The New Naval Era.
Now that the United States has got. a
Navy of respectable proportions, to
which some powerful additions are
shortly to be made, it will probably be
the policy Of the department, says the
Washington Post, to make it useful as
well as ornamental, and to so distribute
it that proper surveilliance of American
interests may be maintained on every
sea and in all quarters of the globe.
It were quite as well to have no navy
at all as an establishment that cannot
be promptly made serviceable when—
ever occasion may arise for an assertion
of authorityw Not that the Object in
view is to pick quarrels with other
powers, but, quite the contrary, to pre-
serve the peace, and to see that the
rights of our growing co‘inmerce are
not. encroached upon; that the rights
of our citizens in foreign lands are. not
violated, and that the scope of “ Uncle
Sam’s ” vision is to be henceforth so
broadened as to take in both the great
oceans by which the continent is
bounded. .
The efi'ect of such a. policy will be to
put new life into the service, to aug-
ment its efficiency, to build up a sea-
power without which the United States
must be placed at a great disadvantage
with other nations and remain shorn of
one of the strongest arms of its de-
' fensc. The country has important in-
terests in South America, in Asiatic
waters, in the North and South Pacific,
in the North and South Atlantic, in the
Mediterranean, that need to be lOoked
after not now and then, or in any leis-
urely, perfunctory way, but with unin-
termitting vigilance, in order that the
Government may be at all times pre-
pared for any emergency that may
arise. This may necessitate an increase
in the number Of squadrons, and the
country will be fortunate in having the
' ships out of which to create them. It
may also necessitate longer cruises,
longer absences from home, less shore
duty, less pomp and circumstance in
port, but what is a Navy for, unless it
be to patrol the seas and give assurance
to our merchant fleets and to American
sojourners in distant lands that the Old
flag. is within call? _ ‘
Commpndable as the alertness and
courage and capacity of officers and
men have always been on occasions'of
urgency, their ambition and 'pride can-'
not fail to be stimulated by the added
prestige which the Navy is gaining by
its rehabilitation and by the enlarged
opportunities for professional training
and honorable distinction it is destined
to afford. -
Obituary.
MRS. FREDERICK T. BETTS.
The decease this morning of Mrs.
Frederick T. Betts, in the 65th year of
her age, sadly reminds our old Nor-
walk society of the many familiar faces
and happy moments which are gone
never to return. Susan Stevens Betts’
younger days were fullof attractive
passages, and her later life has been
crowned with grace, tenderness and
sweetness. Her peculiar charm was
that of a beaming, benignant spirit.
Joy-winged, her earlier years seemed
to glide along, and when the shadows
gently softened the morning bright-
ness her more beautiful soul-affections
asserted themselves. Her delightful
disposition and temper have caused
her to be universally beloved and the
grief which the announcement Of her
demise calls forth is genuine. She
was the youngest daughter of James
and Funny Whitlock Stevens and mar-
rying the third son of Hon. Thaddeus
Betts has made the honored old Betts
home, which her husband inherited,
the favored seat of domestic devotion,
warm friendship, and of a charming
hospitality which will be heldin last-
ing rememberance. The bereaved
hearthstone has the sincere sympathy»
of our people generally. The funeral
Will be attended Saturday afternoon.

The Gazette’s Washington Notes.
A pleasant surprise was given Con-
necticut people here yesterday, by the
President sending to the Senate ata
uarter past one, the. name of Hon.
gohn S. Seymour of Norwalk, to be
Commissioner of Patents. As Seymour
of Norwalk, and Walker Of Hartford,
were both candidates for the place and
the President had only last Saturday
given it out that he would not'consider
any applicant for an Office when two or
more from the same state asked for the
same place, it was feared that both Con-
necticut applicants would be dropped.
But fortunately for Seymour, Walker
was being pushed by Ex-Senator Ea-
ton, who is not strong with the Presi-
dent, while Seymour’s backers, Gov.
Morris and Mr. E. C. Benedict, are
both potential with President Cleve-
land. At the Patent Office there is gen-
eral rejoicing that the new Commis-
sioner is to be a Connecticut man, as at
least four others have been. Among
Patent Attorneys there is some harsh
criticisms, because they say, Seymour
has had no considerable patent practice
experience, as Commissioners Wm. D.
Bishop, Mitchell and Simonds had
when assuming the Office, and also he
is charged by them with being related
to the New Haven and Washington
Patent firm of Seymour & Seymour.
