and Macias Adjoining Barn from the
Flam—Nora and Hagen:
Gotten Out.
The second lire within five days oc-
curred in South Norwalk last night. It
broke out in about on the premises of
Mrs. Hiram If. Bell, lit 8 Elizabeth
stmot, and the building was damaged to
the extent of several hundred doihmr.
the upper part, roof. siding and stud-
ding being burned away.
Wallace MeQuhce, a grandson of Mrs.
Bell. who had been attending service in
the South Norwnllt Congregational
church. returned homo about 7:45. His
assistant being away, he went tothe
barn to see if everything was all right,
when he discovered the fire. which was
then just breaking through the roof. He
lost no time in getting out the horse,
carringe,two-seated wagon, truck, har-
nesses arid whatever else he could.
Meanwhile he shouted “flux," and two
or three men came to his assistance.
Shortly before this Chief of Police
Vollmer and llflicor Gladstone, who
were standing in front of police head-
quarters in Havlhuid sticet, saw smoke
arisiiigin the direction of Mrs. Bell's
residence, but as there was no here,
they thought it was only a bonfire.
They went into the rear of C. Swnrtz's
yard, just across the street, and
from there ascertained what the trouble
was. llfiicer Gladstone at once rushed
to box it and gave an alarm, while Chief
Vollmcr went tothe fire and rendered
what assistance he could. The firemen did
excellent work in keeping the fire down.
They also saved a barn adjoining, in the
rear of one of Mrs. P. T. Hauford’s houses
in Hartford place, which caught fire. it
was occupied by Expressmun T. C. Cav-
nagli. The water soaked through the
building, wetting tho hay and other
contents, and necessitating the removal
of the horses, which were stabled last
night at Sohmnis' livery stable.
Mr.McQuhue last week had a ton of luiy
and alurge quantity of straw placed in
the upper part of the burn, all of which
was destroyed. He thinks tramps got
into the barn and set it alire. Every-
thing uppeured to be all right when he
was in the barn at ll o‘clock. An insur-
ance of $300 was carried with Jacob M.
Layton, and the loss will be. fully that
amount.
‘Tllt‘. houses in Hanford place, which
litre in close proximity to the barn, were
in danger of taking firefrom sparks. and
residents of the streets were consider-
ably alarmed. Samuel Randall and
- ()lin Youugs got out a garden hose and
wet down the roof of the latter's resi-
dence. probably saving it from destruct-
ion. The occupants of Mrs. Cook's
boarding house had begun to pack up
their belongings. and move the furnit-
ure before they learned that the. fire was
under control and that there was no
danger.
Attendance at the North Center School.
Because of an epidemic of measles
and grip, attendance at the North Cen-
ter school during February :iiid March
did not reach its usual high standard.
Willie Parks was the only pupil of the
primary grade who was present every
day. In the grammar grade Jennie
Dickson, Eva Gregory, Florence James,
‘ Jennie McVeigh. Lizzie McVeigh, Edna
Turtle, Wilbur Byington, Harry Gut—
teridgc, Homer Miller, Willie Rider and
Arthur Williams were perfect in
once. Amelia Faulds, Rose Faiilds and
Grace Robert-s were absent one day.
During the term of fourteen weeks,.
beginning January 2, 1896, Edna Tuttle. l
Lizzie Mevcigh. Jennie McVeigh, Eva
Gregory, Arthur Williams. Harry Gut-
teridge, William Rider and Wilbur By-
ington were not once absent. while.
Jennie Dickson and Rose Faulds were
abwnt but one day, and Florence James.
Grace Roberts. and Amelia Faulds were .
absent two days. Annual promotions
will be. made early this 'week. All pu- |
pils expecting to enter school during the
summer term should do so at. once, as
the new class for the year's work will
now be formed. '

