As a large number of GAZETTE read--

necessary to bring six coupons of con-
secutive dates before they can obtain a
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

Norwalk Bound Ahead.
Despite the utter prostration of busi-
ness and destitution of-remunerative
labor for idle working men in all parts
of the Nation, Norwalk is enjoying an
exceptional labor boom in the construc-
tion and reconstruction of our exten-
sive street railway lines. In a short
time Norwalk will have an electric line
of street tramways from Winnipauk to
Roton Point, and traversing both of
long and beautiful main avenues be-
tween Norwalk’s two young cities.
These public works have afforded em-
ployment to large numbers of our
working men, who otherwise would
have remained in enforced idleness.
The large sums of money also disbursed
in our midst by reason of these exten-
sive local improvements has given us a
financial aid and relief, to the severe
financial stagnation prevailing else-
where, that cannot be overestimated.
<~O ’-
Emigration and Immigration.
The bill which has been submitted to
the Secretary of the Treasury by the
Bureau of Statistics requiring of steam-
ship companies that they furnish com-
plete lists of returning emigrants, as
well as of the immigrants whom they
bring over, would impose no hardship
on the companies, and would be of
value to the government in determin-
ing how the tide ebbs and flows.
t is of interest to. know how the
balance stands from year to year, or
quarter to quarter. The rigorous en-
forcement of our immigration laws has
resulted, as is well known, in keeping
out of the country many persons who
on one account or another belong to
an undesirable class, while‘he unfav-
orable condition of the labor market
in the United States has kept out thous-
ands arriving during the eleven months
from July 1, 1893, to May 31st, 1894,
being about half of the number arriv-
ing during the corresponding year be-
fore. In the mean time, many foreign-
ers are returning to Europe for the
same reason that so many have 'been
deterred from coming, and it is con-
cerning these-that more particular in-
formation is desired. ' ‘
It is not unlikely that on the revival
of businessprosperity in this country
the ‘volumexof immigration will be
largely augmented, but our statutory
regulations are such that the danger
of promiscuous importations has been
largely decreased, and henceforth
greater vigilance than ever before
lhould be exercised, even if additional
legislation be required, to bar out the
diseased and pauperized, the illiterate
and anarchistic, and all, in short, who
are not well vouched for by our own
or the agents of the steamship compan-
ies abroad.

ing very happily ended Norwalk’s 244th
anniversary celebration. The Armory
was well filled with N orwalk’s best peo-
ple, and the handsome tallets worn by
the ladies and the colomal costumes
of the gentlemen was a beautlful sight
when seen by electric light. The
Wheeler A: Wilson string band, sta-
tioned at one side of the room, dis-
coursed sweet music during the even-
ing. There were many costumes pres-
ent which had been prepared for the
occasion, but there were several of the
genuine, which had been preserved by
the children of the early settlers of
Norwalk. Notably among this number
was a handsome red brocade satin worn
by Mrs. George B. St. John whlch was
worn by her great-grandmother in
1766. Another handsome tellet was
' worn by Mrs. John P. Treadwell. which
was a pink pineapple cloth with bro-
caded flounces. The dress. was 140
years old and had been nicely pre-
served. Mrs. William K. James wore
a hat and black velvet dress 75 years
old. Miss Sarah Stevens was costumed
in a black moireantique With a pornt
lace cape which were over 100 years
old and Miss Clara Hill wore a pale
green canton crepe draped w1th antique
lace, and a miniature of her grand-
father painted on ivory in 1823. The
dress was worn by her great-grand-
mother at Portland, Me., before 1800.

After executing several maneuvers
the couples were halted and formed
into sets and the first dance on the pro-
gramme, the lanciers, was danced by
those in costume. The remaining fif-
teen numbers werh then participated in
by those not in 'costume.
The front part of the drill room was
divided off for refreshments, one side
being for ice cream and cake and the
other for a tea. The ladies served the
latter, and all were furnished in De-
Klyn’s best style. Among the ‘most
notable tables was that presided over
by Mrs. BrM. Andrews. In the center
was a handsome Flemish silver center
piece and candelabra several hundred
years old, .a silver milk pitcher 250
years old a silver tea stirrer 250 years
old, a silver hasty pudding spoon 250
years old and a china set over 150 years
old.
The rooms containing the relics were
largely visited during the evening, and
to allow those who have not had an op-
portunity to see these interesting bits
of olden times the exhibit will not be
closed until Friday night.

godspeed to the iron muscled athletes
of Yale University who are. to battle
with the Oxfords for the worlds supre-
macy in the athletic field. _
Those who went were W. O. Hickok,

A. Pond Jr. C. H. Sherrill, Yale, ’89,
who has been chiefly instrumental. in
bringing about the match, accompanied
the team. ' He will have general super-
vision of the men. . 5
“I have great confidence in the suc-
cess of my men,” said Captain Hickok,
"the champion weight thrower,just be-
fore leaving. The Men are all in cham-
pion fornf now; and I dont think the
sea voyage will affect them much to
their detriment. We shall not be idle
during the voyage. The men will get
up early every morning and take a two-
mile spin around the decks. A cold sea
water bath will brace them up at the
end of the run. Sea sickness for
twenty-four hours will not hurt them;
on the contrary,-I believe it will tone up
their systems. They Will be kept on
healthful diet, without too rigid restric-~
tions.” _ -
Members of the team occupy state
rooms 357, 359, and 362. They carry
use during the time of training. They
expect to arrive in London next Wed-
nesday night, which will giye them
ample time to get into cOndition for
the contest on July 16. The average
age of the team is twenty years and six
months, - the average weight 161 1-2
pounds and the average height little
less than six feet.

