 The New Britain Herald:

One would SUD- pose khat after 8 set of girls had re- fused to do @ job, at the price set on at, that they wouad be ashamed evan so peep, much less d1a1nor for 1t after some one else had made good on it. No division of the work was made. without tho sanction of the sl- perantendent, furthermore the meet ing referred to, In the center of tho town, was but a few minutes before the return to tho mill, what & pity 1t 1s that there are so many poor be- ntehted souls who don't know when they are treated white.
 Yours respectfully, TTIE FOREMAN. To Have Open House.
 Court General Lawton, E. of A. at It's meeting last evening voted to have the formal opening of thsdr social quauters in the Grange building take place on Friday, December 22. On the evening of that day the members will entertain their friends and wtll give an opportunity to the people of the town to inspect their club rooms.
 There will be a drawing for tur- keys for Christmas in connection with the formal opening of the rooms.
 The Foresters last night had as their guests representatives of the Southdngton court who came here to seek the cooperation of the local or ganization in connection with the flair to be held in the neighbortng borough in February. The committee in charge plans to have a Plainville night and members from this place will furnish the entertainment. The visitors received assurance that the local court will be of whatever as- sistance possible.
 The social club connected with the organization decided to postpone its election of officers until Thursday night when special meeting will be held

 Still After Water On
 While evidence gathered by the health officer since the outbreak of the typhoid epidemic has tended to discourage the belief, entertained by some of the residents, that the disease had it's source in the reservoir water, men back of the effort made at g. re- cent town meeting to have the select man Investigate the supply are con- tinuing their agitation and declare themselves to be disappointed at what they term the slowness of the officials to get results. They do not explain exactly what they want but they seem to hold to the opinion som ething should be done to show definitely that the germ is not traceable to the reser- vofr. Health Officer Bull Is certainly earning his "muniflcent" salary of $40 a year in his efforts to perform the duties entrusted to him besides giving consideration to hundreds of sugges- ttons emanating from various sources and at the same time investig gating scores of reports, practically all of which are invariably found to be without any foundation The action of the recent town meet ing had not legal standing a1t1 was but an expression of sentim eht by those present. However, the select man and health officer are apparently doing what they can to carry out the suggestions and their supporters be- shown by the townspeople.
 ! It is generally admitted that even l though the analysis of the water show it to be free from disease germs and containing no impurities which might endanger the health of the company's patrons, something should be done to imporve the supply during the sum mer months. Vegetable growths in the bottom of the reservoir make the water anything but palatab1e during the warm weather The od,or and

So far only a thin film of ice has ap- peared on the ponds and this soon sappeared under the warm sun. Re- pairs are being made to the ice houses and to the runways, so that when the time comes there will be no delay in harvesting what there is Chances are that if something does not happen in the freeze line in a very short time there will be plenty of talk about the high cost of ice in the days to come.

Plainville masons are anticipating a. most interesting session of Fred erick lodge, A. F. and A. M., to be held this evening in Masonic temple. Matters of importance, including the annual reports and the election of of ficers for the ensuing year, will come before the session.
 The election is expected to result in the promotion to the worshipful masters chair of Edwin H. Hills. MT. Hills has filled the duties of the place since the removal from town of George R. Hebden. who was worship ful master for the past year.
 The committee in charge of the en- tertainment to be given in connection with the meeting has arranged to servo a supper during the evening. Rev. Warren F. Cook of New Britain has accepted an invitation to deliver an address on matters pertaining to masonry.
 Fought With Officer.
 James Wells of Burnside, was fined SIP and the costs of prosecution, S7 for intoxication and $5 for breach of the peace, this morning when he was arraigned before Justice E. P. Prior Wells got into difficulties yesterday afternoon which resulted in his land ing in the lookup, and his appear ance in court this morning.
 Constable Cornelius Downing found the man on the railroad tracks. He was sleeping off a jag and was using the rail for his pillow when the off Ger discovered him. The constable se- cured the assistance of Albert Diggle in bringing the prisoner to the lock up. He was "dead weight" until the policeman started to search his cloth ing before putting him in a cell. At this point Wells suddenly came to life and put up stiff battle with his cap tcVs. It was necessary to handle him rather roughly before he could be subdued.
 This morning the accused was in a penitent mood. He could remem- Der but little of what occurred yes- terday. He left his place of employ ment in Burnside, he said,to visit his mother in New Haven. While en- route for the Elm City he met some friends and the party celebrated un- wisely, his appearance on the railroad tracks in a drunken condition re- sulting.
