Historical Sketch.
m
An epoch in the history of the Con.
,gregational Society in Wilton was
reached yesterday. when the 175th au-
nlversary of the church was oelebrat~
0. «During the day there were fully
00 people present from all parts in
the state and many places out of it.
All sang their praises of the enjoyable
time spent on that most auspicious oc-
. casion.
When it was time for dinner. the
scene bordered on one grand picnic.
There Were fifteen long tables spread.
Four of these were in the little chapel.
and the church in the open air. They
were shielded from the sun with a
. flrmament of canvas overhead. decked
. here and there with the red. white and
“ blue. It was a pretty sight. The tab-
. les, were handsome, with their snow
white linen and silverware, and potted
plants and flowers.
All the church members contributed
flowers for the festive occasion. it
can only be imagined what the church
. looked like, where the exercises at-
tendant upon the occasion were held.
The pulpit was completely banked
with all kinds of potted plants. huge
Chrysanthemums predominating. Green
running vines were strung around the
top of the gallery. And then there
was the entrance to the church.
Long before it was time for the ex-
ercises to open. people began to ar-
rive and at 10:30 the church was filled.
many being obliged to remain outside.
There were fully 150 teams hitched in
the sheds. in the yard and along the
road. About half a dozen carriages
were used to convey the visitors from
the railroad station to the church.
They were also used in taking'them
to the depot after the services were
ended.
Shortly before It was time to upon
the exercises, Miss Belle Cornstock
McKee rendered several solsptions on
the organ. Rafi, .W. .9. Hang the pos-

on the program to open the exercises
with prayer. Rev. Mr. Upson arrived
later.
Rev. Mr. Hart was then introduced
to deliver the address of Welcome. He
said:

ilege to voice the he 'ty welcome of

who made addresses on that 'day is

A hearing was held by the select
then this morning of those interested
in the proposed change of grade to
Fifth avenue and rPospect street, East
Non-walk. Quite a number of the resi-
dents of that part appeared and all
for ad the change. As the road now
is, a puddle of water stands in the mid-
dle of the‘ avenue after every rain, and
the water will not run off properly. it
is proposed to cut the roasts the level
in front of H. A. Wood‘s ,place. and
this will lower the street thirteen
inches at the corner of Cove street,
and 9, 7, 7, 9, l. 13, ll. 0 and 1 inches
respectively. every fifty feet following
to the Wood place, beyond which it
will be filled, 1, l3, 7. 7. 1 and 6 inches
respectively for every fifty feet.
At the corner of Prospect street the
cut will be thirteen inches and at in.
tervals of fifty feet 1. 8, 5. 4. 3. l and
4 inches. Any loam taken from Fifth
avenue will be used to fill in the lower
end of Prospect street. Fifth avenue
is fifty feet wide and with eight foot
sidewalks is thirty-four feet from curb
to curb. Where the switch is this
leaves only about eight feet between
the trolley car aml the curb. The res-
idents asked for a seven foot sidewalk
there and also in Prospect street. as
they thought they needed the read
more. They wanted the selectmen to
establish that width so no one would
take more.

Stuffing the ballot box is an almost
unheard of offense in the staid old
town of Norwalk, only vague rumors
of it floating in from Kentucky and
other faraway places now and then,
but it was worked in one of the most
conservative school districts, last
night. when seventy votes were cast
for a school visitor. out of on actual
fiftyvsix legal voters present.
The annual meeting of the Center
School district was called to order at
8 o’clock by Clerk Andrew V. Heath
and Mayor C. L. Glover was chosen
for chairman. The clerk read the
call. which included thb election of r.
committee and oflicers. the reading of
reports and the laying of a tax. if
deemed advisable.
Committeeman C. N. Arnold said
that it was the custom of the district
committee to divide the work. each
taking a separate department. This
year E. N. Fillow had the educational;
C. M. Daniels the grounds and building
and himself the finances.
He reported that Mr. Pillow had vls
ited iu the school twelve days and had
looked over the work of the depart
ments. Some have shown great lm
movement and there is a harmony and
kindly feeling among the teachers and
The committee

