Facts speak for themselves. ‘ The Democrats of the City of Nor walk are making a big bid to elect John J. Cavsnagh as mayor. and the Republicans, likewise, are making ev ery effort to get out a big vote for John M. Burr. This election promises to be one of the keenest in years. It was predicted in Norwalk last night that there would be far less cutting than there was a year ago. and it was claimed that many Republicans would vote straight Democratic on account of the caucus's action. On the other hand, some of the Republican leaders take issue to this statement. A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. Her surroundings should be in bar- mnoy. and can best be made so by a well kept home. The L. a M.

The subject to be discussed is "The Consolidation of the Schools of the Town of Norwalk.” The club discussed this question in a , preliminary way. last Sunday Tomor- row, It will be continued with more thoroughness, because they will have prepared themselves for It. Inasmuch as the town is to vote on this question. Monday, this meeting and discussion will be of value to those men who care to hear both sides of the subect'pre— seated. -The club is open to all men who are interested in the considera- tion of questions of public interest. The colonel of a volunteer regidient camping in Virginia came across a private on the outskirts of the camp painfully munching on something. His face was wry and his lips seemed to ‘ move only with the greatest effort. "What are you eating?" the colonel. "Persimmons. sir.” "Good heavens! Haven't you got any more sense than to eat persimmons at demanded ,. this time of year? They’ll packer the very stomach out of you." “I know sir.

FURNISHINGS. 98 Washington Street IIIIIIIn wn Ill IIIJIIHI Inns II Iii Inn Vices and Foreign Sparrows Make Native Songsters Suiier NEW YORK. Oct. 3.—Becnuse not one American In a hundred has been found who know the difference be tween the pcstlferous European house sparrow, commonly known as the Eng- lish sparrow, and the intensely valua- ble native to this country, an educa: tional campaign is being launched In this city today with tho obejct of mak- lng every citizen of the United StateB acquainted with his feathered com- patriots Taking as a text the sins of the foreign bird which are visited upon the head of his Innocent American cousins, the National Association of Audubon Societies is planning to cor tabllsh what may prove a university of ornithology for the nation. When an adequate endowment for such an in- stitutli is provided it is intended to carry t e simple facts of bird habits and economic value to every mind in the land. That ignorance of the distinction be- tween the native sparrows and the me furious species from across the ocean is causing the wholesale slaughter of America‘s most valuable bird race has been proven by recent investigations 0f the projectors of this scbme. Great numbers of the little Yankee birds. who it has been shown clear ninety per cent. of th weeds from very gar- dn and field. are found to be falling before the uninformd revnger of the ravags of their cockney cousins. That “a sparrow is a. sparrow" has been dis- covered to be the unhappy belief of the great majority of the people of this country, whre the pest of the English house sparrow is being more and more resented. With a score of such species as the tree. chipping. field, swamp, lurk grasshopper. vesper and song sparrow the junco and grosbeak. enlisted tr- kiII weeds and harmful insects for th( farmer and orchardist in every section of this country. the government auth- orities have declared the American sparrows to be "of greater value tr agriculture than any other species and well worthy of protection and encour- agement. Exhaustive scientific inves tigations by these experts have proven that the native sparrows are practical ly innocent of consuming any cultivat ed fruits. while the English sparrow is a notorious destroyer of buds and blossoms, grain, fruit and garden seeds This Imported house sparrow. utterly unlike ours, is also guilty of driving away native birds from their fields of usefulness and in addition is noisy and filthy. befoullng vines eand buildings. Ever since 1860, when mistaken zealots brought the English sparrow to this country to exterminate caterpil- lure. the American people have failed to differentiate 'the virtues of then own little birds from the vices of the European species. the Audubon work» ers declare. The failure of the foreign sparrows to do anything but drive away birds who could consun. cater- pillars, as well as the subsequent re- vulsion against the Ipreading pest from Europe. has been visited unjustly upon the native species by. their own people. they assert In this one in- stance it is believed the projea for a national educational movement is war ranted. “The case of the maligned American sparrow is a straw shoving the and economic loss and injury due primarily to general lack of information of our national bird resources." said William Dutcher, president of the National As sociation of Audubon Societies at its headquarters, 141 Broadway, today. “We have labored to offset this by sending a million educational leaflets reports and colored plates throughout the country this year. Our greatest field is In the schools where the teach- ers and children of the nation are al- ready picking up this seed we are sow- ing. We want to reach every farmer. orchardist, ranchmiui and forester in the land. as well. with the facts about his bird helpers; these great indus- idea would be practically: impossible lwlthout the help of birds. out this Your Clothes are made where?
