The contest for the EVENING GA-

goes a change to-day in favor of Hope
Hose company. Ever since April 6th
last, the Norwalk Yacht Club has lead
the contestants. To-‘day, however,
Hope Hose company passes it’s most
dangerous rival and again heads the
list. It is true that Hope holds the lead
by a narrow majority, but the tire lad-

defeated will go down with colors fly-

Senator Ouay’s Visit.
Senator: Quay’s vistt to candidate
McKinley last week, clearly indicates
that in the Senator’s view of the situa-
tion, McKinley’s nomination is more
than probable, and that Quay is quite
likely to accept the nomination of . the
Ohio favorite in the most graceful man-
ner. There is little likelihood that
there will be any bargain between
them, but it is more than likely that
McKinley and Quay understand each
other very thoroughly after their con-
,ference at Canton.
tl‘here are no two party managers in
{the country who can so readily and
\cheerfully fall into line when it be-
.comes a necessity, and who when they
find they absolutely ‘can’t have their
-way, so promptly conclude that it isn’t
._best-t-liey should, as Quay and Platt.

/ 'Overcrowding School Studies.
The New York‘Tr-ibune thus calls at-
tention to a most prevalent and lament-
able evil connected with present sys-
tems of free school l-lucatiou as pre-
vailing in many pin/Jars. The Tribune
says that all intelligent persons who
have obseerd and reflected upon the
work of the public schools will agree
With Superintendent Skinner’s conclu-
«sion that there is narrowing tendency
‘to overcrowdcourses of study, that the
schools are trying to cover too much
ground within a specified time, that
this policy tends toward superficiality,
and consequently to «deprive the child-
ren of theirbest chance to acquire the
mental equipment which they are sure
to need in after life. Reading, writing
and arithmetic, though that triple al-
liance has long furnished the material
for a jocular contrast between the old
and new in education, are still the most
important branches of the common
school curriculum and always will be.

, A Notable Educator.
:The'possibility that President Gilman
of the J ohus Hopkins University, may
be elected Superintendent of Public
Schools in the NGW'YOI‘k which is soon
' to be Greater New York and the big-
gest city on the American continent,
has stirred up the trustees of the uni-
versity to a vigorous effort to retain
him.
It is not to he wondered at that the
authorities of the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity do not want to lose their presi-
‘dent,f0r he has proved not only an effi-
cient educator in the technical sense of
the term, but a valuable administrator
and organizer as well. It will be easier
to lose him than to fill his place with as
competent a man.
The school system of greater New
.York affords a wider field for the display
of President Gllman’s peculiar qualifi-
cations as an orginizing educator, and
if he is elected to. the place he will
probably “cat-pl. it for this reason. No
better opportunity can be offered any
man to stamp his individuality upon an
organized public school system, which,
if made what it deserves to be, will be
largely imitated in all sections of the
country.

The Catholic Pilgrimage.
The pilgrimage of American CathoJ
lies to Rome this summer is expected to
be larger than ever before. There will
be two sections sailing J 11119 24and July
8. They will. meet at Antwerp and on
the way to Rome visit the shrines of
Padua, Loretto and Lourdes. At Rome
the Rev..Dr. W. H. O’Connell, the new
rector of the American College, as the
‘representative of the Americanflhierar-
rive in 'Rome on Saturday, August 1,
under the guidance of the Rev. W. P.
Smith, S. P. M., the spiritual director,
and F. H. ThIOOp. That evening they
lwill be given a reception in the hall of
the American College, in the Via del
Umiita. Elaborate preparations are.
being made for this. The headquarters
of the pilgrims will be at the college
during their stay in Rome. The Pope
will say mass for them on Sunday,
August-2, in the Sistine chapel at eight
o’clock in the morning, after which
they will be received by him in special
audience.
No one but the members of the pil-
grimage will be admitted to this core-
mony. A request was made to Cardi-
nal Satolli the other day to be the
cicerone who would present them to
the Pepe. The Cardinal has answered
that it would give him much pleasure
to do so, but that he has not yet re-
ceived his recall to Rome so could not,
therefore, promise to be at the Vatican
on the day on which their visit is to be
made. Cardinal Gibbons and Arch-
bishop Corrigan warmly approves the
pilgrimage. A large United States flag
will be carried by the pilgrims, in-
scribed with the dates 1894, 1895 and
1896. They will also take two regula-
tion size flags, with all the new stars in
them, as a present to the Pope. These
will all be of the finest silk. They will
be hung in the Vatican. The pilgrims
will also have a Papal flag. .

