THE POOR "cOPS."

They are to be pitied. If you think otherwise just loiter around center square short while and watch the blue coated, brass but toned, great I ans keeping tabs" on people driving faster than they should over the croSswalls. One day the fire alarm sounded and the 'cops' got right onto their jobs making sure that the hose wagon wouldn't run over anyone. Just then lady started 70 cross the street with her push buggy and oc- cupant. She ran almost plump up against a ''cop." He turned quickly, but 10, it was lady with Gas he put it) her kid. He told her she must go easier while driving vehicle on the crosswalks. Just then the fire horses came along lick-id-split and she turned on the '.cop" and wanted to know why those horses were al lowed to go so fast; it would be only a minute lost, and make them walk across the center. We'll, the "cop" had to take his medicine or else pull her in. She would have been there yet only TOT coupe oI nouh honks' that came along and fright ened her away; but some of the on- lockers think she's talking yet. It's well for that lady that the cop is a tea and coffee drinker else he would have got nervous and quick tempered; then it would be behind the bars for her. This shows that anyone who wishes to be calm and not irritable should always drink nothing more stimulating than nice tea, coffee, cocoa or buttermllk, and the quality we sell is the O. K. kind.

The citadel of Quebec is the most impreg- nable fortress on the continent of America. The view which it com msnds is one of the most magnificent in the world. and the scenery in it's neighbOrhoOd. amid which are the falls of Montmorenci. imports an ad- ditfonaI attraction to the city. 4 very considerable number of promg- nent residents of Waterbury were born in Quebec. or its immediate vi- Ciuity. and many of them have gone to attend the celebration. and others will Iesev this week Others than French Canadians and natives Of that place are among the tourists Among those who have gone on the trip are:

SAVED BOYS LIFE
We'll Known Young Men Pulled
 YouDgsler From Racewsy.

George Lane and William Vance, drivers for the Adams Express Go, did very heroic act Saturday after noon when they saved Tony Musante of Bank street from drowning in the raceway near the old Bank street sta- tion. Musante with couple of other boys went into the raceway when it started to rain, expecting it to prove good shelter. It was for a time but when the storm became heavy the water began to rise and the boys saw that their escape would soon be shut of. The youngsters with the excep- tion of Musante. succeeded at length in getting out of their perileus posi- tion, but Tony waited so long that when he came to get out, he found that he could make no headway against the water. The other boys, realizing the danger of their compan- ion, ran and summoned Lane and Vance who happened to be loading their wagons near the office at that time.
 Vance went into the water, think ing that he would have the strength to pull the boy out and carry him to place of safety. But the water by this time was too much even for Vance. It looked as though young Musante would surely drown as the water was up to his neck and still rising. But Lane procured rope, threw it to the boy who tied it around his waist. He then with the aid of Vance who had left the race way when he saw he could be of no use to the boy at that point, pulled Musante to the shore. He was almost exhausted from fright and from hanging to the top of the bridge. But after few minutes rest he was him. self again and scampered away with his clothes wringing wet.

 John Sharp of Middlebury was res cued from drowning at Quassapaug by Arthur H. Young of this city, a bartender in the employ of J. W. Hod- son & Bro, and Roy Buel, a foreman On the new Westover school, now be- ing built in Middlebury. Sharp fell into deep water by accident and would have drowned were it not for the efforts of Young and Buel. The accident happened opposite S. A. Bronson's and as soon as MT Bronson saw the upset he hurried around and secured help. It is likely that Young and Buel will get Carnegie medals and if so it is hard to see why Mir Bronson should not be remembered, too.

SPRINGFIELD DRY
 FOR TEN HOURS

Spriuotield. Mo-. Aug. With the thermometer we'll up in the 9os Springfield was today without water for fire protection and domestic use for nearly ten hours. The 24-inch sup ply pipe near the pumping station, four miles from the city, broke at :, o'clock this morning and it was nearly ten hours before it was finally repaired. The Frisco shops and the great majority of the mills and fac tories were compelled to shut down during the time.
 The supply of water ill the reservoirs and standpipes was soon exhausted as the result of the accident, and the 3o,- 900 inhabitants of the town were com pelled to go without water or to haul it from the wells, lakes and cisterns just outside the city.
 The great majority of the hotels and restaurants were compelled to serve cold meals to their guests at the noon hour.
 The water supply was restored late this afternoon and the water company, in order to guard against repitition of such a breakdown, has put force of men at work installing a third larger supply pipe.

