That the street corner is the kinder-
garten in the school system of crime,
CT which the penitentiary is the college.
Beware of the corner loafer.
_ 3"! That the roses are actually showing
buds, and the promise for the June fes—
tival is excellent. '
That sketches of emerald meadow,
patches of leafy woodland bathed in
vivid simlight, such was the brilliant
setting of Memorial day;all things were
fair on landfiand water and all in all it was
an ideal day to honor our dead heroes.
That a religious life is a struggle not
a hymn, and ‘in every fold there are
ebony sheep. ‘ _
That Memorial Day will last forever,
no doubt. but it will always be an 00-
casion of strange, sharp contrasts, a
great crowd will march to the burying
ground, to solemn music, with bared
heads and eyes cast down, but above
the strains 01. the funeral music will
rise the shouts of a greater world at
play. “In the midst of life we are in
death” said the Bible, but in the midst
of death life is triumphant.
That Sunday Queen Victoria com-
pleted the 72d yearof her age, while in
another month she will have completed
the 54th year of her reign,and that not-
withstanding the little hitch about the
seals, we wish the old lady many happy
returns of the day and hope that her
rheumatism is not troubling her as

Miss Maud Barnum of Syracuse. The
guests were all rosebuds. who served
to enhance the loveliness of the beauti-
fully decorated tea table. ~~
That Miss Mai Curtis, daughter of
Cashier Curtis, entertained the same
party in the evening, and the bright
faces of the young beauties were per-
fectly dazzling with pleasure, and
Memorial day will long be cherished by
them as a bright spot in their girlhood
days.
That the churches were thronged
with one day Christians or those people
whose religion only induces them to at-
tend church on Sunday morning when
the weather is pleasant.
That Mr. Robert Way of Hartford is
in town.
That the Over River school enter-
tainment this evening ought to con-
vince the most skeptical that public
schools do pay, and that there is a sat-
isfying return for the amount of
strength and money .spent yearly for
their maintenance and every inch of
sitting and standing room ought to be
utilized, and so encourage our boys and

Mistaken Identity.
Frank E. Skeeles, the Danbury rep-
resentative of the Singer Sewing Ma-
chine company has been the unfortu-
nate victim of a case of mistaken iden-
tity, which has brought him into very
unpleasant notoriety. '
An item appeared in the DAILY GA-
,ZETTE some days ago, to the effect that
Mr. Skeeles had been arrested and ta-
ken to Barkhampstead, in this state by
a constable from that place.
The charge, a very serious one, was
made by a Barkhampstead woman who
claimed that a Singer Sewing Machine
agent, from whom she had purchased a
machine, was responsible for her con-
dition. Who the agent was she did not
know, never having heard his name. '
Mr. Skeeles’ name happened to ap-
pearjupon a paper connected with the
sale to this woman which came to him
through another representative of the
company for signature, and without
knowing whether or not he was the
right person the woman caused his ar-
rest. ’
When he was taken before her in
Barkhampstead she very promptly said
that he was not the man, and he was
immediately given his liberty, and the
papers upon which he was arrested
were destroyed.
Mr. Skeeles was not only put to a
great deal of annoyance, but to a con-
siderable expense, by his arrest and
forced journey to Barkhampstead, and
has taken steps to bring suit against
that town.
Mr. Skeeleswas formerly the Nor-
walk representative of the Singer com-
pany and married the daughter of Mr.

