GIRLS IN ENGINEER's OFFICE.
City Engineer Says Men arc not
 Stayers.


 For some time past the bureau of engineering has found 1t dihlcult to keep the right kind of men folks in its employ. partly because the wages were not up to the standard paid for that class of work in other places and to some extent on account of the spirit of adventure that takes hold of the average young man about once in so often and prompts him to get out and see some of the world. Mir Cairns does not propose to lose any more of his time tagging after young fellows to hold onto their jobs. He has reached out among the fair sex body needs be surprised to see half a dozen bright young women hustl- ing away at the tracing benches and probably the day Is not far off when they will be pressed into service as inspectors on work outside, though no such thing Is contemplated at this time. Miss Julia F.. Kjellerstedt is the first of her sex to take hold of that class of work for the city and she appears to be giving first class satisfaction. It may be something new to see a girl at a tracing bench in an engineers once in Waterbury. but 1t is quite common in other places and no doubt 1t will soon he so here. The demand for men on outside work makes it hard to get enough of them for offices and as consequence girls have taken m the business and are making good money at 1t.

FIRE THIS MORNING
Bremen Called Out 10 a Bank
 Street Shoe Store.

Shortly before 8 o'clock this norn- ing fire was discovered In the shoe store of Y. W. Fitzmaurice, in the O'Connor block. 117 and 110 Bank street. An alarm was sent in from box Il, corner of Bank and Grand street and the Leaycnworth street, Burton street and Scovill street houses responded. The trouble was in the cellar and the volumes of smoke were so dense 1t was out of the question to do anything. The situa- tion was serious and there was no time to be lost if big confagration was to be averted, consequently mon were put to work making holes in tho flooring, through which water was ponrned into the cellar and provision was made to deluge the store proper through the skylight in case It should be found necessary. In addition to this two lines of hose were carried to the scene of the trouble through the store of Zlglatzki-AIarks on South Main street. The fire worked it's way from the cellar inside the partition wall of the store and the main en- trance and was making its way to the second story when it was headed off by the plaster and turning on of the hose. Some excitement was caused by q rumor to the effect that Dr AIoy- CT whose offices and residence are on the second floor had not been able to get out and was suffocating inside, but after Il little investigation it was learned tl.at the doctor caught on ear ly and skipped ont on time, but in or der to do this he had 10 go without completing his toilet. A big crowd collected about the place and watched the operations of the firemen.
 After the smoke had cleared away and every spark of lire had been ex- tnguished. Chief Snagg said that he thought the damage to the building would not exceed $500 and that the damage to the stock was very slight. He believes that the fire started in box filled with paper which stood near the stairway in the cellar and from this spread to q pile of "emptlcs
 nearby. Walter Fitzmaurice opened the store shortly before 5 o'clock, he went into the cellar and fixed the damper of the furnace and then came up stairs and sat down to look over paper. X minute or two later he; noticed the smoke and promptly gave the alarm. The furnace is in the east side of the cellar and had no connec- tion with the fire. but cluster of electric wires pass through the wall where the blaze was located and in the opinion of some these were the source of the trouble. Mir Fitzmau- rice and his clerks with the assistance of the firemen soon cleared the store of the debris and in n couple of hours one would scarcely think that 1t was the same place they had looked at earlier in the morning. There was no damage on the second floor. except the bursting of the water tank. There was no damage on the third floor.

SHORT OF CASH
Bar Association Sorry They
 Went tO The Elton.

The Waterbury Bar association
 appears to be financially embarrassed
 for means with which to pay the bill for dining and entertaining the committee that looked over the court house last Saturday, for it was the principal matter that was dis- cussed at the meeting held this
 morning. It was voted that Treas
 urer N. R. Bronson pay the bill
 which amounts to $52.s5, but MT
 Bronson stated there is not sufficient
 money in the treasury to pay that amount. Notwithstanding this, the
 motion to have MT Bronson foot the bill was still, carried. But this did not solve MT Bronson's financial pug Izle.
 Well" said Judge Cowell, ''''it
 would have been an easy matter for us to take the committee to the Lenox and give the members a dish of beans that would cost us only five cents leach. I'm the landlord of that place and probably could get a lower rate lthan that. But we took the com- mittee instead of to the LenOx, to The Elton where it cost $2 a dinner. II don't think any of Us went on tear or spree, though l think l did see Colonel Burpee hike of to the lrathskeller down stairs with few friends. don't know what they had there, whether it was schooner of beer Or a cocktail, though I'm in- lclined to think it was a cocktail. Tt was cocktail, if your honor please, whiskey cocktails said q
 voice in the rear of the room. And they were good ones, too, but Colonel
 Burpee set 'em up. and paid for them lout of his own pocket"
 Well that's so much we won't
 have to pay for" remarked another
 voice also in the rear.
 ''I recall the only banquet the bar
 has had" went on his honor. One
 or two guests had wine and the
 rest of us had to get along with a
 bottle of Palida beer and oyster
 cocktails"
 "Palida lager, if your honor please" remarked the first voice. I Whats the difference between lager and beer?" asked his honor. "The morning after" answered the same voice. and somebody laughed, supposing this to be joke. Attorneys Rogers and Guilfoile llaughingly requested that the com- mittee that had charge of the enter ltaining of the visitors from Hartford Isend in an itemized account and Att torneys Bronson and Byrne offered to chip in right there.
 Well" said Judge Cowell, "I haven't got any money with me, but I'm willing to sell COW or the elephant on my farm"
 Attorney John P. Kellogg moved that the bill be paid, presumably forgetting that it had already been voted to pay the bill.
 Mir Kellogg said he would chip lin. or do whatever was necessary, and after it. was thoroughly under Istood that Treasurer Bronson must pay the bill somehow, the meeting adjourned.

