Went to Smyrna and the Holy Land. On
the way he. became acquainted with
the Rev. Father David J. O’Hearn. a
Catholic priest, connected with St.
John's Cathedral. in Milwaukee. and
they decided to go to the various places
of interest together. 0n reaching
Smyrna they were surroundcdby na-

Toslve Votes in Third District
Should Have Been Counted.

The Type on the Ballots was Accord-

There has been some speculation as
to the effect of the rejection of twelve
so-colled marked ballots, at Monday‘s
electionyiu the Third Voting District.
hyVModerator Leo Davis,'on the vote
for School Visitor; The returns. as
published. gave Abiathar Blanchard
seven majority. over Charles N. Ar~
nold. thus insuring Mr. Blanchard’s
election. The announcement that
twelve Republican ballots were reject~
ed. has raised the question whether the
result would be different had these
ballots been counted. A Sentinel re-
porter has learned that the ballots
were straight Republican tickets. with
posters for William B. Reed and Abla-
thar Blanchard. over the names of
Samuel Lyrics and Charles N. Arnold.
respectively. These would make Mr.
Blanchard's majority 19. and Selectman
Reed’s lead over cit-Selectman Merrill,
139.

A prominent East Norwalk Republi—
can became very much agitated when
approached regarding the action of
Moderator Davis in rejecting the bal-
lots. He said: “Such arbitarary pro-
ceedings have hover before-ween re—
sorted to in the history of Norwalk pol-
itics." The ballots were perfectly legal.
as they complied with the. requirements
of the Secretary of State as to size.
The Democratic and Republican tick-
ets differed somewhat in appearance.
That is not unusual. as it is almost im~
possible for two printing ohlcers to
match each other’s type faces. The
Democratic tickets were printed with
type. the face of which was slightly
smaller than the sample sent out 'by
the Secretary of State. while the face
of the type used in printing the Re»
publiciin tickets may have been a lit.
tle larger. Both were legal. as in each
case was in accordance with instruc-
tions furnished. These ballots should
have. been counted."

interesting Scenes Along the Route
Described—The Log Cabin Male
Quartette Favors with Save.
ral Selections.

 

Congressman E. J. Hill lectured on
"His Trip Around the World," last
night. in the East Avenue Methodist
Church. The chufbh was well filled
with an interested audience. Mr. Hill,
although he spoke nearly two hours.
held the closest attention of his hear-
ers. from beginning to end. The lec-
ture was interesting in the extreme, in.
us much as the wholetalk was up-io-
date in everypiirticular, dealing with
matters that only interest the public at
the present time.

The Log Cabin Male Quartette. con-
sistingvof Junius Brown. Addison F.
Hathaway, George ‘H...Hirst and W. Q.
Merriam. opened the exercises. by slug-
ing “The Star Spangled Banner." in an
invincible manner. A silver collection
was then taken, and a neat sum was
realized to go towards the church debt.
The quartette then sang “Daddy."
.which proved to be a very beautiful
selection. Rev. J. J. Foust. who was
seated on the pulpit platform. with Mr.
Hill. introduced the latter.

Mr. Hill first pointed out the course
of his trip on a map of- the world.
which was loaned by the school. He
then proceeded to Hawaii. showing the
importance of those islands, from a
commercial point of view. He took the
people to Guam, and said that it was a
solemnly desolate island, and just the
place for anarchists. The captured
Filipinos are kept there for partial han-
ishment.

The Philippine islands Were taken up
next. and the speaker dwelt at some
length on this interesting subject. 'He
told how the people lived. and said that
America didn't really want the islands,
but they were thrush upon her. and
she was compelled to keep them. He
thought that a mistake had been made
in making the islands a territory in-
stead of a colony. He also thought
this same mistake was made in rela-
tion to‘Hawsii.

Going from here he took his listeners
into China. and told about the hun-
dreds of thousands of Chinese who are
living in mud huts. He spoke of one
city which was very large. saying that
there was only one wooden building in
it. and that was a hotel. The rest were
all mud huts. In speaking of the Chin-
ese as a people. he said they were the
brains of the Orient; that they were
the real merchants. and controlled the
banks; that they were the! principal
business people in the Philippine ls-
lsnds. and it was his belief that al-
though they did not own the islands.
they would eventually do so.

in speaking about the people in the
interior. Mr. Hill said that they were
very cruel. He cited instances where
they tied people to the great not hills.
which are on an average. nine feet high
and six feet at the base. and let the
ants devour them. as they would do in‘
a very short time. Sometimes they
would bury a man in the ground. leav-
lng just his head in the open air. He
dwelt on this at some length, and stat-
ed that very .often a swarm of ants
would enter a house and out everything
in sight. He said that lead piping
seemed to be a luxury to them. and
that it has been known that they have
eaten the face all cast iron. Whenever
a swarm of these ants enter a house the
occupants move out.
While in China. vlr. Hill went into
the “forbidden city.” He sat on the
emperor’s throne. along with Dr. Ac-
ton. and went into the Temple of Hea-
ven. The Temple of Heaven. is entire-
ly in blue. and only once 0. year. the
emperor goes ther .attird in a blue
robe; The Sun Temple is in white. and
the Moon Temple in red. He concluded
his trip bystating that he thought the
Chinese were a wonderm1 people, es-
pecially the middle classes.
As It was nearly 10 o'cloak. he made
a hurried trip home. Mr. Hill will do-
liver the some lecture, assisted with
the storeoptlccn. next Thursday night.
at Lockwood’s Hall. under the auspices
of theNorwalk Club. Invitations will
be sent out. and admittance «will be by
card only. it will be free to all those
who‘recelve an invitation.

it was in l892 that Messrs. Krieger
and Grceiistcln arrived at the conclu-
sion that the people, would support a
liberal cash and credit store, if they
were dealt with honestly. To try it as
an experiment they hired small store
in Bridgeport. 'i‘hdir‘be lot that the

ther of all the stores, does 'not devote

To illustrate the at e of the bum:
business it can new that their new
store in Washington s‘trestis devoted
entirely to really to Wear goods for
men. women and children. The east

while it is comparatively easy for him
to do so on the easy payment plan, and

their appreciation. They demonstrat-
ed that the proprietors were well
rounded in the belief that the working
man is honest and the reach: has been
that the firm has been called upon'to
stand hardly any loss.

