We observe the matter of ‘welcOming and honoring this‘anniversary is mere and more widely imitated as the years go on; This year New York’s Superintendent of public instruction, Mr. Charles R. Skinner, has made arrangements for patriotic exercises in all the public schools of the State next Monday. That's right. If our Connecticut schools let themselves be outdone in patriotism by New York’s, it will be the first time. Do something by way of celebration, says the Conrant, if only to sing “My Country, ’Tisflof Thee.” Hang out the flags next Monday, everybody, in honor of the Star Spangled Banner’s one hun- dred and nineteenth birthday. \—-———OOb———————— Who Is My Neighbor? A certain lawyer asked Jesus what he should do to inherit eternal life, and, partly answering this question himse'f, said that it was written in the law: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.” Jams approved of this, and the law- yer: mag the inquiry: “Who is my neighbor?" Then came the effective reply contained in the story 0f the man who went down to Jericho and fell among thieves. That same question, “Who is my neighbor?” is a very puzzling one, even attire present time, and the interpreta- tions put upon it are almost as many as the sands Of the ocean, most of them being made so as to conform to our own _ personal convenience or inclination. ‘ But the interpret”? m. placed upon it by Christie the only true one, and if we walk in that path we cannot fill to arrive at the promised shelter. Our neighbor is not necessarily the man who lives in case and luxury, Whose house is a palace and whose garments are of purple and. fine linen; who has everything that money can buy, and who never knows what it is to be cold or hungry or in distress; who has many servants to wait upon him, to anticipate his lightest wish and to run here and there at his nod and bidding. Our neighbor is not always the man who has a big bank account, ships on every sea, cattle on a thousand hills, and stocks and bonds and mortgages without a limit; who basks in a scented summer; upon whose head no winds blow harshly, and who has no wounds that tester with the crawling years. Our neighbor is not the whman whose life is free from every shade of care who dwells in the roseate bowers of love, and to whom all the dainty and lux- urious ministers of life are proud to bowin homage; whose cheeks are al- ways radiant with health and whose eyes are never dimmed with tears of despair. But our neighbor is the man who, wan and worn, toils on from morn to night for a bare pittance; who, weak and feeble, goes stumbling along through life; who is often under the heel of oppresion, often half starved, hollow-eyed and hollow-checked; friendless, often homeless, sick, and in dire extremity of grief; who lies prone upon the rugged ways of life in dread agony of soul and fearful pain of body, and who is left to perish in his loneli- ness and grief, seemingly deserted by God and man. Our neighbor is the man who is beg- ging for a morsel of bread to keep him alive; who is sh1vering in his rags and wretchedness; who is in some hospital racked Twith pain and praying mutely for death; who looks outupon the world through prison bars, victim, perhaps to the crimes and sins and Indifference of the community, or to the relentless absurbi‘ty of the law that makes crimi~ lnals by the thousand and then punishes them. ’ Our neighbor is the poor little sewing - girl up in the attic, who starves rather p whiteness of her soul; whose heart is so‘ . full of anguish that she Cannot weep; than soil her womanhood or stain the .1 whose life is one long round of grim en- durance, over which a frowning sky bends, and upon which only the icy winds of horror and despair ever blow. Our neighbor is the woman who has fallen a" victim to the treachery of man, and whose hands have been beaten from their feeble hold on respectability - by her own sisters, perhaps, who hound her down into hell while honoring the fiend who caused her ruin;- These are our neighbors—all those who suffer and faint and die; all those who moan and grieve and whose gaping wounds of soul andbody appall the sight. " . I _ I , These are our neighbors—all those who hunger and thirst and ceaseless hang upon a brutal cross; .all those who are oppressed all those who in a Chris- tian country and under a Christian government tremble at the tread of wealth and power; who stand moaning on the furnace fires of affliction; are hopeless at the assaults of want and crime and sin and whose dim eyes can no longer see the light. - ' Let us not, like the priest and the Levite, pass them by on the other side. —--v-—-—¢ O At the Churches.

With the loss of appetite, the system cannot long sustain itself. Thus the fortifications of good health are broken down and the system is liable to attacks of d;sease. It is in such cases that the medicinal powers of Hood’s Sarsapar_ illa are clearly shown. Thousands who have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla testify to its great merits as a purifier of the blood, its powers to restore and sharpen the appetite and promote a healthy ac- tion of the digestive organs. Thus it is, not what we say but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does that tells the story and constitutes the strongest recom- mendation that can be urged for any medicine. Why not take Hood’s Sar- saparilla now? ->——-—— WESTPORT. Miss Jennie Thorpe has resumed her position in the post office. The Rev. Mr. Wakeman and his bride arrived in Westport yesterday. The Railroad commissioners will give a hearing at the Westport station June 19,'_on the petition of the selectmeu of Westport that the location of Ferry lane be changed.

