It figs Just Like Him.

After reading the account of E lwaid

Dickerson. the young western lad who

drifted far from home and met with

misfortune in Bridgeport, but was res-

cued from j liI through the kindness

i of Superintendent Birmingham _and

Captain George Arnold,as related on the
l

’

first page, who can say that there is not
yet some goodness left in the world?

The kindness of Captain Arnold in
giving the lad sufficient means to ob-
tain a. dinner and pay his way to New
York was generous, but the faith in his
innocence probably did more to save
some mother’s wandering boy than
any other act the Captain could have
done. It was j'lil‘. like the big hearted
George. '

Lawless Fast Day.

The Rev. Newman Smyth, of Center
church in New Haven, is in fiver of
abolishing Fast Day. Be dec'ined to
read the proclamation of Gov. Cooke
at the church servic J on Sunday, a time
honored custom heretofore never before
broken. Mr. Smyth favors the repeal
of the state law regarding Fast Day and
he considers that the day is a mere sham

 

being given over to too much amuse-
ment. and lawlessness.

Mr ,Smyth should not'be tJO hasty,
sensibly remarks the Bridgeport Post.
Some peOple find amusement in going
to church and some like to go fishing.
There are people who amuse themselves
'with a bicycle-and others who are fond
of a long walk. Amusement is merely
a. relative term. Regarding the alleged
‘ “lawlessness” spoken of by Mr. Smyth
ifho will take the trouble to visit the

 

cities on a Monday morning he will find
that more arrests have been made, on
an average, than on the morning after
Good Friday.

According to Mr. Smyth’s argument
Sunday should be abolished. Statistics
show that the Lord’s Day is given over
to amusemept'and lawlessness fully as
much as Fast Day. Mr. Smyth seems
fond of a diet of mint, anise end cumin.
There are a good many “unreal things
allowed to stand as a religious custom.’

Anna E. Dickinson

, Anna E. Dickinson was at one time
the most:popular woman on the lecture
platform and on the political hustings
ever known on this continent, and the
well earned the distinction.
won by the rfl‘irts of friends or fortui-
tous crcumstances. She forged- ht!
way as, the first wOman on the forum
by her maichless ability and the rare
courage with which she maintained her
convictions. .

A pitiable anti—climax to such a na-
reer occurred in the United States

‘ Court in Scranton a few days ago,
when, afier a protracted legal battle
for the recovery of $50,000. in damages
fer her a1 eged wrongful incarceration
in an insure asylum, the jury rendered
azvadict of six and a quarter cents in
her favor. The case had been tried be-
fore in the same tribunal with a dis~
agreement of the jury.

It is sad, Iindeed, that one of the rare
ability and heroic- qualities of Miss
Anna E. Dickinson should have thus
outlived her usefulness. Her. earnest
struggles as author and actor presented
the first possible failure in her career.
Since then she has never been wholly

 

herself, and her aggressive efforts, often
made with more courage than wisdom,
to maintain the proud position she had
won, have done much to obscure her

' early and grander achievements. She
should be remembered only ash-he Anna
E. Dickinson of a generation ago.

Litigation in a_ Business Firm Settled by
lodge Wheeler To-day.

 

Judge Ralph Wheeler handed down a
deci<ion yesterday,in the suit of J.Allen
Cobb against George E. Keeler of New
Canaan. Judgment is rendered forthe
plaintfi’ to recover $1,836 80 The case

Mr. Keeler was engaged in .the car-
riage business in Bridgeport about five
years ago with several other parties.

He advertised for a man with capital
and after some correspondence a meet-
ing took place between him and Cobb.

The evidence showed that the defenr
dant had pictured out that the business
was in a very satisfactory condition.
tMr. Cobb, who had a profitable posi-
ion in Paterson. N. J., finally do cided
to give it up and take a position with
Mr. Keeler’s company,at the same time
buying several shares of stock.

Almost on ‘the very day that Mr.
Cobb commenced his new duties, the

defendant borrowed money of'him io '

pay off the men. Stock was to be given
to secure the loan. The plaintiff waited
a ,long time, but the stock never came.
Then the company got into difficulties
and the plaintiff realized that 'his
money was lost. He bronght suit to re-
cover. .
