I» Saturday Bank Closing.
The two South Norwalk banks and
Bank of Norwalk resolved to pay no
attention to the law going into effect
to-day providing for closing at 12 merid-
ian. In consequence, the Fairfield
County and Central, who favored obey-
ing the law, concluded to remain open,
for. the present at least. Comptroller
Eckles was applied to for his view of
their duty,.by one of the banks. He
replied giving it as his opinion that the
GJRDSCthHl‘; banks could not legally‘
keep open Saturday afternoons, but
stated it was not a question for his de-
" ' partment to dec1de and advised that
‘our‘ban’ks Obtain competent legal opin-
7,_icns_'h,ere as‘to their duty under the
new law. A i
The Norwalk and South Norwalk
Savings Banks will close. The National
Banks in most places throughout the
state will obey the law and close Sat-
urday ' afternoons: As one Norwalk
cashier expressed it in the language of
President Grant, the best way to get a
bad law repealed is to execute it.

“Wa’d Some Power.”
Editor A. H. Byington, of the Nor—
walk GAZETTE, is next to Editor A. E.
Burr, the oldest journalist in point of
years of service, in the state. His lit-
erary career has been an honorable
and shining one, a model record for
the aspiring young scribe to pattern
after, and it was sincerely hoped that
this bright record might continue
bright and worthy until that day—far
be it removed—when his vigorous and
vivacious pen shall drop from his nerve-
less hand. But—he has dropped into

patch.
Ah, there, John! we plead an alibi.
'lhat poetry was lifted bodily from a
dainty note you left behind here, signed
“Rose Bad.” And weren’t we justified
in its use, when our Congressman’s
prose runs mad and his red hot rhetoric
gives such sure evidence of literary
.jim-jams? In his regular and awe-in-
spiring letter in today’s Hour, what in
Heaven’s name, will touch his case
and do him justice, we rise to ask,
short of Rose Bud’s or Bross’ pOetry?
Take this sample paragraph, John, and
deny, if you can,that poetry is the only
I ‘; punishment that
scan this specimen brick, and. Maples:
pore, there, too:
"As I rode down the Merced canon,
on the following day, to visit the Gas-
cades, I saw a half dozen Digger
squaws, lying like pigs upon the grass,
fat, lazy and nasty, and though we
p .ssed within a fewrods of them, but a
single one lifted her head, and she only
"granted .and dropped back 'upon the
grass again.”
And now, John, after reading this,
don’t seize your gripsack and rush to
the rescue of Hill and Maples, as your
generous nature might and no doubt
will, tempt you to do.

Bicycling on Sunday.
The Tribune discusses the above
question with elaborate seriousness.
Ever since the dual ~wheel became a
prevailing hobby with millions of peo-
ple on both sides the Atlantic and es-
}: cially so in this land of universal
liberty, the- tendency to use the Sab-
bath as aniespecial day of holiday rid-
ing, has awakened the most serious
anxieties and solicitude of church
workers and God-fearing people gener-
ally. ,
The Tribune treats the subject with
fairness and moderation, but with be-
coming seriousness in referring to the
effect this growing custom is to have
in changing our aforetime recognition
of the sacredness of the Sabbath. 'It
truly says that the great majority of
men who have made bicycling an
avocation find Sunday the only availa-
ble day on which to ride.” This will
not be admitted by strict observers of
Sunday, who contehd that most men
can find enough time during the six-
days ofihe week for all the wheeling
that .is good for them. But, however
true their contention may begin the;
fist the crime. J ust -
coming more and more to be recogniz-
ed as thc great day of the week for
wheelmen. The tendency of the age,
both in the churches and out of them,
is toward a more liberal observance of
the first day of the week; and this fact
~is giving a powerful impetus to the
special movement in favor of Sunday
cycling. If the men who ride a wheel
on Sunday were all irreligious men, it
would be easy for the churches to make
a religious issue of the question, though
it is hard to see how they could stem
the tide in that direction. But this is
far from being the case. As a matter
of fact, must wheelmen who ride on
Sunday, are either church members or
nominal professors of religion. They
have at loastba traditional respect for
the beliefs that cluster around the ob-
servance of Sunday; and they would
not willingly do anything that would
array them as opponents of religion
and morality. Bow to deal with these
men is the problem which the churches
are called upon to-day to solve; and it
must be admitted that it is one of great
difficulty, demanding the exercise of
wisdom, tact and Christian charity.
If, as we believe, bicycling on Sun-
day cannot be prevented, it seems to us
that it would be the part of wisdomfor
the churches to make the best of the
situation. A few churches have already
in a tenative way, arranged special scr-
viccs fer wheelmen, inviting certain
clubs, at the beginning Or the end Of a
Sunday run, to attend services in a
body and listen to a special sermon ap-
propriate to the occasion. The idea is
one that could probably be successfully
developed in many places if the
churches and asébciations of wheelmen
will get together and arrange a suitable
programme. There are of course, some
wheelmen who would not go to church
anyhow; unfortunately, that is true of
many professing Christians. But we
believe that many wheelmen, if, not the
majority, would gladly welcome the
Sunday, if such attendance could be so
arranged as not to interfere with their
Sunday run. '
To carry out such a scheme success-
fully it will be necessary for the
churches and wheelmen of various dis-
tricts to cc-operatc together in prepar-
ing a schedule cf services. In some
cases it might be feasible for the wheel-
men to attend an early service in a
‘home church before they start out, or
have a service at the middle or end of
the run. If. this were done, and if the
churches would provide a short and
interesting service, with an appropriate
sermon for such occasions, the result
might be gratifying alike to the church-
es and the wheelmen.

