Alcohol and Tobacco. _
The Committee on Education of the
Connecticut Legislature having favor-
ably reportedla bill compelling school
teachers to pass a satisfactory examin-
ation on the effects of alcohol and
tobacco before they shall be granted a
license to teach, it now remains for the
teachers to get together and examine
into the subject thoroughly. The com-i
mittee have qualified their bill, how-
ever, so as to allow the teachers to
ascertain the effects of this drug and
narcotic, theoretically, but they do not
forbid a personal visit into the hidden '
mysteries of these articles of daily
consumption. This being the case,
what will preventv our school marms
during the long summer vacation, from
taking a loaf ’of sugar, and after dash-
ing it with lemon juice and placing it
in a glass containing a slice of pine-
apple and a few strawberries, fill up
the glass slowly with seductive cham-
pagne, and revel in the delights and
dreams of a., champagne sour. Or,
should fancy lead-to some other style
of the barkeepers art, they could dally
with a morning glory fizz. Should
these fail to give the required knowl-
edge a Manhattan cocktail, the, popular
Gotham decoction,would without doubt
make their hearts- “jocund and sub-
lime." But as the summer season is
approaching and cooling drinks are the
fashion, perhaps that drink of the gods,
'a mint julep, would better fill the bill.
Visitors to Connecticut’s shore resorts
this summer need not be shocked if
they come suddenly upon a staid and
solemn school marm rocking in a ham-_
mock beside the sad sea waves with
novel in one hand and a St. Croix rum
punch in the other, for 'where' could
the effects of alcohol be better asCer-
tained than at one of ourshore resorts ?
“ Here could she sit and dream
Over the heavenly theme."
When the question of tobacco is
reached,we'are afraid the school marm '
will fail us. The mere ,thought of
nausea, a cold clammy sweat o’er face
and brow and a dark brown taste in
the month, has made many a strong-
man wilt before now. To ascertain the
effects of tobacco theoretically is im-
possible. It takes the first cigar to
fully acquaint one with the Greco-
Roman effects of tobacco, and we are
of the opinion that the wEducational
committee has imposed too great a task -
upon our lady pedagogues. .
As the Women’s Christian Temper-
ance Union is urging the bill, the com-
mittee should take compassion on our
teachers, divide the proposed duties,
and give the school marms the alcohol
question, and allow the Union to wr es-
tle with the tobacco, in which case the
effects of each could be more fully un-
dcrstood.

was tabled. , .
The bill of the board of relief for

meeting of the Court to the chairman
of the committee on lights was then
taken up. Burgess McMullen reported
that the board ought not to receive any
more than the previous boards had, i. 6.-
$60. He said that the first thing the
board had done was to reduce their
own taxes; failed to see where the Bor-
ough could get money to pay such de-
mands as this one, and if they were
paid it would not take long to bank-
rupt the Borough. He. then moved
that the board be paid $60, and it was
so voted.
A petition was read from residents of
Stuart avenue asking that a sewer be
placed on that avenue also for an elec-
tric lighting of the avenue. The pray-
er stated that the petitioners would put
down sidewalks, etc., as seen as a grade
was established &c. '
George Gerrish one of the petition-
ers was present and stated that the
residents of the avenue were ready to
connect with sewer if laid. In- the
course of his remarks the information
was elicited that several of the resi-
dences on the avenue were connected
with the South Norwalk water system.
Mr. Gerrish however volunteered the
statement that they would connect with
the borough water system if their pray-
er Was granted. The'petition was re-
ferred to the committees on sewers,
highway and lights. (It is not believed
that the petition will be granted prev-
ious to the signers of the same connect-
ing with the borough system.)
The following petition signed by rep-
resentatives of the Young People’s soci-
ety of the First Congregational church,
and the Society of Christian Endeavor
was read : a
To the Honorable Board of Burg/asses of the
Borough. of Namath, 0mm. .
Gentlemen :
it has come to our knowled e that _there are
a, number of saloons, and sma l places of busi-
ness, which as often as the Sabbath comes
around, are regularly opened. and kept open,
in direct violation of eXistmg laws. These
places are im erilling the good name of our
town and en angering themorals of _our, peo-
ple, more especially of the young. Therefore.
we, young people of the First Congregational
Church, and members of the " Society of
Christ-ain Endeavor.” do hereby exercise our
ri ht of petition, respectfullyand earnestly
asking of you Honorable Body. in the interest
of morality. and‘in the name of religion, and
also out of deep re rd to the highest prosper-
ity of our beauti u: borough,_that you Will
see to it, that» the laws now in our statute
books res ecting theelosmg of saloons, and
all other p aces of b‘usmess on the Holy Sab-
bath, be faithfully and eifiCiently enforced.
And this your petitioners Will ever pray.
After the reading of the petition
Warden Sloan stated that .w1th the
Chief _of Police he was making every
efl'ort to keep the saloons complained
of closed on_Sunday. Said that such.
efforts were in a great measure. ham-
pered by reason of the fact that it was
hard work to get two_ reputable Wit-
nesses who _were Wllllflg-' to appear
against the violaters of the law in this
reSpect. Said that scarcely a day pass-
ed but that someone _came to him with
complaints in- this direction but none
of the complainers were Wiiling to ap-
pear against the alleged guilty parties.
BurgessMcMullen said that _if the
prayer prevailed it would resultin the
closing of even the Chinese laundries,
audit would be too bad if a man'could
not go out of a Sunday morning to get
a . clean shirt‘ to wear to church.
Thought the petition savored too much
of the blue laws. - .
Burgess Squires said,that there was
a law on the Statutes in reference to
Sunday closing that the petitioners
could have enforced iflthey so wished.
Burgess Glover was ofthe opinion
that the Court ought to be cautious. in
the matter. .
Burgess McMullen_thought that "the
granting of the petition Would be too
much of a fine-thing for constables,
grand jurors, justices ‘of the peace, etc.,
who otherwise might. be. forced to
shovel gravel for a hung. '
No action was taking in the matter.
The police report was read and accept.
e . .
.Mr. Mansfield was then heard in the
interest of the N orwalk- Tram-way Com-
"pany. He renewed the offer of the
company in reference to the‘ grading of
Mill Hill. and said that the company
was "ready to— go ahead and. do the
work at a cost to the borough, not in
excess of $500. Thought there would
be no trouble with; property owners as
to damages, Mani'ce Lockwood being
the only one in doubt.

