INDIAN sermons.
It is known that Rev. Dr. T. S. Childs
was sent by ex—Prcsident Cleveland last
summer to investigate certain complaints
made against the treatment of Indian pupils
at the government school at Hampton, Va.
His report was never published, but the
reforms the good Doctor recommended were
promptly adopted. Since the incoming of the
present administration the report was sub-
mitted to the consideration of the Board of
Indian Commissioners, and a special commis-
sion to examine the matters of complaint
over again, was sent out. As the grievances
had already been corrected the new com-
mission found, of course, that the old causes
of complaint had no existence, and so dis-
ingenuously let their heels fly at Dr. Childs.
The doctor does not hesitate to defend him-
self and his action with his usual vigor,
and the letter below will be found very
interesting reading—ED. GAZETTE.
Wasmseron, D. 0., J one 10, 1889.
Hon. Clinton B. Fisk, Chairman Board
Indian Commissioners:
Dean Sin :—In the last report of your
board to the Secretary of the Interior I find
published a report of two members of your
body acting, as they state, at your request
upon an unpublished report of mine to the
Commissioner of Indian affairs. Issued as a
government document. with tho dndorse.
ment of you; board, it demands notice. If
the result shall be the publicity of unwel—r
come facts the responsibility will not be
mine. I shall not go at length over either
your report or my own. The facts are few
and simple. Complaints had been made at
different times and by diflerent parties to
the President, the Secretary of the Interior
and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in
regard to the treatment of Indians at
Hampton. I was requested by the Secretary
of the Interior to investigate these com-
plaints, and also to examine the condition
of the school at Carlisle, although no com-
plaints had been made against that school.
The result of my investigation is contained
in my report filed in the Department of the
Interior. With my sympathies strongly in
favor of Hampton, and as a friend of the
principal, General Armstrong, I certainly
was not in an attitude to do any injustice to
that institution. I believe the report will
satisfy any candid reader that whatever
could justly be said in favor of the school I
I have said. This, however, would not be
inferred from the report of your colleagues.
That there were things needing correction in
the management of the school is evident
because they were corrected after my visit,
and as the result of my visit. Would it not
have been fair for your committee frankly
to have admitted this with whatever expla-
nation that was possible? That important
changes were made as the result of my visit
is clear from the fact that a leading repre-
sentative of the school, standing among the
first in the confidence and respect of the
officers of the institution, came to Vl'ashing-
ton bringing gthe acknowledgments and
thanks of the Indians for their improved
condition. ‘ * ' The Indians com—
plained of their food ; they complained also
that they did‘not get the fullbenefit of all
that was contributed for them—whether by
the government or not was unessential.
They believed that money was given for
their benefit, which went directly or .indi-
reetly for the benefit of the negroes of the
school. They believed that if they could
have the use of all that was intended for
them it would be ample for the supply of all
proper diet and everything else. 8‘ ‘ “
The method of your committee getting at
the comparative death rate of Hampton
and Carlisle by striking out more than half
the deaths that had occurred at Hampton is
simple and effective. I have only to suggest
whether in making the contrast it would
not have been fair to allow Carlisle the
same privilege in regard to similar cases.
The principal subjects of complaintwere
in regard to diet and discipline. In respect
to the former I found the dissatisfaction of
the pupils pronounced, and, with a single
exception, I think, universal. The great
majority of the students complained that
their health was not as good as when they
came to the school. The result was this :—
Almost immediately after my visit import-
ant chaiiges were made in the bill of fare.
This was reported to me and stated in my
report, which your committee had before
them. Yet they make no recognition of
this, but condemn my report for objecting to
a diet, the unsatisfactory character of which
was virtually admitted by the changes that
were made in it.
But the severest charges against Hampton
had been made in respect to its discipline,
especially in the use of a certain guard—
llouse described by your committee as a
"small room under the office." It was a
small room or cell—for by no ordinary use
of language could it be called a room—
built in the basement under the offices of
the institution and near the center of the
building. The dimensions as given me by
an ofiicer of the school, were as follows :—
Six feet, six inches long, three feet and
three inches wide and nine feet six inches
high. *I * “ The cell had no window or
means of light whatever, and when the door,
was closed was absolutely dark, as I proved
by a moment's experiment, which was all I
cared to make. The only ventilation visible
or pointed out to me by the officers was by
some small holes III the side wall at the top
of the cell. These holes did not connect
with the fresh air from without but simply
with the air of the area around the cell.
0n the pavement or floor of the cell was a
bed—sacking with apparently a little straw
or some such material in it; it could in no
proper sense be called a bed. The time of
confinement of the boys there varied, I was
told, from a few days to more than a week.
The recollection as to the exact time of
imprisonment seemed indistinct. In one or
two cases I understood it to be admitted
that it might have been ten days or two
weeks. When a boy was removed from the
cell it was stated that “the stench was
awful.” ()n my report the use of the place
for Indians was forbidden by the govern-
ment. My judgment of that dungeon as a
place of punishment for school boys or
human beings in general remains unchanged.
With the heavy door closed and locked,
withdut a ray of light, in absolute darkness
and silence, with no proper ventilation,
with room only to lie down and none to
move, even from side to side, beyond the
narrow limits of three feet three inches, if
it was not a ”fearful place of puuishment" I
have failed to hear of one this side “the
Black Hole” of Calcutta. That place
was disapproved, at the time of my
visit, by some of the ofiicers of the
school, including the physician, I know;
and the amazing thing to me is that the
Board of Indian Commissioners, who have
no reason for existence unless they stand
between the Indian and wrong, can defend
and publish to the world their defense of
this mode and means of discipline of Indian
children.
The plea of your committee that the
dungeon “contains more cubic feet than a
state-room on a Potomac steamer” is re-
markable. State rooms are not built after
that fashion ;they are not built to exclude
every ray of light and nearly all air. A
tomb may contain more cubic feet than a
state-room, and not be a desirable plow for
a living’child.
But your committee have fortified them-
selves with the judgment of ‘Dr. George II.
Torney, assistant surgeon U. S. army, who
testifies that the place “compares favorably
with many places of like character and for
similar purposes that he has inspected.” I,
I!
ssume that Dr. Torney examined the room
as I saw it. To suppose otherwise would
be to charge a disingenuousness of which;
your committee are not capable. I have
written to Dr. Torney to favor me with the
names of the many places he has found
worse than this, but have not as yet, more
than a month after my writing, his answer.
In the absence of information from Dr. T. I
have inquired of intelligent army officers,
but have been unable to obtain information
of any such place of punishment in modern
military service. The warden of the
Massachusetts prison, who has had, I believe,
eminent success in dealing with the worst
cases of criminals, says :-“I have no hesita-
tion in saying that man or boy ought not to
be confined in a room of those dimensions
for a single day.”
The warden of the Eastern Penitentiary
of Pennsylvania says :—“Therc are no cells
in this institution for the purpose of special
punishment. All the cells or rooms are for
permanent occupancy and are eight feet by
sixteen, twelve feet high, with skylight,
ventilation and light.”
These cells, it will be remembered, are
for prisoners convicted of the highest crimes
(except, capital .ofiences)——robbery. arson,
burglary. manslaughter, murder in thesec-
0nd degree, etc. :It seems singular that
the children of the “wards of the’ nation”
should require more. severe treatment-for
their education than is allowed by our states
' 'to “be inflicted on the, most, abandoned
criminals for the most' atrocious crimes. ; I
can only again express my surprise that the
Honorable Board of Indian Commissioners
should be found publicly justifying and.
defending such a system. If the object is to
secure a revocation of the order of Lthe.
government forbidding the use of that cell
as a place of punishment for Indian child-
ren I must pnotest against: it. Negroes. are
never put there. and neither the government
of the United States, nor Hampton school,
nor the Board of Indian Cominissioners can ’
be justified in bringing children of any race
to that “place of torment." It is gnot
pleasant to difier from warm per‘st‘mal
friendsas I must do here, but there are
considerations higher than those of friend-
ship. Respectfully yours, ,
. T. S. ‘ClllLDS.

