provement was one of these bullish
much better demand for spot cotton

New York, NOV. 3o.-The stock
market today gave abundance of the
resumption of speculative leadership
by operations of the professional cir
cIes. The movement was directed
primarily against a short interest
which is assumed to be lG"ge after so
heightened a period of decline and
disorder in the market. The basis
of the movement, is of course. the

sumption Of cash payments as soon as

ASHES FOR FUEL
People Should Learn 10 Prepare
 IL Before Taking Chances.

# g
 The coal men are very much pleased over the reported volcanic eruption in stove at Southington. said to have been caused by a ton sorial artist trying to convert ashes Into fuel by the new process which threatens to do away with coal or at least greatly curtail the quantity needed and in this way reduce the cost of the article. The thing was discovered by shoemaker and It looks rather funny to have it get n black eye on account of the bungling work of barber. That Southington haircutter may be all right with the shears and clippers, but he is poor mixer. He didn't use the right pro portions of salt water and Oxallc acid else the fuel would have worked all right, so that the coal men are not out of the woods yet. The s0lu- tion consists of two ounces of oxalic acid one pound of salt and q gallon of water. Then use one part of coal and two parts ashes and dampen it down with the solution and put on I fire that has already got good start and it will last all day.

BOARD HAD OUTING
Superintendent Was Instructed
 10 Grade Crescent Street.

Mayor Thoms and the department of public works had another outing yesterday afternoon and traversed all that part of Waterbury east of Main street and north of West Main street clear out to the town boundary
 lines at Wolcott. Thomaston and Wa tertown. That part of the town is growing fast and in a few years more 1t will be a very thickly settled section. The superintendent of streets was instructed to grade Cres- cent street. Several nice houses are built in the street and yet stumps of trees are still visible in the high way, a pretty good proof that 1t is by no means an old thoroughfare. It was voted to ask permission to lay "a water main in Oakland avenue, and to hold hearings for the construction of sidewalks on Orchard street; also to extend Rose street to Oak street. The clerk was instructed to notify the trolley people that they will have to make some repairs in the street between their tracks on North Will low street. above Cloves terrace. A thorough inspection was made of the Watertown road and hobDins street

MUST UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.
Ignorance of the Language No Ex-
 cuse in Court.


 Ignorance of the language of ths country is not taken as an excuse in the city court for not knowing
 what has been said by another per- son concerned in breach of the law. In the city court this morning At |torneys Peasley and Minor objected to what witness had to say because the accused in whose presence 1t was said did not understand English. They held that in view of their clients ignorance of the country's
 language it was equivalent a being |absent from the scene of trouble. The man did not know what was said and therefore he might as we'll not have been present at ali. Judge ourpe' did not take this view of the matter. The persons concerned were Greeks and only one of them seemed to have any knowledge at all of tue languagf of the country. This man said a good deal to the officers who were on hand to make the arrest, but his countrymen knew no more what he was talking about than did the man in the moon. Consequently the at torneys objected to what the man had said.
 Judge Burpee replied that the mans ignorance of the country's tongue was his misfortune. he was to be pitied, but HIS ignorance should not be the means of perverting just ice. So the testimony that was ob- jected to was allowed and given. The moral is obvious. Non English speaking citizens should get an American gait on.

There was no necessity for the other three being finished immediately, consc- quently they were allowed to drag along for some time. The addition was delayed for some time because of labor troubles during which very little work was done on the building.

WATERvlLLE A TOWN.
May Start 10 Do Business on lls
 Own Nook.

Waterbury was big place when 1t included besides its present area in square miles. practically all Nau- gatuck, Prospect, Middlebury, Water- town, Thomaston, and slices of Wood- bury, Oxford and Woicott. In those days the population was small and it was an easy matter to maintain or der and make such public improve ments as were demanded. so that the town authorities didn't have many calls in the rounds of the year into the rural districts As soon as places that have been cut off into town- ships for themselves became tllckly settled it was soon noticed that It was for the best interests of all to have q division of territory and as a con. sequence several townships. some of them larger than Waterbury as it now exists were formed out of what was formerly Mattatuck. At ths present time and for some years past many has called attention to the need of further divisions of the town and some of the present city officials feel that the sooner such things happens the better for the whole community. It appears to be pretty generally be- lieved that it would pay Waterville to do business for itself and 1t would also help Waterbury. The same feeling exists with reference to Brooklyn and Town plot, Simons- vile and the whole district south of Scovill's bridge and the northern part of the city. A man who has seen . great many changes in Waterbury said to-day that in time Waterbury will not extend farther west than the Naugatuck river the town farm, line running northerly therefrom to a point just above the Chase Rolling Mill Co will be as far as it will run in that direction. This line, he said Will come out at the junction of Wol- colt and East Main street and contin- ue along the latter street to Hamilton park. The economy of some such di- vision as this he claimed will some day force itself upon the people and when 1t does it will come. He said Wateryille can police it's own streets cheaper than it can be done several miles from the base of operations. The same thing would hold regarding fire protection and other things and would apply to all the other suburban districts.
 The proposition looked rather vis- ionary but it is surprising how many believe in it and put forward good reasons why it would be beneficial all around. Itsmay be true that it would he well to form some new township and make Waterbury smaller than 1t is, but 1t win take long time to get the public to look at 1t that way. al- though to he sure, Waterville people have often threatened to sece,le, but 1t Is doubtful if they really meant what they said on that question.

MAY FESTIVAL.
Big MusicaI Event to Re Held d
 Buckingham Music Hall.

Big MusicaI Event to Re Held as
 Buckingham Music Hall.
 The success of the coming music festival, to be given in Music hall, the Buckingham. on May 13 and IA, is already practically assufed, as the advance sale of course tickets has been large locally and the outside de- mand Is something unprecedented. Orders are coming in every day from New Haven, Bridgeport, Meriden. New Britain. Hartford, the towns up and down the valley, and even from cities in other states. such as Spring. field. Mass, and Worcester. The cause of this wide interest is un- doubtedly the remarkable excellence of the programs for the concerts, not little of the interest being due, moreover. to the fact that one of the best orchestras in the country, the New York Symphony, under Walter Damrosch's direction, has been en- gagged for all three performances.
 Waterbury music lovers are to be congratulated, indeed, on having in prospect the privilege of hearing this orchestra in Wagner program on the opening night, in a symphony concert the afternoon of the second day. and in the orchestral accom- paniment to the opera Samson and Delilah," by Saint-Saens. which will be produced by the Waterbury Ora torio society on Tuesday evening, May 14. No orchestra in the coun. try has made more steady progress than the New York symphony, which, under Mir Damrosch's able direction, has grown from a comparatively ob. scure organization to one in the very first rank. Aided by generous en- dowment recently received. additional rehearsals and augmented numbers have served to make the progress of the two last seasons especially mark ed, and accordingly Mir Damrosch's ambition to have the finest orchestral organization in the country seems in a fair way to be realized.
 Course tickets at S4 for the three concerts are now on sale, the ex- change for reserved seats to be made at the Buckingham pharmacy begin- ming Monday morning. May 6. Sin- gle admission will be s150 for the first evening and the matinee. and g2 for the second evening.
