A Bad Lot.
The revelation of wickedness in the
municipal government of New York
under the control of Tammany Hall is
a great shock to decent democrats and
republicans alike. “I have seen some-
thing of the world,” Carl Schurz told
a great assemblage of New York demo-
crats Monday night, “and I affirm that
in no civili'zed country—hardly in any
uncivilized-is there a government
which in foulness of corruption, in in-
satiable rapacity, in criminal practices,
in cruel oppression of the lowly, equals
Tammany rule.”
Hill in New York.
Senator Hill has been giving some
figures to show how he can be elected
Governor of New York. They strike
the unbiased mind as rather desperate.
He counts on from 8,000 to 12,000 mas
jority in Kings country, which does
not look at present as though it were
gomg to give him half of that. Then
he thinks New York will give .40,-
000. which is likely enough. But the
wonderful part of it is that he expects
”the enthusiasm of the up-State demo
crats” to reduce the Republican plur-'
alzty above the Harlem river to “30,000
or at most 35,000.” ‘
Of course, if anything like this should
happen Hill would be elected, but we
should say that if he kept Morton’s
plurality up the State under 70,000 he
would be doing well. and there does
not seem to be much chance of his get-
ting enOugh to offset that in New York
and Brooklyn. At least this is the view
of intelligent and candid democrats.

An ltallan Champion.
It is so much the fashion for politi—
cians, organized bodies of working-
meu and foreign immigrants of all
other nationalities to rail at the Italians
who sweep the streets, dig the cellars
and grade the new railways of this
country, that it must be something of
a surprise to the much derided “Da-
goesi” to learn that an intelligent cham-
pion of the race has risen from the
ranks of educated Americans of revo-
lutionary stock. Burnett Landreth, the
seed farm proprietor, who carries on a
business handed down through several
generations, has contributed a most in-
teresting article to the United Service
Magazine on Italian laborers, in whom
he finds much to commend, although
something to criticise.
Mr. Landreth speaks from experience,
having for the past ten years employed
a large number of Italian laborers on
his seed farms, a course to which he
was compelled by the desertion of his
Irish and American laborers. This ex-
perience leads him to the conclusion
that the Italian as a better or worse‘
digger is a necessity, as the Irish, Ger-
man, Scandinavian, English and Scotch
emigrants prefer and find their way in-
to other calling than those of farm la-
borer, street sweeper, railway grader,
cellar and ditch diggers. With the
choice to be made between the Italians
and the Poles, Hungarians and Slavs,
he prefers the Italians for this purpose,
for reasons which he gives somewhat in
dEtail.
The Italian’s good qualities as stated
by Mr. Landreth consist in a willing-
ness to work at anything he can do,
eagerness to please, docility and good
manners, little disposition to quarrel,
fight or get drunk, exceptional honesty
and an inextinguishable desire to save
money and establish himself in this
country. He combats the common be-
lief that the Italian always has a stiletto
up his sleeve. In ten years experience
he recalls no fight—mot even a bldody
nose—among his Italian laborers, and
says that previous to their employment
it was a dull day and something was
evidently wrong if at least one fight did
not occur among his farm hands. In
support of their honesty as a class he
says the tricks and ras'cality they prac-
tice are thought them by those who
abuse them after they seek employment
in this country.
there is another side to this picture,
‘of course, and Mr. Landreth is too in-
telligent a man not to have discovered
and noted the faults of the Italians he
defends from unjust aSpersions. The
notable deficiencies are want of relig-
ious training and impulse, want of
cleanliness, a disposition to herd in
crowded quarters and retain their lan-
guageand customs and to make mar-
riages for their children on commercial
considerations chiefly. In summing
up his essay on the Italians, the writer
thinks that further Italian immigration
should be discouraged until the six
hundred thousands already here have
become Americanized in language and
ambition, and predicts that the grand-
children of Italian parents will become
thoroughly Americanized and by. inter.
marriage with those of Saxon pedigee
develop a subtype of man and woman
one handsomest, most poetic, most
musical and artistic of any that have
preceded them.
Proud of Its Firemen.
N orwalk has voted at a city meeting,
to appropriate $4,000 for the purchase,
of a fire engine. This actionwas taken
because of the recent serious fires which ~
demonstrated the uselessness and ill-.2 .‘
capacity of the present fire depart-
ment.-——Bridgeport Farmer.
The fire department is all right and is
one of the best volunteer departments
in the State. The “‘utter uselessness”
is confined to a steamfire engine which
is to be replaced by a new one at an
early date. Norwalk is proud of its fire
department which fact was fully de-
monstrated at a recent city meeting in
which the vote was unanimous for the
purchase of a new steamer.

