RICHARD H. FITCH, Editor. . . . . '. EDITION.“ a Wilton. Conn. The absorbing topic in Wilton at present is the trial of Benjamin Willis for the murder of David S. R. Lambert in the Superior Court Bridgeport. Many townspeople have been summon- ed as witnesses, to aid in weaving the chain of evidence that is expected will surely end in the conviction of the accused. Heartfelt sympathy for Mrs. Lambert is the universal feeling in this additional trial when to serve the ends of J usticeshe is compelled to re- hearse the tragic story and live over her terrible experience. May the same great Power that supported her in that time be with her now. This is the only murder in the his- tory of the town and we trust that its ninety odd years of existence may be . many times doubled before its history records another. Wilton. . Harry C.

With the approach of Spring and the copening days of navigation and trans- portation in Alaska, the interest in the wonderful gold mines of the Klondike is increasing.

ASTOR'S BAT‘I’ERY.“‘T"~ The Government Accepts the Young Miln lionare'l Offer. New York, May 27.—-The government has at last accepted John Jacob Astor's offer of a fully equipped and manned battery of rapid fire guns. The battery proper consists of six Hotchkiss rapid fire twelve-pounders. At the government’s suggestion, Mr. Astor is going to equip the battery as a “mountain battery,” such as are used by the English army in India. and Af— rica. The guns and gun carriages will be so made that they can be taken apart and packed on the backs of mules for transportation. The ”mountain batteries” have been found very effect— ive and useful in rough or mountain- ous countries where there are no roads. Their use will be something unique in the history of the American army. Before Mr. Astor turns the battery over to the government it will have cost him somewhere between $50,000 and $75,000. This includes the cost of the guns, uniforms, side arms and all other necessary equipments. VESSELS FOR CARRYING TROOPS. Question of Granting American Registry to Foreign Built Ships. Washington, May 27.—-The senate committee on commerce have under consideration the subject of granting American registry to foreign built ships for the purpose of securing their ser- vices in carrying troops and supplies to the Philippine Islands, and decided to place the matter in the hands of a. sub- committee with authority to report in all cases in which the war department may make request that registry be granted. ’ A majority of the committee oppose the granting of registry to foreign ships under ordinary circumstances, but they consider a departure from the rule ex- cusable under existing circumstances, and during the war. It is understood that the arrangement will aid the de- partment materiaily in securing rea— sonable rates. The sub—committee hav- ing the matter in charge consists of EEC-haters Frye, Fichllliéill, Elkins, Gal— linger, W'hite, Murphy and Mills. CHANCE FOR THE 7TH. May See Service Under Second Call for Volunteers. Albany, May 27.—Adjutant General Tillinghast returns-'3; from New York yesterday morning. He said that he was still undecided as to how he wOuld fill New York’s quota of troops under the president’s second call for volun- teers. It is understdod here, however, that the Seventh and possibly the Twenty- third regiments will be called Out, and that the rest of the quota, about 5,500 men, will be made up of the volunteer regiments recruited under the first call. This will give Tammany a chance, and it is likely that at least one Wigwam will be accepted. RED CROSS RECOGNIZED. Given Official Standing by the Government —More liloney Needed, New York, May 27.——-The American National Red Cross Relief Association ‘has received forms... notice 9mm Sec- retary of State Day of its recognition by the government ,and that lit will be called to work as soon as them is need for it. Much more money is needed by the society to push the work on its hos- pital ship. Contributions of articles needed have been made to the extent of $60,000, but in money the society has but $5,593, which is not enough. Filibusters Start for Cuba. Chicago, May .27.—A troop of fifty- seven cavalrymen, equipped at private expense, left Chicago for Cuba. Wednes- day, under the command of Major Hig- gins. All but nine of the men have served in the regular army. They took with them arms and horses, which are allrblack. The troop, although it is of the nature of a filibusteri-ng expedition, will be ofl‘icered and disciplined exactly as a regular cavalry troop and hopes to join the insurgents after reaching 1the island. The. Censorship at Tampa. Tampa, Fla, May 27.—An order has been issued by General Shafter requir- ing every newspaper correspondent at Tampa to furnish headquarters with a copy of the paper which the correspon- dent represents. A strict watch will be kept on all matter printed under a Tampa date and any prohibited matter will result in a refusal by «the censor to pass matter written for the offending newspaper. , Unknown Steamer Ashore. St. Johns, N. F., May 27.—An un- known steamer is ashore thirty miles south of this port and is likely to be a total wreck. ' The'British steamer Coban, Captain - Frazer, trading between here and Mon- treal, which arrived here yesterday morning, reported that the steamer ashore is painted a lead color, has a yellow smokestack and, it’ is addel, looks like a warship. This, however, is very doubtful. ' ——___._ MottOes on Hard Tack. St. Louis, May 2T.—The secretary of the navy has issued an order that con- tractors of army supplies must not put mottoes on their goods. This was brought about by a St. Louis contractor of hard'ta'ck, who stamp-ed on each cake the words, “Remember the Maine.” It is understood that the secretary of war will issue a similar order.

