STOLE THE LANTERN

Somebody played . pretty mean trick on Mrs Margaret Preston of Baldwin street Monday night. Since the city water got 50 thst 1t didn't taste just right for drinking pur- poses, hundreds have been accommo- dated at well in Mrs Preston's yard and the old lady did all in her power to make everybody who called, young and old, feel at home. In the even- fngs she left a lantern hanging near the well so that folks could see how to get around and often sat up until midnight before taking in the light in order to make sure that everyone who intended to call had been serv-- ed. Monday night the lantern was stolen and naturally the woman feels sore over 1t, not because of the value of the lantern but on account of the ingratitude 1t shows. It appears that the light fingered person is known to one or two of the neighbors and If so the end is not yet. Mrs Preston is the widow of Captain Foley, who was an ofhcer in the civil war and one of the most esteemed women in the south end of the city.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Ihe Trolley Csspasy Wnl Psy
 nali For Repalrs.

0. E. Elwell of New Haven, engi- nser for the Connecticut Co. accom- panied by MT Stark. was in town to- day and held . conference with Com inissioners scully and Walker of the department of public works. to whom was referred the company's communi- cation regarding the condition of the bridge over the Naugatuck river at Bank street. The bridge was in- spected some time ago by Engineer Keith, who pronounced 1t unsafe for trolley trafic, and as the law re- Aquires the city to keep all It's bridges Sn proper repair the company called Mention to this case, but added that owing to the urgency of the matter they would be willing to pay a DOT ton of the cost. In similar cases at Bridgeport and New Haven they have paid one-third and one-half the estimated cost, the last mentioned sum being the most they ever paid anywhere. Alter talking the matter over both sides agreed to an adjust ment of the cost by each paying half, and the committee will make rec ommendation to this effect to the board next week.
 MT Elwell called attention to the condition of two other bridges, one at the Mad river at the factory Of the Mattatuck Manufacturing Co and ari- other in Waterville, but nothing was done about them because the con- mittee had no authority to confer re- garding any but the one on Bank street, and besides there Is some ref erence to the East Main street bridge in trolley contracts entered into be- tween the city and the company some time ago. The engineer claimed that the other bridges have suffered con- siderably for lack of paint. It is the custom, he said, in nearly every town to paint so much of the bridges as can be seen regularly, but the other parts are too often neglected.
 The estimated expense of the Bank street job is $1,000 and 1t is thought this will put 1t in condition so that there will be no danger of accident until such time as the present span will be replaced by more substan- tial one.

CHAINED TO GALLERY RAIL.
Suffragettes Again Invade the Com
 mons.

London, Oct. 20. = Renewed suffra- gette disturbances have forced the gov ernment to close the galleries in the house of commons. This is an unusual step and indicates the extremity to which the authorities have been driven.
 While the house was discussing the licensing bill a sensation was caused by the display of placard and sud den shrill cries from the ladies' gal lery demanding votes for women, while simultaneously a bundle of handbills futtered down from the strangers gallery at the opposite end of the chamber, and a man shouted protests against injustice to women"
 Attendants hurried to the galleries, and the male offender was uncere- moniously ejected, but from the ladies' gallery sounds were heard of desper- ate struggle. Two suffragettes had firmly chained themselves to the grill and resisted for a time all ef- forts at removal, crying continuously in shrill tones their demands for votes.
 Finally the suffragettes were drag ged from their posts and removed, but only after portions of the grill itself were removed with them.
 Ten minutes later there was another dramatic scene. man In the stran- gers gallery fiinging another bundle of bills down upon the house and shouting. Why don't you give women votes and relieve the unemployed"
 Attendants rushed upon him, but he resisted hercely the attempts made to carry him bodily from the gallery. After desperate struggle the attend ants succeeded in ejecting the man. About the same time large body of suffragettes made demonstration outside the parliament building, and fifteen of them were arrested.
 The removal of the two militant sui fragettes presented a comical scene to those in the corridors. Both of the offenders were laughing heartily as they were escorted by a posse of po- licemen, one of the officers carrying that portion of the ironwork of the grill to which the women were chain ed. They were conducted into com mittee room, and workmen were sum- rnoned to file of the iron from the chains, which were securely padlocked around the women's waists.

Why Sherwood Is Out.

Former Alderman Sherwood's let ter in the Democrat last night was a good one. so everybody says. It start ed off with very happy reference to himself T am private citizen of Waterbury, not an office holder and not professional politician" is the facetious way MT Sherwood intro- duces himself to the readers of the Democrat. This is true, but while he was at 1t he might as well have come out like a man and admit that he didn't retire from office of his own volition, but that he is outside the breastw at this time because Charley Fine knocked him out in the first ward last fall. But of course that wouldn't do, and, anyway, no- body should be expected to make such an admission, especially when nearly everybody knows that MT Sherwood is very large man while MT Fine is nothing more than featherweight.

Rush for Band Wagon.

David B. Hill of New York has come out for Bryan. That's noth. ing. Almost everywhere you go now you find people who have been on the fence making wild dash for the democratic band wagon in order to be sure of a seat before 1t starts up. Seriously, thoughtful citizens all over the country are beginning to realize the folly of keeping one party in power so long that they be- gin to feel they are kings instead of public servants, and nobody outside those who put party above country will regret if the returns of election show that Q change is coming. The full dinner pail cut in the Democrat yesterday was an excellent object les son and should be put before every voter in the land. It tells the story more eloquently than Bourke Cock ran could put it.