BIRDS IOIE USEFUL TIIAN FISH.
The Fortnightly Debut. at the W. E. I. Decided
in the Allimalive.
The regular fortnightly debate at the
Wilton Educational Institute was de-
layed until Thursday last, on amount of
the Inability. because of pressing eli-
giigomcnts, of thi judge. Prof. Wliit~
lock, to preside. The subject for debate
was, “Resolved. That the birds of the
air are more useful and valuable to man
than the inliabitautsof the sea "Those
on the affirmative side were Mortimer
Blierick, Weddio Watson. Milton Was
son, Albert Bancroft. Alfred Divine.
Jackson Boll, George Worden. Henry
Calemcyer and Serctin liisto. The nega-
tive side was supported by William
Howard. James Drumgold. Matthew
Skelling. Robert Wesson. (‘Iitford Mans»
fleld aiid Guy V. ‘Waite.
The debate was opened by an able
argument from Weddie Witssou, of the
affirmative side, pointing to the useful-
ness of the bird to the farmer in killing
off the bugs, insects and piisouous
snakes which would otherwise cost him
much trouble and expense: he also spoke
of the shark, sword-fish, devil~fisli, etc..
as doing more harm than good. lie
was answered by William Howard, who
spoke of our great fishing industi v and
the great trade in clams. oysters, sponges
andpmrls. llo dwelt especially upon
the harm done by the eagle. and of the
misfortune which would overtake. the
poor fishermen aml their families if
their occupation were taken from them.
Here Mr. Sherick arose nnd:said: "We .
will all acknowledge that tho fishing in l
dustry is a great factor in American
trade, but match this with the immense
business carried on in eggs, ('Illi'kl us and
feathers. ‘Eggs areeaten by everyone.
and the business done'in feathers is
simply enormous. Then, too, what fish
can be used for the purpose for which
carrier pigeons are used? Dining the

Exercises—Sermons by Nomalli‘s Able
Olvlnvi.
Rev. Gerald ll. Beard preached to a
large congregation, last night. underlin-
uuspicesoftho Men's Club. taking for
his subject “liar ('ity's l'rogiess.” The
text was Proverb xi, II: "By the bless
ing of the upright the city is exalted;
but it is overthrown by the mouth of
the wicked."
The spezdier said he did not intend to
discuss questions of business. engineer-
ing. economics or politics, but to set
forth in it plain way some fundament-
al qualities In public affairs that. Chris-
tian citizens ought to insist on. Christ‘s
gospel was thoroughly adequate for so
ciety as Well as for the individual. The
city problem was testing the texture of
our flee institutions. Church spires and
church preachers were not simply to
point to a heaven above and a salvation
beyond. The cliim'hes should become
centers of forces of righteousness iii the
city life pulsating about them. The
speaker then named four friends and
four foes of our city's prugn'ss:
I. l'iiselfisli interest versus selfish
indifference. When lll'IV‘:tlt‘. interests
have been at stake, oiirl‘ouiil-il chamber
and our city meetings have never lacked
in attendance. It has not always been
a vciy creditable showing. Not infre-
quently ’aul‘smottohus seemed to be

from within the city about fourhundred .
birds with messages. (if this number
only four were killed by the enemy;
The system was found to be so safe that
draft-s for large amounts were sent to
and from the city.“
When Mr. Skelling spoke. of the use-
fulness of the whale, Mr. Sheriok said:
"How is the whale so useful? Ills oil is
not used at all to speak of, petroleum
havinglmcn found to be an excellent
substitute. Wliulcbone, also. has many]
substitutes. In all the seaports through- ‘
out New England may be seen liulks of
what were whaling vessels. discarded
not because tlioy were uiiseinvortliy, but i
because the catching of whales was"
found unprofitable. Some say, also,
that the fish purify water. That is not
so Take for instance the Norwalk
reservoir. The German carp. which 5
were supposed to purify that water.
only render it more impure."
After the subject was thoroughly ex-
liuustcd on both sides, Prof. \Vliitlock
gave his decision to the affirmative side
in a little speech in which he said that A
one reason why he considered birds more
useful and valuable was because they
pressed and order restored, the usual re.-
freshments were served and the meeting
adjourned with every one satisfiwl.
The subject for the next debate will
be, "Which are more deceptive, the men
or the women?"

