ELECTRIC LIGHTS
People Who Install Lamps May
 Have 10 Pay Bills.

There is danger of scrap oveB the placing of electric lights this year. A few people took time by the fore lock and had lights installed last year with the understanding that they would pay for them themselves up to the opening of the new year, and then take their chances of having the lights paid for in the usual way. When the matter was introduced last night Mayor Thoms said that it was up to the lighting committee. The commit tee has not considered the matter at all and 1t is not known how they will look at it, but in case the same thing should happen towards the close of the present year and then repeat it next fall, and so on, new boards and new petitions would never have show. In the past, some work was done on this plan regarding the extension of water mains, but it got to be an abuse and in time it was pretty hard to get permission to- do work that way. or course this is nothing that the old board is to blame for. They promised the parties nothing so that in case things don't go their way they will not be in a position to say that anybody played them false.

Three Councils, Knights of Col.
 umbuS Held Open House.

The first public installation of off cers of the Knights of Columbus il this city took place last evening 1T their hall on East Main street. As il was an open meeting more than 30( were present, the members bringing their wives and friends. It was a joint installation of the officers ol Sheridan, Hendricken and Mulcahy councils and was big success.
 The opening remarks were made by Francis P. Guilfoile, grand knight of Hendricken council. He introduced District Deputy John M. Hearns of Naugatuck, who supervised the in, stallation.
 | As the Daughters of Isabella were the guests of the occasion, Mrs James ORourke, district deputy of this or | ganization made few remarks. After the installation there was dancing and card playing which was much enjoyed. Murray hall which is adjacent to the Knights of Columbus was devoted to dancing, music being furnished by Lallier's orchestra. The
 
 i card players and some mighty inter- esting games of forty-five were play ed. The forty-fve tournament which has been going on among the knights has proven very popular and last ev- ening it was continued, as the mem bers are rather enthusiastic over the game. The gathering last evehing was conspicuous because of the num- Der of older members and their friends that were present and attracted such an attendance that public installa- tfons may be given more often in the future.
 The officers installed last evening were as follows:
 Sheridan council-Grand knight, John F. Calvin; deputy knight, P H. Real; chancellor, Thomas Carney: financial secretary, John Kelly; re- cording secretary, Paul Schultze; treasurer, John H. Moran; chaplain, Rev J. J. Curtin wardenP F. Quinn; advocate, Lucien F. Wolff; lecturer, John Shannon; inside guard, John Carey; outside guard, Charles Fitz- patrick; trustees, John Bride, P. H. Garrity and James Quinn.
 Hendricken council-Grand knight F. P. Guilfoile; deputy grand knight M. c. Donovan; chancellor, Thomas J Conway; financial secretary, John J. Kelley; recording secretary, Thomas T. Costello; treasurer, Edward F Moran; lecturer, Frank T. Reed; ad- vocate, James M. Lynch; chaplain. Rev T. M. Crowley; warden, H. V. Ramon; inside guard. T. J. Fitzger- aid; outside guard, John Ryan; trus- tees, T. F. Conway, M J. McEvoy and C. F. Mcdonald

INTERSTATE UP THE SPOUT.
Western Polo League Breaks Up This
 Week After a Hard Struggle.

Harassed by lawsuits, desertion of players and poor attendance, the h. terstate league is about to give up the ghost. To-day or tomorrow will see the finish and the National league can now have the pick of the best players. Yesterday and to-day appli- cations have come into Waterbury by the score asking for a position on the local team. There is just one man that is needed here and he may come None of the present team will be dropped in all probability, but anoth- CT rusher will be secured to have on hand in case of emergency. One city in the league is reported as negotiat- ing for one of the teams intact. This is the team that Ted Lewis is playing on. Among the applications received by the local management are those from Wodtke, Mercer and Quigley. All the stars in the west will be here for a certainty, but 1t Is not possible that aside from the one city mention ed above, will there be very many general changes in the lineup of the teams as at present constituted.

 Miss Mechanism appeared in the room. but made no effort to accom- pany the men. The nurse refused the request and attempted to tele- phone to Dr Scoville, but as she was about to take down the telephone she was grasped from behind and was not allowed to give an alarm. The men, however, became fright ened and left.

ALICE" $ WANTED
Postofiice Has Packages That
 We're Left al Christmas Time.

If Alice" will call at the post office she will ascertain why she did not hear from Mrs" or MT" A. Crawford, Findlater street, Dublin, Ireland, about. the nice Christmas present she sent her or him. The parcel is still in the postoffice here because it was not declared" when it was mailed. There are a few oth- CTS in the same predicament as "Alice," no doubt, for there are other packages held fo? postage also. These packages bear the following addresses: MT William Fitzgerald, Kilmoyley, Ardfert, Kerry, Ire land," and another, Mrs Bridget Nolan, 57 Moore street, Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland" If about 300 Italians will also call they will find there the calendars they sent to friends in the old country.
 As for the packages, they were not declared" at the postoffice, and as their contents are salable the postal authorities could not send them. In other words, they were mailed as or dinary matter, whereas they should have been sent by the parcels post. If they bore the address of the send CTS the local postal people would have them returned 10 the owners, but there was nothing on them by which they could be traced s&,they were kept in the postoffice. Uncle Sam asked the help of the Demo- crat to find the senders and inform them why their presents cid not reach the old country.
 Calendars by the hundred were held over because they were over size and weight for such postal mat ter Italy was flooded with the cal endars issued by the local brewing companies, but in the cases of few hundred the senders enclosed an- other calendar or two end thus were made unmailable by being over weight.
 In every case the sender can re- cover his present by informing the postmaster or his assistant.
