AT PARTRIDGE COTTAGE.
Forty-Two Children From Newington
 Home Enjoy Outing There.

New Haven, Aug 7.-Playridge cottage at Woodmont, belonging to the Children's Aid society, is a busy and happy place these days. The last week in July forty-two children from the Home for Incurables at Newing- ton enjoyed an outing there, and there were also in the party two blind women from this city who were sent there by the Good Samaritan chapter of the Kings Daughters. 0w- Ing to the scarlet fever epidemic at the home in Newington last winter it would have been impossible to have sent the children from the Home for Incurables to Playridge cottage had not Dr Bacon of New Haven and oth- CT friends sent generous checks to the Children's Aid society that the work might not be curtailed. Miss Jose phine M. Griswold, secretary of the society, was therefore able to arrange the trip, much to the pleasure and profit of the children.
 The bathing gave the little folks the most pleasure, for they displayed scruples and would not bathe or wade on the Sundays they were at Wood mont. Other provision had been made for washing the dishes. but the chill dren appreciated the outing so much that they insisted on doing them after each meal.
 In the evening just before bedtime the children gathered and sang their school songs and other favorites. The vacation brought much health to the children and they returned sunburn- ed and in fine spirits. They were fol- lowed at Playridge by party of New Haven children.

PAYING TWO FARES
Result of BaviDg Our Laws
 Made ln RarIiord.

Alderman Lawlor of the fourth ward stirred up quite hornets nest when he called for an an opinion on the right of the trolley company to charge two fares for one contin- uous ride in Waterbury. While the city attorney claims that they have no right to collect two fares and the company has been so notified they haven't taken the slightest notice of it and they won't unless they have to. Mayor Thoms was asked to-day If he had taken any steps to see that the contract between the city and the company is lived up to and replied as follows:
 AS soon as the city attorney re- turns, he will receive instructions to proceed against the Connecticut company in proper action to com pei it to reduce its fares within the Town of Waterbury to what we be- lieve is the legal limit, five cents. The people of Waterbury are now paying for the actions of their re- presentatives in the legislature in allowing the trolley interests to load their roads with oceans of water in their capitalization. If the state of Connecticut had a public service commission, live railroad commission, or general assembly that would stand back of governor like Woodruff, these things would not be so.
 Whether there is cause for it there is general feeling that the company is not using the public right, notwithstanding that the city government shows a disposition to use them right. Car fare in Wat erbury is higher than on the con- pany's lines in other towns. Some say this is due to the fact that the company knows by experience that it can do what it pleases here and get influential men to stand back of it and others contend that the excessive rates are a sort of re- taliation for alleged unfair treat ment and there you are.

 Whether the visit of Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou to the president or his visit to Chairman Hitchcock in New York has any sig. nificance, in view of the fact that MT.
