Adjourn the Meeting.

evening City meeting to act on the
matter of building a new reservoir.’

New York’s Fresh Water River.
The volume of water that flows
through -New York city every day via
the new aqueduct is equal to a river a
hundred feet wide and three feet deep
running at the rate of a mile an hour.
If the full capacity of the aqueduct
were used it would represent a similar
river one hundred and sixty-five feet
wide. The report of the commission-
ers is the first in eight years and covers
the period in which the great aqueduct
from Croton Lake to Central Park was
completed. Few people realize the
quiet. persistent work that has been
done on this great undertaking.
Aside from the Mayor and Comp-
troller, who are members ‘ex-olficio, the
commission is composed of Gen. James
C. Duane, retired officer of the Engi-
nrer Corps, United States Army; Mr.
J. J. Tucker, practical builder; Mr.
Fr LHCIS M. Scott, lawyer, and Mr. H.
W. Cannon, bank president and busi-
ness man. This would seem to be a
pretty good combination of the various
talents necessary for the successful
prosecution of a great city’s public
we fer works.
Farming Tramps.
The chronic tramps and beggars have
become the despair of the charity or-
ganiZations in all our large cities.
They will not work when work is offered
them ;- they are always the first to pre-
sent themselves for aid when any sea-
son of unusual want occurs, thus ab-
sorbing‘alarge part of the contribu-
tionS designed for the really needy,
and in ordinary times they take their
chances of subsisting upon the bounty
of those who are more charitable than
judicious. If they get sent to jiil for
vagrancy they serve out their terms
and go back to the1r Old habits as soon
as they are free. This class is increas-
ing largely by recruits from the city
slums, and will continue to increase
until some way is devised and put into
general practice that will give them
the option of work or starvation.
Fifteen of the charitable organiza-
tions of New York have been engaged
in the formulation of a plan to make
these lazy vagabonds selfisupporting or
compel them to tram-p and beg else-
where. Their plan‘ involves the pur.
chase of a farm, to which the vagrants
can be committed and the enactment of
a law granting the power to commit,
the term to be an elastic one, capable
of extension'until a. permanent cure of
the begging habit has been effected.
'I'hese societies, whose officers consti-
tute the Conference Of Charities of the
city of New York, after long ex-
perience and much deliberation, pro
pose this plan as the only feasible one
ofelearing the ground of the profes-
sional begging class in order that the
worthy poor may be properly provided
for. ,
Assuming that this plan be carried
out its first effect will be to cause. a
wholesale emigration of the chronic
vagubonds from New York. They will
try begging and tramping in other
States and cities rather than earning
their living by honest work on a charity
farmer any other. Some of them, at
least, might have owned farms of their
own if they had been willing to work,
and they will not forsake the idle hab-
its of a life time until every city refuses
to be a beggar’s paradise.
she prospect that the Conference. of
Charities of the city of New York may
have a farm on their hands which they
will have to cultivate themselves should
not deter them from trying the experi-
ment. Not-walk has tramps enough
now, and is not longing for a whole-
Sale irruption of New York tramps, but
if a charity farm in New York proves a
terror to thc non-working fraternity
perhaps a charity farm here would send
the tramps away from us. The value
of the plan can be determined by the
experienca of one city as well as by
that of a dozen, and if found to be suc-
cessful New York th1 ltavo no exclu?
sive patent upon its application. All
cities and sections Will have to adopt it
in self-defense, and the tramps mil thus
eventually be compelled to work or get
ofl the earth.

A Parent’s Protest. .1
EDITOR Gaznrrnz—In regard» to a
piece I saw in Saturday’s GAZETTE, I
would'say I am. in sympathy with the
writer. I havetwo little girls who at-
tend the Franklinhtreet school. I don’t
cons1der them any better than any,
body else’s children, but they are hu-
man beings just the same, and of
course I expect them to be treated as
such. They have made several com-
plaints to me of slate, as to the way
they have been treated in school. The
oldest came home the other day Sick,
just on account of the teacher-not letting
ner leave the school room, and I was
compelled to keep her from school one
half of a day. If they are absent or
tardy, they are required to bring a
written excuse. As I understand, they
are not allowed to leave the school room
during school hours; only at recess,
which is limited to 15 minutes, not giv'
ing so large number of_ chlldren, time
to use the f’oilet, and 1f by necessity
compelled to leave the school room,
they must have theirname signed to a
note and taken or sent to Mr. Foote. I
think these rules are a little too unrea-
sonable, and should be looked unto by
our board of School Visitors. If my
children are unrully, of course I expect
them to be reasonably punished, but I
do not see what good reason a teacher
can have to keep a child in school when
it becomes, as it often does with child-
ren, a’physical necessity for them to go
out a few moments.

