Deserves a Better Fate.
In these days of international yacht-
ing activity, when every Norwalker
is speculating on the outcome of the
approaching struggle for the cup, and
thé trim Defender is "—being groomed
for her supreme effort, the glorious old
America, first winner of the trophy
which England'has vainly tried to wrest
from us, deserves to be remembered.
It is not pleasant to think that this
once superb boat, in which everv patri-
otic American formerly took an honest
pride, is now’ilying, dismantled and
decaying, at Chelsea. Since the death
of Ben Butler the victor in the earliest
of the great international yacht races
has not been used or cared for. The
craft that bore the Stars and Stripes so
far in advance of her British rivals
thatinjthe language of history, “There
washo se’cohd,” is rotting as ignomini-
ously‘ as a discarded canal boat, while
all the attention of the public is direct-
ed toward her latest successor, whose
prowess is shortly to be matched against
Valkyrie III.
This is not just nor patriotic. Surely
the America deserves a better fate, By
act of Congress the epoch making ves-
sels of the old American navy are jeal-
ously preserved with great care and ex-
pense as invaluable mementoes of a he-
roic past. The Constitution, saved from,
destruction by the fiery wrath of
Holmes’ immortal poem, “Aye; tear
her shattered ensign down ; ” the Con-
stellution, in which 'i‘ruxtod’g‘allantly
fought the French in the West Indies,
and the Hartford, Farragut’s flagship.
in the fiercest naval action of the civil
war, are still afloat at the nations charge.
The Kearsarge would have been main-
tained also if she had not found the
reef of Roncador more fatal than the
broadsides of the Alabama. It is well
to keep these giants of the Republic’s
earlier days ; but assuredly the Ameri-
ca deserves protection and preservation
as well. It ought to be possible to se-
cure sufficient capital to rescue this
brave old prize-winner from oblivion
and keep her as a perpetual memorial
of Yankee skill, pluck and achievement.

Moving the Crops.
The statement that the Treasury
Department will give more attention to
keeping plenty of small bills and silver
in circulation than to maintaining the
gold balance during the next two
months is explained by the fact that
this is the crop moving season. As the
crops are purchased at first hands in
small lots the currency required to
make quick and easy payments must be
largely in bills of small denominations
and the estimate of $25,000,000 in one
and two-dollar notes which will be re-
quired for this use seems quite low
enough. The chances 'are that it is
under rather than up to the real extra
demand.
To the great public the, chief interest
in this statement lies in the fact that it
marks the beginninghof the crap mov-
ing season. Whethenthe particular
kind of currency needed for this service
shall be 325,000,000 0. - twice that
amount concerns only the buyers and
' sellers themselves. The fact that the
great staple crops are to be moved, giv-
ing increased employment to railways,
canals and steamship lines and quicken-
iug industries in a thousand directions,
concerns everybody. The moving of
the crops means that the farmers will
have money to spend, with the mer-
chants and manufacturers, and that new
impetus will be given to the already
reviving business of the country.
Fortunately for the nation in general
and the farmers in particular, the crop
diversification has been in the right
direction this year. There have been
less cotton and wheat planted than us-
ual. The markets were already over-
stocked with both. More corn and
potatoes have been planted, staples
. with which the markets were not over
stocked, and the crepe of both are
above the average, that of corn being
the greatest ever known. As if nature
, . , ' . ,
,c - '
' . l
had been trying to help the farmers
restore the equilibrium, the crop con-
ditions elsewhere are likely to cause a
lively demandifor all our staples.
Unless all signs fail; it will thus come
about that the wheat and cotton pro-
ducers with smaller crops than usual
will get more money by an appreciation
in prices than they formerly secured for
a greater yield of their respective sla-
ples, with the big corn and potato crops
in reserve to fill all possible demands
both at home and abroad. On the
whole, the crops seem to fit the markets
better this year than usual and the
‘ preparations for moving them will be
hailed by everybody as the signal for
the beginning of a very busy and profit-
able fall and winter season.

The Eclipse.
Last night’s lunar eclipse was entirely
visible to North and South America,
and in part to portions of Europe,
Africa, Australia,~and the‘Atlantic and
Pacific oceans.
The moon entered penumbra at 9:48
p. m.; entered shadow at 11 p. m.; total
eclipse began at 12:06; total eclipse
ended at 1:47 a. m.; left shadow at 2:54
a. m. and left penumbra at 4:06 a. m.
The penumbral phase was visible only
to astronomers,
The first intimation of darkness that
ordinary mortals received was at 11
o’clock when the shadows began to
steal across one edge. At 12:15 the
moon’s center was of a coppery hue,
tinted with green and yellow. This
faint illumination is caused by a re
fraction of old sol’s rays while passing
through the earth’s atmospheric _envel~
ope audits dislinctuess depends upon
the changeable atmospheric conditions.

ceive instruction and benefit in hisfarm
work. Chairman Gold spoke in hearty
praise of the Hoyls’ horticultural won-
der, the Green, Mountain grape, and a
stern two feet long cut froniayoung
who was shown, with six large bunches
adhering to it, and estimated to weigh
six or seven pounds. A new and extra-
ordinarily beautiful seedling apple of
large size and crimson ch eeks, was also
shown, cut from a two year old tree. A
lavish abundance of Green Mountain
grapes, pears and peaches, were served
to the guests and the statement made
that some four hundred baskets had
been marketed from the nursery peach
orchards. '

a reporter of the Weekly Tribune, the
American Gardner and the Country
Gentleman.
The guests from a distance were con-
veyed to the cars at New Canaan and
South Norwalk by the Messrs. Hoyt,
while the “home guard” tarried as if
loth to leave.
The day was perfect and the occasion
one long to be remembered by the
guests and their generous and worthy
hosts.

