l] .1 ‘Truth above a2“ things.’ FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1896. Entered in the Post Office as a Newspaper \ ., The Tramp Question. - Atlantic City is said to have solved the tramp problem by compelling its vagrants to work on the new boardwalk. It. might- be worth while to start a boardwalk in Norwalk for the sole pur- pose of compelling the tramps to work. In the absence of a boardwalk there are streets and country highways to be re- paired, and tramps are notca bit too good to do work on either. In North Carolina tramps and jail culprits are ornamented with bill and chain and forced to work on the high- ways and the system- is pronounced both reformatory to the cu'prits and the roadways. ———————<o One Hope of Our Industries. The Philadelphia Times says that it is worth while t) call attention to a statement of the principal of the School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania Museum, in his report read at the an- nual commencement, that not only had the graduates of the technical courses, and particularly of 'the textile school, no difficulty in securing employment, but the demand was even beyond the supply. In other words, the need for art in industry, for the trained mind and hand that can give beauty and ex- cellence to the product of mechanical processes, has at length been recog- nised by American manufacturers and employers, and therein lies one of the brightest hopes for the future. In mere mechanical ingenuity this country fears no rivals. We can turn out more goods for the same amount of ‘labor than anybody else. But much of fills product remains unsold and our people pay higher prices for imported goods, because thev rerognize in the latter a finer taste, ..a more intelligent crutfsmanship. We can change this only by education. Our machinery is all right; what we want is the artistic workmen, who shall be, as was said by aNew England manufacturer at- this same com‘n‘eucemen‘, the masters of the machine. Art in industry implies not alone a sense of beauty or a knowledge of form and color, but a knowledge also of the materials and processes by which beauty is to be expressed, and thus the technical training goes along hand in hand with the training that is more distinctly artistic or aesthetic. Not every workman can have this, but those who direct them, those who are to de- termine the character and quality of our craftsmanship, ought to have it— . must have it, if our' manufacturers are to hold and improve their opportunity. Such institutions as the School of In- dustrial Art are thus doing a work for American industry beyond anything that the wisest economist could contrive by Act of Congress or otherwise. Our people are no longer contented with poor and ugly things. They want not only the best but the most beautiful and fitting, as the best always is, and it is to meet this awakened taste that the effort of our manufacturers must now be bent. It may take a little time, but . the progress has been already great and it will go on the faster under the in- fluence of the growing body of trained art workers. 0 Fawcett--Ireland Again. Some time since Wilmot Fawcett re covered a judgment in the Common Pleas court against Samuel C. Ireland for an excessive. attachment. The Su- preme Court aflirmed the decision of the lower court and yesterday Consla: ble Hunt armed with an execution for a; 8600 S'arted out to collect the same. Before he got as far as Roton Point he Wns met by Constable Morehouse Wllh an irjunction restraining him from levying his execution. Ireland claims that he has'newly discovered evidence and will ask for anew trial. The legal millstones go merrily around and the clients pay the freight. vv The Bridal Train. , The 4:23 express from this 'city to New York is known as -“I‘he Bridal Train.” It is rarely that the train reaches South Norwalk without picking up a bridal party. The greatest num- ber of newly wedded couples that the train has borne tOWards New York at one time is slim—Danbury News. Look Out for Them. ' Two young men are going about the city soliciting money and exhibiting a letter of recommendation from the Y. r M. C. A. One of their: carriesa basket. The City Bicycle Record.

The Dramatic club were favored with fine weather and a large audience at the opera house last evening, when they presented for the second time their play "728, or Casting the Boome- rang.” the characters and appointments were the same as before, and the char- acters and stage Work more complete.

Little attention was paid to it, and the strange boat disap- peared the following morning. '>—- FASHION FANCIES. A debulunte’s pretty ball gown is made of white satin, with a broche bodice and a full baby front of paillet— ted net. Colored shot silk capes and jackets of all kinds are to be the fashion this year, however much the economical may cling to block. A little jacket cape is of navy blue cloth, with the double-breasted front ornamented by two rows of large pearl buttons. There are revers of blue vel- vet, and the high flaring collar is faced with velvet. Dark shot silk blouses, trimmed with pale pink and corn lawn, made as yoke trimmings with a. renaissance scroll, which seemed to fit into the bend at the front of the shoulder, are shdwn in the London shops. tealfiowcrs are often carried round the top of low bodices, a. spray falling on the skirt, but only a. few flowers answer, such as yellow or pink roses of a. hardy kind, pinks and carnatiorrrls, or, in lieu of flowers, ivy leaves.

