 for a Week.

Business was light in the city court to-day. Patrick Guilfoile was fined $10 and costs for intoxication.
 Mrs Emily Banaker of Hill street was charged with intoxication.

REGULATE THEIR RENT.
Say They'll Strike if Landlords Don't Submit.

Hartford, Nov 23.-Rumors of a novel strike are being spread in the south end of the city. and if the plans of some of the tenants in that section who planning the strike cul- minate, there will be something in- teresting about December 1. The conspiracy is said to be matching in a six family block, and every family in it is affected by the present scarcity of work and the scarcity of currency, so the heads of the six families have devised a cooperative scheme where by they hope to make the landlord share the hard times with them. This is the scheme:
 The tenements on the first and second floors of the block are renting for SIS, and the two tenements on the top floor are netting s17 for the landlord at present. but the tenants have had their heads together sev- era1 times and have agreed to reduce their own rent. If the landlord will not accept their uitimatum, they will strike. The families on the first two floors on December 1. instead of pay ing the usual SIS, intend to make the landlord a present of SIS, while the families above them will give him only SIS each If he does not like it they will move.
 They have reached the conclusion. after several deliberations, that it is not only hard time 10 pay rent, but also hard time to rent tenement, and that the IaRdl0zsl will aglee to the reduction ra-her than have six made idle at this time of
 year.

HISTORY OF QUEENS COUNTY.
Begun By Canon 0'Hanlon Who Died r.. in Midst of His Labors.

A large number of the first volume of the History of Queens county Ireland, by Rev John Canon OHan- lon and the Rev Edward O'Leary, the former for many years pastor or St Mary's Star of the Sea parish, Sandy hurst, Dublin, and the latter rector of St MichaeIs church, Portarling- ton, arrived here by mail this week. It is a good sized book, neatly bound and printed on first quality paper. It. was published by the old reliable firm of Sealy, Bryers x Walker, Mid de Abbey street, Dublin. The volume treats of that district of Ireland from the earliest ages to 1856 when the ancient names of LeiX and Offaly were relegated to the grave of ob- livion, so far as an act of parliament could go in that direction, and prac- tically all the territory included in these places designated as King and Queens counties. The book occupied a good share of the life work of Canon O'Hanlon, but unfortunately he was not destined to see the con- pletion of his labor and on his death bed he commissioned Father O'Leary to take it up where he had laid it down. The result shows the wisdom of his selection.
 In addition to vast amount of in- teresting reading matter, the book contains a number of beautiful il- lustrat tions including the following: The River Nore at Durrow. rock of Dunamase, druid's altar, tomb of the O'Moores at Abbeyleix, churches, ab- beys and castles at Aghaboe; Agma- cart and Kilmainam priories, the fort at Maryborough, Ballyadam's church St Fintan's well at Clonenagh, Fossy and Timahoe churches. with the round tower contiguous to the latter building, the chapels at Dysart Enos and Dysart Gallen, Coolbanagher. Curradone and Cloydagh churches. Lea church and abbey, Killeny, Xiii teel, Kilmurray. Aries, Lisdowney. Killeshin, Tecolm and Cloopook churches. These and a dozen or more cuts of a similar character. with views of ancient cemeteries, de- scriptions of mountains, rivers and . taxes, manners ana cuStOllS Ol lut early inhabitants. legends of ye olden time, sketch of the bird family, geol- ogy, with maps. and so forth, make up a book which will be read with much pleasure. and profit; too, by lov- CTS of literature the world over, and especially by those who first saw the light of day amid the scenes treated by the gifted authors.
 In looking through the work one cannot help noticing the statement that in 1881 Aghaboe had popula- ton of nearly 2.000 souls. To-day there are not half dozen houses ir what was formerly the center of the town, and there is scarcely enough left of the massive houses of worship and seats of learning that once stood, to give one an idea of their former splendor. all of which emphasizes the truth of Goldsmith's lines:
 "Ill fares the land to hastening ills
 prey,
 Where wealth accumulates
 And men decay"
 The second and concluding volume of the work will appear shortly and will be even more interesting than the one already on hand.

