there issuch a maze of wins and such a

During the heated term too great pre-
caution cannot be taken regarding the
care of property surrounding residences,
and‘by'this we refer particularly to the
Ila-called “back yards." A neglected
pile of refuse is one of the greatest breed-
ers of disease, and causes more deaths,
physicians inform us, than any other one
«use. There are many such offal piles
in the town of Norwalk. The Board of
Health is zealous in the performance of
their duty, and nearly always make a
rigid investigation when complaints
reach their body, but it would be almost
an impossibility for them to examine the
condition of everyone's property. It lies
with the owners or occupants themselves
to remedy the evils arising from careless-
11min this matter, and they should see
to it that their premises are kept scrup-
ulously clean at all times, and especially
during the summer time. R. ii. iii.

the officials of the Tramway company
are not satisfied with the amount of
patronage they are getting on the new
It has not
proved as popqu with the public as
anticipated. The reason for this is not
. hard to find. The result is exactly as
many predicted it would bewhen the
company announced that the fare from
South Norwslk was to be put at ten
cents, the same as from Norwalk. The
charge is out of all reason. I will venture
many there is not another trolley road
in'ths country that is charging as much
foralike distance. It is conceded by
everyone that this charge from Norwalk
isa fair one and not excessive. Why
the people of South Norwalk should be
discriminated against in this manner, is
what we all want to‘know. This one
fact explains why our people are not
traveling over this route for pleasure as
much as they otherwise would, or as
much as they would really like to. I
suppose they have all been over the routz‘l
once or twice out of curiosity, but they
have found it pretty expensive where
there are several in the family to follow
it up as an amusement or for recreation.
The Hour predicted long before the
route was opened that a charge often
cents from South Norwalk would be a
monumental blunder, and so it has
proved.
/ Let the company give the people of
South Norwalk fivecent fare to Baron,
and I will guarantee their ears will all be
in use, and the road become paying and
popular. Yours sincerely,
ClTlZEN,
The Populistlc Delusion.
Senator Platt hit 06 the populistic de-
lusion admirably in a few words the
other day when he said: “The idea of
making money, of acquiring without
laborafortune, according to our ideas
of whats fortune should he, seems to
have taken possession of everybody.
Everybody fixes his own standard If
wealth, and then he wants to, make that
wealth within a twelvemonth, and live
all the while during the twelvemonth, as
if hehadit on hand on the lat day of
January. That is the foundation of this
populistic sentiment in this country. it
is not that they complain so much of the
improper and unequal distribution of
wealthas it is the feeling of jealousy
that they have not been able to acquire
as much wealth as they desire. Mr
President, you cannot conduct a govern-
ment successfully by giving way to that
sort of feeling; and it is not staresmin-
like to appeal to that sort of feeling"

"The president and his wife sat oppo-

the two secretaries, one at each end. It
was a great dinner and the best of the

was disagreeably warm.
“First were soup, fish, roasted and
baked meats, gammon, fowl, etc. This
was the dinner. The middleof the table

The dessert was fruit, apple pies, pud-

“it was the most solemn dinner I was
ever at. Not a health drank, scarce a

health of every individual around the
table. Everybody imitated him. changed
glasses, and such a buzz of 'Heaith, sir,’
‘Health, madame,’ “Thank you. sir,’ and

two on some common subject. and what
he said Wins not amiss. Mr. Jay tried to
make a laugh by mentioning the caricar

sistlng in carrying on Fox's election.
“The president kept a fork in hlshand
when the cloth was taken away. I
thought for the purpose of picking nuts.

“In this manner 1 can drive the ma-

exactly how much the push of the screws
is, and at the same time find out exactly
how much the machine lifts at different
speeds. The machine is, in fact. a big
