As a large number of GAZETTE read-

necessary to bring six coupons of con-

portfolio of “The World and Its Peo-

change the number, of coupons to one.
Anyone desiring a portfolio can now
obtain it by presenting one coupon and

A Suggestion.
We would suggest that our Tramway
friends put in telephones at their several
svitches as is done in Denver, thereby
enabling the car dispatcher to regulate
the movement of cars. This would
avoid delays and improve an already
excellent service.

Experienced Legislators.
The Maine Republicans have renomi-
nated Boutelle, Dingley and Milliken
for Congress and there can be no doubt
of the renomination and re-election of
Reed. The rotation idiocy which re.
tires Congressmen just as they have ac-
quired sufficient experience to be of,
some use to their constituents has not.
been the rule in the Pine Tree State,
with the gratifying result that Maine
has had during the last quarter of a
century one or more members in that
body of commanding influence. Blaine
was the leader of the House for several
terms and no one disputes Reed’s lead—
ership on the Republican side of that
body now. If the Maine Republican
rule in this matter were the rule Of both
parties in every state the House would
be a very muchmore capable body of
legislators than it is at present.
By What Authority.
The saloon near the bridge having
opened its doors Chief Bradley visited
the place to ascertain whether a license
had been granted. He was told that a
license had not yet been received, and
he reported the matter to PreSecuting
Agent Honnecker. The latter took
the case in charge and ‘later informed
the Chief that it was all right and the
saloon could sell. I ' ,
By what authority a saloon can be
allowed to do business before a license
is received is not known, nor does the
statutes previde’for such sale. See.
3072 of the General Statutes requires a
license to be framed and hung in plain
View in a conspicuous place in the.
. room where the sale is to be carried
on, and the penalty for violating this
section is $5. As no license‘ has been
received it would appear as though
some one is liable to arrest, provided a-
sale has been made at this saloon.
Rights of Workingmen.
_’I’he.fact that four American work-
men were violently seized by a lot of
hoodlum strikers at Lemon Fayette
county,Pa.,on Sunday and en jected to
' every conceivable indignity before the
public, forcibly recalls the necessity
for the lawful authorities of that state
to vindicate the rights of workingmen.
When a lot of brutalized, ignorant and
fiendish foreigners can drag American
workingmen from their employment,
placard them as blacklegs and parade
them through the. streets in punish-
ment for the singleofi'ense of choosing
to accept employment on terms satis-
factory to themselves, it is high time
that the law should be sternly enforced,
and that the hoodlums who are giving
us disorder in every section of the
country should be driven from our
fields of labor. .
It is a most impressive fact that in
every instance where there has been
riotous conduct on the part of strikers,
the lawlessness has been inspired by
ignorant foreigners that have lately
come into our mining fields. They are
not citizens of the country; they have
no knowledge of our free'..institutions;
they. regard libertysimpl‘y as license,
and they have no sympathy with or
appreciation of our great free govern;
ment of law. American workmen, both-
native born and naturalized, are, as a
rule, law abiding citizens. They or-
ganize for the protection 'of 'labor, as is
their irig’h‘t; they" strike when their
wages are unsatisfactory, "as ‘is their
undOubted right, but they do not carry
their strikes to the destruc‘don of prop-
erty or to violence against fellow-
workmen who happen not to agree with
them. The whole spirit ,of lawlessness
that now prevails so largely in some of
our industrial centres comes wholly
from the brutal foreign element that
has gained supremacy, and the
time has come when it must be mas-._
tered or anarchy must be expected to'
prevail where a large number of men
,are employed. -

.. In a. Temper.
- Mr. Jarvis Kellogg was in an exceed-
ingly high temper this morning, and
all because of the receipt of a. blank
purporting to have been issued by the
selectmen calling upon him to have his.
dog registered or suffer the consequen-
ces. To a GAZETTE reporter Jarvrs
said : “I’m over forty years of age and
never owned a dog in my life. This
letter is an outrage. A dog did follow
me home one night this week and I fed
him, but I haven’t. seen him since so
help me—-—the price of a four dollar pair
of shoes.” Since writing the above it
is learned that_Mr. Kellogg was the
victim of a practical joker.

