IS WITH ESINhATRS
And Wolrott People Are Afraid Mrs
 Hall Will Give Money Away.

All Wolcott was in the distrlct.court to-day at the hearing on the npplfca- ton by the selectmen of that place for a conservatot over Mrs Harriet Hall, aged 72. The general trend of the plication was that they feared Mrs Hall would give away all of her prop erty to Louis Esinhart, maclinist, living with his wife and child on Farm street. The Esinharts lived with Miss Hall at her home ill WoIcott before they moved to their present address.
 The first witness to-day was Select man Frisbie. Because Miss Hall changed her mind once in a while he thought she was mentally weak. He had never heard of the maxim that wise men change their minds, but fools never. Ill his opinion all lawyers are buffers.
 Miss Hall, who attends court in an invalid's chair, testified that her prop erty ill Wolcott consists of a farm of sixty-four acres, house and various outhouses. The Esinharts were with her five years and it was understood between them they were to have the use of the farm for taking care of her. They were good and kind to her and she never gave them anything for themselves. She trusted Esinhart with her bank books and also Charles j.. Futile. She could not say if she had deposited $40O while they were living with her. As to attention and care she received from her relatives she did not wish to say anything. She had no un- derstanding with the Esinharts when she moved to town with them as to taking care of her, but she had in1- plicit faith in them.
 Attorney Russell, her counsel, asked her if she, believed her relative, Mrs Futile, whose husband got building lot from Miss Hall for nothing, tried to get money from her, and Miss Hall said she did not care to say, only that Mrs Futile was a distant relative. During the past four years Miss Hall has withdrawn from her bank account $125 in two installments.
 That is so much the worse for her." remarked Judge Lowe.
 Continuing, she said that she. gave an order, the amount was not stated, but it is said to have been $7,O0O, with her bank books to Esinhart, and that he returned the books and burned the order.

 It is only natural that the people would like to go to the lake during he coming summer but unless the rolley company is willing to go ahead with the conditions imposed there IS lot likely to be much doing at the re- ort. The Connecticut Railway and Lighting company has spent quite a hrge sum of money at Quassapauy which will come back into the treas Try of the concern providing line IS constructed to that place. There IS
 large number of people who seem b think that the trolley company will un the cars to the lake when it knows hat the city officials will stick to the onditions imposed. And although the majority of the people are in sym ,athy with the taxpayers fighting Tor Improvements still they will be de- ighted if a line goes to the lake, no natter how it gets there.
 Supposing that the Connecticut Rail way and Lighting company should de idle that the conditions imposed were ultable and built the proposed route, would mean much. to the company md it would also mean n great deal b the pleasure seekers of Waterbury vho find this place rather dull espec- / ally during the summer months.

TAXPAYERS CRYING
|eople in the East End of the City Have
 Grievance.

That the people of the east end are huite incerised over the action of the
 board of public works in stopping at
 Cherry street with the paving of East
 Main street, is putting it mild. Now that the east end will have the base ball field and has the only beautifnf tfty park we have it seems that the approach to it might be the best we have in the city. Every other main thoroughfare has been rightfully paved and some of them many times repaired. and yet the east end has re- ceived no consideration. To be taxed for something that one does not get is karrying q thing beyond all human reason. I'll. present administration |boasted of all the .mbllc Improvements i've were going to get and they imme- ldiately started in to sanction patching |work like their predecessors. The people of Waterbury are taxed out |rageously in comparison to other towns which are far ahead in beautl- 'ful streets and parks. The people in this section were forced to eat the sand and dust from our dirty street all last summer because private cor poration desired to run their cars through this street regardless of loss of life and limit. And still this cor poration does nor even recompense the city one cent. City fathers. be reason able. and if this legislation will lot protect you against such a corpora ton, at leasr you protect your people. Give us a nicely paved and clean street that we may at least enjoy our health and front vcrandas the coming summer. To prove that the people from Cherry street to the Sacred Heart church mean business. pcti- ton is now in circulation asking tte board of public works for eonsidera- ton in this matter. It seems 1t is near time now that public improvements should he toward our streets. Think of 1.-the city of Waterbury hasnr three miles of paved streets. The city pf Niagara Falls has one street alone over three miles long with an asphalt bed. It is now near time that the people should demand. to know what Is being done with our enormous tax. We sincerely hope that this will be taken up seriously by the city fathers and give us chance. We are willing to do our part.

