It has been reported in one of the Hartford papers that Roosevelt does not desire to run for mayor of New York city, as is the wish of many of his New York friends. He has many reasons, without a doubt, but his princi- pal reason might be, that someone would be apt to put him onto the track of "blind tigers" in the city, and, as the sport of hunting tigers that can see is none to good for him, the office is hardly in his class.

Mrs. M. E. O'Brien, of Pittsfeld, Mass, after pouring the milk from one dish to another noticed the liquid was agitated greatly and immediately began an investigation. This showed that a fish about an inch long was swimming in the milk. It might be considered that she received more than the worth of her money, but the local patrons wish to make it known to their milkmen that they will willingly pay 7 cents a quart but do not care for the "creamed fish"

For some time past local telephone operators have, seemingly, felt very strenuous as is shown when they ring up a call. Possibly they think it necessary to ring three consecutive times in order to get 8 party, or perhaps it is the orders of the Southern New England Company. However, the sub scribers would like to have it made known to the operators that it is no treat to have the phone ring in their ears when they pick up the receiver, Would it inconvenience the operators too much to ring only once, and then wait to see if the party answered before ringing again?

It will be recalled that Officer Spencer R. Woodwork of Winsted died Thanks
 giving and his death was due to pneu- monia. as the primary cause, and the secondary cause was lack of intelligent treatment and cure. MT. Woodwork believed in Christian Science, and, ac- cording to reports, would receive no medical attendance. Although there are no insinuations on the case of MT.
 Woodworth. it now has developed that if one desires to commit suicide without disgrace to himself he should become ill and use Christian Science for treatment.

Erroneous.

Tho families Of Frank G.. Janncy, su-
perintcndent Of tho Utah Copper COM
paDy, and f.. NJ. Janney Of tho dctcc-
tive force Of the police department were
thrown into state Of mingled grief
and excitement. Monday afternoon,
when the following message from Los
Angeles was received at the homo Of
Frank G. Janncy:
Mother is dcad.--Lottie.'
AS Mrs. Frank G.. Janney has been in
Los Angeles for several weeks and has
not been in the best of health. together
with the fact that the signer Of the
message was Lottie Janpcy, the a.
year.old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank G.. Janney. tho authenticity of
the sad announcement was not ques-
toned and Frank G.. Jauncy and Mrs.
T.. NJ. Janncy left on the Limited for
Los Angeles to return with the body.
In the meantime. Tho Tribune had
wired TO its Los Angeles correspondent
and received the welcome news that
Mrs. .lanney was not dead, and that she
was in better health than she had been
IN for the past few days. Later j..
NJ. Janney received message from Lot.
tic Janncy announcing that Mrs. Jan
ncy was better.
Tho second message was the cause
of great rejoicing among the relatives
of Mrs. Janney in this city, and a tcle-
gram was at once sent to intercept
Frank G.. Jauncy and Mrs. f.. NJ. Jan
ncy, informing them that Mrs. JanneY
was not dead, and calling them back to
Salt Lake.
The sending Of the original telegram
announcing tho death of Mrs. Janncy is
n mystery that may be cleared up later.

from the Campbell Building company,
got together Monday and decided to Sc.
cure Moran 10 do the work. A ''force -
order was issued to him and he will

that he win have the pipe In working

makes good on anything he undertakes,
be il n little piece OF sidewalk pay

The putting Of the pipe in shape 10

in the southwestern part of the city,
which had 10 be called oft temporarily
for the reason that the stopping of the
pumps backed the water up into the
trenches and made it impossible to lay
the laterals in accordance with tho
specifications. which provide that there
shall be no water in the trenches while
the work is being done.
With the outlet pipe remcdied. there
is every indication that the west side
sewage system will be put into opera

citizens the sewage relief they have
been seeking for two or three years.
What the cost of putting the outlet
pipe in proper shape will be is uncer-
tain. but the Campbell Building com
pany has something like $4,000 coming
TO it and the city is amply protected
