Yale's Triumph at Springfield.
Though Harvard was greatly disap-
pointed in not defeating her old rival,
Yale on the football field at Springfield
Saturday, she made a gallant fight and
forced Yale to do her best to win.
In the first half of the gem: the New
Haven students seemed puzzled at the
possibilities of mass interference and the
revolving wedge worked so successfully
These plays, bewever,
were ofi'set by persistent hammering
with old fashioned tackle,and the Crim-
son players having used themselves up
by their banging work, the Blues were
thus enabled to show to better advan-
It was a great

The Dry—Goods Trade.
The great auction sale of cotton goods
in New York on Wednesday, amount-
ing to about $1,800,000 attracted a large
number of buyers from all parts of the
country, and although the number of
packages offered was considerably
smaller than the offerings a year ago,
the prices realized was very satisfactory
and the bidding was brisk, showing
that a pronounced demand exists for
the goods sold and that the outlook for
the mills is encouraging. The goods
consisted principally of bleached and
unbleached sheetings, quilts and dam-
asks, blue denims, ginghams and cot-
tonades. .
Much importance is attached to the
results of this sale by Mr. Bliss, by
whose firm many cotton mills were rep-
resented, from the fact that prices
ranged well up to market quotations,
rarely falling much below, and in some
cases exceeding them, which is con-
sidered an excellent sign» so scon after
a‘ period of stringent financial depres-
Slon.
Whether, as one paper states, this is
to be regarded as a “magnificent re-
sponse to the uplifting influences of
the repeal of the Sherman silver law”
may admit of question ;but it is cer-
tainly a hopeful response to steadier
conditions. It shows that there is a
healthful demand for dry goods, and
that merchants throughout the country
have confidence enough in the situation
to buy largely at good prices, with the
assurance of a revival in the trade. It
will have a tendency also to keep the
wheels of the mills‘in operation.

Our Gallant Life—Savers.
The English life-saving service, like
that of our own country, covers itself
all over with glory whenever the op-
portunity presents. It is the cause of
humanity in which they are engaged—
a common cause the world over—and
there is no institution that deserves
more liberal snd considerate treatment
at the hands of the government.
During the late terrific gales by which
the coasts of Great Britain have been
swept, involving great destruction of
life and property, it is estimated that
between 200 and 300 persons were lost.
The number as reported to the House
of Commons by President Mundella, of
the London board of trade, is 237.,
At'thc same time the House is ofli-
cially informed that 102 lives were saved
by the National Lifeboat Institute and
505 by the coast guard life-boats, or a
total of 607, which greatly relieves the
the melancholy background and affords
a striking demonstration of the utility
of the life-saving service, and of the
heroic courage with which its hazard-
ous duties are performed.
Time was, and it is not so many years
ago,‘when after such a tempest the coast
would have been strewn with corpses
and the stranded vessels left to the ten-
der mercies of the wreckers bent only
upon pillage. Such was the case along
the shores of Jersey within the mem-
ory of many now living, and when the
Barnegat pirates were a terror to the
mariner. _
A wonderful change has since been
wrought in this respect and among all
enlightened nations,notably so our own.
The saving of life and property has be-
come the rule, rather than their spmla-
tion, and all honor is due to the big-
hearted philanthropists who have aided
in the establishment of the present
splendid system. It is a system that
Congress should generously foster. Its
record is beyond reproach. It is one
of the great deeds well done.

