SCULLY'S STATEMENT
About Cost oi Living For Self
 Supporting Girls.

Although none of the school teach CTS of the city have as yet made a formal call upon President Scully or the board of aldermen. nevertheless they are expressing their opinions concerning the statements made by him at the meeting of the alder manic body on Monday evening President Scully does not care to have long newspaper discussion with the teachers as may be seen from the following statements made by him to-day when he was Inter- viewed on the subject
 No, sir, l have no desire to en- gage in newspaper controversy with the school teachers regarding the cost of living. If girl wants to pay $6 d week or more for board that is her own business, and l nope none of them thinks that 1 am so meddlcsomc as to make scene over it. What l said was that there are many girls in Waterbury just as bright and as good as the teachers who cannot afford to pay $6 a wees for board, and that it was not neces- sary to pay that much in order to secure suitable accommodation In respectable family. said these things in good faith and I'm not making apologies or explanation Tor them. If anybody thinks l 2lade mistake and wishes to take the other side of the question that is priv ilege she enjoys and which l would not deprive her of if l had the power to do so.'
 The alderman from the fifth is standing by his guns and would no doubt be only too willing to discuss the matter personally with any Of the teachers who cared tJ talk the matter over with him. He does not wish to be misunderstood and his statement to-day is practically the same in regard to the $6 week matter as was made at the meeting Monday night.
 The question of teachers salaries is causing much discussion at pres ent and some interesting informa- ton may come out at the aldcrmanic meeting tonight when the aldermen agaln endeavor to fix up the Dud- get. The teachers have their friends as well as those who claim that the teachers are receiving as much sal ary as in other cities of equal size. They point to the fact that very few teachers ever leave the town while there are always numrous applica- lions for positions in Watrbury.
 The teachers claim that the req son why they stay here is because the homes of almost all of them are in Waterbury, and that is a big in- ducement. Moreover they claim that Waterbury pays the lowest sal aries in the state with the exception of Meriden and New Britain They point 10 Hartford where they say may of the teachers begin at $500. which is almost the maximum figure for a grade teacher in this town

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

It has been remarkable the few cases of typhoid fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever in this section the past few months in view of the number of school children in other parts of the city that have had the disease So far there has been ho cause for alarm in the schools of Brooklyn.
 Mrs Charles Karish of South Leonard street is suffering from severe case of blood poisoning in left hand. About one week ago she got a silver in her hand but thought it came out a short time later. The silver evidently remained embedded in the flesh and now the hand has swollen to twice its natural size.
 The hard times are apparently hurting the calendar market. The number of handsome designs in Brookly this year are not nearly as large as usual and some of the business men have none of any kind. Although the public does not realize it calendars. especially those elab- orately made up. cost anywhere from to The past has been very poor year for business and consequently the merchants have cut down on the quantity and quality of their call endars.
 It has arrived at last, One of the most useful package and letter boxes that can be found in the city was placed yesterday at the corner of North Leonard and Bank streets, and apparently is going to do a rush. ing business. It is one of Uncle Sans latest designs and is the first one to be placed in this city. The top slide is for packages and he lower one for letters. The letter carrier has simply to open one little lock and the mail is right at his hands in double receiver X long. long time ago there was package box at the corner of Bank and North Leonard but if received so much usage that the bottom finally dropped ont of it.
