Inspector Slayin and the board of euu-

 notices to all the churches that are in
 terested in the meeting which will be
 held at the Third Congregational
 church on Friday evening to take ac-
 tion oil breaking the relationship ex-

 As one of the taxpayers of Brook
 lyn was on bis way to the mass meet
 ing last evening, one of his neighbors
 asked him where the gathering was
 going to be held. The following reply
 was given: Tt is going to be held in
 the City hall index and if that place is
 not large enough we will adjourn to
 the hall proper"
 -The St Thomas Cadets held very enjoyable smoker at their rooms in the I4yceum last evening. The festivities started with an interesting address from Denny Kelly. manager of the q uhAol lOoNDdl tCdIus uuliuss itiS talk he drifted to the new rules made by the football conference. He gave his opinion of the changes and also
 mentioned a few Of his own that he thought would do the game. large amount of good. The next event on the program was the feature of the evening and it consisted of q wrestling match between Mike Mahon. champion heavyweight of this section, and John Luddy. The contest was hummer, but it was short, both combatants will ing to quit at the end of fifteen min utes. Selections were rendered by the Imperial quartet, consisting of Thom- as Bockwitch. James O'Brien. Michael Blanstield and Edward Keefe They were roundly applauded and some en- terprising fellow can make barrel of money by taking them on q tour around the peanut circuit. Edward Dunphy was present and had few words to say about the prospects of the Cadets base ball team. No. he does not intend to play on the nine: he is only assistant manager. Charles O'Brien presided at the piano and Denny Clancy helped along with few contributions in the vocal line. The event came to an end with the singing of Never No More" by all present.
 An interesting story about the money spenders is to be our next story. Watch for the opening chapters of "The Spenders."
 The O'Brien Construction Co is not on the trail of the men who have been helping themselves to the lumber which the concern has been using in with railroad work along North Riverside street. Lumber is very expensive at the present time. and the officials of the concern have suffered so much from the frequent visits of the lumber thieves that they have finally decided to prosecuts those who have taken any material from their property. Yesterday being very cold. the men did not work, but a few labOrers we're left around the place tQ see that everything was all right. In the afternoon one of the fellows caught man making off with n plank which he was just able to carry On his shoulder. --He was nabbed and handed over to an officer who l took hi,nc, t9itbf station. It Is now said that tile construction company is to bring number of others | to court as it has evidence that many | of tlie cellars along North Riverside l street have goodly supply of blanks Dn hand for firewood. One of the | f0reman employed by the company TO- lay said that it would not be so bad l if the light fingered persons would lake railroad ties Qr wood which was | not of much use. but when they take | all the blanks that tliey can lay their | hands on it is about time to call a Ialt. especially when these same blanks cost about $50 thousand feet. |
 What a change has come over 1 Brooklyn. Gaze upon the cleanliness | ,f the streets and see the number of | hem that are being paved.

Although we were a long time n getting these Improvements. now UT streets are sprinkled daily and here is very little dust flying in ths ,rooklyn district. The property in his section has increased 100 per cent n value because of these improve leDts. and all this is because the resi- ents of Brooklyn would have formed
 little town all by themselves indc- endent of the reSt of Waterbury if heir requests were not granted. Peo- le who care to go out of town are ompelled to walk only q short dis ance to the local station, which is at he corner of Bank and North Riv- rside streets. It is beautiful little tation and will be enlarged whenever be people wish it. What do you think I that fine wide street running from tank to JewelryE Isn't that q fine rive: The present administration did hat work for us. Neither time nor loney was spared on the undertaking.
 mother improvement for which we re most thonkful is that of raising the ridges on Washington avenue and 'ank street so that they do not inter- Ire with large wagons that come to his section. You know anything we ant nowadays we can have. The reater part of the city officials are rom the Brooklyn district. Dan Iahaney is sitting in the mayoraIty hair: Eddie Donahue is city sheriff:
