By wire this morning came the glad news from New York that the Elks' committee. Charles F. Raymond and Edward r. Moran. who went to the big city last night. had secured the Famous band of lady musicians known as the Nayassar Ladies' band. for their coming carnival and old home week" which is 10 be held in the new Buckingham hall from No vember to the 18th. This is the best piece of news that the Elks have received since they began delibara- tions and preparations for their car |nival. Many of the theatrical man |agers around the Connecticut circuit claimed that the Elks would be un- able to secure the band for the req son that the price would be SO enor- mously high they could not afford |to bring them here. Price did not stand in the way and the band will receive just si.500 all told for their lserviees Manager Splain of the lpoli's theater said on Sunday that If |the Elks could touch the band at any reasonable figure it would be the biggest attraction that ever came into the state of Connecticut. The |ElLs secured their services partly Through personal friendshhip and |partly through the reputation that Waterbury lodge of Elks has for talk ling care of good talent. All yaude- |ville lovers have seen the vassar Sls- |'ers in their musical acts. no doubt. Well. the vassar Sisters are included j'n the band and the Vassar Sisters elone get nearly $500 a week. To
 thow the reputation of the band it is aly necessary to say that they will |rlay the lIippodrome in New York EHt before coming to this city. They |ars7 the highest priced entertainment
 body of musicians that have ever
 been booked and they will undoubted- |iy create furore in Waterbury.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Sowing Glass VIII Be Disbandod Un-
 loss More Members AIe'A Added to It.

4 At the meeting of the board of Education held last evening. Superin- tendent Tinker ~reported that the evening school sewing class consists Df only nine pupils. Commissioner
 dcDonald moved that unless the humber increase sufficiently to make
 It worth the $20 week allowed for
 teacher the class be, disbanded. Commissioner Monagan seconded the motion and 1t was carried.
 3 Janitor Finton Keefe of Mulcahy
 chool was recommended for an in crease of $30 year. another room baving been opened in that school. s he increase Is according to the
 Ehedule.
 |I The annual convention of teachers Eill be held in New Haven next Fri lay and as usual the schools will
 uspend for the day.
 An application from Walter T..
 leynolds for an appointment in the kigh school was filed.
 Superintendent Tinker announced
 hat the attendance at the evening
 chool is very satisfactory, 613.
 Architect Leonard Asheim appear
 Id before the board with drafts of plans for an addition to the High
 chool showing that the addition to neet the expectations of the board would cost in the immediate neigh borhood of $50,000. At this an- zhouncement the whole board had a
 pasm. A few years ago a school Bike Crosby could be built for almost sthat sum. Mr Asheim after pointing 4ous several blessings like the above 10 be derived from trusts went into lsome detail. Retaining walls, he said, would cost something like $10.- 900 and furniture for the addition about $50,000 which would be about $100.0 900 altogether. Still the board should remember. said Mir Asheim, that the school now is accommodate ling. or rather trying to accommodate about 136 more pupils than 1t was built for and some have got to stand, there being no room for seats. The board did not wish to hear any more about additions to the school for the present. at all events, until it was seen where the money was to come from
 Commissioner Phelan reported that the heating apparatus in the Null cahy school Is all out of kilter. A motor was installed in the Driggs school which beats any motor of its size in the country. For five min utes the fans operated by 1t work the atmosphere into frenzy and the rooms are intolerable. It is then necessary to turn of the motor and in ten minutes the rooms are freez- ing. There is no intermediate regu- lator in the motor and it keeps the teachers busy turning it off and turn ing on again. The matter was re- ferred to the proper committee. The usual bills were then approved and the meeting adjourned.

Gompers. Thsyer and Donahue.

