The Klein Case.

The case of Bertha Klein, the ten
year old girl who was committed to the
Industrial school at Middletown,
Thursday, should fully convince every
citizen and tax payer that Norwalk is
badly in need of a town court, and the
sooner we have. it the better.

T he girl was tried twice, convicted
twice, before two different justices,
and the town will be called upon to pay
two difi‘erent bills of expense.

The action of Judge Keeler in ar-
resting and committing the girl at
night, naturally leads to the impression
that he had knowledge of her intended
arrestu ext day and desired to get in
ahead. His acts as aJustice of the Peace
have Leen severely criticised prior to
this transaction, and the Klein case
will probably leave him open to further
criticism.

Whether Justice Keeler had knowl-
edge of the intended arrest of Bertha
next day is unknown, but it is safe to
say that Constable Hunt is above sus-
picion in the matter and simply did his
duty as an officer of the law and no cen-
sure can be laid upon him for the two
bills of expense against the town.

This case IS but one of many that
have Occurred in Norwalk during the
regime of the rotten Justice of the Peace
system, and it is to be hoped that the
day will soon come when the tax—payers
of Norwalk will be freed from such a
disgraceful state'of affairs, and have a
tawn courtto preside over all cases.

Seymour Defended.

The able and independent Springfield
Republican, thus defends U. S. Patent
Commissioner Seymour’s recent action;

“l‘he burden of the complaints
against the commissioner of patents
which patent attorneys are said to be
making, is that it is less easy to get a
patent than formerly, and more difficult
to prolong the life of an application by
jugglingwith interferences and appeals.
One count in the attorneys’ indictment
against Commissioner Seymour, as set
forth in the Washington Star, is that
2191 fewer applications were granted
last year than in 1893. In 1893 23,058
patents were granted, while in 1894,
with practically the same number of
applications, only 20,867 were issued.
This reduction in number of patents
issued is probably only a misfortune
from the itttorneys’ point of view. It
out offtheir fees, but it is doubtful if
either the inventors or the public were
wronged. The laxity with which ex-
aminations of claims have been made
in years past has been notorious, and
patents have been granted in large
numbers which would not stand the
test of an appeal to the courts for a
moment. If Commissioner Seymour
has put a step to this looseness of pat-
ent-office practice he deserves the
praise of public and inventors, for it is
no kindness to the latter to give them
a worthless patent or one of doubtful
value. The stricter the examinations
of applications and claims the better,
and the more thoroughly the sifting
process is applied the more a patent
will be w01 th when granted.”

The nominating committee of the
Norwalk Y. M. C. A. met last evening
and selected tie following list of offi-
cers, to be voted for at the annual
meeting of the association on Monday,
April 8th.: A. B. Hill, president; Ira
Che, Ste; hen H. Holmes. William E.
Montgomery and Robert G. Hanford,
vice-presidents; Charles L. Miller,
treasurer; Victor S. Selleck, recording

quarters of the association expires on
the first of April. The owner Mr. F.
St. John Lockwood had asked for an
increase in the amount for rent, and
the association had thought aseriously
of moving, but the managers have suc-
ceeded in making satisfactory terms
with Mr. Lockwoad and will continue

A Peculiar Case.
The case of State vs. Bertha Klein,tb_e_
ten year old girl who was committed to
the Middletown Industrial school,
Thursday, is a most peculiar one.

The girl was tried twice. convicted

twice, before two different justices, and
the town is called upon to pay two dif-
ferent bills of cost.
Nearly six months ago complaint was
made to Selectmen Raymond of the in-
corrigibillty of the girl and Mr. Ray-
mond referred the complainant to Jus-
tice Geo. D. Keeler-,of South Norwalk.
Nothing, however, was ever done in
the matter although it is said Selectman
Raymond personally interested him-
self in the case. In December came
the celebrated case of the Chinaman,
Charley Hang, in which Justice Keeler
played so conspicuous a part.

Kong was acquitted by the Grand
Juror who signed the complaint with-
drawing the charge after making an
investigation, yet nothing was then
done towards committing the girl to
the Industrial school. As Justice
Keeler took no steps in the matter Mrs.
Klein and Mrs. Samuel Hopkins, of
East Norwalk, made complaint to At-
torney Joseph Taylor, who at once
made out a warrant and had it signed
by Grand Juror Charles F. Hallock.
The papers were served by Constable
Ireland and on Thursday morning
Bertha was brought before Justice A.
W. Smith and committed to the Mid-
dletown Industrial school.