Total bills allowed; $2,786.96.
John Edmunds put in a bid to lay the
walk on Wall street above Isaacs street
for 69 cents a yard.
On motion of Burgess O’Reilly,_the
highway committee was authorized to
make a contract with Mr. Edmunds for
the work in question.
James Day appeared and said that if
the Burgesses would expend a small
1 sum, say $15. for the improvement of
Stewart avenue, so far as the removal’
of the knoll at the nerth end of the ave-
nue is concerned, the residents would
relay the curb and gutter to the satis-
faction of the borough.
Burgess Kent moved that the matter
be referred to the highway committee
with power. ;
Burgess Bowe objected, saying that
the whole Court of Burgesses under-
stood the situation quite as well as did
the highway committee.
After considerable debate, Burgess
Kent’s motion was declared carried.
The Mill hill question was lightly
touched upon, Attorney Hurlbutt say-
ing, that if anything were done in re-
gard to it he desiredéto be heard in be-
half of certain property owners. It was
decided by the Warden and Burgesses
to visit Mill hill next Saturday after-
noon between the’ hours of 4 and 6
o’clock, and determine what steps, if
any, should be taken.
A gentleman representing property
owners on Cross street, ,made a state-
ment respecting the need of considera-
ble work on that street. Inasmuch as
the work required in the way of sewer-
age, etc., would probably reach quite a
sum, Burgess O’Reilly’s motion to ta-
ble for consideratlon at a borough
meeting to be called at an early day,
was adopted. ‘
Herbert W. Kemp’s bond for $12,000
as Collector was received and approved.
Burgess Bowe called attention to the
Riverside avenue improvement, and
moved that the borough clerk be in-
structed to overhaul the records and
see what shall be done respecting the
Greenwood claim. The motion was,
carried.
_ On motion of Burgess Kent the chair-
man of the finance committee was an-
thorized to bdrrow $3,000 on the credit
of the borough. ' ._
The East avenue improvement came
up for consideration, Attorney Hurl-
butt appearing in behalf of Messrs.
Bennett and Hunter who object to the
layout in so far as it involves the de-
struction of several trees, this subject
having been fully ventilated heretofore
in the DAILY GAZETTE. Burgess .Van-
derhoef and Mr. Hurlbutt had an in-
teresting dialogue which tended to re-
lieve the monotony of the proceedings
and which, if fully reported, would
make what the late. Horace Greeley
would have called “mighty interesting
reading.” Mr.Hur1butt said he was not
present to argue respecting the legal
capacity of the Court of Burgesses or
its powers in the premises. He prefer-
red to appeal to them as ,men, and
hoped they wCuld do as they
would be ,done by. Finally
his suggestion that the Court of Bur-
gesses accompany him on a visit to the
property in‘question was embodied in a.
motion by Burgess O’Reilly to go over
there next Saturday afternoon at 3
o’clock, which motion was adopted.
The question of the change of walk
in front of the Norwalk hotel, or Lock-
wood property, ~came up and it'was de-
cided that it would be well for the Bur-
gessesto look the property over before--
the next meeting.
Burgess Bowe brought up the mat-
ter of putting incandescent lights into
the houses of the respective fire compa-
nies. On motion the subject was refer-
redlto the chairman of the light com-
mittee with
at the next meeting.
On motion of Burgess Bowe an order
for $2,000 was ordered drawn for the
sinking fund. -‘
On motion 01 Burgess Kent the'Court'
at 10.05 adjourned for two weeks until

The, State Board of Pardons Refuse
To Interfere.
He Will Hang June 18th.
The state board of pardons met at
Hartford yesterday and refused to in:
terfere in Scheele’s case, and two weeks
' from Thursday he must hang. by the
neck until dead.
Attorney Curtis, who appeared for
Scheele, .stated that the circumstances
surrounding the case were such that
the man’s petition should receive the
careful consideration of the board.
Scheele had killed a constable Who had
sought to force an entrance to his house
in New Canaan in search of liquor. It
was a question among many lawyers
and judges if the killing was not justi-
fiable, inasmuch as the officer had no
authority. The board in rendering a
decision said that while Scheele proba-
bly thought he was being persecuted
and being a German did not under-
stand the laws here, still there was no
doubt in their minds but that the mur-
der was premeditated and for it he
should pay the penalty.

“For Sweet Charlty‘s Sake.” V
Miss Justine Ingersoll’s presentation
of the world famed opera of Pinafore
at Music Hall this evening is not only
going to be a great society event,where—
at all of NOrwalk’s elite will assemble,
but it will probably be the best rendi-
tion of that famous and universally
popular opera ever glven .in Norwalk.
But aside from all this the fact that a
highly cultured and refined lady, the
daughter of one of Connecticut’s hon-
ored and mest highly revered Gover-
nors, has been induced to leave the
quiet and comfort of one of New Ha-'
ven’s most refined homes, and devote
herself to an enterprise like this, for
the public enjoyment, not from any
motive of personal gain or persona]
popularity, but “for sweet charity’s
sake,” this, and this alone, should not
only give her troupe a full house, but
the helpful aid and sympathy of every
true man and woman in our town, as
we have no doubt it will.

