Alligators Growing Scarce.
The demand for alligator skins at the
north, Where they are tanned and made
into valises, pocket books, etc., has
caused them to be hunted so closely
that it has almost resulted in their en-
tire destruction, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. Before the demand
rose for their hides the bays and bayous
of Louisiana were full of the saurians,
which did no particular damage except
in catching a stray pig or our dog, but
otherwise they were not supposed to
be of any value at all. With the .dis-
appearance of the alligator it was
noticed that there was a marked in-
crease in the number of other mis-
, chievous animals‘i'especially in the
rice fields of Plaquemines parish, the
muskrat increased to an extent that it
was almost impossible to keep up the
back levees, which were built for the
purpose of keeping the water on the
rice during the growing season. The
damage caused by the rats burrowing
through. the embankments necessitated
constant watchfulness and entailed
much hard labor, either in building
them entire or in digging out the bur-
rows and filling in with solid earth.
The rodentsalways infest the front
levees, hiinéybombing- them in every
direction and necessitating constant at
tention to avert the disastrous conse-
quences resulting from a crevasse.
Truck farmers in the lower part of
Plaquemines have alsa complained that
since the extermination of the alligator
the common rabbit, the raccoon and
other wild animals have increased
largely, and that the rabbit especially
has proved very destructive to cauli-
flower,’ cabbage and lettuce—in fact,
our informant said that if these ani-
mals continued to increase he would
be compelled either to erect a woven
wire fence around his truck farm or
abandon the culture of some of his
most profitable vegetables. Several
years since the police jury of the parish
of Plaquemines passed an ordinance
forbidding the killing of an alligator,
and with the increase came a corres-
ponding decrease in the number of
destructive vermin. We understand
that the law has since been repealed-~
for what reason we do not know.
——‘.—
intolerance of Hoboken.
Miss Mary Philbrook, of Hoboken,
has our sympathies—the, last one of
them, says the Washington Post. She
is an applicant for admission to the
New Jersey bar, and, pending the de-
cision, she is so full of curiosity that
she can hardly keep her jacket on.
Here is what she says:
“I can hardly wait patiently for the
result. I may know in three days and
perhaps not for a month. What will I
do if Judge Depue does not consent?
Why, I will not give up. I will appeal
to the Legislature, at Trenton, to pass
a general law for the state. Yes, that,
of course, might be refused me, too.
Well, then, if I am beaten out of the
field there will be nothing but to keep
on with my stenography, and after all
my work and hope that would be a hard
blow. I have now given four years to
law study, and if I fail in my endeavor
I feel it four years lost, for they were
the most valuable years of my life, and
1 might have given them to some other
study.”
Miss Mary is right. It’s real mean of
Judge Depue to keep her waiting in
this way when he must know that she
is literally dying to 'hear all about it.
He should consider her sex and speak
out. _ Pray, why shouldn’t Miss Phil-
brook, of .Hoboken, be admitted to the
New Jersey bar, anyhow? She is young
—oniy twenty-three—she has studied
hard four years, she is bright, and we’ll
bet eleven dollars that she’s pretty.
Why should they admit every lumpy
chap that comes along and then hesi-
tate and hum and haw and haggle over
Miss Mary Philbrook, just because she
wears stockings and a bang? It’s noth-
ing but narrow provincial prejudice,
and if Miss Mary will take ouradvice,
she will, in case Of her rejection; leave
Hoboken and move into the United
States and try again. After all, there
never was much in Hoboken. Miss
Mary ought to shake New Jersey and
come to Norwalk where a license, a
welcome, and all sorts of glory wait,
andwhere Mayor Keeler would be the
first to proffer her a, banquet.