 The Town Plot Improvement so- ciety is the first organization to come out openly and declare that it will use its influence to have w. E. Thoms again elected mayor. Although it is as yet somewhat early to begin the action of the Town Plotters at their meeting last evening makes it plain that the members of the society on the hill are we'll satis- fled with the present administration and will use every effort to have the democratic party stay in power. It Is the first time in years that the Town Plot people have been con- tented and are willing to leave well enough alone. The past few years the members of the Town Plot body were much displeased because of the manner in which they were used by both republicans and democrats, and they made complaint after complaint, but little attention was paid to their requests for Improvements. But un- der the Thoms regime so many of the petitions of the Town Plot and Brook lyn people have, in the opinion of the residents of the former section, been granted that the taxpayers on the hill thing that for the past two years at least they have received their share of the good things.
 In voting to play a benefit game for Thomas Bockwitch, a member of the South End Polo team, who is suffering from blood poisoning, the managers of the Amateur league last evening did very commendable act It is now up to the public to be on hand to make the benefit a success. Although Bockwitch is improving each day, it will be some time be- fore he will be again able to work. The swelling of his leg has almost disappeared and the pain of the in- jured member is not nearly as keen at is was. Bockwitch was member of the football team. which last sea- son went under the name of the Cadets, and played with Joe Wallace when the latter had his collarbone broken on Thanksgiving day. A raffie was started to raise money to defray Wallace's expenses, but he hardly received enough money to pay for one visit to the doctor. But the managers of the Shop league will in all probability hustle in order to make enough at least to meet the Brooklynite' expenses.

ON TO PENDLETON.

While the Walla Walla interurban
electric company is not making any
noise about 1t, yet it is known that a
line is being surveyed from Milton and
Freewater west, toward Weston, with
Pendleton as the ultimate point in
view.
Any one who will stop to consider
the subject will see in an instant that
the line will not stop permanently at
Milton and Freewater, nor at Weston
OF Athena. The small area Of country
now accommodated by the interurban
ls not sufficient to justify it to main
tain its present service and so it must
reach out for new territory, new re-
sources and the only logical direction
in which it can and will be extended
Is toward Pendleton.
The construction Of that line into
this city some time, is assured. 1t
may be that the extension will be slow,
but that depends solely upon the
MOVE WHICH PENDLETON
MAKES TO SECURE THE LINE.
She can have It within a short time
by going after it, or she can wait until
It gets ready to come, later.

SUPERSTITION.

The Nautilus for November contains
the following little essay on supersti-
tion:
The history of superstitions in all
climes is fascinating. The negro has
his rabbits foot, the Indian his Swas-
tika, the Yogi his sacred disk, the
Catholic his medals and relics, and the
Hebrew his parchment scroll from
Deuteronomy, to hang beside the door.
The italian has a tiny coral hand to
avert the evil eye, the Egyptian, his
scarab, and so on.
Things owned by suicides are lucky
because they bring the luck which the
dead did not live to enjoy. ! lady
who had been in love for IS years
with a wealthy bachelor, bought dia-
mond pin for s., which belonged to
woman tired of life.
Immediately the man asked her to
set the day. This woman was hand
some, clever and amiable and had
prayed in vain. It may be added,
however, that the match has not been
a happy one.
Burglars, gamblers and others have
enormous faith in a relic of suicide,
a murderer or a man hanged. A bit
of rope or hair is priced. The ele-
CANT Franzini, who loved and killed
several French women, had his skin
made into pocketbooks. Maybe, be-
cause it takes great courage to do
great wrong, and courage is the most
potent mascot in the world.
Men and women who live dishonest
ly can hardly pray for success for the
Almighty does not admire their meth
DDS, so it follows, superstition must
be their mainstay.

ROOSEVELT SAYS
TURN ON THE LIGHT.

While the financial furry Is on in
Roosevelt at Nashville, Tenn, this
week, on the evil doing of the specu-
lator and the wild cat bankers of the
east is especially fitting. The presi-
dent said:
There has been trouble in the stock
during the past few months. The
statement has frequently been made
that the policies for which l stand,
legislative and executive, are respon-
sible for that trouble. Now. these
policies OF mine can be summed up
in one brief sentence: They repre-
sent the effort to punish successful
dishonesty. l doubt If these policies
have had any material effect in
bringing about the present trouble,
but II they have it will not alter
in the slightest degree my determina-
ton that for the remaining 16 months
of my term my policies shall be per-
severed in unswervingly.
II to arouse that type Of civil man
hood in our nation, 1t were necessary
to suffer any temporary commercial
depression, l should consider the cost
but small. All we have done has been
to unearth the wrong doing. 1t was
not the fact that it was unearthed
that did the damage.
All did was to turn on the light
but l am not responsible for what the
light showed. 1t is impossible to cut
out a cancer without making the pa
tient feel for few days rather sicker
than he felt before. No material WELL
being can save this nation II it loses
the lift toward higher things.
I will permit neither the dema-
gogue upon one side nor the reac-
tionary on the other to drive me away
from the course or policy which l re-
gard most vital for the wellbeing OF
the nation. And the thing most I'M
portant to remember is that that pol
icv has two sides. 1t would indeed
be an evil for this nation If we ever
permitted to grow up a spirit when
