General Walker.
The late General Walker who died so
suddenly in Barton on Tuesday morn-
ing was one of America’s most notable
scholars and public men and a life-long
personal friend of‘the editor of this
paper.. During the war he was on Gen-
eral Couch’s staff and at Gettysburg,
wasserious‘y wounded in the battle,
and was also. a prisoner of war. He
was a» man of marked ability and
of' rare achievement. He was a stu-
dent, avthinker and a man of affairs.
His talent was largely in practical di-
rections. and it found a fitting field in
his position as head of the Institute of
Technologyof Boston. Here he was
highly enegetic, thoroughly intelligent,
" and evinced a marked capacity for ad.-
ministrative direction. His services in
this sphere have been invaluable, and
it will be difficult, to fill the
vacancy made by his lossJ life was a
man apparently instinct with vitality
and with a capacity for effort that is
notoften equalled. Asa thinker, he
was bold,‘ vigorous and independent.
His first contributions to authorship
were in the newspapers of the land, be
having been cinnected in early life
with the Springfield Republican, where
that remarkable judge of men, the sec-
, and Samuel Bo'wles, fully appreciated
his capacity.
His war record was of the most cred-
itable character. He was the same
strong,,self-reliant man there that he
was throughout life. His contributions
to the study,.of ,nlitical economy are
held in high estimation. He never
failed to give his attention to import-
tant public q‘iestions, and to devote
his best power to information and ar-
gument wiih regard to them. In him
is lost one of the most useful of citizens,
and one who will long be remembered
for the impress of his character ’ upon
the generations in which he lived. I
POOL. 800M RAID—Continued.
indeed,
These men came from New York, New
Rochelle,_Mamaroneck, Portchester and
other way stations. By the time the
train reached Stamford it had aboard
the regular complement of gamblers,
some 250. The detectives had mingled
with these men and conversed with
them without exciting any suspicion.
When Stamford was reached the detec—
tives alighted from the train and in
company with the gamblers walked to
the pool rooms.
As the scene in both rooms was prac-
tically the same a description of but
one, the Eastern News and Money
Transfer company, will be given. Af-
ter passing the doors. without being
q iestioned. the detectives passed a few
,minutes in exrmining the room and
the occupants. [here was nothing
transyiring at first; but not many min-
utes had passed before the secondbet-
ting of the B 1ksdaIe-races was called.
After the odds had been Written. on the
blackboard and thoroughly scanned
the bets were p‘aced. Several. of- the
detectives placed bets, in order to se- '
cure additional evidence.
Avfew minutes passed and'then the
signal agreed-upon wasgiVen’. The de-
tectives made for the office, which was
separated from the main room by a
1ailing snrmounte d- by ground. glass.

stop the men. It Was kicked in and

those in the fear would not stop. from
pushing toward the door. In conse-
quence not a few were bruised.

had the effect of taking all the fight out
of the pool room employee and made
their capture an easy matter. No other
arrests were made. The spectators and
the race players, who were in the main
room were not molested. '
The other pool room was one 11111 by
Michael Fee aey. The crowd in this
room was as large as in the other. The
employee were all captured.

said by those who are in a position to
know that the rooms will be open to-
day as us1al. The places were stripped
of books, slips, blackboards, desks, and
everythingelse that might be ”used. as
evidence. The stuff was carted to the
police headquarters, and will be taken
to Bridgeport to- day.

hip to knee until he used this liniment,
which afforded prompt relief. —B. F. BAKER,

AN EMPHATIG “YES.”
That is the Answer Norwalk Gives.
Not long ago we inquired the condi-
tion of Norwalk’ s citizens. We asked
if' they were troubled with bad breath,
hawking, hemmine, gagging, nausea,
husky voice, dropping into the throat,
bad taste in the mouth, loss of the sen-
ses of taste, smell or hearing, slime in
the throat, weak eyes, matter collect-
ing in the eyes,s s'ounds 1n the ears, ex-
cessive sneezing, scabs 1n the nose, or
pain across the eyes; we asked if they
were subject to frequent colds, head-
aches, backaches‘, side aches, neiiralgia,
itching and burning of the nose, visions
of spots floating before the eyes, and
slaeplessness caused by s ufi'ed head, or
by throat filling on lying down; if they
were troubled with catarrh in any or
all of its forms. And from hundreds of
throats came the answer, "Yes. In
Norwalk more than any other city in
the country, do people suffer from this
humilating disease."
And it can be cured. Five hundred
people' in Norwalk are to day rejoicing.
1n the discovery of the fact that Cali-
fornia Oatarrh Care is the kind that
cures catarrh. And not only from Nor-
walk, bnt from all New England come
words of praise. Hear what Chai‘les
Genereaux, manager of the City lum-
ber company of Woousocket, R. I., re-
cently said: —
“I had catarrh for 25 years and spent
probably 31, 000 for treatment. withn
relief. I suffered much from constantly
recurring severe frontal headaches. A
few months ago I began to use Califor-
nia Catarrh Core, and have not hada
headache since; and as a reliever and
cure of chronic nasal catarrh I believe
California Catarrh Cure has no equal.”
California Oatarrh cure is sold at R.

big bottle for 40 cents, and one three
times as large for one dollar.