Connecticut’s Mortality.
The report of the state board of health
for the month of May, 1889, shows that
there were 932 deaths in state during the
mouth. The estimates include 165 towns
and excludes three towns; Canterbury, El-
lington and Bedding, which. represent a
total population of 4,800, and'which sent
in no report. The'largest death rate was
in Killingly, 22$ per _ 1000. The death
rate in Hartford was 18.8 per 1,000. The
total deaths in thestate represent an an—
nual rate of 14.6 per 1000. Of a total of
932 deaths 178 were of persons under4
years of age, representing a death rate- of:
19 per cent. per 1,000. Diseases of‘thc.
nervous system killed 131 mph; bon-
sumption killed 119; heart disease, 104;
pneumonia, 82 ;' accidents and violence,
43; diphtheria and croup, 43; bronchitis,
28; cerebro—spinel fever, 8 ; typhoid fever,
13 ; malarial fever, 10; measles and scarlet
fever, 11 each. '
The mortality in public institutions in
the state was as follows : Hartford 14, New
Haven 11, Middletown 10, Bridgeport 3.
These are deducted from the total mortal-
ity of the respective towns in estimating
death rates. There were no deaths in May
in Beacon Falls, Bethany, Bethlehem, Bol-
ton. Brldgewater, Cheshire, Columbia,
Durham, Esstford,.East,.Gramby, Easton,
Franklin, Goshcn, Granby, Harwinton,
Marlborough, Middlebury, Morris, North
Canaan, North Haven, Old Lyme, Pres—
ton, Prospect, Scotland, Sprague, Wood-
bury, Warren. and Wolcott. Total. 28.
There were 141 deaths loss in the state
in May than in April; there were 51 less
than May, 1888, and 11 less than the
average number of deaths in May fdr the
four years proceeding the present.3 The
,number of deaths in the first five months
of the year compared with the number in
the four years proceeding was as' follows :
1889, 4,868; 1888. 5,381 ; 1887, 4,736 ;31885,
5,333. In the first five months of this
year the number of deaths was ,‘513, less
than in the first five months of 1888. - The
death rate for the largest towns was 14.5;
for the smallest ones 15.4. The deaths
from zymotic fever diseases numbered 128
and were 13.7 per cent of the total inor-
tality, as against 13.4 per cent in April,
Cerebro spinal fever and typhoid éfovcr
have been slightly more fatal tbsp in
April, while diphtheria, rncasles,; and
whooping cough have been less fatali 0f
scarlet fever there were 11 deaths, against
11 in April. Of pneumonia there wdre 82
deaths, against 127 in April, and of Econ-
sumption 110 deaths, being 15 less thpn in
the preceding month. i