Miss .ilice Newcomb, died at the resi-

Newcomb, who at one time resided in
Brewster's, N. Y., at which place she
was born in August 1869. '
Miss Newcomb was of kind and loving
disposition, and a young lady who was
ever ready and willing to sacrifice any
pleasure, if by so doing she could help
any one, and especially those who knew
her best. Sire was the comfort of her
parents and always loving and confiding
toward her brother and sister.
She leaves a large circle of friends to
mourn her loss. '

Emphatlcally Denies Many of the
Published Statements.
Says His Wife is a'Prudent House-
keepen '
Mr. Thomas McMullen called at this
oflice yesterday, and stated that he felt
much aggrieved at the article credited
to the Bridgeport Farmer and
published in the local dailies in refer-
ence to himself and wife.
He said that up to the present time so
far as he knew the relations existing
between himself and wife had been all
that could be desired, and that a cross
word seldom if ever passed between
them. He says that the first differences
it indeed they could be called such
occured after his having sent a telegram
to his wife’s relatives in Bridgeport
stating that she was dangerously sick,
and on the arrival at his home of. eight
members of his wife’s family all of
whom were given a cordial welcome.
He emphatically denies the published
assertion that during his wife’s illness
he never spoke to her, and believes
that if it were not for outside interfer-
ence she would still be at his home and
happy.
He says that she spoke to him in re-
ference to making a two'week’s visit
with friends in Bridgeport and thinking
that the change would be beneficial to
her health, advised her to go. He was
notonly greatly surprised but chragrin-
ed to learn through the newspapers
that she did not intend to return to his
home, and will‘not believe such to be
the case until he hears so from her per~
sonally. '
He denies that he ever complained to
his friends that "his wife had already
cost him 3200," during their marriage,
extending over six years. He admits
that he may have said that she had $150
or more in her possession when she
went away, but did say so o'nly to show
that the charges of neglect which some
evil minded persims have seen fit to
prefer against him were without a
shadow of truth.
. He further states that every Saturday
night he gave his entire wages to, his
wife in the name sealed envelope in
which he received them, and she was
free to do as she chose with the money.
Mr. McMullen epeaks of his wife as a
prudent housekeeper, a good wife, and
a woman that any man might feel proud
of calling his wife. A woman who still
has his entire late and confidence.
Those in a position to know he says,
Will bear him out in the statement that
his wife and child had a nicely furnish-
ed home, plenty to eat and wear, and
of the best, and a happy home.
He would not he says have anything
to say about the matter only there are
those Who after having read the inter-
view with his w1fe’s father were led to
believe that there was neglect on his
part which is not borne out by the facts
in the case. ’

Palnter Charles' Pardee Drops 75
Feet Into the Housatonlc
River.
The Scantling Gave Way.
. Charles Pardee, a painter living with
his wife-at 68 Main street, this city, and
employed by the Consolidated road,
met with an accident yesterday utter-i
noon which almost resulted in his
death.
He was at work with a gang’ of men
engaged in repainting the overhead of
the bridge at the Naugatuek Junction
when a part' of the scantling on the
scaffold broke and he fell about 75 feet
and struck one of the railroad ties in
his descent injuring him severely but
not seriously.
The men had been to work on the
bridge all the morning and had stopped
for lunch. l’ardee had just completed
his dinner and climbed to his lofty
place to resume his work. In doing so
he stepped upon the scintling which
supported the boards on which he was
to work.’ Without a moment’s warning
the scantling broke and Pardce fell
headlong » to the tracks beneath. He
landed on his back on the ties and with
a bound fell to the water. The tide
was running very strong at the time
and his fellow painters thought that he
was doomed. They were surprised on
reaching the spot to find that the man
was still alive and as evidence of it had
struck out for the shore. Ropes were
at once secured and after a hard strug-
gle the injured man was brought to the
bank. Word of the accident was tele-
graphed to the nearest station and a
freight train which Was switching near
by was called to the scene. The Wash-
ington express was held back to give
the freight the right. of way and the
injured man was taken‘ to Bridgeport.
At the emergency hospital Dr. Ford
found that strangely enough Pardee
bad a bruise on his hip and a sprained
wrist, but not a bone was broken. His
escape was remarkable.
Pardee is ason of John H. Pardee
with whom he lives, and was at one time
a clerk in Osterbanks store. He was
also employed at one time by Anton
Et-Jmmell.
