Children Eating Pills Like Candy.

Men in the employ Of an advertising agency were in Taftville Thurs day and distributed freely about the village samples of patent medicine pills of the nature of pheno-caf affeine. The chill dren received a goodly supply of the samples and in number of cases the younger ones were later observed eat ing the pills down like candy. Before any harm could result from eating them the pills were taken away and no bad effects were seen in any of the children. However serious poisoning is known to have been caused by the eating of such pills by young children as the result of indiscriminate distri- button and it is the opinion of those interested that such distribution of harmful drugs should be discoura ged.

New York Is Rid.

Residents of a great city frequently have to go away from home to learn the news, and then again they some times go for the purpose of telling it, as when Corporation Counsel Watson, addressing the Louisiana Bar asso- citation, gave certain striking facts about the vastness of New York. It has 3,740 miles of streets. he said. and a water front of "A miles; it is the largest municipality in the world un- der one central governing authority: it's assets, buildings, lands, docks and other public possessions. amount to does not include it's taxing power; there are 50,00O more births each year than there are deaths; on the corpora ton counsePs payroll are 426 persons. and on January l there were in courts almost 55,000 cases in which the city was interested or was party.

BIG WATER PRIVILEGE.
N. Y-, N. H. and H. R. R. Buys Out the Birmingham Water Power Company.

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has ac- quired by purchase the property of the Birmingham Water Power company, extending from Ansonia to Derby, and including all its water rights, privileges and franchise. The negotiations have been quietly conducted from New York and were completed there Tuesday The purchase involves a large outlay of money but the results promised both to the railroad and to Ansonia, will fully warrant the expenditure.
 The purpose of the railroad company in the acquisition of this property is two-fold First, it provides land for a freight yard for Ansonia and at the same time affords opportunity for large expansion at Derby; second, it will re- lieve the railroad company from the interruption of it's business during the winter and spring freshets by the weakening and sometimes partial de- struction of it's trestle across the Nau- gatuclz river at this point.

New Superintendent Soldiers Horne.

The election of George Robbins to the superintendency of the soldiers home at Noroton comes as a surprise to many. Few knew that a change was to be made and MT. Robbins ean- didacy for the vacant place has not been exploited publicly much. He had the earnest support of the late Major Appel, who was member of the board and whose death might have affected Mir. Robbins chances unfavorably, but for the fact that he had personally impressed the other members of the board by his special qualifications for the office. He is peculiarly sympathet- ic with the old soldiers. That he has proved in a thousand ways through many years. He has a fine personal address, mixing dignity with amiabil- ity in a degree that reveals kindness while it compels respect and subordi- nation. We shall expect MT. Robbins to make almost an ideal superintendent of the home.-Waterbury Republican.
