. The Tailors’ Strike.
The New York Brotherhood tailors.
who have just entered upon a contest of
endurance with ,their employers, will
make a grave mistake if they counte-
nance or encourage acts of violence
and disorder among their ranks.
Nothing is more impel tent to the suc-
cess of a strike than the support of
public sympathy, and no matter how
just the demands of the strikers may
be they invaribly alienate such sym-
pathy when they resort to lawlessness.
The attacks which some of the striking
tailors made upon non-union tailors in
Brooklyn and Williamsburg Monday
indicate that thisfact is yet a stranger
to the assailants. ,
There can be no question that the lot
of these strike1s is an unhappy one.
The revelations made‘ oy the cemmittee,
which has been investigating the sweat
shop system in New York City and
elsewhere have aroused a widespread
feeling of pity for the unfortunate
victims of it. How far the contractors
or middlemen are to blame in the mat-
ter is apparently a subject Of dispute.
But the ,st1ikers, however just their
present demands may be, Will prejudice
their cause from the outset if they do
not sternly ”frown upon all mob vio-
lence. Before all else the American
people insist that law shall be respected
and the rights of all persons rigidly
protected.
...
It Is Mandatory.
Some of our exchanges, says the N01:-
wich Bulletin, seem to have come to the
conclusion that each county, like each
town, must vote its proportion to the
towns for the promotion of good roads.
It is not so. If it were so, the good
roads bill would be of no value what.
ever, for half, if not all, of the counties
could be relied upon to refuse to vote
their share of the money before a large
amount had been called for by the
towns. The can’t-stand-it stage is soon
reached when taxes are being incleased.
It 15 popular for every one to praise
every improvement tax funds procure
and to c11 rse every movement which
takes an extra dollar out of nis pocket
Men lik e good roads, well~paved walks,
well-watered streets and well policed
places, but they hate to pay their part
of the expense. Realizing this the
legislators gave the county no option.
The law says if a town appropriates $1,-
000 for good roads the county shall pay
its proportion, and the new highway
commission instriicts the counties how
much they owe to the towns. However
much a county would like to dodge the
consequences of the act, it can’t do it.
Brazfl and England.
Great Britain’s reported seizure of
the Island of Trinidad, off the coast of
Brazil, is apparently another step in
the comprehensive British programme
of securing possession of every available
stratgetic point in American wafers
with a view of future contingencies.
Information about the affair is still too
vague to allow Of authoratative com-
ment, but it is clear that the action of
the British Government has aroused
and it
.0.-
intense excitement in Brazil,
would not be strange if this appropria-
tion of what the Brazillians have long
regarded as their own territory should
bring about an outburst of popular
passion which may make things decid-
edly uncomfortable for English resi-
dents in that country.
If Brazil shows a disposition'to be
belligerent, 1t woulil‘not excite surprise
to see the British Foreign Office as-
sume a more concilatory' tone. The
great South American Republic, un-
stable though its Government may be,
'is yet a nation of immense resources
and fervent patriotism, as well use
highly valuable market for British
goods. England is likely to treat Bra-
zil with much greater courtesy than
she extends toward such weak states as
Nicaragua and'Venezuela. t would
be easy enough to capture Rio Janeiro
if war should break out, but the re-
mainder of the Brazilian Republic
.. , ,
could not be conduered, and the pro-
longed occupation of the capital by
5English forces would prove an unprofits
able operation. The British lien is a
cunning beast, and although he roars
loudly, commonly counts the cost be-
fore he puts his paw down on any mOr-
sel that he covets.
Plush Strike Ended.
To- morrow the Bridgeport Plush fac-
tory will resume Operations. All of the
striking Operators who wish to return

