The foot ball game between the Y.

The South Norwalk Congregational
church was crowded to suffocation last
night by residents of both ends of the
town, anxious to hear the Ragan lecture
on the World’s Fair. The photographs
were superb, and the lecture. delivered
by Mr..ltagan was highly enjoyed.
While playing on a load of sedge at

was called and rendered medical aid.
The Nundinae, published by John T.

the Norwalk reporter of the Sentinel,

paper in town to take the place of the
Mechanics’ Journal.
Err-Mayor Lockwood was in \Vash-
ington yesterday in hot pursuit of
Congressman DeForest. Whether it
was a foreign mission the jolly ex-
mayor was after or to get some good
democrat shoved into the South Nor-
walk-post office, has not yet been re-
vealed. Awfully sly is our friend George.
He is expected back to-night, when the
faithful will know it all.
Congressman DeForest, is expected
to pass, through this city to-day en
route from Washington to his home in
Bridgeport. We have never» had a
democratic congressman from this dis-
trict who has worked so hard and ac-
complished so much in the way of secur-
ing places and patronage for his con-
stituents as DeForest, so that his ex-
ceptional popularity throughtout his
district is all deserved. He believes in
having dcacons of the democratic faith
to oificer the churches of his political
diocese.
John Downey died very suddenly at
his home on Windsor Place. Whistle-
ville, Tuesday afternoon. He was at
work in his back yard, when he was
seen to fall forward to the ground. When
assistance reached him he was dead.
Medical Examiner Burke was sum-
moned who found that death was due
to apoplexy. The deceased was born in
the County Kerry, Ireland, and was
about 63 years of age, and had been a
resident of Norwalk for about thirty
years. Always jovial and happy he was
liked by all with whom he came in con-
tact.
0Q.
Southport aIBorough.
Probably not one person in a hun-
dred living in Fairfield county knows
that that part of the town of Falrfield
known as Southport is a borough legally
chartered by a legislative act in the
year 1831. And yet such is the case,
that form of municipal government hav-
ing been allowed to fall into “inocuous
disuetudo” some forty or fifty. years
ago, because the majority of people
living in Southport were dissatisfied
with the tax rate necessary to pay the
expense entailed by this style of gov-
ernment.
This curious fact was brought to light
by Judge John W. Perry, at the town
meeting held in Fairfield last Saturday,
which had been called to organize a fire
department and to define a fire district.
Owing to the storm the meeting was
not largely attended, but the few that
were there received a big surprise when.
Judge Perry got up and said that the
call for the meeting was not in accord-
ance with the law, therefore it was il-
legal.
1'0 the astonished assemblage the
Judge then proceeded to show whereof
he spoke. A large number of people
who had signed the call for the meeting
wereresidents of Southport, and South-
port being a borough with a. charter
defining certain duties for a court of
burgesses and a warden, among which
were those relating to police and fire
matters, these persons could not sign a
call for a town meeting for such pur-
poses. The Judge further showed by
the revised general statutes that South-
port was named as a borough in the
list of those town divisions, and that
all laws provided by the charter were
still in force._

