Legislatlve Request “to the Daugh-
ters of Illinois.”

The people of Illinois, irrespective of
parties, race, color, or previous condi-
tion, are imploring their Legislature to
bring its session to a close at once.
Their anxiety reminds one of the im-
pulsive energy with which Mrs. Mac-
beth affected a sudden and premature
adjournment of adinner party. Nat-
urally the people of the United States,
or such of them, at least, as reside out-
side of the territorial limits of Illinois,
are inclined to sympathize with their

. fellow citizens of that State, for most of
them have, at various times, been
afflicted in like manner. Many Legis-
latures have worn out the patience of
their contituents by needlessly long
sessions: and by meddling with every-
body’s business. Other Legislatures
have had even longer sessions than any
that have been held in Illinois.

But right there comparison must
halt, for no legislative body in this or
any other country has approached that
of Illinois in the comprehensive thor-
. oughness of its quest for matters on
‘ which to bestow attention. It has ran-
sacked the State from end to end to
discover financial, 'Usocial,
moral and domestic ills, and has been
ready to apply-a remedy to each, any
or all, from its exhaustless stock of

One of the wisest

, political, -

remedial agencies.
and most affluently equipped of all the
statesmen at Sprinfield is Legislator
McCarthy, and the special line Of work

which he effects is in the department"

of sociology. He is not so vain or am'
bitious as to attempt any Spreading of
himself over the entire sociological
field. He leaves the fathers, mothers,
and sons of the commonwealth to other
reformers, or to the devices and desires
of their own hearts, and ’ faithfully
reaches out over the prairies to rescue
“the daughters of Illinois,” or those of
them who are not yet disposed of in
marriage. Certain recent events in the
fashionable world—especially one that
happened in New York—have alarmed
Legislator McCarthy, and he has made
up his legislative mind to
repetitions.
duced in the House the following reso-
lution:

“Resolved, That the members of the
XXXIXth General Assembly of Illi-
nois to hereby request the daughters of
Illinois not to accept the hand in mar-
riage of any person who is not a citizen
of the United States byright of birth
or naturalization, as we are of the
Opinion that the daughters of Illinois
should be patriotic in their views and
should disregard the title of any for-
eigner and marry none but a citizen of
the United States.”

It will be observed that the resolu-
tion is not mandatory. For some inex«
plicable reason Legislator McCarthy
has not undertaken to compel “the
daughters of Illinois,” by main strength
and awkwardness, or by pains.and pen-
cities, to “marryfinone butia citizen of
the States.” His resolution does not
declare that they shall or shall not do

' or leave undone any Specific act or acts,
but contents itself with “do hereby re-
quest.” Such modesty and modera-
tion are exceptional in “the Thirty-
niuth General Assembly of. Illinois.”

Supposing this resolution passes both'

houses as it probably wi ‘1, the question
arises, will the girls pay heed to such
admonition? It is well known that the
maidens of that state. as well as of
other states, are not too much inclined
to accept fraternal or maternal advice
in regard to marriage. Will the “rc~
quest” of the Thirty-ninth General
Assembly be more potential than the
counsel of 1"athe1s and mothers? We
shall- HOT undertake to answer these

to Legislator McCarthy that, 2 if the
General Assembly will i'undertake to
furnish each of “the daughters of Illi-
nois” with an acceptable American
partner it will do just what it is in
honor bound to do if it proposes to
I limit their field of eclectic-.11.

3 A Receiver Denled.

J udge Robinson of the Superior
court handed down a decision Satur-
day, in the case of the Leos Mfg. 00.,
of Westport, on the motion to dismiss
the application for the appointment of
a receiver, made by the minority stock-
The case has been on hear-
ing before the court for several days
past. The court denies the motion and
the receiver will not be appointed.

 

. The Branohvllle Mystery.

The Branchville drowning mystery
has been cleared up. It was caused by
a loud splash in the water followed by
cries'for help, in the river between
Branchville and Georgetown. The river
was dragged severaltimos but no body
was found. It. now transpires that
Albert Batterson threw a large stone
in the river and then shouted for help
to frighten a party of fishermen. The
joke worked more successfully than the
instiagtor anticipated.

Traln Wreckers Folled.

An attempt was made last night to
wreck the west bound express train on
the New England road, in the cut east
of Terryville. A heavy railroad tie
was placed upon the rails, and braced
with twO stout pic-cl s of timber. The
train was running so fast that the ob-
struction was thrown out of positiOn
without throwing the train off the
track.« The pilot of the engine was
badly wrenched.

The spot where the attempt was made
is a dangerous one being ‘on a curve
and about 50 fee t from an embankment.
The train was heavily loaded.

Gets a Pension.