This latter charge is incorrect, and
were it not, such a relatiOnship would
not in any way affect the fairness Of
Commissioner’s decisions. As Com-
missioner Simonds is anxious to get
away and is pledged to open his New
York Office on April 1st he is very de-
sirous to surrender to Mr. Seymour at
once. ‘ , ‘ ,
The largest number of patents filed
in a single week in the history of the
Patent Office were filed this week,
amounting to 1,045. The largest num-
when the number reached 996. In
March the number is usually consider-
ably larger than in any other week,
and each succeeding March surpasses
the former one in the number of appli-
cations filed.
Ex-Senator Saulsbury Of Delaware,
died yesterday.
The nomination of Edward A. Bow-
ers, of Washington D. 0., to be assist-
ant commissioner of the general land
Office, was sent to] the Senate with that
of Hon. John S. Seymour. Young
Bowers is a son of “Governor ” C. B.
Bowers of New Haven, and is a Yale
graduate and a man of culture. Some
years ago he went from New Haven to
South Dakota and began the practice
of law, but about two orithree years
ago he transferred his practice to this
city, where he has been acting in the
capacity‘of counsel for the National
Forestry Association, of which he is
an active member. His appointment is
supposed to have been influenced by a
desire on the part of the President to
give greater prominence in the Land
Office to the important subject Of For-
estry than it has heretofore received;
Suicide in-a Shipyard.
James Gilroy, a ship carpenter, about
fifty years Old,committed suicide while
at work in the shipyard at Noank yes-
tei day. He had been drinking heav~
ily and took a dose of laudanum. Af-
ter a while he repented of his act and
told his family what he had done. Phy-
sicians were summoned, but he died .in
great agony.
Cut Off at the Hips.
Thomas Welch, aged 31, a .brakeman
on the down freight train passing-
through Willimantic was killed yester-
day. .Welch was pulling out a coup-
ling pin when he slipped and fell under
the train. Both legs were cut ofi' at the
hips. He was removed to the baggage
room at the depot and died at 2:30. He
didnot regain consciousness after the
accident. It is thought he belongs in
LongIsland city.
‘ Painfully Injured.
Frank Brinsmade, an employee. in
the Offices Of the Consolidated road in
New Haven, who lives in Bridgeport,
met-with a severe accident while re-
turning tO his home last night on ,the
5:30 train. As the train was passing
Pembroke street in Bridgeport some
boys threw a handful of stones through
the window. The glass struck Brins-
made in the eyes and a part entered
those organs. The injury is severe,but
the eyesight will probably be saved.

John Monohan was arrested yester-
day for failing to provide for the sup-
port Of his wife, who is now Sle at the
house of a neighbor on Hoyt street.
He was iven a hearing before Justice
Austin ast evening. Two witnesses
testified as to his negleet of his wife,
and other witnesses testified to having
seen him intoxicated. John himself
confessed to having been intoxicated
"and said the only thing that he had
been able to keep on his stomach for
some weeks was beer. He denied how-
ever that he had failed to provide for
his wife’s support so far as he could.
He said that he had been unable to get
work for some timepast but that he
was anxious to work andgif he 0t it he
would provide for his wife. ohn told
a pretty straightfoward story. The
hearing was adjourned until this morn-
ing, at which time he was sentenced to
sixty days in jail. Mrs. Monohan stat-
ed that he had not .provided for her
support in the past Six months.

Visit to a Tramp’s Den.
The Norwich Bulletin prints the fol-
lowing account ‘ of. a vis1t; to, a famous
tramp rendezvous in Massachusetts:
Among the varied experiences which
fall to the lot of City Missionary Geo.
W. Swan probably none is more un-
usual and romantic than a recent trip
to a rendezvous Of tramps at Water-
town, Mass. Mr. Swan learned of the
existence of the den from a prisoner
discharged from the Norwich jail, and
resolved to institute a personal investi-
gation. .
Disguising himself as a “knight of
the turnpike,” in . company withthe
.man, he journeyed into the Bay state
and Spent several hours visit at the
unique haunt. He found several gangs
of tramps, but all under one distinct
head.-
“The den was located in an over-
hanging “cliff,” said Mr. Swan. “The
entrance was just large enough to al-
lowaman to crawl through. The in-
terior was a. natural cavo, 10 by 12,
barely high-enough for a man to stand
upright. N O tramps that work or are
in reality looking for work or expec-
ting it can get any sympathy or assist-
:ance there. _
“One tramp said the ‘splintered ai'in’
:i'acket was playing the best. All one
had to do was to get a doctor or some
hospital patient that understood it to
:put aplaster Of paris cast on one arm
and then work the begging racket in
as many towns as possible. There is
another tramps’ den near Attleboro,
.Mass..'where hundreds of tramps hold
a convention egery year."
‘ rTh'elci-ty missmnary. gathered a stock.
of invaluable. information from the
.