The Beautiful Legend Connectedr‘wltfiithe
, ‘ Dedicationof St. Somalia.“ r
A legend connected with the Chiirch
of St. Sophia is recalled by “An Idle
Woman in Constantinople,” and as it
Contains a meral fragrant of truth it
may well be held in perpetual remem-
brance. When the basilica was fin~
ished EmperorrJustinian gave 01'»
ders that an inscriptiion in letters of
gold should be placed about the dome:
“Justinian dedicates this church to the
glory of God.” But on the day of the
public opening the emperor looked up
at the dome and saw, with amazement,
"that the inscription ran: “Euphrasia
dedicates this church to the glory of
God.” -
“What is the meaning of this mock- '
ery?” he asked, pointing upward, and
turnmg'to the patriarch sitting beside
the throne he .said:_ “Did I notcom-
mand you to have my name engraver!
on the dome?”
“Who is Euphrasia?” called the
patriarch. “Who knows a. woman
bearing such a'vname?‘ If anyone can
answer let him Speak.”
From the priests to the lowest of the
assembled thousands the question:
“Who is Euphrasia?” ran round the
church. No one answered. At length,
while the emperor sat mute and
amazed, a. . miserable fellow who
cleaned the marble floor stepped forth
and said:
“Imperial Caesar, to whom I am nn~
worthy to raise my eyes, I know a
woman with such a name, but she is
almost bedridden. She lives in a little
house near one of the walls of the
church.” 9 '
“Bring her hither,” commanded the
emperor, and ’straightway pages and
chamberlains rushed out and soon re-
appeared carrying an aged woman
who trembled in every limb.
“is your name Euphrasia?” asked the
emperor.
“Yes, mighty emperor, it is.”
“What do you know of that inscrip-
tion?” and he pointed aloft to the
large letters on the vault.
“Nothing, my lord, nothing!”
“But you see your name- on the
church. It stands there instead of
mine. What have you done toward
the building of the church?”
“Great king, nothing. My lord mocks
his poor sérvant.”
“Not at all,” replied the emperor.
“They tell me you live near. Think!
Have you dene nothing, spoke noth-
ing, thought nothing to give you this
claim?” '
“Majesty,” she said, “there is a little
act, but it is so small I am ashamed to
troublomy 10rd with its mention.”
“Speak, I command you,” said J us-
tinian. “Fear not. Tell me all.”
Then she told how, as she lay on her
bed in her little house, she heard with-
sorrow the travail of the oxen and
mules, carrying the marble and brick ‘
and beams up the steep hill, and her
heart was sore within her; and how.
when she grew better, the thought
struck her: . 9
“Who knows if I cannot do some~
thing to ease their pain, the poor dumb
beasts, so patient in their woe! At
least I will try.”
So she took her bed and bore it into
the road and seattered the straw from
it on the steep ascent. It was but a
little, but 10! as she worked, the straw
seemed to grow and multiply and cover
the whole road, and from that time
the oxen passed pleasantly with their
loads, and she heard no more distress.
The tears were in Justinian’s eyes,
and he said in a, gentle voice:
“Let the name of Euphrasia stand;
she is more worthy than I, _for of her
little she gave all she had.”
A Terrible Weapon.
The sting' of a bee is composed of
two spears of polished horn held in a
sheath. One gets a notion of the
sharpnessof the weapon by a. very
simple comparison. Thcedge of a
very keen razor, when examined under
a good microscope, appears as-broad as
the back of a thick knife, rough, un-
even and full of notches. An exceed-
ingly small and delicate needle simi-
larly scrutinized resembles a. rough
bar from a. smfih‘s forge. The sting
of a. bee, viewed through the same in-
strument, shows a flawless polish,
without the least blemish“ or inequali-
ty, ending in a point t00 fine to be dis—
cerned. In the act of stinging the
spears, each of which has nine barbs
and is grooved with a channel for the
passage of the poison, emerge from the
sheath. One of them is plunged into
the flesh of the victim, the other fol-
lowing, and alternately they penetrate
deeper and deeper.’ The venom is
forced to the ends of the spears by
much the same process as that which
carries the poison from the tooth of a
snake when it bites.
A Queer Legal Document. -
One of the most remarkable legal
papers on file in the archives of the
world is one now in the national mu-
seum of Paris labeled “Sentence on a
hog, executed by justice, in the copy"-
hold of Clarmont‘Aw-in, and strangled
upon a gibbet at that place.” It is
sealed with red wax, kept under a
glass case, bears date June 14, 1491,
and reads as follows: “* “ it We,
the jury, in detestation and horror of
this crime, and in order to make an ex-
ample and so satisfy justice. have de-
clared, judged, sentenced, pronounced
and appointed that the said hog, now
detained in the abbey as a prisoner,
shall by the executioner be hung and
strangled on a gibbet, near the gallowa
which stands within the jurisdiction
of the monks whose names are hereto
appended, being near the copyhold of
Avin. In witness of which we have
sealed this present with our seals.”
