BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Walks to kuIcahy School Discussed
 Again Last Evening.

The business done by the board of education last evening was mostly of Il routine nature. For an addition to the Webster school four lots were pur. chased for $2.5OO. The everlasting dis cussion about walks to the Mulclhy school was again threshed out. The lay q walk on Luke street if the prop crty owners were willing. and it turned out that some were and some were not, so the walk was not laid. The mayor. who presided. said it would be abso lutely necessary for the board to take the proper course this year and build sidewalks. On the same matter let ter was read from Dr Rodman to the effect that the city had an awful gall to ask him for permission to lay a walk, even a temporary one, over his land. after the usage it gave it while build ing the school. What the land suffered then it has not yet got over. It was trampled and torn by carts and horses and men and the turf considerably ill., jured. The letter was filed.
 A delay in the Croft school building Was announced and blamed on the steamfittcrs.
 l.. II. TOucey's claim for $229.O3 was paid at last, on motion of Commission CT Phelan. Mir TOucey, former Inspec- tor of Schools Matthew Smith and oth- CTS connected with the matter were on hand to tell all about the bill. At torney Minor counsel for MT TOucey, was there also, and likewise City At torncy Kellogg.

NAUCATUCK CASE.
Attorney Kennedy Advised to Pat
 His Claim on Paper.

They do such queer things in Nauga. tuck it would not he surprising that
 Justice of the Peace Seth D. Bingham had sent up false record of the ease of John Wiseman against George D.
 Hosford, 'ex-chief of police. to the dis trict court. Wiseman sued HOsfOrd for S46 commission on a sale of real estate and lost the case. He then filed notice of appeal. Attorney Ken nedy appeared for HosfOrd and Attor- ney Freeman for Wiseman. According to the rules of law practice the appeal should have been perfected within Il week following the notice. that is ol, December 17. and bond should also have been filed. It seems. however. that this was not done until January <. This is the contention of Attorney Kennedy. but Attorney Root. counsel for Wiseman, cOntented himself with the face of the record. which shows that the bond was filed and the appeal perfected on December 11. If the rec ord was false, it was Attorney Ken nedy's business 10 have it corrected, not Attorney Roots. the latter claimed. Attorney Kennedy did not wish to say that Attorney Root knew the record was false. hut he reminded the court that every lawyer is supposed to be honest when he stands in the presence of the court. and the record in 1lies- tion was not honest. Further than that Attorney Kennedy did not wish to speak on that point. Incidental to the hearing. however. he said some hard things about Attorney Root. the soft csth of which was that not an attorney in the city would do Attorney Root a favor because he would not do one for them.
 Judge Cowell advised Attorney Ken he1y to put his claims on paper and then the matter will he given due con.

AFTERNOON MEETINGS.
Scheme to Abolish Night Sessions
 of Board of Aldermen.

The aldermen have another scheme
 under way now and if they put it
 through. sessions of the board will be
 held in the afternoon instead of in the
 evening, and the members will receive
 something besides glory or shame as
 the case may De for such service as
 they may render. The thing wouldn't
 be worth mentioning if it hadn't orig
 mated on the majority side of the
 house. for the other fellows couldn't
 pass such resolution if they wanted
 10 and it is extremely doubtful if they
 would do such q thing if they had the
 power. But in justice to both sides it
 is only far to state that nothing detin-
 ite has been done in the premises yet,
 but if is under way and has many sup
 pOrters on the republican side. In
 talking the matter over. member
 who is very EM:p!l in favor of the
 change told a reporter that consider
 ing the amount of time q man de-
 votes to the work that comes to an al- dernlan it is not fair to expect compe- tent men to attend to the position for nothing. Aside from that, he wanted to call attention to the fact that there is no good reason why the board should not meet in the afternoon.
 Very. few citizens ever appear before
 the aldermen, he said, so that nobody could claim that the change would work a hardship to people who work in the factories or elsewhere and who might find it hard to attend their meetings when they had business to do with the board. He considered it quite different with the other boards. before whom large bodies of taXpay CTS appear from time to time. render ing it absolutely necessary that they mepl when people may be heard with out losing any time from their en- ployment. He thought better results would be obtained by the afternoon sessions because he knew of many valuable men who would not think of accepting an aldermanship because Of the night sessions which deprive a man from keeping other important business gagements, to say nothing of cutting them off from social enter tainments at the theaters and other places. He was not particular about the salary, but inasmuch as aldermen are paid in other cities he had a notion that the taxpayers of Waterbury would not find fault at q fair Iemuner- alton for service rendered. He believed that Waterbury has outgrown the stage when any number of its citi- zens should he expected to devote as much valuable time as is required of an alderman without receiving some thing more substantial than the honor which is supposed to go with the of flee. While there is some merit in the it is doubtful if the pub lie will look upon it with much favor just now. The change would be con venient for many. but it would be great hindrance to others. The change would not require charter amendment and the present admins tration may decide to try it.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Wants Marriage and Di-

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The presi. dent sent message to congress today recommending legislation authorizing the director of the census to collect and publish statistics on marriage and di- yorce covering the period from lSSs; to tho present. Following is the tex. of tbc message:
 --To the Senate and Housr of Repre- sentatives.-I call the attention Of the congress to the fact that no statistics have been collected by the federal gov ernnent upon the subject of marriage and divorce since the year lS~; and that but few of the states have pro visions for the collection of such sta tistic<.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol
lars Earned.
The average man does not save
to exceed ten per cent of his earn
ings. He must spend nine dollars
in living expenses for every dollar
saved. That being the case he
cannot be too careful about unnec-
cessary expenses. Very often a
few cents properly invested, like
buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later
on. It is the same in buying
Chamberlsin's Cclic, Cholera ard
Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but
a few cents, and a bottle of it in
the house often saves a doctors
bill of several dollars. For sale by

Booth and I~fncOln'H Death 1InSlS


A touching "Reminiscences of the great
actor Edwin Booth is told in connec-
ton with Lawrence Hutton's collection
Of death masks in Talks In a Libra
ry," recorded by Isabel Moore:
Caunt'S was one of the two masks in
the collection which affected Booth
most. The other, naturally enough, but
i'll Il very, very different way, was that
Of Lincoln. l shall neyer forget the
first. time he saw the Lincoln mask.
He asked innocently enough whose it
was, and when l told him, my heart
for Il moment stopping to beat, he rose
from his seat, took it in his hands and
looked at it for Il long time without =
word. Watt it meant to him we can
imagine. The whole awful, awful busk
CESS came back to him-the mad, dead
Brother; The m%artyred, murdered prest-
dent. Still, without a word, he put 1t
back in its place, and 1t seemed to me
as he did 81 that he kissed it with his
fingers. l have seen him in that room
look at it silently over his pipe many
and many q time. But he never touch
ed 1t or spoke of it again, even to inc.
What lie thought of it heaven only
Knows.
