URGES MORE MONEY
FOR PARK POLICE
Colonel BromWell Submits
His Report to the War
Department.
Other Appropriations Asked
for improvement of
PlaZaS.

More money for the park police OF
the city, and for additional men on this
force. is one of the recommendations
contained in the annual report OF Col.
Charles H Bromwell. superintendent or
buildings and grounds, which has just
been submitted to the War Department
In referring to the park policemen
Colonel Bromwell states that they are
perhaps the lowest paid policemen in the
United States, yet their duties are al
most as exacting as the Metropolitan
police who are stationed at street cross
ings. II Is not an easy task 10 pre-
serve good order In the parks at all
times. particularly at night, and an
important duty Of the policemen Is 10
maintain protecting eye over the thou-
sands of children that play in the parks
Three grades are suggested Tor these
policemen, those who have served less
than three years 20 receive $40. those
who have served more than three years
TO receive $500. and those who have
served more than five years to receive
81 900 per annum. The pay at present
IS so per month for each. Colonel Brom-
we'll would have these men called park
policemen instead of park watchmsn.
The sum of s. 900 Is desired for estab-
fishing and maintaining children play
grounds on public reservations; the sun
OF 81 600 instead OF $1,000 IS asked lQI

CITY WATER SUPPLY
SHOWS A DECREASE
Daily Consumption Is Total
of 100000 Gal
Ions.
Meters May Be Installed
and Charge Made by
Unit.

Mss. Spencer Cosby. Corps of Engi-
neers. u. s. A.. In charge of the ,;ity's
water supply under the operations Of
the War Department. in his annual re-
port submitted TO General Mckenzie.
chief OF engineers. yesterday, shows that
The daily consumption and waste of
water In the city is 6s.s0o,o00 gallons.
The report for the period of 1906 made
the statement that the capacity OF the
supply could not exceed 65.000.0O0 gal
Ions. The average daily supply con-
sumed and wasted for the year covered
by the report shows thae over 10000
gallons of water in excess of those fig
ures have been supplied daily.
Major Cosby notes the fact that there
has been a small decrease in the daily
amount of water used, which he at
tributes to the efforts OF the Commits
sioners to cut down the great waste OF
water all over the city in every line
OF consumption. II is shown by the re-
port that during the past year 203 gal
Ions has been the daily figures per
capita. which Major Cosby thinks
should be reduced TO 40 gallons for all
purposes. February Is. 1907. was the
banner consumption day. when 900
gallons Of water were required to sup
ply the city
Installation of Meters.
The report suggests for the reduction
of the unnecessary waste and control
OF the distribution of water that meters
be installed and the water supply
charged for at so much per gallon. II
IS believed with this regulation on the
water supply the cost Of water to con-
sumers could be materially reduced.
Only IL per cent OF the service Is now
under the meter regulation. Major
Cosby thinks it should be metered.
1t is suggested that $4,000 he provided
for preliminary Investigations and sur
vey for an Independent water supply
from new sources not now used. For
the purpose OF making It possible to
deliver the 100000 gallons of water
daily, the full capacity OF the plant, II
IS suggested that one or more booster
pumps be installed to increase the flow
IN the channel. The need Of this full
capacity of the waterworl1s would not be
needed at any time only under emerg-
ency conditions not likely to arise.

were seven entombed miners and a
 boy in his rescue case.
 l MT. Evans at the time was engineer for the Cymmer Steam Coal company of Wales, and was engaged in equip, ping one ef the deepest and largest mines of that country. On an adja- cent property some miners had been engaged in an attempt to reach a vein cf coal in an abandoned mine by tun- 1 nelling from a nearby shaft When the tunnelling reached the abandoned 1 mine flood of water burst in from the latter, and the men were nearly drowned.
 It was impossible for them to get back to their starting point, so they took refuge in a heading leading from the tunnel The water followed them in, but was halted by the pressure of air There they were hemmed in by the wall of water
 The rise of water in the shaft gave the alarm to those on the outside, and ba nasty conference of the men in charge of the various mines in the To- cality was called. They, familiar with the conditions in the mine, figured it out that the miners had taken refuge in the heading and that the air pres sure had saved them from drowning, and MT. Evans was placed in charge of the rescue work.
 He had a difficult problem to solve The first thing he did was to borrow six locomotives fo a nearby railroad and put them to work pumping out the water. But, after this had proceeded to certain point, he realized that to pump further would open an escape for the air and the water would rush in and drown the imprisoned men. b it became necessary to change his tactics.
 He decided to drive in new heading to reach the men. In this heading doors were placed every three feet to hold the air pressure. and as the work got closer to the men the dc2rs were placed every two feet Finally a tap was heardbE the rescuers, and this gave notice that some at least of the imprisoned men were still alive, just as the tapping told the people at the Edi- son mine that Hicks was living there.
 Then the rescue work went on with greater confidence. As in Hicks case, a small pipe was driven ahead into the chamber where the men were en- tombed, and oatmeal and milk was forced through to feed them, When the new heading finally was dug out to the men the boy, eager to escape, started for the opening. The air pres sure damned his head through the hole and he was strangled to death. All the men escaped, however, but they were such skeletons that it was deemed dangerous to remove them at once. That they had lived at all was ascribed to the theory that, in an at- mosphere pf compressed air vitality will last longer.
 All Great Britain was intensely in- terested in the work of rescue. Queen Victoria sent Florence Nightingale to aid the miners, and she went down into the heading with food and medi- cine Mir. Evans went five days and nights without sleep in directing this work. and, his ef11rts were praised by the whole nation, from the Queen down. Baltimore Sun.