A Revolution in Taxation.
One of the most important acts of the
late legislature was the bill nomi'pally
designed to tax “investment companies."
While it does incidentally lay its hand on
that business, wipe out certain special
privileges, and call into the tax lists the
stocks of all such companies, that is :only
an item in the great work of the bill.:
What it really does is seen in section 0,
where investment companies are; not
even mentioned. That section is as fol-
lows: . .
Section 9. Any person may' take or
send to the office of the treasurer of this
state any bond, note; or Other chose in
action, and may pay to the state a tax of'
one per cent, on the face amount thereof
for five years, or, at the option of such
person, for a greater or less number of
years at the same rate. and the treasurer
shall thereupon endorse upon said bond,
note, or other chose in action.that the
same is [exempted from all taxation for
the period of five years, or for such longer
or shorter period as aproportionate tax
therefor has been paid, which eudorse— ‘
ment shallbe duly dated and signed in
the name and wit the seal of thetreasurcr
afiixed. Said treasurer shall keep a record
of said endorsements, with a description
of such bonds, notes, or other choses in
action. together with the name and ad—
dress of the party prescntin the same,
and date of registration; an all bands,
notes or other cboses in action so endorsed
shall be exempt from all taxation in the
state during the period for which said tax
is so id, audtbc treasurer may, under
such imitation and conditions as he may
deem proper, authorize any person or
corporation in any city or town of this
state to receive the tax and make the en-
dorsement provided for in this section..
It will be seen that this removes from
the tOWn tax list all bonds, notes or other
evidence of indebtedness if the owner .' so
wishes. So far as the town goes they are
exempt. Then the state collects 2 mills a
year in taxes and that is all. It is so in-
significant that it amounts to almost noth-
ing and is practically ’ exempting that
whole line of intangible properties from.
taxation.

Eymoneal.
Seldom if ever in the social history of,
Norwalk has a marriage ceremony taken
place that has awakened so universal and
kindly an interest as that of Mr. Charles
L. Rockwell and Miss Mary Everest; The
personnel and all the associations tended
to render the event one of exceptional-
delight. Mr. R. was remembered as a
former resident of our town, coming here
a poor boy, but with honest purpose, high
resolves and a clean}. pure life. For years
he was successively boy of all work, clerk
and then teller of the Bank of Norwalk,
then he become as now cashier of the
National Bank of Merid'en, where he has
won the highest confidence and esteem of
all who know him. His bride, a daughter
of Rev. C. H. Everest, is .in person. and
character one of the sweet and beautiful '
angels of her sex, worthy to be the wife ,
of such a noble man.

