CITY NEWS.

 The new street sign on the corner of Bishop street and North square was torn down yesterday by pass ing furniture wagon. There was an opening in the street and the wagon had room to pass through only by hugging the curb stone. This brought it against the sign and down came the latter with chatter.
 Patrick Biancc, youth aged 5, residing on Bank street swallowed small dose of carbolic acid yester- day afternoon. He picked up the bottle which was on a table in his home and swallowed the acid before his mother was aware of it. The child was quickly taken to the office of Dr Russell and within short time was brought out of danger.

MRS BELDEN'S SUIT
Places $3,O0O Attachment on
 Husbands Properly.

| A certificate of attachment filed 1T the town clerks office to-day by Con
 stable Lunny tells story of domestic
 unhappiness of Charles G. Belden
 the tailor, and his wife, Aida B
 Belden. The certificate was issued
 by Attorney Kennedy and shows that
 Mrs Belden has attached her hus- bands property to the amount of $3,- 900 and brought suit against him for maintenance and support.
 In the suit she claims she was mar ried to MT Belden in New York city on Nov. 5, 1903, and that they i'm mediately returned to Waterbury and set up housekeeping. She fur ther claims that her husband has abundance from which he could easily give her a little, but that he has refused to do so and she is un- able to do anything for herself. An other allegation is that on July ? he advertised her among the storekeep- CTS thus injuring her credit
 From personal statements by Mrs Belden 1t is quite evident that her domestic affairs have been topsy turvy for some time. She said her husband had no cause to advertise her for she never ran him one dol- lar in debt. Before they married he lived in house of five rooms, now they live in house of twelve rooms, or rather did live there until this morning when Mrs Belden quit. She said her husband preferred the so- ciety of his relations to that of her. self and that he permitted them to scoff and jeer at her. The house, ac- cording to her view, is worth at least $6,000 and he has an equity of $1,500 in it. The suit is made re- turnable to the superior court, Oc- tober term. .a.

 wood avenue. That ought to be fix ed and it will be # the powers that be should decide to render the ser l vice.
 MT Filling said :o-day that this whole matter is in the hands of the postoffice authorities at Washington and he didn't care to express an opin- ion on 1t except that he should be pleased to see the petition granted and provision made to carry 1t into effect. He noticed that the houses are not numbered and that many of them set back long distances from the street, thus increasing the labor Of delivery. Theer are petitions for the service in other places, but the chance of favorable action is not bright.
 When George Lilley comes home to see his neighbors once in a while and everybody likes to meet him, for ne IS a nice man--he talks about navy yards in Charleston, canals still farther distant, but never a word about things that enter into the daily lives of his neighbors The postoffice of Waterbury pays the gov ernment $60,000 or $70,OOO a year over and above expenses, and yet thousands never saw postman at their door. We are told that the money raised here goes to help out Tn places that are not self-supporting That would be all right if Water bury had the service it needs under existing conditions it is rather rough upon those who have to tramp to the postoffice. building, just the same as when they we're little boys and girls. But what difference does that make so long as we can keep the grand old party in power. Never mind about your children, think of the other fellows and be content so long as the latter are not neglected.

