WILLIAM O'BRIEN NOW
 MISSING FOUR WEEKS
West Side Man Who Left His Home
 Despondent Not Located Yet.


 Four weeks today have now passed since William O'Brien of Avery street was last seen by anyone who certain ly knew him and his family are still without any solution of what has be- come of him. Just after his disappear ance reports were received from 8 number of different localities of men seen who answered his description. more or less, and these were followed up. but without result in locating the man, who fle this home following a period of mental depression and des- pondency.
 In the search for him which has been carried on by his relatives, prac- tically the entire region around here and as far west as the Connecticut river has been covered and everything that they could think of has been done 4to discover traces of him, but without result. In the opinion of the local police there are just two definite oc- casions on which he has been cer- tainly seen since he left his home and the city. He was surely seen the day afterwards at Stony Brook reservoir by George H. Nolan, who was well acquainted with him. Then the man who was seen at the Gallivan place been Mir O'Brien. These are the two occasions on which it is thought he was definitely located All other re- ports are looked upon as too hazy to have much value. but wherever there was hope that he might be found his relatives have followed up the clue, hoping to relieve the terrible anxiety to which they have been a prey since his disappearance. While at present they are not carrying on any continuous search for him they are ready to follow any clue which may be offered and at the first report would respond to trace down anything which might offer, solution of the my Stery

BEWARE OF TOO MUCH LieHT. Excess Invites Shortsightedness, oph
 thaImoiogists Say.

Chicago. July 3.-A nerica is devel- oping a race of short-sighted people, was the warning delivered yesterday by Dr. c. G. Fellows, of Chicago, in an address before the convention of the American Homeopathic, Ophthal- mological, and Laryngological society in session here. His assertions were backed up by other speakers. who de- clared office workers use too much light
 Tt is astounding how many persons are short-sighted," said Dr. Fellows. The development of short sightedness or progressive myopia in adults is due to the manner in which they study in school. The prevention is early and frequent examination of children for eye troubles"
 Most people don't need half the light they. use," said Dr. H. D. Schenck of Brooklyn. Clerks and bookkeepers will have a big burner right over the books they work on They will tell you it is a beautiful light, but they are burning out their eyes. If we de- crease the excess light we decrease the danger of sightdness."
 Thirty of the thirty seven ophthal- molegists present yesterday wore glasses.

FIhE DEPARTMENTS LARGEST YEAR
174 Calls Up te close of JuneNne Mere Than Best Pre- veus Recerd-Total Loss of $144,1s7 in $s92,549 at Risk

Having compiled the fire record for the year. Chief Howard l.. Stanton finds that the twelve months ending for number of alarms that the depart ment has ever had as there have been TIA while the best previous high figure was 165 which was two years ago The year just closed had also 25 r1ore alarms than the year that immediate ly preceded it.
 In contrast with the present big rec ord Is shown the activity of the de- partment in 1878 when there were IA alarms, in 1881 three alarms and in 1885 ten alarms.
 Besides having the high mark for number of alarms, the year just closed had some of the largs It fires either oc- curing or threatened by blazes that started and were kept under control In the first named class was the lum Der yard fire OH Central wharf last August and in the latter class the fire that started in the Austin building in January. Through the lumber yard gre, August showed as the month in which there was the largest insurance loss. the total for that month being $11O,936, while in January the insur- ance loss was 1t a total of $14,647, which included the Austin building fire
 For the whole year there was a total valuation at risk in the fires that occurred of sSs2,54s. upon which there was insurance of $6s1.93O, and insur- ance loss of $144,187. The month hav- ing the least number of alarms was September, with nine and a loss of S1S5. and the month having the most alarms was April with 2S and a loss of $2,297.
 In the year the department laid 46,300 feet of 1-2 inch hose which is equivalent to laying all the hose they have about five times over.

NIGHT BEFORE WAS
 SAFE AND SANE.
Hardly Anything to Show We We're on
 the Eve of the Fourth of July.


 There was little indication Thursday Glorious Fourth, although the crowd about the streets was rather larger than usual and wore something of a holiday air. The noise which usually accompanies the night before the Fourth was lacking. and but for a few scattered reports at about mid night, the night was a quiet one. The concert at the Maennerchor drew a good sized crowd in that direction dur ing the evening, and the members or the Taftville Pinochel club turned out in force to usher in the day. The opening of Lincoln park for the first time this year proved attractive to many people, while others sought the beaches to spend the holiday.
 Riting OH the trolleyS was heavy and on this account the cars on the Willimantic line were a little behind scheduAe during the evening.
 Dealers in fireworks found Thursday a busy day, and from the brIsk sale indications point to not exclusively safe and sane Fourth. During the afternoon baseball games will hold the attention of the fans of the city, all the local teams being scheduled for one or more games. At the state hos pital a programme of field sports has UScu arranged TOT lHe dIl0IUOO1, W1tll a baseball game between the Hospital boys and Clabby's Colts, composed of the leading amateur players of the city. Close competition is promised in the various events and big crowd from the city is expected at the hos pitale grounds.
 New London will also prove a popu- lar spot with Norwich people today, with the beach and a double header between NeW-41ondon and PittSfield as the drawing cards.
 There was heavy holiday travel on the railroads and trains during the lat ter part of the afternoon ran from 15 minutes to half an hour late, due to waiting for connections with New York trains. Evening trains on the New Haven road had from one to two extra cars on them
 Baggage from New York was late, as the baggage department in New York had more than it could handle and the pieces in many cases could not be sent on the trains on which their owners travelled

 In June there were 13 alarms, six of which were bell alarms.
 For the Fourth.
 In preparation for the Fourth of July Chief Stanton had all the men of tee department sleeping at the fire houses on Thursday evening and the same will be the regulation for tonight. Those Hfho were entitled to their days off had to give them up for this spe- c1al time and there were probably from 20 to P men at the Central station with six men in each of the other sta tions at the West Side, Main street and at the Falls. Chief Stanton himself slept at the Central station, while As sistant Chief Bernhard slept at his own home with c. V. Pendleton under orders to keep watch for alarms and be prepared to go after him with his side car motorcycle should an alarm ring in. This has been found a very effective way of getting the assistant chief to fires.
 Hardly a Fourth goes by without an alarm, although last year it was not until evening that the bell rung when a balloon dropped blazing piece of paper. on the roof of the German Lutheran church. The year before that there were two alarms.
 The chief has been at work for sew eral days having the businessmen and citizens generally take hold of the proposition of cleaning up the waste matter about the streets and debris that may have collected about their premises. The response has been gen era1 and there has been a general CO., operation on the part of the citizens to take every precaution in the matter of fires with July 4th due.
 Thursday every rubbish pile and ev- cry piece of litter and waste paper or empty box or barrel was eliminated from the danger zone. Especially about Franklin square has the chief centered his effort and every business man has given his word that his prem ises will be shipshape over the Fourth so that stray sparks from fireworks will not do any damage.

genuine four legged chicken was exhibited Thursday evening at The Bulletin office, one out of matching or white Plymouth Rocks belonging to w. K. Beetham of Preston.
