No urettier reception for Prof. Her bert T. Milier's classes will be held than that which took place on Friday evening at his dancing academy on Oak street for his Friday afternoon class of young masters and misses, twelve couples in all With d precis ion and grace that showed cOnvinc- ingly the capable instruction they had received, the class went through a programme of ten of the modern fash iorable dances to the delight of the parents and friends present, who con graduated the professor upon the pro- ficiancy shown by his pupils.

REPUBLICANS HOLD
 DISTRICT CAUCUSES. Nomination of Same Members of the Town ommittee-Harmoniou Ses- sions.


 In all the districts on Friday evening republicans gathered to nominate members of the town committee, All the sessions were harmonious and the same members were renominated, all though Norwich Town failed to have a quorum.
 In the Central district at town hall J. Frank Corey nominated Judge J. H. Barnes as moderator after Committee Chairman E. L. Burnap called the eau GUS to order. Judge Barnes thanked the caucus for the honor and assured them that he didn't throw his hat in the ring to obtain it. The game of throwing hats into the ring, he contin- ued, seems to be quite unlucky. They tell us that sap Is running earlier than usual in the maple trees this year and that is g. sure and unfailing sign Of a republican victory in June.
 The people of this country sometimes desire a change, and they had their de- sire gratifled In a democratic house at Washington, but scientific gentlemen who have made a careful miCroscOpical examination unanimously report that they have been unable to find any germs of life in anything that has been given birth to by the aforesaid in the house. The Bible, a book read by all republicans, and occasionally by democrat, tells us that house divided against itself will fall, whether it be founded on a rock or in the meadows of Voluntown. If we as republicans would only forget our petty jealousies and internal dissensions and work and pull together, there is not anything that we cannot accomplish in the city and town of Norwich.
 Tyler D. Guy was made clerk and upon nominations by c. s. Holbrook, H. H. Pettis and Justin Holden, the same three committeeman from the First district were renOminated, they being Edwin L. Burnap, Lewis R. Church and George E. Fellows. The clerk will present their names to the caucus next Friday evening.
 In the Second district, F. H. Foss was made chairman and H. NJ. Lerou clerk. Herman Alofsin presented the name of George H. Stanton, who was unanimously chosen, and his name will be presented to the caucus by Clerk Lerou.
 There was harmony in the Third dis trict, where L. H. Geer was chairman and John Mckinley clerk. Charles W. Pearson, named by Edward Crooks, will be the nominee from that district.
 Because of lack of attendance in the Fourth district 1t is probable that Committeeman Hale will remain, or someone else be appointed for the place. There was no quorum and no action was taken.
 In the Fifth district. George W. Beardow was made chairman and James Graham clerk. The latter nomi- hated John Reeves for committeeman and will present his name to the eau GUS.
 In the Sixth district, Casper K Bailey was chosen chairman and A. R Monroe nominated James Blackburn as a member of the town committee from the district, his name to be presented to the republican town caucus next Friday for ratification.

REDUCTION IN CITY WATER RATES
Proposed For the Small Consumers Using Meters-ne be Extended to Tuberculosis Sanatorium With Councils Approval-Plumbers' Licenses Issued

Several important matters came be- fore the monthly meeting of the board of water commissioners on Friday aft ernoen, including the extension of the water main to the tuberculosis sani- tariun and the adoption of new rules for the board
 The plan for laying the six-inch main frcm Bushnell place to the Post place, distance of 1900 feet in the highway, was approved of. This will be for the purpose of supplying city water to the tuberculosis sanatorium, which will build it's line from that point to the institUtien This action is subject to the approval of the court of common council which will have it to act upon Monday night
 New rules were presented for ac- ton at this meeting and they were adopted and will be referred to the council for approval. The last set of rules was adopted in 1897 and the last fifteen years have shown opportunity for improvements in many instances though the changes are in no way radical.
 There is an important change. how ever, concerning the price of water to the small consumer, which will be ACnA AlCu WAli i1tutstl llltltSl. IL lS DIO- posed to reduce the price of water by meter to $1.25 for 800 cubic feet or less or less each quarter. $1.50 for quanti- ties between 5e0 and 750 gallons, and g. for over 150 gallons up to 1000 gallons This will be the minimum charge. The minimum now is Sl.50 for 800 cubic feet or less and g for all over 500 gallons up to 1000 gall Ions. This makes the meter rate for 500 gallons a quarter the same as the s5 yearly rate. It is hoped in time to have tEe entire city metered.
 The board has decided to remove the pipe line from Rockwell street to Mo- began lake, which will be more than enough to lay the new line to the sanatorium. Just when this work will be started is not known, but the need of that line has been overcome ny the pumping station and the removal and carriage of the pipe will be much

FAIRVIEW GAINS NINE INCHES.
No Question About the Filling, as Meadow Brook Now Has Enough to
 Do That.

When Superintendent Corkery visit ed FairView reservoir Friday after noon, about two o'cloc, he found it was 31 inches below highwater mark, a gain of nine inches since Thursday. There are 75 inches of water over the 24-inch pipe at Meadow brook, which will be suffic.e ent to fill Fairview, now, it is believed, and it will be only short tnie before 1t will fill, and that supply will be shut off and allowed to accumulate there instead of sending it into Fairview to run over the spill way. It will be possible to keep wa ter at Meadow brook for six weeks at least, and Fairview will be able to gain from its own watershed some what, though by June first the con sumption may draw 1t down slightly and 1t can be relilled from Meadow brook. This will be the first time since 1908 that it has been filled, it having filled previously in 1903. 1904 and 19Gl
 The rainfall measured Friday nom ing amounted to 190 inches, making a total for the month of 793. which will be further increased by the rain of Friday afternoon. This will be the third largest rainfall in the past forty years.
 The running of the pumping station from May to December of last year was a big factor in keeping Fairview up where it was permitting it to fill this spring.
