MOUNTED POLICEMAN
DeparimeBi ot Safely Bss Taken
 no Action as Yel.


 So far the department of safety has taken no action regarding the hint passed on to them by the alder men relative to the appointment of mounted officer. Probably this ex- plains why the aldermen are not in much hurry to approve the proposi- tion to purchase an automobile for use in the fire department, notwith- standing the fact that 1t appears to be generally believed that the auto is a good thing. If this be true and the board of safety is able to get it and keep within their appropria- tion they ought to have it, for the fire department cannot be too eff cients to suit the public. If the city cannot have the man on the horse this year, and the auto can be se- cured, one should not be held back for sake of the other.

CITY'S VACANT LOTS
Could Be Made 10 Yield Some.
 thing By Men Who Are Idle,

An item in the Democrat last night about vacant lot cultivation mas caused considerable talk and many would like to know more about 1t. It is simple enough, but even so it needs organized effort to make it go. It has worked well wherever 1t has been tried and there IS no reason why 1t would not pay nere. When one considers all the Idle men there are in Waterbury at the present time and then looks at the vacant lots in all sections of the city he cannot help saying that it Is too bad these idle men cannot be banded together and shown the wis dom of making these lands yield something which will come in handy for them next winter. If some re- sponsible parties would take the ini- tiatlve the scheme would work like a charm and in addition to beautify- ing the city it would furnish some thing for willing hands to do and put many family in position to maintain themselves through the present dull season who will other wise have to fall back upon the cold hand of charity unless they have something ahead for fhe rainy day.

THE POLICE COURT.
Unlicensed Dogs Still Making Busi.
 ness for Officials.

Patrick Corr, painter, was one of
 crowd that was painting the Meri- den depot and vicinity red last even ing, when Officer Cutting came along
 and shooed the bunch away. About
 o'clock this morning the officer was patrolling the same vicinity when he saw Corr and the gang slowing away
 the contents of can" All made break but Corr was caught ard in the city court this morning Judge
 Peasley put him on probation to pay fine of s7 and costs.
 Daniel Commerford was fined S5 and costs for keeping an unregistered dog.
 Daniel Reardon blackeled his wife's eyes yesterday and then dared policeman to arrest him. In court he said he would fight the case rath- CT than settle. He wanted a lawyer and he would do this and do that be- fore he would settle, but while he was thus exciting himself friend who had cooler head paid s5 for him and that settled it.
 Mrs Mary Murphy of 72 Ridge street wanted to know how anybody can pay for licensing one's dog in these hard times and that was her plea of justification for keeping an unregistered canine. Then, when she was fined $5 and costs she thought it the greatest joke. Dog Warden Trask said the woman tried to sell the dog for fifty cents but could not get buyer. After cour. she was asked if she wished to settle or go on probation, but probably she would prefer to go to jail. To give the woman her due, she knew as much about probation as she did of the jail, and that is saying that she knew nothing about either. Proba- tion officer Combellack then pro- ceeded to tell her about the mysteries of probation and the woman laughed until she had everybody laughing with her. It would be lot of fun she thought, to see the probation off, cer once week and leave with him a dollar or fifty cents, until she should have paid him in all about s10.52. "$10.52," exclaimed the woman in astonishment, 'I guess I'll go to jail" Then you think you prefer to go to jail rather than pay this sunni" said the probation officer. ''I will go to jail if you'll support my family" said she. What have got to do with your family?" asked the probation officer. You'll have a lot to do with 1t if go to jail" said the woman, laughing at the idea. After some talk of this nature Captain Ramon convinced the woman that it was no joke at all going to jail and foolish as 1t was for her to keep a dog she could not afford to have reg istered, she would be still more fool ish to go to jail for it's sake: So Pro- bation 0ficer Combellack made out her probation card and she promised to report every week, even if she did not have cent to pay.

DIVORCE CASES ]
Women We're CowpIslnaIIs To-
 Day Before Judge Wheeler.

