SPREAD OF TYPHOID
Al the Present Time There Arc
 Ten Cases al Hospital.

There are a number of cases of typhoid fever in this city at present and ten of the persons afflicted with the disease are at the Waterbury hospital There was rumor going the rounds that some of the eases were caused by the water from the East Mountain reservoir, so Health Officer T. J. Kilmartin to-day started an investigation to see If there was any truth in the story.
 After looking into the case close ly he said that he was of the opinion that the water of the reservoir had not brought the disease, neither had it developed it in the cases cited. Only one of the persons at the hos pital could have contracted the dis ease from the water of the East Mountain reservoir, still the doctor does not think that 1t was the water that brought the disease to the per son in question.
 It is surprising the manner iE which such rumor spreads, and how quickly people believe 1t. Per sons using the water on the high pressure service were fearful lest the typhoid was really coming from the reservoir and even With the state ment of the health officer will not feel satisfied that the water is all il should be.

FANS DISAPPOINTED.
\ Hundred or Two Journeyed to
 Rockville Yesterday.

The canceling of the base hall game at Rockville yesterday after noon, when New Haven was sup posed to play the local team, was a big disappointment to Waterbury lovers of the game, and q few knocks were handed out last evening. A number of the faithful went ont to the field as the game had been pretty thoroughly advertised, and the only notice of a postponement being a hanger placed in a prominent place in the center. as we'll as | notiiica- ton sent to the newspaper offices. A number of people used the telephone and so saved their car fares. The reason given for the postponement was that the grounds were too wet. It is too bad that tue notice was sent out so early as the day turned out fine and it was great base ball weather about 3:30. All the other teams played the games as sched- uled.

E. [. SEERY LOSES
His M0lion For an IDiuBc!ioD
 Denied By Judge Wheeler.

As fast as injunctions are applied for the courts are smashing the ap- plications. Judge Ralph Wheeler a week or two ago denied the applica- tions for permanent injunctions en- joining the city from proceeding with public work on Clark street and an- other against widening South Main street. A week ago Attorney E. l.. Seery, representing himself, applied for a temporary injunction to re- strain the city from laying a water main across his property in Seery- vile He first secured an order Of stay from Judge Cowel, but it seems the city officials paid 10 heed to this whereupon MT Seery procededed to tie up the city for sure. He applied to Judge George w. Wheeler of Bridgeport for an injunction and the matter was argued a week ago last Monday. To-day Judge Wheeler's decision was received by Clerk Marsh of the superior court. The applica- tion was denied and the accompany ing memorandum reads thus: The plaintiff, upon the evidence has noth- ing but the legal title to the private way in question. Each of the own CTS upon this way has Q right to have the way kept free and clear for purposes of travel as street. It may be that this plaintiff, holding the legal title to the way, might as trustee of the legal title for the benefit of the owners upon the way to whom his predecessors in title sold, have the right upon suitable all legation to secure an Injunction against the use and occupation of this way by the defendant in dero- gation of the owners right in the way. The allegation of this com plaint does not permit of such an in junction to issue. The plaintiff claims to act for himself, not for others. Motion for temporary in- junction denied."

You must Have Treasure, Tempera-
 ment and Tact.
 To enter paradise you had to be good and you had to be dead. To enter society you do not have to be either. On the contrary. though what you do have to be is harder to tell than 1t is 10 get there. But certain requisites may be mentioned. These are treasure. temperament and tact Treasure. which is the basis of all scrumptiousness. speaks for itself. Temperament is more complex. Tenn perament is the art of holding your own on the subject of nothing at all with experts who have devoted their lives to the subject. That is clearly abnormal Tact. while less unnatural. Is more abs,ruse. Tact is the ability to put your vibrations into harmony with those of others about you. As pirants may be rich. righteous and ready. yet if they lack that ability. whatever their efforts. they are mo- where. If they possess it. then. though they be nobodIes. they have only to choose where they want to % and get there generally speaking. that is. and provided they are not in a hurry.