which chlorof0rm can be administered to an animal on this table has dissipa- ted the objections to its use in veteri- nary practice. All llvers of animals who desire to see their sufferings miti- gated will look upon this invention with much favor.
 It is common to treat the horse with some opiate before placing it in or on the table to guard against it's strug- gling The horse is led to the side of the table, one side of which has been removed. It is @ very simple matter to back the horse into the cantrivance, which is similar to putting him into the shafts of an ordinary wagon.
 Once in position the side bar is quickly adjusted and the h9rse made a prisoner. A stout band of canvas is passed under the horse and it's legs and feet fastened. The feet are secured by chains which hold them in a perfectly natural position, so that the horse makes no resistance. It is but the work of a few seconds, and the straps and bands are secure. At a signal an attendant turns 8 small wheel to one side and the horse is instantly swung off it's feet, but in such a position that it can make no resistance. From this time on the animal is under perfect and absolute control A turn of anoth- CT wheel and the great body is swung from side to side and it's position even completely reversed with perfect ease.

A BICENTENNIAL IDEA.

With the Bicentennial five months away, ami the Indications such as make certain the largest gathering in New Milford's two hundred years of
 history, it is pleasant to note great in- terest in the celebration among young people of the whole town and dispo- sition to cooperate in making it a memorable success. The interest has
 just been strikingly brought to our mo- tioe by the information that some of the progressive young men are contem- plating the organization of military company in New Milford to help along the festivities. The plan Is to enlist the membership of thirty or more young men twenty or twenty-five years old, living in the village or within ss few miles who will give their time and best efforts for drilling, purchase their own uniforms and accoutrements and offer their services to the Bicentennial committee for the celebration, Should the idea be endorsed by the committee, the ranks of the new company will be filled and officers elected in the near future, to be ready to begin drilling as soon as spring arrives. The projectors of the company are in earnest, and there seems to be no reason why such an organization should not meet with approval. The presence of a local mill itary company would certainly add much to the celebration. Moreover, the company's personnel, being composed of some of the best young men in town, would attract to the organization great popularity, and stimulate new in- terest in the old towns two hundredth birthday party, ensuring to the old home gathering especial attractiveness.
 A military drill by local men adds eclat to any popular gathering, and as a feature of our celebration next June it would doubtless add to the pleasure of every one concerned, but the hene- fits would not stop there. Parades and meetings are only incidents of the Bi- centennial, if it is to bring the perma- nent benefits to the town that are hoped for Permanent benefit is to be looked for from indfiuing industrial en- terprises to locate here, giving employ lnent to more wage -earners, increasing the assessed valuation and causing the population to become greater. The strangers who come here to the Bicen- tennial must be entertained, must be shown the natural attractions and practical advantages of the town, though mayhap they miss some part of the programme. The members of the new company would be well qualified to act as guides for visitors, showing the factory sites, the localities for res idences and the water powers, and doubtless their efforts would bring benefit to the town not obtainable oth, erwise.

HANDWRITING OF AUTHORS.

Charlotte Bronte's handwriting seemed to have been traced with a needle and the penmanship of Bryant was aggressive, well formed and deci- dedly pleasing to the eye. Thackeray's s writing was maryellously neat and precise, but it was so small that mil croscopic eyes were needed to read it. Longfellow wrote a bold, open back hand, which was the delight of prin- ters Joaquin Miller writes such bad hand that he often becomes puzzled l1ver his own work The handwriting of Captain Marryat was so microscopy ic that when he rested from his labors he was obliged to mark the place where he left off by sticking pin in the paper Napoleon's handwriting was worse than illegible. It is said that his letters from Germany to the Empress Josephine were at first taken ilr rough maps of the seat of war. Much of Carlyle's temperament may be read in his handwriting. He wrote a hand. The chirography of Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore and Gray was easy to read, and ran smoothly. It was not expressive of any especial individuality, however. The writing of Dickens was minute, and the authors habit of writing with blue ink upon blue paper, with frequent ensures and interlineations made his copy a burden to his publishers. Byron's handwriting was a mere scrawl. His additions to his proofs often exceeded in volume the original copy. To one nf his poems which contained only four hundred lines in the original, one thousand lines were added in the proof.-Dundee Ad- Yertiser.