" HIGH PRICES FOR HORSES. The Homeless Age Is Evidently Very Far Distant Still. When a pair Of registered Hackney mares sells in harness at public auction for 1,000 guineas it is somewhat diffi- cult to conjure up a vision of “the horsclcss age.” “The passing of the horse”-—tliat phrase‘ which now so rhythmically glides from the daily press—is not without its real signifi- cance. It means that the horse is pass- " ing old marks as 'to time on the track and price in the market place. His royal highness the prince of Wales caused a. selection Of Hackney brood mares and fillies and hacks and harness horses to be sold from his Sandring- ham stud July 11, and fifty-three head made an average of $650. Thirty-one Hackneys made an average of $665 and twenty-two hacks and harness horses averaged $620. Included in this last average are the Hackney mares which in harness brought $5,000. These were the 4-year-olds Bay of Ancona (5,004), by Aconeus 2d, and Viola (6,278), by our own Cadet. The purchaser was Wil- liam Waldorf Astor. Red Ruin, by Cadet, and Kit-Cat, by Vigorous. brought $1,750, the next highest price for a. pair. Thoroughbred, Arab, Cleve- land Bay and Hackney stallions sired the harness horses, and the Hackney ‘progenyled considerably in the sell- ing. Among the Hackney breeding stOck the highest price was $2,000 for the Confidence mare J essy,which fell to Sir Walter Gil bey; but Cadeau, by Cadet, was hard after this figure, with a bid of $1,750 frOm Lord Durham. Seven of the mares and fillies each brought $1,000 or upward, while only ten sold for less than $500. Col. North, the “nitrate king,” was the heaviest purchaser, although Mr. Astor bought five, including the highest-priced pair. Before a fire brigade in Berlin starts for a fire the members are drawn up in line, and in military fashion salute their captain; then off they run, having lost more than a minuteby this foolery. IN MEMORIAM. Howard deForest Earle. In the death of Howann Du FOREST EARLE, the Norwalk Yacht Club loses one of its most highly esteemed mem- bers. Gentle, unassuming, and courteous in manner he won the respect and friend- ship of all who were privileged to make his acquaintance; while his sound judgement, liberality and unselfish in- terest in the welfare of the Club com- manded alike our confidence and es- teem. We share with his family the grief and gloom occasioned by his loss and extend to them the assurances of our warmest sympathy. By the Board of Governors, H. S. HATCH. P. G. SANFORD, Secretary, - Commodore. 'South Norwalk, Conn. June 11 1896. Itching .If there is one thing more than another which gratifies us, it is the great volume of hearty thanks Which come from grateful parents for the cures Hood’s Sarsaparilla has effected upon their children. The agony of despair turns to unspeakable joy as mothers and fathers see dreadful sores and eruptions gradually yield to the potent purifying power of this great medicine, and bright boys and girls given perfect health. Read this: “When my baby was four weeks old, scrofulous eczema broke out: on his body. He became literally covered with Sores When six months old the breaking out healed on his body, but his head, face and arms were a. terrible sight. I passed many sleepless night's holding his little hands to keep him from scratching his face. I cannot tell what he suffered with the sores. One doctor attended him a year without avail. No one thought he would ever get well. He was almost a year old when I commenced to give him Hood’s Sarsapa- riila. He soon grew so much better that Cured I was able to rest at night. Gradually the sores on his head and arms healed, the burning and itching ceased, and he slept better. In 2 months he looked like an- other child, gained strength, was cured. I recommend all persons afflicted with eczema or any skin disease to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I feel assured that it. Will do‘ wonders for others. I cannot praise it too highly for what it has done for my poor'little sufferer. It is hard to believe . he is the same child, he is now such a big, hearty, fat boy, a very picture of health. If more people would give Hood’s Sarsaparilla to their children, there would not be'so many poor, delicate little ones.” MRS. AGNES C. BAILEY, Box 91, McVey- town, Pennsylvania.