Halloween.
Last night was Halloween. A night
when, according to ancient Scottish
belief, the Brownies and other super-
natural forces m'anifested themselves at
the weird hour of midnight and per-
formed all kinds of witchery. in these
modern times those beliefs are only en-
tertained by the superstitious, and in
these parts the custom has dwindled
down to Halloween parties and the
raiding of gardens by the small _boy
who seems to consider that all things
left out that night belong exclusively
to him. ‘
There were several Halloween par-
ties in town and the “small boy” was
out in large numbers, and had a merry
time in shifting gates to new quarters
and out of the possession of owners.
This year their antics were modified
and the damage done by them was not
large. _
Hallow’een is the evening preceding
All Saints’ Day, one of the festival
days of the church calendar. In Eng-
land it was long customary to crack
nuts, duck for apples in a tub of water
and perform other harmless fireside
revelries. While the same thing can
be said of Scotland the Hallow’een cer-
emonies of that country partook more
of a superstitious character; taking,
among rustics, the form of a charm
that would determine who should be
his or her partner for life.
The lady teachers at Mrs. Mead’s
school got up an old time Halloween
party for the entertainment strictly, of
their scholars. Most of the pupils
appeared in costumes illustrating vari-
ous characters and sentiments. Miss
Cushman, teacher, acted the part _of
the witch and rehearsed ghostly stories
while cloaked and given a sepulchral
appearance by burning salt and alcohol.
The usual fun, games and dances of
such an occasion, were indulged in up
to a late hour, when a choice colic--
tion was served. Miss Fanny Wake-
man took the character of a French
peasant ; Jessie Collison, Astronomy ;
Amy Watkins, Autumn ; Bessie Smith,
Spring; Agnes Golden, Folly; Ger-
trude Brown of West Virginia, Moun-
tain Frosts; Marion Smith, May Ell-
wood and Elinor Osborn, Japanese;
Edith Nickerson, Helen Swartz and
Bertha Wakeman, Greeks; _Clara Belts
and Udetta Brown, Gypsies ; Emily
Jennings, Grace Byington and Miss
Bryan, Colonial dames; Edith Hunter,
Highland Mary ; Kitty Barbour, Moun-
taineeer; while Mrs. Mead and her
corps of talented teachers jomed in aid
of the rolicking festivities with apple
pareing, pumpkin lights, flowers, can-
dle jumping, etc., galore. Mr. Mead
valiantly acted the part of heroic fire-
man, and stood, hose in hand, ready to
extinguish any spontaneous or ignited
blaze of dress or draperies. Rev. Mr.
Watkins called for his young sister at a
late hour and, closely guarded, was
permitted to just “peek in” a moment
and see the hilarious frolic. All in all,
the young misses had a most enjoyable
time of it, and not marred by the pres-
ence of either dainty dudes or grosser
masculines.
AHalloween party was held at the
home of Miss Alice Cholwell on High
street, which was attended by about
twenty-five guests, and a delightfully
happy evening was spent. Erwin Jen-
nings wonfirst prize in the game of
“Commerce,” and Mrs. Cito Hatch
second. In‘ the game of “Senses” the
following prizes were awarded :
“Smell,” Dr. W. F. Acton ; “Touch,”
Miss Mabel Vanderhoef ; “Taste,”
Miss Agnes Gibbs ; “Sight,” Prof.
Harstrom ; Miss Alice Sherwood- cap-
tured the piece of cake containing the
ring, and it was ordained that the
bright and shining light, Clare cc Os-
born, in the spirit chase, was to “marry
a widow fair, fat and forty.” Afine
luncheon was served.
The ladies aid society gave a splen-
did Hallowecn entertainment at the
home of Mrs. E. O. Shipman, in Gran.
berry Plains, last evening. The
grounds and house were illuminated
with grostesque Jack-o-lanterns. The
programmes were neatly gotten up on
birch bark. The prize in “bobbing”
for the apples was won by Mrs. .E. S.
Taylor;aring hidden in a cake was
found by Mrs. Eben Gilbert. Among
the games were “Love List, ” “Hunt for
Kate,” “Fortunes,” “Nut Test,”
“Three Scenes,” “Winding the Yarn,”
and the “Workshop of the Fates,” the
latter bein a source of unlimited
pleasure. T eentertainment was fol-
lowed by dancing.
A very happy Hallow’een party was
held at the home of Mr. St. John Mer-
ill, on Newtown avenue, last evening.
Seasonable games were indulged in and
a fine luncheon served.
Edith May Church gave her little
friends a Halloween party at her home
on Orchard street last evening. Games
were indulged in and lots of sport had
in “bobbing” for apples.
That Fanning Mill. .
Some months since Francis P. Fillow
and Eben Gilbert, together, purchased
a fanning-mill. The other day George
13. Gregory borrowed the mill of Mr.
Fillow. Mr..Gilbert heard of the loan
and gOing to Gregory’s took the mill
home with him. Later, Gregory bought
Fillow’s interest in the machine, and
going to Gilbert demanded the use of
the mill.
to grant and the machine was replevied
by Sheriff Toner who was acting for
Gregory. This of course brought about
a civil suit which was set down for trial
before J ustiee Austin. Before the case
was called the matter was settled out of
courts, by Gilbert paying the costs,
amounting to about $14. The mill was
then sold at auction it being bid in by
Gregory for 327.5. The machine was
worth probably not more than ($0.- It

