THE SCHOOL RULES.
Committee Now Working on Them
Increase in Salaries.

The committee on rules of the board
of education has good rule in store
for new school teachers. The commit
tee calculates upon being able to make
some kind of a report at the meeting
OF the board to be held next Monday
evening. The principal change in the
rules to be recommended is one which
will concern new teachers only. At
present the rules provide that teach
er shall have taught two years before
she becomes entitled to an increase in
salary Of $40. She enters at $500 a
year and after two years she is al
lowed $40 more. The new rules will
reduce this period of waiting for an
increase one year. Thus the new teach
er, under the proposed rules, will be-
come entitled to an increase begin
ming the second year of teaching. All
Of the other proposed changes merely
strengthen the rules, reduce their YER
bosity, and give them vitality and
power At least, such is the intention
Of changing them.

]. M. BURIAL DEAD
Was Walerbury's Oldest Citizen
and Business Man.

John M. Burial died at $3.50
O'Clock this morning at his home on
Church street after a short illness.
Mr. Burial was born in Canaan on
January s, 1917, and was therefore
over 81 years of age. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools at Ca
naan and at the Hartford academy.
At Hartford he learned the cabinet
makers trade and worked at the
business for four or five years in
the Capitol city, when he removed
to Plymouth and remained there I'M
til 1849, when he came to Water
bury and formed a partnership with
George Root, and opened a furniture
store on East Main street under the
firm name of j. M. Burial & Co. In
1852 Mr. Burial erected the build
ing at 60 Bank street, where the fur
niture and undertaking business of
the firm has since been carried on
and where he was a familiar figure
until about two weeks ago, when he
was taken ill. He was the oldest
and most successful merchant of
Waterbury and was held in the high
est esteem by all who had business
relations with him. In addition to
being a pioneer in the business af-
fairs of Waterbury he was also one
of the Oldest directors of the Water
bury National bank, having been con-
nected with it over thirty-fve years.
He was also director of the Wa
terbury Savings bank. He was not
much of politician, but he repre-
sented the republican party for
time in the court of common council
and on the board of compensation.
Mr. Burial was twice married. His
first wife was Mary l.. Coley, who
died in 1889. In 1894 he married
Mrs Mary j. Bunnell, who survives
him. He also leaves one son by his
first wife, Charles w. Burial of this
city. Mr. Burial was also the father
of Edward M. Burial, for many
years connected with the American
Ring Co. A brother, George Burial

Toledo Jurist Sent Self to Workhouse
.., to Accumulate Experience.

Toledo Jurist Sent Self to Workhouse
,.,. to Accumulate Experience.
Dressed in the regulation garb Of a
workhouse prisoner, Police Judge
James Austin, Jr., Of Toledo, O., re-
Gently spent four hours saving ice on
the creek adjoining the workhouse
with other inmates of the penal insti-
tuition in order to get an idea of how
the prisoners he sentenced to the work
house lived, says Toledo special dis
patch to the New York World
After he completed his police court
docket the other morning Judge Austin
tried himself on a charge of disturb
ance. He pleaded guilty and was taken
to the bull pen where prisoners are held
awaiting the issuing of commitment
papers. Court Clerk Price made out
the papers which allowed Judge Austin
to be taken to the workhouse, to which
institution he had sentenced himself.
At ii a. m. the entries were made, the
commitment papers issued, and Judge
Austin was handcuffed together with
three other prisoners and conducted to
the patrol wagon. - ~.
The wagon reached the island short
ly before noon, and Judge Austin went
through the entrance ceremony with 9TH
er prisoners. his name being entered on
the books and he being assigned to cell.
He ate dinner with the prisoners and
was then locked up in a cell for an
hour, while the guards and prison off,
Gals ate their meals.
After they were through Judge Aus
tin was made to shed his citizens
clothes and put on the regulation work
house uniform. He did this and was
then assigned to the ice saving gang on
the creek. Four hours Judge Austin
worked at the saws, and when told
his time was served he said: Those
were the longest four hours I ever put

A Sabbatarian Doa.

Zip was an Irish setter-his name
was really Tlpperary and Tip for
short" said a New York clubman.
HE knew when it was Sunday. and he
kept the day. He was the only Sab
batarian dog ever knew. He used
to sleep on a rug In my room. ! had
to keep early hours in those days. and
every morning at o'clock Tip would
put his cold nose against my face and
remind me that 1t was time to go to
work. Then while ! was dressing he
would go to the village postofice and
bring home the mail On Sunday
morning he never stirred OF his rug
until was good and ready to get up.
which was usually quite late. and moth
ing could induce him to go to the post
Office on that day. And the best part
of the story Is Il Is absolutely true

A UNION OF CHURCHES.
Anslicans, Episcopalians and Catholics
May Merge, Archbishop Says.

May Merge, Archbishop Says.
Philadelphia, Feb. Incorporate I'M
lon of the Church Of England and the
Protestant Episcopal church in this
country with the church of Rome was
recognized by Archbishop Ryan as a
possibility of the near future. The
archbishop thought he could discern a
tendency in that direction, and he
seemed to regard the idea favorably.
His opinion was expressed specifically
In connection with a movement toward
Roman Catholicism made In New York
by some priests and laymen of the
Protestant Episcopal church, but In a
general way he believed there was a
trend Of the kind on both sides Of the
water.
1T is continuation" said the arch
bishop, ''of movement that has been
going on for some time in England
aiming at reunion with Rome. The
movement existed here before the
adoption of the open pulpit canon.
but the passage of that canon seems
to be Fastening 1t.
"In the time Of Cardinal Manning.
before he became a Catholic, there was
movement in England, when a num-
Der Of clergymen, Manning among
them, declared that IL the supreme
power Of the English church-namely,
the queen and privy councll-should
declare that one need not believe in
baptismal regeneration and yet could
continue in the ministry of the Estab-
lished church Of England they would
withdraw from the latter body. And
they did so. Many, among them Cardi-
nal Manning. left the English church
and became Catholics"

At the Opera House.

The Williams Comedy Co. have
been playing here this week and the
patronage has been very good con-
sidering the inclemency of the
weather. This is company of
clever people and their plays should
receive large patronage wherever
they go. MIR. r. P. DeGafferelly,
the proprietor, is a courteous and
pleasant man as well as fine actor.
The performances are clean and up
todate, the specialties are new and
spicy, and each member is we'll
adapted for their respective parts.
Dick Mason is clever comedian
and his stunts keep the audience in
a continuous uproar. Little May
Blossom Williams is a peach" and
will some day become star" in
the theatrical world. The Williams
sisters are well known to the people
of Union and are always we'll re-
eeived. Marie 5, DeGafferelly, in
THE Unwritten Law" made quite
a hit here; she is a fine actress and
deserves high place in the theatri-
cal field. AS a whole this company
ranks among the best and should be
given liberal patronage wherever
they go.
Don't forget the matinee Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock. A Ted
dy Bear will be given to the child
holding the lucky number
