TANNING ( EXPERIENCING
A HAPPY FAMILY.

A remarkable case. unique in the history of all consular corps of the world, is that of the American con- sul at Gibraltar. Mir Sprague is the third successive generation of his family to hold the post of consul. his grandfather and his father hay ing held 1t before him. For over 60 years has the United States been rep resented by a member of one family. The Spragues are not people of in- ordinately large wealth. either. Their post at Gibraltar Is not SO in- viting as the post in London or Der lin or Paris. Perhaps that is why they have gone along SO nicely as consuls, until bringing up boy In the family to be consul like ia ther Is A habit. Such a fact could hardly occur in representation at the larger cities mentioned. In them 1t has become essential to have men as ambassadors who have consider able fortunes. and Mir Hill. the new man at Berlin. actually goes into his ofsee with some feeling against him because he Is reputed not to have sufficient money to furnish the Germans with all the fine dinners and entertainments that the million aIre Tower gave them when he was in charge. In their smaller field the SprsEues are more secure They ap- psrently don't have to buy their place and have a sort of auction up for it among millionaires annually

GORED BY BULL
Frank Gallagher of the Wolcoit
 Road Had Narrow Escape.

Frank Gallagher, son of Alderman John Gallagher of the Wo!cott road, was badly gored by large bull near his home this morning. Gallagher is now at the Waterbury hospital, and although he has three painful 'gashes on his body, the attending physician does not think that his injuries will prove fatal unless unforeseen compli- cations set it.
 The bull had Gallagher 3n the side of the road and went ct him so yiciously that the few persons wnc saw the accident thought that 1t would gore him to death. Three times it attacked Gallagher and butted him so fiercely that he would undoubtedly have been fatally hurt only he is of sdch powerful build.
 The animal was raised on the Gal lagher farm and Is 4 years old. A few days ago Alderman Gallagher sold the bull, but the purchaser did not call for it until this morning. MT Gallagher was on his way to Wolcott at the time and said he would get the bull on his return. But his son Frank, who has been working on his fathers farm the past three months. said he would get the animal, which has never caused any trouble on the farm. Gallagher brought ihe bull to the gate all right. but then the ami nal began to balk when 1t saw that it was to leave the yard.
 Nevertheless Gallagher by means of the stick attached to rae ring ill the bulls nose had no trouble in leading the animal, and, handing the stick to a man named Mccarthy, whc was to take it along, told him to pull on the stick whenever the bull made any trouble. But the bull was very stubborn and when 1t reached Pine grove, short distance from Gallaghers house, it became very ugly. Gallagher from his yard could see that the animal was cutting up l so he went down the road to try ta straighten out things. Just as he reached there Mccarthy dropped the stick, and es the bull was then free it went at Gallagher Gallagher tried to get hold of the stick, but before he could do so the animal was upon him and sending his head sayagely into Gallagher stomach, knocked him down. As Gallagher lay on the roadside the bull, now most vicious, went at Gal lagher as though he meant to xii him. It might have done so had noi some of the city employees who were working nearby in charge of Fore man Houghton run to Gallagher's aid.
 MT Houghton lifted Gallagher int his carriage and carried him to tho Waterbury hospital. where it wal found that three wounds had beer made on Gallagher's body. One O them was eight inches long and lai open the flesh over the rihs. but mad, no fracture.
 Gallagher has not been in Water
 bury much of the time the past few years as he does much travelling being musician of ability.

Lille Tommy Pryor Drowned in Sight of His Own Home.

A very sad drowning accident oc- cured at noon to-day when Thom- as Pryor, Jr. the 2h-years-old son of Mir, and Mrs James H. Pryor, 567 North Riverside street, was drowned in the Naugatuck river, directly in the rear of his home.. There IS a retaining wall at the end of the lot abutting on the river, and It IS De- Meyed that the child slipped off 1t md into the water while playing. He hadn't been out of the house ,iong when an older brother, Willie, saw the body in the water and shouted to his father who was com ing home to dinner. MT Pryor nur- ried to the spot and jumping lnto the river brought the boy out. He didn't think he was dead because he felt heart pulsations, and promptly set about to render such aid as was possible until Dr Galley arrived. AS soon as the physician saw the cnllu he said life was extinct. Acting Medical Examiner Goodenough viewed the body and pronounced death due to accidental drowning.
 The little fellow had penny when he left the house and this was discovered near where the body lay The water at that point is not deep' but the depth was sufficient to drown child of that size A few years ago MT Pryor came near losing one of the oldest children from drown. ing near the same spot, the incident being recalled now on account oi the tragedy of this noon. The fam iIv have four other children, James willie. Harold and Lillian.
 The funeral will take place at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

RARE MUSICAL TREAT.
The Symphony Orchestra and Schu'
 bert Club Concert.

