80 different types of dances in the rep

the Hawaiian islands. The 'hulu-hula"

Has Several Favorites.-In addition
to Charles B. Hartford, whose name
alone is sufficient to guarantee public
interest in Shakespearean production,
the company that will produce Antony
and Cleopatra at the Illinois theater
Tuesday. Oct. %, will include num-
Der of established favorites. Alexander
Mackenzie will appear as Octavius
Caesar, and John M. Kline as Enobar-
bus. The important role of Cleopatra
is being assumed with distinguished
success by Miss Alice Wilson. The
scenes of the play, which are laid partly
in Egypt and partly in Rome, offer an
invitation to lavish spectacular display,
an invitation which Mr.. Hanford in
making the production has accepted
without hesitation. A unique and beau
Itiful series of pictorial effects is used
! to enhance the illusion.
One of Those That Lives.-The plays
that live can be counted on ones fin
gers. The "Old Homestead" "Way
Down East" and Kerry Cow" are
among the most notable of these. Ev-
cry season for decade or more Kerry
Cow has been greeted by large and
delighted audiences, and this season
the success is greater than ever The
story of Kerry Cow is so beautiful
the sentiment so true, the ring of the
anvil as Dan O'Hara molds the horse
shoe, and the Irish songs, which are
numerous, are so enhancing, that the
interest does not flag for one moment
from the rise of the curtain in the first
act to the final fall at the end of the
last. This season the part of Dar
lO'Hara is in the hands of charming
young Irish comedian, Bernard DAILY
who possesses a sweet tenor voice ant
who has been pronounced by critics the
Ionly successor to the late w. ]. Scan
Ian. Mr.. DAILY has been connected witt
IDenman Thompson and other importan
stars for the past 10 years, and is ar
Itistic and convincing in his work. Sup
ported by an excellent company AM

Boards of Education and Finance
 Clash on Salary Question.

The board of education proposes to ascertain whether 1t is that body or the board of finance that regulates salaries for the teachers and princi- pals. From time immemorial 1t has been the custom for the board of edu- cation to recommend certain increases in salaries at the close of the school year, and the board of finance granted the recommendations or reduced tue amount allowed or cut It off altogether on one ground or another. Last June, in compliance with this custom, the board of education recommended increases from s75 to $1O0 and at the meeting of the board held Inst evcn- Ing Clerk Fitzgerald read a communi- cation from the board of finance that the amount recommended had been re- duced to $50.
 Commissioner Mcdonald asked what power the board of finance had to ''butt in in this manner and Commissioners Monagan and Chapman backed him up. They were under the impression they said that it was the board Of education which named what salary should be paid teacher.
 Commissioner Chapman thought it was time to ascertain who runs the schools in this respect The board of finance has been "butting in so long that no doubt its respective members were now laboring under the misap- prehension that they constituted the board of education. It was time to wake them up and the only way to do that was to get the opinion of the city attorney on the matter. Mayor Thoms, who presided, thought this the better way, too, and 1t was so voted.
 The customary bills and pay rolls were then approved. after which the board adjourned.

MACADAM ROADS
Cheapest and Best According lo
 Tesls Made.

