But there is another fact to which l
want to call your attention besides the
fecundity of the locusts. 1t is to their
gregarous habits. These seemingly in
significant insects are not hermits.
They do not live alone or travel alone.
They bury their eggs side by side. The
young are Matched out together. They
live together They feed together.
They travel together And as a result
they are not only feared on account Of
their numbers, but they are especially
feared because these swarms OF NOV
ing locusts can never be split up and
separated from each other. Solomon,
the inspired naturalist, wrote that,
though the locusts have no king, they
60 forth in bands. IL the locusts did
not associate together in such great
hict would not be seriously felt, 1t
would be here little and there little.
But when they unitedly move along
and attack a gsrden or a valley or a
forest they literally kill and devour
everything in sight, Why cannot the
Christian reformers of this world learn
q mighty lesson today from the gre
garious Insignificant locusts?
The forces Of evil make no such mis-.
| take as do the children of God. The
saloon never fights the saloon as the
church fights the church. There are
enough advocates OF temperance re,
form in the church today to sweep the
wine sellers out Of existence. What

.MURDEROUS ATTACK
Outsider Appeared Just in Time 10 Receive Two Bullets in
 His Head.

Springfield, Mass, July 5.--James Delahanty is dead as the result of a murderous attack which Maurice Hills of Chicopee made upon his di- vorced wife, Hattie w. Hills, last night, and the woman lies seriously wounded. The murderer is under arrest.
 The shooting resulted from quar- rel over the disposition of farm property in Longmeadow, the title to which was in Mrs Hills's name. and which Mills wished her to sell. While the dispute was going on, James Delahanty, boarder in the house, stepped into the room just at the moment when Hills was firing a revolver at Mrs Hills. Without warning Hills fired upon Delahanty twice, both bullets lodging in the head and causing his death several hours later.
 The police later arrested Hills. He told the officers that he had done the shooting, but did not realize at the time what he was doing, being, he said, crazed with drink.
 Hills was recently employed as an expressman's helper in this city. He was married ten years ago to the woman whom he tried to kill, and they were the parents of three chil- dren, who have been in the custody of the mother since the divorce.

OLDFIELD ARRESTED.
We'll Known Auto Racer Got Money
 Under False Pretenses.

under False PretenSeS.
 Portland, Ore, July 5.-Barney pldfield, the automobile racer, has been arrested and warrant issued Tor E. A. Moross, Oldfield's business lnanager on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. The warrants were issued at the instance of the Evening Telegram and are an Dutgrowth of the automobile contest an this city. Oldfield was released pn $500 ball.
 The information filed by the Tele- gram is vague. but the paper print ed charges that Oldfield and his manager used the name of a local Automobile club for the purpose of |gaining prestige and without the |sanction of the club; that the pro- Emoters of the race meet offered a |card of races when they knew none |of the entries listed intended to par [ticipate and that in general the meet Twas fake. Oldfield denies the accusation em- |phatically. He said to-day:
 Every entry was certainly made Just as was represented on the pro- gram. I was given to understand by my manager that a majority of the board of directors of the local auto mobile club sanctioned the use of their name in connection with the meet on Tuesday. The charge is ab- solutely groundless, as will be proved when the case comes to trial, if it ever does"

Stone Street Man Badly Beaten bl
 Three Men Last Evening.

Cannerillo Biaccio of 95 Stone street is at his home suffering from broken jaw and badly battered face. He says he was attacked by three thugs while sitting on the green last even- ing and was pumelled from head to foot.

His face was such sight that it resembled piece Of beef. He stated that he was sitting en the green last evening when three men came along and proceeded to make them- selves obnoxious. He made some re- ply to them and was immediately set upon. He claims they all took a hand in the punching bee. He declared he thought they would kill him before they resisted. He was sent to the charity department and his injuries were later dressed by pr David. '

MINERS CLASH
One Man Was Killed To-Day When the GUggenheim and
 Bruner Cliques Met
TEN OTHERS INJURED

Seattle, Wash, July 5.-A dis patch to the Post Intelligencer from Valdez, Alaska, says: ~
 One man is dead, another is fatal ly injured, and nine are seriously wounded as the result of first con- fict between the Guggenheim and the Bruner interests at Katalla on Wednesday. The fight is over a right of way which the Bruner forces are protecting.
 The Guggenheim interests station ed armed men at points commanding the disputed ground early in the day. Tony Depascal, in charge of a party of laborers, started out to lay track over the Bruner right of way under cover of a fire from these camps. A brisk fire was opened from Bruner camp but Depascal's men succeeded in capturing the steel "go devil'' on which the Bruner camp had relief to destroy the work done by their op- ponents.
 Representatives of the Bruner in terests are making every endeavor to have Governor Hoggatt order troops to the scene of hostilities.

