FIRE AUTOS
Gave Good Exhibition of What
 They CeuId Do Yesterday.

The fire on Sylvan avenue yester- day morning gave the public an op' portunity to see the merit of the au- to machines and they worked so well many remarked that it would pay to have more of them and do away with the building and equipping of expensive houses in the outside districts. The box was pulled at tho corner of Luke street and Sylvan avenue and few seconds later Cap tain Cavanaugh and his men were rushing up the street at top speed. They had scarcely reached the fire when Chief Snagg came along at the speed of whirlwind and spun around the corner of Luke street almost on the heels of Captain Cavanaughs horses. When the ma- chine halted at Washington street and Sylvan avenue the other auto truck with twelve men aboard was just coming onto the ground, the chauffeur heading up Washington street instead of going to Luke street. On the way it stopped to pick up couple of firemen, who were at church when the alarm was sent in and left hurriedly to take part in the battle. When such time as this can be made it does seem that if the department had all the apparatus 1t wants of the motor pat tern the city would be we'll protect ed no matter how far they might be removed from the scene of confagra- tions. Of course it takes time to get sufficient number of such ap- paratus, but 1t would be wise to keep adding to them until the department is in position to send such ap- paratus into different sections of the city whenever the occasion might de- mand their service. It was good day for the machines to show what they are capable of doing and they took advantage of 1t. There were very few teams on the streets and with an unobstructed view for a considerable distance ahead there was no danger in giving them full rein.

PECULIAR FEATURES OF INSANE

One of the most peculiar features of insanity is that occasionally one faculty, either sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch, is extraordinarily acute. Certain insane persons, in- sensible to every other impression, \ have pronounced taste for music and can retain an air which they may have heard but once Others have recollection of form and color and display an aptitude for drawing while more frequently one may meet with an inmate of an asylum who has a special memory for figures, dates, proper names and words gen. erally. There is case on record, for instance. of an imbecile who, at 27, had such an extraordinary mem ory that he could solve the most diff. ficult problems in arithmetic and al- zebra, and repeat word for word long poems after once hearing or reading them. In another case boy of four teen, with a defective brain, who had the greatest difficulty in learning to read, could, if allowed two or three minutes to run over page printed in a foreign language, or treating of questions of which he was ignorant, repeat the words from memory as correctly as if the book had been lying before him. Very cu- rlous was the case of another man in a certain parish. who could remem- Der the day when every person had been buried in the parish for thirty five years, and could repeat, with un- varying accuracy, the name and age of the deceased and mourners at the funeral And yet he was a complete fool, and outside the line of burials he had not one idea, and could not give an intelligent reply to a single question. or even be trusted to feed himself.

SHOT BY WARDEN
LoUis Bull of Prospect Now al
 Waterbury Hospital.

Louis Hull of Prospect. who was shot Saturday by Thomas Wylie of Southford, game warden, while hunting near Cheshire, is still at the Waterbury hospital but his condi- tion is not serious. A large number of shot were removed from Hull's body this morning and the man s condition is much improved.
 Hull was snaring cartridges, which Is violation of the law, when he was caught by Wylie. The game warden claims that Hull had just removed bird from snare when he spotted him. He believes that Hull was about to reach for his gun and would have popped him had he not got the drop on him. He laid him low with a barrel of small shot. Wylie then went some distance to get drink for Hull but the injured man was gone before Wylie returned.
 Hull roamed through the woods and at length in a weakened condi- tion reached the Cheshire trolley tracks. He went to the office of Dr Dennison where his injury was dress ed and later came to this city to the Waterbury hospital Dr Castle dur ing the past two days has taken many of the shot out of HulPs groin.
 Wylie claims that he and Game Warden David Walker of Highland avenue have been laying for Hull for some time. They claim he has been violating the law and that they were waiting to get him with thc goods. Nevertheless there is much comment over the shooting and in all proba- bility if Hull's friends cared to push the case warrant would be issued for Wylie's arrest
 Hull may be arrested when he leaves the hospital. There Is much feeling because of the manner in which the game wardens have been acting during the season and many think the fee system should be abol- lshed as it is big incentive to the wardens to bring in prisoners at any cost.

After his marriage he went into the milk business and remained in this few years. Soon after the trouble between this country and Spain MT Hylan's sense of enterprise saw a great opening for a new start In life in Porto Rico and there he went. Very soon there was first class and most remunerative occupations for the adventurous American there and in short time MT Hylan be- came identified with either the city po'iSe VI Cdu Juuh VI ChC hoipoi guards, which, there is some doubt about. But he is now said to be a captain in whatever arm of the Island force it is. At all events he has not been in Waterbury since he left in 1905 as alleged
 Thomas J. Jones has sought to sever the national bonds between him and his wife Jane Jones, whose maiden name was Owen. MT Jones sets forth in his complaint that his marriage to the defendant took place in October 1890 and that on divers dates between 1904 and the present his wife has been guilty of acts of intolerable cruelty. The custody of one child is involved.

 A case against Thomas Hanley for theft of horse blanket was also continued. Hanley was found on the streets yesterday morning with the blanket tucked under his right arm. An owner for the blanket has not yet been found.
 The same disposition was made of case against Savino Perriello. He is said to have had some words with his bosom friend Rocco Calo as the latter was passing his store on West Main street yesterday.

 A case against boy named Alfred : Galley, IS, was put over to to-mor- row.

The boy was without counsel and 1t was remarked by the court that he seemed friend less and the case did not look right to him. Assistant Prosecutor Me- Grath said that was the way the case seemed to him. too, and he merely wished to find out what there was to it. It was continued to to- morrow, the police to investigate meanwhile. Notwithstanding the short time the boy has been in this country he can speak the language very we'll.

proper and ftting that should
take advantage of the occasion on
behalf of the people of the youngest
and the greatest state of the Union,
to thank the members OF the house
and senate. who. by their votes
struck from us the shackles of ter
ritorialism and clothed us in the
vosture Of American citizenship
While It is true that statehood was
a long time coming to us. and while
when it did come It was upon con

demanded Of the people Of any
territory, as the price Of admission

for so long time had we borne
the burdens of territorial form OF

was flashed to us that oklahoma,
the land of the Fair God. was at

right which had for SO long time
been denied to us, that mighty
shout of joy went up all over our

Continuing. Mr. Fulton spoke of