Bridgeport. Conn. Oct 16.-The po- litical campaign in Connecticut was opened in earnest here last night. Much interest centercd in the demo cratic gathering in Smiths theater where the gubernatorlal nominee May or Charles F. Thayer and Snmuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor and Charles l. Donahue. the nominee for congress- man-at-large were the speakers.
 Mir Gompers' address in the main was an appeal for laboring men to vote for those who will best serve their interest He referred several times to Congressman's alleged favor ifism for. and support of corporation measures. Mir Thayer made. an at- tack upon bo>sism in state affair. Mir Donahue said he had no apology to offer for his membership in a labor or ganization. He understood fund of about s1.GD had been raised for "ju- dIcious advertising his opponent. He would Ike that amount himself, he said for he felt that In making his own canvas he would advertise Mir Tilley fuily as well as the newspapers could. He thought it was severe commentary upon Mir I.illey's ability when a fund is needed to advertise that candidate. Mr Donahuc asked If It was not likely that that fund was provided by the "beef trust which organization the speaker said was the highest type of commercial Infamy. h conrlusion Mr Donshue aitackei ur LIllcy's record on labor matters and declared he was not the sost of man politically. inst workinglnen should veto for.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Some Foolish Republicans Want to
 Run Man Against Judge Lowe.


 A few dyed in the wool republicans who believe in giving the enemy bat tie are talking of running citizen Ticket at the state election with Judge Cole for judge of probate instead of Robert A. Lowe They can't recon- cile themselves to throwing up the sponge without fighting into the last ditch and claim that the work, of the probate convention cost the party several hundred votes. The dis gruntled fellows will not train with the democrats, that would be expect ing too much, but they will stew over it from now until election day and instead of going to the polls they will not only remain away themselves but keep others at home with them. The question now uppermost in the minds of the machine is how. to get them out and from the looks of things 1t will be an uphill job to do it.
 A few broad-minded" democrats want to know If Congressman N. D. Sperry does not intend to visit Wa terbury before election. If not, they say, he will make serious mistake, for while 1t is true that some very prominent democrats always voted for him, but if so they had an un- derstanding to that effect in advance and Mir Sperry dropped up here and spent few hours with the boys.
 The republicans still continue 10 wax warm when anything is said in connection with their choice for judge of probate. and although they gener- ally are cool headed fellows. because of the doings last week they are ex- pressing their opinion in no mild terms. A we'll known republican, when asked this morning what he thought of the chances for victory for his ticket, said he was of the i'm pression that it would be swamped. Tt certainly should be-" continued the member of the z. 0. D., when one stops to consider what was done at that probate convention" The speak CT then went on to lay the blame partly at the door of Judge Peasley., Judge Peasley is coming ouro now saying he deplores the action of the convention, but we are wise to him. He was aware of the fact of what was coming. Why was he so eager to get the credentials of one of the dele gates? Simply to get in at the ses- sion to see the plan of having Lowe nominated go through. There were many good republicans who knew what was fin the wind and endeavored to stem the tide. Dr Goodenough. for instance. went and procured the credential of delegate and made speech at the convention. but 1t was of little use. The slate was mapped out and there was no letting up on t. lt has cost the republican party many votes and will undoubtedly he remembered for some time to come" The above coming from the lips of staunch republican tends to show how the vote will go on election day. The grand old party is certainly hay ing its troubles.

words Between Southwick and Bart
lett in the House

What promised to be a serious personal
encounter between Mr.. George N. South
wick of New York and Mr. Charles 7.
Bartlett Of Georgia was prevented early
this morning in the House of Representa-
ttves by the intercession of friends. Mr.
southwick sought to pass a resolution In
creasing the pay of the tally clerks Mr.,
Bartlett, member Of the committee on
accounts, asked IL the resolution had been
passed upon by committee of the House
The Speaker informed him that it had not.
Mr.. Bartlett objected. During this time
Southwick was pleading with Bartlett to
let the resolution through. but the Geor-
gian was determined that 1t should not
pass. Backing away from Southwick he
took position on the republican side
Then Southwick made a remark that there
had been q good deal of lying in the COM
mtttee on the resolution and made move-
ment toward Bartlett. Thinking that q
personal assault was intended. Mr.. Bart
lett, who had a silver penknife In his
hand. remarked that Southwick dare not
say he had lied Or he would cut him
Friends interfered and the threatened
encounter was averted.
