Public Hangings.
,In some of the more primitive and
le- oiviliwd regions of this country it
is still the custom to permit public ere:
cations. Whonn murderer is to behnng-
ed; a Mold is erected in a public
place, news of the expected event is
agreed far and wide and men. and some-
time even women, go to see a poor
wretnhstrangled to death as they would
go to a picnic or a camp meeting.
Exactly such a hanging as this took
place not long since in a certain locality.
Five thousand people witnessed the hor-
rible scene. All night before the hang-
ing excursion trains. wagons and men
on horseback made the silence noisy
with their arrival. Riboldry and drunk-
ennem were attendant. Boys were per-
mitted to look on the judicial strangling
as if it had been a horse race or a cattle
show.
Anything more ghastly, more awfully
repulsive to every finer sentiment of ,hu:
man nature cannot be imagined. If some
of those boys go and play at hanging
their playmates. if later they themselves
become murderers and swing from tho
gallows. it need not. surprise their par-
ents and the fluflli'irlllt‘rl who permitted
spectators at the execution.
It is no credit to American civiliza-
tion that hangings are stillinermittodto
take place in public. (in the contrary,
it is nburning disgrace and degradation
It shows a cullousncss to the better,
more refined feelings of human nature
that one would only look for in savages.
However New York may get around
it, it isthe tact that Chicago has nearly
25,000 more children in lll'l‘ public
mhools than New York bus. This speaks
Well for Chicago. not so well for the
city by the sea. The public schools are
the very hope and foundation stone of
this nation. When they deteriorate or
fall 03 in attendance, then we may in-
deul begin to believe in Max Nordau‘s
human degeneration. Judged solely by
the enrollment of public school pupils.
Chicago has now even a larger popula-
than than New York would have with-
. oilt Brooklyn and Staten island. Chica-
go letlroud of her public schwls, which,
wrung to Dr. Rico, are among the
best in America. The wealthy families
a! New York have, on the contrary,
never evolved out of the idiotic old my
film that it is not qulto “toney,” as it
were, [to send their svious to the public
mkoole. These are supposed to ho good
enough forcluigrants' and poor pvophi's
children. but not for those of'first funi-
lliee. Whorovorllloro isil l'ovliugof that

In time, no doubt. city streets will
have cycle paths for Wlilft'lllil'll to go to

Captain John Rider and his gallant
crew of the smart little yacht Jennie P.
composed of S. Smith L‘Hommedieu
and William ii. Hendrick. arrived home
yesterday from a week's cruise to the
eastward, dropping anchor off Fitch's
Point about noon. They visited Gardner‘s
Island, Plum Island. Greenport. New
London, New Haven, and Bridgeport.
Leaving East Norwalk at 2 o‘clock last
Wednesday morning, they made the run
toPiuin Gut in ten hours and a half,
reaching there at 6:30 o'clock in the
afternoon. after spending five hours in
New Haven Harbortoride out a thun-
der storm. The run from Falkner's
Island to the "Gut" was made in two
hours and shell, with two men steer-
ing the boat. 0n the return trip. yester-
day, they left Plum Gut at 9:30 a. m.,
and reached Bridgeport at 5:30 p m. Hr.
L'Bommedieu brought back with him
some fish yarns that beat any insurance
tale be ever told. At Pigeon Island, be-
tween New London and Plum Gut, they
didn‘t quite pick sea-bass from the water.
but they caught them in pairs and threes
ata time. weighing from six to eight
pounds apiece. Captain Rider used a
sash weight fora sinker. and thus pre-
vented tbe fish from carrying away his
book, line and all, while Mr. Iiendrick
found it so much like work pulling in
the fish, that he went exhausted to the
cabin.
It is believed that an attempt was
made to burglarize II. D. Randall‘s house
on Riverside avenue, about 1 o'clock
Sunday morning. Mr. Randall‘s brother
Clifford, who lives with his parents in
the house adjoining, got up about that
hour, and going to a window in his
bed room threw open the shutters. As he
did so he heard someone say in a hoarse
whisper. “Cheese it E“ the midnight
marsuders having been frightened by
the creaking of the blinds. He then
saw two men run away from his brother
Miner's house. One had evidently been
on watch, while the other was on the
stoop trying to gain scene to the house.
Mr. Randall thinks their feet were
encased in slippers as they made no noise
as they retreated across the lawn.
The following programme will be ren-
dered by Prof. Heine's band at the lawn

Some disappointment was occasioned
among the scholars of the Methodist
church Sunday school. last Sunday,
because no announcement was made of
the forthcoming picnic of the South
and East Norwslk churches. It was ex.
pected that something definite as to the
date would be known last. Saturday, but
nothing was heard from the Starin
people until yesterday. and then the date
a steamer could be secured was not alto-
gether satisfactory to the committee
having the matter in charge. It will be
a day or two yet before the date is de-
cided upon.

it cuts a large figure towards helping

no one must expect any permanent cre-