Founder’s Day.
Plans have been made for a- general
observance of Founder’s Day in the
schools. During the forenoon session
of Tuesday,.June
have particular reference to Norwalk
history. A program has been prepared
by a special committee of the princi-
pals of the schools, which includes the
most prominent facts connected With
the founding and later development
and history of the town. The program
will thus be the same in all the. schools
with such variations as individual
teachers may find possible or desirable.
In preparing for these historical ex-
ercises, great assistance has been ren-
dered by Rev. C. M. Selleck, who has
devoted much time and attention to
local history, and who kindly consented
to meet the teachers of the town an.
give them seine. of the benefits of his
extensive and accurate information.
Engineer William B. Rider, whose
practical knowledge of the topography
of this part of the state and interest in
its history, especially qualified him for
the work, has prepared a'map of Nor-
walk, which will serve to illustrate and
explain many facts in the history of the
town. A, copy of this map is furnished
to each teacher to be used in the his-
torical exercises.
With this carefully prepared program
and these aids for carrying it out, the
result cannot fail to be a greatlytin- ,
creased knowledge on the part of he
school children, of the history of the
town. Who can doubt that_the ten-
dency of this knowledge w111.be to
broaden and deepen their patriotism,
and to make them more intelligent and
better citizens? - . _
The exercises in the afternoon Will
be of a general character, and will be
participated in by the children of all
the schools in town. In the upper part
of the town the place of rendezvous
will be at the Center School. From
this place the schools will march to the
Armory, and will be jOined on the way
by the Parochial and Over River
Schools, headed by Dwyer’s band. The
schools in the south part of the town
including the school from East_Nor-
walk, will assemble at the Franklin St.
School and from thence, accompanied
by Heine’s band, will take up their
march to the Armory.
The several schools are due at the
Armory at half past two, and on their
arrivalwill be filed in through‘the north
and west dobrs, and take their seats in
the order assigned them. '
After the seating of the schools the
doors will be open for the admittance
of the general public. No one Will be
admitted before that time, and no chil-
dren will be admitted at all, except
those who are in the ranks of their re-
spective schools.
The exercises will consist of address-
es by Rev. S. H. Watkins, Rev. T. M.
O’Brien, and Rev. A. S. Kavanagh, and
musical and other exercises by the
schoolchildren. At the conclusion of
the exercises the children will file- out
of the Armory and forming in proces- '
,sion take up the line of march_for their
respective rendezvous. This final
march will close the exercises for the
afternoon. ‘ ~

'fiuolness a' Success Was ‘No Ex;
cuse For Forgery.
NEW Yonx, June 16.—Ip the . Wimau
trial err-Secretary Tracy summed up‘ for
the defendant. He endeavored to convince
the. jury that Erastus Wiman ‘signed the
name of E. W. Bullinger on the back of a
check, which check he afterWard uttered,
with no evil intent, either in the signing
or the uttering, and was therefore net
guilty of forgery in the second degree, the
crime charged against him. General
Tracy stood directly in front of the jury
and began the summing up in his most
impressive style. He called the attention
of the jurors to the fact that upon them
Only rested the great responsibilityns to
the fate of Erastus .Wiman.
The judge would give them. the law,
but they only could pass upon the facts
and decide whether in committing this
action Mr. Wiman had chininal intent.
Mr. Wiman’s action in signing Bullinger’s
name on the back of the $5, 000 check was
fully in accordance with the principles of
commercial law.
‘, Mr. Wlman Woeps.
He called attention to the fact that, not-
withstanding the contract of Jan. 1, 1889,
in R. G. Dun & 00., and the spirit of the
contract, as they understood it and admin-
istered it, justified him in so thinking.
"This intent to defraud, ’.’ISaid"General
Tracy,“is a. question of fact, and you must
decide it beyond a reasonable doubt. 'In
doing so' you must consider all the circum-
stances Of Wiman’s life and of his connec-
tion with the business of R. G. Dun &.
00., how he built the business up from
nothing until it brought in the princely
income of nearly $500,000 a year.” ' ..
General Tracy then took up the subject
of » Mr. Wiman’s reputation. “He is a
inan60 years Old and has been, the asso-
ciate of the most distinguished men of the
country, trusted and honored by them and
by the mass of the people. ~You must look
is capable of intent to defraud.”
Mr. Wiman was greatly Overcome by
‘ General Tracy’sreferenco to his family re-
lations, and to Mrs. Wlman’s giving up
all her property to Mr. Dun. He burst
into tears when General Tracy said, with
emphasis, but in a broken voice, “And
now you are asked to compensate this
woman for her devotion to her husband
and his honor by sending him to state pris~
on. i l ,
No J ustiflcatlon Fox- Robbery.
In closing for the prosecution Mr. Weil—
man called particular attention to the
fact that Mr. Wiman had enjoyed all the
protection which criminal law gives a do-.
. fondant and had been defended by Gen-
.eral Tracy, “by far the greatest criminal
' lawyer in this part Of the country." ; ‘ ',
Then Mr. Wellman took up the evl‘
in robbing his employer because he had.
made that employer’s business a success.
He called attention to the extreme week‘-
ness of the defenses put forward and dis-
oussed them one by one, commenting on
how they were supported by evidence. A:
to the first defense that Mr. Wiman had
made Mr. Dun’s business a success, Mr.
Wellman said no other business of Mr.
Wlman’a had been successful, and the
Bradstreet agency, with which Mr. Wl~
man was not connected, had made more.
money than R. G. Don 85 Co." , ,
Then came the instruction to pay the
money back—the second defense. Mr.
Wellman said Mr. Wlman did intend to
pay it back some day, but the fact that his
check was disguised showed that he knew
he could not pay it back for a long time.
Mr. Dun’s having to pay that 05,000. a.
second time to E. W. Buiiinger showed
that Mr. Wlman's act had defrauded R. G.
Dun & Co. Mr. Wellman closed‘by saying
that it was for the sake'of example that
he asked the ”jury to convict Mr. Wiman.
After recess Judge Ingrahain charged the
jury.
