FTench Scheme FaIled.

When. four years later the Paris EX-
position was being held and every pos
slble aid was required 10 make the
gigantic undertaking a success. NJ Ie
Baron de CoubeTtin. with his self-Cou-
stituted. seIf-perpetuating committee
"Des Jeux Olympiques" came 10 the
rescue with the suggestion that the new
cycle might be celebrated az Paris. So
in 1900 a second Greek festival, minus
the Greek. was held ia Paris. and
though notable athletic meet resulted
in which America swept the boards.
there was al no time go spectators AT
any meeting. and the event bore not
the slightest resemblance TO the his
tUTiC Olympic Carnival
II was voted then by the self-constitU-
ted committee that the next games
should be held in Chicago. and when
objection was made 10 some phases OF
the games conduct. the ObjecJOrs on
the committee were summarily dismiss

TEXTILE WORKERS BUSY.
Meeting to Consider Manufacturers
 Offer of an Advance.

New Bedford. Mass. Dec S.--Great interest exists In all cotton mill dis tricts of southern New England in a number of textile union meetings called for different hours here late to-day to consider the offer of the manufacturers to advance wages 7h per cent next Monday. The coun- ell recommended that the offer be rejected and that the operatives in- 'sist on the original demand of 10 per cent raise.
 When the rate of increase here is decided upon it will affect from 40,- 900 to 50,000 hands in southeastern New England outside of Fall River, as the cotton manufacturers of Rhode Island and in several places in this state have announced that they will adopt the New Bedford schedule.
 The loom fixers' union met last night and voted on the 7k per cent offer. The result of this and three other meetings this afternoon will be reported to special meeting of the textile council at 9 o'clock to- night.

THE POLICE COURT.
Harry Hill Fined elOO and Given Six
 Months i'm Jail.

I
 Months in Jail. Harry Hill who has quite long record in police matters, was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with theft of s52, the prop erty of Mrs George O'Loughlin, and with breaking into the residence of her mother, Mrs Margaret Shannan, 2o Walnut street on the afternoon of August Q. Edward Burns who un- til recently ran saloon on South Main street told the story of tue oc- currence. He said that he met Hill on Liberty street on August 3, and together they went to Walnut street to see Hills mother, Mrs Brown. They, however. did not zee her. but on the way, Hill told Burns to stand on the sidewalk opposite Mrs Shan nan's place. Hill then went on the veranda, opened the window blinds and entered the house and remained inside few moments. All was done in five minutes. They then moved away and Hill showed Burns S52. He offered him $20 and Burns took it, but returned 1t later. He wanted Burns to meet him in New Haven to have a good time with the money, but Burns resisted the temptation. He did not see him from that time until Wednesday.
 Henry Massocotte testified that on Wednesday night Hill told him he had done good job on Walnut street. What the nature of the job was he did not say. Mrs O'Loughlin stated that the money was in hand bag in drawer in sideboard. For theft Hill was fined $50 and costs and committed to jail for four months and breaking into the house he was given six months and fined $100 and costs.
 Simon Calabrese, alias Domenlco Dadona. was charged with breaking into Giovanna Daurio's store at o50 Bank street on the evening of No vember 23. He took only a few ap- ples and was fined S7 and costs for plse and was fined $7 and costs for theft.
 Fred Stemborm was committed to Brookside for ninety days for intoxi- cation.
 Patrick Riley was fined s7 and costs and Alfred Larrivere for not having lighted lanterns on building material at the corner of South Main and Lounsbury street was also fined $7 and costs.

MILL PLAIN TROLLEY
Discussed al Meeting of Board of
 Public Works Yesterday.

The board of public works held a long session yesterday afternoon ard went over the application of the c. K. and L. Co for the extension of ! line into Mill Plain very thoroughly, and then agreed upon such conditions as they thought ought to be imposed after which 1t was voted to recon,- mend to the aldermen that the appli. cation as amended be granted. The conditions provide that the company grade the street at its own expense to It's full width, put the tracks in the center of the highway and have the road in operation on or before July 15. 1907. The petition calle ! for approval of It's plans for greater distance than the company has char ter rights. but the board Topped off that end of it and confined their re- port to such distances of the stre,t as the company is authorized to %. crate upon.
 When this was disposed of an O. dinance on parks was taken up and fayorably referred to the aldermen. It contains rules and regulations for the parks of the city, something the same as those in force in New Haven and other New England cities.
 The petition of James Langton ct al for the use of the old engine house in Brooklyn as a place to hold se,- sions of the Polish band was consid- cred and looked at from every stand point. The commissioners are all old time musicians and first-class dancers, but they close their eyes and lie down to sleep once in a while and when they do they don't want brass band next door. They reasoned that their neighbors over in Brooklyn wouldn't care for that sort of thing either, and on this account 1t was voted not to allow the band to play in the brick structure on Bant street, formerly the home of that gal lant band of fire fighters known as Protector Hose company No 4. "The place is too thickly settled" re marked one of the commissioners, for that kind of business, and while some might enjoy it. most folks would be annoyed by 1t, and it wouldn't be long before we would be asked to stop it..

