Old Glory’s Defenders.

Says the Register: There is no more
beautiful symbol of government than
our stars and stripes. It is brilliant in
coloring and bewildering in the beauty
of its folds. Honor it upon every oc-
casion until every man, woman, and
child. whatever his nationality, has
learned to lift his hat at its display.

, Yale vs. Oxford.

.-:It isnow understood that the Oxford-
Yale international athletic games will
take place on July 14, on grounds long
Orici'by reason of the many great
ts'that have been fought thereon

"composition of the Oxford
.. othing is at present known'on
s side of thevwater, but, from rec-
ords made by some of the old univer-

sity’s best men during the past year or

two, there is enough goo :material
available to keep the Ame.1‘can boys
very busy from start to finish. In
none of the events on the varied pro-
g1 am is there anything like the proba-‘
bility of a walkover. The two nations-
which will be represented cannot but
be deeply interested in the friendly
rivalry and its outcome; there has
been too little of amicable competition
in the past. Professionals in several
lines of physical endeavor have met—
some on this side of the Atlantic and
some on the other——but the public has
always felt a trifle suspicious of the
professional. The young men who will
flaunt the blue of Oxford and the blue
'of Yale in each other’s faces are thor-
oughly representative ; their efforts to
achieve supremacy will be incontest-
ably real; they will show the world
how cleanly and satisfactory is amateur
sport and will at the same time, it is
hoped, smash more than one record.
Of course, everybody here hopes that
Yale will come off conqueror.
v Q A
Truth Out at Last.
A short while ago the Rev. Dr. Park-
‘hurst of New York was the laughing
stock of the multitude. Comic papers
cartooned him unmercifully and he was

a never failing theme for the mirth of

paragraph ers. As for the element which

 

- comprises the population of the nether

side of New York, it fairly writhed in
.paroxysms of glee over' the crusade
which the reverend gentleman had an-
nounced that he Wauld undertake for
the purpose of purifying the morals of
the wicked metropolis. Within the past
six months public derision of Dr. Park-
hurst has been changed to admiration
and the satirical smiles of the objects
of his warfare have been succeeded by
scowls of anger and hatred. With en-
ergy unrivalled and a persistency as
admirable as it was emphatic the New
York preacher has pursueda relentless
battle against the quasi-criminal classes
of Gotham and victory after victory
has perched upon his banner. To-day
every brothel in the famous tenderloin
precinct is closed as tightly as 0. her-
metically sealed- jar. The testimony
which is being adduced before the com-
mittee of the New York state senate,
which is investigating the police do-
partment of New York city, and whose
creation for that purpose is due to the
indefatigable gfi’orts of Dr. Parkhurst,
throws additional light upon the con»
nection between the city’s police and
its criminals. At the examination last
Friday, one Charles Priem testified
that he was the keeper of a disorderly
house for six years at No. 28 Bayard
street, and that during'that time he
paid forty three hundred dollars to the
police authorities of that district in
order to secure immunity from the law
in the prosecTition of his avocation.
The respectable element of the entire
country will join in heartfelt thanks to
Dr. Parkhurst for the brave and suc-'
cessful fight he has wagedagainst'the
immorality of America’s greatest city,
and aggressive Christians will find in
his me,thods..a. powerful-- argument for
using strong measures in dealing'with'
the insidious foes bf morality and civ-
ilization that hide themselves behind,
the purchased protection of municipal
authorities. . ' ’

Escaped From the institute.

Dr. William Coe Holmes, a well
known young physician of Waterbury,
who has been an inmate of the Gris-

Monday and has not since been heard
from. -

Didn’t Advertise. _

Some months since a man named
Ferris and residing in Stamford opened
a branch clothing store on Main street,
this city. Mr. “Al” Newman, a young
man popular with Norwalk people was
placed in charge as manager. The
stock was all right, “Al” was .0. K.,
but the proprietor didn’t advertise. - I
is understood that the store is soon to“
be closed for want of patronage. , The
moral is obvious. - . -

Fairly Gorged Themselves.