Another factor in the upbuildlng of
the immense trade the firm enjoys has
been its ability to sell goods at the
lowest figures known. The Krleger
Company gets this unusual advantage
by buying for five large stores. They
buy in large quantites and take advan-
tune of every fraction in discount they
can get. Their sale will undoubtedly
be well attended and meet with deserv-
ed success. The bonds of friendship
existing between the customers, the
firm and the clerks will be more firm-
ly united and the firm will start on
their second year in the new store
with the brightest of prospects.

‘Ex-Mayor Adams Claims That No
Harsh Words Passed Between Coun-
cilman Waterbury and Himself.

The Evening Sentinel: in your re
port of the Council proceedings of Oc-
tober 7th is the following:

“The session would have been rather
dry if Edwin Adams had not put in an
appearance. He was there again with
his little hammer, and although he
struck hard, it seemed to make no dif-
ference with the Councilmen, for they
rejected two resolutions that wore pre-
sented by him. The first was a direct
also at Councilman Lester .l. Water-
bury. whose business is in Brooklyn.
and residence in South Norwalk. By
virtue of this he did not think he was
competent to serve on the Council. and
asked that his seat be declared vacant;
Mr. Adams followed up the reading of .
the. resolution with a tirade of abuse .
upon Mr. Waterbury and the rest of
the Councilmen. Mr. Waterbury re-
taliated. and gave as good as he receiv-
ed. concluding by saying that he was

This Was the Case with a Party of

Sought to Release.

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 10——
The surrounding movement of Turks
lab and Bulgarian troops on the moun-
tain at Gucltepe, on the Turko-Bulgar-
ian frontier. near Dubnitzu. has com-
menced. The presence of Miss Stone
and the bandits on the mountain is
confirmed. The inhabitants of Dub-
nitza are supplying the outlaws with
food.

LONDO , October 10~Witb refer-
ence to t e announcement that Turk-
ish and Bulgarian troops are surround-
ing the abductors of Miss Stone. the
Globe says it considers that unless the
movement is suspended until she is
safe out of the hands of the brigands
there will infalliably be a repetition of
the tragedy in Greece, during the year
1870, when Lord Muncastcr and a party
ware captured. Lord Muncsster was
released in oredr to negotiate for a
ransom of £25,000. Then, as now. an
attempt was made to surround the bri~
sands. with the result that four gen-
tlemen of the party were murdered.

 

 

 

Lord and Lady Muncaster. with a
party of English travellers. were seiz-
ed by Greek brigands. April ll, 1870. at
Oropos, near Marathon. Lord Mun»

caused great excitement. as many in-

connivance at the. brigadage. Several
of the brigands were killed. and seven
were captured. tried and condemned.

thinks that the abduction of Miss Stone
should not he cahrgcd to the sultan
or his subjects. Neither is he at all
sure that the Bulgarian government is
in any way implicated. He prefers to
think that it was the work of irres-
ponsible Bulgarian brigands. who were
moved threto solely by a desire to ex-
tract ransom. and who had no politi-
cal end of any kind to serve by their
nefarious actions. Mr. Straus tlhnks
both the governments of Turkey and of
Bulgaria will do all they can to bring
the rascals to judgment. No menace
of war will be allowed to arise out of
the incident. in Mr. Straus‘s opinion.

district where Miss Stone is held cap-

way implicated in the abduction of the

to be the work of Turks. If rewards
were placed upon the heads of Miss
Stone's captors he said. the heads
would be forthcoming sooner or later.

in the concert which Mrs. Katharine
Flake gave in Lockwood's Hall. last
night. musiclovers of The Norwalks
enjoyed one of the rarest treats imag-
inable. The audience was large and
fashionable. and one that was thor-
oughly appreciative. When Mrs. Fiske
made her initial bowrof the evening.
the seats on the floor of the large ball
were filled almost without exception.
The gallery also accommodated'quite a
number of people.

Mrs. Fiske’s rich contralto voice was
in excellent condition. and to say that
the audience was delighted is an ex—
ceedingly mild statement. Mrs. Fiske
is invariably in good voice, but last
night it appeared that her work was
never more artistically done. The
singer was generously encored. and re
sponded to them several times. to the
delight of the audience. Miss Sally
Sherwood Betts presided at the piano
in her usual efficient manner.

The program was varied and of a
classical order, the selections all being
by the most celebrated of composers.
The selections were new to Norwalk
audiences. with the exception of the
three arias from Samson et Dalila,
which Were repeated by special re-
quest. They were: "Ffair Spring is
Returning." “Oh Love! of Thy Powor.”

repetitions were even better than when
Mrs. Flake sang“ them before. The
program consisted of'four parts, and
was made up of these numbers:-

Henschel.
