The City Water.
Arrangements were made, we under-
stand, at a meeting of our Water Com-
missioners last night, to have the South
Norwalk water turned into our pipes in
the possible event of a fire or other
accident causing a serious loss of the
little water now remaining in our reser-
voirs. Meantime it is cruel for con-
sumers to waste a drop of the water in
the face of this imminence» of a water
famine, as many are notoriously doing.
The New Cure for Diphtheria.
The results of the experiments of the
New York Health Department with the
anti-toxins method of treating diph-
theria are most encouraging. There
are few infectious diseases, especially
among children, that baffle medical
treatment more stubbornlyafter a cer-
tain stage, than this scourge, and if
this remedy proves to be what is prom-
ised for it by its distinguished author,
Dr. Koch of Berlin, it will be one of
the most important medical disCoveries
of recent times. Out of about 250
cases treated bythe’local Health Board
by the anti-toxins method 100 per cent.
recovered where inoculation took place
on the first day'a‘nd 97 and 87 per cent.
.rospectivcly where it occurred on the
second and third days. 'One of the
signal features of this new treatment is
said to be its totally harmless charac-
ter. No matter what the condition of
the patient, if the remedy does not ac-
complish a cure it at least leaves no in-
jurious effects behind. '

The Women 'Must Wait.
The Constitutional Convention of the
State of New York, by a vote of 97 to
58, has agreed to an adverse report up-
on lhe proposition looking to the sub-
mission to the people of an amend-
ment extending the suffrage to women.
This may not end the agitation on
the subject, but it ends any present
hope of success.
The fight for woman suffrage in New
York has been made with extraordi~
nary energy, and while its friends got
no further than to propose a popular
vote as to whether a woman suffrage
amendment should be submitted to the
people at a future time, even this con-
cession has been deliberately voted
down. The result was anticipated and
it is not necessary to discuss the rea-
sons for it.
It must be obvious, whatever any
onc’stheoretical ideas on the subject
may be, that the present is not a favor-
able time for an extension of the silt.
frage in any'of our states. The great:
est dangers now recognized by all are
such as result from the very large pro-
portion of ignorant voters in nearly
every American community, and those
who have the security of the state at
heart,maywell hesitate to enlarge the
body of ignorant voters, even though
some addition to the number of intelli-
gent voters might be made at the same
time.
The educated women who claim that
they would make a better use of the
franchise than the mass of uneducated
men are undoubtedly right-’ It is be-
fore the large preponderanccof unedu-
cated women that the New York con-
vention has‘made pause. Woman suf-
frag " ay come in the future, but it
will be only when thosé already pos-
sessed of the suffrage are convinced
that its extension will promote the well-
being of the state, and that time evi-
dently has not yet arrived.
At present the country is suffering
from too much voting. ‘
A Good idea and its Results.
An interesting and novel experiment
in providing for the unemployed was
begun in Berne, Switzerland, in 1893.,
The report of its operation for the year
1883-4 has just been made public, and
indicates at least as much success as
was anticipated. The object was to in- '
duce working men themselves to make
some provision against lack of work,
while at the same time the .city under-
took to do its fair share, and subscrip-
tions were asked. from individuals and
from the manufacturers" union. The
membership fee for workmen is forty‘
ccntimes (eight cents) a month.’ Any
member who has paid his dues'regular.
ly for six months is- entitled to relief at
a fixed rate, provided his being out of,
work is not his own fault. - If he has 1