“My Mayorality.”
A decidedly interesting contribution
to American municipal history is the
graphic story “My Mayorality” told
by Hon. A. Okey Hall in the New
York World. Mr. Hall will be remem-
bered by our older resident readers as
having been a summer resident of N or-
walk, on East avenue, for several sea-
sons prior to the period of which he
mainly writes. Here, as everywhere,
he was a popular favorite withall who
knew him. He was exceptionally bril-
liant, always genial, and in all respects
a. notable and typical American, at
home and abroad. In his World article
he reveals what may be termed “un-
stained intimacy” with a. condition of
affairs that would have defiled most
men, for during Mayor Hall’s term of
office, New York city was in the hands
of William M. Tweed and his notori-
ous fellow thieves. The ex-mayor’stes-
timony is extremely interesting at this
time, coming, as it does, Immediately
after the crushing of several infam ous-
ly prominent “bosses.” He makes
it evident that the trading of votes and
influence, by which the people are de-
fraudedfland “rings” strengthened, has
long been a common practice. Demo-
crats and republicans seem to have
been about equally deep in the mire.“
He says that when he, was first nomin-
ated, the republican leaders gave him
to understand that he might choose his
opponent, and, availing himself of the
privilege, heselected a weak specimen
as the sacrifice, and his choice was ap-
proved by the republican “bosses" who
were in the deal. That the “bosses”
had an affinity for each other, is shown
by Mr. Hall’s statement that he had
“time and time again known republi-
can booths at the polls on election day
to be run by due (or perhaps undue)
arrangement, by Tammany touters.”
And similar arrangements have been
made at every New York city election
in ”recent years. “During the exist-
ence of the so-called Peter Cooper Cit-
Izens’ Association,” says the ex-mayor,
“the Tammany of’my day had no diffi-
culty in subsidizing some of the prom-
inent leaders to ‘Wigwam interests.’ ”
In the midst of such a kettle of fish,
what show had the average tax-payer ?
It is worthy of comment, that the aged
ex-mayor still believes that aboss can-
not be subdued save by another and
greater “boss.” He avers that if ever
the republican party in New York city
“can exhibit a leader with the tenacity
and partisan fidelity and ability for or-
ganization, which characterized in the
past such Tammany leaders as Fowler,
Delavan, Wood, Sweeny, Tweed and
Mr. Croker,—a leader who, in short, to
borrow the figures of the prize-ring,
can, if badly knocked down in one
round, come up smiling in the next,
such a republican leader can worry
any Tammany Hall,- and only such a
leader.” Mr. Hall is wrong. But a
few days ago, the good people of Brook-
lyn served notice on the “bosses” of
“both parties, that there existed great
Kelly, and which is said to characterize .
public weariness as to the one-man
power in municipal matters. Similar
action was taken in other cities where
“rings” had abounded in both parties,
and for awhile, at least, there is a clear
outlook for decent government in sev-
eral heretofore afflicted centers.
of- these days the long-suffering resi.
dents of New York city will come to
the conclusion that Tammany is an ex-
pensive superfluity, and then the cor-
rupt organization, with its malodorous
associations, will vanish and become
a memory. The people are beginning
to learn that they can do‘ their own
“bossing” much better than anyone
can do it for them.

It is gradually dawning upon people
who eat at hotels and in restaurants,
and even upon those who do their own
marketing, that the character of the
meat offered for domestic consumption
is, as a general thing, deteriorating.
In other words, there is a poorer and
cheaper class of meat coming in, and
. first quality meats, while they can be
had,‘are held comparatively high. The
reason is that there is alarge export
demand for meats, especially beef, and
strange to say, the greatest demand,
particularly in England, is for the best
beef, and it brings good prices, so that
to-day Western provision dealers and
shippers are actually competing suc-
cessfully with the London butchers in
their own markets. Cheap freights and
the new refrigerating processes have
much to do with it. Great quantities
of ice are no longer required to keep
meat during the trip from the West and
across the ocean. A refrigerating ma-
chine with ammonia as its basis is all
that is required.