After her commitment it was stated
that Judge Keeler, in company with
Constable Thomas Hunt, had gone to
Mrs. Klein’s home in East Norwalk at
seven o’clock Wednesday night and
arrested Bertha, and as is stated, after
appointing Mrs. Klein, who had made
the charge, her guardian to plead for
her, commtted her to the Industrial
school. Bertha was then remanded to
Mrs. Klein’s custody until Thursday
morning when Constable Hunt expect-
ed to call for her. -

Mrs. Klein, who is a Hungarian and
does not fully understand English, did
not kndw what Justice Keeler had done,
consequently she appeared with Bertha
next morning before Justice Smith as
instructed. -

Justice Smith had no knowledge of
the night arrest and commitment of
Bertha by Judge Keeler and when her
guardian, appointed at the hearing,
pleaded guilty, he committed her to the
Industrial school, where she was taken
by Constable Ireland.

When Constable Hunt Went after
Bertha Thursday morning he learned
that she had been taken before Justice
Smith and again committed and was in
the custody of Constable Ireland. He
reported the facts and on Friday morn-
ing Justice Keeler came to this city and
presented his bill of costs to Treasurer
William A. Curtis. Keeler received
$2; Joseph A. Gray, 32,30, and Consta-
ble Hunt, $2,30.

Of course Justice Smith will present
his bill of costs and the town will be
obliged to pay it, thus making two bills
of expense to the tax-payers.

Nlneteen Years Old.

Editor Jones’ West-poitir was nine-
teen years old this week. That it has
improved with age no one who saw Vol.
1, No. 1, of that paper, can conscien-
tiously deny. Editor Jones gives a re'
some of his experiences while at the
helm of the sturdy little craft, which
we regret we have not space to publish
in full as it gives a concise and interest-
ing statement cf what one may expect
when he launches his brains and capital
in the whirlwind of newspaperdom.
The editor says:

In the first place, the publisher, edit—
or, compositor, pressman and devil was
one and the same person. One month
previous to the first issue we had never
set anewspaper type. Our press was an
amateur, the impression being made
bya lever which was worked by the
foot, while the form was inked bya
hand roller, at each impression. The
work was done in a room just five feet
square, which contained our entire out-
fit, consisting of press, case stand, three
or four small fonts of type, imposing
stone 12x16 inches, and wheua table
was needed to write upon, we were
compelled to go to an adjoining room.

The work on our first number, was
done in intervals snatched from weary
watching by a sick bed, and hours that
should have been devoted to sleep. * *
Our office is now equipped with one
cylinder and three job presses, paper
and card cutters, together with a rea-
sonable assortment of type, of the lat-
est style of faces.”

MET DEATH TOGETHE
A Heroic Mother Burnelehfle Trying to
’ ' ‘-»§:Save’Her Daughter’s Life. ’ ':

NORTHPOBT, N. Y., March 30.-—A fatal
fire occurred here today. The two burned
persons were mother and daughter. The,
mother was the first to discover the fire
and got out of. the building safely, but in
attempting to save her daughter was
burned with her.

The fire broke out in the residence of
Israel Higbie, a wealthy farmer. He lived
there with his wife, his daughter, Mrs.
William Reeves, and her 14-year-old
daughter Hattie.

Mrs. Reeves was awakened by the smell
of smoke and went down stairs. She dis-
covered the building was ablaze and ran
across the street to a neighbor for help.
Then, realizing that her mother, father
and child were in the burning building,
she hastened back to give them assistance.
She first went to the bedroom where her
mother and father were asleep and suc-
ceeded in getting them from the building.

Then for the first time she found her
daughter Hattie was not yet out and dash-
ed back to save her. That was the last
seen of her or Hattie until their charred
remains Were discovered aft-er the fire had
been extinguished. The volunteer firemen
succeeded in putting out the flames after a
damage of about 85.000 had been done.

The supposition is that Hattie was suf-
focated by smoke and was dead before the
flames reached her, and that Mrs. Reeves
was also suffocated. The body of Mrs.
Reeves was found close by that of her
daughter.

When the aged parents were informed of
the fate that had ovei taken their daughter
and granddaughter, they were overcome
with grief. The bodies of the dead persons
were removed to an undertaking establish-
ment.

Mrs. Higbio and her husband are now
in the house of a neighbor. The fire is be-
lieved to have been caused by a. defective
flue.

The coroner summoned a jury and will
hold an inquest.

WAR IS IN THE AIR.