day for an unmarried man, and onei—ianwj
a half francs fora-married man. _,
During the year just passed there
were about 400 members, most of whom
joined in June, 1893. The headquar-
ters were open in December, January
and February, these being . the months
in which work is hardest to find. An
informationibureau is maintained under
the supervision of the .municipal coun-
The rooms are well warmed and
supplied with newspapers, benches and
tables. Every person on the list for
‘help last winter wag obliged to answer
- roll callptwice, a day, absence involving
a fine of half the sum to be paid him
that day. Workmen not members were
allowed to visit and use the rooms.
, Nowfor results. In the .three months
December 1 to March 1, 216" members
applied for benefits, all but six of them
in December and January. The amount
of benefits paid was 6,825.75 francs, and
the total outlay including running ex~
penses, 7,815.70 francs. The receipts
were as follows: From members 1,124..-
80 francs, employers’ union 949.60
francs, voluntary gifts 1,005. 90. francs,
city treasury 4,735.40 francs.
It was found that every member ac-
cepted work promptly when it was pro-
vided by the association. The danger
of pauperizing those who need help
seems to have been avoided. In fact
when workmen themselves are contrib-
uting to the fund they can put a strong
pressure on any other workman who
tries to take advantage of what is done
for the benefitof all, actual or possible.
The results of the experiment are
satisfactory to the authorities and the
citizens, as they well may be. There
cannot be many places, remarks the
Courant, in which so much help to un-
employed men was given last winter at
so small an outlay, and with so little
danger of doing harm.
Beneficial Work.
The Farmer of Monday publishes the
following as an instance of the benefi-
cial work being done by the Connecti-
cut Humane society : ‘
"‘I‘his afternoon Emma, Teddy and.
Lizzie Chapman, three of the seven
children of Thomas Chapmam of the
East End, were committed to the Coun-
ty home at Norwalk. They. are mem-
--bers of a family which has probably felt
the effects of the hard times as much as
any 'in the city. The father is an engin-
eer and a steady, conscientious work-
man, but for over eight months he has
had no work. All through the winter
and Spring it became more and more
difficult for thefamily to live. .
There were‘seven children, thus mak-
ing nine months to feed. And one of
them, Tommy,» was suffering with a dis-
ease which prevented him from walking
and which has since been found to be
necrosis of the thigh bone. An older
boy, however, earned $3 a week and on
this, with what little more they could
earn, the nine people have existed.
A little over a week ago neighbors re-
ported the case to the Humane agents
and they commenced an investigation.
They had been aided during the winter
by charitable people but more was need-
ed. Physicians were called in and Fri-
day little Tommy was carried to the
hospital. Saturday the hearing on the
commission of the other thr‘ec children
to the County home was continued to
today and this afternoon their commit-
ment was ordered. This leaves three
children at home with the parents.
Stamford Protects its Own.
Stamford mechanics, laborers, and
storekeepers believe in protection to
home industries, and, so far as possible,
will see that that principleis carried
out in awarding contracts for public
work. Recently it was voted to build
a high school building, at _a-cost of
$50,000 to the town.
The committee in charge of the work
secured the services of a New York
architect to draw the plans, though
there are several good architects in
town. This caused considerable unfa-
vorable comment. In order to prevent
the letting of the contract to out-of-
town builders, the mechanics, laborers,
and business men had the Selectmen
call a special town meeting for the pub-
lic expression of opinion on this sub-
ject. It was held Monday morning,
and a resolution was passed that no es-
timates be accepted for building except
from residents of Stamford. Inasmuch
as out-of—town builders have, in re-
sponse to an advertisement, sent in
bids, it is said that they may hold the
town legally liable if these estimates
are thrown out because of this vote.

Shad In Place of Menhaden.
A correspondent of the “Bath Enter-
prise,” who viSited Georgetown lately,
believes he has found the cause for the
late scarcity of: shad in that region.
While at Indian Point he saw, five
steamers seining porgies in the mouth
of the Kennebec and one day visited
one of these, and discovered that the
hold of the vessel was filled with—not
porgies, but shad. As the hold was 30
by 15 feet and the mass of shad was
three feet deep, he says this would
make, in the one haul of the seine that
he witnessed, more shad than were
caught by all the fishermen about Mer-
ryineeting Bay in the whole of the last
fishing season. The captain of this
steamer told him that two other steam-
ers had made hauls of shad, one five
hundred and the other six hundred
barrels, each holding a hundred or
more fish. These‘ three lots would be
double the whole catch of the Kenne-
bec this year.——Kennebec Journal.

