TWISTED WON AGAIN.

Winsted. March l9-The Winstcd basketball team scored another vic tory at the armory last night. easily defeating the All Stars of New York city by the score of 57 to 19. The game was one of the poorest played here this season. The visitors ar- rived with but four men, and Carroll. Winsted's substitute, was placed in the lineup at left forward. During the game Burke, center, and Hard ing, left forward. both Winsted play CTS, came together. and Harding was knocked unconscious for seven min utes. He pluckily resumed playing. however. The feature of the gamo was the shooting of Hagarty.

BRYAN ON LABOR UNIONS.
Nebraska n Says They Are Great Ben.
 eft to Worlsingmen.

eut tO WOrhiuRu1eb.
 CHICAGO, March l9.-William Jen. nlngs Bryan at the closing conference in connection with the industrial ex. hlbit expressed the opinion that trades unions have done more good for this country than any force in the country Mir. Bryan's remarks were received with satisfaction by the audience of union men from the Federation of La. Dor who attended the meeting.
 When we consider that through trades unions wages have been in. creased, hours shortened and comfort afforded the workingmen in greater measure," he said, q think we have right to say the benefits resulting from these unions cannot be overesti- mated. Perhaps no other force in the country ever has been so effective for improvement ill the citizenship and general moral qualities of our people. The Australian ballot system, for one thing, is largely due in this country to the agitation of the trades unions. l almost feel safe in saying that had
  it not been for the interest taken in this reform by the organizations we might still be employing the old sys- tenn of voting.
 If the labor union had never done anything else than raise the age limit of employment Of children in the mines and factories of the nation, I believe that accomplishment alone would ,justi- fy it's existence. No influence in this country has ever been so evil in it's effects as the tendency to crowd our workshops with children of tender years. It is a most destructive tenden- cy and one that the public conscience should protest against"
 Referring to women in industry. MT. Bryan said he believed women might accomplish as much as men through or ganization and unions.

of Arabic Derivation.

Zephyr" and cipher and zero" are words that come to the English from the Arabic "sifr." which meant literally empty" and so nothing" and the figure that represents no,h- ing. In medieval Latin this figure was called both -ciphrs- and also -zephyrum" the latter probably from association with -zephyrus.- or some thing even lighter than air. Hence. through the Italian ~zefro." there is the wOrd aero as a doublet with cipher"

A woman writer says: Mary a man with good digestion and no nerves if you want pearl of hus- band All of the seven deadly sins do not make man as hard to live with as genuine, well-developed case of liver. Choose. therefore, as husband a man who is hearty and husky and who can eat three square meals day. A preferred type of this man is the one who is frankly fond of good cat. ing and who has welsh rarebit recipe and special way of making salad dressing. Grab man like that the very first opportunity you get, for as husband he is lovely."-Milwau kee Sentinel.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Voted 10 Pay sl,0OO For the
 McKerracher Property.

The board of aldermen held a meeting last night, Chairman Filling presiding.
 A communication was received from City Attorney Kellogg relative to the action taken by the Bar asso- ciation regarding the appointment of ! Q deputy judge and assistant prose outing attorney for the police court, also on the matter of salaries. The communication was accompanied by a new draft of the bill. It favored the proposed additions. The com munication was filed on motion of MT Goss and the bill was laid on the ktable on motion of Mir FitZsimons, with the understanding that copy of the draft and one of the bill for which this is q substitute be forward ed to each member of the board of aldermen.
 A veto was received from Mayor Thoms regarding the action taken in awarding Alexander McKerracher S1,OOO for a strip of land 50x50 at
 
 that considering the fact that under condemnation proceedings the city cannot get d good title to the proper- ty, and suggesting that the amount be fixed at $500 instead of $1 900. The veto was sustained. nobody5'op- posing it except MT Filling. The mayor was then authorized to pay Sl,Oey for the land in case the owner agrees to give the city war ranty deed. IL appears that if the city should buy the land under the order pursued up to date it would revert to Iue original in case it should not be used for school purposes. Alderman Spain reported that strip of land fifteen feet wide and 100 feet deep can be bought of the F. B. Rice Co on Scovill street direct ly east of the engine house for $3,- 900 provided the deal is closed with in fourteen days. MT Fitzsimons thought this high figure and MT Larkin agreed with him. They hint ed at condemnation proceedings. It was finally voted to authorize the board of safety to make MT Rice an offer of s3.000 for the strip.
 A communication was received from the mayor stating that the N. r., N. II. and H. R. R. Co wants to amend the contract with the city so as to admit of some minor changes at the crossing in Oakville The mayor was authorized to sign for such changes as are required pro- vided the railroad commissioners ap- prove them. The following peti- tions were referred to the board of public works: Of the E. J. Manville Machine Go ct al for change of name of Dublin street to Hamilton avenue or some other name suitable to the aldermen of the Eagle Brewing Go, for a sewer in Center street: of the Town Plot Improvement society for the widening of Washington avenue from Bank street to South Leonard street.
 A communication was received from Alfred II. Lane of Thomaston avenue stating that he will claim damages for the loss of COW which was bitten by rabid dog and had to be killed. John Doran, George AL lingham, Morris Applebaum and James Dunn notified the board that they will claim damages for injuries received by falling on slippery walks. These and the COW case were referred to the committe on law. All the recommendations of the board of public works regarding new work were approved.
 The board adjourned until the reg ular meeting in April.