The mooted question, “Can a wood- chuck climb a tree '3” has been an- swered in the affirmative. W. B. Brotherton a man of undoubted vera- city, and good eyesight was working ina field near the reservoir one day last week when he was attracted by the howling of several dogs gathered about a small tree. On investigation he dis- covered a good sized animal on a limb about twenty feet from the ground that he thought was a coon. A smart shake of the tree brought the animal tumbling down, and he then saw that it was a full-grown woodchuck. The animal showed fight and as it was three dogs to one woodchuck, Mr. ' Brother- ton who loves a fair fight did not in- terfere. To his surprise the tree climber fought its way out and was soon safe in its hole some little dis- tance awaygggg‘u , :1 , a DW. B.

Orange juice is an excellent cleanser of black boots and shoes. A slice of orange should be rubbed upon the shoe or boot, and as soon as it is dry should be brushed with a soft brush until it shines brightly. The inside of a ba- nana skin will be found most rfl’nthe for cleaning tan shoes, the skin beinf rubbed all over the shoe, which should ' be carefully wiped with a soft cloth, and then briskly polished with a flan- Patent leather boots of shoes should never be touched with blacking. They are the most difficult of all boots to keep in good order, and require constant care. A damp sponge rubbed over them, and an application of a little sweet oil or vaseline after they have been thoroughly dried will keep them soft and bright, and prevent them cracking. A Novel Use of Catacombs. A great portion of subterranean Par- is is honeycombed with catacombs which were once used as burying- places. A novel use has now been made of these underground galleries that'lie beneath the Jardin des Plantes, for they have been converted into a. laboratory and aquarium. A number of them have been filled with reser- voirs and glass tanks, whilst in others the niches that once contained human bodies have been turned into cages, so that scientists may be able to study the effect upon animal life of total and partial darkness. ’ It is said that Succi, who recently completed his sixty-fourth public fast in Rome, has abstained from food in his performances for 2,500 days of his life—nearly 7 years. The novel feature of a gas-motor lately invented is stated to be the bringing of the fuel in the working cylinder into contact with air so highly compressed as to be intensely hot. Many of the new velvet belts for spring are studded with medallions so laoge as almost to cover the velvet baud. Illinois VoluntE‘iiuriea. Rock Island, 111., May 27.—Private S. L. Bledsoe of Company A, Sixth Illi- nois regiment, who died last Saturday at Camp Alger, was buried with mili- tary honors yesterday. His body lay in state at the regimental armory and a procession that included all the vet- erans and other military societies of the city, a platoon of police and a band, followed the body to the grave. Production of Olive Oil in Sicily. 'An interesting account of the way in which olive oil is produced in Sicily is given by the United States Consul at Catania. The olive tree grows equally Well in the valleys and on the moun- tain sides; but those on the lower ground furnish an oil which is richer, and can be stored for a longer time Without deterioration. The grinding and pressing of the olives are per- formed in a very primitive fashion. First, the olives are placed on a. circu— lar platform of masonry about several feet in diameter, upon which a. heavy millstone is turned by means of a. pole to which the donkey is attached. While the stone revolves a man is constantly engaged in turning ‘the‘pulpcd olives over and over with a spade. In half an hour about one hundred kilogrammes will have been pulped in this way, when the mass is put in soft rush bas- kets, which are piled in a-heap in the press—an arrangement with a. heavy wooden screw—which is worked by six men. About half the oil is expressed in this fashion, the rest being extracted by subsequent operations. The fresh oil is green in color, and is placed in earthen jars for eight days to settle and clarify. It is then ready for use. A Speedy Cure. In an out-of-the-way part of West- moreland, a old farmer, well known -for his miserly habits, in order to save the candles, used to give the farm hands their supper in semi-darkness. The laborers grumbled at this, but the farmer took no notice. Things went on much in the same way for some time, till the farmer had occa- sion to hire another farm—hand, named Tam Waring. Tam, who was well known to some of the other laborers as a wild and reck- less sort of character, and always ready for mischief, was informed bow mat- , ters stood. That night at squer, which consist- ed of porridge, Tam took his seat on. the right—hand side of the farmer, and, watching his opportunity, quickly plunged a spoonful of hot porridge in- to the farmer’s mouth. The farmer jumped up with a roar of agony, and demanded an explanation. "Weel, fairmer,” replied Tam,"‘1t'3 sae daurk, Ah couldn’t tell whaur Ah was pittin’ it. Ah thocht it was 1” my, ain mooth.” After that the farmer always took good care to have the kitchen well lighted.