Some day when public officials
 open their eyes to the wisdom of de- ing little more of their own work. bitulithic. wood and other prominent
 street pavement material that costs
 considerable will be relegated to the
 rear and macadam will come to the front. Hartford caught on to this years ago and as consequence 1t has
 more and better macadam roads than
 any other town in Connecticut. They tried other things and found that with the exception of asphalt none of them paid. Macadam properly laid is the best road municipality can
 make. but If you don't lay 1t right and take little care of 1t 1t will not
 last. This is the way Hartford
 man put 1t to reporter yesterday
 and 1t goes without saying that he
 is right. It Is hard to get city boards
 to use macadarn very generally sim ply because 1t is not backed by an oily tongued representative who
 knows how to sing its praises. nor is
 there any patent rights preventing
 anybody from using it. Hartford tried little wood and 1t proved very unsatisfactory so they will not be likely to bother with any more of 1t. Last year Waterbury laid a piece lof road bed on Cole street at an ex-
 pense of $1.50 yard. The depart
 ment of public works and everybody else who understands that class of
 work pronounced it far better than
 what the city gets from contractors
 for any where from s2.50 a yard to $2.7b. It would be interesting to hear the city fathers explain why the
 board of public works didn't use that kind of material this year in- stead of fooling around with bituli-
 thic and such other material as smart agents have for sale. It would not
 be necessary for the city to do a great amount of the work. Contracts could be let for suitable macadam
 roads and the work kept up until every street in town where the grade is not too steep was put in first class condition. But macadam is too cheap and probably that is the prin- cipal reason why it has nobody to sound its praises.
 Hartford is also ahead of it's neighbors in the matter of sidewalk building. The space Tagged or cov- cred with concrete is not wide but a
 neat patch of green gress Is main. tained between the concrete and the
 curbing which lessens the cost of construction while adding consider ably to the appearance of the high
 ways. This of course does not ap- ply to streets in the crowded dis
 tricts, grass and trees being about
 as scarce in such places as they are
 in Waterbury. The Capitol city Is provided with an abundance of beau tiful shade trees. mostly naples, set
 out in such way that they do not obstruct public travel. In some
 streets on the outskirts the branches
 meet and form archways across the
 highways, so that one walking on
 the street in such weather as this
 readily appreciates the value of such
 foresight on the part of the public servants and wishes that in this re- |spect at least that Connecticut had q uniform charter.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

William Burns of Washington avenue is in Philadelphia for the week.
 Miss Laura Draher of Draher avenue is entertaining friends from Elgin, III.
 The German family of Bank street is entertaining friends from New York.
 Patrick o'Brien of Poplar avenue has returned after spending a week in Lakeville.
 Miss May Wall of Poplar avenue has returned from Savin Rock where she spent the past week. Miss Nellie o'Connell of New Britain, who has been visiting the McGill family the past month, re- turned home yesterday.
 The Brooklyn Business Mems ball team had no game to-day, as the contest with the West End mer- chants did not materialize.
 The members of the Third Con gregational church with their friends will go on an outing to Savin Rock on Saturday afternoon. Although the members can go at whatever time convenient, the majority will be at city hall to take the 1:06 car.
 --One of F. J. Woods horses be- came overloaded yesterday after noon and dropped near the Bank street bridge. It appeared as though the animal was about to turn up its toes, but when a restorative was in jected into the exhausted beast. it came back to it's own and after a short rest was on it's feet again.
 This morning about o'clock as one of the wagons of the Water bury Ice corporation turned from Washington avenue into Bank street it collided with a trolley car coming down Bank street. The shaft of the Ice cart was smashed and one of the horses slightly injured, the accident not resulting seriously as the car and horses had almost stopped when they came together.
 Although the signs recently erected for those who are not fa- miliar with the geography of the city apparently were put up to stay, nevertheless the mischievous boys have already started to use them as targets. The sign at the corner of North Riverside street and Sunnyside avenue is already in the hospital. North Riverside Street" has been so mutilated that 1t now reads North River 10c t." The city expended too much money on these signs to have them destroyed so soon, and if the offenders are caught they should be made to pay dearly

STREET FoREMEN.
Fault Found With Some Holders oi
 Positions.


 Some dissatisfaction exists over the makeup of the foremen on the street department and their family connec- tions are being talked of. It is an easy matter to do this, as most of them have lived here all their lives so that their records can be had with out much trouble. During the repub- lican administration many of the fore men came here from neIghboring towns to accept positions and residents didn't have much chance to berate them, for but few knew their names. Why should man be found fault with simply because he has decided to make Waterbury his home! Foremen on the street department who were not born here have been in town so long that most of us cannot tell whether they were born here or not. In any case they are aIl old time residents and as this Is q good place to stay in 1t isn't fair to make a fuss about any of them as long as they all earn their money And It goes without saying that men who are out in this kind of weather have 10 sinecure. Wa terbury has always been rather stlngy when it comes to paying foremen and common laborers. and probably thIs explains why they have always been q ready mark for so-caIled reformers. A little more pay and shorter hours would be greatly appreciated -by the employees of the city. but they are not likely to get either very soon if one can judge by what he hears from time fo time from people who think the whole hog belongs hy right to privi- ledged class. People who have nofis- ing better than q knock for the men on the streets need vacstion and probably after Hffie relsx&tion ther might pluck up eeazzre fp atm nt torebodr h4E&e< ~ l1s izddH.