Wednesday afternoon Charles Steeb
strolled to a point where the‘ Street
Railway tracks are being torn up on
Wall street, and sitting down on a tie
used abusive language to Foreman Hag-

little attention to him, but later told
him to stop his abuse. Steeb paid no
attention to the request and Chief
Bradley was summoned who placed
Steeb under arrest and took him to the
“cooler” where he remained until this
morning, when he was taken before
Justice Austin who fined him $57 and
costs for breach of the peace, and sen-
tenCed him to thirty days in jail for

TRACY . PLEADS FOR” Error.
The Staten Island Maguuto Was Overcome
by the . Sentence—Judge lugnhum'l
‘ Opinion of the Testimony—No-
\ tloo of Appeal Served.
NEW YORK, J unc 21.—The court of oyor
and terml'aer, in which sentence was pro:
nounced today upon Erastus Wlman, who
was convicted of forgery last Friday, was
called toorder when Justice Ingraham,
Who presided at the trial, took his seat.
Mr. Wiman was led in in charge of two
deputy sheriffs. He looked much as he
did during this trial and. smiled to his
counsel and some friends wife were pres
cut. The room was not crowded-
General Tracy, senior .cOunsel for the
prisoner, stepped forward, and in order,
as he' said, to preserve the defendant’s
right, announced that' he would appeal
’ the case on three grounds—that the court
'mlsdlreoted the jury; that the verdict of
the jury was contrary to law. and that it
was contrary to the evidence?" 5 .
General Tracy then addressed to the
court‘s plea for clemency. I“Mr-.‘ Wlman,“
he said, “in this prosecution has had the
sympathy of all on his side. He is one 01
the most widely known and highly es-
timated men'of affairs in this part of the
world, and all who know him consider
him incapable of a. deliberate crime. I
urge further that Mr. Wiman, when he
took this 555, 000 and turned it lnto‘hts ac-
,. count, intended to use it for the-benefit of
j - the business in which Mr. Dun was large-
ly interested. Had the venture succeeded
he would have been praised instead of
- prosecuted.” ' . '
General Tracey then laid particular
stress on the jury’s recommendation for
mercy and. .said that, considering it, the
judge could not carry clemency too far.
Judge Ingruhom's Remarks.
When counselhad ended, the crier,wlth
the usual formula, called upon Mr. Wi-
man to stand up. Judge Ingraham, ad-
dressing hlm, said: . '
“Sentence must now be imposed upon
you, Erastus Wiman, for this-ls my distinct
duty, no matter how greatly I might pre-
fer n'ott‘o do such. a thing. The only con-'
slderatlons by which I am allowed to be
swayed arc; judicial considerations. In
considering this let me first point out to
you that'the object of imposing a punish-
ment upon youls'not to hurt you, nor is
it done to gratify Dun and his associates.
The object of the law is to deter you and
others, so far as it may be possible, from
repeating this particular ofiense.
,l “The evidence showed that in your
transactions as manager of Dun’s business
you repeatedly forged orders for the pur-
pose of obtaining money, and you did this
regardless of the legality of your, acts.
The fact that in doing this you violated
the spirit of your trust certainly does not
.palllato your oflense. It is claimed that
“you“bellcvedyou had a right tothernoney
not think that you had a legal right tolt.
thought so. The letter which'you wrote,
though you did it under the advice of Mr.
-McFurland. as ydu allege, is not that of a.
man who thinks he acted in a way that
was not wrong. ,
. “The jury recommended you to mercy,
and this recommendation has due weight
with inc. The jury-has my sincere thanks
for giving me its aid in this matter and
for the careful and painstaking attention
it gave to all of the proceedings had before
it and this court. .
“With due consideration for the jury’s
commendation, therefore, I sentence you
to a term of five years and six months in
the Sing Sing prison.” .
. Mr. Wlunn Bewlldored. _
Mr. Wlman fer a. moment looked bewil-
dered, and then he sank heavily into his
chair, while one of his sons took his hand.
He seemed to recover almost instantly,
thcugh, for, turning to his son, lie smiled
faintly and expressed his gratification that
the sentence had not been heavier.
Judge Ingraham then explained to Mr.
Wlman’s counsel that by commutation
for. good behavior this term could; be re-
duced to 3 years, 11 months and 15 days.
so that the prisoner could be set at liberty
in the spring of 1898.
For the purpose of enabling'the counsel
for the defense to procure a stay, Judge
Ingraham saidche would order the sherlfl
to let Wlman remain at the Tombs till
Tuesday morning. He himéelf, he said,
would not consider such an application,
as he could not conscientiously‘certify to
holding any doubt as to the justice Of the
verdict. General. Tracy then announced
‘that he would not make his application
outside of this judicial district. To Jus«
tlce Barrett, therefore, the , application
will probably'fir'lt be taken. ~ .
