As the changing of the name of Tryon avenue appears to worry the Hour edi- tor more than the interested parties, the EVENING GAZETTE would suggest that our city fathers in order to settle the matter,christen it"‘Hour Avenue.” While this melodious name might cause a stampede among the residents of that avenue, it would without doubt further swell the editor’s bump of con- ceit and perhaps silence the Isaac street public nuisance. ‘ His Fall. We are deeply pained to chronicle the'fall from grace of Editor Rodemeyer of the News. ~ That genial gentleman has withstood the severest temptation ever placed upon an editor, for many months, but at last he has departed from the straight and narrow path and fallen bag and baggage, shooting stick and mallet, bicycle and bloomers, full into the camp of the circulation liars who are as thick in Norwalk as Tammany braves in New York. When we read his “Can’t Deliver the Goods,” we applauded, knowing that he correctly stated the facts, but the following from his pen in yesterday’s News leads us to believe that as a presi- dential election is soon to be launched our friend has “been seen” by the QEme‘: “The Daily News circulates ten times as many copies every day as all the other newspapers in the State of Connecticut put together in a whole year. This paper isn’t given to bragging and never told a lie in its life, but it thinks that with a little practice to wear off its modesty and strangle its conscience, it might hope to reach at least third place in the local race, in those particular accomplishments.” It may be that our old friend is “cod- ding” as it were, simply giving the News advertisers a cold bluff similar to that put forth by his contemporaries in order to catch unwary advertisers, but be this as it may we are grieved to see his fall. However, Editor Rodemeyer will have the satisfaction of knowing that his truly honest statement entitles him to a seat away up in front with Barab- has on the one side and the young Bar- rabbes on the other and ably supported in the rearby “Willis.” -.- A PHYSIC AN FINED. Neglected to Report Vital Statistics. Dr. C. R. Hexamer of Stamford was arrested last week. in that city for vio- lation of the laws in regard to, filing vital statistics with the town clerk. The pharge against him was failure to file a birth certificate. He pleaded 'guilty in the Stamford city court before Judge Dawns. A fine of $10 and costs was imposed and judgment was sus- pended. The court in passing sentence said that there was no desire to make it hard for the doctor, but the law must be enforced. As it was the first offence, however, judgment would be suspended. This is the first arrest made in this state under the law in relation to vital The doctors of this county as in all the others, have been very lax in complying with the provisions of the statute. County Health Officer George E. Hill has repeatedly warned the medical men of this county that they must comply with the law and he only decided to take more vigorous measures when warnings ceased to be of any use. Attorney Hill hopes that this arrest of Dr. Hexamer will be a warning to others who have been very remiss. If they ‘continue to forget the law they will have a warrant read to them some day inviting them to appear in court and explain. 0a Whist Players. Mrs. Edwin O. Keeler will entertain the FridayiAfternoon Whist club at her residence on Mott avenue, to-morrow afternoon.