 A visitor to this country who hap pened to be in New Haven on the day
 of the big football game would have something to talk about when he
 went home. To see the mass of hu- manity that starts shortly after 12 o'clock for the grounds, to say noth- ing of all that has been going on the few hours previous. And then the manner in which the grounds are reached; some on the cars, others in hacks, few on express wagons fitted out for the occasion, many ln their big touring cars, and thousands after thousands walking. Then the game itself, the crowd there and the return trip, followed by the lively night ill New Haven. It is certain to leave an impression and make visitor real
 ize that the big game in this country is rather notable event: If he were at Cambridge the week following he would most certainly be convinced.
 The swinging door in the postoffice is becoming a great playground for small boys and girls. It is their glory to pretend to be in an awful hurry to get out as they see some one ape preaching the door. Roguishly they look at the person approaching and the smile of innocent and guileless youth lights up their faces as the person takes his position in the door and gives it a push forward. Around 1t goes and when it is in full swing the small boys give jump and seat themselves on the crossbar connect ing the doors. And around they go with the momentum. of the push given by the person behind them, and around they go again and again as long as there is person willing to give the door a push for them. It is great sport for the boys, and some of the girls, and nobody has so far registered kick. The fun hurts mo- body, and if in the course of time a door becomes unhinged, Uncle Sam is rich enough to stand for it. But it is all right so far, for smile from one of those small boys would disarm the most peevish tempera- ment.
 Speaking of water, its storage and reservoirs generally, here is bit of news that may be interesting to those who are seeking information on this question in Waterbury,: The main reservoir of the Varty waterworks at Roundwood, County Wicklow, Ireland, covers 400 acres, at an elevation of 700 feet, and presents the appearance of a mountain lake. The public road passes over the great embankment, which is 1,600 feet long, 400 feet wide at the base, decreasing to thirty at the top. A Ly-wash at this end carries off the water when it rises above seventy feet deep. The sup ply passes through tunnel over two miles long to a receiving tank at Callagh Hill. From here 1t passes by pipes Cover twenty-four miles in alb to tanks at the Glen of the Glen of the Downs, Kilcroney. and Rathmichael, and to the two reser- voirs at Stillorgan, which covers twenty-siX acres. Besides Dublin, Bray, Kingstown and other town ships are supplied from the Round wood reservoir, which is estimated to hold 200 days supply at 12,- 000,000 gallons day. The water is delightfully."- sof:.

Mrs D. L. Smith, who died last night at her home on North Willow street, was a type of woman that ap- pears to be passing away very rapid ly. She didn't like to see men over worked and never could stand by and hear a boss scold a laborer. To use a common expression she was ever on the alert on behalf of the under dog and in her own quiet, unobtrusive way, did a good deal for the poor of Waterbury. To illustrate her real character man still in the employ of the Waterbury Buckle Co relates the following incident which occur red when the Smiths lived on Liberty street, next the Way block. now oc- cupied by the Sisters of the Holy Ghost Mrs Smiths husband, who was superintendent of the factory. sent him up to the house to clean up the yard and garden and perform such other chores as needed attention about the place. It was summer time and the weather was very warm. Not being accustomed to that kind of work it came rather hard to him and noticing Mrs Smith watching him through the window nearly all the time. he was afraid to look one way or the other and kept delving away until finally he heard somebody call him and on looking around he saw Mrs Smith on the porch of the rear veranda with a pitcher in her hand. Calling the man by name she han(!Agi him the vessel, which was filled with ice cool lemonade, told him to sit down in the shade and have rest, adding that he wasn't up there to kill himself On another occasion. when Waterbury had superintendent of streets who was very abusive to those under his charge and was giving the boys a lecture, Mrs Smith happened along, and after listening to the ti- rade she went direct to the mayor and entered a complaint against the super. But this was long ago and Mrs Smith has been an invalid and confined to her home for so many years that those who knew her when she was bright, cheerful, handsome, and to all appearances, robust wo- man, will be somewhat surprised to hear of her death at this time, for to folks not close to her she has been but a memory for over quarter of a century.
