1 finance committee shall fix the com. l pensatiOn of the firemen, so it is up l to the commissioners, and the alder
 men have nothing to say about it. The
 new rules for public works were read
 and laid on the table. All matter
 pertaining to Clark street were re-
 scinded and vote passed authoriz-
 ing the board of public works 10 re-
 port layout for the discontinuance
 of Popular street and the opening of Clark street In lieu thereof.
 The report of the board of public
 works on the condition imposed for
 the Mill Plain trolley, was assailed
 by Mir Sherwood. He said it looked to him like another scheme to keep out the proposed Milldale trolley. If
 not he could not understand why they
 wanted to build q road out into the country when the frost is in the ground while they have made DO at tempt to go ahead with the roads they have already received permis- sion to construct to Watertown and the Thomaston line. This matter oc- cupied considerable attention in the last general assembly and Mir Shcr- wood was somewhat at loss to see why our two senators voted against it so long as everybody in Waterbury wanted it. He moved that the whole matter be tabled until after the next session of the general assembly. In the discussion which followed Il was shown that the city has to act on the application within sixty days. if not the trolley people can appeal to the railroad commissioners, but the timn limit is now up and some of the al- dermen thought that so long as this was so they might as well take their chances and let 1t walt. With this idea Mir Spain seconded Mir Sher- woods motion and 1t was put and de- clared lost on what appeared to be a very doubtful vote, but us nobody questioned 1t. 1t went. A motion to approve the condition was then pass ed with one slight amendment offered by Mir Fitzsimons, that the law date for the completion of the work to be June i. 1907. instead of July 1. 1907. The condition as approved gives the company inc right to proceed with the work as far as the school house. They have no charter to operate on the woodtick road and on motion this part of the application was denied, the board having no jurisdietion. A list of streets to he sprinklci was read and laid on the table. X num- ber of electric lights and few other minor matters reported by the board of public works were approved. A few transfers asked for were ordered.
 It was thought that the board would take up the estimates. but 1t was late when they got through with other things and 1t was decided to ad- iourn for a week.

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 1--Gimpll6sd spelling held tho attention of thu house for an hour or more, the paragraph in the bill fixing the photographic stand ard in some recognized authority fur nishing MT. Clark (Mo.), MT. 0llistfe (Mass) and Mr. Livingston (Ga.) an opportunity to express themselves on the merits of the president's order to the public printer relative to the modi- fled spelling of 800 words in common use.
 Mfr. Gillette declared that tho 800 words advocated by the president was . very modest reform and in line with reform in progress in newspapers and magazines. Mir. Clark (Mo.) humorous ly calculated that it would take 800 years to reform the English language by adopting 300 words a year. He thought the reform was puerile, and he suggested that he would make only one bite of the cherry and adopt tho phonetic way of spelling and the short hand system of writing.
 Some time before very long," he de clared, ''the people 6f the United States are going to insist on having presi- dent that will attend to his own busi- ness. He declared no one man could sit as "chlef executioner of the Eng fish language
 Mir. Livingston (Ga.), the ranking minority member of the subcommittee having the bill in charge, stated that the committee had decided that con fusion worse confounded'' would result should simpiifiaa ape;lins be adopted.

MODERN srpERsTITIoys.

The story Of the prima donna who would not sing until her mascot. inc stag's head, was installed over her chimney piece is type or mod ern superstition. We are quite as credulous this twentieth century as our forefafhers of medieval times.
 What woman does not believe one of her gowns to be lucky and the other uniueky, How many refuse 10 don opals. while others carry a fstich in the shape of crooked six pence or rusty nail. lucky sham rock. or a hideous little silver pig about them! Everywhere supersti- tion meets one.
 It is svfully unlucky to break a looking glass. Friday Is q bad day to start on a journey. Sunday Is the day that all the best things in life have happened to cue. these are some Of the sayings that reach ones ears habitually. even know some who think the letter of a persons name lucky CT the contrary. and re- fuse to make acquaintance with peo- with people bearing the fatal letter

Her Voice.

 Her voice thrills through the wintYy slyI A banner free. unfurled. In careless triumph OCT the bare
 Bleak world. ii, Hark how those wild. exultant notes Lplift the lyric words, And rise as from the myriad threats
 Of birds. What ecstasy of heart-life, this, That gives full sweet and strong The rapture of the lovers kiss
 In song The souls abandonment to joy, The hearts desire confessed, Youths glad free life without alloy
 Expressed! Unconscious lute. whose music floods The somber skies with tune. Even as the ardent sap the woods
 Of June. What wonder love should claim his ktps He has no other choice. Az mute he hears his own, within
 Her voice. The Century.
