WINNIPAUK.
The fact has recently come to the knowl-
edge of our local ofliccr of the Game Associa-
tion, that the game laws are being openly vi-
olated every day by persons who are killing
off our choice varieties of birds for “stufling.”
The skins are cured here then packed in
boxes and sent to England, and the fact has
been ascertained that a considerable number
of boxes have been thus shipped. This vio-
lotion of the law must be stopped, and if this
gentle hint is not sufficient, then a rigid en-
forcement of the law must follow. “A word
to the wise, etc.”
Winnipaukers can have a good time just
when they please, and they please to have
one during the present week. The Library
Association hold a strawberry festival on
Tuesday and Wednesday evening, and the
usual good time is anticipated. Strawberries,
strawberry shortcake, ice cream and all the
other goodies usually to be had on such oc-
casions will be provided in abundance. Be
sure and come or you will miss a treat.

To reach this happpy result, the parish re-

of selling a part of the rectoryi'grounds. Mr.
P. C. Lounsbury was :the purchaser, who is
so much of a temperance man that he is ‘

the sake of the: springs that are on it, which
he purposes to conduct to his residence.

Willow Brook Cemetery attracts many vis-
itors these pleasant Sunday afternoons. Its
fine walks, surroundings, and views of dist—
ant hiils and cultivated lands, form of them-
selves a picture worthy of being seen. About
$5,000 have been paid out by the corporators
who feel that the verdict of coming genera-
tions as to their wisdom will be in the‘ form
of a decided approval. In reality an abode
for the (lead, this ground has attractions for
the living. Nature has smiled heartily all
along as the hand of art has improved and
beautified a heretofore unsightly place, and
instead of dread, the visitor now enters with
feelings of delight. A tasty little dwelling
has been erected near the main entrance, and
a person competent to take care of the
grounds and attend to all cemetery work
resides in it. it is proposed to keep the tract
in fine order the year round. When the fact
that Westport has eight district burial places
is considered, and that not one of them is
properly attended to, the question is instinc
tively asked, “Why was not Willow Brook
Cemetery thought of thirty years ago?" With
one or two exceptions, desirable burial lots
cannot be obtained at any price in the old
grounds. The new ground will be ample for
all requirements for generations to come.

