 AOnoy Tor Celebyatlon.

After short calendar in the superior court this morning Attorney Bronson announced that he is member of the finance. committee of the Business Mems association which Is engineering public celebration for the Fourth of July, and that if some whole-souled brother lawyer would move to give the $50 in the bank left over after the law yers' banquet, for the use of the cele- bration, he would be delighted. He warned the lawyers not to speak all together or throw their pocketbools Ut him.
 Judge Cowell thought 1t would be as well to put the money in clambake, or straw ride to the shore some moon light night, when poetry and music and fresh clans are on the beach. Someone else suggested leaving the money where it is, hard at work draw ing four per cent interest. One law yer said if the Fourth of July commit tee would wind up the celebration with a banquet he would favor pushing the fifty over to them. ,But Attorney Bronson assured his brethren there would be no banquets Tn this game. As no one cared to make the motion Mir Bronson asked for, he said he would call 1t off and keep the spohdulix in banK It would do for nest egg prob ably and who could tell but something great would come out of it. The meeting was thereupon called off.

WILL ASK MAJOR
 HURD TO RESIGN

Hartford, June 16.-A round robin Is in circulation among the members of the First Company, Governors Horse Guards, asking the resignation of Major Gilbert P. Hurd, who has s been in command of the company about eight years, having succeeded Major Francis NJ. Warren. It requests the majors resignation by July l. A member of the company said last night that he heard few days ago that such a document was in circu- lation, but that 1t had not yet reached him and he didn't know how many signatures 1t had received. It is un- derstood, however, that many have signed
 It has been an open secret for some time that there was a desire on the part of some members of the company that Major Hurd retire and it is un- derstood that he has been aware of this feeling. This desire is not under stood to be based upon any objection to the major personally, who has long been connected with the organizat tion, but to belief on the part of the dis satisfied that change would be to the advantage of the guard. The or ganization is not making the progress that its friends desire and not unnat- urally the commanding officer comes in for the chief blame, whether he is really at fault or not.
 While at St Louis the organization attracted most favorable notice and for time after the return there seem ed to be better feeling. This was shown at banquet when the trip was reviewed and there was good fellowship on all sides. Unfortunate ly this did not last and the climax has been reached fin the proposed re- quest for the majors resignation.

 After Three Years Search Relatives
 Find Orphan at Newburg.
 New York. June 1G.-Young Miss Mary Oman. an orphan, poor, appar- ently friendless. has been earning a seanty living as a mill girl at New burg, N. '.
 After a three years search Miss Oman's wealthy relatives found her Wednesday evening. With them in Ireland, ease and every comfort await her.
 Her parents. who were connected with good Irish families, came to this city. They died, leaving three small children, who. penniless. were placed in an orphan asylum here. When their kin across the sea learned of their plight they sought the three children, but they could not be found.
 Stimulated by generous affection. the search continued for many months. At last her relatives learned that Mary had been transferred to an institution in Peekskill. With this tangible clue an uncle of hers came from Ireland. He discovered that John r. O'Neill of Newburg had taken the girl from the Peekskill institution and that she lived in the O'Neill family until recently. Her uncle traced her to the mill where she was employed. and then to her home. the humblest. Joyfully embrace ing her, he exclaimed:
 You will never know want again. And had we only known where you were you should not have suffered at all"
 The benevolent uncle is searching for the other two Oman children. and Is hopeful of finding them with Miss Mary's help.

NORTH WILLOW STREET.
Rssilsnts Csmrlaia Because of Con.
 ditions Ixtstinf There.

Residents of North Willow street have grown tired waiting for the trol- ley company to comply with the pro- visions of its contract with the city regarding the covering of the cobble stones at the switch near Ridgewood street and want to know how much longer the place is going to remain in its present shape. In 1898 the com. pany got permission to extend the switch on North Willow street, be- tween Hillside avenue and Ridgewood street, 539 feet northward. one of the conditions being that the street be paved from curb to rail with cobDle stones and that these be covered with asphalt. Whether the company ever put on the covering or not nobody ap- pears to know. but parties called at the City hall to-day and informed the powers that be that there is no asphalt there now. They want the city to get after them with sharp stick, but proba. bly, the double tracking of that street, authorized couple of weeks ago. may put the company in position to defer action on the thing indefinitely.

FREE BATHS
And Band CsHcsrts would l1aks no,
 Wsathsr Moro Endurable.