Ex-Prisoners of War.
At the meeting of ex-prisonors of
war, last evening, a larger number re-
sponded to the call than had been antic:-
pated, owing to circumstances that nec-
essarily kept some of the most promin-
ent away. _ _ _
The meeting was quite enthusiastic
and ready for enrollment. It was con-
fidently reported that at least twenty-
five ex-prisoners of war reside in the
town of Norwalk alone, besides others
residing in adjoining towns within the
radius of a few miles, making Nul'Walk
a conveniént centre for the establish-
ment of a camp Of ex prisoners of the
late war, under the auspices of the.
State organization. N othtng, however,
was done towards effecting such an
object, feeling that a more extended
notice should be given that all might
have an opportunity to express an
opinion, and take a united step in the
matter. '
The meeting was therefore adjourned
for one week, and each present to con-
stitute a committee to invite and en-
courage othcrs to be present at the ad-
journed meeting, to be holden on
Tuesday evening. January 22, 1895. at
the office of F W. Perry, GAZETTE
building, Norwalk.

‘ Recent Deaths-
John Taylor died last night at his
home, No. 188 Main street, in the 80th
year of his age. He suffered two par-

Caused a Laugh.
Says the Hartford Post: The first
evidence of the super—abundance of wit
to the House was furnished when Mr.
Keeler of Norwalk introduced a bill.
When the speaker tried to.read it he
couldn’t. Then the clerk tried it and
he couldn’t. The speaker suggested
that as Mr. Gunn of Milford had called
for the reading of the bill he might be
able to read it.
Mr. Gunn said he was unwilling to
try anything in which the speaker had
failed. Speaker Fessenden gracefully
acknowledged the delicate compliment.
Mr. Keeler brought- forth another
laugh by saying that the bill was writ.
ten by a lawyer. Meanwhile the clerk
had been studying the hieroglyphics
and had not Opened his mouth. Judge
Elmer moved that further reading be
dispensed with, which, made the mem-
bers shout with laughter.
Doctors vs. Druuzlsts.
It is understood that the medical fra-
ternity of the state will endeavor to
amend the act echoertting the practice
of medicine, surgery and midwifery,
during the present session of the gen-
eral assembly. Their plan is to prevent
druggists from prescribtng and giving
medicme to a customer unless a pre-
scription is first presented.
According to a New Haven paper,
preparations are being quietly ‘but
thoroughly made by druggtsts in that
city and all over the state to oppose any
movement made by the physicians to
rmend the medical practice act in such
a way as to deprive them of any of the
priVileges they now enjoy. The medi-
cal men know it, and they, too, are get-
ting ready for a big fight, and they
hope and expect to come out winners.

Opposed to Renting Armories.
Q. M. General Harbison’s report sug-
gests that the location and construction
of the state arsenalsis radically wrong.
due probably to the insufficient amounts
used in establishing them. Stale ar-
mories should be not only the head-
quarters for the militia, but they should
also be buildings so placed and con-
arructed that they would be strong
places of defense in case of neces-
sity. There IS not an armory in
the slate that meets this requirement.
-Vhen compared with those of neigh-
ooring states they do not appear timbr-
able. ' lie opposes the renting of armo-
nes and suggests that every officer in
charge of an armory be allowed $55) a
, year compensation.

