DOCTORS SETTLED IT
Will Not Act as Lodge Physicians
 at Reduced RaleS.

As was expected, the Waterbury Medical association at its meeting last evening, adopted the motion of the previous meeting to the effect that in the future members of fra ternal lodges will have to pay the regular prices for medical attend ance, that is, $1 when examined at the office and twice the amount when the physician calls at the house. This puts the "kibosh" on fraternal rates, as henceforth no member of the association will be allowed to be the doctor of any lodge unless he re- ceives the amount named above for every visit or call. It also meaIs that the I'M. Ds" will charge $15 for obstetrical cases instead of a ten- spot, as formerly. It is said that Ef- ty-two members of the association were present last evening and all signed, only one being opposed to the rule.,
 The new rule will have a tendency to affect young doctors more than anyone else-of course the public excepted. Many of the young physi- clans after receiving their sheepsFins generally depend upon fraternal lodges for their living the first few years. In this city the older doctors have always taken fraternal work when it came their way and at times there have been some bitter contests on the night that lodge doctors were elected. Many societies have been of vast benefit to the people by frr- nishing medical attendance and medicine during the year at very small price. The reason why the rule was made, so the doctors te- clare, was because the practice has | been abused. Men with a pain in their heel would call lodge doctor 1 when there was not the slightest nc- cessity Moreover, some of them not satisfied to get medicine for them selves, would often try to procure medicine for other members of the family in need of it.
 The lodges, according to their members, have TO intention of going without doctors. There are few physicians in town who are not on the roster of the association and these will be employed. Other physi- clans will in all probability come from out of town if it is shown thel C is opportunity of making a good liv- ing in this city On fraternal organ izations.

POLICE PROTECTION
Need Felt in South Brooklyn
 and Other Sections.

The need of more police is made quite plain almost every day, not only to people who frequent the po- lice station, but also to owners of property, who find it practically out of the question to protect it from prowlers who do not propose to work for living. This is especially true of business men located in districts where policeman is something of . curiosity. South Brooklyn is one of the spots where the blue coated guar dian does not make regular visits, and the smart set knows this and choose it as a safe field for their op- erations. The other day they broke into the plant of Browns Charcoal Go. on South Fifth street and made off with several things, including three coats. Last night they tried the game again and carried away two valuable horse blankets. It is evident, that they intended to steal the horses, but were driven away be- fore they had chance to get into the stable. The staple was pretty well battered, which showed that they had been at it with hammer and chisel They also entered the store of Mrs Moore in that district and left taking with them enough provisions to keep them for some time.. When these things reach the ears of the police department, a man is sent down to inquire into the situ- ation, but what does this amount to? What the district needs is an officer who would make regular calls through the territory and in this way those who live by their wits would find it pretty hard to ply their game. The same thing is true of other parts of the city, but the lawmakers claim that, they have so much use for money in other departments they cannot afford to provide the number of men necessary to protect property in all parts of the town. The most they care is to safeguard some and trust to others to look out for them SelyeS
