Capt. Ike Overruled.
In the matter of the'Telford road
vcontroversy,_the issue was in efi'ect set-
ftled Saturday by Selectmen Thomes
<and Merrill taking the bits in their '
=teeth and reducing Capt. Ike to the
iranks.
Mr. Merrill had up to that time stood
resolutely by Capt. Ike, whose position
Icrsely stated-was, that he was governed
iiirdiis refusal to act, by the opinion of
'7' the:1=town’s counsel, that the desired
._ highway improvement could not be
~ {legally carried forward as voted at town
.. meetings, because cf it being located
"within the city limits of South Norwalk.
Personally, he claims, he was in favor
- of the improvement and only refused to
carryout the votes of the town, he-
cause he knew of no other safe course,
yet-hon to obey the advice of the town’s
“attorney.
In this opinion Mr. Merrillconcurred,
up to Saturday, when as he claims he
.experienced a change of heart, and felt
“convinced that the people wanted the
road built, had repeatedly voted their
willingnesss to pay the, cest of the same
and with the guarantee cfiicially given
.by the city or South Norwalk that the
"stow—n shall be madegood for any loss it
may incur, he felt it his duty to join
;Mr. Thomes in carrying out the pee-
r'ple’s will in the matter. He therefore
.now proposes to join Selectman Themes
in an immediate commencement of the
much desired road improvement.
In further justification of his opposi-
l-‘tion despite this change of front on
the part of Mr. Merrill, Capt. Ike puts
{in our own hands a copy. of Sunday’s
‘New York Herald, in which its Hartford
correspondent makes clear and positive
statements in regard to this road in."-
provement law and its limitations, as to
cities, which greatly encourages Capt.
"Ike in hisposition. We quote as fol-
lows:
“The-Good Roads bill finally passed,
‘rwas acompromise, an experiment. It
=allows the State to spend$75,000 a year,
uncluding everything, expenses of the
Board of Highway Commissioners, sur-
vey, material and work. This sum is
to be divided among towns which them-
selves vote to spend at least $1,000.
When a town so votes the‘ucounty must
chip in as much as the town has appro-
priated, and then the State divides up
the $75,000 a year among them. Cities
team have none of the money to use with-
in their limits.” * * * *
“It suggested the employment of
”local inspectors and Governor Ct fiin
approved. Then Comptroller Mead did
not hesitate to tell the Board and His
Excellency that no bills for local in-
spectors would be paid. Spring came,
but the arguments of the Governor and
'of the Board failed to move Mr. Mead
more the door to the Treasury. There-
vupon Governor Cofiin came out with' a
letter in which he declared that the
State work could not be done satisfac-
ntorily without local inspectors. * *
After consultation with his counsel,
’=-George P. McLean, Comptroller Mead
.a-epied that such expenditure would be
illegal. The question was so serious
't’iat Comptroller Mead withheld his
.rzinal answer till he could run down to
his home, which is in “Sam” h’essen-
dcn’s bailiwick. Mr. Mead on his re-
--turn to the capital on Tuesday an-
nounced that he should adhere to his
(«original interpretation on the law and
._ snot pay local inspectors.”

Councilman Ferris called up the Tel-
ford road matter and stated, that Se

city was willing to grade part of the
new road the town would grade its part
and thus carry the Telford to Stewart
avenue, 9. distance of 500 feet farther

Messrs. Ferris and Hatch, which called
forth a short, sharp and earnest speech
from Mr. Pearson, who said that if the
city did not appr opriatethe paltryamount

by the crty to obtain the road, they
would be committing an unpardonable
error. The matter was finally deferred
until the nexs meeting.
Councilman Kendall from the com-

also called the artntion of the council

son were appointed to investigate and
present the must feasible plan for plac-
ing the street in a sanitary condition.
The health inspector was authorized to
begin his inspection at once.
The committee on lights called atten-‘
tion to the fact that the electric light
ordered placed near the 'l‘t’ashingttin

The police committée was called
upon and Mr. Pearson announced that
there had been a saving of $56 15 in the
police department during the month of
April. He also called attention to the
vacancy in the office of captain of