A Chinaman at a. Masquerade.
Night before last, on the occasion of the
Turn Verein masquerade, a carriage called at
a house in the southern part of the town.
The driver rapped at the frontZdoor and said
he had called for the young lady that was to
go to the ball. He was told that he must
have mistaken the house, but he insisted that
he had not. He knew he was right and
wanted the lady to come at once if she was
ready. The master of the house is something
of a joker. He went into the kitchen and told
his Chinaman that he was to go to the ball and
help about the supper; that a carriage was
waiting to take him to the place, and if he
did his work well,he would get $5 for his
night’s work.
The eyes of the Celestial fairly sparkled
with delight. He donned his best blue frock
and rimless cap and left the house at once.
When he approached the carriage the eyes
of the driver expanded wildly but he opened
the carriage door and politely assisted the
supposed masker into it, then drove off,
thinking what a stunner he had inside. _
Presently the ‘carriage stopped at another
house and took in a “gorilla” and a “ Piute
squaw.” , The Chinaman was a good deal
alarmed at the sight of these, and fired off a
string of his native lingo, winding up with.
“What you come in here? You tink me
field? You no makec me flaid—dam foolee!”
The gorilla growled fiercely, ynd the Plate
squaw said, “ You one heap big Shinaman,
me but you! You talk um pooty-good."
John fumed and fretted about having the
queer creatures in the vehicle with him, fre-
‘quentiy pokin out his head,and calling upon
the driver to stop and put them out, at all of
which the: gorilla growled, and the squaw
laughed heartily. “You bet your life,” said
the driver to himself, “she’s the chief ! If
she don‘t carry off that gold watch then the
fellows that gave out the first prize are
regular idiots.”
Finally Cooper’s Hall was reached, and
the Chinaman being assisted to alight, fol-
lowed the others into the hall. The driver
was so pleased with the manner in which this
young lady played her part that he was de-
termined to see more of her. He got a
brother “whip” to look out for his team a
moment, and entered the hall with the new
arrival. . .
When they reached the examining commit-
tee the “ gorilla” and “ squaw” made it right
at once by giving their names. When asked
his name the Chinaman said: " Quen Sing.”
“ Yes we know,” said the committee; “but
your right name. We must know the right
name of every person we admit.
" What for; you taikee name ? Me tellee
you me name Quen Sing. Come, no foolee;
me washee dish, fixee supper l” .
“ Really you must give us your true name.
It is a rule we can’t—"
“It’s Miss—," whispered the drvier to
the doorkeepcr, “and, ob, she's a good one!
Let her right in ;_”_she’il fool ’em all.”
“ Ah! oh i" said the doorkeepcr, and John
marched'right along in.
Once he was inside the fearful things that
met his gaze nearly frightened him out of his
wits. Nothing but the hope of getting his
$5 prevented his slampeding at once. His
frightened look soon began to attract attention
as a fine piece of acting, and the “Fireman’s
Daughter,” “ Dundrcary” and “ Nan the
Good-for-Nothing,” wanted to see more of
him, and started to draw him out.
“Me waniec go kiehen, cookec supperfl
fixec table.”
“ Here is the way to the kitchen 1" shout-
ed “ Crazy Jane,” and she gave John a Whirl
that nearly took him off his feet.
“ This way i" cried "‘ Little.Bo-Pccp”
“ down here with the sheep.”
John was pulled and hauled in all direc-
'tions, even by the other Cliinaiiieii, who
grabbed at him in a language he did not un-
stand. He clamored for the kitchen, and
called everybody “damn fooltc,” causing
immense fun on account of his inimitable
naturainess.
To please him and to have fun below, the
“ Queen of .Spades” and the “ Brewer's
Daughter" escorted John to the lower hall,
where the supper was being prepared. Here
be caused roars of laughter by insisting upon
being shown where he was to begin work
and by making frequent mention of the “fife
dolia” he was to receive. The madder John
got, themore fun he made.
Finally to the surprise of all, he made a
break for the door, knocking over the "Queen
of Spades” in his flight and sped away in the
darkness, regardless of the dookceper’s cry
of “check, sir.”
Those who witnessed J ohn’s departure sup-
posed that he had only returned to the upper
hall, and said, “Such a make-up and such act-
ing is astounding! I wonder how she man-
ages to keep up the Chinese expression so
well. And the color, too. ~ It must be she
has a rubber mask.”
The wonderful Chlnaman was much sought
for when it came to awarding the prizes, but
could nowhere be found. He had won the
gold watch. but didn’t know it, for he was
down in Chinatown trying to get himself
drunk by smoking opium, which he couldn’t
do on account of the great number and length
of life Mongolian oaths lie was swearing.

