Annie Resant. Theosoph.

She looked like a bishop as she faced her hearers, in loose gown down to her feet in a broad band of bright white silk, the very copy of a stole. Her pure white hair, cut like a mans, was rumpled up almost in a peak on her head as if she had just taken off her mitre. Her face had the square, solid, vigorous cast of the real Briton, and her voice was as strong and. decided as many a good church. mans.

The petition is as follows:
 We. the undersigned citizens of Waterbury respectfully represent:
 That in certain districts of the city children of tender years throng the streets at night and at unseemly hours
 That this practice is to the detri- ment of their health, good habits and good morals and makes against the law and order of the community;
 Wherefore, your petitioners pray that the board of aldermen of the ctiy of Waterbury pas san ordinance reg ulating the presence of children on the streets of the city after o'clock"

 Probation Officer Nicholas Combel- lack is strong supporter of the above petition. MT. Combellack states that he thinks the idea an excellent one and adds that the Brooklyn dis trict is not the only part of the city where the need of a curfew is appar- ent, the center not excepted. He says he hopes the city fathers will act fa- vorably on the resolution.

Never Happened in the World.

Across Broadway in a room just be- low the level of my own sat man busily working at his desk The door of his office opened and a remark ably good looking stenographer enter ed and closed the door behind her. She advanced to the desk. laid some pa pers on it and turned to go. Up to that time I hadn't known that l was watching them. Sut right there was where 1 jumped.
 Instead Of walking out again as fully expected her to do, she sat down on the mans lap with great calmness and he put his arm around her waist. There sat, dying to let them Know that some one saw them. but l knew that if 1 yelled my voice would be lost in the din of the street. Then I saw mans name. in gold letters on the window and thought of the phone. In another minute I had looked up the name in the book and had given the number to the operator. all the time keeping one eye on the pair across the way. Their position remained un- changed-or nearly so.

Official announcement was made this week by oscar A. Turner, presi- dent of the Ely Central Copper com pany, the stock of which has been very prominent in the outside mar kets for the past few months, that heavy development work on the com panys estate, Ely, Nevada has already been started, following the successful financing of the corporation, which included the underwriting of a bond issue, amounting to $600,000. MT. Turner has ordered that a working shaft be sunk on the Eureka Fraction claim of the Ely Central at distance of about 500 feet from the eastern side of the steam shovel pit of the Nevada Consolidated estate. Speak ing of this work, Mir. Turner, at the offices of the Ely Central Copper com- pany in New York, this week, said:
 This deposit has a thickness of 4S0 feet at the point where the shaft is to be sunk, so that in order to reach the bottom of it the shaft will have to go down l,150 feet. The dip of this ore body continues downward from a point where our shaft is to be sunk, and I believe that when we reach the lower levels of the deposit through the ore shaft and it's lateral workings, it is very much more than probable that a strata of very high grade ore will be found.
 There is little question but what this deposit is the direct continuation of the Nevada Consolidated ore body, and that it will prove as strong and as rich, If not richer, in ore than it has been proved to be in the case of Nevada Consolidated"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have d rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result. and unless the infiamma ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces.

DOG WARDEN
e'nce May 21 Has Destroyed 123 Dogs
 at S3 Each.


 In compliance with the new state law. Dog Warden Thomas Kelley has filed report with Town Clerk Rob ert Weber showing that from May 21 to August 1 he has destroyed 1e3 dogs. and that his charge in each case to the city is $3, in accordance with the rate fixed by law. The report does not include the number of dogs placed in the pound in Drew place, as the law only requires report on the number of unlicensed dogs killed by the war den. The report gives a description of the dogs and the location where the animal was picked up.j In instances where the name of the owner is known that is also entered
 The rate of $3 per dog is s2 less than the amount allowed the warden last year. Last year the dog catcher in Waterbury made in the neighbornooa of $4,O0O killing dogs at $5 each and the legislature seemed to think that the possibility of a man getting rich in the dog catching business was too great, so they voted to reduce the fee to S3.-Bridgeport Farmer.

A despatch from North Scituate says that Representative William c. Lowering is very i'll at. the Glades club there, and it is feared by his intimate friends that he will. never be able to resume his seat in the national halls at Washington. MT. Lowering went there from Washington about a month ago and at once consulted Dr. Oliver H. Howe, who ordered rest and plenty of it. Though MT. Lowering was de- sirous of returning to Washington to take part in the tariff bill debate, his physician refused sto permit of his leaving the club, and as a result he incurred the displeasure of Speaker Cannon. It is claimed this is the cause of his losing the committee chairmanship which he formerly held.