OBJECT TO FILTH
Residents of Aigh Street Make
 COwplaiuiHo HeaIlh Officer.

The residents in the vicinity of Orange. fCoe and High streets were fup in arms last evening" and this morning over what fhey termed down right shane on the part of some of the em- ploHes of the sewer department. Last evening the catch basins at these corners were cleaned but the contents was not carried away; 1t was laid along the street as ordinary dirt would have been.
 According to those who live in the neighborhood such malodor- ous stench arose from the refuse that many of the residents became very i'll, and one woman was so sick this morning that her husband claims he will seek damages from the city. The night was close and muggy so that the refuse proved to be an almost unbearable nuisance.
 Bright and early this morning the health department received several complaints from persons in that sec tion who were very indignant at what had been done. As a result Health Officer pr T. J. Kili.artin sent letter which in substance was as follows to Superintendent Kilduff of the street department:
 Complaint has been made to me that the contents of the catch basiu at the corner of Coe and High streets was last evening placed along the street at that point as a top dress ing. This practice is not only a nuisance but menace to the health of the citizens of this city. Not only did bad oder arise from it, but it made a suitable medium for the growth of germs It would seem that a pratcice so reprehensible as this is would be stopped immediate ly.,''
 When the matter was brought to the attention of the mayor lie said Le would discharge the employees re sponsible if they could offer no satis. fatoory explanation of their action.
 When reporter of the Democrat asked Superintendent Ray of the sewer department if it were true that his men were accustomed to throw the refuse of catch basins along the streets he said it certainly was not He had heard nothing about what some of his men had done last even ing and said he would give the mat. ter his immediate attention.
 T can hardly believe that any of z the men would throw any foul smell. : ing refuse taken from a catch basin along the street" he said. "Often they spread it along a street when il consists of nothing but sand and dirt No one has yet notified me of what you say occurred last evening""
 During Mayor Elton's administra tion while Benjamin Chatfield was sewer inspector the catch basins were generally cleaned at night and the refuse thrown along the streets When the health officer ordered il stopped the superintendent did not desist, but had to when the matter was brought to the attention of the mayor.

Advance in Assessments is ihe
 Cause of Anxiety.

Members of the Independent Or der of Foresters are very much in terested in proposed advance in assessments for those who joined prior to 1899, but so far the local lodges have not been called together to consider the matter. It is said that the new rates more than double what the members have been paying but there must be some question about this since the institution boasts of surplus of over $12,000,- 900. This and other things of the kind that have happened in fraternal insurance companies within the past few years go to show that, after all a man who wants to know where he is at makes 1t a point to do busi- ness with the old line companies. The fraiernal bodies mean well, but they offer too much and as con- sequence they are not able to make good and unfortunately many don't find this out until after they cease to be regarded good insurance risks in the regular companies. It is bitter disappointment to man 10 have the burden increased when he is least able to bear it, but if the thing was not worked on that plan it could not be made a success of because no sane man would enter Il he could see the finish. The bars are let down for men in their youth. but when they reach the sere and yellow leaf they are elevated to such an altitude that the older fellows cannot get over them and they fall by the way What do you call this? Socially and otherwise, the Pores ters is among the best fraternal in- surance organizations in the world and it is quite likely that the, ad- vance in rates is necessary to put i. in a position to meet the obligations, but is this the end? Of course no- body is obliged to join these bodies and those who are in them are tt libeEy to leave, and may do so say ing that they had protection at low rates while they remained. but what about the future? What terms can they ge: from the old line companies now compared with those open to them when they decided to stake their hopes on representations made by fraternal insurance societies? t is generally admitted that the For. esters will do the best they can for it's members, but viewed from the road at this time their best effort will fall for short of their promise but perhaps this is due more to longevity in their ranks than to any other cause.

that it has no connection with Wall