Wedding Presents.
“Bridal silver is no longer do riguer
for wedding presents,” is the latest an-
nouncement of fashion, and this-simple
sentence has caused more trouble than
one could imagine. One of the most
unhappy households is that of a certain
bride in a small town not far from Nor-
walk. This young lady looked like a
ghost at the wedding, and all her family
like herself, did not sleep a wink the
night before because of the dozens of
cut glass bowls and butter dishes that
kept coming in from their friends who
had read the announcement above.
And the worst of it all was that the cut
glass could not be exchanged, and'they
knew it couldn’t be. There were forty-
one cut glass butter dishes alone.

Wild Cats Plenty.
Alarge and ferocious wild cat was
captured in the Onion mountains, at
Canton, a few days ago, by Morris
Warner of East Hill. There are large
numbers of these animals in the woods
in that vicinity, and they are frequent-
ly seen by hunters, though they are not
often shot. It- is the opinion of some
persons here that the wild cats are re--
sponsible for the large losses of sheep.

‘hear that “Shore Acres” the great and
only true New England play, is to be
the attraction at the Norwalk Opera
House Wednesday Evening November
-7th under the direction of H. C. Minor
of the Fifth Ave. Theatre. The author
01 this play has succeeded in presenting
a series of true pictures of the daily life
of the New England farmer, and they
are so deftly limned, that all who see
them are charmed by» their truth to
nature. Without the slighest exagger-
ation, Mr. Herne carries his audience
with him to the rugged and rock bound
shores of Maine, and there he moves
them from tears to the laughter, with-
out ofi‘ending good taste or; breaking
any of the canons of dramatic art. The
emotion are expressed so unafl'ectedly
that even the most hardened patron of
the drama is made to forget that he is
witnessing a play.” No one can regret
seeing such a performance, and those
who attend the presentation of g‘Shore

were submitted. It was shown that the

matron. A fine luncheon was served,

BOSTON, Nov. ].-——A petition has been
sent to the statohouxc‘ awning that the
charter of the Children’s A iii society may
be revoked. The paper 21-...- .iruwn up in
behalf of Mrs. Lucy ill. Green of Worces-
ter, who says that the corporate rlghts
granted to tho society by the legislature
have been abused. Fred 1).. Johnson, a
special ofllcer of the Worcester police, pre—
sented the petition, and he is the man
Who has secured evidence in substantia-
tion of Mrs. Green’s statements.
The ground for the petition is that Mrs.
Green’s children were taken away from
her by alleged misrepresentation. Seven
years ago Mrs. Green was left a widow
with five children. The family was then
living in Worcester. Mrs. Green fell ill,
and during the following days of adver-
sity Mrs. Fogg, a missionary cf the Un-
ion church, came to the assistance of the
family, and after a time wished to take
two of the younger children, Paul and
Com, who specially pleased her, for the
purpose of giving them into the care of
the society until they could be educated.
Mrs. Green at first objected, but when
sheiwas. as she says, assured that the ar-
rangement wuld be only temporary she
consented. After she had signed a paper
releasing her children, temporarlly, as she
supposed, she found that she had perma—
nently signed away all right to them. Mrs.
Green says she signed the paper without
reading it orhavlng lt‘read, while the
regulations of the society expressly pro
vide that the agreement shall be read to
the person signing. ' Mrs. Green has
brought suit against thelsociety for $10,-
000.

by the rules from telling where the chil-
dren are, but they give assurances that