hausted. A two mill tax should be

B. C. Fecney inquired as to the finan-
cial standing of the district and Mr.
Arnold replied that its debt was 318.-
£100. The report was accepted and
ed.
Treasurer C. L. Glover stated that
the receipts were 88.65060. and the or
penditurcs 38.30047. leaving an unex-
ponded balance of $359.13. :The report
was accepted and placed on~flle.
C. M. Daniels said that last year ll
had been suggested that there was
too much sameness in the flowers in
the mounds from year to year. and so
this year they had been entirely
changed.
Mr. Glover called for the election of
a committee of three and J. Beldcn
liuributt moved that one member be
balloted for.
The result was: Whole number of
votes cast, 56; necessary to elect, 29;
E. ii. Fillow. 44; C. N. Arnold. 7; C.
M. Daniels. 2; E. J. Finnegan.-2; H.

Mr. Flilow was declared elected, and
Mr. Finnegan announced that he was

Mr. Arnold was declared elected.
and the third ballot resulted: Whole

it was then that Bernard 0. Feeuoy
called to the attention of the chair
the fact that there were not seventy
voters in the room. But no ballot was
taken, as the result would have been

The election of other officers was
proceeded to.
On motion of J. lieldcn Hurlbutt. Ad-

Mr. Glover said that the next busi-
ness before the meeting was to lay ii
tax if deemed advisable. He thought
that It would be advisable. as the dis
trict would have to borrow money now
before the tax fall due.
0. N. Arnold: "i don’t like to pay
taxes any better than anyone else. but
if we go along paying $800 interest we
will have to run about £1.00!) more in
debt if we don't lay a tax."
iii. L. Boyer moved that a two mill
tax be laid on the last town assess.
ment list. to be payable April 1, 1902.
J. Boldeu Hurlhutt inquired how
much had been raised by the last tax
of two mills. s d was informed that
it had amoun to about 35.000, so
that this tax would rhino about 84.000.

An Address to the American People.
June 14th will be the 125th anniver-
sary of the birthday of the United
States Flag. When it is considered
what it has cost to glvgshpirthto this
"fiag.‘wha't it has cost“ m'iilaintain it
and what it means to this nation and
to the world. there is no honor too
great that should not be conferred up-
on it. Our flag was born in the throes
of Liberty, wounded in the battles of
Freedom and sautlfled in the cause of
Humanity. it should be honored for all
the security it guarantees; all the mar»
cy it proclaims; all the power it im-
plies. it is the flag that ‘has been ever
raised in honor and never lowered in
disgrace. it is the flag that represents
liberty of thought and-religious right
and floats today. beautifully hovering
in the breeze around her Cuban pro-
tege, a protectorate against "man‘s in-
humanity to man." The flag that
gracefully waves in the Orient. a rd
sported monitor in the Cclcctial Em-
pire. guiding the world in dhe solution
of a divine problem. romonstratlug
against avarice and admonishing
against treachury.
it is the flag that must not be dis-
graced as an advertisement of mar-
chandise nor displayed for idle pur-
pose. it,is sacred! it is sublime. Next
to Holy Writ it should be our guide.
standing for the equality of man. and
of woman to man. it is now the
peace-maker between hitherto domes-
tic foes. it is a guard against foreign
interference. it forgives the past and
points to tho future. grandly; with
more grandeur than our pro-vision can
encompass. it Is the flag of our re-
union. The flag of tho new posses-
alone which Providence has bestowed.
So let the American people. with one
hand on the casket of the Golden Rule
and with the other saluting the em:
blem of our liberty and strength. do
honor to our banner as it stands for
loyalty between ourselves and the ele-
vation of all mankind.
As the day dawns on June lith let
the morning breeze kiss tho fluttering
flag from every house—top. and as the
school bell sounds the assembly hour
lot there be glad hearts among the
children as it is made their festival
day to sing praises to the flag and to
cheer it as it floats in the air shows a-
tokcu of their noble birth. Every
school may flttingly honor this day
with special exercises as a day of re-
joicing. adopting a program suitable to
the occasion: Prayer. Salute to the
Flag. National Hymns. Addresses by
Soldiers and Patriots. Flag Drills. Quo-
tations from Elouuent Oriitious on the
Flag. Ringing of Bella.
Eyei'y child waving a flag and pos-
sessing it for himself as a treasure to
be admired and revered. There are no
school children too young to love the
has. none too old to be ashamed of it.
Patriotism is a sentiment—wan emotion.
capable of being cultivated to a high
degree by inspiration. it is not an in-
centive to military action with a ten-
dency to war. rather a promoter of
peace. and no nobier sentiment can be
created than love for the flag, which