AN EARLY MAIL.
New Train From New Haven to Wat
 erbury Starts Monday.

Now for the early mail delivery in Waterbury. A new train will leave New Haven Monday morning at 5:30 and is scheduled to arrive in Water- bury at 6:33. This is not quite early enough to meet the situation, but 1t is thought that before long arrange- ments will be made so that the new train will show up in Waterbury any time between 5:30 and o'clock, and probably earlier if desired. To meet the requirements of Waterbury the early morning mail should be in the hands of the post office officials not later than 5:30 o'clock in the morn- ing. This would enable the post- master to put it in possession of the business men and manufacturers of Waterbury as soon as they open their offices, and until this can, be done there will be trouble here. But the new train is step in the right direc- tion and another forward move may be looked for in the near future.

LOOKING FOR A WIFE.
This Man Not Very Particular, But
 He Wants One.

My, what a chance! Girls of Wa
 terbury, stop and read. H. H. Kat
 lin of Terryviile, only 75 years
 young, is seeking a wife. It makes no difference whether she is tall, short, stout or slim, blonde or bru-
 nette, coquettish or quiet. If she is only good goer in double harness.
 MT Katlin, who is sprightly notwith- standing his many years in this
 world, walked into the charity de- partment this morning. Soon the little "bizz" on his chin was moving as he said: 'Tm looking for a wife" It did not embarrass him in the least to tell it. He stated that he had heard there were numerous fair wo- men in the city of brass, so he de- cided to come to try his luck. No one asked him why he stepped into the charity department. It could not be that he thought 1t was a matr1- monial agency. Still he may have been of the opinion that there were some of the city's fairest who were in need of help and might be glad of the opportunity to become his bet ter half. Mir Atwood assured him he would do all in his power to aid him to find running mate. All are requested to send their applications to H. H. Katlin. Terryville, care of A.. w. Cook.

WOMEN IN SALOONS
Side Doors Denounced Senator Hurley Busy on the Ques-
 lion at Hartford.

The temperance people all over the state have been working hard to get a bill through the legislature which would do away with side rooms for women in saloons, but Senator Hur- ley of this city went the cold waters folks one better and offered an amendment to their measure which aims to keep women out of saloons al- together. T don't know how people will look at it." said the senator to a Democrat reporter, Out if I'm not very much mistaken ninety-five per cent of the citizens of Waterbury will say 1t is all right. I never wanted to see women in saloon no matter whether she got in through the front door or effected an entrance in some more private way, so that in my Judgment the best scheme to settle this question is to legislate so as to keep them out entirely. The amend ment will make 1t much more easy to enforce the law and this in itself is worth something. But no matter what way it works I am thoroughly convinced that it is good thing. No man wants to see his wife or his daughter in saloon. ...
 We all know it isn't fit place for them and on a matter of this kind 1t seems to be that there is no use trying to reach the evil by an enactment that only goes about half far enough" If Senator Herley's amendment goes through and the bill as amend ed then receives the approval of both houses, all it will need to ring the death knell of women in saloons will be the signature of the governor Of course it is understood that it is not intended to apply to women who con- duct cafes and hotels. It may be con- sidered rather arbitrary, and it is, to say that woman should be denied the right to enter a saloon and pur- chase a glass of lager. but as the old saw says, desperate cases need heroic treatment, and no doubt this is what Senator Herley intends to go to the root of the trouble.

DEAD AND DYING
Fourth oi July Brings Mourning to Many Families All Over
 the Country
2,153PERSONS INJURED

Chicago, July 5.-The Tribune to- day says thirty-seven men, women and children are dead and 2,153 are maimed, lacerated or burned as re- suit of yesterdays excess of patriot. ism in the United States. The roster of the dead is four more than last years mortality. A year ago thirty three persons were dead on the morning after the Fourth.
 Unfortunately, the death roll will increase day by day, and even the late days of August will witness ad- ditions to it. Tetanus, that grim aftermath of gunpowder wounds, claims its victims by scores and even by hundreds for weeks after the Fourth.
 New York leads all the cities of the United States in the number of killed and injured, while Pittsburg is a close second in the grim race.
 The total number of injured, D. 153, is under last years figures, which were 2,7S9.
 The figures show that this year, as last, the most of the casualties were due to carelessness in handling fire- crackers and other forms of harm less explosives" ....-
 Victims of gunpowder this year stand second in number, but show marked decrease from last years figures. , The figures against the deadly toy pistol seem to be bearing fruit, as this year only g05 victims are re- ported as against BOA last year.