The divorce court did some busi-
 ness to-day, starting off with the
 case of Hermine Hicks against Charles F. Hicks. Cruelty and in-
 temperance were the allegations in
 the case. Mrs Hicks said she had so
 much trouble in her married life that
 she could not tell exactly when she
 was married or when her son was
 born. She thought that she was
 nineteen years of age when she was
 married in January 1888, and that
 she was married twenty-one years. This conflicting statement, however,
 did not stop the trial of the caseA It was matter that could be recti- lied by reference to the records of the town where she was married. Her husband used to run a photograph gallery in tent near the shop of the
 New England Watch company and he was drunk nights, he was drunk days, in fact according to the evil dence of half dozen witnesses
 Hicks was drunk all the time, and and when his son last saw him in Long Island last fall he was so drunk
 he could not stand without support.
 When his funds gave out and he could no longer buy drink he would fall back upon the alcohol he used in his business. Once he pawned his wife's wedding ring to get a drink. The witnesses supporting Mrs Hicks's story were her son, Charles E., now a resident of Babylon, l.. l., who used to work for the Clock company, Mrs Kate Bennett who was a neighbor, her daughter, Mrs Ella Porter and William H. Fudge, grocer. Judge Wheeler informed Attorney Els, counsel for Mrs Hicks, he would al- low divorce when the errors in the writ caused by her lack of memory on dates would be corrected.
 Fern Smith. "A, was granted di- yorce from Charles H. Smith, who IS serving term of ten to twenty years in the state prison. On the grounds of rape this petition was granted. Smith and his wife lived at l5l Bank street. He was employed by the Waterbury Ice corporation and she is waitress in the Cables on Prospect street. One day while Smith was at home, out of work, Iit- tie Helen Matthews, aged 12, was playing about the halls in the house and Smith enticed her into his apart ments and committed the crime for which he is confined in the state prison. Mrs Smith was the only wit ness in her case.
 Harriet K. McVittie asked a de- cree from William R. McVittie of 1l2 Walnut street, stock clerk for the Scoyill Manufacturing Co. She al- legged cruelty and stated that her hus- bands treatment of her sent her to the Waterbury hospital OF five diff ferent occasions. The three first times her husband paid the expenses but the other two the First congre- gational church paid them. Several times, Mrs McVittie said, her hus- band threatened to kill her and once while she was in Bridgeport. he sent her word that If she dared come back he would do for her She came. how ever Once or twice ile put her out Of the house. Mrs Margaret Walker testified for the plaintiff.
 Dr H. D. Anderson, who was sum. moned to testify to the plaintiffs be- ing in the hospital, did not material ize and the case was continued to next Friday.

THE LYNEHAN CASE
Republican Party Kot Yet Ready
 10 Go 10 Trial.

Attorney John 0'Neill to-day in the superior court made great ef- fort to get down for hearing next week the case of Mrs Rose Lynehan against the republican party's town committee officers. He asked It be placed for hearing before any other case not on the assignment list to- day, but Attorney Church, who is chairman of the republican town committee, objected and contended there are other cases riper for trial than his. Judge Wheeler took that view of the case and the proposition went over to next Friday. MT O'Neill, by the way had a good laugh last evening when he saw Tn the pa pers the republican party's answer to his allegations in the suit, making itself little less in the machinery Of civilization than the ten command ments, placing itself on the same pedestal as the state government and setting forth that it is in fact T part of the government.
 "Egad," said MT O'Neill to-day, we'll soon find out whether those fellows of the republican party run the government before or after they are elected.
 The cases set for hearing next week are Mary Whalen, appeal from probate, Patrick Barnes against the city, Wednesday. For Thursday Walter s. Atwood against the Con- necticut Co, John Penrose and John Penrose Jr, against the railroad con- pany and Thomas Martone against John Fernandez.

symphony orchestra-schubert Club.

