Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-01-01
BOARD. OF HEALTH
Beld Last Needing of me Year
 Yesterday Afternoon.

The board of health held It's final
 meeting of the year yesterday after
 noon. There was very little business to transact. but the reports of tho
 health officer, sanitary inspector and
 milk and food inspector were listened to with interest. The members had
 reason to feel elated because of Sani- tary Inspector Callahan informing them that there are seven less cases of tuberculosis in this city than at the same time year ago. This was good news to the commissioners. Health Officer Kilmartin related briefly to the board the movement for the prevention of tuberculosis in
 Waterbury and what the plans of the central committee would endeavor to bring about.
 communication was received from the milk inspector in regard to the suspected case of typhoid fever on the Johnson farm situated on the Upson road, which story was stated in. the Democrat last evening. Dur ing the month Milk and Food In-, spector Keeley inspected 27 dairies, l77 milk cans, 61 stores, Al markets, 23 samples of milk were condemned and several pounds of bob veal con- fiscated.
 Before the board adjourned vote of thanks was given Clerk James R. Lawlor, Milk and Food Inspector Dr Keeley, Health Officer Kilmartin and Sanitary Inspector Edward Callahan.
 The commissioners on the board of health the past two years have pull ed together well. Until Commission CT Fitzpatrick resigned few months ago, the full board was generally present at every meeting. The demo- cratic members Freney, Noonan and Fitzpatrick often leaned toward the measures of the republican side con- posed of Drs Hungerford and Bland, and just so often did the latter agree with their democratic colleagues on important measures. All the com missioners seem to have taken inter- est in their work and it is not likely that any one of them would decline to go back for another year should the mayor see fit to appoint him.

AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF
THE HOME FOR FRIEND
LESS GIRLS

About twenty-five years ago q few
christian women, realizing the need of
a place where the girls of our race
might be protected from the evil in
fuences of an idle street life, formed
an organization which has for its OBJ
ject the care, education, and train
ing of the friendless girls of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
This organization rented several
houses in different places and finally
rented a house situated on what was
then Erie Street, but now changed to
Euclid Street, where the Home is
now situated-I667 Euclid Street, bet.
10th and 18TH Streets, n w, in an
old dilapidated frame building, not fit
fOr habitation and really condemned,
but lack of funds compels US to re-
main in this Home until we receive
aid from you, dear reader.
From the time of opening to the
present, between 800 and 1000 girls
have been cared for and at present
there are Fl inmates.
Mrs. Maria T. Stoddard, a very
benevolent, but not rich woman, made
a sacrifice and gave the Association
a lot just north of Howard Univer-
sity, and We are now endeavoring to
raise sufficient means to erect mod
est building suitable to the needs of
the Home. We hope you will not
hesitate, but subscribe at once.
The l2udable work of this ksso-
citation must appeal loudly to all who
are observant of the condition of
very many of our poor girls, who are
without homes, or the proper environ
ments to develop them into induStri-
Gus and noble women. We trust this
appeal will touch you and that you
will not let such an opportunity to
help elevate the race pass.
Will you aid this deserving cause?
The colored ministers unions of all
denominations has decided to give
Mrs Paynter one Sunday for a col
lection in aid of this home.
There will be an entertainment in
the form of an old fashioned quilting
bee at the residence of Mrs. Paynter.

HAYES is ATTACKED
Congressman's Arrangement Is
Feature of Meeting

An attack on Congressman e. A.
Hayes by State Senator Caminetti of
Amador was the feature of demo-
cratic meeting in the thirty third dis
trict last night. Caminetti, in a speech
on Asiatic exclusion. called President
RooSevelt's message to congress a
criminal absurdity," and laid particu-
lar stress on the statement that the
senators and congressman from Cali
fornia took no steps to protest against
the presidents language.
And l most especially arraign,"
declared Cominetti, the congressman
from this district, who waited until
the whole matter was worn threadbare
before he followed the example of
lovers of liberty or the Atlantic sea-
board and raised his voice for the peo-
pie of California"
The democrats of the district organ
lied a Bryan and Kern club. with II. C.
Flageollet as president; Thomas H.
Greedy. secretary, and William Dolan,
treasurer.
Walter Macarthur spoke on injunc-
tions Caminetti told what Bryan had
done when California was fighting for
Chinese exclusion. Frank H. Gould
also spoke on Asiatic exclusion. Thomas
w. Hickey was expected to address the
meeting, but did not attend.

RIDER GETS AWAY
WITH MOTOR CYCLE

OAKLAND, Oct. 6.-A motor cycle
demonstrator employed by George
Faulkner, a bicycle dealer at 551
Twelfth street, is still wondering al
the extraordinary proficiency displayed
by a prospective purchaser whom he
undertook to teach to ride. Inciden-
tally he is also wondering whether he
will ever again see the new motorcycle
valued at $3.50, on which his pupil was
taking lessons.
A well dressed man entered Faulk-
ners store yesterday and announced
that he wanted to buy a motorcycle
He inspected the stock, chose fine
new $3.50 model, and started out on the
boulevard with the demonstration to
learn how to ride it. After a few in
structions he started off by himself and
handled the motorcycle amazingly well
for beginner. The demonstrator was
SO much pleased with his pupils apt
ness that he advised him to try the
machine out at top speed and see how
he liked it. The pupil took his advice
started out at terrific gait and dis
appeared in a cloud OF dust. He has
not been seen or heard of since, nor has
the motorcycle. The demonstrators is
convinced that he liked 1t.

That Cupid can fire his shafts even

of Stanford's women students, under
whose susceptible eyes the catalogue
of Spalding & Co. fell some weeks
ago. The girl, whose name has not
yet been ascertained. found In its pages
the picture of one Wilson Of the Uni
versity Of Kentucky. to which she i'm
mediately lost her heart. She addressed
letter to Wilson. but as no student
of that name happened to be enrolled
In the eastern university, the letter
was forwarded to Governor wilson,;

Kentucky friends of students here who
heard of the affair.

ing his acquaintance when she goes

did not care to answer the letter, he
was asked to give the letter to some
one who might.
For various reasons the episode has
awakened great interest on the campus.
and there is a fair possibility that the
writer may be discovered, especially II
the original document is returned. Sus-
picion has already narrowed down the
field of possibilities. and amateur de-
tectives at the college are determined
to place the responsibility on the right
shoulders.