street would prefer that the tracks be

location for its track over and down
Mill Hill, so called, in this Borough,
and it has been shovin to this Court,
that a change of such location would be.
in some respects more advantageous
and convenient for'botli said company
and the public, therefore, , _
Resolved, That this Court does, so
far as it lawfully, may, hereby consent
that said company .may _in lien and
amendment of said preVious location
in the center of the street over and
down said Mill Hill from near Hub-
bell’s lane to Smith street, locate its
tracks there upon the southerly side of
said street in such location as shall
seem to said companv most advanta-
geous to the public and to it. .
Mr. Mansfield also spoke in refer-
ence to the laying of the tracks ,on
Wall street. He said that the company
bad Some years ago been given a loca-
tion for laying their tracks on that
street. Said the legislature had grant!
ed the right to lay the tracks through
that street. The location as previously
granted would bring the proposed new
tracks very close to those of the pres-
ent horse railway tracks, and while
such laying of tracks and running cars
on the same was not impracticable, the
company would prefer to have a new
layout‘granted for the placing of the
tracks on the south side of those now
in existence, as being better for both
companies. Thought the street was
amply wide. Asked for prompt action
in the matter on the part of the court.
Said the company had the right to run
its traiiks through Wall street. and they
would be so laid, but wanted to bar-
monize with all the parties interested.
The following vote was then passed :
Voted, That this Court objects to ad-
ditional tracks through Wall street un-
less needjointly and that we request
the .legislature‘ to amend the char-
ters of the two companies so as to com-
pel joint trackage. and the cars to fol-
low the rules of the road.
A petition in reference to the loca-
tion of the tracks of the Tramway com-
pany on Belden avenue near the resi-
dence of S. B. Wilson, was referred to
the highway committee and Borough
engineer, with power, all expense of
such change of layout to be defrayed
by the Tramway company. .
Woodbury avenue was accepted as
one of the Borough streets.
Burgess Squire reported that the re-
taining wall petitioned for by Ray-
mond Bros, near Jennings Place,
would cost $150. The matter was
tabled. ,
On motion of Burgess Glover. the
highway committee was instructed to
procure granite blocks for the paving
of Main street between the horse rail-
way tracks.
Burgess Squire reported that the ap-
proximate cost of a sewer on Butler
street would be $3,800, and for the one
on Elmcrest, $925. It was decided to
table the matter until such time as an
estimate had been received for the pro-
posed sewer on Stuart avenue. _
Water Commissioner Street stated
that it was proposed to lay a water pipe
on Henry street and asked that the hill
‘at one end of the street be cut down
before the pipe was laid. He was in-
formed that the street had not yet been
accepted by the Borough.
Burgess McMullen said that in his
estimation it was a needless expense in
the carting away of garbage. Did not
think that it was fair to cart it away
from one section of the Borough. If it
was done at all it should be done for
everyone in-the Borough. It should
either be discontinued or extended all
over'the Borough. It was then voted
to continue the collecting of garbage
where now collected, if p aced in bar-
rels or boxes, restricting straw, hay,
paper, etc.
Warden Sloan stated that he had re-
appointed the committee on the assess-
ing of damages and benefits by the
grading of Butler street, the assess-
' merits, etc., now to include every prop.
erty owner on the street.
The chairman of the finance commit-
tee was instructed to borrow $1,000 on
the account of the Borough. ‘
An invitation from Manager Adams
of the Opera House, for the Court to
attend the production of “ Grimes’
Cellar Door ” to—night was read and ac-
cepted.
Complaint was made that the old
church. building on Chapel street, oc-
cupied by Italians, Wasa scene of al-
most daily broils and fights, and prop-
erty owners in that vicinity asked to
have the nuisance abated. It was stated
that property in that neighborhood
had greatly deteriorated in value be-
cause of this particular nuisance.
Burgess Glover then brought up the
matter of the city charter, which he
said would be brought before the legis-
lature to-day, and thought there ought
to be'someone in Hartford to represent
the Borough in the matter. It was
voted that Warden Sloan, Burgess
Chinery and Burgess Sutherland be ape
pointed a committee to visit Hartford
in the interest of the proposed city
charter.
The Court then adjourned to May
16tlh for the purpose of paying bills

'roimINGTON.
The borough election resulted in the
election of the citizens’ ticket as nomi-
nated in. the caucus. It was reported
that an independent ticket was to be
placed in the field but it failed to show
up. Consrderable interest was mani-
fested in the result and the vote polled
was quite large. James Addis was
elected alderman.
' NEW LONDON.
The city election resulted in the
ch01ce of a republican mayor by a very
small majority. About half of the to- ‘
tal vote of the city was polled. A. J.
Bentley was elected mayor by a majori-
ty .of 74. Two democratic aldermen
William T. May and William R. Chip-
man were elected by about the same
majority. Both were chosen to fill va-
cancies. The election of the aldermen
does not change the complexion of the
board which remains republican. May-
or Bentley was elected to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the resignation of Judge
Ralph _Wheeler.
