sKlDhoRE INCOMPETENT
His Mother Says He is Ia Danger of
 Squsndering Money.

In the petition for the appointment of eonservator over Levi Skidmore, Attorney Bronson, counsel for Skid more contends there is nothing defin- ite and that unless it Is made clear and distinct he will not appear in court next Wednesday when there will be another hearing.
 Judge Cowell, counsel for Mrs Eliz- abeth Skidmore, mother of Levi. al- leges that he Is Incompetent to man. age his affairs and his proberty, which is about $7.000 cash, is fin danger of being squandered. Attorney Bronson desires that Judge Cowell set out his allegations for Skidmore's Incompetent y. This morning Judge Cowell amended the petition so that 1t now sets forth that Skidmores incapacity is due to the excessive use of drugs and drink. There was a tinie when Skldmore considered an hour before he would spend a cent. whereas now he gives no consideration whatsoever to his bills and his business, but per mits everything to be charged up.
 Some time ago he invested about $612 in business catalogues. expecting to sell them for S10 each. A friend h. formed the judge a few days ago that Skldmore evidently uses some strong drug, and that for some days he had been under it's baleful influence.

THE PAVING BLOCKS
Trolley cs Using city's Material Fer
 Paving Between Tracks.

The trolley company is making bet ter use of the paving blocks which they could not find room for when the
 blocks were being put back on Bank street between the railroad tracks and
 the bridge over the Naugatuck river. after the sewer was laid. than they did with the spare material on South Main street, nearly all of which was thrown In the dump in Hopevflle. The
 Bank street blocks are being hauled
 up North Willow street and used for paving between the trolley rails h. stead of cobble Many wonder why the city does not look after the blocks and store them in the city yard until such time as they could be used. but 1t seems they are not considered worth the while. One of the officials says it would cost more to cart them to Rene dict street than to buy them from time to time as the city needs them. Besides. granite dimension blocks are becoming unpopular In Waterbury and in a short time all such road material win be covered with asphalt or some other coating that viii not create such a racket as the blocks do. Prob ably there Is a little truth in this. buf most people will say that fl wiII be a long time before granite dimension blocks will be discarded in some Of the streets of Waterbury.

FLOOD OF BAD CHECKS
Willy Hr. Mcdonald Bought Every.
 thing in Sight.

Ansonia, Conn, Oct. 4 Becoming tired of farm work after two weeks experience, Robert Mcdonald, employ ed by Gideon Brown of South Man. chester, obtained a check book and started out to buy everything in sight He wanted his employers farm and instead of giving a check for the 5000 asked, raised 1t 5000 more, re marking that he knew the farm was well worth it.
 After that Mcdonald was a man of importance with the farmers in the neighborhood. Samuel Woodward, of Vernon. wanted to sell him a pair of horses and Mcdonald bought them for S400. Miss Maud Brown, a daughter of Farmer Brown, is to be married next week. Mcdonald presented her with a check for $1.0O0. At the bank yesterday Brown discovered McDon. aid did not have cent deposited. The willy Mcdonald borrowed $500. board ed a train and disappeared while Brown was at the bank.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Sailor in Uncle Sam's Uniform Fined
 This Morning.

