The first official water supply for Lon

Peter Maurice, German, made an en-

was conveyed in lead pipes to the citi-

Treating the Insane.

In 1896 William luke, a Quaker,
opened the first national asylum for
the insane in York, England. A few
years earlier a Frenchman named Pr.

the mentally deficient to the rank Of
human beings. PinePs plan was that
Of nonrestraint, a system then unheard
Of and, Of course, to be ridiculed as a
preposterous heresy. 1t is now being
followed everywhere.

No sweethearting In Ireland.

Through a great part Of ireland pub
lie opinion, nodded by the clergy, sepa-
rates the sexes as far as possible. At
the church door and wherever else they
congregate men group on one side, wo-
men on the other. It is not well
thought OF for people Of opposite sexes
to be seen walking along the road to-.
gether even to a market. The position
certainly Of some ecclesiastics has
been made definite by the refusal OF
certain bishops to allow mixed class
es'' in branches Of the Gaelic league.
On the whole, public opinion discour-
ages whatever can be justly or even
dnjustly set down as sWeethearting.

pounds was struck by the westOCund
passenger train on the Central New
England railroad at ''pine bluff near

discovered by freight crew One of
the men cut the animals throat. to enc
it's sutferings. Game Warden H. L.

before the animal died. He took charge
of the carcass and disposed of it.

one of several that have for some time

NATIONAL GRANGE
CLOSING SESSION
NEXT MEETING IN WASHINGTON
The Order Favors Mechanics Art High
Schools, Agriculture in the Rural
Schools, Passes for Blind Persons,
Forest Preservation-The Grange
Also in Favor of Woman Suffrage.

The national grange ended its annual
sessionat Hartford Friday. Resolutions
were adopted in favor of the bill before
Congress appropriating 10 cents per
capita to cities for mechanics arts high
schools, and 10 cents per capita In rural
districts for agricultural schools. A reso-
aution on child labor advocates the
harmonizing of the child labor and tru-
ancy laws. so that the education of the
child and not it's labor be made para
mount,
Resolutions were adopted in favor of
the teaching of domestic science and
manual training jim the rural schools as
were also those favoring the issuing of
passes to blind persons and their attend
ants by the railroads. In regard to rail
roads the report submitted demanded of
the government some sort of oversight
powerful enough to compel obedience
and broad enough to avoid injustice.
Sufficient power is advocated for the i'm
terstate commerce commission to defend
the people from unjust railroad charges
that the small shipper May have ade-
auate protection and especially that the
farmer may not be Disseminated against.
Resolutions relative to forests were also
adopted, advocating their preservation
for all time and favoring their care and
management by the department of agri-
culture, and place the grange on record
as favoring all legitimate measures for
the regrowing of forests in this country
State Overseer o. S. Wood of Connec-
rtieuti presented the following resolution,
which was adopted -
Whereas, The national grange stands
for the equality of men aud women III
the home and grange, and whereas, the
national grange, at it's annual conpen-
tion has declared from time to time in
favor of the equality of citizens, there
fore, resolved, That the political rights
of women be discussed in meetings of
the order.
The report on life insurance was de-
ferred for another year. A resolution
in appreciation of the splendid welcome
given the grange by the people of Con-
necticut was unanimously adopted. The
next session will be held in Washing
ton, ID. @.

his custom to walk the track for short
distance and then follow path across
the fields to his home Oh the barracks.

Since starting he has lost nine pounds.
He weighed lar at the start.
There is no wager to compete for on
the trip. Weston hopes to arrange

that he desired more than anything to
show the world, especially England and
France, that the United States produces
men so far ahead of Europeans that they

They at once began the construction
of a pipe line which consisted of a three
quarter inch lead pipe which would
seem rather small for SO large an enter
prise. The pipe was laid winding
around the various hillsides, for what
purpose lis not understood The first
patron was Chesterfield King. From
that poiqrt it was laid in the rear Of the
residences on the east side Of the main
street. as the proprietors asa lived on
that side of the street RS far south as
Ansell S*erling's, which at that time
was owned and occupied by him, and is
where Miss Eleanor McClurg recently
built
For proof that this pipe was laid along
the course as stated, intrenching and
excavating at Nafious times and places
many pieces of this pipe have been taken
from the ground. A portion twelve feet
long was taken last year about one hun
dred feet in the rear of the cottage of
/. N. Bartram known as the ''Brownell. +"
The pipe, however, was used but a short
stime-a few years at the longest-fal
ing probably for the lack of water la a
severe drought or from the lead pipe
failing We must rememberl at that
early day-nearly one hundred years
sinee-that no reservoirs on mountain
streams were thought of as storage fol
water supply, no IRON pipes of sufficient
size to supply entire cities or villages or
to afford proper fire protection. No
thought of bath rooms or the conven-
fence of house plumbing and the great
labor saving convenlenees connected
with the same.
The water supply for Sharon street
remained in this primitive state until
Isaac N. Bartram secured from the
Connecticut legislature at the January
session 1881 a charter called the Sharon
Water Company. A company was soon
after organized with capital of twelve
thousand dollars The amount for the
same was soon subscribed and the Shar-
on village supply of water seemed to be
. fixed fact. Bat opposition arose-men
of influence and>wealth talked loud and
long that it would never pay on an ex-
penditure of more than twenty-five hun
dred dollars, so one after another of the
subscribers dropped off the list until but
few remained. These were L N. Bar
tram, Willard Baker, Ezra H. Bartram,
Dwight N. Eggleston, Gilbert l.. Smith,
A. III. Card. Solomon Kirby and Mrs. S.
Hamlin, representing less than four
thousand dollars of the capital stock.
So matters remained until 1887, without
any prospect of water for Sharon until
Mr.. Bartram presented this condition
and the necessity to the late Hon. Will
! lam III. Barnum of Lime Rock, who,
turning in his chair, as was his custom.
said promptly aud decidedly: "Yes. set

GAFFNEY AND THE
FIRE DISTRICT
A SETTLEMENT IS NOW IN SIGHT
District Proposes to Put Sewer Into
Immediate Use, and to Pay Gaffney
$500 Now = The Balance When
He Makes the Job Satisfactory Next
Spring or Summer.

There are indications of an early
settlement of the controversy between
the executive committee of the Canaan
fire district and contractor Gaffney of
Waterbury, relative to the sewer sys-
tenn in Canaan.
A meeting was held in Canaan, Mon
day, at which verbal agreement was
practically reached, and under the pro-
visions of which the district will extend
Mr.. Gaffney's contract one year, pay
him $500 of the $4,000 remaining I'M
paid and allow him to do, next
spring or summer, the work neces-
sary to place the sewer in condition
that wall be acceptable, to the district,
after which time the remaining portion
of the contract price, about $4,000, will
be paid.
This agreement will, of course, carry
with it permission for use of the sewer
during the winter, or until the repairs
are commenced.
Papers were drawn, but not signed,
Monday. Mr.. Gaffney took them to
Waterbury with him for the purpose of
getting tine approval of the fidelity COM
pany to the extension of his bond. He
promised decision in a few days and
it is hoped the said decision will be
promptly forthcoming, as the very great
need of the sewer is apparent on all
sides.
