SUMMERS AND KEIES IN DRAW Quaker Gives English Light weight Champion Plenty
 to Take Care
 Of SUMMERS SEEMS TO
 LACK STIFF PUNCH With it He Could Have Knocked Reyes Out in the Third Doherty- Maher Go
 8 Farce.

Followers of the kitted hoof from New Haven and the moss grown sub- urbs, New York, Boston and Philadel- phia, gathered in the classic shades of Music hall last night to see Bert Reyes of Philadelphia and lightweight cham pion Johnnie Summers of England so ten round mill to a draw. Reyes was the aggressor most of the time, but Summers showed the more clever tac- tics.
 The bout through the ten rounds was pretty even, but was marred by a good deal of holding and clinching. In the first round Reyes started off by land- ing a good lift up under Summers ribs; then they clinched; then Reyes landed some more, but not enough to do any material damage. Befere the round was over Summers had steadied and 1t was easily a draw.
 Reyes in the second round had a slight advantage, First he slipped tho Englishman one of those delightful lift ups; then smashed him under the ear, following this little attention with a heavyweight Diff in the beak; Reyes had a chance then to follow up his ad- vantage, but overreached himself, and before the round finished succeeded merely in tapping Summers a few times under the left eye.
 The gentleman from Philadelphia | l,A the jaw during the third round which staggered him for an atom of eternity. Had Summers the strength he could have fairly lifted Reyes off his feet. Here 1t was shown for the first time that although the Englishman was very clever he lacked the punch. Summers responded to the pleasantly by landing with full force on Reyes face and the round closed draw
 At the beginning of the fourth round Reyes handed Summers a pile driver on the nasal organ following up his ad- vantage by driving the Britoh to the ropes. Summers then tapped Reyes in the front part of his face, but the force of the blow was parried and Reyes with startling precision reached Sum- mers' left ear. Just as Summers struck Reyes heart a terrific crack the round closed a draw.
 The fifth round was also very even. At the start Summers placed three consecutive jabs on Reyes nose, fol- lowing with a fourth under his jaw. Reyes gently placed bis fist under Summers left shoulder, raising him perhaps three feet from the floor. Af-

MAIL DELAYS AT AN END
Special Weighing for Statistics Now
 Unnecessary.

V ith the closing oI October. it will be unnecessary to weigh mail at the postoffice as has been done for the past thirty days, so that it is hoped the con gestion and resultant delay in delivery, is thing of the past
 The weighing of matter, causing the delay, has been owing to an endeavor by the postmaster general a Washing ton to secure data upon which to base the cost of carrying mails and it has been necessary for the local office to re- cord intricate statistics, taking much time

THE CITY STREETS
Legislature Says No When Per.
 mission for COnduitS is Asked

The turning down of the appuca. tion of the city government by the legislature for permission to con- struct conduits in the city streets coming on the heels of the black eye given the board of aldermen and the department of public works by the railroad commissioners on the North Willow street trolley matter, ought to be an eye opener for people who make a practice of taking sides with corporations against the city, especi. ally public men chosen by the free. men of municipalities to look after the public veal, In Waterbury up to the past year or two the corpora. tions always had a majority back oi them in the board of aldermen in this city, but that isn't so just now. The conduit measure and the North Will. low street project were unanimously approved by the board of public works and signed by the mayor, but this didn't amount to anything when the corporate interests got the ear oi the lawmakers at Hartford. The same thing was true with reference to municipal lighting when hayseeds and political hangers-on from all over the state throttled the city Tn the interest of the Philadelphia com. pany which since disposed of all il then owned in Waterbury, leaving the people to look out for themselves, Some of the republicans about town don't know what to say in explana- tion of this matter. but those who have the courage of their convictions make no bones of stating this and other things of the kind have much to do towards turning many well meaning men out of the party. Sen. ator Chase took the city's view of the situation, but the fact that he voiced the sentiments of city with popu. lation of 10000 souls made no differ. ence to the jokers who have their eye peeled on all occasions for a chance to do nice things for private corpora. tions at the expense of their fellow men.
 Senator Chase in advocating the measure said the bill should be passed. It simply gives Waterbury the control of the streets. A private concern has conduits in the streets now, and gets a revenue from them, while the city has to beg for their use and can't lay conduits itself. He told of the dan gers from overhead wires interfering with ladder work at fires.

Foundation of Manners.

If parents have one set of manners for the home and another set for the outside world. the children will copy those they see in the home.
 There must Dc no selfishness at home if one does no, want the boy or girl to grow up selfish. The foundation of the best manners is a good heart. of course. and a kindly feeling toward every one. Without this they are bat artificial. and will no, stand the test of the buffeting of the world and all its opposing forces.

LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE.
Quarrelsome Individual Asserts Man
 Has Much to Learn.

"It's queer how little most people know about little things" said quar- relsome man not long since. Some day am going to start school where only the minHtiae of life will be taught-how to button the coat when you put it on, how to brush hat, and so on. Not one in hundred persons knows it is a mistake to button the bottom of coat first. The top but ton should be the first one, otherwise the shape of the coat, even if 1t is carefully tailored, is seriously affect ed. This little pointer alone would save many persons a lot of money. A hat should always be brushed in the direction opposite to the hands of a clock. Otherwise the pile of the felt is taken out and the hat given a cheap, poor appearance. Of course, with straw this does not apply. In the care of paste, too, it is odd how little is known by most people. The best way to buy paste nowadays is in the water-well jars put up by all large manufacturers. Then when such jar is gotten keep the well always half full of water. If paste becomes hard. too, from lack of use stir it with a stick until 1t has proper consistency. If obdurate add little water. If still obdurate after this add a little give erin and water. This will put it in good condition. Altogether, if people only knew more about the little things of life and less of the pretentious and immaterial ones, it would be a far happier place to live in-this world we have down here"

Rival of White Shoes.

Summer women clad in snowy white are to be mourned among the good things that are gone. With the passing of white gloves. white shoes seem to be put on the list prescribed. Fashionable shoe dealers say that only very indifferent people are buy ing white shoes. Those who do so are brave and proclaim that they do not care if they show the modes of summers ago; but they must be brave indeed to wear the shoes outside therr own home. Pale gray in the shoe Is the very thing. or lemon colored kid or golden brown suede. Young girls are wearing the yellows. and more ad- vanced matrons shoes which are made to match their latest gowns.

 Howard Hickox. general machinist of the Diamond Match company's local plant was accidentally struck on the forehead by a sledge hammer about noon yesterday and may be fat ally injured. There was no cut made by the heavy hammer but he was stunned by the blow and did not re. cover for several minutes. The blow was struck by his helper. Walter Wheeler and was an accident. Both Mr Hickox and his helper were on a scaffold about fifteen feet high and were driving an iron block in the big fly wheel when the accident occurred. MT Hiekox was holding the block and Wheeler swung the sledge which weighs about fifteen pounds. He had struck several blows when he lost control and let the hammer down on Mir Hickox. It struck almost in the middle of the forehead and sent him reeling backward. Wheeler caught him before he could fall.
