Righteous lndigination.
Rev. Mr. Watkins in his morning ser-
mon yesterday on Charity expressed
his abhorrence of the cruel inhumanity
of our to wu forcing tramps to sleep in
a freezing cold cellar; that while most
of these may be “a bad lot,"..yet many
anong them, are victims of misfortune
and all should be treated with Christian
charity for they are men with human
bodies and souls and no civilized com-
munity should leave them to suffer and
perish in heathenish barbarity. The
good pastor’s several criticisms were
evidently received with hearty approval
by his large congregation.
Yes, send them across to Meeker’s
wood yard and make them work for
the cold comfort given them, but do
not deny any human wreck or unfor-
tunate humane treatment, this‘ should
be the vox populi of Norwalk, as it is
J
vox Dei.
Ash Wednesday and Lent.
With the advent of next Wednesday,
known in the church calendar as Ash
Wednesday, the season of Lent will be-
gin, and fashionable society will array
itSelf in :clicloth and for the nonce will
abandon amusement and frivolity for
inorirfication tand prayer. Whatever
may he said§of this practice as an eccle-
siastical custom, it is :1 most wholesome
one viewed from other standpoints. It
teaches individuals the invaluable les-
son of self-denial and self-control, and
enforces upon them the old truth that
“life is real, life is earnest,” and has
its duties as well as its privileges. ‘In
_this modern, workaday world, with its
mad rush for gain and eager search for
pleasure, it is well that a certain por-
tion is set apart for deeds of self-abno-
s ation'and for reflection. The spiritual,
like the physical man, needs its period
1 f recuperation.
O
Let Him Resign.
The News on Saturday again endeav-
m ed to imbue Captain Joseph Lane
Colegrove with the idea that he is to be
retained upon the South Norwalk police
force, the Mayor and Robert Roosevelt
Pearson to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. This is all wrong and Editor
-’.odemeyer should not attempt to pre-
vent the Captain from handing in his
resignation which he is no doubt an-
Xious to do, but is prevented by the
assurances of his retention held out to
him by the News. ‘
The lengthy petition in behalf of the
Captain Will have great weight with the
Council, for the reason that the signers
know exactly how efficient the Captain
is and what complaints have been made
against him.
We would suggest that the News dis-
continue its "jolly” of Captain Joseph
Lane Colegrove and allow him to hand
in his resignation, which we understand
is already signed, to Robert Roosevelt
Pearson and thus ease the public mind.
Will Inspect.
Fire inspector D. Hartley Weeks will
this week make an inspection of all of
the manufactories in this city. Don’t
be surpril'cd if he calls on you today.
Mr. Weeks proposes being thorough in
his duties.

Sad Mistake Made by a Short—Sighted
Bishop in England.
There is a. hat story in which a well-
known bishop and a. lately-deceased
marquis played leading parts. The mar-
quis, who married a Gaiety chorus girl,
and, generally speaking, lived up to the
high standard of his marriage life, was
accustomed to wear a particular style
of hot, shorter than that favored by
most men. One day, says the St. James
Budget, he went into his hatmaker’s
in Piccadilly and asked for a. new one to
be made. The shopwalker took the hat,
and walked down to the far end of the
shop to give the requisite instructions,
leav' ing the hailess marquis standing' in
the $110111“ this moment there enter ed
the short- -sightcd bishop of X, also in
want of a. new headgear, He saw only
a small man, who might have passed for
a shopkeeper, standing staring at him.
So he took his peculiar hat off his head
and went up to him. “Do you think,
my good man,” he said, persuasively,
“that you have a. hot like that?” he
marquis loolzcd at him for a moment,
speechless with indignation, while the
shopkeeper, seeing what. was amiss,
hurried up as first as he could. Unfor-
tunately, the marquis found his voice
before the hot. man reached his client.
“No,” he said giving the bishop back
his headgear ‘ I liavcn’ t got a hat lik
that, and if I had I’m blowed if IVV ould
VV am it!”

Navel Qranges.
It has been, shown that the tanger-

varieties are formed through the effort
of the orange to make a. secondary
growth at the apex of the original one,
only that it failed to make any original
at all. In other words, the tangerine
orange is a. well-developed secondary
fruit. How this can be brought about
may be readily understood by carefully
examining the oranges known in the
market as the navel variety. In these
cases a. small orange can often be found
at the apex, sometimes of considerable
size. When the small one is largely
developed and the larger one wholly

WHY THE BABY DIED.
Its Elaborate Clothes Were Too Great a’
Strain.
This interesting story of. the royal
layette reminds me of another story,
perhaps because it is so very unlike.
Once there was a little woman who lived
across the street, and, as we are often
more or less the victim of the people
across the street—the people who watch
our doings WW 1 theii noses flattened
against window panes or concealed be-
hind luce draperies that little woman

Every day she dressed the baby three

and put on its three o’clock locket every
afternoon. Every time that wretched
baby had on a. clean dress it grew more
limp and more listless. One day she
told one of the neighbors from across
the street that she anticipated taking
the baby to Ohio to see its grandmother.

persecuted baby, I shall always think
that be reflected upon the number of
times he would have to exhibit the lace
gowns, and then, as the easiest way out
the difficulty, he just laid down and
died.
When the neighbors from across the
street called to express their sympathy,
the heart-broken mother was a sad and
hopeless heap in the'middle of the floor,
surrounded by that fateful layette. As
she gathered up a lace garment to dry
her tears, she sobbed aloud:

Natural Soft Soap in Puddles.
’ A party of gentlemen from the cast.
who have been hunting and fishing for
the past month in the Big Horn moun-
tains and basin met while there with
a. pertinent illustration of the natural
marvels of the great central west. This
was nothing less than the discovery of
a. series of pits, or vats, of natural soft-
soap, the excellent quality of the prod-
uct showing that old Dame Nature is
well competent, when in the mood, to
hold up fully the end of her string as a
housewife. These natural soft-coup
pits, seven in number and having an
average capacity of about 1,000 gallons,
are scattered over an area of two or
three acres of alkali land, situated just
below the mouths of half a dozen hot
springs and two large springsof prac-
tically pure lubricating oil. The water
from the hot springs and the oil drain-
age combining with each other and act-
ing on the alkali deposit constitute a
natural soap manufactory, he 1.1 oduct
of which is gathered in the adjacent
series of earth cavities or pits. Just
below the pits themselves is a. wide
tract of spongiest marsh soil in whose
depths the soft-soap surplus is ab-
sorbed. The product' is perfectly mar-
ketable, and in the coming commercial
development of the Big Horn basin
there will'doubtless be a natural soft-
soap syndicateL—Denver News.