Mr. Conley’s Bill.
When the bill of D. Conley for $197.-
92 was presented to the Court of Bur- '
gesses last evening it was found that
an item of $35.11 for work in cutting
“down the hill at the Methodist church
had been included. Warden Keeler
insisted that as this was practically for
the benefit of the street railway com-
pany he had an understanding with
President Hyatt that the company
should ‘pay the bill and that if, subse-
quently, the borough attorney. should
decide that it was properly chargeable
to the‘bor-ough it wouldrbe paid by the
borough. Therefore, when Mr. Con-
ley’s bill came up last evening Warden
Keeler and Burgess Kent insisted that
it oughtto be returned for correction,
but a‘motion to allow it less the $35.11
referred to, finally passed, as may be
seen by reference to the detailed report
published elsewhere, Burgess Kent dis-
senting for the reason given.
Boston Store Decoration.
The most elaborate ‘ ‘ ‘window dress-
ing” commemorative of" the "now Na-
tional holiday, was that of one of the
Boston store windows on Main street.
It is the figure of a woman represented
in the act of laying a wreath on the
bier of a fallen soldier, while a stack of
army mnskets are placed at the-foot of
his corse. The draping of the Nation-
al'colors gives‘the whole) scene a bean-
tifully patriotic as well as realistic and
. attractive appearance.
The meeting of St. Andrew’s Broth-
erhood called for this evening, is post-
poned to Thursday evening, at St.

; HE LIVED up SPIRITS
'MULFOBDV’S". LAST ARTICLE.
The Noted Journalist Found Dead in a
Boat with “Copy" Beside mm Which
Had Evidently Been Inspired by
a. “Spirit” Interview.
NEW YORK, June 2.—Prentlce Mulford,
the well known journalist, was found dead
in the bottom of a canoe floating on
Sheepshead bay. He had evidently died
from heart disease. Mr. Mulford was a
prominent Spiritualist, and in the boat
with him was an article in his own hand-
writing, the tenor of whibh would indi-
cate that it had been dictated to him by a
spirit from the unseen world. Following
is a. copy of the strange article:
May 25. (91).-Dear, the {gases had a tendency
to rise by reason of your unusual position in
the boat. That gives the form of nausea. The
thought gives y o u -- ..,,._
the idea of a sick
stomach, and g o o (1
material mind goes
to work and shoves
the idea of weakness
on your body. As
now you see, y our
mind seizes 1mm' &
diately on trifies and
makes mountains of
them. ‘I brought on
you these conditions '
that I might more ,4 :-
cleariy-show you
this. It is the fear
of these thing so
. bad in the mind that
does the injury, and your mind in these pe-
riods of isolation willbe more readily cleared of
these tendencies than in any other way. With
me you have a perfectly healthy mind. You
cannot find one elsewhere. So, under these
conditions, you will absorb my thoughts quick-
er than in the world.
You are now, for the first time, literally
alone with me day and night, and under better
conditions than ever before. You will soon re
alize it more and more.
It will not rain much today and you will
soon have sunshine. Things will get more and
more organized in the boat will go much easier,
and you will organize with them. You always
have gotten out. Have you not? It is the
cloudy thoughts you are throwing off that keep
my mind from blending with yours. It is as
grievous to me as to you. Always know that ]
blend with you when you are happy. The ma
terial'does not like this change, for it seems so
much of it to must go. It is' trying to keep its
old place. That makes a desperate struggle.
You are fighting now for thousands as well as
for me. You will find this a material typical
morning. The light is breaking. What you
take for stimulants in right mind is strength
added to strength.
Think 'of Me When Eating.
Darling, I am here, close to you, by your side,
to. sustain and cheer you. It is only a mental
picture of gloom presented to yd‘u like one from
Dante‘s “Inferno.“ It is false. It is only as
these clouds between you and the 'sun. Make
no compromise with it or concession to evil—
all of your mind and body. It is not necessary
in the highest sense of a vicarious ailment. It
is not because we have something to do or dig
out in gloom. These are all subtle of the inner
or true mind to keep its place. Resist, resist,
resist! Pray, demand and fight it with the 'aid
of the infinity. ,
S. B. is a. good woman, and in the right vein,
but she has many malarial rags hanging to her.
She will do G. good, but in a. different way
trom that which G. anticipates. We act on G.
and through her, but as regards herself she
must see that she must really do the building
without external aid. It is all right, her call-
ing on S. B.
Prentice, dear, this is only a black mental
picture. It colors black everything material
about you. Get into my mind bybaking plenty
of time for doing small things. Remember the
chief end of the boat is to help you get into an
element of thought. It is not going so far with
the boat; it is going into that new element.
The realization of this will come to you much
faster than when in the world. Your material
part does not like to get out of the world.
Your spiritual does. Your material part is al-
most a stranger to me. Your spiritual part is
mine. The links connecting our spirits are still
delicate. In other words, the material strength,
through vanishing, can rupture our blending.
Recognize the first fading of gloom that comes
as an evil thought. Push it of directly, and i1
is not apt to find lodgement.
Think of me when eating. It will make me
much more real to you and give me much ma
terial strength, for then I not only eat with
you, but get you in so eating. You also take
me in at the same time, and will find that it
gives you much strength. Afterward do not
force yourself to stay too long on those trips,
but you ' 1 find each one more enjoyable.
God bless you, darling. That is the best
thing you can put on paper. It is worth all the
rest.