Nowadays divorce pro- ceedings set mixed up with the flnan. clal news and stock market reports.

 Can . horse have nervous prostra- ton? A jury in New York court thinks 50, for 1t has awarded a mem Der of the Coaching club damages oI $26O in 9 case involving the question whether valuable horse was not permanently affected by that disease by, being run into by an automobile. And why not? Horses certainly have nerves--more nerves, and more sen sitive nerves, it would sometimes seem, than man, or even woman. And as neurasthenia may be caused by shock in the case of human beings, there is every reason to suppose that the same cause may induce it in horses.
 Evidently the men of Waterbury are letting some good chances slip by them if one could judge from the following advertisement published in the Denver Post:
 Lady of refinement desires to
 marry elderly gentleman at
 once; $30,000: many others
 equally as good; wives have no
 objection to assist husbands
 financially. For particulars ad-
 dress c box, Waterbury, Conn"
 The above was sent on from Den yer by Miss Rose E. Connerton, formerly bookkeeper for the Jacques theater and with the notice came also an injunction from the young lady that the young men of Water- bury should get busy and not let chances like the above get away from them. With $3O,0OO floating around loose the As You Like It Man is under the impression that an ad- vertisement inserted in the Demo. crat would fill that G box in the local postofflce with epistles burning with love and undying affection, If not for the woman, most assuredly for the money. When wives have no objec- tions to assist husbands financially there should be no dearth of answers. The bachelors of this city should not let an opportunity like this escape them or some wild and woolly vest erner will be scooping in the ducats. The writer has in mind several eligi- ble chaps right in this vicinity who should improve the opportunity thus offered them. There are some mar ried ones. too, who expressed the opinion that they had joined the ranks of the matrimonial contingent altogether too soon. When the re- turns come in perhaps the joker will take the trick, for q Waterbury wo- man in search of husband, whom, she wants to support, wouldn't have to go many yards. not to speak about travelling out to Denver, to find her. self kidnapped and harnessed for life before she could even enter an oh- jection.

Stickney on Rate Regulation.

u RESIDENT STICKNEY Of the Chicago Great
= Western railway had lots Of fun the other
day in his speech before the Minnesota Municipal
league with the investigation conducted by the
senate last summer on The question Of ratemaking
and government regulation Of rates. @"*- ~
- Mr.. stickney believes in government regulation.
He is one Of the few railroad presidents who
longheaded enough to know that government regua-
ton is sure to come He was not asked to appear
before the commission and his well-known views on
the subject will probably explain why he was not
called for by that .one-sded committee. He says
however, that he has had the report Of that hearing
carefully analysed by San experienced lawyer
who has prepared brief of it's contents There is
strong suspicion that Mr.. Stickney is the "exper
enced lawyer himself, for it would take an expert
enced railroad man rather than an experienced
lawyer to make the most out Of that report. :E. 4
IS He shows the Inconsistency and absurdity Of
some Of the contentious Of the railroad men, citing:
for instance, the claim Of president and traffic
manager that government regulation fwould result
in stability of rates, and remarks that in his udgs
ment and according t. the testimony of manufac
turers and business men generally stability Of rates
would be the best thngsthat could happen.
He cites The testimony Of railroad fnanciers to
the effect that government regulation would be dis
astrous to railway securities and then he proceeds
to- comment upon the recent trend Of the market.
where in spite Of a. short money supply and almost
unprecedented interest rates stocks advanced, many
Of them, to new high points right in the face Of
the probable passage Of rate regulation bill by
congress. ~, ..-z-%. >s%<~~ III 49, s.::::
He discovers in this report also a favorite boyle
man who has done service for great many years
since, in fact, the granger movement with its
pressure for reduced rates began. The public has
been told before that government interference in
railroad rates is going to stop railroad building
This is an argument against rate regulation, and
yet the very men who made that argument before
the committee are, as Mr.. Stckney says planning
to build more railroads during the coming summer
than possibly be accomplished with the laboj
which is likely to be available. -.
The substance of Mr. Stickney's remarks touch
ing this regulation question may be found in another
column today. In the same connection he paid a
high tribute to President Roosevelt for his determi
nationt to make such a beginning should establish
the principle Of government regulation -.
Here is railroad man who, along with very
few Of his class, recognizes the fact that the real
danger to the railroads lies not in the of the
presidents policy but rather in it's possible failure