The boys were out playing in the park,
when one of them discovered a pungent
root, which, he declare}, after tasting, was
flagroot. Many refused to eat any of the
stuff, but some of the boys fairly gorged
themselves with it. ’ r;

. About dusk one of the boys was taken
with cramps, and within an hour all who
had eaten of the poisonous root were death-
ly sick. Such simple remedies as the siStors
knew of were applied for the relief of the
little sufferers, .but without avail. Then
physicians were hurriedly called. from Tar-
rytown to administer to the poisoned chil-’
dren. The coroner has ordered an autop-
sy to be made in each case. Undertaker.
Vanderbilt has taken charge of yhe flve'
dead bodirs to prepare them for burial.
The dead children will be buried at the ex-
penso of the institution. Most of the in-

Troops Arc Out In Maryland: I
to Suppress Disorder. . ~ ..

, COLUMBUS, 0., June .6.—Substantially
all of the ofllcers and district presidents of
the United Mine Workers of America met
today in tthe Grand Central hotel. _. They
opened with "an executive session. An
effort is, being made by outsiders, it is
understood, to have these emcers'declare
in favor of a resumption-of werk at Sail
_mines in Ohio, western , Pennsylvania.
,‘Iudlana, central Iliniois find certain oth-
er contiguous territory, provided opera-
tors in such territory, or some of them,
consent to pay the price that is asked for
,minlng.

The argument that is being brought‘to
bear to eflect this plan is that, while the
minersas rule have been law abiding and
have won a- fair share of public Sypmathy,
sdmc of them seem to feel'disposed todls-
obey. President McBride’s strict injunc-
tion to keep within the law, and because
of such disobedience public sympathy may
turn the other way. . .

A well known operator here, in speak:
ing of this movement to resume work:
upon the plan herein outlined, says it;
Were better to resume upon the foregoing
conditions-for less money than the scale of
last year. What effect this effort to se-
cure a. settlement may have cannot. be
foreshadowed, as the niiners’. officials Will
not talk for publication. It is known,
however, that some of them have been
urged to settle on the foregoing basis.

The Cripple Creek Strike Settled.
DENVER, J une 6.——The strike at Cripple

Creek has been settled. ' The conference
began at 8 o’clock. Governor Waite an-
nounced to the operators that he was au-
thorized to act for the \miners, and consid-..
eration of the various points was immedi-
"ately begun. But one point caused serious
complication, and that was the time al-
lowed for lunchoen. The miners demand,
30 minutes, they to be allowed pay for the
time. The articles of agreement provide,
that the miners shall work eight hoursf
a. .day, . with 20. minutes for luncheon;
that they be paid at the rate of $3 0*
day, and that the mine owners in employ-
ing men shall not discriminate against
either union or nonunion men. After the
conference the governor issued a proclama—
tion calling on the men to lay down their
arms. The state militia is to be called on
to go..to Cripple Creek and’assist the sher-
iff in restoring order.‘ '

,theaii marched to the, other _mines of the

demand upon the minors to quit work.
Their demand was promptly refused, and
the strikers began prepai'ation to enforce
it. It is reported that a sheriff ’s posse has
~rbeen: captured by the mob. The strikers
are" said to’ be well armed and will resist
'to the last any attempt on the part of the
mines that are now in operation to con-
tinue. - i "

seemed to accept the situation in good
humor. More deputies left ,here about 2.

held for unlawful assembly and for'lelat-
ing an injunction of court.

Outside Operators Will Attend.
PITTSBURG, J une 6.-—It is stated upon rc-
liable authority that at the present meet-
ing of the executive officials and district
presidents of the United Mine Workers at
Columbus a communication will be re-
ceived from the Illinois wtmuors that it

are is held the Illinois operators will at-
tend. This is exceedingly important, as
the refusal of the Illinois and West Vii-
ginia operators to attend the Cleveland
conference was the cause of its failure.