badly bruised but none was seriously

Will Retaliate.
lIiss Amy Craddock, the young lady
whom her father, George W. Crad-
dock, has sued to recover some proper-
ty which he claims was transferred to
him by his daughter, is liable to the
defendant in a countersuit before the
case reaches the courts. The proceeds
of the property left Miss Cradlock,
which amount to quite a little every
year, have always been collected by her
father. An accounf of the way this has
been expended will probably be asked
for, as Miss Craddock says that is her
intention; Ifsheiloes bring a counter-
suit, her father will doubtless be sorry
that he. ever stirred up such a hornet’s
nest.
Afrald She Might Soecul etc
A motion was smade yesterday efore
Surrogate Arnold by cx~Surrogatc Rol-
lins, in New York. city, com-
pel Fannie R, Peasleo to give security
before receiving a legacy of $10,000
from the estate of her mpther, Martha
K. l’easlee. Fannie R. Peasiec has
only a life estate under her mother’s
will, the property reverting 10 her
brothei, E H. Peaslee, on her .. 11th,
and the basis of the motion is a fear
that if she Obtained possession of the
principal she might lose it in Specula-
tion. In support Of the application it
was said that when Dr. E. R. Peaslee,
father of Miss Peaslee, died, twelve
years ago, he left her a life estv. be of
$20, 000 and that she lost it in spreula-
tion.

Ran Into a Cyclone.
The passenger steamer Nonowantugk
ran into a cyclone On her trip from Port
Jefferson to Bridgeport yesterday.
When the steamer was within five
miles of Bridgeport a big black cloud
with twirling edges swept across the
Sound and in an instant the boat was in
a malestrom. _ Men, women and child—
ren were thrown helter—skelter about
the cabin, giant waves dashed clear over
the boat and many aboard thought the
end had come.
The greatest excitement prevailed.
The engines were slowed down and the
captain sounded to head onto the gale.
For an hour the steamer ran off shore.
Then the wind moderated and the
steamer proceeded to Bridgeport and
llanded a bedraggled lot of humanity.
Lightning Sets a Church Aflre.
Shortly before 3 O’clock yesterday
afternoon, during the fierce thunder
storm, lightning struck the steeple of
.the Grace Episcopal church in Centre-
ville. In a short time the steeple was
in flames. There being no fire depart-
ment in Hamden aid was asked from
New Haven and Chief Hendricks of
that city at once dispatched some hose.
The hose was attached to the engine of
the New Haven Web Company and in
'11. short time the flames were exting-
uished. The church was built in 1820,
and dedicated in 1821. The tremen-
dously heavy rain, together with the
water which was pumped into the
church, did considerable damage to the
interior. The loss by fire is small and
a few hundreddollars will cover it.
A horse owned by Louis Joyce was
standing about 20 feet from the church
when the bolt struck and the animal
dropped as if shot. Not a mark was
found on its body. '

Effie-'Weed, a Colored Chilj‘d,‘the
' Victim.
Taken to the Hospital to Dle.‘
About 11:30 o’clock this morning'the
attention of Lucy Price was attracted
by the screams of a child in the house
of William Whitney on North avenue.
Glanoing up to the place where the
screams emanated she was startled to
see a little girl enveloped 1n flames. ’
She quickly gave the alarm and the
mother of the child rushed up stairs
and attempted to extinguish the blaze
but in so doing was badly burned about
her hands and arms.
In the meantime word had been sent
to Chief Bradley who hastened to the
house and found the child in an agony
of suffering. Fortunately Dr. J. G.
Gregory was making a. call near by and
the chief summoned his ‘ assistance.
The doctor administered an opiate and
soon after the unfortunate child was
taken to the hospital in Fred Smith’s
wagon.
The girl’s name is Effie Smith, and
she is a daughter of Mrs. Whitney by
another husband, and she is said to be
somewhat lacking,r in intellect.
At the time of the accident the
child’s mother was in the yard hanging
up_a washing of clothes, and as soon as
she heard the child’s screams she
hastened into the house and succeeded
in putting out the fl-imes.
The child is terribly burned about
her body and face and it is feared that
she inhaled the flames to the extent
that it is doubtful if she survives.
AS to how the accident .occurrezl, the
mother is at loss to tell, unless that
during her temporary absence the child
in some way caught fire from the stove.
That she was not burned to death is
owing only to the mother’s success in
quenching the flames.
Dr. Huntington who visited the child
at the hospital this afternoon says that
Without doubt the child is fatally burn-
ed, and that she can live but a few
hours at the most.
