Seventeen years in the United States military service, five of which in the Philippines have counted doubIe' IS the record of Sergeant-Major Walter E. Waite, a Bridgeport boy who has just returned from Honolulu on leave of absence. l-t A
 Sergeant-Major Waite, who was present at the sinking of the U., s. submarine F-4 and witnessed the great diving feat performed by a govern ment diver in descending nearly Soo feet with nothing but a helmet on hls person, will be remembered by his many friends in this city as one of the first to volunteer for service in Bridge port during the Spanish American war. He is member of N. w. Bishop camp, Spanish War veterans, and was in time to march with that body at the last Memorial day services.
 Speaking of the loss of the F-4, Ser geant-Major~ Waite said: 1.-The delay in bringing this boat to the surface Sis due to the gas compression within. It lis now almost positive that gas ex- pIosion caused the deaths and de- struction of the vessel Government divers have been inside of the. hull by this time, for it has slowly been re- moved from one depth to another un- til the vessel now lies in but 50 feet of water. The bodies of those on board are literally blown to pieces by the ac-

 In his travels about this country and over the Pacific Waite has been pro- noted in position until he now holds the highest post permitted by a non commissioned officer. He has seen service in Texas, California, the Phil ippines and Hawaiian islands, now be- ing located with the 1st U s. infantry at Scofie1d Barracks, Honolulu, where 5000 troops are stationed
 Waite enlisted in Bridgeport during 1898, attaching himself to Battery B, list Conn. volunteers. He was sta tioned at Mantle, thence going to Fort Griswold. He later re-enHsted in the 5th Artillery, being sent to the, Phil ippines. There, he met among other soldiers n Bridgeport James Ram sey, then attached to the 14th infan- try. Waite was one of those detailed to guard Aguinaldo. During his first three years of service in the Philip pines he was advanced to the rank of sergeant. In 1902 he enlisted in the 11th Infantry, going to Mindanao and other points around Manila. He was in the /Bolo insurrection.
 After a return to the United States following five years and seven months in the Island possessions he enlisted in the recruiting service, being sta- tioned in Oklahoma and Texas. in charge of main station with seven sub-stations.

 One Dog Goes Mad.
Especial to The Farmer )

Fairfield, June 9.-Dog Warden LeRoy P. Beach wiped out the in- habitants of the Fairfield pound at one full sweep yesterday, when one dog went mad and bit the others. Fairfield's ever ready warden shot all the animals.
 Residents of Mill Plain, Southport and the neighborhood of BuIkeIey's pond are in fear as a result of the Journeys of a mad dog yesterday. The animal, registered as the property of Albert Carpinski, became crazed and ran through these districts on a ram page. Three animals are known to have been bitten and it is not known how many others may have been in nocuIated with the fatal hydropho- bia germ. The head of the crazed dog, which was shot, has been sent to Midd1etown, to determine wheth- CT or not the dog had a case of rab- ies, as is believed very likely.