The legislature, which closed Saturday,
was of unprecedented'length and ill fame.
One member is reputed to have carried
away about $16,000 of railroad corrup-
tion funds, and if there is a scintilla of
proof of the fact his name and disgrace
ought to be made public.

center of each of which was set a‘ soltairc
diamond. After speech making and pass.»
ing a vote of thanks to Chief Clerk Eddy
and Assistant Clerk Gates, and presenting
the former with a handsome gold watch
and the latter with a handsome gold
chain, the house went into joint session
with the senate, and the legislature finally
adjourned at the conclusion of an address
by the governor.
The good Lord be praised l—thc Legis-
lature adjourned sine die Saturday and as
the Courant truthfully says, “the better
element of that body has not enjoyed the
session.” It might have added, neither
have the people of the state. “The clash-
ing of great moneyed interests brought a
big lobby and a nasty atmosphere into the
capitol and proved very demoralizing in
some quarters.”
“Speaker Perry had a most difiicult task
in the beginning to organize his committees
with comparatively unknown men. It
seemed as if his work must necessarily be
largely in the nature of guess work, but
the results were in the main excellent.
That Mr. Perry has presided with ability
and absolute impartiality needs no further
demonstration than the remarkable trib;
utes of respect paid him on Saturday by
so many of the prominent men of both
parties, and‘ without a dissenting voice.
His colleague, Mr. Glover, became of ncc.
essity chairman of the judiciary commit-
tee. and therefore the leader of the repub-
lican slde.'_ He has been a modest but
competent leader, never putting himself
forward unnecessarily, but ready when-
ever cecaslon required to stand the brunt
of a contest or to explain and advocate a
useful measure. , Among those on, the
republican side who have been prominent
and influential arc Messrs. Hill of Stam-
ford, Chapin of Merldeu, Gay of Winches-
ter, Enders of West Hartford, Brandegec
of New London, Hall of Stratford, Land
and Mowry of Norwich, Ferris and Olm-
stead cf Norwalk, Brown of North Ston-
iugton, Kendall of Sufileld; Tuttlc of East

That Settles It.
We confess to not being entirely clear
in our own minds as to what the lcgisla
turc meant to onset in every detail in its
remarkable tax bill, but Representative
Ferris, who is as clear a headed financial.
mail as we have among us, says it is all
right and so that settles it as far as we are
concerned, but we shall await its practical
workings with special interest.
Then it goes on to say,
Everest-Rockwell.
The town was all agog on Wednesday
evening over the marriage of Miss Mary
Louise Everest, daughter of Rev. C. H.
Everest, to Mr. Charles Lee Rockwell, of
Meridcn, which occurred in the Congre-
gational church. Guests were present
from far and near, and the wedding was
the most intensely high-toned that has taken
place here in many months. The church
was profusely and artistically trimmed with,
rare flowers, ferns and potted plants, and
filled to its utmost capacity with invited
guests. Before the ceremony was per-
formed, and while the church was filling
up, Miss Jennie K. Nash rendered-an
excellent programme on the organ in her
usual artistic style.
At 7:15 the bridal party entered the
church and marched slowly to the altar to
the inspiring strains of Lohcngriu’s Wed-
ding Chorus. The ushers came first, as
follows: Messrs. Walter and _ George
Thompson, of New York; Joseph P.
Battles, of Lowell; Walter Bradley, of
Moridcn; Dr. J. L. Adams, of Newark,
and Charles E. Miller, of Norwalk. The
bridesmaids were Misses. Minnie Lock-
wood, Lizzic Lockwood and Sadie Miller,
of Norwalk, and Miss Mabel Ray, of
Brooklyn. The maid of honor was Miss
Griswold, of Minneapolis, Mlnn.,,and the
best man Mr. Edward Everest, of New
Haven. The bride came leaning on the
arm of her father, dressed in white Faille
Francoise and pearl passementeric, veil of
Brussels net,pearl necklace with diamond
pendant, the gift of the groom, and carry-
ing a bouquet'of lilies of the valley. The
groom and best man met the party at the
altar, when the words that united the
happy couple were spoken with deep
feeling by the father of the bride. At the
conclusion of the beautiful service the
party marched down the aisle, the organist
playing Mendelssolln’s Wedding IMarch;
hacks were in waiting and the bridal
party and three hundred specially invited
guests were driven to the palatial resi-
dence of Colonel F. St. John Lockwood,
on East avenue, where a reception was
held and a magnificent supper was served
by Morcssi, the famous caterer of New;
York, and music was furnished ' by
Mocslin, of NewYork. Here the time
was passed felicitousl y in congratulations,
social enjoyment, and inspection of over
two hundred wedding presents, liirgcly
composed of articles of sterling silver
and aggregating thousands of dollars in
value. The bride and groom took the
10:13-train for New York, where they will
remain until Wednesday, when they will
sail on the Germanic for Eul'opc,,contcm~
plating an extendcd1tour through Great
Britain, Germany. France and Switzer-
land. . ,

