Dwellings lead the list in the num-
Der of fires in 1890, with 258. Again in
1881, they are first with 642 In 1890,
stores, with 50 fires are second, but
in 1881, automobiles and truck fires
increase from % to 166 to rank second
in the classification.
The bulletin gives some interesting
information in its classification of fires
by cause of origin. In 1880, defective
chimneys accounted for 43 fires and
overheated stoves caused 80, to lead the
list. Children who played with matches
caused II, cigarette smokers. rs and
people smoking in bed three.

Take Many Lives.
Of especial interest is the number
of deaths by fire which the statistics
indicate. In 1880, 81 people met their
death as result of fire or burns and
in 1881, the toll was 40 Conflagations
took the lives of IL people in 1880 and
nine in 1881, in which year gasoline
explosions took IA lives. Scalding hot
water took the lives of four babies in
1880 and three the following year. The
life of one Libby man, Harrison P,
Birmingham, was lost in conflagation
on May 30, 1881.
In a plea to make a. marked re-
duction in fire losses for, 1882, the bull

TWO-PLANOFORTE
 RECITAL PLEASED
Bruce and R0salind Sinl- Onds in Artistic Per-
 fOrmance Last Night
A REAL MUSICAL TREAT

The two-piano recital by Bruce and Rosalind Simonds at the Wa terbury WomenS Club last night was rare musical treat, an unique performance, and one that was warmly received by an enthusiastic audience. It is seldom that one hears on the concert stage this type of entertainment, which is common enough in private recital perform ances. It calls for more or less uniform piano performance. and the same time 1t must escape to the same time 1t must escape the much precision. MT and Mrs Si- monds have the similar ability and their playing is accurately timed for such playing; and at the same time 1t has naturalness and fluid- ity that made their renditions a pleasing thing to hear.
 Their program was selected with care and was happily suited for two pianos. Opening with Handel, the Concerto in B fiat Give short movements), in which both players achieved uniform grace and agil- ity, they continued with Couperin's "Musette de Taverny". A delight full Mozart number came next, "Duettino Concertante". These three compositions. concluded the first part of the program. Unde- niable artistry was evidenced throughout these three numbers; a precision in their execution tenn pered by a deeper feeling for the mood of the piece, but smoothness and fine tone at all times apparent.
 The second portion of the pro- l.n e,,n1 2, 1v,,x e,<.v r< beauty and color that appealed greatly to the ear. Opening with Arensky's Romance Valse" MT and Mrs Simonds followed with In- fante's 'Ritmo (Andulasian dance) then Rachmaninoff's "Barcarolle" then a country folk dance written by themselves, Scotch Cap"
 The third portion of their pro- gram was Saint Saens' Variations on theme by Beethoven" The artistic working out of the theme through many forms proved de- lightful performance and happily suited to the two-piano execution. It was a delightful number and concluded an equally delightful program. The artists responded to encores which included another Andulasian dance by Infante, "scherzo" by Arensky, and "Canon" by Schumann.
 The concert last night was pre- sented under the auspices of the Mattatuck Historical Art Society.
 MT and Mrs Simonds are from New Haven and their work on two pianos h..s received many fine notices throughout the state and elsewhere. Both have had similar musical careers, were born in Con- necticut, and are of colonial ances- try. Both have their music degrees from Yale and both also received the same fellowship for foreign study. All these singular circum- stances perhaps account in some measure for the unanimity of their interpretations and their success in this type of performance.

She recognized the work of fairies in much that she saw. Many times she said, Would mt it be nice to be a fairy ?" This belief in fairies and in the magic transformation often wrought by superhuman power was written in- to the stories that flowed from her pen and brought delight to count less children.
 In the summer of 1902, Mrs Bur- nett began the dramatization of her early child's book, Sara Crewe", which she eventually called "A Lit tie Un- Fairy Princess" a title 1t held for the production in England, but which was changed for Amer ica to "A Little Princess" The play found producer in Charles Dillingham;.

The play, up- on its production at the Criterion theater, in New York. on January IA, 1903, met with success quite equal to that which greeted Little Lord Fauntieroy", and brought Mrs Burnett into contact with hundreds of delighted children and parents.

ABBRT0IR MAY TAKE IN S4, ,OO0 THIS YEAR
Amount Of $3,225
 In Fees Is Already
 Reported On Books
Expected to Realize at Least s5;OOO in Full Year Birth and Death Rates in City Decline Ask License Fees for Restaurants

Waterbury's abattoir, although open only since last May, has al- ready taken in $3.225 in fees for the city, Dr Peter T. Keeley, muni< cipal milk and food inspector, re- ported to the board of health at its meeting yesterday. Members of the board expressed satisfaction with the showing made. Dr Keeley stated that he expects to reach the $4,000 mark before the ciosef of the year.
 There is no way of comparing the income at the abattoir with any other year as 1t was only opened early this year. However, the commissioners estimated that it would be safe to figure an in- come of $5,000, annually, from the slaughter house. It is likely that this is,the figure the finance board will set in setting up the schedule of 1883 assets.
 Yesterdays meeting of the health board was one of the long est in some time. Dr E. J. Godfrey reported to the board that the death and birth rates in the city have declined during the past year. A very great drop has been noted in the infant mortality rate. The death rate this year is 9.3 per cent as compared with 9.S per cent for last year. This years birth rate is 14.7 as compared with 15.4 for last year. This years

 pr Godfrey suggested to the board that license fees be collected from places of business selling foods, such as restaurants. He ex- plained the city has to inspect these places and that nevertheless no fee is charged when licenses are issued. The board took no ac- ton. Dr Godfrey also suggested that the board take steps to reach an understanding with the Water- bury Medical association relative to the care of people at the free clin+ ics.
 The doctors claim that many families able to pay are taking ad- vantage of the clinics and getting free service. At the same time the doctors give their time. free in these same clinics. Dr Godfrey said that steps would be taken to set up a new procedure to be fol- lowed so as to eliminate treatment of persons able to pay for medical and surgical services.
 It was voted to ask the aldermen to amend the ordinance concern ing the slaughtering of animals ;lt the local abattoir so as to require specifically the presence of a H- censed veterinarian at all killings.
