 Selectman Dickinson of Danbury, was in Waterbury today and made a call at the office of the board of char ities. Mir Dickinson is very large man and yet he is at the rear end of the trio of selectmen of the Hatters' town, the other two being good demo. crats, but Mir Dickinson said that notwithstanding their differences in size and political opinions they agree very well. They had an expression of opinion on the question of consoIila- tion over there. but the people turned 1t down. believing. evidently, that un- less there should be some more ea,lita- ble adjustment of the matter of taxa ton there than they have In Water- bury and other places the new order of things would simply Tighten the burdens on some at the expense of their neighbors. Danbury, Mir Dick inson said. never was moro prosper ous than at the present time and as a consequence the poor gave them very little trouble this year.

WHISTLER AS A TEACHER.

A Genius Who Showed DiMcslty h
 Inparting Ills KAowledgs.
 Whistler was certainly a genius. but he showed some difficulty in impartins his knowledge. His criticisms were of ten foggy and uncertain, and he hard ly ever found words in which to ex- press himself. It was almost an i'm possibility to develop without becom- Ing slave and copying him in every way. With a majority of the students this was dangerous method. If one came with a spark of originality 1t was extinguished immediately by the dom. mating personality of the master. He could see art only from his own stand point, and he insisted on all of us using the same palette and the same brushes as himself and on our seeing all ob. jects with his eyes. The result to an ordinary outsider was ridiculously mo notonous.
 we'll remember Frenchman who wanted to join the class coming to view some of the studies and then re marking. with an amused smile. "voua avez beaucoup des petus Wheestlairs!'' This was perfectly true of the major fly, but there were a few matured men who hardly carried out Whistler's formulas as regards the palette and method. but who. owing to their more independent attitude, prohted much by the criticisms.

BEACH WINS OUT
Supcrlntendent Of Police VIII Not
 Carry Out Mayors Orders.

Would Mayor Thous have cause to feel offended at the action of Super intendent of Police Beach in going to Holyoks to witness Tho Clans man" If Judge Case should annul the mayors order and allow the play to bs presented? It would seem 70, for If Beach and Dodds had stayed at home. even though the order of the mayor was revoked by the court. 1t would still be up to the chief of police to stop 1t and If the chief wanted to carry out the wish of tho mayor he would without doubt be or hand and have the players arrested
 There are many who contend that once Mayor Thoms had given the or. der to have the play prevented f was up to the chief to stay at home and not bother going to Holyoke te see the play in order that he might be the means of overriding the may or's action. If the court decides in favor of "The Clansman" those who were indignant at the mayors order can give him the ha, ha, because Beach says he will allow the play to go on. If such thing happened some people might say and others would almost believe 1t, if the mayor and the chief were not known to be on good terms. that Beach just did it simply to show that he was not in favor of the mayors edict.
 Although some would be likely to censure the superintendent for the part he played, the majority of the citizens seem to think that he did the right thing. notwithstanding the ar gument that to carry out the wish of superior officer he should have re- mained at home.
 Mir Beach before he made the trip had to ask the mayor for permission to have the day of to go to see the play and the mayor readily assented.
 Some of Beach's friends will be likely to praise him for the part he played since they think 1t was slap at the mayor, while the mayors fol- lowers will be won't to criticize the chief for doing anything which would tend to knock out the order of one of his superiors. The mayor and the chief seemed to have given the mat ter very little consideration, but their friends are discussing the matter free ly