The many Norwalk friends of M 35.
James L. Ambler, will be rejoiced to
know that the Washington pension
agency of William H. Hayward 85 Co.
has succeeded in getting a widow’s pen-
sion allowed her on account of her late
husband’s service. Sergeant Ambler
was a member of Co. 0, 27th Ct. Vols.
and was seriously wounded in the fierce
charge up Mayries’ Heights at the bat-
tle of Fr edericksburg. Mrs. Ambler
and the pension agency are alike to be
congratulated upon the speedy action
upbn and allowance of the case.

‘In Hard Luck.

Horace Saunders, the bicycle rider,
has two ugly wounds on his head that
he received in New Canaan, yesterday.
He was practicing on his wheel and in
turning the corner near Johhson’s car-
riage factory, the bicycle struck a rut
and Saunders was thrown headlong to
the ground. He was picked up in a
semi- conscious condition and taken to
Monroe’s drug-store and a physician
summoned, who found that he had sus-
tained two long gushes in his head. To
a short time he recovered sufficiently
to be carried home in~a carriage. His
first question after reviving was “Is my
bicycle hurt much?”

A much larger amount of mail mat-

last week, than before in several weeks.
Both the outgoing and incoming mail
pouches were unusually well filled.
The post-office employees and mail car-

fact a sign that business is shaking off
its lethargy and will soon be booming
again.

. Revolutionary Records". 1_

Town Clerk Smith, as well as
all others throughout the state, will
have some work to do under a resolution
just passed by the House, and it is for-
tunate under the circumstances that the
old town records of N orwalk are in
good shape. The resolution provides
“that every town clerk in this State shall

examine carefully the town records of}

his town and make atrue copy of all
that relates to the revolutionary war. in
such records, between 1774 and 1784,
inclusive, preserving the original spell-
ing and capitals and the original form
of the record as far as may be, giving the
page and volume of the record, and
shall certify that it is a trim copy of the
record, and mail the same to the State
librarian at Hartford, on or before J an-
uary 1, 1896; and shall be paid there'-
for, by the State, at the rate of
twenty-five cents per legal page.
Where there is no such record the town
clerk shall so certify.”
A Troublesome Customer.

Saturday night, a man somewhat un-
der the influence of liquor, called at
Dann’s livery stable, and engaged a
team to take him to Ridgefield. HO
said that he was a coachman for a sum-
mer resident of that place, and that he
had missed the train. A horse was
hitched to a spindle wagon and “Felix’;
was selected to take the man home.
They started off all right, but accord-
ing to the story told by Felix the man
soon after developed a good sized jag
and fell out of the wagon three times
before Wilton was reached, and twice
the wagon wheels passed over him.
Felix became sick and tired of picking
the man up and finally dumped him
into the wagon in an apparently lifeless
condition and drove back to the sta-
bles, where the man was given a bed
on a haymow and allowed to sleep until
the next morning, when he was awak-
ened, and took the train for Ridgefield.

his residence in New York city..

Oneof Norwalk’s best known Ger-
man residents, Joseph Matheis, died at
his home on Ward street, last night, in
the 65th year of his age. _ He was born
in Darnstein-on-the-Rhine, Germany,
He
came to this country about forty years
ago and assisted in the terra-cotta work
on the Cooper Institute, New York.
Soon after, he came to Norwalk, and
for twenty years or more was a skilled
workman at the pottery of the late Asa
E. Smith.

He then opened a saloon in the Skid-
dy block on Main street, which he fit-
ted up in a manner that attracted to
his place a select custom. He did a fine
business and later on purchased the
building, which he retained possession
of until his death.

About ten years ago his son Henry
succeeded him in the business. The
‘deceased then purchased property on
Ward street, upon which he caused to
be erected two houses, one of which he
occupied. This property he greatly
improved, and his whole delight seemed
to be in the culture of flowers and vege-
tables, and at all hours of the day he,
until within a short time since, might
have been seen toiling in his garden, or
"feeding his birds, of which he was also
passionately fond.

-His wife died about five years ago,
and since then “Joe” as he was [famil-
iarly called has, as those who knew
him best could see, been failing, until

shock, which resulted in his death as
above, he being unable to articulate a
word during his entire sickness.

The deceased joined St. John’s
Lodge, F. & A. M. over thirty years
ago, and was one of the oldest mem—
bers of that lodge now living. He was
also indentified with the earlier 'life of
the Norwalk Fire department, ’and en-
listed as a member of Phoenix Engine
company, in which company he served-
in an official capacity, and was also
successively elected first and second
assistant engineer of the department.

He ”leaves four children, Henry and
Joseph Mathies, Mrs.“ P. Gallagher and
Mrs. Herbert Hull.

The funeral will take place on Wed-
nesday afternoon, at 3 o’clock, the.
burial being at Union cemetery with
Masonic honors. ,