The house and senate concurred in chok'
ing of! the last parallel railroad scheme by
refuslng to extend the time for construct-
ing the “Olmstcad Parallel,” so called.
This is rough on those of our citizens (and
there are at least a few,) who have invest-
ed money in the enterprise, and in con-
nection with other illustrations it may go
to show, as the Norwalk papers claim,
that the present general assembly is de-
livered over body and soul to the Con-
solidatcd railroad, yet on the other hand
it is not easy to see where an important
public interest has been sacri ced in this
matter. A corporation that has only vi-
tality enough to come up every few years
asking for an extension of charter, has
evidently not much in it of value to the

——or rather something less promising and
more pcrforming.-’-Slamford Advocate.
J. A. Boswick, president of the New
York 85 New England road, tells a Tribune
reporter that, Gov. Hill having signed the
bill allowing covered piers to be built on
the East river, the company will run
through passenger and freight, trains to
Boston in fully two hours’ shorter time
than is made by any competing line. We
have entered intoa trafiic contract with
the Housatonic road for twenty years,
says Mr. Bostwick, and we propose to
bring our freight trains direct to the more
on the East river, by means of lighters
from Wilson Point, without breaking bulk.
The New England Terminal company has
purchased the block of property at the
foot of Rutgers slip, opposite the square it
now owns, and will erect on the new
property a large freight depot. A fast
steamer to be used on the new line is in
course of construction. '
Capt. Hamilton ,Murrell, who savedtbe
passengers and crew of the wrecked
steamship Danmark, has been richly
honored on his next arrival on this side
the water. At Baltimore the gold medal
awarded by the life saving benevolent
association of New York was presented to
him, and the Danish consul under instruc-
tions from the king of Denmark knighted
him; while a fine oil painting was given
. him by the citizens of Baltimore and New
York. A few days before at Philadelphia
George W. Cbllds presented him a gold
medal on behalf of the New York World.
He received these testimonials with the
unaffected modesty of the hero, saying
that it was his good fortune to be on hand-
wheu help was needed and that all his'
crew deserve as well as he.
Johnstown, the scene of the late dlsas~
trons flood in Pennsylvania, had another
disaster on Monday, when the fire: fiend
very nearly completed the work of; de-
struction which the flood had left ‘u'nfin.

fivo buildings, including the large brick
school house. *9 .
Capital Reduction.
The venerable Fairfield County Bank ‘
has asked for a reduction in its capital
stock from three to two hundred thousand
dollars. This is believed by its officers
and friends to be an act of wisdom in
view of its losses, the general stagnation
of business, and the heavy faxes laid upon
all National Banks. Every friend of Nor-
walk and its highest prosperity will re-
joice that this venerable and solid insti-
tution has at last emerged triumphant
from its misfortunes.