Edison Tens“ oftthem Possibilities or- the
5 Kinetoscppe. _’ 'j ' . g
In no country in Ill“ world. .is a man of
genius in any direction more honored or
appreciated than in America. It could
hardly be otherwise. since the people are
not only intelligent and thoughtful, but
personally interested in questions relat-
ing to‘public life and policy, and to those
improvements which add a convenience
to business Or a comfort to a. home.
Wliatft’teéhange has come over the face
of the earth since the telegraph gave us
instant communication with all parts of
the worldl -: What would the man of bus-
iness say if by some sudden catastrophe
all the cable lines beneath the ocean
should be destroyed and he were compel.
led to wait anywhere from fourteen to
sixteen days while his letter is going to
London and the answer is coming back?
At the present moment he sends his cable
message, lights a. cigar, reads his morn-
ing- paper, and by the time the last
puff of smoke has disappeared he gets his t '-
answer.
And What a change in all the affairs of
life the telephone has. effected! To the
business of the country it :has been an
addition too valuable. to_ be computed.
We did get on somehow without it, be-
fore we~~knew such a thing ,was possible,
but we certainly could not get on without ‘
it now that we have become accustomed
to the advantage it offers. .
As to the ' kinetoscope ' and-its. possible
combination with other instruments, Mr.
Edison;says:~ . '. - . _ 2 i
In the year'1887 , the idea occured to me
that it was possible to devise'an instru—
ment which should do for the eye what
the phonograph does, for the ear, and
by a combination of the two all motion
and sound 'could be recorded and repro-
duced simultaneously. This idea, the
germ .of which came from the little toy
called the zoetrope, and the work of thy—
bridge, Marco and others, has now been
accomplished, so that every change of
facial expression can be recorded and re
produced life size. The kinetoscope is
only a small model, illustrating the pre‘
sent stage of progress, but with each
succeeding month new possibilities are
brought into view.
I believe that in coming years, by my
own work and that of Dickson, Muy«
bridge, Maree and others who \vill'doubt-
less enter the field, grand opera can be.
given at the Metropolitan Opera. House
of NewYork without any material change
from the original, and with artists and
musicians long since dead.”
That is at least very" interesting. It is
a dream worth dreaming, and we will
have to be satisfied with the music of the
spheres while our grandchildren will
listen to the phantom artists and the
phantom music of our day.
Is the time coming when steam will be
supplanted by electricity, when we shall
either take balloon trips from Atlantic to
Pacific, or fast-en on a pair of wings and
spend the hot summer days astride a.
cloud, when the horse will have become
as scarce as the buffaloes are, and when—-
but it tires the imagination. \Ve shall
simply have a. new heavens and a. new
earth, and such men as Edison will have
the credit of inaugurating the era of
magic. ' '
DEATH THAT IS NOT REAL.
The Liability of 'Physiclans to Err, Cong
cerning It.
’ “Except' where a surgical operation is '
performed? the only absolute sign of.
death is the decomposition of the body,”
said a physician during a conversation
on the_proposed_ method of reviving
criminals who have suffered in the elec-
tric chair. ‘
“I have had cases of apparent death in
my practice. An urgent message from
the physician in charge called me one
night to a young ladies’ seminary in New
York city. As I ascended the stairs to
the patient’s room I was met by the
housekeeper, who, between her sobs,
could only say:
“ ‘It is too late, doctoryshe is dead.’
“ I went up to the room, nevertheless.
There upon the bed lay a. young girl of
obout 18. Her face bore the mask of
death.
“ ‘I am sorry to have troubled you at
this hour,’ the doctor said. ‘The heart
stopped beating about five minutes ago.’
“I bent over and listened at the chest;
no respiration, no beating of the heart
was to be heard. While I listened some
one said: .
“ ‘I always thought she would go off
in one of these attacks.’ ‘
“These words were a revelation to me,
and I hastily threw off my coat and be
gau artificial respiration, Little by lit-
tle there was a change of expression in
the. face; the features relaxed, the eyes
appeared less sunken, the face became
flushed, the eyelids moved, and after a
full hour of constant work the life of
youth returned. The girl had had an
attack of grave hysteria. She is now
married and the mother of three hand-
some children.
“Do I think that people are Often
buried alive? Yes, I do; perhaps oftener
than we imagine. Life may [exist with-
out being evident; but non-evidence of
life is not proof of death. If ever we
are able to discover the moment when
death substitutes itself certainly for life,
we shall have solved a. problem which
has occupied the philosophers of all
times and all countries.
“One of my professional friends tells
me of a providential escape from prema‘
ture burial which occurred in his prac-
tice. '
"‘ ‘I attended a little girl of three,’ he
says, ‘up to the time when in. my own
judgment and that of the parents and
all‘present the'child was dead. Being
assured 'of this, I went home; but two
Lhours later, in the evening, I returned to
the house, being concerned about the
.mother, to whom the death of the child‘
had been a great blow. The father was
busy writing,’informing friends of their
loss._ On leaving the room where the
parents were, I paswd in front of the
little one’s bed. My look tell, for an in-
stant upon the little face, when I thought
that" I noticed an almost imperceptible
m6vement of the sheet that covered the
body. , _ ' "
