An Interacting Address, Descriptive of

Ms Trass-fkntlnental Tris.
Congressman E. J. Hill’s talk to the
South Norwslk Teachers" Association
at the Franklin Kindergarten, last eve-
ning. was an interesting presentation
of his experiences, places visited and
sights seen in his trans-continental
trip,'lncluding a vivid description of
the unmatched scenery of the Yosem-

it’e. the Yellowstone National Park. and
the great resources of that American

, Alaska.

The speaker's grasp ottbe salient
features for comparison. his ready ilow
of language, and his fund of humorous
incidents and stories held the rapt at;
tention of the audience.
. The committee on programme con-
sisted of Misses Mary Day, Elisabeth l.
'l'olles, Mary E. Bloomer and Mrs. S. B.
Welch. The excellent opening of the
season's course‘augurs wall for a pro-
fltable winter's series of talks.

The next in the course is a talk on

’ The New Haven Leader last night
contained the following: The prolific
set on the natural oyster beds off
Stratford and Bridgeport this fall has
started an agitation among a number-
of well-known planters and others_in-
terested in the state's welfare in favor
of taxing the men who dredge on these
grounds and make

money every year. it is estimated that
if the law in this state was the same
as in Delaware and Virginia. Connec-
ticut's treasury would be enlarged
about $100,000 as the result of the great
yield of oysters on the natural beds
The fact that the state
will receive exactly 8702 from the men
who work the natural beds has caused
much talk among the dealers as well
as among a number of members of the
general assembly who believe that the
stutw ought to receive more revenue
from this source.

it is eatimated by oyster growers
who are in a position to know, that
fully $1,000,000 worth of oysters will be
taken from the natural beds within
the jurisdiction of Connecticut this fall
and next spring. This estimate is not
regarded as too high by many of the
experts who have considered the mat-
They have figures for
previous years when the yield was not
anywhere near as large as it is this
fall and have watched the boats at
work off Bridgeport since the present
season opened.

For these oysters the dredgers gci
from 30 to 60 cents a bushel at the
dock in Bridgeport and to the li'OWGI'l-
are worth on an average of one dol-
lar a bushel. The oysters taken from
the natural beds run as high as 16,000
~ to a-buebei and many of the hontmen
who are on these grounds make as high
as 8l00 a day.

in Maryland and Virginia the men
who dredge the natural beds pay the
state from five cents to ten cents a
bushel for the oysters they get.
oysters taken from the natural beds
in the Chesapeake Bay are nowherr
near as valuable as those found on the
Bridgeport beds. The Chesapeake pro-
duct averages from 600 to 600 to a
bushel and are not as saleable as the
Long island oysters.

in the Chesapeake Bay the state
maintains a force of police to watch
the oyster hosts an
tcr which is used in
ground controlled by the state.

The fact that the state of Connecti-
cut is deprived of such a large sum oi
money owing to the law which per.
mite the owners of boats under five
tons to dredge on the natural beds on
payment of a fee of two dollars per
annum, has caused a good deal oi

With the exceptionof'af few minor pre-

little to do. Even if either had desired
to. take a spin during the forenoon it
could not have done to. for one of the
worst logs of the year settled down on

invisible from the shore as they lay at

Great things are expected of it. it has

Two boys from Spring Hill. Norwnllt
who said they wereJoe Collins. aged
seven years. and William Hull. aged
nine years, came to the South Norwulk
depot, yesterday. and proceeded to
paint things a lurid hue.

They insisted on gfilng through the
gates between the two depots. and
when this privilege was refused, they
jumped over the fence at the risk of
being killed by some of the express
trains passing through. They after-
ward ran in front of trains and badly
irigh’tcncd some of the passengers.

The boys refused to leave the prem-
lacs. Station Agent Raymond finally
succeeded in capturing them. and lock-
ed them up in his allies for an hour or
so. He then turned them over to Al-
bert Saunders. under pretence of tak-
ing them to the lockup. This threat
really frightened the lads. and when
they reached Monroe street. an oppor-
tunity was given them to go home.

They lost no time in doing so.

London, October 11—30 far as n dec-
laration of war is concerned, the feel-
ing in London is that the Transvaal
government will merely invite the Bri-
tish diplomatic agent,
Greene, to leave‘Pretorla on the expi-
ration of the time limit of the tilti-
matum. Such an act would preclude
the necessity of any further declara-
tion. Certainly‘Great Britain will not
declare war against what she considert
a dependent state.

Actual hostilities, therefore are ex-
pected to take the place of a formal
declaration.

Lord Roseberry, the former premier
and Liberal leader, has finally declared
his position relative to the South Af-
rican question. in a letter, under to—