_ Express Messenger Hurt.
George A. Laue, an Adams Express

The Storm. .
The heat of yesterday smashed to
smithcreens all May records for a num-
ber of years. The indicator on ther-
mometers cavorted between 90 and 100
during the day, but there was a small
percentage of humidity which made
the heat more endurablo.
In the afternoon the sun was occa-
sionally obscured by black clouds, un-
til about 5 o’clock, when it was entirely
eclipsed by storm clouds. This eclipse
was followed by a gale which hurled
the dust in every direction, and hustled
about awnings, and through open door-
ways, scattering before it‘leverything
that came in its way.
Then a rain cloud, or an aggregation
of them, burst over the town and the
air was filled with rain drops as large
as silver half dollars. There was an
accompanying electrical storm, but it
did no material damage to buildings.
The mod razed" several irces about
town and pruned several others of their
dry branches and in some instances of
their foliage, scattering the same about
the streets, parks and dooryards.
On Union Park a large elm tree was
Split in twain, and six sections’of the
fire alarm wires laid on the ground.
A large elm tree in front of the Merritt
homestead was blown over, and in less
than one hour after it fell the entire
tree had been cut up into cordwood and
carted away by the Italians livmg in
the neighborhood,
A large pTdtc glass door window in
Olsen Bros. shoe store was blown out,
as was also a door window in Grumman
Bros. store on Main street.
During the storm, lightning struck
E. P.
Weed’s residence on Wall street, tear-
ing off the door post and throwing
Splintcrs nearly to the house. The
fluid then jumped to the garden fence
and ran along to the gate which it
splintered. The lock on the barn door
was torn off and can’t be found.
To-day is fully as hot as yesterday,
but with more air stirring, and it is
promised by Farmer Dunn that to—mor-
row will be another scorcher.

CONSTANTINOPLE, J unc l..——Three Brit-

with instructions to protect the lives of
foreigners and to investigate the killing of
the British vice consul and the wounding

Intered by Turkish gendarmcs, who at-
tempted to arrest a servant of the envoys.
They used abusive language and were ex-
pelled with difficulty. This coupled with
the news from .Jeddah that the British
consul and vice consul, the Russian acting
consul and the French consular secretary
were attacked and shot at outside the
town, has caused considerable excitement
in diplomatic circles.
The British vice consul, as already on-
bled, was killed, and the British consul
was slightly wounded. The other consular
officers were seriously wounded. The
ahootfiig is attributed to Bedoulna
This is regarded as a confirmation of the
tumors which have been current for some
time past of a contemplated uprising of
the Moslcms in Arabia against the Chris-
tian population, and that the green banner
of the Mohammedans would again be raised
in a fierce religious war. _
These outbreaks of the fanatical follow-
ers of the prophet have been frequent in
the past, and ~ the present acts of- violence
:eported would seem to indicate that a
general massacre of the Christians in
Arabia was imminent.
. Je‘ddah is the port of Mecca on the Red
second is on the route by which hosts of
pilgrims from all the Moslcm, counties in
the-east reach the shrine of Mohammed.
its inhabitants are a fanatical people of
the most. extreme type, and the religious
fervor of the ignorant people is always
kept at the boiling point.
The whole of the surrounding country
is populated by tribes of Bedouins, 'mostly
of the roving sort, though some settle in
small-villages, and the few European rosi-
dcnts of the country would have little
chance of ' escape" should the outbreak
against the Christians become general. ’
