day at $3.50, an advance of three cents

port the condition of winter wheat in

ening. Later when the report was con-
Sidered as whole and il was seen that

prominent Wall street traders were large
~ interested in the purchases. Prices
rose rapidly until July touched SS44c.

mission houses. The tone was firm al
day. July oats opened a shade lower tC
a shade higher at 43isG43L, advanced to
43s4 and closed at 43Iad43ss

THAT COAL CARGO
Board of Charities WrestleS With Subiect-N0ne in Democrat Bin.

5 VI
 The department of charities held meeting last night. Commissioner Wolff presided.
 Proposals for furnishing bread and meat for the Brookside home for the next half year were opened and read. D. J. McGrath was the only bidder for the meat supply. His prices average about half cent per pound over that of the previous six months. The board thought it pretty good, however, and it was ac- cepted John O'Brien was the sole competitor for breadstuffs. His price was $3 per hundred, slight increase over the old figures. It was accepted. No bid was submitted for fish.
 The clerk was instructed to notify Comptroller Russell that the coal now on the cars at the Brookside home is not satisfactory Some time ago Superintendent Brennan was asked to try it and report what lie thought of it. He did so and in a communication to the board last night the superintendent stated that it burns too quickly. It was stated that the agent. MT Conway, had given ton of the coal to each of the papers to give them a chance to try 1t and see for themselves whether it was what he represented it to be or not, and that some was to be de- livered to the commissioners for the same purpose, but it would appear from what the members said that none of it had been placed in their bins, neither was any of the output delivered to the Democrat.

THE PUBLIC BE JAMMED.

That's what the trolley corpora tion seems to say to patrons on the Baldwin street line. If you doubt us just watch the Baldwin street car leave Center square during rush hour and see how they jam tie whole crowd into one car and have an empty car standing at the green and send the other empties back to the car barns. We, of course, don't un- derstand why they do business this way, and it really doesn't concern us But 1t will be too late to change the program, when some one loses their life or limb. The writer saw the car las- Saturday noon leave Center square and there wasn't even hanging on" room unless you'd hang on to the wheels, and car lying idle standing at tine green. But 1t does seem to us whoever has the sending out of the cars tioesn't Grink our buttermilk or our nice tasting tea or coffee Ii they did they'd have more humTlisy in thair make up. Surely 'he franchise must say in some part of it that the public will be carried with comfort and safety. However, if the public must be damned in this manner they must look out for their comfort when they arrive home, and you can take the writer's word for it that cup of nice tea or coffee made properly will be the most soothing drink; but be sure and have the kind we sell. This week paper rack with a pound of Soc tea at

Henry Hall of Mill Plain mention ed a matter at the meeting of the board of public works last night that has caused a good deal of confusion in different parts of Waterbury and it will continue 10 work mischief un- til the last tract of land in town Is laid out. Mr Hall talked of the busi- ness of moving fences abutting on old highways from time to time until finally greedy folks get considerable land that don't belong to them. Things stand that way for a genera ton and then when it comes to lay ing out streets and establishing build ing lines all the old land marks have been wiped out and the new ones are taken for the regular boundary lines In this way great hardships are ire quently wrought upon unsuspectIng people The man was right. but the trouble is how 10 apply the remedy Of course it is the duty of the super intendent of streets 10 see that no- body eneroaehes upon the public ways. but superintendents come and go and as result sharp fellows have ample opportunity to ply their game without detection so that the thing is likely to go on forever

Mayor Has Short Matinee.

His Honor. the Mayor, stepped into court this morning with lively gait, be- ing tr1e late, on account of having stayed too long in his office cogitating about what he would run for when he took up his abode on hs' Florida plan tation.
 The matinee this morning was one of the colored feminine kind mostly, with slight smattering of the male gender to make up.
 In the first case his honor was called on to umpire in a carving match, which was pulled off in a colored barber shop on Saturday night when one Walter Rol- lings, after having his face run over by Barber Slim, also colored to a high degree, tried to run his face for the necessary dime.
 Slim wasn't doing any credit business on Saturday nights, because henhad point to make and mildly expostulated in lam guage which 1t was said caused the air to assume an azure tint. Walter proved that his vocabulary wasn't lacking when it came to the real stuff and added gin ger to the argument with the aid of four inches of cold steel.
 Slim said that two could play at that game and then the band struck up the well known tune, There'll Be a Hot Time in The Old Town Tonight" and things began to sizzle.
 The mayor decided the matter this morning in favor of Slim, who on the outside of the bastile heard the trial of Walter who was begging for some one to raise the s27 50 which it will take to get him his liberty
 A, few buxom damsels tried to get the mayor to believe that they were out at midnight to get the right time, so they could put their clocks right, but his honor was skeptical and now they will listen for the tolling of the curfew and then retire.

ICED DRINKS
 DANGEROUS

Unless they contain a teaspoonful or Duffys Malt Whskey in each glass.
 The American people consume dur ing the hot weather very large quan- tity of iced drinks of various kinds and colors, and pay dearly for 1t with disordered stomachs that refuse to perform their work; bowel complaints, exhaustion, congestion, sunstroke and many other ills follow, and from these causes the loss of life is great Doctors say all danger can be prevented by the proper use of
