Build Torpedo Boats.
This is good time for the advocates of
. tor'pedo boats for coast defense to come
to the front; The deficit inthe rev-
enues is likely to make Congress
\ cautious about voting large appropria-
tions fornew battle ships. Even if
several of these armored giants are
authorizeduit will be at least three
years before they can be completed.
Butit’is possible to build fast sea-
“, going torpedo craft in six months, and
there are fully a ~dozen shipbuilding
establishments in the United States
capable of turning them out. Twenty
of these wasps OE ocean warfare can be
constructed for the sum of money
that: it- takes to create a single battle
ship. l'l‘hcre is not a battle ship afloat
that could live under the concerted at-
tack of twenty torpedo boats.
The czuutry meeds more big armor-
clads, but it needs the cheap and ef-
fective torpedo vessels also. Germany
has more than a hundred of these agile
craft. England has one hundred and
eighty. The United States possesses
barely three. ._ . 7
Congress should provide for the con-
struction of a whole flotilla of torpedo
boats before the session ends.

flew York and Philadelphia.
TheCitv of Philadelphia is congratu-
lating itself on the fact that it. is far
behind New York in the matter of debt
and stillmore ahead Of that city in' va-
rious Stunt that‘cc‘d’duce to solid and
permanent prosperity. The annual rc-'
port of the Comptroller of New York
shows the total funded; debt to have
advanced inst year from $173,991,081 to
sisassssos, an increase of $11,597,516.
The sinking fund has increased from
$69,912,260 to $75,703,087, again of $55,-
790,837, which makes the not funded
debt amount to $109,885,509, as against
$104,070,820 a year before, the increase
being $5,806,689. This proves that re-
form, like most other good things, is
costly. The assessed valuation of real
estate for 1895 was $1,'646,’02,655, and
this showing puts the debt limit of the
city, under the constitution, at $64,602,-
855. It will be seen that there is still
the comfortable margin of about fifty-
five millions before the borrowing limit
will be reached. There is, also, an easy
way of extending the limit, all that is
required being a larger assessment,
which increased value of ,property
wouldjdstify. The census taken, last
7 April gives the population at 1,851,060,
and the number of uninhabited houses
at 87,291.
The Philadelphia Times gives ‘
much better showing” fOr that City. It
putst’he total debt at $55,474,315, less
$20,257,650 of city securities in the
sinking fund, which givesa real debt
01535,216,605 on an assessed valuation
pf $780,149,612 and at»: rate of $1.85.
The police census Of ' 1892 is the latest
and such cuumeration‘s are seldom relia-
ble. It puts the population at 1,142,
653. But"‘a conservative estimate” of
the growth of the city for the-past four
years Will, it is believed, bring these
figures up to 1,250,000.
But the'm'ost Important element of
Philadelphia’s solidity is found in the
fact that the city has 209,400 dwelling
houises. Few of these .are very costly,
“a
I . structures, but all ijthem are homes,
anda large proportion of them are own'
ed by their occupants. NewYOrk and
Chicago combined do not show as many
dwelling houses as Philadephia, and no
. other‘great City in the United Sates has
so 'thifty a worki ng population. ‘

