BROWNLOW'S NEPOTIs.I.
He and Family Hold 10 Offices and
 Draw Annually S16,10O.

Washington. April 9.-During visit to the White House yesterday, where he called to introduce some friends, Representative Hale of Ten nessee made highly sarcastic state ment in regard to his colleague. Representative Brownlow. Both congressmen are republicans but they belong to warning factions. Mir Brownlow has charged that the fed eral oficeholders in Tennessee who are identified with the Hale faction have been unduly active in the re- cent political conventions. This is the way Representative Hale hits back:
 "The complaint that federal office holders in Tennessee are controlling state politics is really laughable and is not true. The last state conyen- tion had fewer federal officeholders in it than has been known in the last 20 years. It is funny, too, for Mir Brownlow and his people to be talking of officeholders. as a glance at the records will show. Mir Brovnlow, the head of this com bination, draws sT.500 a year as q member of the house: as a member of the board of governors of the soldiers homes of lIIe United States and as secretary of the board he gets s2.000 a year.

LAWYERS COMPLAIN
Say There is NoibiDg Doing in
 Waterbury al Present.

This republican prosperity which the country is wriggling under has struck the lawyers of Waterbury. They say there "ain't nawthin doin'" and things are surely dull Tor them. Further than small affairs nothing has taken place in law in some months. But the constables are busy. This republican. prosperity which seems to have put everything and everybody on the verge of 1n- solvency, has made things hum Tor the constables. Small store keepers and tradesmen such as tailors and cobblers appear to be unable to meet their rent bills, and pay or out they go is the order. Then the constable appears on the scene with a writ. Half a dozen keepers were put in small stores this morning because the storekeepers were unable to pay their rent. While the constable allows the debtor to do business there is some chance of him collecting the bill, but once the doors are closed it is the end. Small writs do not make the lawyers busy and they wish Roose- welt would take a hint and keep still for few months until things warm up.
 The lawyers say they never re- member such dullness i'll their busi' ness and they cannot explain why the times should affect litigation or peoples tempers, for when people keep their temper everything is love- ly and there is no law. It would seem then that dull times keep peo' pie quiet.

COLOR LINE IN WATERTOWN.
Company Refuses to March to the
 Music of Negro Band.


 Utica, April 9-The board of man. agers of the Watertown Chamber or Commerce is embarrassed by the at titude of regiment in the Thirty ninth Separate Company of the city, which refuses to march next Friday in honor of Governor Hughes if they are led by the colored band of the twenty-fourth Infantry. The twenty fourth regiment is a negro regiment recently returned from the Philippines and two battalions of the organiza- tin are quartered at Madison Bar racks, adjacent to Watertown.
 They are the first colored troops to be located there. and after their as- signment to Madison Barracks much influence was exerted to have the or der amended and the negroes sent to some other post, but in vain. A con siderable element in the community feels deep resentment toward the War Department ns result and the revolt of the National Guardsmen in refus- ing to march to music furnished by the colored regiments fine band is the first tangible evidence of this race sentiment.
 The committee in charge of the ar engagements of the governors recep- ton will probably engage a band of white musicians.

TO FEED CHILDREN.
Entire Community of Flushing in Race to See Who Can Do Most.


 Race to See Who Can Do Most.
 New York, April 9.-One woman has so far succeeded in stirring up the interest of the people of Flush ing, l.. l., in the unfed children or the public school that the entire community has risen to the emer- gency. Merchants and society girls have alike rendered their aid, ana so far has the movement advanced that the establishment of settle ment house is imminent.
 Miss Alice M. Fully on February II started a modest little lunch room for the hungry pupils who were losing educational opportuni- ties through lack of food. It was the baker who rendered the build ing at No 75 Union street for the purpose, and when a practical dem onstration of the need of the work was given in the monday rush by the ravenous little pupils everybody grew excited The coal man sent in fuel.
 The gas company supplied the gas gratis; the stove dealer presented Miss Fully with a range. It became matter of personal pride to have some hand in it. All sorts of things were contributed for the daily food and money was generously given, so much so that on April 1, with a rec ord of 2,754 children fed, $40 still remained as the balance i'll the bank. A family of five, whose e-ther was in the penitentiary and the mother struggling to make ends meet, and other pathetic cases were unearthed at every lunch hour. The society girls who came to offer help found the children ill-clad and saon clothes were being furnished.
 Those of them who can pay give one penny each. To show their good will Miss Fully has 500 pennies, and some of the public school teachers have had other funds given them The lunches are given only with the proviso that each child entertained attends school.
 On school days the attendance has been from sixty to ninety; on Sat urdays about twenty-five have come | to be fed. These often bring thei; baby sisters or brothers. and it is in their interest that the settlement house has been projected. An en deavor is now being made to obtair a building opposite the lunch room for this purpose.

RIOT AT NEW HAVEN.
Police Clubbed Men Who Refused tG
 Move When Requested.

New Haven, April 9.-In riot which followed the refusal of crowd of Italians to move from in front of a new Nicolet at Grand ave- nue and Hamilton street. last> night, eight were arrested by the police and one of them. Antonio Santinore, who was fined in the police court yester- day morning for breach of the peace, was badly done up. He put up a fight, and in the tussle with Patrol men Walsh, Rose and Roach, his head was split open either " club or by a fall against corner of the building. Accounts differ.
 The crowd had gathered expecting to see the opening of the new Nicolet. The opening was postponed, however, but they hung around and blocked the sidewalk until the police was called. Walsh, Rose and Roche ar rived in squad and ordered them to move on. Meeting with jeers and stubborn refusals, they drew their clubs and pitched into the gathering. An exciting scene followed in which eight Italians were taken prisoners. A big crowd gathered, completely blocking the thoroughfare. The pa troI wagon was sent to She spot on the gallop and the octette of prison CTS was hustled to the lookup. All but Santinore were charged with blocking the sidewalk. He was held for resistance to the police.
 Santinore's arraignment in the po- IatT aitt.x fnr lowering a macaroni bowl on the think tank of a fellow lodger, who spent five days in the hospital as a result. He was lined $15 with costs. and paid up. Something more sub- stantial will probably be awarded him to-day.

he has shown in his work commended
him to the committee that made the
selection.
mi. Hall, chairman of the Demo
cratic committee of Nebraska, is at
the head of one of our banks, and is
thoroughly acquainted with boil pol
itics and business. 1 need not add that
his selection to this position is very
pleasing to me. We hav worked to-
gether in politics ever since 1 ven

Governor Haskell, the treasurer,
is one of the new men, but he has
made good as a leading member OF
the constitutional convention of Okla
CHINA and as governor. His organizing
ability will be valuable to the commit
tee. His selection as treasurer is es-
pecially appropriate, because he
comes from the only state in which
depositors are absolutely secured, and
the Democratic platform has a plank
advocating the adoption of a national
system similar to hat now in opera