of
Fifth uvenuo furiiislzul only twenty-
eight votes! But practically the same
thing is often repeated on a small scale
inourowii little city. Two yearsiigo
we found that less than half of" the
voters of this town had been
voting on the important question of 1i-
qul-i' licenses, either one way or the
other. And lll\'l'SllL{iillllll showed that
it was almost wholly the better element
that failed to vote. So with our city
meetings. There liasbecn some improve-
ment iii this lillcly, but still. as you
know. it is not uncommon for fifty or
seventy-five ignorant foreigners, led by
one or two scheming. blatant «lemagogs,
personal alertness and fearless utterance
on the part of every respectable citizen.
“'0 should take time to get at the facts,
to learn the methods of our city govern-
ment. We should inquire courteously
but resolutely and expect our inquiries
to be answered. lifticiuls sometimes re-
sent such inquiries as if pertinent and
troublesome. [have noticed this, not
in our cityoilices, but in someof our
town ofliccs. It is a mistake. The more
general such information becomes the
better for our progress. And thcnhav-
ing the facts, and not before, a good
natured, just review of the facts should
bcnlways iiiorder. It is the right of
everyfrce citizen. Free trade in such
things is the greatest protection. Dr.
Strong quotes in his New Era this say-
ing, which. as he says, has in it as much
truth as wit: “The medieval soverign
liiredafellow to behis fool;but the
‘popnlar sovereign’ often hires the follow
to be his . master, and is his own
fool." It is time we stopped playing
the fool in' public affairs. Unselfish
interest and public activity must be
pitted against selfishness, indifference
and publicapatliy. Nothing else avails.
Generous Honor vs. Cynical Suspi-
cion. That suggests another scripture
which every man who feels it his duty
to be a public critic should hang upin
his memory: “Render to all their dues:

and criticism is. never the right to insult

1.. Wide-awake liberalism vs. stupid
conservatism. Consen'ntism is good. It
has been known to preserve what mere 1
radicalism might have ruined. lint- stu-
pid conservatism isn't worth anything.
The conservatism that hugs the past
just because it is th; mist isn't worth
anything. It isn‘t.» worth anything to
only to lock the stable door when the
horse is stolen. Yet this is the effect of
stupid coiisci vatism as regards our men.
Good men come to our city and share in
our schools. music, government and the
rest. Thcyaro honored and praised—n
generally when they are able to leave
town or die. Some are gone—others are
going—others as l have said, refuse to
us. This is the effect, too. of
conservatism regards our
methods. Someone more pushing than
the rest proposes aebange. At once a
dozen voices are heard: No change, no
change. we don't need it. Things are
gividciiough as they are. It's too bad
the things our fathers and grandfathers
and great—grandfathers loved—our anti-
quated city charter. our piece-iiieal
school system, the bad roads, the im-
pure water, the ugly sites strewn with
ashes and tin cans and broken china——
it's too bad these landmarks of the good
old times should be disturbed.
We forget that we are a growing
1' immunity, th'it gruwlh m‘ans change
aml cost and that change and cost mean
better and liiglicrliving. This is not a
plea for extravagance. But it. is a word
for wide-awake liberalism, thought and
method :iiid expenditure.
SI‘I‘YI‘
stupid as
()ur city's progress calls for men. If
you want to know what. ruins men, go
to the liquor saloon. Our city's progress
calls for freedom in development. If
you want to find the centre of tyranny

’city‘s pi‘l‘igress calls for liberal expendi-
ture of money for public improvement.
But if you Want to know why we
haven’t abundance of money for roads
and school houses and pure water and
parks and monuments, ask the black-
record“ of the saloons. The. arch enemy
of home. church, school and industry,
the great destroyer of all they build up
is the. saloon.
Despite the hindrances that. oppose.
there are cheering signs. We are more
amused to our opportunities than we
were. Back of all this wide-spread evil
in city government and city progress. is
a greater enthusiasm for humanity. a
deeper sense of the brotherhood of man.