Music lovers hope that the open air
 concert given at the corner of Grand
 and Bank streets Wednesday, night
 will not be the only one this season
 A very large number of citizens want
 to hear these concerts once a week,
 anyway, and many think we should have at least two every week, while some say Waterbury is now big
 enough to stand band concert every
 week evepinR during the summer
 months. and some go 50 far as to say
 it would be a good thing to have one in the park Sundays, in the afternoon.
 This brings up the park question and reminds one of the promise made some time ago by the city officials to have nice bathing pond at Hamilton park this summer. Are we going to have 1t? Under proper supervision there is no reason why it would not be great public benefit to have suitable bath ing place there where people could take their children and learn them how to support themselves on the water. Everybody should learn how to swim and 1t is the duty of the municipality to provide suitable place for this pur- pose. It wouldn't cost much and a great number would take advantage of 1t. City Engineer Cairns talked en thusiastically of this matter some time ago and if he meant what he said then now is the time to come forward and put his scheme into operation. Young sters are rolling in pools of stagnant water in all parts of the town, and while this is objectionable, still few care to find fault about It because they have no place to go where they can enjoy bath without running counter with the law. Let us have that public bath at Hamilton park this summer, even though 1t does cost something. Superintendent Walker and his assist ants will take care of 1t during the daytime and if 1t turns out that reg ular officer Is needed there evenings and Sundays it will not be big ex- pense to send one out there for two or three months. Everybody is not able to take his boys to the shore and as there is movement on foot now to encourage citizens to remain at home as much as possible 1t would be move in the right direction to give young America chance to master the art of swimming without running here and there trying to take dip wherever. they see pool of water and setting out pickets to watch the police and the owners of the property. It is up to Mir Cairns and the department of public works, and they should move in the matter at once.

or cotton seed in keeping the soil open

Our cotton oil mills and chemists
tell us that the oil in seed is of no

for the farmer to lose the oil at home
than it is to haul it off to the mills and
give it away.

Hold Cotton is ConsuI's Advice.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The following
report from United States Consul
Smythe at Tunstall, England, was
given out today by the Department. of
Commerce and Labor, dated December
10, 1904:
III was my intention to cable you
To-Day In reference to reports that ap-
peared In last nights papers concern
ing the condition of the Egyptian cot
OF onr cotton planters of the South,
but l concluded mail dispatch would
accomplish my purpose just as we'll.
These reports are very discouraging,
lnasmuch as they foreshadow short
age in next years crop of the class of
staple that comes into competition
with American cotton. For this reason
l do not hesitate to say it would be ad-
vlsahle to warn the Southern planters
against any move on the part of Ian .
cashire manufacturers to forco the
scale of cotton at low prices in order to
meet the requirements of such a de-
ticiency.
"The general opinion in Lancashire
Is that plentiful supply of American
cotton can be had on 10-cent basis.
Combinations are being. formed to held
these combinations intend to operate
through agents sent specially to Loui-
siana aud all the cotton producing CEN
tees of the South. The troubles among
the cotton manufacturers of the East
are expected to aid in the development
of this scheme an they are calculated
to have q depressing effect on the home
market in their relation to supply ard
demand,
My candid opinion is that an snor-
mOhs amount of money can be saved
to our planters by taking this meter
up in time, and invoking the assistance
OF tho banks or the national treasury,
1t such an arrangement can be made,
to enable the planters to warehouse
their cotton until the present stocka
are worked up on this side, and the
necessities of tha manufacturers COM
pei them to break, or make liberal
terms with the growers.
The erection OF new mills in Ian
cashire, and the effect which their con-
s;::nniirrttii0n s:nii rrttii0n is likely TO nave o. tho mar
ket next year, lends additional interest
to this anhiect and eerves 20 empha-
size the views have taken the liberty
to present In this dispatch. Fifteen
cent cotton, Or even 13.cent cotton.
o difference of two cents, compared
with ten cents, on every bale Of DOT
ton exported, would cut very i'm
portant figure in the net assets Of one
years crop, and add materially to
the wealth and prosperity OF the
South"

across the frozen Geva, the net work
OF canals which interlaces the city
and the gates leading from the indus

brldgee and gates, men, women and
cnlioren crossed the frozen river and
canals on the ice by twos and three,
hurrr'ng to tho Palace square, where
they we're sure the Emperor would be
to hear them. The street approaches
to the square were cleared BY volleys
and Cossack charges. Men and wo.
men, infuriated to frenzy by the loss
OF loved ones, cursed the soiL;ars
while they retreated. Men harangueG
the crowds, telling them that the EN-
peror had failed them and that the
time had come to act. Men began to
build barrioades in the Nevsky Pros.
pect aud at other points, using any
material that came to hand, aud even
chopping down telegraph poles.
Fighting meantime continued at
various places, soldiers volleying aud
charging the mob. The whole city
was in state Of panic. Women are