Immediately after the cer- emony he went to Texas, vowing he would never return. Mutual friends say they have not met since their wed- ding night. ' V The public test of the Pierce-Murphy third-rail system was a grand success. I. L. Willets, of New York city, ran the car several times over the section. There was quite a number of capitalists and electricians present and all united in the fact that the test was not only successful but quite a surprise to all present. The car in one test was run ata high rate of speed and reversed without stopping, and the reversing of the controller stopped the car in less than half its own length, and it started back in great shape. This test was re- peated several times. , Desposit, Md., and whose life (was de- spaired Of by reason of her being pois- ened from eating ice cream, has recov- ered, and is expected home for her sum- mer vacation next week. ’ers of the Norwalk Fire Insurance comg Miss Mary Bennett of this place,‘a~ teacher in the Toms institute at Port 7'HEREAND THERE An 'EnitomeEppenings tr Interest to the Public.

WAS $USPECTED.- He Had Been’Too Long Among Civilized People to'lnsplre Confidence. "' A sojourn of over a. month in the east had made Bronco Bob no less an object of suspicion among his old'com- panions than he had been a lion during his visit. But a place was made for him at the card table, where the usual game of draw poker was in progress: “Gimme a stack 0’ red chips,” he said, carelessly. , He was accommodated and the game proceeded in silence. , - . “I don’t see ez he talks no different," said Pluto Pete, in awhispcr to the man next to him. ‘ : “J ist wait,” said Three-Fingered Sam. “It’ll come out sooner or later.

Pluto Pete shoved in the requisite number of chips and queried; “Whutcher got?” “Nothin’ much,” was Bronco Bob’s nonchalant reply. “Jest a red flush, all hearts.” ' * Three-Fingered Sam had pulled his gun in a jiffy. : ' ‘ ' “Look here,” he said, in ahusky voice, “ye’ve bin mixin’ weth the elight an’ dawdlin’ weth the cream delly cream, but yer might ez well understand thet ef yer settin’ out ter start a four hun- dred in this settlement ye’ll hev ter git along without the other 399.” - .~ .. z;- “Whutcher mean?” asked Broncho BOD. . n, 1 win-m “Whut I mean iS thet cf ye’re tryin’ ter ring in a. pink tea. unbeknownst we‘re dead onter ye an’ we won’t stand it.”—-Detroit Free Press. “is; SAVED HIS MONEY. Sharp Tricks Played by an Arizona Law- yer on a Stage Robber. While Tom Fitch, the crater and politician, was practicing law in Tomb- stone, A. T., he had occasion to visit Phoenix. On the way there the stage was held up by a lone highwayman, 'who not only robbed the mail and ex- press box, but searched all of the passengers. The fellow found about $2,000 in the express box and Fitch lost $100, besides a gold watch and chain. . While still in Phoenix the robber was captured, and hearing that Fit-ch was in, town sent for him. Fitch’s face ap- peared familiar, but the highwayman had forgotten where he had seen it, and Fitchsaid nothing about the matter. “What will you defend me for?” he asked. “Well, I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” said ,,Fitch. “I’ll defend you for $500, but I’ll agree to get you out and free onga writ of .habeas corpus for $200.” “All right; it’s ago.” The fellow told Fitch where his money was cOncealed, and the attorney found it. As soon as he had it safely stowed away in his gripsack he started home for Tombstone, and left the rob~ ber to take care of himself. A couple of months later Fitch was nearly frightened out of his wits to see the robber walk into his office. “I see you recognize me,” said he, “but you needn’t feel alarmed. You robbed me—” “Yes, but you robbed me first,” cx- claim-ed Fitch. “I was on that stage.” “Well, I didn’t come to reproach you for anything of the sort. I have escaped from jail, and all I want. is money enough to get back to my old home in Pennsylvania, where I will lead an hon- est life.” “Why, certainly, my boy,” declared Fitch. “Wait right here till I can go to the bank and get it.” Fitch returned a'moment later with the sheriff and saved $lOO.——San Fran- cisco Post. A Dismaycd Hostess. It was Miss Katie Rooney’s first ap- pearance as table girl when company had been invited to dinner, but it was company upon Whom the mistress wish ed to make the best impression pos- sible. Katie was overflowing with rol- licking Irish spirits and humor, but it had been emphatically impressed upon her that She must curb these propensi- ties during the progress .of the dinner, and be the embodiment of quiet dignity. All went well until Katie went- to remove the soup plates when she carelessly sent a stream of soup over the back of one of the gentlemen. Instead Of manifest- ing the least dismay or chagrin, Katie clapped her free hand to her grinning mouth and said, with an indescribable chuckle, and in a .hOairse but painfully distinct whisper to her mistress: “Ain’t- 01 a dandy, mum?” Then she shot out of the dining-room, giving utterance to a wild howl of rollicking laughter as she ram—Detroit Free Press. ~.\ .- Unelaimed Letters. following lrtters remain no- the Norwalk Post Office.
