Oscar Wilde once said that there was

ignorance of the masses. So slang re-
minds us that the impetus of our times

STREET FOR DUMPING GROUND
Plenty of Work for the Sanitary Inspector of
 Waterbury.

Somebody should get after people who make practice of sweeping the refuse of their stores into the street, and also truckmen who make prac- tice of dumping old papers and other stuff that whirls here and there with
 the first gust of wind in places where
 it is bound to reach the public streets and become nuisance to everybody, and especially to folks in chNrge of spirited horses. Besides paper and other refuse there is something even more objectionable which unreasonable fellows persist i'll unloading under the noses of their neighbors. The other day truckman deposited q load of all kinds of dirt OH the side of the street in Il very thickly settled neighborhood, and another man in the same business dumped several barrelsful of rotten bananas, oranges, cabbages and toma- toes in another street. The health au- thorities got hold of one offender and made him clean up the place, but so far the other one has not been located. There is lots of room for ashes and cinders in the lots in all parts of the town and nobody objects to that kind of thing, but when 1t gets down to tin cans. fish heads. decayed fruit and so on, mostly anybody will want to enter q protest. The garbage contractor will dispose of all objectionable matter taken to the crematory, but it is cheap CT to unload nearer home and no doubt that explains why the sanitary inspec- tor is kept on the go nearly all the time h Fae 4- se z

THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER, :,

1t is very difficult for an actor who has been before the public for so many years in certain and individual sue cess to change to another style of pro- duction and give the same satisfac- tion. Francis Wilson, for so many years the comedian of comic operas. has attempted that undertaking in as suming the role of q comedian in il comedy drama or farce. as "Tne Mountain Climber is called. It was presented last evening at Poli's thea ter before very representative audi ence. but while there are many laughs accustomed by this genuinely funny comedian, there was not that same spontaneous appreciation of his work. The production can hardly be rated with the successes that have attenaed Mir Wilson's other presentations. Per haps the reason is that We alr liked him in his other work and cannos gel used to the change. The piece is elab- orately staged and very select com. pany assists the star. There are many amusing situations and some excrucl- atingly funny. but there was some. thing lacking that was very noticeable to those present.

IN POLICE COURT
Fou, Men Charged With Selling
 Without License Discharged.

Four liquor cases fell fiat ill the city court to-day. The accused were An drea Verrastro, South Elm street; Don alto Margiotta, East Main street, and Leonardo and Salvatore Santoro, Phoenix avenue, all store keepers. Each place was searched Monday on q warrant, complaint having been made that the accused were selling wine. Sergeant Pagan was the search CT and he produced q sample of the wines from each place. Ill the San tOros' place he found one barrel of wine on tap and ten full to the bung. Ill the other places there were from two to four barrels. The defense, rep resented by Attorneys Russell and Bauby, was that the wine was for domestic consumption and nona of 1t was ever sold. It is common thing to find large quantities of wine in the cellar of Italian houses, the defense contended, for in Italy it is wine in stead of water that is consumed, just as beer is the national beverage for Germany. Judge Peasley held that the cases were not proven and the accused were discharged. They were charged with selling wine without license.
 In the case against Byron Patterson for assaulting. Beatrice smith, aged Il, Prosecutor Melgs stated that after in vestigation he felt he could lawfully change the complaint to simple assault which he did, and upon payment of $50 entered nolle.
