A Ilnrtford paper says: “The bills re-
garding the sale of cigarettes begin to
come before the legislature. They are
pretty good bills to pass. No boy under
sixteen ought to be allowed to legally
become an ruverate smoker. It is worse,
primarily, for a young boy to smoke than
for a man, and the worst trouble with the
boy is not that he smokes, but that he
smokes vile tobacco, and has-not the
judgment to refrain faom smoking to ex-
cess. If he smoke, by all means let him
have good tobacco in cigar or pipe."

rimetrt" in the unique orthography dis-
played in writing the bill of fare, which

phy: “Mackrouey soup, pickeld cab-

An ardent lover of old Norwslk and of
the honor andfame of its citizens suggests
that inasmuch as U. S. Treasurer Hyatt
will have to retire from his exalted posi-
tion by reason of his "ofiousive partisan-
ship" that the place be given to President
Wm. B. Nash, who. as secretary and
financial agent of the Union Manufactur-
ing company, has had his accounts all
revised and audited by an expert account-
ant, and extending over more than 25
years of service, and without a single
far-thing error. The idea is not a bad one
to keep the U. S. Treasury in some Nor-
walk family.

A local paragraph in last week’s'issu'e
unwittingly did an injustice to our Rev -'
erend and revered friend. S. B S. Bissell.
in stating tlrata petition was in circula-
tion praying the borough fathers to re-
move that obnoxious watering trough
from its present location in front of Mr.
Bissell's residence “back to where it for-
merly \vas, near James H Bailey’s." The
petition, as we now understand it, asks
specifically that the tank be removed to
some spot whe c it. will not inconvonirucc
anybody nor be an eyesore to the dwellers
or) the Green. Its location on its present
site would seem to have been an ill—ari—
vised move, and the authorities should,
and undoubtedly will, give due heed to
the very reasonable request contained in
the petition and put the “necessary evil"
somewhere else.
Philadelphia North American: ft is
astonishing to hear that as many as two
hundred honorably discharged soldiers
are inmates of the almshouse. ,There is
no reason why these men should occupy
the institution or be a charge to the city
of Philadelphia. Those old soldiers who
are so indifferent to their quarters that
they are as satisfied to be in the almshouse
as in a soldiers’ home seem to be in the
majority, strange to say. but there are
some who appear to have been trouble to
gain admittance into the homes. This is
a peculiar state of affairs. If accommo
rlations in the home are too limited the
government ought to increase them.
Every honorably discharged soldier who
is disabled or too feeble to support him-
self ought to be cared for by the govern.
ment, btit the almshouse is no place for
him.
The total capital of the leased roads
now held by the Housatonic is $2,508,050.
This is not a very large amount surely,
and any increase that would tend to make
travel cheaper and more comfortable an
freightlng advantages more thorough and
economical ought not to be denied by
legislators who have at heart the interests
of the public and of the state. Nor do we
think it will be. The improvements and .
enlargements proposed by the Housatonic
wtll furnish employment. for many men,
they will provide better facilities for trav-
elers and freightcrs, will tend to build up
the towns along the lines of the system,
will bring in more lands to the treasury of
the state, and so couduce the proaperity
and growth of the comruouwuallh. In so '1
farccrtainly as appears from the public
tnind as already indicated in tile premises
there appears to be a Very general impres- .
sion that. it Would be a wise policy to
grant the petition of the Housatonrc road.
We hope to see a wise, liberal and pro-
gressivu pol-icy pursued in regard to the
Housatontc as well as the Consolidated
railroad. Any other policy would be ,
discreditable to our legislators, and detri- r
mental to the interests which their oath of ,
omce binds them to conserve.-— Waterbury

The Montague-Turner Gem Opera com-
pany have been engaged to appear in the
Opera House on Friday and Saturday
evenings of this Week in "Bohemian
Girl" and “Maritana.” This combination
comes highly spoken of by the press as an
excellent one, and as otrr people have
been for some time deprived of the priv‘
ilege of witnessing opera it is safe to
expect this opportunity to see a fine com- i
puny in opera of acknowledged merit will 3
be generally taken advantage of. The 1

Mr. W. F. Hanks, formerly with Price,

Several so called “directories” have been-
gotten out for Norwalk, but all have been
deficient and unsatisfactory in one partic-
ular or another. The proposed book is
receiving encouraging recognition from
our citizens, and will undoubtedly come
nearer to giving general satisfaction than
any previous attempt.