' -. the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
The Morgan, Report.
More pleasing than'any other contri-
bution to recent Hawaiian-American lit-
erature was the great mass of opinion
and testimony yesterday submitted by
lations. There is conspicuous absence
of everything that seems like harsh-
ness, and although there was popular
opinion to the elIect that several per-
sons were prominently concerned in
the revolution of 1893 it is truly do-
lightful to learn that only one person
is declared blameworthy. President
Cleveland is commended for the mod-
eration displayed by him in refraining
from an actof war; Paramount Blount
is patted on the head and called a good
little boy, who did the best he knew
how; ex-Minister Stevens (lid many
things very well (one or two not quite
so well as others); Captain Wilt-se’s
memm y is vindicted completely; while
Minister Willis has made excellent dis-
play of his ability to carry out Presi-
dent Cleveland’s instructions—his only
fault being the excusable one of per-
forming every number in the program
instead of stopping where the Presi-
dent would have been satisfied to have
him stop. This is a most cheerful state
of affairs, beclouded only by the ex-
pressed belief of the committee that
Mrs. Dominis'is a sinner of the vilest
sort—~utterly unworthy to be queen,
and far from desirable as a social feat-
ure. From the beginning Of the com-
plications, which commenced to be a
year ago last January there has been
displayed very much of ingenuity in
the diplomatic procedure incident to
such troubles, but this is the first at-
tempt made to hold Mrs. Dominic
responsible for Paramount Blount’s
superficial investigation and supei'cil-
lious comments; for President Cleve-
land’s enthusiastic haste to the Ha~
waiian civilization hand and foot so
it might be clubbed to death by Kaua-
,ka barbarians; for the duplicity prac-
ticed by Minister Willis toward the
friendly government to which he was
accredited, or for the business paraly-
sis and deep distress which existed in
the Hawaiian Islands while the repre-
sentatives of the American gOvernment
held over the recently emancipated
people the threats of bloodshed and
return to the slavery of the past.
Knightly mankind has always been
inclined to blame Adam for his'coward-

His Opinion.
Representative DeForest said on
Wednesday: “The question has been
asked of me whether the whisky under
bend at the present time remains there
at the tax rate under the old law or
under the new one. The answer to the
question is, that if the whisky is taken
out of bond before the law goes into
effect, the tax paid is at the rate under
the law now in force. If the. party
owning the liquors waits until the new
law goes into effect then he must pay
lthe rate of tax established by the new
awn”:

Good Work.
The Industrial school association of

Monday evening. It was a benefit af-
fair and netted a splendid sum for the
good work in which the association is
engaged. Says a Brooklyn paper:
“ The statue posings and Greek dances
proved novel and pretty. The partici-
pants were from the delsarte class of
the Brooklyn school of oratory. .Among
the number taking part was Miss Ger-
trude S. Lyon, daughter of James
Lyon of Norwalk. As an evidence of
the good ‘work it has been doing
among the needy it ‘ may be mentioned
that in 1893 363 children were cared for
and 248,682 meals were furnished to
these little ones in that time. The num-
ber of days attendance in school for
that period was 19,800. Over 2,320 gar-
ments were given to children and in all

Attempted Suicide.
_ Wednesday afternoon, as B. L. Fillow
was on his way to his home on West
Main street, his attention was attracted
113? the cry of “murder” at the home of
rs. Alonzo Kelly on the same street.
Opposite the house Charles Guiles
and a man named Ezekiel were at work.
Mr. Fillow summoned them, and they
were quickly on the scene.
They found Mrs. Kelly wrestling with
her brother and separated the two. It
was developed that Mrs. Kelly had be-
come suddenly insane, and grabbing a
carvmg knife, had attempted to kill
her brother and to commit suicide.
To prevent the carrying out of her
object Mr. Millspaugh, who is quite
aged, endeavored to get the knife out
of her hand and was obliged to grab
her by the throat in order to save his
1 e. -
Mrs. Kelly was finally brought under
subjection and tied in a chair. Dr.
Huntington was summoned and pre-
3011qu for her. Shortly after she asked
tog 0 into an adjoining room. She passed
through the same and started up a
stairway. She had not gone far, how-
ever, before she found herself in the
grasp of Dr. Huntington, who suc-
ceeded in getting a small pocket-knife
from her hand.
An opiate was then administered and
the woman finally went to sleep. To a
GAZETTE reporter, this morning, mem-
bers of the family denied all reports
that Mrs. Kelly had cut her throat, but
admitted that she had inflicted a severe
cut on her hand near the wrist.
It was learned by the reporter that
for some days Mrs. Kelly has exhibited
Signs of derangement. That this fact
was known to the family is evidenced
by the careful watch that has been
kept over her.
It is understood that she will be tak-
en to the Westport Sanitarium for
treatment.