The Relations Between Grout Britain and
France Appear to fibrained.

LONDON, March 30.—Commenting upon
the present strained aspect of the Anglo-
Frcnch situation in Africa, The Globe
says: “England can safely call upon the
world to judge whether she' should face
France’s deliberate provocations in Africa
and Siam, or whether it would become the
dignity of a great; nation to turn the other
cheek to the smitcr any longer.”

The Pall Mall Gazette says that ‘ ‘France
has been warned since last evening that
she has not a shred of pretensethat she
does not know that her advance into the
Nile valley would be regarded by England
as an act of open and avowed hostility.”

The Star says: “We deeply mistrust the
statement of Sir Edward Greyin the house
of commons last evening, which was a
latent menace to France, first, because it
is the fruit of a. new spirit which has un-
happily crept into the Liberal foreign pol-
icy, and, second, because we are aghast at
the magnitude of the claims to which we
are hereby committed.” ‘

Sir Edward Grey’s remarks in the house
of commons last night produced a dis-
quieting effect on the Stock Exchange this
morning. . .

French rcntes fell one-half and console
and Egyptians, unified, one-half.

 

 

Brewery andDwelling Burned.

BALTIMORE, March 30,—A special from
Cumberland, Md, says: The Washington
brewery, owned by Paul Bitter, was de-
stroyed by fire today. Mr. Ritter‘s dwell-
ing adjoining the brewery was also burn-
ed. Thc loss is about $25,000.

Beef Cattle In Demand.

HURON, S. D., March 30.—Reports from
ranches along the Missouri river and in
the Sioux Indian reservation say Chicago,
St. Paul and Omaha. stock dealers are in-
quiring for beef cattle at advanced prices.

Assistant Secretary Hamlin Better. '

WASHINGTON, March lid—Assistant Sec-
retary Hamlin, who has been indisposed
for several days, has resumed his duties
and in the absence of Secretary Carlisle

Home Again.

George H. Bartlett and his son Wil-
liam went down the harbor in a boat on
Thursday, and as they did not return
that day it was feared that their boat
had been swamped by the rough sea
that prevailed and they had been
drowned. They arrived home safe and
sound yesterday afternoon. Being un-
able to return home on Thursday, they
sought shelter on Nauvoo island, the
water being too rough to permit their
coming home until yesterday.

HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.

A host- of play-goers will welcome
with pleasure the return of “Prince
Pro Tem” to Hoyt’s Opera House, Mon-
day evening. The inimitable Tommy
Tompkins of Fred Lennox has won
golden opinions and it is one of the
most interesting and comical figures
on the comic opera stage to-day. 'Iomp-
kins, hailing from New Jersey, is travel-
ing abroad collecting freaks for exhibi-
tion. He walks, with a gentle undulat.
ing swagger and in every move and
every smile—for he never laughs, he
only smiles—he displays his chief char-
acteristic—a masculine conceit attain—
ing to the loftiuess of sublimity. Leu-
nox has an odd vowe. It is not so bad,
because it never breaks, and never
rasps, and has fair range; tut one
somehow feels that it is a comedy voice,
and the singer heightens the effect with
throwing burlesque into the using of
it. Mr. Lennox has made a. distinct
comedy creation and it will be interest-
ing to watch what he does next and
how he does it. ' -

uor’r’s OPERA HOUSE.

No stronger test of an artist’s ability
can be applied to a member of Mr.
Under-bill’s profession than is afforded
in that gentleman’s presentation of
Sheridan’s “Rivals.” There is no con-
fusion of characters; Mrs. Malaprop is
always the same as to voiceand manner,
as much as in the-wrong use of big
words for which she is famous; and this
is true of all other characters. Sir
Anthony is generally the hit of the
evening, and it is a grand performance
from beginning to end. At Hoyt’s
Opera House next Tuesday night.

But it is as an inventor that he has
won his national reputation. Several
most useful and important inventions
were made by him before he produced
the Williams typewriter, a. machine that
probably excels all others in the most
important features.

Mr. Williams, speaking of the labor
expended in bringing the machine that
bears his name to its present perfection,
says:

“Some four years ago, when engaged
in experimental work on the Williams’,
I was putting in about 16 hours per
day of hard work and worry, and came
near breaking down. Although very
particular and regular in my habits
and careful about eating. my stomach
troubled me. It was difficult to eat,
and more difficult to digest and assimi-
late my food, my stomach acting in
sympathy with an overoworked brain.
