The item in the auditors report for the construction of the bridge was s16,000, and B. D. Pierce, Jr, said it should be made $2S.0OO. This would make the city's part of the work $1S,- 900 and the Cartridge conpany's $10,- 900.
 Auditor Heating addressed the board in opposition to raising of the money by direct taxation. He said that the appropriation meant two-terths of a mill to the grand list. He was very forceful in contending that such inn provements as bridges and cuiverts which are permanent improvement should not be built out of the money raised bv direct taxat-on. He be- lieved the $1S0O0 needed should be se- cured by bond issue.

Birmingham, he stated, said, that ten new men were actually needed in order to properly police the various posts. He also arfo1.-Jtten- tion to the fact that Hartford had 130 policemen.

Son of Former Mayor of New York Town Cast Off By Father, Whom He Al most Ruined, Comes to End of His Rope.
He Was Dashing Chap and ~Lavishly Spent Other Peoples Money-Fond of the Dear Girls,a Cold Bot tie and a Bird or Two Sergeant Cronan Stopped His Escapades In This City.

Fred J. Brinnier, the gay youth ap- prehended here by Detective Sergeant Cronan after he had left a trail of bad cheeks throughout New York Nand Connecticut, was sentenced to Sing Sing for three years and three months by Justice Golf in New York city to- day.

TEACUP POLITICS..
a Bit of Life at Washington In
Which Women Are Prominent.

Which Women Are Prominent.
From Ash Wednesday until the
summer time scattering, the teapot
and the samovar, with the punch bowl
Is a helpful ally, become potent aids
in the forwarding of political careers
at Washington. How efficacious these
simple elements in the official game
Of good fellowship prove TO be is past
cOnjecturing, but old-time hosteSses
well up in the sport of politics as
played across the afternoon tea table
are the last to decry the tea-drinking
habits as practiced in Washington.
The wag who said that politics is
the voice of Washington women"
would have found much in the talk
of those who surround the tea tables
to support his views. Many of the
prettiest NJ apparently least serious
young women in oficialdom actually
have views" on subjects political,
which show that the young heads be-
meath the elaborate coiffures are bet
ter stored with knowledge than even
their most ardent admirers would
have dared to hope In the game Of
politics as played by fair women. the
tea table is an all-important adjunct.
Those who make the rounds Of
Washington drawing rooms assert
that everything from a nomination to
the corraling Of a goodly block Of
votes may be accomplished at a
Washington afternoon tea For the
orderly and effectual dissipation of in
cipient ructions back home nothing
is equal to the simple expedient Of
asking the wife of a visiting constitu-
ent to assist at one Of these weekly
functions. Feminine insurgency is
not equal to holding out against the
lures offered by the tactful hostess,
and many a cup Of tea slipped in the
drawing room CT an accomplished
woman Of the world has marked the
turning point in a career.
