WALKER GETS NOTHING
For His Sanicss h Connection m
 Hamilton Pak Swimming Pool

The board of public works Is being criticised for employing Superlnten- dent Walker to look after the parks because he lives in Watertown in- stead of in Waterbury. Before mak- ing too much of fuss over this 1t would be well to inquire who gave Mfr Walker that job. He was employed by the committee on parks of the business administration. consisting of .. |. Holmes and Thomas r. Jackson, then commissioners of the department of public works. He proved to be . good man, and the present board de- cided to retain him, after tough fight which came near ending In blows. When the smoke of the bat tie cleared away Commissioners Finn and Nell showed signs of being bad ly whipped, while one could tell by the looks of Commissioners Walker, DennisOn, and Hartnett that they had won the day, but not without a hard struggle. Another misstatement about the board of public works and Superintendent Walker that ought to be corrected. is that he Is doing contract work in connection with his job as boss of the park. This is not so. When the board found that it couldn't do all there 1t to be done on the new swimming pool this year it was decided to have Mir Walker push the thing as far and as fast as the funds would permit without in any !, ,iu IL Walker gets nothing for his services in connection with the construction of the new plunge. That is what the commissioners of public works say, and they ought to know. Let us be fair with Superintendent Walker, ev- en though he is not resident of Wa terbury and doesn't vote with the democrats.
 Mayor Thoms today gave out the following statement about the mat ter:
 MT Walker has no contract with the city. He is putting down the foundation and concreting the bottom of the swimming pool as part of his duties as superintendent of parks. He gets no compensation whatever, ex- cept his regular wages, which are $3.5O per day. The work is done by him, under the recommendation of Aldermen Walker and Nell, the park committee, who represent to me that q saving of something like $1,OOO will be saved to the city, by letting the superintendent do the work at odd times, instead of putting 1t out at contract. l have approved their recommendation and the work is be- ing done strictly in accordance with the law.

GET THE BABIES READY.
Japanese Toys Will be Given Away
 At Fair Grounds Tuesday.

The carnival of baby beauty at the Waterbury baby show at the Mill Plain fair grounds next Tuesday af- ternoon will be one of the most ex- tensive yet held in the state. It will be under the management of an ex- pert and the judges will be picked from ladies of experience in Connecs ticut and Massachusetts. The entry list is already large, comprising ba- bies from many towns in this vicin- ity as well as scores form the city.
 Not only are the entries free but every baby entered and on the grounds will be presented with a pretty pearl shell necklace made in Japan and coupon entitling them to a finished cabinet photograph of the child at the Adt studio. Japan csc toys will be given to every child on the grounds under fourteen years of age. The handsome silver prize cups are on exhibition in the window of c. L. Dexter & Co and are much admired. A special prize has been offered for the handsomest Chinese baby in Connecticut.
 An interesting feature of the show will be a reception by Chuidama. the ayah or child nurse from Madras, India, who will appear in full native costume, including a profusion of oriental gems and jewelry worn upon the ears, in the nose, about the neck and on the wrists. To those who ask to see it she will show the peculiar wedding ring presented by her hus- band and friends in the city of Mad ras some years ago. "Ayah" as she is called will be accompanied by two beautiful children whom she has cared for since their babyhood. in an American family that resided for seven years in India.
 Twenty-Five silver cups will be awarded Tuesday afternoon, includ- ing prizes for the handsomest babies under three years of age in each of eight towns in this vicinity. En- tries can be made by addressing A. ]. Pierpont at Mill Plain. stating the name. age and weight of the child and the name and address of the parents.

That roller skating is going to he very popular In Waterbury the com ing fall and winter Is a pretty safe bet. judging from the number that is now patronizing the rinks fin this city. The patronage at the Casino on East Main street is large. while the rink at Eagles hall is proving very popu- lar. Last night a very large attend ance was present at the Auditorium. some undoubtedly being attracted by the announcement of a fancy skating exhibition. The performer vas Roy Beach. who although not appearing before the public. but a short time gave a vpry clever exhibition on the rollers.

ADULTERATED PURE" FOOD
Swindlers, to Make Money, Ruin the
Health OF People. Many Sam
pies Before legislature.

The meat packers of Chicago are
not the only ones who are imposed up
on -the public by impure and unfit
meat, but in other lines of food, start
ling disclosures have been made.
The house of representatives, the
the other day, to gain light for pure
food legislation, inspected samples of
practically all foods that are offered
in the markets. Groceries, canned
goods, catsup, pickles, jellies, and
every known brand of breakfast food,
were there. So, too, were gayiy col
ored samples of silk, some of them a
ward square, which had been dyed
with analine extracted from beautiful
red maraschino cherries. There was
black pepper, not to be sneezed at,
made by the ton, of corn meal and
lampblack. There were opium ''cures"
that make opium fiends, and "olive''
oil from the swell Union League Club
of Philadelphia, which was ordinary
machinery oil. 1t was shown that
though only 13, 900, 900 pounds of Mo-
cha and Java coffee were imported
last year, yet 25O,Ooo,OOO pounds of
such coffee had been sold at a price
twice as high as could have been OBJ
tanned had it been sold by its true
name of Brazilian bean, chicory,
bread and sawdust. There was bot
tie of beautiful amber-cOlOred honey,
and in il, as evidence of good faith,
was bee. This honey was not made
by bee and never came from a bee
hive. 1t was made entirely Of glucose,
and the bee was inserted as guaran-
tee,' of It's nuritV.

LOST PURSE OUT OF WINDOW.
Excited Lady Passenger Pulled Bell
Cord and stopped Train.