SPREAD OF TYPHOID.
State Board of Health Suggests Need
 of Watchfulness. 4

The report of the state board of health for the month of August con. tains note by the secretary, Dr l.. n. townsend, regarding typhoid few CT and the possibility of its spread through persons who carry the bacilli without any apparent inconvenience to themselves. Dr Townsend writes.
 Health officers in investigating the cause of typhoid fever have a new problem to consider, in the chronic bacillus carrier, which has hitherto been unrecognized and which 1t is well to bear in mind.
 It has become known. chiefly through the studies of some German investigators that the typhoid fever ! bacillus may persist in the human body Tor some time after an attack of typhoid fever. Cases have been reported where the patients have been carriers of the disease for years without suffering any inconvenience themselves. Kutscher thinks that about four per cent of typhoid pa- tlents become chronic carriers of the specific bacilli which they excrete in both urine and faeces for long per- iods, and cases have been cited in which the specific bacilli were isolated from the gall bladder seventeen and even twenty years after recovery. Ap- parently healthy people have been found who have never had typhoid fever, but yet are the carriers of bacilli, which may be given off from time to time to infect susceptible per- sons-this tolerance being possibly acquired by repeated invasions of at- tenuated or mild bacilli. All mem- bers Of family may acquire this tolerance if their water supply is af- fected and be carriers whiIe a visitor not being immune may acquire the disease.
 "Soper of New York reports a case which has been described in the pub lie press as a typhoid factory This was a woman who had had typhoid fever about six years prior to her dis covery. Since that time she had work. ed as a cook In several families. and twenty-eight cases of typhoid occurred in the families in which she worked. The evidence against her seemed so strong that she was for
  cibly removed to hospital. where an confirmed the suspicion that she was typhoid carrier"
 The returns from the various towns in the state show the usual autumnal increase of this disease. as 231 cases are reported from forty six towns. the towns having the lar gest number of cases being Ansouta 30, Hartford 23. New Haven 4T. IF. and Manchester g.
 The death rate for the month. with three towns missing, is POT, the total number of deaths being 1.756. The number was 240 more than in Univ and 32o more than the average num- Der of deaths for August during the past five years. The highest death- rate was in the town of Enfield. sT7 per 1000. and the lowest from Wal ingford. 11-2- The births in inc month of July were 2.1Os and the numbered ssI-

Athletics Old and New.
from the North American Review.


There still stands In a corner of the Har-
ward University grounds a small. low. old
fashioned brick dwelling. offering in its
proportions striking contrast to the build
ings Of today. 1t was the first gymnasium
erected for the use of Harvard students.
In 1t those who aimed at increasing their
physical strength took as much pleasure in
noting their improvement every week as
does the foot ball player of today in his
contests; This continual gain, coupled with
the real pleasures of physical activity,
which perhaps many experienced there for
the first time. was the sufficient motive
to gain the full measure of physical en-
ergy attainable by the constitution of each
individual student
We never know how interesting the sim
plest exercise may be unless we have had
the experience. In the light of a modern
athletic contest the interest taken by the
students of forty years ago in their exer-
cises may seem quite childish. Who but a
child could be amused, as students then
were. by seeing his fellows lean backward
and walk under barrier slowly lowered
day by day until 1t was little more than
knee high? The youth who looking
forward to increasing the weight of his
dumbbells from sixty to eighty pounds who
could walk to the end Of vibrating spar
without falling and who was hoping soon
to be able to mount the peg-Studded pole
while hanging by his hands, all were in
terested by the sight Of what the others
could do In these various lines.
1t cannot be denied that all gained the
greatest of the benefits that come from
physical exercise: and If we would secure
the same advantage to our children can
DO it by melting them to action on similar
lines Instead of each trying to excel his
fellows. which he knows is vain unless he is
one Of the strongest of the class, each
person must try to be stronger today than
he was yesterday. Even If we cannot move
every one by this motive we shall GER
tainly move more than we do under our
present system.

Giving Away Young Trees.
rom Arboriculture.


About ten years ago 1 was in Virginia
during the gathering season. Barrels
were scarce In the region. every cooper shop
and every cooper was working night and
day to supply the demand for barrels.
while men were securing the mountains for
hickory poles with which to make hoops
Nearly all these barrels were then hooped
with hickory poles.
Commission men buying apples sent to
other states and barrels were hurried into
the apple region In vast numbers. / saw
an entire train of forty cars arrive upon
one occasion which was entirely laden with
hickory-hooped slack barrels-320 bar
res to each car. and ten hoops on every
barrel. Here at one time were seen T. 800
barrels, for which there had been sacrificed
u, 900 living hickory trees
In a few years time these trees would
have been capable OF supplying 2J.00O.oJO
carriage spokes, the price of which now,
$50 a thousand would realize $4,000

trees less than $500.

Mr.. Cassatt's Good Temper.

The late A. j. CaSsatt. president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company used to
pride himself on never losing his temper,
no matter what the provocation. At the
same time he showed consideration for
others less favored in the matter of
eouilibrium~ On one occasion he was on
a Pennsylvania train which stopped owing
to some tritting mishap. Mr.. Cassatt
asked a brakeman some question regard
ing the stoppage, and the man, not know
ing the passenger replied in sulphurous
language consigning Mr.. Cassatt to hot
quarters and telling him to mind his own
business. The president related the cir
cumstance to the superintendent of that
division and added: Just call that man
into your office and tell him he cussed the
president and that hereafter he should be
more polite to passengers"
