Genelli asserted that himself. O'Connell and Winters were perfectly willing that such a match be arranged and do not care whether 1t takes place in public or private. But before any match is made for felt must be placed, says Genelli Any night that is suitable to Roach and his packers we are ready to meet them in the Democrat office or any other place they may see fit, to ar range match. We are eager for such contest and Winters is willing to wager any amount on the out come," stated Genelli. We hope that Roach and his friends will meet us within a few days

THE ELTON GARAGE.
The Elton Hotel Corporation Object
 to Use of Name Elton.

The papers in very interesting suit were returned to the superior court to-day. The plaintiff is the Waterbury Hotel corporation, that is, the stockholders of The Elton hotel. and the defendant is the Elton Au- tomobile company which has gar age at 156 East Main street. The hotel people have asked the superior court for temporary and perma- nent injunction against the automo- bile company restraining it from making further use of the name "El- ton, in its business. ,i
 The papers in the case are very in- teresting. It set up that the con- struction of "The Elton" cost $5O0,- 900, and that incidental to the hotel business there is garage or automo- bile station for the care and storage \of automobiles. It is alleged that money has been expend- led in advertising the hotel and that lit is now known far and wide as "The |Elton." It is furthermore alleged that the defendants, before starting lin business asked permission from the plaintiffs to use the name "The FL ton and such permission was re- fused, whereupon the defendants went ahead and used it and are still using it in their business. The reason for using it the complaint states. is to deceive the public and make capital out of name or title the defendants have no legal right to. Damages of $2,000 is claimed.

CITY NEWS.

Counterfeit nickels of very poor make are being distributed around the town. A couple of 'em have found their way to the police station.
 The dangerous practice of burning refuse in back yards and alley ways is going on with great activity than ever. In one yard in the rear of Bank and Grand street buildings there has been fire every day for a week. The practice is dangerous and disagreeable.
 Owners of property in the viciIiity of Calvary cemetery are worked up at the attempt to burn out much woodland the other day. Only for the hard work of the property owners the fire would have reached the ceme- tery, and there is no telling how much damage it would have done. One of the men who fought the fire is willing to pay $1O for the arrest of those who started the blaze.

seentino the Hair.

A good method of scenting the hair is to drop five or six drops of oil of jessamine or some other perfume of the same kind into the. palm of the hand and rub hard over the brush, so that the oil is transferred to the bristles. The hair should then be we'll brushed and will be found to be quite sufficiently perfumed by this method. This should be done after 1t has been first washed. Damp hair loses it's curl. Hot weather increases the precipitation of the scalp and 90 causes much-tried woman . little ex- tra trouble. There are many excel lent lotions for preventing and rem edying tlle mischief. Here is a pre- scription; Five parss of hazeline. two parts of eau de cologne and ono bart of spirit of rosemary. well shaken together.

SAILOR SIGNS AND TOKENS.
Many Strange Expectations Of Those
 Who Roam the oceans.


 There is a general idea that the sailor labors under more than the one pet superstition popular tradition assigns to each iy.lividual. J. D. J. Kelley, although he declares that "tars" gre no more superstitious than any of their equals in training and opportunities, cites in The Ships Company" many of the signs and tox- ems in which those who go down to the sea in ships" put their faith. In the past superstition was a part of every ship: 1t entered into its keel. climbed to its flags. ran at its launch ing, controlled it's crew and cargo, evoked portents and governed its ven- lures and arrivals A bit of stolen wood was always mortised into the keel to make ship sail fast A sil- yer coin was placed in the mainmast step to insure lucky ventures. The modern christening by the wine bottle arose from the ancient libations pour ed on the deck by priests. Ship bells are blessed and to this day if . mis- take is made in striking one 1t is i'm mediately struck backward to break the spell. The belief in the desertion of a sinking ship by rats is founded on reason. for rats like to be dry foot ed and when vessel is unsafe 1t be- comes leaky under deck and too vet for the creatures comfort-Youth'6 Companion.

A DANGEROUS SPOT.
Cinders and Hot Water Light on a
 Pedestrian.


 Chris Dunphy of Bank street. Brooklyn, was coming up town this afternoon and while passing under the railroad bridge of the Highland division he claims to have received dose of cinders from overhead that when he was recovering from this hot water poured down upon him with telling effect. He intends to sue somebody. the railroad people or the city officials. he does not know which and feels that he has pretty good case. Mr Dunphy told report CT of this paper that this nuisance is of long standing and that il continues simply because the proper steps never have been taken to stop it. The trouble from cinders has been re- duced some. but not wholly by any means and why the other and still more dangerous nuisance should be toleratcd Is something he cannot un- derstand. It seems an engine was passing over the bridge just as Mir Dunphy was going under the trestle and happened to be dischal ging little hot water which came down on time to strike him on the hack of the neck and then trickled down his back. Naturally Mir Dunphy was at white heat over the affair and 1t is safe to state that if he could lay hands on the man in charge of tbe engine he would not leave safe bone in his body He swore some when he go; the dose. but not quite enough to stop the engine. consequently he vas powerIesS to infiict injury upon the parties who were responsible for his suffering.