Obituary.
ANDREW J. CROFUT.
N orwalk loses another prominently
good citizen and enterprising business
man in the death of Mr. ANDREW J.
CROFUT, which occurred at‘ his home in
South Norwalk on Saturday afternoon
at 1:.19~ o’clock. Mr. Crofut had been
in fading health for some months post,
yet hope,_ coupled with fear it is true,
had led his family and friends untilsre-
cently, to think that the time of his de-
parture might yet be afar off. The ten-
tensely active life, became too severe
and suddenly and to the sorrow of all,
it has snapped asunder. He was a man
who in both public and private life, ex-
hibited the best qualities of genuine
Amencan manhood. His impulses were
as upright, kindly and lofty as his man-
sners were simple 'and sincere. He
w1e1ded the power which unusual busi-
neSs capacity conferred, for the benefit
of his employees as sincerely and gen-
erously as for himself. His highest
ambition, as a business man, seemed to
be, to promote the prosperity and hap-
piness of all about him. He was con-
spicuously enterprising and loyal to the
town and city where his “lines were
cast in pleasantplaces.” He never for-
got to show that he was a gentleman
by nature, instinct and desire, and al-
ways bore towards others adignified
and kindly modesty almost approach-
ing dlfiidence. Always candid and cor-
dial with iut1mates, he was equally free
from guile and deceit, in his more reti-‘
cent reserve Wlth strangers. He was
always warm, generous and deeply sin-
cere in his friendships, but his regard
found more frequent expression in ac-
tive beneficences than 111 words. In
that “undiscovered country” to which
he has gone, we may well believe that
the gentle, modest, manlv man, the
true friend, the beloved husband and
father, the true christian, has entered
into Joys supernal and eternal.

Attempted Suicide.
Mrs. James C. Cotter, who lives on
West Main street, has been in poor
health for several months past. She is
quite aged, and at times develops acute
melancholia, verging on insanity. She
is kindly cared for and watched over
by one of her daughters, and is seldom
left alone. On Saturday afternoon last,
however, she succeeded in getting pos—
session of a razor, and in a fit of tem-
porary aberration drew the edge ofsthe
razor across her throat, and had nearly
succeeded in severing the carotid artery
when discovered by her daughter, who
took the instrument of death out of
her hand. ‘ ' '
Dr. S. H. Huntington was summoned.
and found it necessary to close the
wound with half a dozen stitches.
Fortunately the razor was dull, and
Mrs. Cotter, weak from a long-contin-
ued illness, was unable to use it with
fatal results.
The wound was a jagged one, and it
is not believed by the attending phy-

‘ THE KIND THAT CURES.”
O.
l-le Felt at Home.
Mr. George Mills is janitor at the
Norwalk Methodist church. Saturday
night he banked the fires ready for the
services next day. As early as 6 o’clock
Sunday morning he visited the church
for the purposes of closing the furnace
doors and starting on a full head of
heat. Unlocklng the door he went into
the furnace room and found a “stran-
ger” comfortably sitting in a chair in
front of the furnace while on the fire
was half a peck or less of potatoes
roasting. The stranger was seemingly
as much surprised as was the Janitor.
He explained the situation by saying
that being on the road with no money
to hire a room at the hotel he decided
to put up for the night at a church, and
everything being so inviting at this
church, he took out a basement Window
and entered. Picking up one of the
Sunday school catechisms it reminded
him of his early childhood and he 1m-
mediately felt at' home, set down in a
chair and fell asleep, dreaming that he
was a boy again. Awaking in the
morning he felt hungry and had taken
the liberty to roast a few potatoes. _
The janitor sympathized with h1m
and allowed him to depart without mak-
lng any complaint,for all of which the
roadster was very profuse in his thanks.
And who will begrudge him (the road-
star), the happiness of that one night’s
lodging in a church. And who-Will at-
tempt to depict the thoughts of the man
as he picked up' that Sunday-school
book and thought himself a boy again?

Fire. -
Some one set fire to the leaves in

despite the hurculean effOrts of Joseph

some five acres or more woodland was
burned. The flames were prevented
from communicating with any dwellings,
however. It was a pretty sight but not
altogether pleasing to the owner of" the
woods. The fire lasted three hours.