Excited Lady Passenger Pulled Bell
Cord and stopped Train.
The Atlantic Coast Line passenger
train from Camilla to Albany one day
last week had unique experience.
The train was running along at its
usual rate of speed, when suddenly the
bell cord was pulled violently several
times, the brakes shrieked shrilly,
and the train came to standstill.
The conductor rushed to the pas
senger coach and found woman al
most frantic. Inquiring, he discovered
that she had lost her pocketbook out
OF the window, and had pulled the
cord The rain was falling in torrents,
but the woman, leading the conductor
and three other men, ran along the
track for about 200 yards, until the
purse was found, lying in the mud.
The woman heaved sigh of relief
when she got her hands on the purse,
and said: "There is two hundred dol
lars in that purse, and it's all I've
got.
The rain-soaked search party then
returned to the train, and the trip was
continued without further disturbance.

No MOre---VesseI's Freight Holds
Submerged by the Flood.

When the Hamburg-American steam
ship Allegheny reached New York
from South American ports and Porto
Rico it's officers and crew told thrill
ing story of an encounter between the
1900 ton freighter and monster wa
terspout which struck and burst over
the ship like a giant thunderclap. But
for the fact that the Allegheny was

her TO lie low in the water, she would
certainly have gone to the bottom, de-

The extraordinary demonstration oc-
Cured just after Alybreak about
hundred miles off Cape Hatteras. First
Mate Otto Reimerts was on the bridge,
and Quartermaster Antonio Giovanni

knocked senseless by the waterspOut,
the bridge rails and iron canvas sup
ports were crushed like toOthpicks,
and the vessel itself came within an
ace of turning turtle.
A strong gale was blowing and Rel
merits, first sighting the swirling fun
mel shape on the horizon, had barely
time to shout a warning to Quarter
master Giovanni at the wheel when the
spout veered sharply and bore down
on the vessel at express speed.

Lady Cmrzon Dead.

Lady Curzon of Keddleston is dead
after an illness of ten days She was
daughter of Levi Letter, of Chicago,
millionaire grain operator. Lady
Curzon had been in i'll health for a
long time. The climate of India af-
fected her adversely very quickly and
when her husband came home on his
first vacation her condition was not at
all satisfactory to her friends. Short
ly after her return to India the fear
full earthquake occurred at Simla and
Lady Curzon and her children had a
narrow escape from being crushed to
death in the vice regal palace. She
never fully recovered from the shock
of that awful disaster and the close
call which she and her little ones had.

The Doctors Won Out.

1t has been decided by an Austrian
court that when a physician is called
up over the telephone and gives medi-
cal advice the advice must be paid
for the same as if the patient had
called at the physicians office or he
had gone to the patients bedside. 1t
seems that number of Vienna peo-
pie had been in the habit of calling
up doctors, receiving advice and then
refusing to pay on the ground that
there had been no visit and no per-
scription. The doctors got tired of
that sort of thing and made test
case in the courts, which they won.

published by request)
Come home early, Willie,
You know | cannot sleep,
AS in my room so lonely
| watch, pray and weep;
Praying 10 our Father
To shield you from all snares,
That are set around your tootstep
To catch you unawares.
Come home early, Willie,
You are my only boy,
In you all pride is conferred
My only hope and JOY;
How can [ see you straying
From all that's good and pure?
My heart is filed with anguish,
And the pain l can't endure.
The tinkling of the glasses
Makes music in your ears,
But the wine is watered
By many mothers tears,
When you are indulging
In pleasures that seem bright,
Remember mothers praying
Come home early tonight.

most wholly elective, giving only one
degree-the A. B. degree--in the col
lege of Arts and Sciences. Scholastic
standards are high and teaching thor
ough, but the prime object Of all dis
cipline is to develop the highest type
of christian manhood. Our aim is the
building of character, and our tradi-
tons and environment contribute
greatly to this aim. Our equipment
consists of twenty professors, eleven
buildings, twenty thousand volumes
and one hundred current periodicals;
a library and reading room, we'll
equipped chemical, physical, blolog-

Modest Claims Often Carry the Most

down on US. 1t was approaching at
the rate, 1 should say, of fully fifty
miles an hour.
First shouting to the Quartermaster
at the wheel, l just had time to take
a firm hold on the bridge rail when the
spout slapped us.
1.-THE great whirling column of water,
topped by a white cloud of foam,
which as it developed was solid water,
was fully sixty feet thick and COM
pletely blanketed the ship as it thun-
dered upon us"
Reimerts and the quartermaster
were unable to tell just what happen
ed then, as they only regained con-
seriousness ten minutes later.
Third Mate Licardi, ON watch at the
far end of the vessel, said the Alleghe-
ny was struck a glancing blow on the
port bow.
Instantly the towering superstructure
of the spout collapsed, falling on the
vessel with a weight estimated at
many thousand tons. SO great was its
velocity. however, that the big freight
or was first lifted half out Of the wa
ter and then thrown violently over,
shipping several tons Of water on the
starboard decks before she righted.
Captain Erich Bode, who was thrown
from his bunk by the force of the col
lision. hurried on deck just after the
immense mass of water fell. Tons of
it were flooding the freight holds, and
the vessel, half submerged, was striv-
ing desperately to shake off the giant
incubus
Captain Bode described the demon
stration as sounding to him, cabined
below, like the roar Of dozen Niaga-
ras. He said the vessel was caught
well forward, fortunately, but was
whirled about and tossed to leeward
as though it were a mere chip.