EDISON WILL
 NOT WORK HARD
Wizard of MenIO Park. Who Has AC cumulated q Fortune of x1355. GOO. .(t(O. Proposes to Devote the Res! of His Life to Pleasure and Research.

New York. Aug. 4.-Thomas 4. Edi- son has begun to sratify an ambition laboratory at Llewellyn, N. J.. will see comparatively less of him henceforth.
 Nlr. Edisons ambition haa been to give himself rowing commission into pure science and 10 steer clear of commercialiSm. He does not want to increase his fortune He has S25, 5,0OO,- 900, which he thinks is more than enough. All of his life he has been tuning out money-makinS inventions. lie will now devote his remaining years to investigation of anything that :trikes his fancy. without regard to it's financial productiveness.
 It is learned that the man who has achieved many marvels ill electric ity has a greater love for chemistry than electricity. Chemistry was the first science to captivate his wonderful
 Intellect, but he has never had a chance to dig as deep into it's mys- teries as he wanted to. Now, he pro- poses 10 give himself the chance
 Moreover he is going to take life more easily. He has promised his fam fly and friends to give up slavine night and day, Sundays and holidays in his laboratory. Not onlN that, but iio is going to take jaunts about and see some of the rest of the world He has bought himself a rjace in Florida where he will spend a couple of months in the late winter and early |spring next year.
 Toward the end of this month he is going with his wife on months trip to the Pacific coast He will stay there a month if the fancy strikes him
 Instead of being in his laboratory yesteray he was fun-m making with some friends down on Ion Island where he went Friday to spend three ldays.

HARTMAN ON
 RATE ADVANCE
Railway King Says Roads Are Under. paid for Character of Service They Are Giying-FayOrs Realjustment Rather Than a General Advance.

Chicago, H., Aug. 4.-"The Ameri- can people ought to be willing to pay the railroads proper compensation for proper transportation service, such a service as we are now performing and for which we are not receiving an adequate return.
 This was the reply which Edward il. Hartman made here today to a question on increased freight rates If the railroads are to go on eXtend- ing their lines, improving the ones ment to take care of the business of the country,' he continued, they have got to get more revenue. I am not in flavor of cold, horizontal increase in rates"
 Mr. Hartman seemed to favor re- adjustment of the rates rather than la general increase.
 Do you think he was asked
 that the present is an opportune time in which to increase freight rates?' essY
 Any and all times are opportune to do what is right and what should be done."
 What effect upon the business of the country do you think an increase in freight rates, such as you would favor would have?'
 "The added transportation cost to the shipper or the consumer would be so small as not to be noticed by either, but would enable the roads to begin buying supplies and maintain good service. 1t would also benefit those who are opposing it.
 Asked what he thought of the oper- ation of the Hepburn act, MT. Harri- man replied: "Regulation of the rail- roads is all right, provided that it be accompanied by adequate protection In the present instance regulation is not accompanied with protection" Mr. Hartman was asked if he ap- prehended any trouble from the Inter- state Commerce Commission or from public sentiment on account of his en- trance into Wheeling and Lake Erie affairs He replied: II do not see why there should be any trouble or

RARE ADDITIONS
 ALTAR FURNISHINGS

New York. Aug. 4-Another rare addition has just been made 10 the al ttar furnishings of the Church of the Tfanstiguration, popularly known as The Little Church Around the Cor ner, this being some exquisite an l )tique Spanish lace which once belong ed to the late Marchioness DeMont- Calm. It was presented to the church in memory of his mother by the young Marquis DeMontCalm.
 Rev Dr. Houshton was delighted with the gift and expressed his pleas ure in a letter received by the marquis yesterday. The rector of the church said that he hoped to make use of the r. lace as an altar decoration very soon. He requested the young nobleman to send the. date of the marchioness death, adding that it would always be remembered at the church.
 There are two pieces of the lace,
 the wider one measuring about ten inches in width and three yards in lenoth. while the narrower lace. matching it in design and mesh is a trifle shorter and not more than four Or five inches in width. It has been in the MontCalm family many gen. erations. and the clover pattern
 wrought on the Spanish net with its heavy rose leaf border is one that probably cannot be duplicated any where.
 Paul Louis Joseph DeMontCalm is
 entitled to call himself Marquis De- MontCalm. Count DeSaint Veran and Viscount DeCandiac. if he wants to,
 though he prefers plain Mir. Mont
 Calm. He lives at present in Hack
 ensack. N J.. having moved there
 since his mothers death in Brook l lyn last November.