Waterbury's final musical event of the season will be the concert next Tuesday night in Buckingham hall of the Waterbury Symphony orches- tra and the Schubert club. The fact that the two largest local organiza- tions of their kind ever to be organ ized in the city have united to give a joint concert is enough in itself to make the announcement of the en- tertainment notable. While both these organizations are local. there is nothing of the amateur noticeable in their work The orchestra has been rehearsed until 1t plays with an abandon and dash that would be ereditable in many a professional one of the same size. The numbers that will be played next Tuesday night have been selected from works of the famous composers. but are light, tuneful and calculated to please music lovers Of all degrees Of dis eernment. The scope of the orrhes- tra is complete. from oboe t0 kettle drums. The Schubert club fs com posed of over hundred singers and it is safe to say that this number in- eludes the pick of WateTbury's fem inine vOealists. A winter Of hard Eork has been devoted to rehearssnE this chorus for its coming frsf ap- pearance- To say that much has been accomplished In this time would he to put it lightly as a singing or zsnizstion of which any city. much larger than.

OPEN AIR CONCERTS.
No Arrangements Made Yet for the
 Coming Summer.

So far very little has been said about open air concerts. but it is expec ed that the matter will come up soon. Last year it was hinted that the trolley company was will ing to help out on the band concert expense item, but the thing didn't come up until late in the season and nothing was done about it. Why wouldn't 1t he good thing for the park committee to look into this now and see what can be done in that direction. It would be nice thing to have concert at Hamilton park every Saturday afternoon. It would be a rare treat for a large number of people and inasmuch as it would bring additional patronage 10 the Connecticut company prob ably they would willingly stand a share of the cost. It will do no harm to put it up to them, anyway.

VISITOR COMPLAINS OF
LACK OF VEGETABLES
Says Hotels and Vegetables Should Show
What Country Can Do.

Why don't the hotels and re-
staurants in Brownsville serve
their guests with more of the
many fine vegetables which are
raised here?"
This rather pertinent question
was asked this afternoon by a Wis
itor from the north, who had just
finished lunch in one of the city
eating places.
l have heard so much of the
productivneess of the SOIL" he
continued. Il have been told of
the fine vegetables of so many
different varieties grown on the ir-
rigated lands of the Rio Grande
valley. Men have boosted of what
they have done in the truck line,
how early and how often they have
done it, until 1 am rather dizzy.
l suppose all this truck is here.
But why don't the hotels and eat
ing places give us an ocular DEM
onstration? Can't they afford to
buy vegetables, because they have
so many people to feed? What is
the matter with them? Are they of
the opinion that man has to eat
and that he will not complain here
if he gets any old thing and any
old assortment"
The hotels and restaurants
should take the hint. They might
make a valuable adjunct of the
publicity bureau by giving north
ern visitors a daily exhibit on their
tables of the choice vegetables
which are constantly on sale in the
city market.

Brownsville should fall in line
with other cities and have a gen.
eral cleaning up day, once in a
while. And by the way, what about
the enforcement of the ordinance
against throwing trash on the
streets or alleys? If that were en-
forced, there would be no need of
a cleaning up day.
(. A visitor in Brownsville from
Iowa received a letter from home
which stated that the
snow was piled ten feet high in the
streets there. This hardly sounds
credible to Brownsville ears, with
such spring-like weather as has
prevailed here for so long. No
wonder the snow diggers" are
hocking to the Brownsville coun-
try.

land was enjoyed yesterday by Mr.

the seashore. They returned to
town last evening.
While walking along Elizabeth
street yesterday afternoon, ]. J.
Perdoma of the immigration force
was struck ON the head by a large
sign which was blown down by the
wind just as he was passing. He
received quite severe blow, and
it is very probable that only the
fact that he wore stiff hat, which
was crushed by the blow, saved
him from very serious injury, Very
probably. if this sign had fallen on
a little child, the little one would
have been killed. Overhanging
signs are a menace, unless very
safely moored. The city should
this matter.