The Mayor thereupon nominated ofiicer
Gladstone and the ballots Were pre-

WOMEN AS LINGUISTS.
The Arc Quick to Learn But Lose in
Profund’ity.
One of our university lights who is
deeply interested in the study of Ian-
guages, declares that what woman
loses in profandisy she gains in quick-
ness. She execls in tact, and extricates
herself from a difficulty with astonish-
ing adroitncss. In language she is
more apt than man. Girls learn to
speak earlier than boys, and old women
are more talkative than old men:
Among the unedhcated the wife can
express herself more intelligently than
the‘husband. Experience in coeduca-
cational institutions shows that women
are more faithful and punctilious than
men, and at least equally apt. In col-
leges where a. record of standing is
kept the women gain probably a. some-
what higher average. In the years im-
mediately following graduation the
men make much greater intellectual
progress. Women reach their mental
maturity at an earlier age and develop
relatively less after maturity. In many
kinds of routine work,‘ especially that
requiring patience, women are superior,
but they are less liable to endure pro-
tracted overwork. We have seen that
woman is less modified physically than
man and varies less from the average.
The same is true mentally. lVomen
are more alike than men and more nor-
mal, as it were. The geniuses have
been men 'for the most part; so have the
cranks. Woman’s thought pursues old'
rather than new lines. Her tendency
is toward reproduction,whilc man’s'is
toward production. \‘(oman loves the
old, the tried, and the customary. . She
is conservative and acts as society’s
bulunce-whéol. Man represents varia.
tion. IIc reforms, explores, thinks out
a. new way. -

TO ABDUCT LINCOLN.
A Bold Plot of Wilkes Booth’s That Mis-
carried by More Accident.
About the middle of March, 1865,
word was received from those along the
“underground route” that the roads
and the time were propitious for un-
dertaking the‘abduction, and that the
horses would be held in readiness for
the relays, Accordingly, at Mrs. Sur—
i'utt’s Booth‘assemblcd his assistants,
John H. Surratt, Payne, Atzerodt, Her-
old,O’Laughlin and Arnold, all mounted
'for the kidnaping.
Between two and three o’clock in the
afternoon they left the house and made
for the Seventh street road, where it.-
was reported that the president would
pass that evening on his way to the
Seventh street hospital. -
Mr. Lincoln would frequently ride out
to the soldiers’ home on the Seventh
street road, entirely unguarded, or, if
in a carriage, with only a driver, much
against the protestations of his friends,
who were fearful for .his safety. The
coach of the president was to be seized
in a secluded spot on the road near the
city, and Surrutt was to jump on the
box (as he was more familiar with the
roads) and to make for “T. B.,” a. col-
lection of two or three houses and
stores on the “underground route,”
about 22 miles southeast of Washing-
ton, and thence to the Potomac. The
carriage was to be abandoned us soon
as the city limits were passed. Relays
of fast horses were in readiness, and
the boat‘ at Port- Tobbaco was
prepared to cross the river.
As the distance from Washington to
Port Tobacco creek was about 40 miles.
the intention was to make the entire
trip the first night, and, crossing the
iiver, to be within the lines of the cou-
federacy at the expiration of 21 hours.
The plan was not so ridiculously ub-
surd as at first glance it appears. It
was not a difficult. matter at that time.
to pass the pickets stationed at the
navy y'ird bridge, and once in the
country, where friends were. willing,
fresh horses ready, and federal sol-
diers few, the chances of reaching the
Potomac in safety were not unfavor.
able.
The plot failed because Mr. Lincoln
did not go out on the Seventh street
road on the afternoon expected, Secre-
tary Chase going in his stead. Booth
and his companions returned to Mrs.
Surratt‘s disappointed, disgusted and
enraged. Such a favorable opportuni-
ty would not likely occur again, and
the conspirators disbanded. Surratt
went to Richmond, Arnold secured .1.
position at Old Point (near Fort Mon-
roe) ztnd O’Laughlin returned to Balti-

ing further developments, living at

'ii‘ POWER OF A PIANIST.
Pounds of Strength Expanded in Striking
a Note Heavily.
It requires more force to sound a. note
gently on a. piano than to lift the lid of
a, kettle. A German composer has fig-
ured that the minimum pressure of the
finger playing pianissimo is equal to
one hundred and ten grams—a quarter
of a pound. Few kettle lids weigh
more than two ounces, says the Musical
Courier. ,
The German’s calculations are easy
to verify if one takes a. small handful
of coins and piles them on a. key of the
piano. When a. sufficient quantity is
piled on tounake a note sound they may
then be weighed and these figures will
be found to be true.
If the pianist is playing fortissimo a.
much greater force is needed. At times
a force of six pounds is thrown upon a
single key to produce a. solitary effect.
With chords the force is generally
spreadover the various notes sounded
simultaneously, though a. greater out-
put of force is undoubtedly expended.
This is what gives pianists the wonder-
ful strength in their fingers so often
commented on. A story used to be told
of Paderewski that he could crack a
. pane of French plate glass half an inch
thick merely by placing one hand upon
it, as if upon a. piano keyboard, and
striking sharply with his middle finger.
Chopin’s last study in C minor has a.
passage which takes two minutes and
five seconds to play. The total pres-
sure brought to bear on this, it is esti-
mated. is equal to three full tons. ~ The
average “tonnage” of an hour’s piano
playing of Chopin’s music varies from
twelve to eighty-four tons.