Communism Unreasonable
Unscasonable.
Never before, anywhere, has there been
so little reason for Socialistic- movements as
at this time in this country. No men ever
and
to laws of their own. making as the Social-
ists now organizing, and drilling, and threat-
ening armed insurrection in all the chief
cities of the land. Every path to success, to
wealth is open to every one. There are no
privileged classes. Vanderbilt died a railway
king, worth millions, about a year ago. He
began a poor ferryman, towing or sailing his
boat himself. Cornell'died not long ago, in-
fluential, wealthy, leaving a noble University
a monument to his good sense and liberal.
ity. He too began as a common laborer on
the telegraphic lines he afterward owned and
controlled. The head of a great Express
Company was a few months ago followed to
his grave. At the outset he carried the par-
cels entrusted to him in a carpet-bag with his
own hands, afterward attained to the dignity
of a wheelbarrow, then rose to the posses-
sion of a horse and wagoii. Charles Morgan
was buried only a day or two ago. He left
millions to his heirs. He began with nothing.
The air is full of stories of his early struggles
his industry, his economy. his probity.
Henry, famous all over the world, the late
head of the Smithsonian Institute, was in his
youth a poor boy, but an honest, and indus-
trious, and courteous poor boy in Albany.
Easily could this page be filled with the
reminiscences that come tiironging in upon
us of men in the‘ East, and West, and North,
and South, native born, foreign born, white
and black, who have risen from the ranks to
wealth, and honor, and influence. And now
today in this free land, this land of the
peeple, in the face of this army of facts are
men forming associations and arming them-
selves that they may force the community
to give them a chance to get a living, when
the community is not laying a straw in their
way, when the only hindrances to their pro-
gress are their own indolence, and waste-
fulness, and turbulance, andfiscnsual indul-
gences. It ishard to treat such bodies with
seriousness. Overwhelming derision ought
to greet them everywhere.
Capitalists have lost their tens of thsusands
during the last four years. Merchants have
lost their thousands. Many have lost every-
thing. Every day one meets men and women
who five years ago‘dived in comfort, and who
are now begging for bread, or for something,
anything§to do by which to earn a pittance.
All these suffer in brave patience. But
when these workmen, as they call themselves,
begin to feel the common pressure, they rise
up against the laws of God and man, threaten
the government, society, property, corpora-
tions, the church, the whole fabric of civili-
zation, and freedom, and religion, built up
at such infinitecost and pains, and threaten
fire and sword if they are not relevied ~ and
cared for. They want work, work on theIr
own terms. They demand a division of the
earnings of the frugal, and seft-dcnying, and
industrious, that they may have what they
have not earned, and do not intend to earn,
and may riot in indolence.
Who is more responsible for the laws than
these men? When did they ever fail to
vote, and to vote for candidates who promis-
ed jobs, even though it should be necessary
to pledge the public credit ‘to pay for need-
less work? Who liave had more to do with
heaping up the public burdens that cause
the wheels of trade and enterprise to drag
heavily? Who but these very men are re-
sponsible first and foremost for the debts
that drain the treasuries of the cities of the
land? Who have more recklessly discount-
ted the future? Now when property is
staggering under the load heaped upon it,
the men who imposed the burden are clamor-
ing for revolution, for the utter l'destruction
of all rights of property, and threatening
fire and sword if their demands are not
heeded. This is not one crime, it is the ag-
gregation of all crimes. It deserves to be
dealt with summarily, severely; to be put
down with a strong hand.
Only last week a Socialist stood up ina
meeting of Methodists in Chicago and sneer-
ingly asked why they preached a heaven in
aworld to come, why they did not try to
make a heaven of this world. Was there
ever more brazen, impudent ignorance! The
man stood in a Methodist meeting, stood
among the representatives of the people’s
church, the friends pro—eminently of the
poor and lowly and wretched, who are year
by year lifting thousands on thousands up
out of degradation and misery, lifting them
up to intelligence, and righteousness, and
comfort, bearing in admirable patience with
their falls and backslidings, upholding, di-
recting, cheering them until they are able
to walk alone in ways of pieasatness and
paths of peace. Did ever a man showa
greater lack of knowledge, and prove him-
self more' unworthy of a hearing.
Yes, this is a hard world to live in. It is
a place of discipline, of trial, a school, a
hospital, a. dispensary. We are are all sin-
ful men. We iieed| chstcning and so ourging.
A true man is the better for the discipline he
endures. The furnace does not injure gold,
triaidoes not harm true character. Social-
ism ignores, denies human depravity, es-
pecially denies it as an attribute of its own
adherents. It is wise, has all the knowledge,
is pure and good, and needs no discipline.
But all the same, it is one of the most evil
things that ever held up its head among
men—Christian Intelligencer.

A National bank in New York state, with
a deficit ofabont $110,000, was closed last
Friday by order of the government. Had it
been any other kind of a bank it might have
run its liabilities into millions, and finally
collapsed without a dollar in assets; and yet
numerous friends of the workingmen called
national banks a curse. The advantages they
