Q.

 

 

The Food Fish Supply.

The good fortune that has decreed
that'the present rise in beef and other
meat products should fall athwart the
shed seasOn, while shad are plenty and
selling at reasonable prices, should not
be rendered nugatory so far as the
people of this Commonwealth are con-
cerned by legislation designed to des-
troy the shad and other valuable food
fishes of the State. Fish are among
the best food at any time and under
any conditions, and their value is
greatly increased when as at present
they can take the place of high-priced
meats.

The present situation in the meat sup-
ply should teach us never before the
value of legislation for the protection
and propagation of fish. No food ar-
ticle can be propagated and increased
so rapidly as fish, if properly protected,
andtheir element, the water, is one
which is useless for the cultivation of
other forms of food. Better still, the
large streams and lakes are public
property and if prolific in fish the com-
mon people secure the benefit without
the possibility of exclusion. It Is only
necessary that the fishing shall be in-
telligently controlled so that it may not
prove destructive to the fish.

In short the principle of the greatest
good to the greatest number is as appli-
cable in lhis matter of fish protection
and propagation as in anything else,
and the fish legislation of any state
should be in the direction of protection
and not of destruction. It is in the
public interest that fish shall be plenti-
ful and cheap at all times; it is doubly
important in seasons of meat famine
like the present. To be provided against
just such emergencies it is essential that
the policy of the state toward the fish—
cry interests should beone of continu-
ous and consistent protection.

Protection of the shad, bass, pike,
perch and other valuable food fish!
and the existence of destructive fish
baskets in the principal streams are
incompatible and there should be no
repeal of existing restrictions against
these destructive fish traps. The hands
of the Fish Commissioners should be
further strengthened by legislation
which will rend'oi' the removal of illegal

fish baskets possble and the propaga4
tion and distribution of young fish en- _

couraged to the fullest possible extent.

 

 

Wheat Prospects.

European wheat prospects are any-
thing but encouraging this year, a con-
dition of much importance to Ameri-
can wheat-growers. The area under
wheat and rye in Russia is 30 per cent.

ass than last year; England, Scotland

and France are severe suffers from the
winter, and Hungary and Roumania
are in similar trouble.

The Department of Agriculture
sends out this statement, and the report
shows further that European nations
are imposing wheat duties that fall
heavily on the consumer while protect-
ing the grower for a product his acres
fail to return in anything like sufficient
quantity to meet the demand.

France imposes a duty of 36 cents a
bushel, Italy one of 37 cents, Germany
33 tussia has wheat
in sell, and does not fear the importa—
tion of grain, but protects its flour
minufacturers with a duty of 33 cents.
The heaviest wheat duty is that of
Spain, which country collects 55 cents
a bushel, the present selling price of
American wheat; but Spain must buy
18,000,000 bushels annually, as the home
gsain growers are just that much de-
fiiient in their harvests.

American grain growers have the
European markets before them this
year in a way they can derivea wealth
of advantage from notwithstanding the
heavy duties

Lewleoro Parish Property.

Rev. C. M. Selleck recently met by
invitation, a delegation representing a
Chapter of the Cathedral of the Dio-
cese of New York and escorted them
to Lewisboro to inspect the Parish
property there. The delegation headed
by the Arch-deacon of Westchester was
greatly pleased with the situation of
this estate and at a business meeting
held in New York city yesterday, it was
decided under the sanction of Bishop
Potter to lease the same, for the estab-
lishment, it is understood, of a Chil-
dren’s Home. Mr. Selleck has the mat-
ter in charge and should the permanent
establishment of the institution in Lew-
ilsboro be the final result, as nowexpect-
ed, the many years of devoted service
of the Norwalk rector there, will have
proved to result in a most beneficent
benefaction.

Hymeneal.

This afternoon, at 5:30 o’clock, there
will occur an event in the lives of two
persons that will probably never be for-
gotten by them. At that hour, and at
the residence of Mrs. Emma Muckridge
on: Merwin street, two persons will
plight their truth, for weal or woe.
They are Miss Grace Mortimer of
Brooklyn, and Mr. George E. Merrill
of Boston, and the marital knot is to be
tied by Rev. F. E. Robbins of the Bap-
tist church. Miss Louise Hoyt of
Brooklyn will. be the bridesmaid, and
Mr. Carlson Of Boston, Mr. Merrill’s
best man. Only the immediated friends
and relatives of the contracting couple
will be present. The ceremony will be
followed by an elegant wedding feast.
Mr. and Mrs. Merrill, to be, will reside
in Boston.

Montreal to San Francisco, where on
May 2d they propose taking the steam-
er,“A1manda” for Honolulu. On his re-
turn Mr. Hill will in company with his
wife make a trip to Europe. Certain it
is that Honolulu will have representa—
tive American and Norwalk citizens
within its environments for a season—
if the Almanda does not sink.

 

What Norwalk Needs.

Forty Connecticut towns and cities
had been provided with library build-
ings up to the close of the school year
of .1894, some of them expensive, fire-
proof structures. Of_ these 34 have

three by subscription and tw0 by
ladies’ societies. Five of these, among
them some of the most expensive, were
built by individual ladies.

Unlon Manufacturing Company.

The statement published by the local
dailies that the Union Manufacturing
company had been sold to Mr. W. H.
Olmstead fora syndicate, is incorrect.
Mr. Olmstead bought the prOperty for
Mr. W. F. Bishop, personally, and no
'syndicate was‘interested in the sale.
It is understood that Mr. Bishop pro-
poses to set the long idle wheels hum-
ming as soon as possible.

Tobacco Sale at Failure.

Miss mm MARRIED.

'AE'VI’ashlugton the American Beauty- Bo;-

came Mrs. George N. Curzon. n
WASHINGTON, April 23.—-The wedding
of Hon. George Nathaniel Curzon, M. P.,
and Miss Mary Leiter was celebrated at St.
John’s Episcopal church today amid scenes
of such brilliancy and in the presence of
such a distinguished assemblage of cabinet
oflicers, diplomats, governors and bishops
as to give the event the character of a
public ceremony. The Wedding has been
long anticipated, as it marked another in-
ternational union, Mr. Curzon being a.
Conservative member of the house of com-
mons. formerly under secretary for India
under the Salisbury ministry and the suc-
cessor to his father’s title of Lord Scars'

dale, while Miss Leiter has been counted
among the beauties of the national capital
and is a typical American girl. While men‘-
tion of the great wealth on the Leiter side
of the alliance has been distasteful to the
family it has none the less shaped public
interest in the nuptials and has made the
sumptuous Leiter establishment and its
foreign guests a center of interest for say.
oral days.

Long before the hour for the ceremony a
curious crowd surrounded St. J Ohn’s
church, which is on Lafayette square, im-
mediately fronting the White House. Ad-
mission tO the little edifice was restricted
to those holding cards, but the many. out-
side wore anxious to get a glimpse of the
interior or of the bridal party as it passed
from the carriages.

The interiOr of the church was literally
transformed into a garden for the occasion.

Mrs. Cleveland arrived shortly ahead of
the bridal party and Was given a seat in
the forward part of the church, near the
pews reserved for the immediate relatives.

The president did not appear, salt is an
unwritten law that the executive does not
attend private social events.

The diplomatic corps was strongly repre-
sented. Special interest attached to: the
presence of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, accompanied by Lady
Pauncefote and the extensive suit _of the
British embassy. 'as they were representa-
tive of the nationality of the groom.

The ceremony was performed by Bishop
Talbot and Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smlth.
