Try a Citizens” Ticket.
In the first city election to come, let
our good people start off by uniting,
irrespective of party, on a CITIZENS’_
TICKET. For our first Mayor, let such
high-toned men and representatives of-
our first class citizenship, as Col. F.
St. John Lockwood, General Darius
Couch, Dr. James G.) Gregory or Levi
Warner, or ‘men of that class, who bee
lieve in Norwalk and who are willing
to make a- personal sacrifice to serve
the new city’s best interests, be nomi-
nated. _
For Aldermen, Councilmen, and all
other oficials required, under the char-
ter, let a similar class of representative
citizens of the best class be named and
a strictlynon-partisan ticket put in the
field. For once, let us have a munici-
pal board not ruled by the miserable
intrigues of partisanship, but by an
unselfish and lofty desire'to 33er the‘

of each oficer’s ability, and without

School Legiélation.’ _
The recent general assembly enacted
several interesting pieces of legislation
relative to the schools of the state.
The most important measure enacted
was the law conferring on womeii‘the
right to vote for school officers, and on
school questions. This act enlarges
the public sphere of women in Connee.

tration of the schools of the state.
schoolhonses to be kept clean and
wholesome and to be ventilated “in
such a manner that the air shall not be
injurious to the health of the persons
- present therein.” If the provisions of
this statute are complied with, some
decided changes will need to be efi‘ect-'
ed in'scores of structures. When’the
state board of education or the board
(if school visitors finds the sanitary
conditions of a schoolhouse defective,
or the means cf’l’ighting or ventilating

ized to recommend proper changes
which must be complied with within
two weeks or else the health authori-
ties may be called 'in and order the .
work done. .
The» act which requires the nature of
alcoholic drinks and narcotics, with es-
pecial reference to their effects on the
human system, to be taught as a regu-
. lar’brsnch of study, and which forbids
the grantingof a teacher’s certificate to
any person who has not passed a satis-
factory examination dn, these subjects,
caused- a determined fight-in thegener-
al assembly. The measure encountered
vigorous opposition but finally got
through by a substantial majority in
each house.
A new law'compels every town and.

Couldn't Ride a Little Bit.
Edward Tilford, a baker at_DeKlyn’s,
has for some time been learning how to
ride a bicycle. Thinking that he had
gained a thorough mastery over the
‘two wheeled divil,” as he calls it, he
concluded to appear in public. Mon-
day evening, he trotted the wheel out
on Main street and after half a dozen
attemgts managed to get into the sad-
dle. ut from some cause or other the
two wheels seemed determined to go in
opposite directions and the forward
wheel striking a sidewalk sign landed
Tilford headioremost on the walk.
Nothing daunted he got up again and
on to the wheel only. to be dumped un-
ceremoniously in the street. Again he
mounted the bicycle and after gyrating
about on.both sides of the street, the
pesky thing again threw him, after
which he picked it up, and elbowin
his way through. the crowd that ha
congregated to Witness the fun, escaped
out of sight.
- Ran Away.
Joseph Downs, 15, and George Cock-
efur, 16,.were detained at the police
station in Danbury, Sunday. They
were runaways from the State Reform
school. The Downs lad belongs in
Danbury and the Cockefur lad in this
place. The latter was sent to that in-
stitution some months since for steal-
ing.a horse. Cock-efur had been wan-
dering about Danbury three or four
days and he attracted. the attention of
a. policeman. The lad told the police-
man that he was looking for work and
incidentally mentioned the fact that he
had been in the Meriden institution.
He saidthat he had met Joseph Downs,
a runaway from that'place, in town.
The police found Downs and telephoned
to Meriden to learn if heewas wanted
there. They received information that
he was wanted and also learned that the
Cockefur be was a runaway. Homes
returned to he school, Monday. '
