Our Country’s Flag.
No American orator can have a
grander theme than his country’s flag.
No living citizen of this Republic pos-
sesses the ability to speak with greater
force and felicity on this inspiring sub-
ject than Benjamin Harrison. When
this eminent Republican leader addres-
ses the public on a topic of patriotism
llS words command profound attention,
not only from their own inherent pow-
cr but from the personality of the
speaker who utters them. Back of
General Harrison’s manly and elc quent
uttsranccs is a lifetime of devotion to
the flag and all that it typifies; a record
of gallant service on the'battlcfield, of
useful, unselfish labor in the halls of
legislation, of faithful and far sighted
endeavor in the highest office in the
gift of the American people. Audit is
doubtful if any of his addresses on this
or any other kindred theme equals the
m-rgnificent speech which he delivered
It is
not necessary to quote largely from
this speech for it has been read before
this time by nearly-every voter in the
United States. But the following brief
passage is Worthy to be printed many
t‘mcs and to be read again and again:
It is an enshrined sentiment that
makes this flag, and it stands . for a
glorious history. We-look upon that
flag and we think of Bunker Hill, and
we see the gallant band expending the
last charge of ammunition and battling
with clubbed muskets over the breast-
works and retiring at last defeated; yet,
as some one said, Britain won the vic-
tory that day and we kept the hill. It
speaks to us of Lexington and Concord,
of Valley Force, of Saratoga, f York-
tiwn, and of all those great achieve-

Washington. We look again and see
the benign face of Abraham Lincoln.
We look again, and Grant and Sherman
and Sheridan are revealed to us. We
see upon its folds 1th story of Vicks-
burg and Chickamauga, and Chatta-
nooga, of Gettysburg and of Apomat-
tox. It is this story that is woven into
it that makes it precious to us; it is thus
that it inspires. It is that for which
it stands, a Union of States, a g0vern-
ment of the maple, for they made it,
by the people, for they conduct it; and
for the people, for it has missed its
object if it does not accomplish their
good. It stands for a government of
law, for a civil organization, for 0. Con-
stitution that has assigned powers. It
stands for the thought that our people
have pledged their loyalty to a system
of laws of their own making, subject to
be changed by them; but, while they
are laws, demanding the allegiance of
every man and woman in the country.
This is the very essence of American-
ism. Its outlincsina few short sen-
tences the broad basic principles upon
which this republic stands. It pictures,
as though by lightning, the whole his-
tory of faith and heroism and sacrifice
and achievement which has made the
United States the freest of great no.-
lions and the greatest of free nations.
The lesson which it enforces is always
timely, and never more timely than
now, when a noisy faction of men who
have climbed, many of them, into
places of official power, are deriding
American ideas, belittling the United
States in the eyes of foreign Govern-
ments, and affronting the dignity of the
American flag. ,
The stars of the American flag have
been the light of hope to oppressed hu-
manity of every nation and every
tongue. Their rays touched the shack-
les of the slave and they dropped from
him. Their glory, shining across the
Atlantic, awakened the irresistible de-
mand for emancipation among the toil-
ing millions of EurOpe. What our flag
and the principles it symbolizes have
done for distant foreigners they should
do for neighboring Americans. The
immeasurable power of the moral sup-
port of the United States should be ex.
crted on the side of the Cuban people
in their valiant struggle for freedom.
The emblem of the American Republic
should be made the token of steadfast
sympathy and unwavering friendship to tended from her late home to-morrow r

East Haven is a tic-license place.
Saturday night Secretary Thrasher of
the Law and Order League wit : offi-
cers seized 48 kegs of beer belonging to
a man who is alleged to have been vio-

Burglars in Brainford.
At three o’clock yesterday morning
two burglars entered the house of M.
P. Rice in Brnnford, but were fright-
ened away before securing any booty.
Mr. Rice woke up and found a who in
his bedroom standing over him with a
dark lantern. He called his brother
William, and the two gave chase to the
burglars. Both robbers were in their
bare feet and made a hasty retreat.
They ran down the street and jumped
into: a buggy, which was in waiting,
and escaped.

