BEER IN SHOPS
Subject is Thoroughly Talked Up at Socialist Convention in
 Germany.

Essen, Germany, Sept. 21.-The temperance question was again dis cussed to-day at the socialist nation al convention in this city. Only one vote was cast against a resolution whose main feature was an expres- sion of opposition to the useof alco- hol in any form during working hours, thus setting the full strength of the socialist party against the Germany factory system of beer drinking at regular intervals throughout the day. The prevailing opinion among the delegates was that the intemperance of the labor ing classes will gradually cease with the betterment of their condition, the shortening of the hours of work and the abolition of night work.
 The Bergman Electrical works, which is owned by Americans and is situated in Berlin, was one of the first concerns in Germany to prevent it's employees from drinking beer dur ing working hours. This followed a long fight withthe employees some years ago and the result has been that the productof the works is in- creasing appreciably.

WHY COLBY KICKS
Wants Sidewalks, Sewers and Wafer at Once, Lei Others
 Wait For Them.

Charley Colley is out gunning for Mayor Thoms and he expects to bring him down. He talks like a man who thinks that a corporation with lots of money can get almost any, thing it pleases from MT Thoms, but if MT Colley would tell what he can prove instead of talking about what he only thinks he knows he would have different yarn to spin. Isn't it so MT Colley that you have been haunting Mayor Thoms and his board of public works for many moons to give you things you want and you would pay the bills provided the board would bind the city pay you back out of next years appropri- ation. Thereis nothing wrong about this so far as you are concerned, but its not fair to poor men and Mayor Thoms has done the right thing in putting his foot down upon the prac- tice. If water mains, sewers and other public work should be handled that way right along people of modest means never could get anything in that line, for the very good reason that there are men in Waterbury who have private property which they want improved and would cheer fully do it this year at their own ex- pense.
 Thoms went a short distance in that direction with Colley by letting him pay for a water main and get his money from the city later, and then instead of being satisfied he saw it was a good scheme and wanted to build a sidewalk on the same plan, but the mayor turned him down and gave him to understandthat he would have to take his turn the same as the humblest man inthe city. This hurt MT Colley's pride and naturally he doesn't think kindly of his honor. Colley masquerades about town like a man who regarded himself as para gon of virtue, and perhaps he is, but if he doesn't want to be dubbed as small enough to knock man because he tried to use him and couldn't he ought to tell the good side as we'll as the bad side of Thoms and give us a similar picture of Sewell so that all may have an opportunity to exercise his best judgment regarding the merits of the two men.
 A man with personal grudge, a ready pen and free access to the. columns of a paper is dangerous person in any community and nobody should take him seriously.

Two Arrests Made.

Patrick Scanlon and a young man named Kelly were arrested this after noon on suspicion of stealing three rugs from Miss Elizabeth O'Rourke of 61 Leavenworth street. The boys denied the charge. The woman hired the boys on day during the week to dust some rugs agreeing to give them so. It is claimed that five rugs were thrown out the window for the boys to dust, while they state that only two were to be dusted by them. At any rate only two rugs were re- turned. Scanlon was recently re- leased from the Connecticut state school for boys.

UNCLE SAW DUNNING JAMESTOWN
Assistant Secretary Edwards on to See
About Three Overdue Payments. =

WASHINGTON, Aug. iI.--John II. Edwards.
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury, is at
the jamestown Exposition to impress the
officials of the show with the necessity of
making payment at once to the Federal
Government on the loan Of 8 $1,000. 900 ad-
vanced in aid OF the exposition. The al
tentative OF having the Government take
charge and collect the gate receipts will be
presented to the exposition managers.
The first pa yment Of 10 per cent. of the
gross receipts was due July 1, but Secretary
Cortelyou extended the time for payment
until July 81. Other payments were TO be
made at the rate of 500. 900 every fifteen
days. beginning August 1. Not a single
dollar has been returned to the Government
so far.
Secretary Cortelyou was favorably inn
pressed with the exposition when he visited
it early in July and felt disposed to give the
management a fair opportunity TO make
good. IL was well understood that the
exposition was not ready to open on the date
orr ginally Axe in April and that il was SUBJ
jected to much financial embarrassment
thereby. The blame was not wholly due
to the management. for Congress held back
the bill giving the loan for several months
and during the period Of uncertainty work
on the buildings was practically suspended.
But money from the increased attendance
in July and August has not been applied
o n the loan by Congress.
The Federal authorities nave decided
not to permit the most profitable season Of
thes show TO slip by without seeing a material
reduction Of the debt due Uncle Sam.
