The city hall "squatters." say the Waterbury American, who. by the way, are occupying their same old quarters in the old probate court room_ were visited this morning by an old woman, who claims that she has been abuse by the Bridgeport and Waterbury city officials and who insisted upon telling her story to the young lady typewrit- ers. in spite of the fact that the oven seer was not at all pleased with the in- terruption of business. The old wom- an. who, when asked for her name, am swered that it was "Pudding Tame.” also said she came to Waterbury about a year ago. but because they thought her insane, the selectmen sent her back to Bridgeport in charge of a char» ll. . ‘I want to see that sheriff," she said. “He put me on the train and rode in the rseutl behindune. 0n them down he proposed to, me.

Milkmen hereabouts will be interest ed, and quite likely amused to learn that the; milk commission of the Medl cal Society of the county of New York has discovered that the beards and mustache are microbe and dust catch- ers and render contamination of milk more probable. Hence an order has gone forth from the head push that all men thereabouts who handle milk for the market must dispense with mus- tache and beard. The rule applies to both the men who milk the cows and those who deliver It. It is fair to as some that the hair of the head is quite suitable to be the rendezvous of germs of one kind or. another, and an order to remove this also may follow. And what a distinguishing mark it would be for that profession—«lieu face and bald head! Then. of course, the cows would have to he uhaved..as ltgoeu without saying that a germ that could live .in a well kept heard or a contact lone-curled mustache. would thrive in the mallard hair of the cow. , At this distance away the edict looks “too fun or for Wthing. " The affair is the calculus of the in vestigation of the milk supply at the instigation of John D. Rockfeller. through the Rockefeller institute. which he endowed. It will be interesting to watch the outcome of this amusing requirement ;W THE DANBURV HATTERO’ FAIR. Blj' lv'unt Will OM is the Armory Next Week Saturday.

Sullivan has still some light left in him. At the Pawtucket. R. l.. Opera House. last night. says the Evening Times, he fought a two-round bout with the human interest drama. and almost got the count. it was an interesting battle all the way through. at d after the first round (or rather. at- fer the first appearance of John Law- rence) the result was never in doubt. HP was clearly entitled to the decision. 01’ course. the drama had its mom- ents. too. and in the fourth act a re- volver bullet from the gun of Marks, the lawyer. cut short his career as Le- gree. and he went down and took the full count. It looked to the expert like a draW.. but that great referee called the public couldn't see anything but Sullivan all the way through. and so the decision must be given to the ex- champion. As, Honest. John Kelly would say. “All lists are off." James J. Corbett said upon one oc- casion just following an interesting event at New Orleans in which John L. was a party of the second part "The American public will never for- give me for dethroning their idol.“ And it looks as though they never will. The house was packed to the doors, and the reception the big fellow re— ceived must have warmed the cochlea of his heart. He was the only thing in sight from the moment he debuted from the M. E. wings as Simon Legree. the rough. brutal whip- pcr of slaves and murderer almost of his mother. it was some time before the nudi- oncc would let the play proceed and then he was forced to make a speech. John I... in the role of villain, did not seem to fit in with the‘plcture of John L. as all around sport and good fellow. and one of the audience said: “Ain't dat a shame? Hard luck. .lohn. you shouldn't have be do it." But the once doughty dealer of up- per cuts and straight punches has a stage career in view and cures naught for sentiment in front of the footllghts so long as he plays his part well. For his role of [Aimee there is always biases. but they are compli- ments in his acting. With Chester- flcldian grace that would fit in society comedy. the big fellow bowed and bent lso also did the stagcl and said: "Ladies and gentlemen—4 thank you for this reception. and i want to tell you l'm the same John L. Sullivan at heart. although i am playing a vil- lian. Under the circumstances, 1 want you to excuse if." it was a moving moment ill the drama. but the crowd and the sports were with the man who new signs himself “actor until death,” and they handed him bunches of applause even while he was whipping the slaves or Uncle Tom. He had his lines down “pat." and his swagger as the typical Legree. with bull thonged whip. was realistic enough to scare the seven daylights out of any bunch of colored rousiabouts that ever worked on a New Orleans levee. He was genuinely good. and he deserved the big black letters with which his name was printed upon the program. The play itself? Yes. come to think of it, there was a play at the opera house. last night. and a mighty good production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." But who thinks much of the play when the renowned. popular one of the peo- ple. John Lawrence Sullivan. of Boston and the world. can be seen and heard? However. it was among the. best pro- ductions of “Uncle Tom's Cabin" seen here in many moons. Tile good. old drama was interpreted by a splendid cast, and added to this actuality were the accompaniments of good scenery and clever specialties. vA Stewart Lewis was impressive as Uncle Tom. and if he is able to last through the season. with the knocks he gets from Sullivan. he will have earned as highs niche in physical fame for that one thing. as he already has in dramatic fame for his capable act- ing.
