BRYAN STREET MAY GO
City Attorney Says Streets Have
 No Legal Existence.

City Attorney Kellogg believes that the placing of signs by the city on blind alleys and other places that have no legal existence as public ways would imply that they had been accepted by the city and would there fore be very likely to render the city liable for damages in case anything happened in them. This means that something ill the neighborhood of one hundred names conferred upon pri- vate roads in all parts of the town will have to be rescinded and that no signs will be purchased for them. It will knock out Bryan street in Mill Plain, substituted for Roosevelt street, and some feel so badly over this they insinuate. that it is the source of the whole thing. The hard shell republicans got their backs up about removing the name Roosevelt from the street names of Waterbury and using that of Bryan in lieu thereof and declared that they wouldn't stand for it.

RENTS GOING UP
Landlords Claim High Taxes Is
 the Cause of Trouble.

A good deal of bad feeling exists now between landlords and tenants on account of the advance in rents and 1t is safe to state that there will be more unless people who have mon- ey in the banks take it out and put up houses of their own. In all parts of the city rents have advanced any where from $2 to $5 month and the knowing ones say that the end is not yet. Some of the tenants are very unreasonable and make quite a scene when they hear that they are going to have to pay a little more. This is not fair. People don't build houses for sport and many so-called landlords are great deal poorer than their tenants, who in some cases could buy them twice over. Such tenants as these are not entitled to any sympathy. It is the man with a large family who is struggling to pay rent and clothe and feed several children out of $1.50 a day that is hit hardest and is entitled to most consideration The idea of man paying rent who probably has bank account from $1,000 to $10,000.
 What can you expect but out rageously high rents? Wide awake people got the nation into their heads several years ago that it was cheaper to rent rooms than build and as consequence you don't see many working people putting up houses uno ha first thing man did after he got a lot paid for was to look around to see where he could raise enough money to put a building on it. That is all most entirely done away with and the building of houses and putting them on the market is now almost entirely confined to real estate specu- lators and naturally they want to control the output so that they may be in a position to regulate prices. Isn't that the way everything else is being done in this age and why should it be otherwise with tenement houses. Men who have no means are an object of pity, but tenants who have thousands in the bank or out on interest and find fault because rents are not low enough to suit them ought to be ashamed of themselves
 The blame rests with themselves, not the landlord, and so long as the rem edy is in their own hands and they fail to apply it, it is hard to see why they are not responsible for the pres- ent condition of affairs that puts a decent tenement out of the reach of ordinary mortals. Any old attic will bring $15 month now and if

 "Wixie Muchas," called out the prosecutor in the city court to-day.
 What's that?" asked Judge George H. Cowell. 'Nixy? Did you say Nixy?"
 "Wixie,' repeated the prosecutor.
 q didn't catch that" said the court. "Is it Whiskey you said?"
 'Wixie." again repeated the prose- cutor. "Wi-x-i-e M-u-c-h-a-s," the prosecutor continued, "Petras Abra- tis, alias Joe Smith and Nanacas Zelecker, alias Joe Miller, you are charged with breach of the peace" A plea of not guilty having been filed, as the accused were unable to speak English. the trial went on. From the evidence it appeared that the row was in a boarding house near the Waterbury Buckle Cos plant and that Muchas got the worst of it. as the condition of his right eye and head indicated. Sentence was suspended in the cases against Smith and Muchas and Miller was fined $10 and costs.

Mad Dogs Are Harmless.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 When dog has the rables." said a doctor "he has lost control of his body and what he does Is mechanical His jaws snap involuntarily and if he en- counters any object, whether animate or inanimate, he is likely to bite 1t. But a mad dog does not attack as does an angry dog. He does not pick out vic tim nor use any strategy.
 For this reason dogs suffering rabies are less dangerous than is supposed. No grown person need fear them, for all he has to do Is to get out of the way Of course, young children are in danger, as they do not know how to dodge the brute A well directed kick in the jaw delivered by man of ordinary strength will put a mad dog out of business for time at least, and is much easier to land than it would be if the dog were merely angry and had control of himself"
