'Another Suggestion.
The §Hour idiotically suggests that
the town take steps to recover the $7,-
000 paid to the Consolidated railroad
for the Osborne avenue improvements.
While the town has its hand in recov-
ering money, it might besuggestcd that
steps be taken to. recover the $500

American Interests in Havana.
Advices from Havana indicate that
the Amcric lll residents there are four-
ful lost, in the event of an attack upon
the cathal by the insurgents, there will
be inadequate protection afforded them.
There is at present not a single vessel
of the bevy of the United States‘at that
, ,port, and this fact serves to add to the
" alarm of the American citizens now re-
siding there. Under the circumstances
the best policy, it seems, would be to
send. a ship or two to a nearby port, to
be ready 11111 case Of emergency to be
sent quickly to the port whore help
might be needed. This plan ought not
to offend Spain and should reassure
the Americans in Havana and convince
them that they arelnot being neglected
by the home government.

The Newspapers.
’l‘hcimprovement'in the newspapers
of this country during the.- past forty
or fifty years has fully kept pace with
their growth in numbers, size, and crr-
culution. ' Of course the
change has been in the news,-- both gen-
eral and local. But the improvement
in other respects has been but little
less marked. Formerly the magazines
hall a distinct and uninvaded field.

ments Of‘ art,"scicncc, literature, and
politics used to make its first appear-
ance , in those monthly publications.
But the magazines have divided their
domain with the daily press, and now
ave no exclusive specialty, and their
, chief advantage is their ability to pre-
sent better illustrations than can be
produced by the appliances employed
in printing a newspaper. One of the
greatest and best of the many changes
in the character of the average news-
paper is the improved tone and temper
of its editorials; The reminiscences of
an editor in the January number of the
Forum give a hint of the extent of this
reform. He says:
-‘“There wasa time when newspaper
. men in New York and Washington con-
tributed not a little to public entertain-
ment by the savage way in which they
pitched into each other. That doughty
combatant, James Watson Webb was
grand master in this kind of strife.

Hudson’s ‘History of Journalism in the
United States’, may be found a collect-

Watson Webb, in the Courier and En-

AGREEMENT'ETFECTED.
The Norwalk Tramway'Co. Settle With
Sykes and Natzke.
An agreement has been reached 'be-
tween the attorneys for the Norwalk
Trdmway company, James Sykes and
Herman Natzkr. The last two sued the
Tramway company for damages rel
ceivcd while on a trolley .car going
from Roton Point to Norwalk. The
car collided with another one going in
an opposite-direction while on a single
track. The defense Offered was a poor
one yet the company felt bound to fight
the case owing to the fact that they
might be subjected to other suits if they
allowed judgement to go by default.
A decision was rendered for the
plaintiffs in the superior court.and the
Tramway company took an appeal.
The parties have since come‘ together
and to-Jay it is announced that an
agreement has been reached. Sykes
was awarded $900 and Nalzkc S300
damages.

“Humanity." .
“Humanity,” which W. :1. Brady is
to produce at Hovt”s Theatre, next
Monday night, is said to be a play to
take the popular fancy and hold it, be-
ing full of life struggle. It deals with
war, but not the noisy sort, the scenes
being presented in . war tableaux.
' Through it all Tube a stream of treach-
ery-and vindioitivencss in the relation
of one man to his follows. In two of
the acts the scenes are laid in South
Africa, an entirely new field for the
dramatic writer. In the first act there
is a fox hunting scene, said to be very
picturesque. In the second act the
ruins of an old abbey are presented,
and in the thirdnct is .2“ broudsword
combat on horseback. This is partici-
pated in by Mr. Grismer who plays -lhe
leading role, and who, by the way, is
an expert swordsmon, and by Captain
Walsh, the brondswordsman champion.
In the fourth not the soonic efi'ectis said

Originated From a Defective Flue.
The handsome summer residence of .
Warren E. Smith, the clothing manu-~
facturer, on the “Old Church road," in
the town. of Greenwich, was totally
destroyed by fire at 5 o’clock yesterday
afternoon. ‘
When discovered the fire was under
good headway and all attempts to ex-
tinguish the flames were unavailing and
the handsome building was seen in
ashes. ‘
The fire is' supposed to have origina-
ted from adcfective flue. The house
was valued at $40,000 upon which there
is an insurance, but to what amount is
not known.
Warren E. Smilh .is well known in
Norwalk being the head of the firm of