The Baltimore Sun in an article on the
comparative building statistics of the sev-
eral large cities along the Atlantic sea-
board for the past year, finds that Wash-
ington outstrips them all. The propor-
tion of new structures to population in
New York was one to every 869 resrdents;
in Baltimore, one to-187; Brooklyn, one
to 172; Boston, one to 107, and Philadel-
phia. one to 118. The number of new
buildings erected in Washington was 3,-
199 or one to every 75 inhabitants. Com-
menting upon this most creditable show-
ing the Sun says: “But Washington is
comparatively a new city. Speaking more
definitely, her rapid growth did not begin
until a few years ago, and it has not yet
ceased. It. is becoming more and more
each year a desirable place for the resi-
dence of wealthy people of all parts of the
country."

Daubury was the scene of a murderst so
early hour Sunday morning. Simon J.
Dillon, aged twenty-three, son of the well
known “Widow" Dillon. keeper of a no-
torious resort on Ives street, was stabbe .
to death at one o’clock, while walking up
White street in company with James C.
Chambers. Both left Mike Braunclis's
saloon very drunk, and, it is learned, met
four men, near Still River bridge. Dillon
insulted and quarrcled with one of the
men, but was separated from him by
Chambers. Subsr-quently he broke away
and began again to attach them. In less
than two minutes after he fell at the feet
of a friend in front of the Grand Central
hotel and said; “I want you to help me.”
He was carried into the hotel and died in
rt few minutes. He was stabbed with a
knife in the left breast. A large blood
vessel was severed, causing internal hem
orrhage. A number of arrests have been
made and the investigation is now being
made.
The people of Massachusetts pay in
taxes ovcr$700.000 a year for maintain-
ing the State Prison, the State Reforms-
tory and the Reformntory Prison for
W omcn, half of which, the Boston Jaw-
vial says, would be unnecessary “had it
not been for the enactment of the dems —
gngical Prism Labor law, the practical
working of which is to get from prison
labor the minimum of result at the maxi-
mum of expense.” Forfla similar conces-
sion to the opponents of convict labor in
New York the people pay an additional
tax of over $400,000 a year, which is quite
enough to show that the system of idle.
tress which is songlrt to be enforced is as
bad, economically considered, as it is
morallyr and physically. It. is contrary to
sound policy or good government to put
any man where his labor cannot be made
of somescrvice. Is it any more unjust
that convict labor should be brought into
competition with honest hthor than it is
that honest labor should be taxed to sup-
port convicts-doing nothing.
Nor-walk is again basking in a wide-
spread notoriety. This time on account
of the antics of the “White Caps," who
have suddenly and terribly asserted
themselves in sendingomiuons letters to

to observe and mapping out a straight and
ruarrow path to be followed. Tile rules
are undeniably ,good, but the threats which
uccompany-eadh male, hinting darkly of
r Etcl'l‘ible punishment for disobedience, are
what make the community stand aghast

warnings. which was embellished with a

'The general conclusion is that the letters
:nrc sent out by some mischief—loving
chaps as a joke. and for all the effect the
letters have on the recipientsit is apparent
; that they consider them as a joke, too.
'The 'joke is very funny, no doubt. but it
'is said cflorts are being made to apprehend
the joker, and as the statutes prescribe a
penalty of six months imprisonment and
1$100fine for just that kind of joke. it is
possible he may be convinced of the folly
of joking.

A Hartford paper says: “The bills
regarding the sale of cigarettes begin to
come before the legislature. They m
pretty good bills to pass." No boy under
sixteen should be allowed to legally
become an inVetcrale smoker. It is worse,
primarily. for a young boy to smoke Utah
for a man, and the WUI'SL trouble with the
boy is not that he smokes, but that he
smokes vile tobacco, and has not the
judgment to refrain from smoking to

We met one of the largest manufactur-
ers of cigarettr-s in the United States, some
time since in North Carolina, who told us
frankly that the mischievous effects of
cigarette smoking were caused not so
much by the fact. that they are made of
money for church purposes,'snd the best
and most exemplary men in communities
take prominent part in such schem s. In
this year of grace such acts would subject
the perpetrators to seVerest censure. In a

Moderator W. J. Finch's allowing that

suggestive of possible tampering with the

tampering. That little act, gentlemen of
the famed error package of thirty-eight

For this reason many influential members

Association which certainly has proved to
be .a wise movement. Their meetings
have been fully attended at every session,
and though some of the projectors of the
