PROTESTS ALDERMEN's ACTION
In Refusing to Extend City Water to
Northern Limit.

Editor Times At a meeting of the
board of aldermen last Tuesday, |
naticed in The Times OF the following
day, the water committee brought in an
unfavorable report to the petition of the
property owners asking for the extern
sion Of the city water from Jones broth
ers' plant to the city limits. | under
stand the reasons for doing so were
shortage of funds, too late in the sea-
son and that the investment would not
warrant the expense. Now we can ex-
pend IS 500 in buying an auto fire truck
when it is pretty well along in the sea-
son and there didn't seem to be any
shortage OF funds, the price considered.
II that outlay of money will warrant
the expense, the Majority of the tax
payers do not seem to think so. and be-
fore next May a whole lot more will be
of the same opinion.
Now as an interested citizen and
granite cutter, | firmly believe in doing
everything that is for the benefit of the
public. | am convinced that if the
water committee had investigated, as
they were instructed, before bringing in
their adverse report and had interview
ed the property owners, and especially
the employees of the firm of 0ssola &
Dunghi, the report would have been al
together different.
We have three granite cutters on the
board of aldermen and tool sharpener
who is a shining light in that body, and
may his shadow never grow less.
would ask them no wthey would like to
stand and inhale the odor of sewage
water as they have to at the plant OF
Ossola a Dunghi. for that is all they
have TO use at that plant. The stencil
from il is abominable and enough to
create an epidemic of typhoid fever.
Aside from the sanitary question, it
seems to me that with the present prop
erty owners that would use it, and in
view of the great real estate prospects
in that vicinity it ought to be done
1t seems that some of our aldermen,
instead of encouraging our manufac- |
turers to greater efforts, are deliberately |
home industries and en-
them to locate elsewhere. II |
they do not have the interests OF the |
at heart, they certainly |
should have the interests of their poor |
proletariat brothers.
God knows that the tuberculosis germs |
Of the stone shed will kill them quick
enough without pumping the typhoid
germs from the sewer. Save us from
The beasties.

All Quincy stands with Mayor Fitz-

tons new city hall annex should be built
of granite, instead of Indiana limestone,
in spite of the fact that it may cost
$57 900 more. 1t is not fostering home
Industries for Boston to go to the middle
West for building material, when it

changed and that granite will be used

Just A WORD TO THE LEGISLA.
TURE.

TURE.
With the biennial session of the Vei d.
mont legislature at hand, it is the time
10 give advice, supposedly. AT least we
hdge so from the remarks being made
Iy various contemporaries to the pros
,ective legislators. In fact, the remarks
lave become so numerous that the leg
slators are apt to become confused.
Therefore, without trying to add to that
pnfusion, The Times simply would like
10 adjure them to tend to their business
ind not to allow their attention to be
Inverted to some inconsequential mat
crs, whether those matters be connected
Nth the legislature or not. There will
We plenty of distractions to be placed
efore the newcomers in Montpelier, but
he most of these distractions are OF
title consequence, or are so arranged
hat others can attend to them without
outside assistance. Therefore, let the
legislators come to Montpelier prepared
% do as their oath requires them Let
hem attend their committee meetings
md let them get grasp on the bills
which come before the Legislature for
mactment. Let them be prepared to
,ote according to their own convictions
hther than on the say-so of some lead
us or supposed leaders of the House
md the Senate.
If the prospective electors resolve to
% this and stick to this resolve. we feel
IRE that they will carry out the wishes
their constituents better than the,

The Michigan savant, who claims he
has vaccine to prevent tuberculosis
should not keep the secret locked up in
his mind. At least he should let its
beneficent influence be felt. There are
too many people dying of the disease
and others laid liable to catch it to
refuse the world the privilege of the vac
cine. This savant told the recent by
gene convention in Washington, d. c.,
that he had such preventive; and that
was all he told Out with the knowl-
edge, Professor, or let tho public have

Prince Of the Poets.

plane Mallarme used to live, and read .
poem which he had written in honor
Of the anniversary. He left the cafe

said: "Ah, we'll: l would be going to
rest-if only l need not wake again."
The good woman scolded him for
saying such things, and soon after his
brother called and stayed with him
till two in the morning. Next day
he was discovered lifeless in his room,

Prisoners Seated at Small Tables.


Preparations have been completed
ut the federal penitentiary for seating
the prisoners at small tables in the
djning-room instead of seating all the
800 men together at long, low benches.
The new method of seating the pris-
oners for their meals is one of a num-
Der of improvements which the ward
en- has made in the prison system In
the past few years. 1t involved the
relaying Of the dining-room floor and
the manufacturing of 104 small, neat
tables for the men.
Each table will seat eight men, and
under the new arrangement white and
colored prisoners will be separated.
Formerly the men were seated in
rows on benches at long, desk-like
tables, and there was no discrimina-
ton as to color.
Believing that the new system
would conduce nor largely to the
individual prisoners ~self-respect and
aid in establishing a new viewpoint as
to his obligations, the warden succeed
cd in providing the small tables.-At

First Ballot Early This Morning


Baltimore, Nd, June 2S.-After
tumultuous night of wild clamor for
candidates none was nominated on
the first ballot at 6:S4 O'Clock this
morning.
The convention was called at S:1S
p. m. The roll call for all of the
states for nominee for president be-
gan at 1O:3O last night. Shortly at
ter a motion to continue the session
until after the first ballot WAS
passed. A wild demonstration for
Clark was followed by a greater one
for Wilson Minor demonstrations
followed the nominations of Harmon,
Baldwin, Marshall and Underwood
The balloting started at 6:S4 a. m.
The first bailat, which resulted in no
nomination, was as follows: Bryan I:
sulzer, New York, 2; Clark 44O1s;
Wilson 424 Underwood ll71h; Har-
mon 14S; Marshall s5; Baldwin %.
Necessary to choice 726 No candi-
date received the necessary two
thirds A recess followed.
The ballot OF the early morning
was taken today as the starting point
for all speculation about the demo
cratic convention as to who would
be its candidate for president. All
eyes were centered on New York,
Illinois and Indiana. The feeling was
general that the nominee OF the con-
vention is assured Of practically the
solid south next November and all
energies were being bent to add to
this conceded southern strength the
additional strength of the pivotal
northern states. notably Illinois and
Indiana, which would combine enough
electoral votes from the north and
south to secure a victory.
Messrs Murphy Sullivan and Tag
CART, the three leaders of these north
ern states, have been in constant
consultation and have been working
