the vicinity, decided to take the law into
his own hands.
He placed the fellow under arrest. and
marched him back to the millincry es-

charge readilyi identified the hat, and
showed Mr. Kellogg an empty standard
near the door. from which it had been
_ stolen. The front room was deserted
‘ when the theft was committed, and the
tramp evidently thought he had an easy
job. But for the tack of Mr. Kellogg the
theft would have been discovered too
late to capture the thief.
After the Misses St. John had identifi-

”to the lockup and later brought before
Justice Coolidge. He was a rough look-

Will be fixed and the lumber of 85

County Commissioner Rowland said
yesterday afternoon. to a Bridgeport
Union reporter: “I do not know what ac
tion the board will take in the matter of
reducing tlLe charge for licenses The
question has never come before the
board and I have never discussed it with
eitherof my colleagues. lam not in a
position to say whether a reduction will
or will not be made."
From the best outside information it
appears probable that the commissioners
of Fairileld county will follow the action
of the commissioners of other counties
that have lessened the cost of licenses
The reason behind an action that has so
far been almost uniform enough to have
been concerted may be somewhat far to
seek. There is ground to suppose, how-
ever, that it is part of a plan to draw the
attention of the General Assembly in a
forcible way to the amount of discre-
tionary power vested in the County
Commissioners. and that out of it will
come legislative enactments similar to
these existing in Massachusetts and other
states, by which a uniform license rate
will be fixed and the saloons limited to
one in a stated number of population.
Said a well-known gentleman to a Union
reporter, yesterday. in talking about this
matter:
"The thing may have more of a po-
litical import than it appears to have.
All the Boards of County Commission-
ers of the state are now Democratic.
The Republicans have gained a big
victory and it is not likely when they
come to the appointment of new County
Commissioners they will appoint Dem-
ocrats or adhere to the principle of
minority representation.
"Regulation of the license charge is
now in the hands of the commissioners
They make rules governing the charge,
but which they can break over at their
pleasure or in individual instances.
It is easy to understand how, many
times, great pressure is brought to bear
upon them to do this same thing, and
how in doing it the board could be made
apowerful factor in the hands of any
party. in acquiring an influence valuable
at election time.
”If the license charge is fixed by law
the work of the commissioners is at once
much more simpler and pleasanter and
they at the same time are deprived of
much of their ability to make of their
bosrdapowerful political and partisan
lever.
“If there is any plan more calculated
to compel the General Assembly tnsome
such measure as I have outlined than
that of forcibly focusing their attention
upon the extraordinary powers held by
the County Commiaioners of this state,
i do not know what the plan is.
“Mark my words! There will be pass-
ed a statute increasing the license charge
to a sum in excess of the highest charge
now made by the Board of County Com~
missioners of any county. and the num-
ber of saloons will be regulated by the
number of population.
"To meet the demands of those who
want fewer saloons the last clause of the
measure would be a decider-atom. High
license alone will never decrease the
number of saloons in any community of
over 10,000 people. The license rate in
Bridgeport has been increased from $100
and the sum fixed by the state to $5700,
but the number of saloons is not less."
in Norwallt there are upward of eighty
licenses granted. and a reduction of $100
apiece makes a falling off of ab ll]
$8,000 in the revenue of the town. i

Seldom does the death of any young

and intelligence that James Scrape was
ac tum. ‘
So strange and mysterious are the lsad~
imef God’s providencee, that we must
often stand annexed, not knowing what
to think. till we bear the Master say,
“What I do, thou know» not now, but
thou shalt know hereafter "
Scarcely had James entered upon the
thrrehbold of his promising career, which
even at his early age shone with bright
prospects and large possibilities, when
the summons came for him to lay aside
his work. and bid farewelltcearthly ties.
and receive the reward which awaited
him as a child of God. x3,.
Though but a boy, he possessed? tare
talents, and gave evidence of mashed
ability in the pursuit of his studlu At-
Wesleyan University.
Entering at the early age of limits
had completed two years of his college
course, and just begun his junior year
with promise of continued honors in
scholarship, which by his superior qual-
ities as a student he had attained
throughout his whole college career.
By his professors he was esteemed and
respected; by his classmates, honored
and loved. In his Fraternity. where next
to his home be will be most missed and
mourned, his memory will ever be cher-
ished and revered. as that of a loving
brother, a kind and sympathetic friend.
a true and noble type of manhood.
His kindly words and cheerful smile,
which he was ever ready to bestow upon
thoseabout him. have especially endear-
ed him to the hearts of his brothers in
Fraternity, by each of whom he was lov-
ed, and upon eacbheiu turn bestowed a
brother’s love.
The pleasant memories which linger in
the breasts of those who were associated
with James in his college life, not even
the ' King of Terrors" hath power to des-
troy.
His daily life reflected his many noble
traits of character. manifesting a happy,
cheerful disposition. a true Christian
spirit. a frank, open, honest manhood.
unnpotted and true, and made more no.
bis by the refining influenced of a Christ-
ian home, and the training of Godly par
ants.
in the home which has been made des-
olate, and the hearts which are torn and
bleeding by the bereavement of this
loved one, who. though he had just be-
gun to live, has been called away, there
may be found consolation in the thought
that “The pathway to Heaven is not to
all alike." There are those who become
speedily ripe for glory; those who reach
the close of their journey, ere to human
appearances it has well begun. But life
is not always to be reckoned by the num-
ber of its days.
"We live in deeds. no years: in thoughts. not
breathe;
in feelings. not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. lie
most lives,
Who thinks most. feels the noblest. acts the
best."

of Mr. Burnes were performed at his

fered a very touching prayer at the grave,
and Rev. A. S. Kavanegh read the burial
service and copies of resolutions from the
case and Fraternity of the deceased.
A delegation of twelve students from

tributes of respect to the memory of their
