In large cities where comps-9 Itition is sharp, pfactice continuous, and drill incessant, such action is expected as a matter of course, but in a quiet borough like ours, the swift response and the quick and thorough work of the Company was a genuine and gratifying surprise. Such a department is a cred- it not only to‘ its Chief,but to the town, and deserves the gratitude and com- mendation of all good citizens. only add that the rapid transit of the "King’s Sons,” (who were in sessionat the parsonage at the time) in giving the alarm, as well as the sympathetic inter- est of our friendly neighb01 s, will ever be held in grateful remembrance. The one thing lacking 1n our cup of satis- faction 1s the speedy catching and slow roasting of the miscreants who still con- tinue to imperil the property and lives of our people. THOMAS K‘.

V ‘ “ King’s 4 Daughters and Sons ” ‘ celebrated their firstvv‘anniversary in the chapel 'on Saturday afternoon, and it was an occasion Of much interest to all who attended. Representatives of the “King’s Daughters ”were present from the Baptist church, the South Norwalk Congregational church, St. Paul’s, Grace church, and Trinity, South Nor- walk, besides the large number belong- ing to the Central Circle of the Con- gregational church. Reports from the different circles were read, including the “Doorkeepers’ Circle,” the “In as much," the “ Ministering Circle,” the " ‘Forget-me-not ” and the Builders’ Circle,” the latter composed of "King’s Sons.” The total amount reported by the treasurers from all the circles was $504.- 43‘ for one year. It was preposed that the surplus remaining in the treasury should be expended in purchasing a new pulpit hymn book, to be the gift of of their first anniversary. ”After the reading of the several reports, Dr. NO- ble spoke to the “Daughters of the King” in a most interesting address. At the close of the exercises, the “Min- istering Circle” served chocolate, tea, and wafers, and a delightful social time was enjoyed. —-—<~O—r~-- ._ .. -f_ Connecticut Insurance. f Part Two of the 26th annual report of Commissioner 0.

A Sunday Morning Cock Fight .ln Saugatuck. One of the greatest cocking mains that has ever taken place in this sec- tion occurred early yesterday morning in a barn located in saugatuck. There were 300 sports from Norwalk, New York, Bridgeport, Derby and Ansonia present. The contest was between ;Norwalk and Bridgeport, $20 a battle and $100 on the main. At 12 o’clock the first battle was an- nounced. Bridgeport put in a pyle weighing five pounds six ounces and Norwalk a black of exactly the same weight. The Norwalk bird was the first to fly but the Bridgeporter hand- somely ducked and quick as a flash jumped, sending the gafl's into the neck of the black. The crowd yelled with excitement but it soon subsided. In five minutes Norwalk turned tail and died in its Owner’s hands. The next one wasbetween four pound cocks and Bridgeport won. The third battle was Norwalk’s. Each chicken weighed 4 pounds 7 ounces. Bridge- port won the fourth battle, it being almost a repetition of the first one. After algame fight Bridgeport got the fifth ’ battle. The sixth battle was a victOIy for Norwalk as the Bridgeport bird showed its feathers and fled. Bridgeport was again victorious in the next, which ended the main. The intention was to have nine bat- tles but the Bridgeport birds were too much for Norwalk, who had won but two battles out of the seven fought. to. AMUSEMENTS “Heart's of New York.” Scenic effects, thrilling situations and startling climaxes are the features that will draw a large audience to the Nor- wall: opera house this evening. The great fire scene and the police patro wagon will be simply immense. “The Clemenceau Case.” This famous play to be given at the Opera house in Norwalk Thursday eve-. ning, April 9, received a long. and com- mendatory notice from the Chicago Evening Post, from which we extract the following: “There is scarcely a week in the theatrical seaSon there is not a ten times’morc suggestive display of the female form made by dozens of women on the local stages. And yet the sensation 1nongcr——those who gloat 'over the imaginary salacious- ness of this scene and those who affect to be horribly shocked thereat~have built up around ‘The Clemenceau Case’ a sensational interest which the present season will scarcely wear out." “Lights and Shadows.” This melodiama, by Ch'a11es Gayler, which will appear at Bunnell’s ope1a house, Bridgeport, F1iday evening, April 10, is a story of the abduction of a child by a notorious gang of thieves, with a man admitted into the best soci- ‘ ety as their chief, and a ficnd'known as Mother Meg as his ablest ally. The ob- ject of the gang is gain. That of the women, revenge. It admits of stirring situations, taking climaxes and a dis- play of rich as well as novel scenes. _...n___._- The Florist’s Kingdom.

In fact it may not be made public at all, ex- cept in so far as its text may be incorpo- rated in Secretary Bluine’s response. If this government considers the question of indemnity it is said that inquiry will be made as to the standing in Italy of the al— lcged Italian subjects; Whether or not they were compelled to leave Italy for crimes committed or attempted. 1n the cases of several of the men killed the charge seems to be well supported that they were out- lawed in their native country. In that event compensation or reparation would hardly be demanded or allowed. It is now also intimated that the recall of Baron Fava is virtually nothing more than a leave of absence. “'ill Be at the \Vorlt ’5 Fair.