Roentgen ray experiments have cre- ated so great a demand for Crookes tubes- that an unusual scarcity of these devices is the result. Reports from several sources indicate that a. very large amount of electric railway work will be begun with spring weather. .A large proportion of this work is to be installed in the west. ’ A statistician estimates that the total length of the telegraph, lines of the world is 004,701 miles, while the entire extent of wire employed on the sameis 2,682,583 miles, or enough to encircle the globe at the equator rather more than 107 times. According to Prof. Sylvanus Thomp- son, when electric arc light hisses, the carbon, melted from one of the rods, is actually boiling in the little crater formed in the end of the rod. The su- perheated liquid, with blinding flashes of. light, moves and jumps about very much, as water does on beginning to boil. . The pictures made by the Roentgen rays are still without a. generally agreed upon name, skotograph, shadowgraph and electrograph being among the number used by different experi- menters. The Electrical Review sug- gests what appears to be a sensible and appropriate namé for them, namely: “ Iadiogrnph.” Prof. Woodworth, of Michigan ag- ricultural college, has been making ex- periments in killing weeds by electrici- ty, which shows that the new method is both cheap and effective. A wheelr burrow or wagon is loaded with storage batteries from which long wires trail along the ground. The wagon is then taken over the land to be cleared, and wherever the wire touches a weed it is instantly killed clear down to the roots. if THE GOLF CRAZE. Eastern society’s devotion to golf is deep-rooted. Besides the several finc golf courses at the country clubs 21 number of people have private links on their estates. ‘ Theodore Havcmeycr is credited with having given more golf prizes than any other men, while there is hardly a mem- ber of his family who has not walked off with a golf prize at some time. The correct golfing gowns are made with Norfolk jacket and ankle-length skirt topped by a. Tam O’Shanter cap. Favorite gowns are of black cloth trimmed with blue velvet, hunter’s green, blue, gray and brown. .. The model clubhouse for golfers in this country is the one at. Newport. Besides golf provision is made for steeplechasing and polo. All the “swells” belong to it. The site on which the clubhouse stands is claimed to be unequaled, even by English clubs. English girls are winning laurels at golf and have abandoned nearly every other form of outdoor Sport in favor of it. Mrs. Rider Haggard puts up a good game and usually wins in any tourna- mentin which she takes part. Prin- cess Beatrice is captain of the Isle of Wight'Ladies’ Golf club and sometimes indulges in the sport. . ' VFOREIGN GOSSIP. Queensland, in Australia, had a rain- fall ofi26 inches from one storm lately. The Russian soldier is more heavily burdened than any other. A foot. sol- dier in the army of the cznr carries over 68 pounds. _, During the last. two decades over 6,000 miles of railway have been built in Mex- ico, connecting every important city and creating a. revolution in traffic and trade. Brugsch Bey’s monument has been set up in the Louisa cemetery in Berlin. It is the rose-colored stone cover of a sarcophagus 3,000 .years old, found at Sakkara, in which is set a bronze relief of the Egyptologist’s head. Columbus, who did many good things, carried the knowledge of cocoa to Eu- rope, and it soon become common in Spain. It was introduced to England in 1657, and about the beginning of the 18th century chocolate, which is a prep- aration from the same plant, became fashionable there. ODD AND PECULIAR. There were 40 more divorces than there were weddings in Fresno, (‘31., last year. a i A new set of natural teeth are push- ing through the long-smooth gums of 84-year~old Uncle Jake Lawrence, of Uniontown, Ky. Out of 50,000 men who tried to enter the English army last year, 15,000 were rejected, chiefly on account ' of bad sight, bad teeth or flat feet. The only rocking-chair in the neigh- borhood of Marcellus, Mich, 60 years ago, was owned by Eli Ridgly. It was loaned for miles around to sick neigh- bors. The chair is still in use. GATHERED HERE AND THERE. New York women spend more on lress than any women in the world. ll’hysiologists say that among Eng- lish-speaking people brown hair pre- -..~2'\“' -'.~'—='-j':\i_'- r dominates. There are in this country over 80 na- tional trades unions, with a membership of about 500,000. Edison prophesies that in ten years horseless carriages will be the rule and horse—propelled vehicles the exception. Ships of war are usually fitted with lightning conductors, a precaution ren- dered necessary by the explosives stored away in their magazines. ABOUT DREAMS. Fighting in a dream means that you will soon suffer much loss of property. Combing‘ your hair in a dream be- token-s success in love, or trade, or both. ‘ Seeing an Indian in a dream presages a fertunate' speculation in real estate. To dream of eating good bread means that you will soon be happily married. To dream of an anchor indicates some unexpected success or’ good for-' tune. ' » ' / . Sosnitza, in Upper Silesia, has a sleep- ing girl who, in her waking intervals, divulgcs » communications which she professes to have received directly from the Virgin. Thousands of people flock to see the miracle, and the police at- thorities also have her under observa- tion. . A. Parisian had the remains of his rother cremated. The ashes were put in a leather bag, and sent by rail to the , brother’s home. The bag was mislaid, and suit has been instituted by' the brother against the railroad company for the value of the dead 'man’s ashes.
