' 'Goods —— Sweaters, Justice Baldwin, of the Supreme Court, has handed down a decision in the case of State vs. Isaac D. Smith, who sold milk in the city of Bridgeport without a license, in defiance of an or- dinance by the Board of Councilmen requiring it. The decision holds that the public statutes leave the business of a milkman open to all, and that the right to license the pursuit of a lawful business, when conferred upon 'a mu- nicipal corporation, as in a charter, cannot be extended by any doubtful implication, thus disposing of a claim that the act was authorized by the city charter. This decision no doubt nulli- fies the South Nor-walk city ordinance. - Miss Dodge’s Condition Improving.

LONDON, May .‘33.~The house of com- mons was still sitting at noon, having been in continuous session since 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. -‘ ' Mr. Balfour, the govcrzmtsnt leader,'re- fused to adjourn until the agricultural rating bill had passed the committee stage. The Radicals moved a good many amendments to the bill, and those. after discussion, were brought to a vote by closure, with the result of their rejection by a vote of 192 to 64. . - The clauses were then adopted in their entirety by the same majority. Sir William Harcourt. the leader of the opposition. at 7 o’clock this morning pro- tested against Mr. Balfour’s high handed use of closure, which, be said, had been a sinister feature of the conduct of business in the house since the opening of the ses- sion. _ This declaration was received with cheers by the opposition and caused a great uproar among the ministerial mem- bers. . Mr. Henry Broadhurst, Liberal, at 9 o'cloak this morning asked that the house adjourn for two hours in order to enable members to get breakfast, the larder of the house of commons kitchen having be- come exhausted, but Mr. Balfour refused to agree to this. The attendance of members increased during the forenoon. The amendment to clause 7 was rejected by a vote of 208 to 77 and clauses 7 and 8 were adopted at 1 o’clock. The house adjourned at 1:30 p. 111. During the sitting 33 divisions were taken. When the agricultural rating bill passed the committee, the cheering was loud and long. The adjournment was taken until June 1. THE KURDISH' MASSACRES. The Pitiable Condition of Thousands of the Refugees at Zeitun. BOSTON, May 23.—Although several months have elapsed since the Kurdish massacres in Armenia took. place, and al- though thousands of dollars have been dis- tributed in relief of the distressed inhab- itants, correspondence at hand from Zei- tun states that there are still between 12,- 000 and 14,000 refugees in that city who, having been compelled to flee from their homes, were able to save nothing of their prcperty and are now a heavy burden upon the small city. ’ The condition of the refugees is pitiable in the extreme. In addition to pressing want. disease is prevalent, and from 10 to 20 die every day. It is estimated that there are now 4,000 cases in Zeitun in need of medical attention. Yet there is only one competent physician in the place. A hospital with 50 beds has been fitted up. The cots were filled as soon as they were ready and hundreds have been refused ad— I mission. Typhus fever and dysentery are the diseases most prevalent. In addition to financial relief, the committees and missionaries are doing what they can among the sick. Medicines have been dis- tributed and the sanitary conditions have been rendered as healthful as possible. Still, all that has been done, say writers on the scene, is almost inconsiderable in view of the great want. It is stated that $40,000 would hardly be adequate to relieve the present want of the people and tide over till next harvest those who are now in want as the resul of Turkish depredations. , ' The Insurrection In Crete. CONSTANTINOPLE. May 23.—-The news from Crete is of the gravest character.

The stoicism of the. North American Indian is proverbial. In the. long ago when one tribe warred against another, » Indian prisoners were accustomed to stand torture without fiinching. =The race may have degenerated, but its re- markable characteristic is still con- spicuous. A story told by a western citizen to a. WashingtonStar reporter furnishes a- good illustration of the in- difference with ‘which even the Indian 'of tO-day views death: “In the Choc- taw Indian nation there is- no jail in I which convicted murderers are con- fined,” said he. “When I first went to the Indian territory I settled in. the Choctaw nation, and hearing that a. cer- tain Indian was an excellent hand on the ranch, I hunted him up and asked him if he would work for me. ‘I will work until the 20th Of next; month," he said. ‘Why not longer?’ I inquired. ‘I am to be hanged the zlst,’ was his re- ply, in an uncOncerned way. I hired him, and upon inquiry learned that what he said was true. But one man has ever failed to return for hanging after he has been sentenced, and my Indian did not prove an exception to the rule. On the day before the execu~ tion was to take place he left as calmly as though going on a visit, and the hang- ing took place at the time appointed. Notwithstanding his approaching doom the Indian made one of the best ranch- ers I ever saw, and I regretted. to lose him.” AN ENGINEER'S LUCK. Locates a Ledge or Free Gold from His Cab Window. J. Bowlan, an engineer in the employ of the Burlington Railroad company, recently made a. good ore “find” in a. curious manner. His route is‘over the line which runs through the very heart of the Black Hills. On his trips up and down the road he'noticed at a. point two or three miles north of Roch- ford a. ledge that cropped out at the sur- face near an Open out. He finally be- came convinced that the appearance of the rock bore a striking resemblance to. some rich ore he had previously seen in another part of the Black Hills. He told a practical miner named Pete Nelson of his discovery and induced himto lo- cate the ground, agreeing that if Nelson did this he would let him in as an equal partner. Nelson accordingly located the property under the name of the Olga group, taking up four claims in the location. A sample was secured from the ledge and taken to an assayer. After testing the ore in the customary chemi- cals, What was at first supposed by the assayer to be, iron pyrites proved to be free gold in large deposits through the rock. The owners are jubilant over their good fortune, and have already refused a good Offer for an interest. The ledge can. be traced 1,000 feet, and x. .-........ -. 2. ..,._,_:- ' ~ wmmms. ; 4‘ Fast—Proof Not Lacking. Everybody has it. .That Tired Feeling. , Don’t know what it"means.

Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have well-de- veloped lake systems, and even Massa- chusetts and Connecticut have a. few small natural lakes. Northwestern New Jersey has a. sort of lake system;‘ so has northwestern Iowa. North Da- kota’s lake system is part of the larger system embracing northern Minnesota. and neighboring parts of. British Amer- ica. South Dakota, east of the Mis- souri, has a, lake system that extends into the edge of Nebraska. Washing- .ton, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. have lake systems more or less interrelated.

Southern Georgia. shares the extensive Florida lake sys- tem, or rather systems, as the Florida. lakes have more than one watershed.