Because he wears Uncle Sam's uni form, Frank Swinhart, sailor, thought he was immune from arrest ana could do whatever he pleased but he has different idea now.
 Swinhart told Judge Burpee in the city court this morning that he has been over two years in the navy and IS on ten days leave. His ship is the West Virginia and is stationed in New York. Yesterday he came to town With his friend, Michael Dill Ion, and got fighting drunk. Officer Walsh found him on the Bald Win street bridge using obscene and profane language, defying the police to arrest him and generally under the impression that he was monarch of all he surveyed. When Officer Walsh told him to cease he became offensive and defiant. But he was landed in the lookup eventually, and this morning Judge Burpee said he might overlook the charge of intoxication, but the breach of peace was too evident. He accordingly fined the sailor $7 and costs and put him on probation.
 The continued case against Cornelius -hCOiC lUi ellDeZZlelituL or pOo ITOul Division 5. A. O. H., was continued to Monday morning, there being pros pect of settling the matter.
 A diminutive lad of 10 years named Leo P1aine was charged with incor- rigibility. For a lad of his size Leo is rather wild. He ran away from the Gilbert home some time ago and was landed in New Haven. He ran away from friends there and recently he re- mained from home six days and five nights. Lately his bed has been a bus in the rear of the Jacques theater. His mother said that he is manageable. He roams through the woods and lives on the country he passes through. Re- gently he was found asleep on street in East Hartford.
 Leo's story was that he was not treated properly at the Gilbert home and he does not go to school because the boys make fun of him. In view of his mothers story he was committed to the state school for boys.
 George Swalm was committed to Brookside to work out fine of S1O and costs.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

"A large crowd of rooters will ac- company the Cadets to Naugatuck to- morrow to see them oppose the Star lights.
 "A couple of fine looking bay horses are being broken in at the No 5 house for use in the North Willow street building.
 Miss Virginia Cummings, Lenora and Anna O'Meara and Katharine Cummings of Torrington are visiting friends in this section.
 Thomas Luddy, an employe of the Gas company and living at Railroad Hill street, has resigned his position to accept a better situation in New Britain.
 Yesterday afternoon balky horse caused much trouble on Bank street. The animal refused to move on but was willing to sway from one side of the street to the other and make plenty of trouble for its owner.
 Jack Dahill, famous for his stunts on flag poles and steeples, per formed few amusing tricks on the roof of St Patrick's church this morn ing. Dahill seemed to care little about life as he scampered over the inclin- ing roof and performed his work as if he loved to be up such a distance. He was repairing the roof and paint ing the large window in the front part of the edifice.
 A fight which attracted a small army of spectators and one which had many professional bouts beaten mile took place on Bank street yes terday afternoon. The principals were a couple of men of this section, one well known, the other lesser light in this district. At any rate the latter offended the former who immediately started to put his tormentor into the land of dreams. They mixed it up in lively fashion and the face of each stopped some good hard blows. Friends finally separated the combatants and later an officer escorted the under eel ebrity to his house.
 It is now time to think of replacing broken window glass. It is easier to set it now than in cold weather.

hIDDLEBURY FAIR
Waterbury People Helping Father
 Loftus Tn His Work.

A number of Waterbury people are going to Middlebury tonight to attend the fair which Father Loftus is con ducting for the benefit of the church of St John of the Cross. A site was recently purchased from Eli Bronson and Architect Dwyer of Hartford says the site is the best that could be select ed in the town.
 The Catholic congregation of Middle bury has grown steadily from its or ganization on February z, 1904, when the first mass was said there. The building of the church will be hailed with delight by the Catholics and ap- preciated by their non-Catholic neigh bors. For years the Catholics of this place and of the neighboring towns were obliged to journey to Waterbury and Naugatuck to attend divine ser vice. They contributed literally to- wards the bdllt1ing. of the churchesin these uplaces.o,,F For this reason many from these parishes have, purchased tickets for the coming fair and are planning to attend it.
 A fine program has been arranged loL lhS AdlE estCh ulSuI ulu TelTeSu- ments will be served. A feature of the fair will be a contest for a gold handled whip, to be presented to the most popular coachman in Middlebury. The contestants are M. Anderson, at J. H. Whittemore's: Andrew Cluney, at c. c. Allerton's, and John O'Donnell, at H. B. Tuttle's. Each contestant has host of friends working in his inter- est.
 The parish is in charge of the Rev J. j.. Loftus, pastor of St Johns church in Watertown, and who has la bored faithfully to give the Roman Catholics of Middlebury a church of their own. That Father Loftus's ef- forts are appreciated by his parishion- CTS is plainly shown by their arduous support of the pastor and his work

With regard to the courses there can
be no comparison between the natural
