A License for Prince.

What's that noise in the hall?'
asked the mayor of his clerk, who had
Just entered the private office.
It's little girl" was the smiling
answer, crying to have an audience
with you, and. of course, the men in
the ante-room won't admit her. She is
protesting rather determinedly, but
guess Officer Mcmahon will soon con-
vince her that this is your busy day"
Tell Mcmahon to let her in at once,
and if she has already gone, you over
take her, clerk, and bring her back"
Clark, somewhat crestfallen, hurried
from the office and the mayor said mus
ingly, "A city father ought to have a
minute or two to spare city child"
You wished to see me?" he asked a
moment later, looking into the tear
stained face of shabbily dressed little
girl.
Yes, sir. please about Prince"
Who is Prince?"
He's my pet. I've had him ever
since he was puppy. and yesterday
the dog catchers took him. They took
him right away from me-" Tears in
terrupted the child, and the mayor,
feeling rather helpless. took refuge in
a semblance of sternness.
m afraid you didn't have a collar
and license for Prince. You know we
all have to obey the city laws"
Yes, sir, and I've been trying to
save money for the license. but it takes
such lot-and father had to borrow
the pennies out of my bank"
He did, did he?" Now the mayors
tone was really stern. What does
your father do?'
Nothing now He was laid off on
account of the tight money trouble, he
says. He's looking every day for a job,
but it's hard to find one | wanted to
work out, but he says I'm too little
and besides, L don't see how he'd get
along without me. There's just us two
and I'm his housekeeper."
"Oh, is that so?" the big mayor
smiled at the tiny housekeeper
We'll. l guess we can get Prince out
of trouble. Here, Clark, you telephone
to the pound that this young lady
what is your name?"
''Margie Brown"
That Miss Margie Brown will call
to claim dog this morning, for whom
we shall have ready a collar and Ii
cense. Now, Margie, Mr.. Clark will in
troduce you to a policeman, who will
show you the way to the pound, where
think you'll find his highness, Prince,
safe and barking"
"Oh, thank you so much, sir, 1 am
That's all right" the mayor spoke
with his usual brusqueness, but as the
child was leaving the room, he called:
If your father doesn't find job today
have him come here tomorrow. l think
by that time 1 may hear of something
the father of Marjorie Brown can do
Then as the door closed. he said TO
himself, with a whimsical smile: Il
suppose the boys down in my old ward
would think 1 was soft-hearted to give
father work, when so many of
them are waiting for easy jobs, but
guess it's my privilege, once in awhile
to be human being instead of a poll
tician.''

GREENBACKS PLENTY
Row of People in Line Last
 Night DeposiiiDg Money.

Yesterday being pay day in the shops, crowds fiocked to the Dime Savings bank last evening and de- posted lots of money. There was no indication of dull times in the big crowd that was standing around the windows of the bank and outside it's doors, too. It was quite evident that there are .ots of people still making good money in Waterbury and more of 1t than is necessary for their needs, else so many people would not have hocked to the bank last evening to deposit portion oe the contents of their pay envelopes received in the shops.
 The Dime Savings bank has rule that keeps it open an hour or two one or two nights in the week and last night was one of them. It is very handy for those who work in shops and stores all day and cannot very well leave their work in the daytime. Yesterday was the second or third pay day since New Years and from the crowd at the Dime Savings bank last evening 1t would seem to indicate that the town is recovering from ,he outlay incl dental to the holidays. The sight of so many people standing in line with greenbacks protruding from between the pages of theiy bank books waiting their turn at the re- ceiver's window caused many to stop on the sidewalk and look on in wonder.

BOARD OF HEALTH
New Members Came Together
 Yesterday and Organized.

The new board of health met foi the first time yesterday afternoon and was formally organized. With the ex- ception of the election of the sanitary inspector and medical inspectors for the schools little business was trans acted.
 The meeting was held in the ma yor's office where the health board always meets. The first business was the swearing in of the members by Clerk James R. Lawlor. The old members of the board are Dr John D. Freney, president; Dr Thomas Bland, Dr Henry E. Hungerford. Robert Mackie and Edward Finn are the new commissioners, succeeding Daniel P. Noonan and Captain Fitzpatrick.
 Dr Bland wished to have the vote for medical inspectors taken by bal lot as he wanted to cast an honorary vote for one of his friends. But as the original motion on the ballot ques- tion was not verbal show down, the voting was by exclamation. The in spectors elected were Dr James A. Grady, Dr c. A. Monagan, Dr John H. Dillon and Dr John K. Farrell, all of whom served under the last board. Edward P. Callahan was again elect ed sanitary inspector the vote being unanimous, the same holding true of Dr Charles Engelke, the citys bac- teriologist. The above named ser- wants of the city were not elected for any definite time but will serve at the pleasure of the board. As the health officers term is four years, his time will not expire for two years more. Dr Keeley, the milk and food inspec- tor, being in for life, the board had no say about his position. The last legislature relieved it of that burden.
 The board will meet the Monday before the first Thursday of every month. Time o'clock in the after noon.