OIL REFINERY is BURNED.
Plant of Sterling Company at Mari
eta, O., Destroyed.

Marietta, o. Many Thousands
of dollars loss was caused Tues.
day by a fire that destroyed most
of the plant of the Sterling Oil re.
finery. The conflagration ragged for \
seven hours, dying down only when
there was nothing more for the flames
to feed upon. ..
The water pumps were out of order
but several lines of steam were played
into the fire and by strenuous efforts
ten tanks of crude Oil ON a hill above
the works were saved as the wind was
blowing in the opposite direction The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
is supposed to have originated in
retort in which bones used in Clarity
ing oil are reduced to char. Over 200
barrels of machine oil and IA tanks Of
refined oil and much finished product
was destroyed. The officials OF the
company refuse to give the amount Of
less.
The Sterling company is one Of the
independents mentioned IN the list as
making agreements to sell the entire
product to the Standard Oil company
in exchange for crude oil. The plant
was modern and we'll equipped.

Department store at Close Range.

, OSpdTIfTlSuI okOtC a. StSoS shN'S~s
Because 1t is volume of business
that counts, every department store.
of course, tries to keep stock as low
as possible. Everything must be kept
moving. Under the old system a store
would buy a whole years supply OF
staples and a seasons supply Of other
goods. But it Is not SO now, and the
modern method throws upon the
shoulders Of manufacturer and whole
saler the risks that formerly were as
sumed by the retail store, to the grave
Reorganization of the business of
those who supply the big stores. Most
women know that as rule the things
offered In bargain sales are sold below
the actual cost of manufacture, says
Harley Davis in Everybody's. Now
the bargain sale is popularity supposed
70 serve Z double purpose-to attract
people to the store and to get rid OF
old goods. The first proposition Is
always true, while the latter applies
TO only about one.tenth Of the bargain
sales. The manufacturer stands the
loss, for there is a very considerable
loss. OF the other nine-tenths. 1t Is
automatic among the department store
owners that there is always a manu-
facturer who is willing to sell some Of
his output at great sacrifice. 1t may
be because he finds himself stocked
with goods for which there is no de-
nand at the prices for which they
were made to sell; oftener, he is hard
pressed for ready money. But what
ever the cause, the result is a bar
gain sale In Departments store And
in all cases, except the one bargain
sale in ten, by which the store Is get
ting rid of its own goods that haven't
been sold, the establishment makes
Its regular standard profit.

MAY EXTEND WIRE STRIKE
GOTHAM LOCAL WANTS LEASED
WIRE MEN CALLED OUT.
Await Sanction Of National Officers
and Ask Them to Take Action
Throughout.

New York.-The New York local OF
the Commercial Photographers union
voted Wednesday night to call out all
leased wire operators employed by
the press and brokers' Offices in this
city, if such action shall be sane
toned by the national officers. Ac'
ton by the national officers Will be
awaited before anything further is
done.
It was voted also to ask the national
officers to issue a call for the brokers
and press telegraphers throughout the
country to quit work. The demand
upon the men who are now working
under contract is made in the inter
ests of those who have struck against
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies.
The decision to call upon the press
and broker operators to break their
individual contracts and go out in
sympathetic strike was reached after
a heated debate which occupied sew
eral hours of a meeting Of the New
York local No 16 On the final vote it
was declared that the strikers were
practically unanimous.
Daniel L. Russell, chairman Of the
strike committee, who until Wednes-
day had opposed the movement for a
sympathetic strike, made vigorous
speech in which he reversed his posi-
ton and declared that expediency de-
manded such war measure as was
proposed.
An amendment introduced by John
G.. McCloskey of the Hearst News
Service, exempting from the strike
operators of leased wires who were
bound by union contract with their
employers, signed six months previous
to the strike of the commercial men.
was defeated, amid much cheering.
and the original resolution passed
with little opposition.
After the meeting Chairman Rus
sell said If the present course was not
effective the railroad operators would
be called upon to quit work.