' Have Parents'lllo Rights Which Teachers
Must Respect.
Last winter the GAzn'rcrn printed a
letter written by Principal Foote, of
South Norwalk, to Mrs“. A. S. Ferris
after the principal had sent her son
home from school because he wore
rubberboots. At that time comment
was made on the dictatorial methods
111 vogue at the Franklin street. school
~ and it was suggested that it was about
time the School Visitors, as well as the
district committee, took some cogni-
zance of the matter. It seems that
nothing was done, however, towards
rectifying the arbitrary actions of the
teachers and they have "ruled the
toast” to please themselves.
The following letter in yesterday’s.
Sentinel from a. well known gentleman
hits the nail so squarely upon the head
that we publish it herewith.
Editor of the Sentinel: On _last Fri-
day afternoon several boys, including
mv son, were sent home from the Frank-
lid street school because they wore.
rubber boots, and-were told to get
shoes or slippers to wear in place of the
rubber boots in the school room. On
my refusal to let him take shoes,_ and
sending a note to his teacher explaining
my reason for refusing, he was sent .to
Mr. Foote He refused to allow him
to stay, and excused him for the rest of
the day. One of the boys was .a small
'boy, Colored and poor, two .thlngs de-
cidedly against him in some people s
mind, but more reason In my mind that
he should not have been sent home. .
In a Conversation with Mr. Foote the
next day I asked him if my son would
be allowed to stay if I sent him _to
school Monday without shoes or slip-
pers, and he said that he would not.
The reason-he gave for the rule he had
made was that “Wearing rubber boots
in the warm room “caused the feet to
perspire and that the odor that arose
from the warm rubber and sweaty feet
was not only very diagreeable, but un-
healthy to the other pupils, and wear-
ing the boots was very injurious to the
pupil wearing them.” _ ' . _
I began to make inquiries to see if it
as»
certained: Three of our leading phys-
cians said the Odor that might arise
.from'the rubber boots would not, 1n
their opinion, injure anyone; that,
while the wearing of rubber boots made
the wearer more liable to catch cold,
still they did not think it- particularly
dangerous. Oystermen, who, as we all
know, wear rubber boots a great deal,
tell me that as long as you keep the
boots on your feet, there will be no
odor from them, even in every hotroom,
but as soon as you take them off a very
strong odor comes from them.
On further inquiry I ascertained that
the boys, on taking off their boots,
stood them beside their seats in the
school room. That, Mr. Editor, ex-
plains where the very bad Odor comes
from that Mr. Foote complains Of. I
have called the attention of the district
committee to the matter, and they have
told me that they have made no such
rule,—but have not, as yet, informed
me whether they will uphold the rule
or not. ,
Now, Mr. Editor, the reason .I have
written you the above and taken the
stand I have is not becausemy son was
one of those sent home after his shoes,
but because I think it high time the
parents of this district had something
to say about their rights. Has it come
to such a pass that the parents have no
longer the right to say what their chil-
dren shall wear? When we send them
to school are we not the judges of what
is best for them to wear to prevent
them from- catching cold ? Must we
send them with an extra pair of shoes or
slippers to wear in the school room and
run the risk of losing one or both of
the shoes or slippers, justbecause some-
one has a whim that the rubber boots
are unhealthy and smell disageeable?
'May I not ask the question. Who are
the servants and who the master? It
seems to me that it is time the teachers
of our public schools understood that
question,‘and if they don’t like our con-
ditions let them quit find let us have
some that do.
I believe the parents still have some
rights that the teachers are bound to_
respect, and as a parent and taxpayer I
insist that it is high time that the
teachers understood it.

Wallace Felham Tries to Kill
Himself at Sound Beach.
Formerly Lived in South Norwalk.
Wallace Pelham, aged 30 years, a son.
Of Marcus Pelham, a former chief of
police in South Norwalk. attempted to
kill himself by cutting his throat with
a razor Tuesday night, at his home in
Sound Beach. _ ,
His wife Went into the bedroom and
found him lying on. the bed, his black
outer shirt opened at the throat. She
noticed a band about his‘neck' that
looked 'like a piece of red flannel, and
she lifted his whiskers to, see what it
was. She then discovered the true
nature of the affair. The razor-cuts
were on the left side of the throat, ex-
tending from beneath the car part way
around the throat, and had been done
with the right hand. The razor was
lying on the bed at his right side. He
had committed the deed without utter-
ing a sound. . .
Dr. B. W. Bohannan'was summoned
and dressed the wounds, and it is be-
lieved that Pelham will recover.
He is reported as having said, “I
alone was to blame. I got tired of liv-
ing and wanted a change. I intended
to kill myself but didn’t succeed I am
sorry now, but a deed once done can’t
be helped." -
Mrs. Pelham says that he must have
been crazy at the time or he would not
have done it. He has been troubled,
more or less, with headaches since she
married him, last February, and dur-
-ing the past week his sufferings from
that source were more severe than
usual.
Pelham at one time lived in South
Norwalk with his Wife and children.
About three years ago, his wife, who
had become despondent because of do-
mestic infelicity, attempted suicide in
the harbor. She was rescued, however.
The couple parted, and Pclham went to
live with his parents. The Wife brought
suit for divorce. '
One day, nearly three years,‘ ago,
Wallace Pelham departed from South
Norwalk, and simultaneously with his
disappearance it was discovered that his
father’s gold watch, his mother’s jewel-
ry, a. sum. of money and a lot of proper-
ty belonging to a family living in the
same house, were missing. It isj said
that Pelham the elder reficovemd his
watch subsequently. The man has not
been seen in town for a long time.