Sneak Thieves In Bridgeport.
The Bridgeport police yesterday af-

who say they belong in New York.
They gave their names as Frank Fele-
berg and Ludwig Weidergram. They
visited Mrs. Emma Beckstrom’s board:
ing house on Hancock avenue and one
them asked for a needle and thread to
mend his lrousers. He was allowed to
enter a bedroom to do the work and he
rifled the house. He escaped through
a rear window with $56 in cash belong-
ing to the boarders. The police captur-

Riverside Cemetery.
Never did that city of the dead,
Riverside cemetery, look more beauti-
ful than on Sunday last. The rain that
fell Saturday night had refreshed the
grass and plants, and the many hand-
some monuments to which additions
are being made every week were made
to shine like new. Even the bronze
soldier on the soldiers’ plot seemed to
have been refreshed by the rain. The
natural beauties of the cemetery are
many but Superintendent Kellogg is
making numerous improvements in and
~about the same. Eventually it will be
the handsomest cemetery in western
Connecticut.
Remarkable New Canaan infant.
The following story comes from New
Canaan: “Probably one of the few
cases of the successful raising of a pre-
maturely born child is the case of Mrs.
Clarence 0. Ella of this place, to whom,
in December last, a female child came
three months sooner than it was expect—
ed. At its birth the child weighed but
one and a quarter pounds, and could
easily be enclosed in two ordinary
coffee cups. The child has been
brought through the throes of whoop-
ing cough, but seems to thrive. It is
remarkable in the fact that no artificial
means were resorted to raise the child,
which was nursed in nature’s own way.
It is now about eight months old and
weighs about as much as the average
child at birth. There is no reason be-
yond the ordinary why it should not
attain womanhood."

ASERIOUS CHARGE. I
.1..__.___~
Miss Amy M. Gra0000k= Says She
Was Robbed of Her Inherltance.
Support Herself.
Residents of Stratford are becoming
accustomed to sensations, but the one
which is now agitating the town has
caused even more than the usual
amount of speculation. Miss Amy M.
Craddock has been sued by her father
to recover property which was be-
queathed to her when she was a child.
She claims that her father: attempted
to defraud her, and that he was only
circumvented after he had almost ac-
complished his purpose. The case has
been carried to the courts, and when
it comes up for trial the testimony bids
fair to discount that heard at any of
. Stratford’s past sensations.
Miss Craddock is the daughter of
George W. Craddock who for some
time was employed by Butcher E. J'
Wadhams, at his Wall' street market
and afterwards conducted a meat mar-
ket of his own, on Washington‘
street, Soot-ll Nor-walk. She is very
popular among a large circle of ac-
quaintances. Her father some time
ago sold out his market and retired from
business.
Nine years ago, when Miss Craddock
was only 13 years old, her father’s uncle,
John Craddock, deeded to her some
property. This real estate is located
near the depot and is worth something
ox or $3,000 at present. At the time it
was deeded to her, it was estimated to
be worth that amount but it was mort-
gaged for $1,000.
At the same time her father received
from her uncle a piece of land in an-
other part of the town worth about the
same amount. Up to a year or two ago
Miss Craddock heard very little from
her parents as to the worth of the land
or what should be done with it. As
she approached her majority, however,
her parents commenced to talk to her in
regard to it and tried to impress upon
her mind the‘fact that it was not really
hers. They told her that it had been
given to her by her father’s brother, to
be held till she was of age. Then she
was to deed it to her father. She did
not take readily to the idea of givmg
up the property, and demurred in a
very earnest manner.
Early in June, she says, the importu-
nities of her parents became irresisti-
ble and she finally decided reluctantly
to comply - With their requests. On
June 15 she went with her father to the
office of a notary public and there the
quit claim deed transferring the prop-
erty from her name to his was drawn.
Even then she did not want to sign it
and there was a long dispute. In the
end she yielded and afiixed her signa-
ture to the document which her father
put in his pocket and carried away with.
him. .
It was only a little while after this
that she noticed a marked change in
the attitude of her parents. She has
been unable to Work all winter on ac-
count of illness, and has remained at
home helping her mother about the
house. Immediately after the deed was
signed, she says she noticed a decided
coolness. She seemed to be in the way
and was finally told that if she was go-
ing to remain at home it was time for
her to get to work and earn some
money with which to pay her board.
She declared that she was dumbfound-
ed at this information, for she was not