Putnam, .
‘ At Hartford.
The House transacted considerable
routine business yesterday.
Favorable action was taken on the
resolution amending the charter of the
Greenwich Water company, and giving
to Private Merritt of Co. G, Danbury,
$125 for injuries received while he was.
dOing duty as a member at the last Ni-
antic encampment.
On the adverse report of the J udici-
ary committee the bill exempting from
taxation to the extent of $4,000 prOperé
ty of all residents of the state, and also
that of all ex-soldiers whose property
was listed in Connecticut and had lost
an arm or a leg was rejected. Resolu-
tions incorporating the New Milford
Cemetery association, and establishing
fire limits in Westport were approved.
This afternoon at 12:30 the members
of the House go to Meriden to inspect
the State Reform school.
The committee on agriculture report-
ed a bill for the division of the state
and national appropriations between
Yale university and the Storrs’ Agri-
cultural college. The bill provi lots
that Sheffield Scientific school shall re-
ceive no part of the appropriation
until that institution has executed a
contract with the state to fulfil its
obligations. Any questions Of damage
between the two institutions are tO‘ be
settled by a commission of three, one
to be appointed by the general assem-
bly, one by Yale and the third by these
wo. The bill was made the special
rder for Thursday Of next week.
The committee on corporations re-.
ported favorably on resolutions incor-
porating the Bridgeport Scientific so-
ciety, the South N orwalk club, the
Derby Library association, and amend-
ing the charter of the Fairfield County
Historical society.
Resolutions were passed incorporat-
ing the Housatonic Electric Light
company. *
A bill was passed authorizing cities,
towns and boroughs to abate the taxes
of manufacturing establishments for
twelve-years.
Just before the adjournment of the
House, Roach of Wallingford, offered
a resolution that final adjournment be
not later than Friday, Aprilf28. It was
tabled without debate. The impression
prevails that the session will be pro-
longed to June 1 and perhaps later.
In the Senate Phelps brought up the
resolution tabled March 3, for a correc-
tion Of the records relating to the con-
firmation of John S. Seymour as in-
suraince commissioner. The Republi-
can claim is that as Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Cady was acting governor his
vote as a member of the Senate should
not count. Holcomb denounced the
record as a lie. The Democrats re-
‘but when a vote was reached approved
the records, 11 to 10. This approval
was on motion of Fox. _
Ex-Gov." Bulkeley and Representa-
tive Henley were before the Judiciary
committee to urge amendments to the
pool roombill so as to permit pool sell-
ing at Charter Oak park and other on-
closed grounds devotcd to Agricultural
exhibitions during certain parts of the
year. Col. Burdette, of the American
Wheelman league,thought there should
be changes that would not make crimi-
nal, card playing in homes or for
harmless recreation purposes elsewhere.
It looks as if the modifications asked
for will not be made.
‘ The committee on State Prison gave
a hearing on the charges of mismanage-
ment at Wether ld. Warden Cham-
berlain, against, ,jm many of the
charges are dired _ ”as present. Sen-
ator Pierce favored a thorough inves-
tigation and suggested a special com-
mittee, having power to employ coun-
sel and stenographers. Senator Hol-
comb put the idea in the form of a res-
olution. Senator Chapman moved that
the committee go into executive ses-
sion to consider the matter, which was
one. ‘
A favorable report was made on the
resolutions incorporating the Stamford
Yacht club. ' '

OPERA HOUSE.
At the N orwalk Opera House this
evening Ullie Akerstrom will greet her
many friends and patrons. Although
some little time has elapsed since we
have had the pleasure of seeing this
Winsome little artiste, we have not for-
gotten her by any means. She scored
a success here last season and that ‘she
will do the same to-night there is not
the slightest doubt. '
This evening she will present her
new play “Miss Hora,” and there _is
every reason to believe that it will
equal if not surpass all her former pro—
diictions. ‘Ullie Akerstrom is a very
talented and ambitious little actress,
and the fact of her producing two new
plays in one season is positive proof
that she realizes what her patrons want,
and is ever ready to please them. She
produces all her plays in the very best
manner and dresses all her characters
with great care and regardless Of ex-
pense. Miss Akerstrom wears it cos-
Gal”.that has attracted no end of atten-
tion. It is an imported dress, and a
noted lady critic pronounces it a per-
fect dream. The gentler portion Of our
readers will understand the meaning of
that phrase. The gentlemen are hard-
ly supposed to.
Clam Diggers Aroused.