HIS TRIP POSTPONED
Michael Dimuro Will Be Held as Witness in Murder Trial.

Michael Dimuro has been obliged to postpone his trip home to the old country and instead of beg gnning the trip over the ocean this morning he began an uncertain period of deten- tion in the county jail.
 Dimuro is said to be an eye witt ness of the murder of Dominica Vaz- zanni by Demetrio Maesano on Mill street at Vazzanni's home one night last summer. It is claimed by the police that he is the only one in town of the half dozen or more that were, who saw him put his face un. der Vazzanni's and ask him if he, Vazzanni, was going to beat him as he had done month before, and that when Vazzanni said he was, Maesano withdrew to his bed room and in moment or two reappeared with his revolver in his hand and discharged 1t at Vazzanni's abdomen. Vazzanni dropped without uttering word and Maesano took flight, reaching New Haven about dawn next morning.
 The police could not afford to lose such an important witness and when 1t was rumored few days ago that Dimuro was thinking of going nome to Italy for the remainder of the winter, Detective Colesanto got busy and found the report to be true. So last evening the detective ran bang against Dimuro and to his astonish- ment Dimuro asked him if it would not be a good idea to take trip home during the dull times. The detective said it would be great thing and he would give him lift as far as New Haven. He thereupon took the man into custody as witness of the murder mentioned and this morning Dimuro began an uncertain period oi detention in jail at $2 day.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

John B. Mahaney attended the Irish exhibit in New York yesterday.
 Mrs William Darby is visiting friends in Middlebury.
 Patrick Shugrue of Philadelphia is visiting his brother, Jeremiah, of North Leonard street.
 John Johnson of the Scovill street engine house is seriously ill at his home on Bank street. He is threaten ed with pneumonia.
 The Pioneer basketball team will play the T. A. B. team of Thomaston at the B. A. c. rooms this evening. The next games in the basketball league will be played at the club on Monday evening.
 If one were to judge by the num- Der of boys playing marbles, spring is not far distant. The ''miggles" have been much in evidence the past few days and even to-day, while it was showing, there were a few youngsters having game in the lot on Bank street.
 IL 10 ub to tiic oiOohish ihilhpNS- ment society to urge the residents and taxpayers of this section to be on hand at the meeting in the lyceum tomorrow evening when City Engin- ger Cairns makes an address. The en- gneer will undoubtedly be willing to answer all questions put to him after he has finished his address.
 According to Engineer Cairns, if the automatic trap through which the surface water from Bank street goes into the Naugatuck river should fail to work when the river is high, there would be water up to the door of Mahaney's saloon. It was concerning this that k. c. Walker sent com munication to the board of works on Tuesday evening.
 -Patrolman John Dunphy. who has been in St Vincent's hospital for sev- eral weeks suffering from an attack of vertigo. returned home last even- ing. Although he has almost fully re- covered. it is doubtful if he will re- sume his duties on tbe police force i'm mediately. His case was puzzle to the hospital physicians. similar ones being seldom seen. At the hospital they think the patrolman received the injury which caused the attack from either fall or blow on the head.

EFFORTS TO CATCH WALKER.
Treasurer Stanley Tells What tho
 Bank Has Done.

New Britain, Jan 16.-Treasurer E. N. Stanley of the Savings Bank of
 New Britain in his annual report, made statement concerning the | banks part in the efforts to capture William F. Walker, the absconding treasurer. MT Stanley said that after more than nine months Of active and persistent rf.ort. tie whereabouts of 1 William r. Wa!ker former treasurer of this bank. were discovered. and on the fifteenth day of Deccn;ber, at tlle request of the state department at Washington, he was arrested by tlie Mexican authorities and is now in jail at Ensenada awaiting extradi- | tion. The bank has solely and unaided, l in the face of the most unjust and un- called for insinuations in tho press, and on the street, and seriously han- pered many times by the premature publications of over zealous reporters, quietly and resolutely pursued It's quest for Walker to the final end, and now poiutG to the result as an answer to all-"Walker arrested and in jail in Ensenada." The bank still stands ready to as- sist in every way in the proecution of the case. hut it should be distinctly understood that it's power in a',g way to direct or control the proceedings ceased with the arrest of Walker. The evidence was so strong tltat the man under suspicion was Walker and was arrested that J. II. Pease was sent to Ensenada to make proper identif- cation; to endeavor to get information from Walker regarding the bonds and generally to make investigation re- garding Walkers going to Ensenada.
 His companions there, his opera ations and hls whereabouts before go- ing there, all in the hope of getting track of something of value
 Mir Pease's letters do not indicate that he has been successful in locat- ing much of value and his interviews with Walker have been very unsatis- factory.