Funerals.
The funeral of- Mrs. Fannie Mokely,
wife of William Chase, was attended
from St. Mary’s church, at 9 o’clock
this morning. The burial was in the
family plot at St. Mary’s cemetery.
Mrs. Chase lookedihandsome and life-
like clothed in a rich white silk dress,
as she lay in a rich lavender plush cas-
ket, surrounded by beautiful floral
pieces consisting of a harp, broken col.
umn, wreathes, etc. Rev. Father Dug-
gan officiated at the funeral services.
The pallbearers were William Powell,
Frank Duggan, Edward Henry, Joseph
Smith and J. Cavanagh. The flower

able to work. Then she decided that
because her parents secured her prop-
erty, they cared no more about her.
'The girl learned that there was one
means of escape yet left open to her,
so she sought a purchaser for the land.
In this she succeeded. George M. Rob-
ertson of this city, bought the land
which had been previously deeded to
the young lady’s father. He examined
the records at the town clerk’s office in
Stratford and found no transfer record-
ed there, so the sale was consummated
and his purchase recorded. ’
' Mr. Craddock was not long finding
out how things stood, and he decided
at once to bring action to have the
deed set aside. Through Canfield &
Judson he has brought a suit in which
he asks for a temporary injunction, to
prevent Robertson from collecting the
rents from the property in dispute. He
also asks for the ordering of the remov-
al cf the cloud on his title by the relin-
quishment of the deed now held by
Robertson. This suit, it is understood,
will be vigorously fought.

A Queer Proceeding.
Yesterday afternoon grand juror
John E. Whitney of New Canaan made
a complaint of incorrigibility against
Frank Morton, a Wilton lad. Justice
F. E. Bliss of New Canaan signed
the warrant and W. S. Raymond, bor-
ough Sheriff of New Canaan went to
'Wilton and arrested young Morton and
carried him to New Canaan for trial.
Word was dispatched to Norwalk for
Attorney E. M. Lockwood but he could
not be found and Justice Bliss commit-
ted Morton to the Meriden Reform
school, - ~
This morning Attorney Lockwood
went to New Canaan and requested
that the case be reopened and he allow-
ed to appeal to a higher court, but his
request was refused by Justice Bliss.
As the offense is only recognizable
the town of Wilton, Morton beina‘ a
resident of that town, the New Canaan
authorities had no jurisdiction .in the
matter and Attorney Lockwood will at
once institute habeas corpus proceed-
ings and get the boy out.

the some up with a similar thwack with
his left hand, and also to make a miss-
kick with his right foot.
feted and the aggressor, who proved to
be William McMullen, skipped out, but
later came and gave himself up to Cap-
tain Dunn, who accompanied him to
Judge Hubbell’s office. but as no co m-
plaint had been made against him he
was not placed under arrest.
' Later, “Mickey” swore out a war-
rant against his nephew alleging as-
sault. McMullen was placed under ar-
rest, but a hearing in the case was ad-
journed and he was released on his own
recognizance.
William McMullen, ,the party arrest-
ed, claims that Michael McMullen, who
caused his arrest, is a chronic tale-bear-
_er, and for a long time has been in the
habit of going to his, William’s, parents
with stories derogatory to him ' and
without a semblance of truth. He says
that he had stood it as long at he could
and accordingly punished him but not
one-half what he deserved. He admit-
ted that he might have been hasty, but
claimed that “Mickey” had angered
him out of patience.
The scene created considerable
amusement for the onlookers, one of
whom remarked “And Mickey is a. poor
harmless divil if he would only kape.
