DELMAS IN NEW YORK.
Thaw's Former Counsel Returns from
 the Pacific Coast.

Dolphin M. Delmas, of counsel for Harry Thaw in his trial for the mur- der of Stanford White, is back in New York, and he says he is here to stay
 ''It was understood, MT Delmas that you had abandoned the idea of taking up practice in this city, and had returned to the Pacific slope for good" Times reporter suggested on meeting him on his arrivel at the Grand Central station.
 "Oh, mo-" he replied; I'm in prac- tice in New York and shall stay here"
 MT Delmas after the Thaw trial went west to defend Abe" Rueff, the boss of San Francisco. He has figured in other western cases since that
 Are you interested in the Thaw case now?" he was asked.
 "Only as many thousands of per- sons are." he replied
 Are you as an attorney?" the re- porter asked
 No" was his reply, my interest as an attorney ended when the jury came in on the first trial"
 Martin w. Littleton, who was at one time president of the Borough of Brooklyn is now in charge of Thaw's defense.
 Those familiar with the prepara- tion of the case for the trial last win. ter believe that the story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw on the stand will not be told in the second trial. Before MT Hartridge retired from the case he said that.this story would not be epeated.-New York Times.

TAKEN TO ALMSHOUSE
Myrtle Edwards the Actress Breaks Down al Willimantic.

Willimantic, Oct. 19.-Myrtle Ed wards, the actress, wife of Alexander Comstock of Waterbury, who is wait ing trial here charged with fraud, is nearing a nervous breakdown and as her condition was considered bad yesterday afternoon she was taken to the almshouse where she will be more comfortably situated than in the police station, where she has been locked up since last Monday morning She has appeared before Judge Arnold in police court each morning since she was brought here and has each time asked a continuance of her case.
 Her confinement in the police sta tion has already had it's effects and her will has at last broken down un- der the strain to her nervous system She was in such condition that better care was necessary than could be given her in her cell at the police station and it was decided to remove her to the almshouse. She cries a great deal and is nervous and unable to sleep.
 Lawyer George E. Hinman, who has been retained in the case, by some of her friends, is at work pre- pairing his defense. In court yester- day morning he asked for further continuance to Monday night.
 Although it was thought that Miss Edwards might be able to get a bondsman when the bond was reduc- ed from $500 to S200 she has been unable to do so. The whereabouts ot her husband, Alexander Comstock and MT Loeffler, who was financing the company is still a mystery.

EVENING SCHOOL
Duggan School Will Be Opened
 on Monday Night.

The department of education, with a view to making the evening schools reach as many as possible, has de- cided to open rooms in the Duggan school next Monday evening from 7:15 to 9:15. Prof T. F. Devine and Miss Mary Ennis will be on hand to receive the pupils Monday even- ing. Here is golden opportunity for young men and women of that part of the town to acquire an edu- cation and at the same time con- tinue to work every day. With one of the finest buildings in the city at their disposal and a corps of able teachers to impart to them share of what they know, is it any wonder that the board of education feels that the number of pupils will be large? In the past folks had to pay something for this privilege, but now it costs nothing, so that nobody can say that there is any barrier between him and the opportunity to acquire an education. In this age there is no excuse for anybody not having fair knowledge of books, let alone being illiterate, and as consequence ev- erybody is expected to be abreast of the times and those who are in the background receive scant considera- ton. Everybody should master reading, writing and arithmetic. If you can go farther all right, but the man who knows his grammar and arithmetic, can write fair hand, and is of good character, isn't badly equipped, and he will not be likely to have to take back seat anywhere. Make up your mind now and be on hand when the doors open Monday evening.

ROOSEVELT KILLS BEAR.
Quarry Weighed 400 Pounds and Is of
 the Black Bear Variety.

Stamboul, La, Oct. 10. - President Roosevelt has at last bagged his bear It was a big fellow. weighing slightly more than 400 pounds. and the presi' dent is happy. He had almost begun to despair and was fearful that his famous hunt in the canebrakes would end a bearless affair.
 Today was the day set for the break ing of camp. so the presidents victory was just in the nick of time.
 The killing was the continuation of a four hour chase which the president made through the thicket. following the trail as indicated by the bowling of the dogs. The bear is a fine speci. men of the bruin family and is of the black variety. It was brought back tO camp and dressed and now hangs in the executive" tent. where it is ex hibited to all the camp followers.
 News of the successful hunt was brought into StambOuI from the camp by one of the negro cOuriers. who had been dispatched with the message al midnight. but did not reach here until late in the morning.

ARE DiSPLEASED
TrolleymeD Think Company
 Should Have Offered Bail.