Bernard Tully,-being duly deputized,
installed last evening; the newly elected

Knights of Columbus, and he did it in
thoroughly workmanlike mariner.
After the installation exercises there
wasa feast of music and recltalions,
followed by a collation that was as ap-
petizingas it was bountiful. Mr. P. H.
Dwyer sang “God Save Ireland” in
such an effective manner that it was
thought the plaudits would fell the five
walls of the room and sink the floor out
of sight. It was altogether one of the
happiest assemblies ever held by the

Mesmerism Extraordinary.
Professor Reynold’s opened a second
week’s engagement at the Opera House
135% night. with one of the 'best enter-
tainments yet given by the Professor.
He hand‘ed his subjects at will and
causal them to do things that kept the
audience in the best of humor. He
made prize fighters,ball-players, etc. of
them, and at times the situations were
of a startling nature. A young printer
named Benedict was made to feel that
he was rollickingly drunk, and to cut
op antics that were outrageously funny.
These entertainments are pleasing and
instructive and deserving of crowded
houses.

THE- GREASE. sfruTTEnso,
And Roasted Baker Marks" Face.
Marks, the Water, street baker, was
' the victim of ’an accident yesterday
morning, in which hot greese played a
leadingpart; His wife being confined
to her bed by sickness, Mr. Marks at-
tempted to cook his own breakfast. He
had provided some chops and dropped
them carefully into the frying-pan.
The chops under theheat shed greese'
in ‘abundence, and in some way the
greens suddenly caught fire. Marks
being new at the business, instead of
smothering the flames with a cover,
sought to blow them out, with the re»
sult that the draft from his ' mouth
caused the greese to’spread and envel-
op his whole face. -
He quickly ran to the sink and lost no
time in bathing his face in cooling
water. _ - '
He then found: that the bums he had
received were of a serious nature. The
skin on both sides of his face was
burned ofi‘, giving the flesh the appear-
ance of freshly cut beef, ’ Remarkably
enough his eyes escape-d serious injury.
Mr. Marks seems of late to have been
a victim of “bad luck” having had to
contend with considerable sickness in
his family, to deal with an. unrepentant
clerk, and to lose by death a horse.
The year 1896, so far, has not dealt
kindly with h1m, and this too with the
reputation Mr. Marks has Of making
the most angelic angel cake of any
baker in town. ' ~

Propose to Consolidate.
Considerable interest is manifest as to
what the result will be in the proposed
concentration of the various city Olli-
ces under one roof. It is hinted that
the present clerk of the board of water
commissronsrs will resign and that his
successor has already been picked out.
The water commissioners have met a
committee of the cOuncilmen and pro-
posed charges have been discussed.
No definite actiOn has been taken, how-
ever, and it is not believed that there
will be until the nex’t meeting of the
council. A proposition that the City
clerk’s and the water commissioners
Offices be transferred to

CHEROKEES PROTEST.
THe Conclusions of the Dawes Commission
Do Not Satisfy Them.
WASHINGTON, Jun. 14.—-—The delegates
of the Cherokee Indian Nation who are
, now here have left with the president and
with Secretary Smith a memorial protest-
ing against the conclusions of the Dawes
commission. In this the delegates say:
“The commission judged us from afar
without a hearing from us and condemned
us out of the mouths of our enemies.
They attempted to induce the Cherokee
people to make certain changes looking to
ultimate statehood and again using as an
inducement and argument the final and
complete removal of intruders from our
country. We hold our lands and money
in common, and in the light of past expe-
‘riencc it would be criminal on our part to
enter into further negotiations until we
are prepared to definitely determine for
placed in full possession. Otherwise end-
less litigation would be the result and the
outcome easily foretold. The full blooded
Cherokees, as a. class, would be reduced to
destitution and buggery. No action on
the part of the Cherokees can be reasona-
' bly anticipated until this vexed question
is first settled.
“Mr. President, your Official acts and
public uttcyunccs on behalf of the weak
and defenseless nations inspire our people

they are honorably dealt with, and that
their treaty rights are protcctm .” .

Alachua. The posse riddled the house
with bullets, but did not injure Jordan,-
Who returned the fire. Finally the posse
resolved to set fire to the house, thinking
the flames would drive the negro out,
when he would be easily captured. Tho
torch was applied in- several places, and
soon the house was enveloped in flames.
The negro, however, made no effort to es-
cnpe. He stationed himself in the center
of the burning building and fired his rifle
repeatedly in a vain effort to kill some of
his pursuors. When the roof fell in, he
was burned by blazing debris. Jordan
was known as a bail negro, having killed,

fails to properly nourish the organs