BASKETBALL.
All Watcrburys Easily Defeated the
 Naugatucks,


 The All Waterburys won the chanl- pionship of the Naugatuck valley last night by defeating the Naugatuck basketball team in an almost one- sided score. Injudicious advertising of such an important game kept tho attendance down and scarcely 200 people were in Eagles hall during the contest. The locals started to run away from Naugatuck right from the very start and while the game was a bit rough at times 1t was not the kind of game that lovers of basketball would enthuse over. One point came out during the play that has seldom if ever been seen in basketball game. Selby of the Naug- ducks was fouled just as he was about to throw the ball. He made the baSket sure enough and then on referring to the rules it was found that if a player is fouled as he Is throwing d basket and the ball is caged the side committing the foul is penalized by allowing it's opponent a free try for the basket Naugatuck was accorded this right and the throw was q perfect one, making Naugatuck's score 12. Waterbury had 26 at this time and the game ended in that manner. The lineup and summary:

Ensley, Ala, November b, I5Oi. Col II. F. DeBardeleben, Birmingham:
 Dear Sir-I have heard many expres- sions of approval of your recent letters published in The Age-Herald. warning coming from you ought to be needed py our legislators. This is no time for ex- perimental legislation. We are already confronted by serious conditions, and It will tax our resources to meet them. Then why add to our troubles by attack ing our common carriers-the arteries of commerce?
 It appears to me that sufficient iegls- lation has been enacted to correct any abuses which may exist, and the courts must eventually decide as to the reasoh- ableness of the rates now fixed by laws, already enacted, or which may be passed by the special session of the legislature. It now seems that the special session will be a reality, therefore, we can only trust to a spirit of fairness and patriotism controlling the action of that body. May they see that they have the destiny of our country at stake, and that the wealth or more of our people for years to come depends upon their conservatism. And seeing will rise above petty thoughts of retaliation to a plane of statesmanship
 We need confidence restored just now, more than anything else, and this will come if nothing radical is done by our lawmakers state and national Yours respectfully w. w. S1oRTRIDGE.

AUDITORS REPORT.
Receipts of the State for the Year Are
 $3,975, ,454.33.

Montgomery, November 7.--(Special)- )-- State Auditor w. w Brandon today pre- scented to the governor his annual report, dating from October 1, 1906. to September 30, 1907 The entire receipts of the state are shown to be $3975, .33, or $19s 907. 39 in excess of the revenues of the previous year. The disbursements for the fiscal year were $4,00S, ,S29 61 ,xQr $62S, ,737.66 in ex- cess of the previous Wear.
 The report contains statements of re- ceipts and disbursements from all sources of every character, each item being men tioned, with the name of the person paid to, as well as itemzed statements of all revenues collected and turned over to the state treasurer.
 An itemized statement is made of the excess expenditures over those for the same purpose last year. Perhaps the most intresting item is the cost of the sessions of the legislature, amounting to s104 66S.67, which is largely in excess per diem of any previous year of the meeting of the state legislature, and does not in- clude the acts which took revenues from the state
 The auditor explains at some length the reason for the excesses in expenditures, mentioning each item separataely.

criticise Administration.

Birmingham, Ala, November 4, 1907. H. F. DeBardeleben, Birmingham. Ala.
 My Dear Sir:-I am of the opinion you have expressed in your letters that something should be done and that with out delay. It must be gratifying to many people to see you take the lead In this matter and the entire populace should rally to your support.
 wish that hundreds of petitions could be circulated throughout the state and the signers' names published in the press of the land. The ruinous policy so rigid ly adhered to by our state administration ought to be vigorously sat down on and the state management requested to re- sign. No administration would be far preferable to what we have been treated to for the past few months, and what we are now promised. I hope your warn ing will be needed and without delay and that through your leadership we may yet snatch prosperity from the clutches of frenzied administration, seemingly bent on the destruction of our commercial fabric. Yours very truly,
 J. E. BENNETT.