The County Commissioners came
here yesterday and held a hearing on

Search warrants were issued by Pros-
ecuting Attorney Bacon Wakeman for
the saloon of William Williams, of
Saugatuck, and George Underwood, of
the Westport hotel. on complaint of
some suspicious persons who imagined
that these gentlemen were selling in-
toxicating liquors unlawfully. The
warrants were placed in the hands of
Sherifi‘s Charles Stagg, of Strut-ford,
Wallace B. Bulkley, of Fairfield, and
Fred Kemper, of Westport. At Mr.
Williams’ saloon 13 bottles of lager
were found but Mr. Williams claims
this was for his own household use.
At the hotel nothing but temperance
drinks were found. Probably nothing
further will be done in the matter un-
less it can be proven that Mr. Williams
has sold liquors. He will appear before
Justice Hyatt on the 29th of May.

“Does slavery survive in England?”
asks the London Christian World, and
this is the answer: “After reading
Saturday’s ‘special’ number of the
‘Schoolmaster’ on the subject of ‘Hnlf-
timers,’ we find it difficult to answer
that question in the negative. An in-
spector writes: ‘I examined a child
who rose at 5:30, worked at a. mill, and
then walked a. couple of miles to exami-
nation. Another girl of eleven. rose
soon after 5 a. m. and walked through
the frost and énow nearly two miles to
the mill. Work commenced at 6 and
continued till 8:30, when there was an
interval for breakfast—the child not
leaving the mill. At 9 work again till
12:30’——six hours in all—‘and then din-
ner at the mill. .At 1:30 the child
trudged off to school.’ How many
British children are liable to this sort
,of experience? Not less than 170,000!
Shame on us!” Such facts are a. shame

New Jersey is one of the indications of
the overweening confidence Manhattan-

thing else in. the western hemisphere,”
remarked a. life insurance man just re-
turned from that village.»
“I’ve understood,” responded the re-
porter, “that C01,. Ingeisoll' was very
much disgusted on one occasion when
he stated his very radical views on the
existence of a. certain place to an as-
semblage of New. Yorkers, and some
one in the audience sung out: ‘What
difference does that make? We’ve got
New Jersey!’ ”- ‘

at it, too. Now, let me tell you what

an attorney in the Mills building when .
the most dilapidated-looking specimen
of physical wreck came in that anybody
ever saw. He was on one crutch, with
his foot inn. slipper and his arm in a
sling, one eye in a. blinder and his face
looked likea. map of Cuba. Limping up
to the attorney he bowed and said:
“ ‘Excuse .me; I have been directed
to this office, and I wish to inquire if
you will take an accident insurance
case for me?’ .
“ ‘Certainly,’ responded the attorney,
‘if we can consistently do so. Sit down
and tell me what. it is and what you want
done.’
“ ‘I want to force the company to pay
me what it agreed to when I took out a.
policy,’ said the visitor, as he painfully
got himself down into the chair.
“ ‘Does it refuse to pay you ?’ in-
quired the attorney, as he gazed in sur-
prise at the wreck before him.
“ ‘It does.’
“ ‘How were you injured?’
“ ‘In a. runaway.’
“ ‘By any negligence of your'own ?’
“ ‘ilone whatever. It. was a. hired
team driven by the owner himself:
“ ‘On what ground does the company
refuse to pay?’
“ ‘On one of its by-laws or something
which says: ‘This insurance covers in-
juries received only in the civilized lim-
its of the globe.’ . ‘

“The attorney’s entire

“ ‘Oh, ah—um—er,’ he hesitated, ‘I
beg your pardon, but really I’m afraid
we can’t do anything for you in the New
York courts,’ and two hours later," con-
cluded the insurance man, “I met that

alone over ten thousand dogs are so en-

less than fifty thousand. Generations
of servitude have made the Belgian dog
a race apart. For his size he is said to
possess the greatest pulling power of