Obituary.
SARAH HODGE FITCH.
Mrs. Sarah H. Fitch, widow of the
late John Fitch, (the only son of Har-
vey Fitch, deceased,) of N orwalk, died
at her home in Washington on Monday
evening, February 26, after a long and
distressmg illness. A brief service was
held at her late residence, 116 Massa~
chusctts ayenue, Washington, Tuesday
evening, when the remains were for-
warded to Norwalk, where her funeral
took place this afternoon from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Harvey Fitch, No. 17
Park street, at 3:30 o’clock. Mrs. Fitch,
as I: well known to Norwalk people,
sufferer from an internal cancerous af-
fection the agonies of which she has
borne with Christain faith and forti-
tude. During all her long, weary,
wasting sufferings she has had the ten-
der, constant and faithful ministrations
of her daughter, Miss Janet Fitch.
Kind friends innumerable, both here
and in Washington, moved by that
touch of nature which makes all akin,
have extended to the uncomplaining
sufferer sympathy and help in unstint-
ed measure. That she has now found
surcease from pain, and peace and rest
in the realms of bliss supernal gives
tender emphasis to the truth that the
loving Father and Saviour "doeth all
things well.” To the" stricken widow’s
only child, how bereft of amother’s
presence and love, the great and gener—
ous heart of a whole community will
go out in tenderest love and solicitude,
to sustain and comfort her in her sor-
row and bereavement.

Patent Office Scandal.
A Washington dispatch credits Rep-
resentative DeForest with saying: “I
was very glad to be present with Com-
missioner of Patents Seymour, of N or-
walk and Assistant Secretary of State
Quincy, at the hearing befOie the
Senate committee on printing in re-
gard to the newspaper publication con-
cerning the contract for publishing the
“Patent Office Gazette.” While no
one in acquaintance with the character
of these gentlemen believes that there
is the slightest truth in the insinuations
against their character contained in
that article, or that they have been
guilty of any impropriety, yet, I must
say, it strikes me as rather singular
that the proceedings should take such
a shape. _ g-
“If that newspaper publication con-
tains, as the investigation assumes that
it does, charges of official misconduct
against the commissioner of patents
and the assistant secretary of state at
that time, then it is upon its face a
criminal libel, and should be treated
as such. It is the business of the pro-
secuting attorney, rather than the Sen-
ate of the United States in that in-
stance, as it seems to~me,-to deal with
such a libel. The criminal courts in
the jurisdiction is the place where it
should be properly investigated, and
the publisher of that article, rather
than the innocent victim, should be put
upon the defense. It is a well known
principle of law that such a publication
‘is a crime as much as a homicide, and
that if in the case either of the'homi-
cide or of the libel, there is no justifi-
cation which can be shown as a matter
of defense, it is the duty of the defend-
ant to produce and establish it.
“That is the way it strikes me. In
the present instance the author of the
libeilous article admitted that he had
been several weeks engaged in the pre'
paration of it. It was composed en-
tirely by him upon hearsay, as he had
no personal knowledge, whatever, of
anyt 3f the facts which he had stated

erect foreman, answered that the pris-
oner had been found guilty. Attorney
Hall requested a poll of the jury which
was ordered. During this proceeding
there was another surprise. " ‘
John Hard, of Sti'atford, unlike his
colleagues, answered “not guilty" and
there was a commotion. Mr. Hard
quieted it‘by announcing that he did
not know the final vote was meant. He
voted “guilty” on the final vctc, he
said. This settled the question of the
verdict. Attorney Carter asked that
sentence be passed; Mr. Hall asked
that the passing of sentence be deferred
till Friday. This would give him time
to decide as to the advisabilzty of filing
motion for arrest of judgment. The re-
quest was granted.
Fromamember of the jury it was
learned that four ballots were taken.
On the first the vote was eight for con
viction,two for acquittal and two blanks.
The second and third each” resulted 11
for convmtion and one for acquittal,
but on the fourth vote all the jurors
were unanimously for conviction. Who
the two jurors were originally favoring
vauittai could not be ascertained, but
one was undoubtedly John Hard whose
answer to the poll cause a momentary
surprise.
It is possible that an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme court. Among
the members of the jury were Frank
W. Beers and John Kelly of Bridge-
port.
George Barnes of Greenwich , charged
with being a party to the famous barn