.. BALLAST FROM DUCKS.
A Scientific Discovery That Elucidated a
' . Puzzling Mystery. ‘
“Few people credit 3. duckwith the
sense he really possesses,” said Fred
Ozenne,- a. disciple of Nimrod. ‘ “For
. years I had been wondering What had
caused the presence of a good-sized peb-
ble bank on the shore of the lake in the
Grandivola section of the Louisiana
marsh. Had it been a. sand bank I could
have understood it, but it was composed
of pebbles, all very much alike, rounded
and smooth almost to a size, and appar-
ently differing from the small stones
found in the gravel beds of the south.
Several of the hunters in that section
had seen the pebble beach and, like my—
self, they could not understand it. All
winter long it seemed fresher than at
other times, and during the summer
the grass would kinder cover its upper
portion and the mud from the fresh
water dim the luster of the stones near
the edge. There was not another beach
like it in the marsh.
“One Winter, in fact, it was just when
the first cold spell‘ had struck 135, I was
hunting with a. friend in the lake I
spoke of. It was one of the finest duck- ’
ing spots in the state. This was before
they had begun to make glue from the
eggs in Canada. When we reached the
lake there was not a duck to be seen.
The next morning I was hiding in the
grass near the pebble beach when I
heard a sound of wings and a large flock
of mallard settled near me. Before I
could raise my gun the entire lot walked
out on the pebble bank. and to my aston-
ishment, began to diisgorge a lot of
small stones like the ones already there. ;
This oCcupied but. a short time, and the :
flock began quacking and sailed into the
lake, and I shot several. This settled
the mystery of the pebble beach. In
the spring I was again hunting in the _
lake. mien the firstwarm weather came
the ducks began to go home. They
would come to the beach; and after a
few preliminaries swallow a lot of peb-f
bles, then fly around for a; minute in
order to see if their balance was all
right- If they were ‘too heavy they
would disgoi‘ge a. few stones, or, if too
light swallow a. half-dozen more.
“I found. by observation that in order
for the ducks to make long flights it
was necessary for them to fill up with
a certain number of stones to secure a
proper equilibrium for the return trip.
After I found this out I always had
plenty of game to show my friends.”—

TIES OF BROTH ERHOOD.
They Are Often. Very Irksome, Says Nov-
elist; Howells.
Perhaps one reason why people dis-
like the notion of human brotherhood
so much is because the ties of kindred
are often made so irksome. Society
holds you to account for your brother's
behavior, and even for his character, as
if you had invented it, or at least fri-
vored it; and his-children can bring your
children to shame by their misconduct,
though they. may never have seen one
another. ,
_ It is‘ hardly enough, on the other
hand, that you receive a sort of reflected
glory from your brother’s excellence 01'
celebrity; you arc then expected to live
up to him, and that may be another
hardship if you. have not. his talent or
temperament.
You feel that you are fitly answerable
for your son, in a measure, though his
great-grandfather on the other side, if
he could be got at, might‘Sometirnes
be much more justly made to suffer;
but you do not feel that you are fitly an—
swerable for your brother. and you feel
that it is cruel of society to hold you so.
If he is stupid or tiresome, people will
shrink from you, as if you pui‘took of his
character because you partake of his
origin. Often you do partake of his
character. Brothers are often alike;
but often they are intensely unlike. in.
tastes, habits, manners, dispositions,
temperaments. Often you shall be truly
the brother of a man whom you have
met rather late in life, and whom you
like because he is of kindred nature,
While in your heart you may fail to like
the brother who is merely of kindred
origin. Yet if one allowed the ”brother
of one’s blood to come to want or dis-
grace, society would hold one infamous.
If it were the brother of one‘s soul, so—
ciety would have nothing to say—W.

and as she generally wears a. thick veil
her identity is seldom revealed. Her
great royal highness does not care about
festivities and particularly dislikes the
official ceremonies of the court, such as

duchess is never so happy as when she.
is in tire nursery with her tWo little

that she inherits all the home instincts
of her mother, princess of Wales. The
