two railroad shops and car fac
tory have been located at Waycross be-
cause the employers found their men
more trustworthy there than in the
neighboriDg towns The description
reads in all details like that of the ideal
community in prohibition tract If
it is faithful record of actual condi-
tions, we fancy it is to be explained
partly ON psychological grounds. A
prohibitory law is fair game for any
body People chafe under the restric-
tion of living in "dry" town, drink
ing acquires in the eyes of the young
men the fascination of the fobidden,
there is a secret delight at seeing the
sumptuary law evaded. But Waycross
is not dry" town. Its odinances
sanction the liquor traffic. The joys OF
forbidden fruit is all very well, but if
the fruit dealers are not enterprising
enough to open their stalls there is no
reason for the public to be interested
one way or the other.