SHEFFIELD-ON-THE-SOUND CO.
TAUNTED BY JEERS.
ANSONIA. June iii—Conditions
were rife here last night for serious
disorder. Much as the presence of the
deputy sheriffs here is railed at. it was
most opportune on this occasion. One
of the waiters employed to serve the
new men in the roundry Wondered out
upon the street and was taunted and
jeercd at as a ”scab" immediately that
be was recognized. This was the work
of the small boy and irresponsible
young men. The strikers had nothing
whatever to do with it. Two of the
deputies happened to be in a barber
shop across the street from the scene
of the disturbance and going out es-
corted the waiter back to the foundry
and thus put an end (to the incident.
Sheriff Dunham has advised all the
men to keep off the streets until the
present emergency has passed.
NO TROUBLE WITH lNDlANs.
DENVER. Col. June iii—~Reports of
troubles with the lndians near Fort
Washakie. Wyo.. are unfounded. Even
the report of the killing of an ludian
by a white sheep feeder is false. Coi-
ouel Jesse M. Lee. commandant at Fort
Leavenworth. who was sent by General
Merriam. two weeks ago to Fort Wash-
akir. to investigate the alleged troubles
with the lndians has returned and
made his report to General Merriam.
Colonel Lee. in his report. asserts that
the indians have made complaint that
the agent has not given them sufficient
seed grain to plant and thereby raise
their crops. but this is found to be sim-
ply a complaint. and to carry with it
no indications whatever of hostility.
The story of the killing of an Indian.

NOT FAVORABLE T0 RACES.
Many Members of the Speedway Ob-
ject to Pastime on Sunday.
Arthur Waldron. who owns Bonnie
C... the horse which has showed up so
well on the new boulevard speedway
in East Norwaik, rather takes excep-
tion to the article relative to Sunday
racing. which appeared in last night's
edition of The Sentinel, as an inter-
view with l.- G. Hamilton. Mr. Wald-
rou says that he does not think Sunday
racing would work at all. and that if
it was once 3W. the speedway
would not amount to much. “i am in
favor of brushing and challenging dif-
ferent horses for a race on the track."
said Mr? Waldron. “I enjoy the sport
just as much as anyone, but I would
not be in favor of having brushing on
Sunday. it is no day for such sport.
i think the idea of Mr. Wright con-
cerning challenging, is a good thing.
and. in my opinion, there is no better
way to make the speedway popular
and keep it thus. it will bring out
better horses and will have a tendency
to create enthusiasm, which otherwise
would not be manifested. if brushing
on Sunday was started. a large major-
ity of the people would go up in arms.
and the result would be that the speed-
way would become unpopular. i want
to see it made a success. and i think
if the Sunday part is left out of it. suc-
cess is assured. It is becoming better
all the time, and will continue to grow
in interest. And now it will be doub-
ly so when there is some object for
going into a brush.
“My idea would be for entering a
race for the championship of the
speedway, would be to have three
straight heats. one right. after the
other. without taking the horses off
the track ouch heat for a rub down and
such like. The stretch is only half a
mile and the horses can get their wind
when jogging back for another start.
in this way considerable time’ would
be saved. and those who want to use
the speedway would have more time.
it is no race track and a delay is not
necessary. There will be no more
trouble about sdlkies being put upon
the track. for i do not think there will
be any on the speedway this afternoon.
All of the horses will be hooked to
four wheeled wagons. There is no
reason why the boulevard speedway in
East Norwalk cannot be a success. and
i am willing to do all in my power to
make it such.”
l. G. Hamilton says today that he
did not mean to have it appear quite
so, strong in favor of Sunday brushing
on‘ the new boulevard speedway. in
last night’s edition of The Sentinel.
He thought there would be no harm for
the owners of fast horses to congre-
gate on the speedway Sunday after-
noons and enjoy a little brushing. but
if the people would not be in favor of
such a move. he would be the last one
to encourage such a thing.

“Landlady treat you decent?"
"Well. perhaps 1 ought to"- and