The Western New York Crops.
BUFFALO, June 2.——Crop reports from
tern New York show that the damage
do by May frosts has been large and
widely extended, but has not been really
disastrous anywhere except in the deep
valleys of the south towns of Erie county,
From that region the complaints are seri-
ous and the outlook somewhat discourag-
ing. The region is largely devoted tc
dairying, and suffers by the shortened hay
and pasturage caused by the drought and
frosts. The great grape growmg region
on the south shore of Lake Erie reports a
full crop in sight, and the peach growing
region along the Niagara river makes an
equally favorable report. The thought
and frosts came too soon to injure Wy-
oming county’s sta Te, the bean, and the
most recent agricul ral experimefit, the
tobacco plantations in southern Erie, es-
mp'ed the general devastation in thatre

In Trouble Again.
Harry Bussing the banjo player is
It will be remem-
bered that several weeks ago young
Bussing stole a diamondring and about
' $20 from his parents who live on Ann
street, South Norwalk, and skipped to
New Canaan, and that he was arrested
with his spoils at a sociable in West
N orwalk. After his arrest his parents
relented and he was discharged. He
then went to New Canaan, where he
has since lived, but made frequent
visits to his home in South Norwalk.
On Saturday last Mr. and Mrs. Bus-
sing went to New York to stay over
Sunday. Yesterday Harry effected an
entrance into the house and securing
his mothers bank book forged an order
for $160, which he collected, and pro-
ceeded to expend it at South Norwalk
stores. Ho purchased a new suit of
clothes, 0. pair of patent leather shoes,
collars, eufi's, underwear, 3. gold watch,
chain, charm and finger ring, silk hat,
and a trunk which he had carried to
the'depot, where he purchased a ticket
for Philadelphia. He then visited
several saloons and became somewhat
intoxicated. He was met by Ellison
Makin who remarked on his good
clothes, watch, chain, etc. Bussing
then made a confidant of Makin and
told him how he had gotten the money.
Makin then told Art. ’Waterbury. who
in. turn spoke to oflicer Ireland of his
suspicions. Ireland went to the sta-
tion where he found Bussing awaiting
the 4:20 train and placed him under ar-
rest, and on searching him found that
he still had $70 left. Bussing accounted
for the rest of the money with the ex-
ception of about $8 which he thinks he
spent 1n the saloons about South Nor-
walk. His father did not arrive homo
untll th1s morning, and was dumb-
founded at the action of this his only
child. Young Bussing acts very coolly
about the matter. This morning he
was taken before Justice Morrell for
examination and the case was P0513-
poned until 3 p‘. 'm.

Severe Punishment.
Considerable sympathy is felt and ex-
pressed for Robert McAlveen, the New
Canaan young man, whose exploit here
on Memorial day was fully presented in
the. DAILY GAZETTE yesterday. His ex-
amination came off at 4 p. m. yesterdaY
before Justice Coolidge. The court
room was filled with interested people
and several witnesses were examined.
Mr. McAlveen was ably defended by
Attorney Walsh, and at the close ofthe
somewhat tedious examination, he W35
fined $2 and costs for intoxication and
$7 and costs for assault, the total being
$24. 68, which he paid. He contracted
to also settle the bills for medical at-
tendance upon Mrs. Olmstead, and
make good to Mr. Olmstead all other
kisses 1n damage to clothing, carriage,