Residents along both shores are
stirred up over a bill which has been
presented to the legislature, prohibit-
ing the gathering of clams along the
shore, and petitions are in circulation
against the measure. A gentleman in
speakingron the matter said that the
bill had been put in quietly through
the instigation Of the oyster growers
for the purpose of having the land par-
celled out the same as are the oyster
grounds and then they would secure a
practical monopoly Of the clam trade
together with the oyster trade. *As the
clam grounds are now any person can

A TOLEDO LEADER IS INA VERY

i-Iow Strikers Got Help From Other
Roads.
TOLEDO, 0., March 23.—-Contrary to all
expectations Chief Arthur yesterday af-
ternoon filed in court the section of the
which establishes a boycott. The order
That hereafter, when an issue has been
sustained by the Grand Chief and carried
into effect by the Brotherhood of Loco-
motive Engineers, it shall be recognized
as a. violation of obligation for a. member
gineers who may be employed on a rail-
road running with or adjacent to said
railroad to handle the prOpei-ty belong-
ing to said railroad or system in any way
that may benefit said company with
which the Brotherhood is at issue, until
the grievance or issue of whatever nature
or kind has been amicably adjusted.
Not knowing this document had been
filed J. \V. Watson, chairman Of the LO-
cal Grievance Committee, went upon the
stand aud testified under oath that he
had filed with the court 'every order and
rule bearing upon the point, and that
the Brotherhood had no rule, secret or
otherwise, of the kind. When he learned
what had been done by the Grand Chief
his embarrassment was pitiable.
S. S. Hand,Lake Shore superintendent at
Detroit, testified that he had telegraphed
concerning the boycotted cars and had
received an answer saying:
Jim Lennon would quit rather than
take Ann Arbor cars.
“I sent Mr. Lennon 8. message,” said
Mr. Hand, “asking him on what grounds
he refused to handle the cars, and also
asking him if he would bring on his
train if the order to take Ann Arbor. 'cars
was rescinded. Lennon telegraphed that
he would. I telegraphed again, saying
that it was our duty iii the interchange
of traffic to take Ann Arbor cars and
ordered him to do so. A'message came in
return from Mr. Chilcott stating that
Lennon said he would not ‘ answer, but
that he would quit before he would move
one of the Ann Arbor cars.”
General Superintendent Canen of the
Lake Shore testified that the first he
knew of the boycott was the following
telegram received by him from J. W.
Watson, a passenger engineer on the
road: .
We ask you in the interest of peace and
harmony not to ask your engineers to
handle Ann Arbor cars after 6 a. m.,
March 8, as the engineers and firemen of
that road go out on a. strike.
“I answered that the request could not,
be granted,” said Mr. Canen, “as the
business Of the Ann Arbor handed to us
was our business, and we were obliged
by law to handle it. I called a meeting
of out: engineers. It was my desire that
we should not be brought into. this
trouble, and to impress upon our men
that it was our duty to transact the
business. The men were told that this
law was plain, and if it was violated it
would be a serious matter, and some one
would be held responsible.
“I received a telegram from Watson
stating that all honorable means to effect
a settlement in the Ann Arbor matter
had failed, and the laws.of the Brother-
hood would be carried out. I asked him
if our engineers would refuse to handle
Ann Arbor business. He said they
would.” .
Chiefs Arthur and Sargent are carefully
keeping out of the city during the trial.
BOODLE FREELY USED.
New Developments in the Investigation
- at Topeka.
TOPEKA, Kas., March 23.—The Iboodle
investigation is developing new surprises
every hour. If the testimony thus far
given is true, both Republicans and Pop.
ulists made boodling a business during
the past winter. '
Jim Legato, who left the Republican
party last fall and went to the Populists
for a consideration,it is charged, of $7,-
000, testified that. he got $4,500 from Peter
Kline,agambler in Kansas City, Kas.,
with which to buy eight Republican
members of the Legislature to go over to
the Populists and help them organize the
House. This took place before the Legis-
lature met, and would have prevented
the Republicans from, organizing the
House had the scheme gone thrOugh. ‘
NO ROOM FOR THEM.
Leading Populists Say There is an Open-
ing for Two Parties Only.
ATLANTA, G'a., March 23.—In an inter-
view with Thomas E. Winn, the People’s.
Party eat-Congressman from the Ninth
Georgia District, he said there is room
for only two great parties, and if the
Democrats carry out in good faith their
platform the P90ple’s Party will give
them full credit'and actzaccordiugly.
Thomas E. Watson, the most-notable
Third Party leader in Georgia, takes the
same position, Saying that if the pledges
made by the Democratic Party in their
national platform, on which the party
won, are carried out the people ought to
be satisfied. These interviews indicate
that the Third Party in” the South will
rapidly go to pieces.
