Will Norwalk Follow?
The patriotic citizens of New Rochelle
on Saturday,dedica-ted a beautiful sold-
‘iers’ monument. 0f the speakers,
brave "Dan” Sickles and “Dan” But-
terfield, uttered. eloquent and impress-
ive eulogies on the heroic dead of that
town who gave their lives for the Union.
A daughter of the late daring and
«dashing Lieut. Cashing, the conspicu-
«ons Naval hero of the war, pulled the
«cord that held the unveiling colors.
The beautiful thirty feet granite shaft,
is surmounted by an infantry color
vbearer.
When, oh when, will Norwalk thus
anchor her heroic dead ?
For Better Roads.
A high official of the Street Railway
"company endorses all the Gaznrru has
'pleaded for the improvement of Wall
street, and authorizes the statement
tthat his company is not only ready but
[earnestly desirous of doing its part of
the paving between and beside their
tracks. .
Not only that but it will pave its quota
with vitrified brick, claimed to be the
most durable and in all respects the
Thirst paving material for city streets.
guys-{devised Our city laws ought to
,\,- provide, but do not, for assessing one-
third’. the cost of all such street improve-
~. ments on the opposite adjoining proper-
‘s ty holders,and thus providing for two—
i
‘ thirds the cost. The other third should
“be mime-til» of the city treasury. This
astutergouu be wise and just and is in
“‘i‘rogue in most cities.
Wall street, from the postofl‘ice to
Mill Hill, is more travelled than any
other equal space oi highmiy in o’ur
city, and yet it is in the very worst con-
dition of any. It is greatly worse than
was Main street when that was ordered
-repaved. The condition of Wall street is
«a disgrace to Noi Walk enterprise, public
-=.spirit and citizenship. Will not our
.-city authorities awake to the public
mead and the almost universal demand
for the immediate improvement of this
. street.
Halt Butcher Weyler.
--0rna Milton, a citizen of Kansas
’ICity, Missouri, was one of the five pris-
ioners captured by the Spaniards on
tboard the schooner Competitor, and
who, along with his associates, has been
aeummarily tried by a drum-head court-
martial and condemned to be executed.
This is a case for the promptest and
:most heroic action on the part of our
«government. Mr. Milton is undeniably
an American citizen, and he was not
{taken in arms against the Spanish
Government.
He was, therefore, clearly entitled to
a civil trial and the attempt to take his
elite by drum-head court-martial should
wbe halted by our government regardless
aof consequences.
.It is high time that the fiendish butch-
eiies of Captain General Weyler should
Else halted in Cuba, and our government
--.now has the opportunity presented to
intervene and go even beyond the safety
voi Orna Milton. ' He is entitled to the
dullest protection and every doubt
fishould be resolved in his favor in de-
ciding the duty of the government to
intervene in his behalf. If Spain shall
..choose to make it an act of war, let the
'responsibility be on Spain.

For some years past it has been the

second-raters or aspirants to the cham-
pionship were granted a large im-
munity. But the moment a really

whole machinery of the-law was set
win motion against him, and virtuous
indignation blazed in the oflicial bosom

or at least a more honest and consistent,
dispensation. The Horton law, which

During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin,
of- Long Beach, West Va, contracted a
severe cold which left him with a cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until I bought a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me
almost instantly, and in a short time brought
about a complete cure.” When troubled with
a cough or cold use this remedy and you
will not find it necessary to try severalykinds
before you get relief. It has been in the
market for over twenty years and constantly
grown in favor and po ularity. For sale at
25 and 50 cents per ottle by E. P. Weed,

A Snake-Haunted Tract‘lndiu.

snakes, and beasts, duly considering
What terrible bugbears they are to
stay-at-homes. An old poet has told us
not to Whistle till we are well clear of
the wood; “but whistle ye merrily to
yourselves,” I soliloquized, “all ye
who range the byways of a. snake-
haunted tract. Sing somewhat loudly,
'by the way; let there be melody
not in your hearts only, but on your
lips. Thus shall ye prove yourselves
very lords of creation. From the notes
of your hymn shall each lewd beast
and unclean reptile flee away, affright-
ed and amazed!” Would that I had
practiced what I mused on in silence;
for, even as I mused, the swish of
a rattan rang sharp behind, and, look-
ing back, I saw my boy fell a, deadly
serpent to the earth. I had stepped
clean over him! It was a great escape.
My pyjamas were tucked up to the
knee, and if the brute had had time to
coil and strike, my bare legs lay at the
mercy of his merciless fangs. He had
been lying at full length in a rut, be-
tween some logs transversely placed in
a boggy bit of way, and 1, walking
past noiselessly in rubber-soled shoes,
had caught him napping. —Good Words.

ive of nature in its pristine purity. 1

gustingly cheap. —N. Y. Weekly.
