The 'board of public works Is getting Hail Oohwnibia In certain quarters be cause it Is not -taking more kindly to the arbitrary methods of the state highway, commission r with reference as to where and In what manner Wa terbury shall Improve , its highways. But from till accounts the members of that body are not wondering a-t what has been said; what they cannot under stand Is why they have not received a wor.se scoring. They know who is back of this project and ..are . fully ware of the fact that they are In a position to create a strong sentiment in favor of their pet scheme and a bit ter feeling, towards those who are standing between them and what they so "ranch desire. From the Inception of this .matter everylfhlng that has ta-. ken; place In connection with' It has furnished a splendid example of how tfhings ought not to be done. It has been a case of endeavoring to coerce public officials Into diverting money from Its proper channels for the spe cial benefit of a few men, who think that because they haye the state ma chine and a few millionaires back of them that no .man or ; body of men should dare take sides against them. It Is plainly the intention of the law that municipalities shall select such roads "Its are to be Improved under the good rond? act subject to the appro-a.1 of the highway commissioner, but In this case the conwnissioner usurped J(he rights of the local authorities and did the selecting as well as the ap proving. It may be wise for cities to permit Mr . MacDonald ' to ride rough shod' over them and take what he Is willing to gi ve - them' rather, than go without anything, but it might sur prise some enthusiastic admirers of the: MJddlebutry road question to know that maony ,very good citizens believe exact ly as the department of public works does. on this matter and hope to see good come of it. The state has-made an autocrat of Mr MacDonald ' be wields imperial power., and while no body doubts bis honesty of purpose iE would be 'manifestly unfair to assume that he is Infallible, and for this rea son it does seem that there should be some tribunal before which the high way commissioner and municipalities wfho could not agree might appear and settle their differences. But m the meantime we should make the best we can of the situation as we find' tt,f and viewing it from this standpoint some claim that it would be wise to v go ahead with the work and when the proper time comes take such steps as are necessary to get towns and cities from under the highway commission er. : rrapp. It is ald that some such ac tion as this will be taken at the next session of the board, but there is noth mg certain about that. One thing tht can be said without running any risk of being accused of getting wide of the mark is - that ."heaven ' and earfih" is 'being moved "to club, the "pigheaded" members of the board into submission. ' GAME VERY SCARCE. X SAILED FOR A CRUISB. San Francisco, Oct 22. The cruiser Marblehead and the training ship Mo hican have sailed for a cruise along the coast of Mexico.

' A Water bury sportinar man told a Democrat reporter to-day that so far as ne knew game never was scarcer In Waterbury than it is this season. He said that quail and partridge will soon be things of; the past in this part of the state if something is not done to save them when the law is on-and that he couldn't account for the ab sence of squirrels. The only consola tion he could see for the man with the gun was in the flight of the woodcock and he was not sure . whether ... this would amount to much, either.Thls particular disciple ; of Nlmrod almost shed tears at what he called. the gass ing of the quail and told how hard he had labored last winter to keep a covy from .perishing in the woods not far from the center. By constant atr tention he got them ' over the bad weather and during the spring and a portion' of the summer took a, keen dft lisrht In listening to them shouting "Bob White" to each other in the tall grass. . He lost track of them a few months ago and cannot understand what bernme of them. They had skipped or were killed before the law was off. He was of the opinion that cats, weasels and snakes are fast kill ing off . partridges and quail and hoped to see something done ta protect the birds from their natural enemies. ; . DESERTER WELL FED. Stealing from Refrigerators at Army Officers'. Homes. ' " New York. Oct 22. The mysterious disappearance of juley 'beefsteaks and various edibles from refrigerator from the army officers homes on Gov ern o's Island has been solved by the captue of John Linden, a deserter.

Nevertheless, '.a thorough search was made, but it bore no fruit. Since then large quantities of meats and other good things have dlsap p eared nightly from the Ice chests In the areas about the officers' houses and the affair was stirring up much excitement about the post when a cap tain, after searching every foot of the island, entered the greenhouse and dis covered a trap door in the floor.