Henry Petit’s well-known play,
“Hands Across the Sea,” will be the
attraction at Hey t’s Theatre next Thurs-

melodramas of the time, and its draw-
ing powers never relax. The role of
Jack rDudley is in the clever and capa-

which he created in the first American
production of the play. The settings
are picturesque, and the mechanical

was taken before the Judge, who fined
him $25 for resistance to officers, $5 for

costs, amounted to $46.08. The pris-
oner settled up and was discharged.

TheMeaslé‘sk .' -
In their Monthly Bulletin the State
Board'of Health has this to say in
reference to the epidemic'of measles:
“It is more difficult. to take precau-
tions against its spread than in other
diseases, because it is more contagious
than most others, and because it is con-
tagious even before it has advanced
encugh to be diagnosed. It is contag-
dous in the incipient stage, before it
can be recognized as measles. . In gen-‘
eral it is not a fatal disease of itself.
Still it is a disease much to be dreaded,
because the subjects of it are rendered
much more susceptible to other dis-
eases. The childrenwho have it re-
cover from‘the disease itself, but many
of them do not regain their former
health, and ithas been often observed
that the measles was the starting point
of some other disease which eventually
proved fatal.” '

There is two distinct features of in-
terest in connection with yesterday’s
debate on the pension bill in the House.
The first was a reply, made in an ear-
nest spirit and in earnest words, to Mr.
Hemenway by Gen. Walker, of Vir-
ginia. Gen. Walker was the successor
of Stonewall Jackson in comm-1nd of
the Stonewall Brigade in the Confeder-
ate army, but he is now a Republican,
and is the only Republican Congress~
man elected in Virginia. Mr. Hemen-
w'ay, in a speech on the subject Of pen-
sions iu the House, declared that when
the next Republican President was
elected no Southern man would be
named to beJCommissionor of Pensions.
Gen. Walker declared there wasa mis-
apprehension of the feeling and the
sentiment of the Southern people and
the Southern soldiers toward pensions
for the men who ‘I'Oughr. for the Union.
There, was no sentiment against the
pension policy Of the government in
the South, and he aciured his Republi-
can friends of the North that the for-
tunes and pensions of the Union soldiers
WOuld be safe in the hands Of the sold-
iers of theySouth. His remarks were
vociferously applauded.
o O o
The other feature Of interest was a
passionate speech made by Amos Cum-
mings, of New York, at the close of the
session. In a series of repudiations he
severely scored the remarks made by
his colleague, Mr. Bartlett, in which
the latter characterized the extension
Of pension legislation°as a “looting Of
the Treasury.” Mr. Cummings repudi-
ated the remarks of'Mr. Bartlett on be-
half of the people of New York, Repubj
licans as well as Democrats; on behalf
Of the Union soldiers, on behalf of
widows and orphans, and finally and
emphatically, on behalf of Tammany
Hall. His remarks formed a bitter ar-
rangement Of the Pension Office. He
declared that it was time some radical
action was taken to call a halt on that
office. The Old soldiers and the poor
widows were standing in hourly ex-
pectation that something cowardly
would strike them. from the Pension
Office. They were being stabbed in
the back from a quarter from which
they should expect nothing but justice.
He said that if the government needed
money it had better make the Peeific
railroads disgourge than out Off deserv-
ing pensioners. This was wildly ap-