The public sale of reserved seal tickets for the concert next Tuesda! night of the Waterbury symphony Orchestra and the Schubert cluc opened this morning :t the Rueklng- ham pharmacy. There was a large demand for seats and it is evident that tickets to the capacity of the hall will be sold during the next few days. While this will be the most elaborate concert ever given in wa terbury by local talent, the ,,rices ol seats have been placed at low hg- ure in order to attract as large an audience as is possible in order to demonstrate to Waterbury audi- ence what Waterbury musicians can do. Six hundred seats are to be sold at 50 cents each and the remainder will be 75 cents and $1.
 The engagement of Miss May Louise Stanley, the violinist, has proven a popular move as there are hundreds who were unable to Fear her on the occasion of her recital wne are glad of the opportunity to do SC at the concert and the popular prices make the opportunity much moro general than would be the case wert tickets sold at the high prices cus' tomary in connection with concerts of this kind
 Frederick Weld, the baritone, will greet many friends made at the time when he appeared at the recent May festival in Waterbury with the Dam rosch orchestra. High prices were prevalent at that time and the com ing concert will offer the first op' portunity to hear this popular sing or at a small cost.
 The final rehearsal of the orches. tra has been called by Director Full ton for Sunday afternoon at o'clocS in Buckingham hall. The work oi enlarging the already large stage ." the hall will be commenced to-mor' row. The orchestra of 60 men anc the ladies chorus of over 100 cod stltute the largest number of per formers that has ever gathered at ono time on that stage, with he exec pior of the chorus at the May festival, aLt the enlarging of the stage Is neces sary.
 The programme which has been ar ranged by the orchestra will be surprise to those who have never heard the organization play. The same may be said of the Schuber club. The cantata, "The Garden o Flowers" which the chorus will sing in conjunction with the orchestra will be the featured number of thu programme. The ever popular "Ker " Dance" will be another number by the chorus. This, with the othel numbers. has been rehearsed undel the direction Of R. A.

 Days Pay.

At an adjourned meeting of the board of public safety held yesterday afternoon, Commissioner Minor pre- siding.

sHUTTLES ARE SCARCE.
And the Supply of Dogwood Is Ex-
 hausted in Southern States.

The supply of dogwood and per simmon shuttles in the southern states is nearly exhausted. This statement will not appear significant to the ay- craze man when he first hears it. But when he is told that the entire supply of shuttles, bobbias, and spinG- les used in the cotton and woolen mills in all parts of the country IS furnished by the dogwood and per simmon growing in the southern states, the seriousness of the situa- ton Is apparent. The textile mills Of the country represent capitalization of nearly billion dollars and bob bins, shuttles, and spindles are just as necessary parts of these mills as the throttle is to the locomotive.
 Fortunately the shuttle manufac- turers have found another source of supply in the dogwood stands in the far northwest part of the country. Two large companies manufacturing splndles, shuttles and bobbins have erected plants in the Cascades in Or egon, whose dogwood forests are the greatest in the world the tree often attaining a height of a feet and a diameter of one to two feet. The southern dogwood is rarely more than than G inches in diameter. Extensive stands of dogwood are also found in California and Washington. Up to the present time, lumber users in the Pa cific northwest have found dogwOod valueless except for fuel. and it's util- ization for the manufacture of shut ties will bring about a considerable Increase in stumpage values of this tree
 These companies, at their Oregon plants, will not only manufacture the articles named but will utilize every part of the tree turning to account the waste wood and producing such by-products as pyr0ligneous acid acetic acid. protacetate of iron acetate of lime, methylated spirits solvent naphtha, wood tar, wood pitch and various forms of charcoal. Dog wood is indispensable in the man. ufacture of shuttles. bobbins and spindles because 1t is. the only wood which takes high polish and wears perfectly smooth by friction under water.
 The discovery of the adaptability of the Pacific dogwOod. however, has not aided the eastern manufacturers and they have been obliged to look fol substitutes nearer home. The most promising of these are mesquite and tupelo gum. The wood of the mes quite is heavy and very hard, close grained. and has complete structure It is probable that it would he en- inently adapted for the manufacture of shuttle blocks, as it appears to have all the requisite qualities of weight hardness, and susceptibility to a high smooth polish. Already 1t has proven well fitted for the manufacture of spOols and bobblns for which white birch Is now so largely used. The tupelo gum Is medium hard and heavy and has a compact fibrOus structure It has not yet been utilized to much extent in the textile industries. though it is quite probable it will play an inn portant part in the future, since ii combines with several necessary qual ities and exacting property of wearing smooth by friction.
