Held Outing Yesterday Looking Up
 Public Improvements.

| 1 The board of public works held an
 outing yesterday afternoon and look ed over certain sections of the city where public Improvements have been asked for. On returning a session was held in the annex, Mayor Thoms presiding, and all the members being 1 present.
 Property owners on West Main street, from Prospect street to Cen | tral avenue. north side, were called and heard relative to laying curb. There was no objection to the work. 4 similar condition of things was dis 1 coyered regarding the hearing called for a sewer on North Main street. The matter of remaining Spring.
 Prospect, Maple, William and Orchard streets in Wateryille. was brought up
 but the only person who appeared was George L. Jenks, who pleaded guilty for the existence of some of the
 names, which are the same as some of the older streets of the city. He said he didn't know much about ,nunici- pal affairs when he did that as he does now.
 The matter of remaining George. Clark, Spencer and Grove streets and Grandview avenue. all streets on Town plot. was also taken up. l.. K. Carter said there is q Grandricw street and Grandview avenue ill that part of the town and that inas- much as the latter existed before the former he believed that it should hold it's name. MT Carter presented T pe- %;< e,t<~ f.r- n1I hn 1fs f.f Grandyiew avenue asking that Eo change be made ill the name.
 Dr De Liguori was head regarding the throwing of objectionable matter into the Naugatnck river. The doctor also stated that the stream is being filled ill little from time to time on both sides and that before long the bed will be so narrow there will not
 be room enough for the water to get through in time of freshets. Mayor
 Thoms promised to look into the mat ter and also hinted that the doctor
 might make call upon the board of
 health.
 John Lancaster wanted to know if
 anything is going to be done about
 putting a sewer in lower South Main
 street It appeors that people down
 that way who have been sewering
 into the old raceway have been given
 to understand that they soon will
 have to abandon 1t.
 The committee on water and sewers
 submitted a favorable report on the
 application for the extension of the
 water and sewer into Fuller street eS.
 tension, a distance of about 36O feer.
 Similar reports were also received OH
 the petition for fire hydrant on Thomaston avenue at Sprague school
 and for water main in Willard ar-
 enue. distance of 900 feet. all of
 which were fayorably reported to the aldermen. "
 Superintendent Kilduff submitted a
 favorable report on the application of the Blake X Johnson Co to make six inch tapping with the water main on East Main street to feed sprink.
 lers. The report was approved. Sn- perintendent Kilduff called attention
 to the extension of the sprinkler sys- tem and suggested that some plan be devised whereby those who take ad- vantage of the water system in this way be obliged to bind themselves to
 abide by the rules of the water de- pertinent.

To Overcome a Habit.

A schoolmaster once said to his
pupils that he would give a pri re
to the boy that would make the
best piece of composition in five
minutes on How TO Overcome a
habit" When the FIVE minutes
had expired. a lad of nine years
stood up and said: well, sir.
habit is hard to overcome. If
you take of the first letter it does
not change 'abit.' II you take off
another letter you still have a bit
left. If you take off still another,
the whole Of it remains. II you
take of another it is not totally
used up. all of which goes to
show that if you want to get rid
of habit YOU must throw it of
altogether" Result-He won it.

receives. Who does more favors

Who gets censure for her bad

WOMEN AS EXPLORERS.
One of Them Crosses Northern Lab
radOr with Husband.


The arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Steph-
en- Tasker at Fort Kimo on the east
coast Of the arctic peninsula, adds an
other to the list of women explorers,
says the New York World. AS prob
ably the first white woman to cross
northern Labrador, she has fairly won
her spurs in a field of adventure for
which her sex has of recent Years
shown a rare aptitude. Mrs. Tasker's
feat will recall Mrs. Hubbard's ven

arctic voyage of Mrs. Peary. The re-

BATTLE WITH BIG BABooN.
Desperate Struggle on Shipbo,rd
Between Animal and Keepers.

Desperate STRUGGLE on ShpDo-srC
Between Animal and Keepers.
An exciting story of a baboon's cs-
cape from its cage on the Union-Castle
liner Comrie Castle was told when the
vessel reached Plymouth Oh the way
to London, with large collection Of
wild animals on board, including five
wolves and eight zebras, the property
of Herr Windhorn.
Herr Windhorn, who for thirty years
has collected wild animals, which he
sells to dealers and geological gardens,
said the baboon stood feet 6 inches
in height and was very wild. About
week after leaving Cape Town it
broke out of its cage, but fortunately
the escape was discovered before the
animal reached the deck. For two
days, however, ii was ut liberty in the
hold, showing fight whenever it was
approached.
An effort to snare the bab0on by
the cargo nets was found impracticable
on account of the 15-foot leaps which
the animal made whenever it was APP
preached. At length Herr WindhTn
yentured into the hold with his keeper
and endeavored to secure the babooI,
the keeper Offering it food while the
owner tried to come TO close quar-
tiers.
Herr Windhorn's foot caught in Il Nc
and he slipped, whereupon the baJooa
at once made Il furious onslaught on
him, fastening his teeth in the cOilec-
tors leg 1t was impossible to shake
off the powerful beast. In his effort
to release himself Herr Windhorn tried
to force open the jaws Of the baboon
with his hands. He was in a measure
successful, but the baboOn quickly fas-
tened his fangs in Herr Windhorn's
right hand, which was injured even
more extensively than the leg. The
keeper, who hurried to his masters
aid, quickly became the subject of at
tack, the baboon infiicting several bites
liner was also bitten.
The beast afterward refused to be
overcome by half 4 bottle Of whisky
and a dose Of opium powerful enough
TO poison ten men was also given him
in bottle of lemonade without effect
Eventually Il large grating was fixed
outside the companion way and then
by means of a display of fruit the
brute was coaXed near it and as he
stretched an arm through the grating
TO grasp an orange he was secured
Legs and arms were at length tightly
dashed, after which the baboon attach
ed to the grating was returned to his
cage and then released. He died four
days later and Herr Windhorn says he
thinks death was due TO broken heart
