CHILDREN HAVE BAD TEETH
Ninety Per Cent. of Those in the
Schools Have Diseased Mas
tiCafora.

Princeton, Ind, Nov. 2.-As a re-
suit of an investigation by the school
authorities, assisted by several dentists,
it is now claimed that fully 90 per
cent. of the school children are trou-
bled with diseased teeth, and Superin-
tendent Barnes, Of the city schools, is
advocating the appointment of dental
inspectors. that parents may be ap-
prised OF the condition Of their chill
dren's teeth, and see that they have
dental attention.
The superintendent contends that a
child with bad teeth is incapable Of do
ing the best work in school. The in
vestigation also shows that but a small
per cent. of the children make an eff
fort to care for their teeth.

THEATRICAL NOTES.
"BEN-HUR" INTERESTS
NON-THEATERGOER

Thousands upon thousands of people
who seldom visit a playhouse are
crowding the Chicago Auditorium
nightly to see "Ben-Hur." The keen
interest they manifest in its enactment
causes regret that more plays of this
character are not in existence. Ben
Hur" with it's lustreus Star of Bethle-
hem. its camels and chariot steeds, its
oriental trappery and splendor of the
gorgeous cast is one of the most elab-
crate spectacles ever staged. and yet
the appeal of General Wallace's re-
of The Man of Calvary" is brought
home with alI-compelling force. The
Star of Bethlehem. the alteration Of the
Wise Men, the heart-throbbing tale
of the meeting of Christ with Hur. the
greetings of the great multitude on the
Mount of olives and the final miracle
of the cleansing of the lepers-these
are some of the incidents of Ben
Hur" which separate it from other
plays and make it in its grandeur
stand apart
Special attention is being given to
the public of this vicinity who are de-
sirous of witnessing this mighty play
1t is advisable to write we'll in ad-
vance for seats so that desirable loca-
lions may be secured. Mail orders

FROM DOWN

Telegraph News by Direct
Wire from ALI Over
Indiana

indianapolis, Nov. "A carnival in
Paris could not have presented mer-
rier scene than the one in Washing
ton street during the celebration OF
Halloween. Hundreds were in mask
strolling along the sidewalks in the
street, on cars, in wagons, automobiles,
and even on bicycles. 1t was reveal
ton to those who watched the spec
tacle. By common instinct the merry
makers seemed to be drawn together.
They came from every direction seem
ingiy with Washington street as the
Mecca. There were women and girls
in mems clothing and many men and
boys tripped along in skirts and petit
coats.
Bent on Having a Good Time.
The spirit of the occasion prompted
rough, but good-natured play. In the
roadway there was almost a continuous
procession of hay wagons, buckboards
and other vehicles, filed with maskers,
all blowing horns, shouting, laughing
and struggling with the funmakers
who tried to join them. 1t was a
| mischievous army bent on having
good time. The police were over
whelmed by the spectacle. They had
issued orders against men masking as
women, for the reason that such an
occasion gives the crook an opportuni
| ty to work, but the wholesale viola
tons of the order caused them to take
a back seat, SO to speak. and watch
for those who ex0sSded the bounds.
Desk Sergeant a Busy Man.
Perhaps the busiest man in Indian
| apolis was Desk Sergeant Schwab at
police headquarters. The fun making
in different parts of the city was not
all of an innocent nature, as Schwab
was informed every minute, or as fast
as he could answer the phones. There
were tales of woe, complaints, threats,
curses and entreaties poured into his
| ear, and the bicycleman and district
patrolman were kept on a jump obey
| ing Schwab's orders.

does not call attention to anything
 nobody should infer from this that
 nothing is needed farther south.
 There Is, and in due time the com
 mission will hear from Simonsville and Hopeville.
 It is said that the north end is able to get all its wants out the regular appropriations and there appears to be some truth in this, since they suc- ceeded in getting a splendid water service and the handsomest engine house in the city in the half taxation district while sections paying full taxes have been left to do their own fire fighting. To be sure, we are told that they are going to be brought into the second district and made to pay on the same basis as all other thickly settled portions of the town. If this be so 1t will help tighten the burden on those who were short sighted enough not to have located farther out and get everything before being asked to pay anything IL would be folly to deny that the north end has had an advantage over any other part of Waterbury. People who own property in that section were allowed to be the judges of what they needed most and as a result building was encouraged and men were not afraid to invest money there. In most of the other districts when the people peti- tioned for what they wanted they were things that they didn't need or at least Improvements whicn they couldn't afford to have just then. and not caring to put the cart before the horse. they hesitated. and in this way they left themselves open to the charge Of not being quite as progress sive as the north end people. It Is but fair to state that property own full taxation limits go. paid for what they got from the city. but they re- ceiyed these things in the order ih which they sought them, and that is practically the only difference any body could truthfully say he ever noticed in the treatment of a petition from that part of the town towards that accorded to others. The growth of the south end was stunted on sc- count of the lack Of fire and police protection. the former especially. and even though these are supplied In the near future it will take some time to dissbuse the public that property Is not ss safe in that region as in other sections.

NEARLY AsPHYxlArED.
Workmen Overcome by Escaping Gas
 in East Main Street Trench.


 Three men came near losing their lives in ditch on East Main street this morning, where the firm of M. J. Daily 6 Sons is putting large main into the plant of the Blake & Johnson Mfg Co. One of the men, Mike Tangeo, an employe of the Dafys, Joe Sullivan and Joseph White. employees of the water department, were down in the ditch when an old gas main was stripped and belched forth the fluid in such quantities that the men were suffocated before they had an opportunity to "holler" to the wen on the bank and remained there nntil somebody looked down and saw them. Mir White was able to stagger about the pit and got over it shortly after getting a little fresh air, but the others lay on the bank apparently dead, one of them, Sulli- van, being black in the face and his condition was such that nobody thought there was any hope of re- viving him. The men were carried to the office of Dr O'Hara, where the physician worked over them for an hour and a half and finally got them in shape so that it was considered safe to remove them to their homes. White was as we'll as ever during the forenoon and went back into the ditch and went to work as though nothing had happened. The old pipe that caused the trouble is said to have been there for years, but was plugged with dirt so that none of the gas escaped until the weight was re- moved from it. People in the neigh borhood reported the men dead and for time even the physician was not prepared to say whether the statement was true or not.
