Love Laughs at Restraints.
The refusal of the younger Cornelius
to permit the youngest Cornelius to
marry the girl of his choice and the de-
termination of the latter to do so any-
way, even if he has to work for a litih-g
afterwards, is good evidence that both
have inherited the more conspidi‘i‘dfiim
traits of the original Cornelius. the old
Commodore.
Lake State Presidents.
Of the twenty-three who have been
Presidentsof the Unised States, eleven
of them have come from states border-
ing on the Great Lakes. New York has
furnished Martin Van Buren, Millard
- Fillmore, Chester A. Arthur and Gr over
lQleveland, Pennsylvania James Bu-
channan, Ohio William Henry Harri-
son,,R. B. Hayes and James A. Garfield
lbdiana Benjamin Harrison and Illinois
Abraham Lincoln and Ulysus S. Grant.
_The Lake states have also been prolific
in candidates for President and Vice
President of which New York has had
its full allots. These statistics should
gig? béfirt of William McKinley with
icy, and it may here be noted that Ohio
has always contributed a winner. As a
daughter of Connection , Ohio has be-
.come a lusty mother of Presidents,
which gives our gallant old'state the
distinguished honor being the grand-
mother of Presidents.

The Crank and His Pistol.
” The shooting cf a New York‘bank
president in hiszolfice, by a rufflaifirhh ,
first demanded money, is one of those
incidents whose disquieting efi'ectfs not
confined to very rich men.__Mr. Wyc-
koff was not a shining light of plutoc-
racy. There was nothing about him to
attract the'particular attent’on of the
criminal or the crank, as in the case of
Russell Sage. He was not even the
the head of a ramarkab‘y rich institu-
tion. He'was simply a plain, average
bank officer, attending quietly to h’s
busmess at his desk, wi h no more ap-
parent liability tJ sssasinatian than any
other decent citizen.
The man who shot him was assumed to
be a “crank,” an assumption supported
‘ by the futility of his performance and
the fact that he followed it by shooting
hims 19", which has s‘nce proved fatal.
But the written demand for money
was quite methodical and cold-bloc ied
and it is not imp )ssible to imagine its
success. In any e .se this kind cf mod-
ern insanity bears s3 close a resem-
blance to old-f ishioned crime that it
seems to require coresponding treat-
ment. .
The uncom‘otsble feature of it is
that it walksin the noonday.§The in-
ner ofiice of a bank inl a great city
during busint-ss hours would be thought
as secure a place as one could have. At
night in a lonely street, or in {a remote
country house, a man might be pre-
pared le‘ attack; in a place like this it
would not enter his mind. Ye‘. 'most
business men in this cluntry dislike to
surround themselves with :any formal-
ity, and can be as easily approached at
their desks as Mr. Wyckofi' was, by any
scoundrcl sufficiently courageous.
O
Yale at Henley.
It is pleasant to hear of theilwelcome
given to .thefiYale crew by the ‘Mayor
and Aldermen of the pleasant town on
the banks of the Thames, remarks the
Herald. Our boys were met by the
municipal authorities on their arrival
at the station, the Mayor made a speech,
everybody was introduced and the best
feeling was shoWn on both sides.
That is a good beginning, and in view
of some things which happened laSt
.year and of Cornell’s misfortunes, and
of what was said by some of the English
sporting papers we rejoice in, it the
more. Atthe same time it is well _to
remember that Yale has her work cut
out for her. She will have to meet,
and will delight to meet, some. of the
strongest crews in England. She will
row in unf imiliar Waters, over 9. scores
much shortLer than those to which she
is used. Her men have to go through
a process of acclimatization, for which
they have allowed themselves about
three weeks, apd they have to train on
a new diet. .
. Henley,‘to‘be‘:¥nre, and New Haven
are bot-h relaxing climates. The stroke
to be rbwed is a new stroke and the
business of steering aracinz eight on
the Thames, with its mysterious cur-
rents and eddies and changing waters,
is not to be mastered all at once.
We shall do well, therefore, not to
expect too much. Yale is making a gal-
lant efi‘ort and only experience can
show whether she has undertaken too
much. One advantage she has. She
has Mr. “Bob” Cook, wh), twenty
years ago or more, went to England to
learn how to row, came back and taught
his lesson to Yale and has been her
rowing Mentor ever since. Her almost
constant victories since are his work,
and we can only hope that he and his
crew are about to win another, the
most brilliant of all.

sx-Pnlsonsns OF WAR.
Meet in Stamford and Elect Delegates to
National Convention.
The quarterly meeting of the Fair-
field County Ass )ciation of Union Ex-
prisoners of War was held in Minor
Post rooms, Stamford, Tuesday. night.
Norwalk and Bridgeport were repre-
sented. The most important business
of the meeting Was the election of dele-
gates and‘ alternates to the national
convention to be held in Annapolis in
September.
By the ratio of one delegate and al-
ternate for every twenty-five members
or a fraction over half thereof, the con-
vention was entitled to three, but it was
decided to send only two delegates and
two alternates. Col. Henry Boss of
Mt. Vernon nominated Comrade W. H.
Bitch of Stamford as a delegate. The.
latter declined. Col. Hues was then
proposed, but, he declining, the name
of Capt. J. A. Fessenden was heard.
The lat‘er declinel on account of the
fact thathe was a prisoner only two
minutes, and would rather see e)me
other comade more deserving than he
have the honor. Col. Ross was finally
prevailed upon to accept. Comrade J.
H. Smith, another Park City ex-prison-
er, although absent, was elected a dele-
gate. ComradesW. H. Bitch of Stem-
ford and F. W. Perry of Norwalk were
elected alternates. Three comrades,
who act with the President and Secre-
tary as an executive committee, were
appointed as follows: William Cuddle,
Norwalk; G. B. Christison, Stamford;
Austin '5. Nichols, Bridgeport.
The President was given power to fill
all vacancies. F. W. Perry stated that
a comrade in a dying condition lay in
a ward of the Soldiers’ Home at Noro-
ton and offered a motion that, when
death occurred, the charter be draped
in mourning for thirty days following.
Upon motion of Comrade Bitch it
.WAS decided to hold a picnic or general
raunion at Roton Point on Labor Day,
where the ex- prisoners and their fam-
ilies could assemble and have an out-
ing. Foilo wing the meeting, all sat
down to a repast such as is only served
in Minor Post rboms, after which there
were speeches and vocal selections by a
quartette. ‘
Q
Burger’s Whereabouts Known.
The Los Angeles Times says that the
whereabouts of Edward Burger, form-
erly of Broad River, who recently mar-
ried Mrs. A L. Hord, of Los Angeles,
is known to the police. Burger skipped
out of Norwalk some time s‘nce, leav-
ing Mrs. Burger No.2 penniless, going
to CaliforniaI where he committed big.
amv by marrying Mrs. Hord.
In speaking of Burger, Mrs. Burger
No. 3 says: “Burger tried to get ._me
to mortgage my furniture to give him
meney, but I would not do so; I did
get $75 on it for him, but that is all.
He never paid a dollar of house rent
and made me contract debts, knowing
that my credit'was good; All these he
left me to pay, and when he fiund out
he could get no money from me, be de-
serted me. I loved him once, tut my
love for him is dead. I’ll prosecute
him to the fu‘l extent 0? th: law if he
can be it did. I will not let him dupe
another innOceut wuman, as he has
done me.”

spots like drops of mortar, which came off in
