BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

1.-The basket ball enthusiasts are beginning to make preparations for the season which will open shortly. Miss Hattie Nyles, nurse in Christ hospital, New Jersey, is on a two weeks vacation to her home on Washington avenue.
 A farmer with Toad of peaches" was taking up all Bank street yester- day afternoon with his horse and wagon and the officer on duty thought that the best thing to do was to give the fellow ride in the pie wagon," which he did.
 -One of the members of No 8 wan out on Charles street this morning on frisky horse. The fire laddie was new at the business and after getting few tumbles decided to allow the animal to rest for the remainder of the day in the stall.
 -Workmen are engaged upon the inside of the No 3 hose house repairing the ceiling, which has sunk considera- ply since the structure was erected The building has settled and the doorC and other swinging apparatus are very hard to open and 1t was decided to raise the ceiling about one-ha1f foot so as to put everything in the proper shape.
 Brooklyn is busy section at the present time because of the work which is being carried on by the Con solidated road. Simon street is now a thing of the past and only couple of houses remain to be moved. The fence which ran along the tracks at this point has been torn down and the rails are being placed in the middle of the street No trains will go into the Naugatuck station when this is con- pleted, but will travel along the tenn porary track which will carry them onto the Highland division. The abut- ment which Is being built from Wash ington avenue through the lots to the Highland tracks is being laid rapidly. A large machine is in use which makes concrete while you wait. Stones, sand and water are thrown into one end and after they receive good churn- ing come out concrete. It is a great scheme for doing away with extra men. The job will take some time be- fore it is completed, as it is big un- dertaking.
 It is now time to think of replacing broken window glass. It is easier to set it now than in cold weather. We have an exceptionally fine stock of glass fr the regula: sizes and 1t is clearer than you usually see. We can supply you with either single or dou- bls thick at lowest prices. A. 0.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Opposition to Beauty Spot at Junctiou
 of North Main and Cooke.

The department of public works met yesterday afternoon, Mayor Elton presiding and Commissioners Jackson, Holmes and Wade being present The payrolls were. read and approved and bids opened for the laying of water mains in the Bunker Hill road and in Aurora street; also for the deepening and widening of the channel of Little Brook on Adams street. No action was taken on any of the bids.
 A communication was received from Attorney Garfield. counsel for the Thomaston Tramway company, stating that the time agreed upon between the Tramway company and the c. R. X |. Co. for the completion of the road to Thomaston was July, 1906; but as this information was asked by the Board from the latter company and they had not replied, nothing was done in the premises except to receive MT Canfeld's communication and place it on file.
 Commissioner Loomis of the board of health, representing the Chase Roll ing Mill company and the Waterbury Manufacturing company, stirred up quite a little excitement by attacking the small beauty spot which Engineer Cairns has provided for at the junction of Cooke and North Main streets. Mir Loomis said it was bound to be menace to travel. The street is none too wide, he thought, at that point for the demands made upon h and this particular spot was desirable for driv- ing purposes, especially to heavily la den teams who find 1t necessary to keep close to the curbing on North Main street and want that square for rest whether on the way up or com ing down. City Engineer Cairns said 1t would be out of the question for a horse with heavy load behind him to stand where the small park is To- cated. Mir Loomis didn't think so and replied that horses stand there every day in the week. The engineer de tended his position by calling attention to the fact that it is not paved and added that In case it should be c0y- cred with vitrified bricks no horse could stand on it. The engineer also thought that the opposition to what was being done was confined very largely to the Chase Rolling NH com pany.
 The board knew nothing about the source of the trouble. They had order ed 1t paved and awarded contract for the work but knew nothing about a park, still Mayor Elton and some of the commissioners were pleased to see provision made for a beauty spot at that point. After the board adjourn ed the members visited the place but took no action which means that the park will remain.
 A great many people called to see the new park today and while some found fault with it others considered 1t the proper thing and hoped to sec one like 1t at every turn of the road about town where there is room to spare without hampering public tray- el To be sure good deal of fault was found with Stanley park at the junction of Cole and East Main streets and some tall kicking was indulged in when that modest little spot at Hill and North Main streets was walled in, but who would care to see these little green patches torn up now and pavedl This is what one hears from most people who come to see the thing of beauty.

FURNISHING SUPPLIES.

The principal American commissary on the isthmus was that under the control of the Panama railroad. which furnished such supplies as were re- duired by the American employees, either to these employees direct or through the medium of the proprietors of such hotels and canteens as were established for their accommodation.
 During March and April, 1905, the Panama railroad commissary was tenn porarily transferred to the control of the material and supply department of the Isthmian Canal commission. Under the law that the gross receipts of all supplies sold would have to be covered into the treasury of the Unit ed States, and all payment for com mIssaries charged out against the ca- nal commission. this department was re-transferred to the Panama railroad, in order to avoid this complication. as the amount of all merchandise pur- chased for the commissary depart ment would have f1ctitiously increased the cost of the canal to the amount of these purchases.
 The fegulatons or the disburEing department. which prohibited deiuc- tions from the pay of employes for the benefit of proDrietors of hotels and canteens. in liquidation of bills. was a serious difficulty. as 1t made the collection of board bills troublesome. Under the circumstances it was diffl- cult to procure qualified and compe- tent persons to operate ar establish boarding houses and canteens An al- ternate plan was the establishment If these facilities and their operation hy the commission. hut up to the date at which the writer left 1he isthmus. no plan had been devised which would conform with the governmental rezu- lations. and -Ess practicable and woFk- able under the coalitions.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Case of Jacob Beslinssr Was csn.in.
 usd for a Week.

Charles Goura, peddIer of fancy table covers, was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day for doing busi- ness without license. The man was arrested last evening on Orange street by Officer Halpin. Goura said he had a license two years ago and was under the impression that 1t was good fors ever. He was given the alternative of taking out license or getting out of town.
 Joseph Shields was given sixty days for intoxication and vagrancy, and a case against Jacob Berlinger for non. support of his wife was continued a week with the hope of settlement by that time.
 James Tierney was fined S15 and costs for intoxication, and the con. tinued case against Louis Lucci for as- saulting a small boy named Petine was settled for $20.

How Men Smoke Cigars.

my observation of smokers" saws
a cigar dealer, 'leads me to believe
that a mans character can be read
pretty accurately by the way he
handles his cigar"
Take the nan who grips the butt
fast between his teeth and just let's
her burn any old way. | have always
found him to be aggressive, bound to
get what he wants and do what he
pleases, regardless of the rights of
others.
"His opposite is the fellow who
smokes slowly and deliberately, turn
ing the cigar around and watching
the smoke curl upward. He's a good
fellow, | always think, easy going and
true as steel.
"The weak. c%haracterless man puffs
away carelessly and intemittently.
while the nervous man handles his
cigar clumsily, as If he didn't know
just what to do with It. The vain,
boastful mar tips his cigar to the sky,
while the level headed smoker keeps
il horizontal and puffs away regularly.
The man who chews his butt and
twists 1t from corner to corner OF his
mouth Is generally of a tenacious dis
position, but high strung.
1.-THE best fellow of all. from a so
cial point, Is the man who can't keep
his cigar alight. You'll always find
him a jolly companion with a fund
of good stories. Match? Yes, sir.
Here you are"

The government gave It's consent for

At the Portland fair these people Of