N ORWALK OPERA HOUSE .
Rice’s Grand Opera House. Stock
Company had a big house last night to\
see “Beacon Lights” and if enthuiasm
counts for anything they should have
big houses all the week. The company,
the band, the orchestra, the specialties
all were applauded to the echo. The
company is very strong and gave a
splendid performance last night. The or-
chestra surpasses everything ever heard
here with a dramatic company. The
noon day concerts .by the band are well
worth hearing. One pleasant feature
last night was the abundance of Singing
and dancing specialties that were given.
So well was the audience pleased that
many of them bought seats for to-night
before leaving the theatre. The com-
pany will doubtless do a very large
business here this week, and so they
should, for no company ever Visited
here that gave so much, nor so good,
for the prices. There is already a
large advance sale for“1‘wixt Love and
Duty” to-night.- .
Sold “Oleo” for Butter.
W. W. Comstock of. New Canaan was
bound over to the United States dis-
trict court Monday afternoon by United
States Commissioner Wright for selling
aloe-margarine without a government
license. - He was released on bonds of
$500 furnished by his father.
Comstock is a butter peddler and
bought “oleo” in quantities and stamped
it in small packages to represent fine
butter. He was detected by Deputy
Collector -W. R. Sloan of this city and
to him admitted that he had been deal-
ing in it.

Milford Man Robbed.
Stephen Hennessey of Milford, went
to Hartford on Saturday night from
New Haven, drunk, with $25. in his
pocket. He visited a courtesan on
State street and at 3 o’clock Sunday
morning was escorted from the house
b Wallace Peterson and Peter Conditt.
H}; had nothing on but his undershirt.
His clothes were found, but his money
and jewelry were gone. The men were
charged with robbing him, but were
discharged in the police court for lack
of evidence. '
Wants the Trolley.
Let us have the trolley system on out
street cars, so that our citizens may be-

the Norwalk company electrifies us by
going through Westport, and connect-

' will soon be at our borders on the
Southport line. Electricity is doomed
tobe the power, lightiand heat of this
country,,and the sooner the citizens
realize the fact, the better it will be for
all concerned.—Westporter.
Wants A Divorce. ‘
Mrs.‘Turcott has sued her husband
Octave Turcott for divorce. Infidelity

ant is‘the well-known oyster grower
living in New Haven. Mrs. Turcott
claimes $15,000 alimony, and property
valued at $40,000 has been placed
under attachment. The case. is likely
to develop some spicy features. Turcott
will contest his wife’s suit.

THE SEA 0F.AZOF CYCLONE.
I ST. LOUIS, Aug. 28.—-A cable dispute
to The Globe-Democrat from St. Peters-
st‘ruction‘ and great loss or life by the cy-
clone that swept over the sea of Azof.
The wind was first felt gt Nogaisk, which
is _ inhabited mostly by fishermen, who
were out on the water. When the hunt-
bie scene was presented. The village was
overturned. as if an immense plow had
been pushed through it. Lying everywhere
were women and children, dead or dying.
The shallow waters of the sea of Azof
Were lashed to such a height that it was
plain that/every fishing boat must have
been sunk. ' '
The cyclone swept on to the northeast
after wrecking Nogaisk. 'Its path seems to
have been unusually wide, for at Mario-
pol it devastated the country to a‘ point 11
miles inland and had its outer edge far
upon the sea. Mariopol was practically
, blotted out of existence. Not three houses
in a hundred are left standing. It is estl‘
mated that more than 200 persons per-
ished in this town alone. ' North of Marl-
opol the storm seems to have made sud-
den turn to the eastward over Bolga
point, its left edge inflicting slight dam-
age to the town of Berdiansk. Houses
there were unroofed, and a dozen persons
were killed by falling timbers. '
. At sea the storm made its full fury felt-
Of the steamers that touch at this port
not onehad come in at the hour' of the
latest report. Grave fears are expressed
that every craft in the sea has gene: to the
bottom, and that every passenger is
drowned. ‘ ' ' -' ' ‘
When the wind swept 'over the the
northern end of Azof, , it took a new
course, going southerly along the coast of
the land of theBlack Cossack. Yeisk and
almost totally destroyed. Telegraphic com-
munication withtthls district is suspend-
ed, and it is impossible to learn the extent
of the destruction, buifiat least 1,000 per-
sons must have died 'on the two shores.
The storm, as nearly as can now'be
~learned, seems to have suddenly lest its
force near Temr‘uk and passed 03 with
comparative quiet southerly over the
Black sea. ' ‘