GAELIC LEAGUE CONCERT
Entertainsd Fair Sized Audience at City Hall Last Eveaiag.

The inclement weather interfered somewhat with the attendance at the entertainment given last night in City hall by the James Meagher branch of the Gaelic league, but it exercised no influence on the charafter Of the per formance and didn't dampen in the least the enthusiasm of the fair sized audience that listened to the program. Timothy Luddy presided and announc- ed the different numbers. Miss Clos ter, who was to have appeared. was i'll, but some of the numbers assigned to her were beautifully rendered by Mrs NJ. J. Wagner. The Gaelic tongue, exemplified by Mir Lynch of Hartford, struck responsive chord, and he was obliged to respond to three or four eli- cores. 'The Wearing of the Green by Mrs Minnie Crean of New Britain was a rare treat. and her rendering of Killarney was a complete triumph. Miss Nora B. Luddy won merited ap- plause in O'Reilly's patriotic poem. ''Ireland-1SS2" Miss Jennie Culnant, was heard to good advantage in selec. tions from Samuel Lover, notably the ever popular and sympathetic "Thc Fairy Boy" or "A Mothers Tear,n probably one of the best known and most popular of all Lovers poetical effusions Who that has attended school in the green isle does not re- member that exquisite poem. a few lines-of which run as follows:
 "A mother came when stars were pal
 ing,
 Waiting round lonely spring, And thus she cried while tears were
 falling,
 Calling on her fairy king"
 It appears that the fairies stole her little boy and disappeared with the treasure in spring or well. and the poet tells of the mothers heart-touch- ing appeals for the restoration of the child.
 A soprano solo. "Astilore," by Miss Elizabeth Edmonds. and a baritone solo. "The Valley Lay Shining Before Me" by Felix Gregory were well re- ceived. as was also the warlike notes of '0'Donnell Abco" and A Nation Once Again." by the Gaelic society. "The Low Backed Car by the Sacred Heart choir was a feature of the en- tertainment and provoked grear ap- plause.
 Altogether the affair was a grand success and the management deserves credit for the excellent manner in which every detail was attended to.

A PURCHASER
 OF REPUBLICANS
A Partial Explanation of the Great
 Demand for the Special Edition

The great demand for the anniver- sary edition of the Republican is again heard from this time through the col umns of the Owensville, Indiana, paper under date of March 31. It comes in d letter written the paper from Phoenix by George R. WelbOrn, who with his wife. spent several weeks here the past winter. MT. Welborn is a prominent merchant of Owensville and wrote his home paper as follows:
 'I sent you a few days ago a copy of the Arizona Republican: l also mailed 110 copies to my friends at home. So many had asked me to write them what I thought of Arizona that l tried 10 get enough copies of this ex- tra edition of The Republican to mail one each to all my old friends and GUS toners. but they would only sell me no copies. so l had to distribute them around Probably all will get to see them that care to. l am delighted with this fine winter climate we are having here. It is very warm and pleasant. Mrs. w. is improving nicely. and while We would like to be in Owensville. we feel that it has been time well spent in Phoenix. Everything. except vege- tables. is very expensive here. Rail- road freights are four times as much as at home and passenger rates cents a mile. Coal is 50 cents a sack-abous two bucketfuls. But, thank the Lord. you don't need much coal"

 A REAL HOMER-Lloyd Hall. Tempe youth. is engaged in the rear ing of carrier pigeons. and he has one bird he can guarantee to be a real homer. for she has been tested. He sold three pairs of pigeons to a resi- dent of Don Luis. a Cochise county town near Bisbee The birds were shipped from Tempe a week ago Sun day night. In the natural order of things they should have arrived in Don Luis Monday evening. Wednesday morning about o'clock when Lloyd was engaged in caring for his birds. one of the females sent to Bisbee came sailing home again and perched on the home cote. Presumably the birds were placed in new quarters on Tuesday and during the day this one managed to get away, making the trip to Tempe in time for breakfast the next morning. The bird, though was very tired and spent the most of We'd nesday sleeping. There is no doubt about the identity of the bird for it was marked with an aluminium band around it's leg and numbered.