According to the statements of sev- eral of the local trolleymen, the big majority of the men working on the cars in this city, were greatly dis pleased because the Connecticut Co did not furnish bail for James Sulli- van, who is accused of manslaughter, and who was in the station for three days before he was able to procure bonds. It was rumored that several of the motormen would resign on the first of the month, but from an ln- vestigation made to-day, none of the men are likely to quit their jobs. It is true that they are rather dissatis- fled with the treatment which Sulli- van received, but they claim that re- signing would not do any good, as the officials of the company are aware of the dissatisfaction among the men because the company did not furnish a bond for their employe when he got into the hands of the police. One of the trolleymen, speaking on the mat ter, to-day said:
 Yes, it is a source of worry to us because the company did not bail Sul- livan out, because we, ourselves, are likely to be placed in position simi- lar to his at any time. We are due in certain place at a certain time and we naturally, if delayed, en- deavor to make up the time lost. so the car is perhaps sent along at faster rate than it should be. AS it is for the benefit of the company to have the cars on time, we think that the company should at least bail us out when we get into trouble even though we run the cars at faster rate of speed than we should. But in the case of Sullivan, according to the officers whose testimony should go long way, the car was travelling within it's limit. Consequently when apparently Sullivan was not to blame, we all thought that the company would furnish a bond. Yes, it is also fact that the motormen are running the cars much more slowly since the chance within the city limits"
 It was also learned that the troll leymen had raised purse in order to secure a lawyer for Sullivan. Sul- livan is not member of the union.
 Although the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company heretofore al- ways bailed its men out when arrest ed on such d charge. it is understood that the policy of the Connecticut Co will be not to do so.

HOMAGE TO ROOSEVELT.
Tribute Is Paid to President at End of
 Peace Conference.

The Hague, Oct. 19.-The Hall of Knights presented an imposing specta- cle at the closing session of the inter. national peace conference. The boxes specially erected for the occasion were crowded to overdowing with cabinet ministers, diplomats and other states men and their wives, the latter in at- tractive costumes.
 The president, NJ. Nelidoff, said in his closing speech:
 At one of our recent sittings thanks were expressed to the august initiator of the two conferences his majesty the emperor of Russia. The conference, hope, will render homage to the presi- dent of the United States, who first proposed the meeting of the second conference. by authorizing me to send him the following telegram:
 "'The delegates to the second peace conference, having finished their work and remembering with gratitude the Initial proposition made for its convo- cation by the president of the United States, present to him their respectful homage"
 The efforts of the conference, he said, had tended to harmonize conflict ing interests. The efforts to establish an International high court of justice and obligatory arbitration failed be- cause there were practically insur- mountable difficulties in their way. The international prize court would. however. be one of the lasting monu- ments of the conference, and once ap- piled it would indirectly prevent the greater extension of war. The great. est significance of the present confer. ence. he added, was the assembling of representatives of the whole world.

 The new hall which is being erect ed on Green street for the Lithuanian Political and Literary club is almost completed. It will be opened with a dance one week from tonight. for which arrangements have already been made. The club house is 120 feet long and more than a feet wide. The property on which it is located was purchased only q short time ago and the hall has been erected in a very short time.

 As far as is known. nothing was done by the few members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improve ment committee who met in the ly- ceum last evening. There was no new business to be transacted and those present had an informal talk of short duration Because of a had cold Chairman John Henderson could not attend. It looks as though it is now only a question of time when the society will pass out of existence. The interest seems to be fagzing asrd as the men have done what they could towards getting the improve ments which they were appointed tc seek. there is in the opinion of thcif chairman not much for them to 6o.

FRATERNAL AND SOCIAL.
Coming Events of Interest to Many
 Waterbury People.

On next Wednesday evening a so- ciable and dance will be held at Turn hall on Scovill street.
 Court McGivney, D. of l., will give Halloween party at LeaVenWorth hall on Thursday evening, October 31.
 The Vega Singing society will give an entertainment and dance at Turn hall on Scovill street one week from tonight.
 On next Friday evening the La- dies auxiliary, A. o. H., will give their annual reception and dance at City hall.

 The Ladies' Aid society of the Third Congregational church will give a chicken supper at the church next Thursday evening.
 There will be a special meeting of St Thomas Holy Name society on Monday evening at 730. A full at tendance is requested, as business of much importance will be transacted.
 The City hall is now one of the most beautiful places in the state to spend an enjoyable evening; the deco rations are pleasing to the eye, the appointments are clean and neat, the floor is an ideal one for dancing, and when the members of the La dies auxiliary, A. o. H., hold their twelfth annual social there next Fri day night, October 25, it is hoped that a large attendance will greet them. Special music has been se- cured for dancing and no pains has been spared to make this the most pleasing entertainment of the sea- son.
 There was a large attendance at the entertainment in City ball last night under the auspices of the Queens Daughters the proceeds being Holy Ghost. a band of workers who have already won a warm spot in the hearts of the people of Waterbury. The hall never looked prettier and many who had not been in the place before in years, wondered why it was ever allowed to get into shape so that it was unfit for use for dances. shows and such other purposes as it is admirably designed. It is the most popular hall in Waterbury and now that it has been newly decorated, all it needs is new stage scenery to render it as attractive as ever. The program last night included whist, dancing and refreshments. The com mittee of arrangements consisted of Mrs C. C. Russell, Mrs S. ]. Hayes and Mrs John DuXbury. In the whist game the hest mans score was that of Robert $. Herr. and the leading woman player was Mrs Louis l. Thibault. Miss Kate Wallace, Mrs II. J. Lydon of Hartford, Mrs Fred AL lard. Miss Katherine Mallaly, Mrs Wagner. Mrs Hamilton. Miss Chaput. Miss Brandvein. Miss Hayes. Miss Katie Ford. Christopher Dunphy. John Hutchinson. John Phelan. William Buckley. Finton Tehan. Mel Buckley. John Tehan. M. Lawlor and William Grimes were the other leading play CTS.