“The George" Hotel located in Black
Rock, is now open and a grand reception
will be given there Wednesday evening
June 26th,- by the proprietors Messrs.
George and Frederick Harrall.
The graduation exercises at the Hillside
Seminary Were held last Thursday evening.
The. two young ladies graduating we're
Miss May Virginia Keys, and Miss Maud
Margaret Morris. The address by Dr.
Jesse B. Thomas, of the Newtown Theo-
logical Seminary, on “character” Was
listened to with marked attention, and
was .a most interesting and practical
address. .ln'concludlug he said, “May
God give you, dear young friends, a wel
balanced’ellaracter, and through this may
you gain many of life’s victories."
Rev. Charles Ray Palmer next took
his stand on the platform with three
dainty parchments in his hand. The two
young ladills stood before him with down-
cast eyes. " They were both clothed in
simple whitel Miss Kcyes wearlng the
graceful Glcék dress which distinguished
her at the reception on Tuesday. Mr.
Palmer. said in substance: “In present
ing to you these certificates I have a dif
fercnt thought in my mind than if they
were diplomas.. These certify you are
prepared to enter a collegiate course.
{Thcy represent not an end, but a begin-
ning. Before you is the beginning of a
new life and a larger sphere, with en-
larging views of truth and knowledge.
Look forward, and not backward, to a
sphere in which you will find more that is
. inspiring than a continuation of those that
are lpast. You will always lock back
pleasantly to your school life.” Miss
Morris accepted her certificate and with-
drew. The speaker continued to Miss
Keycs: ,l“This diploma is something re-
trospectiye. Your school life is finished.
Mydutygis simple, and by my authority I
declare you algraduatc of this institution
and lierewithconccdo to you all the rights
and honors that belong tothat state. I
also wish to express my personal regard
for you and my best hopes of your future.
Before Reyes-there are many open doors
leading to useful lives. May you select
the brightest and best."
was nicely rendered by Miss Edith Stick-
les and the school sang an‘ evening hymn,
which concluded the programme. The
certificates received by Miss Keycs and
Miss Morris admit them to any ladics’ col-
lege without examination, and it is under-
stood'both young ladies intend to enter
Vassar in the fall. Miss Kcyes has oom-
pletcd the whole five years’ course at the
Seminary, and Miss Morris leaves after a
three years’ study. The young ladies
wcrc,kcpt busy receiving congratulatidus
for some time after the exercises. Mrs.
Hopson and the other teachers were pres-
ent and to their skillful management the
success of the evening was due.
The Hon. V. R. C. Giddings, one of our
most prominent lawyers, was presented
a testimonial for the interest be manifested
in bringing about the-consolidation of
West Stratford to our city. Kim. D. M.
Read the great dry goods man made the
presentation speech in his usual happy
manner, which was as follows :
“Farrah Gimmes: Your friends in
that they would not do justice ;to them-
selves nor you, did they not in some man-
ner express their appreciation of your
exertions in their behalf in rcgardto the
newborn East End, and I feel hobbred to-
night in being selected as their spokesman.
For several years you have fought nobly
and served the people well in, bringing

were many doubting ones you stood
boldly to the front. We feel that you
have stood the ground, and thglt it was
due to you that some expression of appre-
ciation be made. _
watched the move toward annexation
from its beginning and I know that you
have worked faithfully. It seems strange
to say, but such a man needs watching
himself, therefor allow me, in the, name of
your East End friends, to present you
this time-piece and chain as a reznindcr
of their good wishes for the future. ’
Mr. Giddingsin reply said flit what-
ever he had accomplished for the East
End was done for the best midi-est of
himself and his neighbors and that such a
token as he had just rcceive'rhwould
always be cherishcd'a’nd the kindficss of
the donors would never be fdljgotten.
The other. speakers. were Judge A. B.
Beers, Mr. P.. W. Wren of the board of
education, Mr. James Bounds, Mr. W.

making was over Mr.‘ Giddings Invited

RANDOM MERGE.
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM BAMBLRB. ,
My “old-maidisllsputtering,” as the
“Cook" who mixes the_Record’s “Hash"
calls it, anent the disgracefully barbaroas‘
condition in which our borough cross-
walks are kept—or rather not kept—seems
to have produced even less effect upon
those who have the roads in charge than
upon the aforesaid “Cook." Thc sugges—
tion that our skirts may be kept clean by
either carrying thcm in our hands when
we go out, or staying at home altogether,
doesn’t suggest a remedy. The ingenuity
of the most resourceful partisan of office
for revenue only would be inadequate to
the task of inventing an excuse for the
present villainous condition of our streets.
Why can’t We have our cross-walks
plowed over, if nothing more, once in a
while?
o‘c-
My sister’s husband isn't quite satisfied
even with the new arrangement of the
horse railway time table. His business
calls him to South Norwalk quite fre-
quently, and he suggests a nllmbcr of
changes in the time schedule. For‘cx—
ample he would have a car at the South
Norwalk depot to connect with the 12.59
train from the cast and another to leave
promptly on arrival of the 6:22 express
from New York, instead of compelling
passengers to wait ten or fifteen minutes
as at present. He isn't one bit inclined to
rccede, even after my suggestion that
some people, who know nothing about
railroading, can run a horse railway better
than others who have devoted years to
thc busines.
a " o
It isn’t encouraging to learn that the
muddy streets and cross-walks are not the
only source of complaint and that decay—
ing garbage heaps are suffered to exist
and accumulate in the places whole,
though they are less public, they are.
equally offensive. A thorough purging
would seem to be in order throughout the
borough. "
" o
Next week we shall witness the unpre-
cedented sight of a bob-tail horse car.
rumbling up and down Main street to
Winnipauk, which will be looked upon
with as much interest and open-mouthed
wonderment by our citizens as if they had
never seen a horse car before in their
lives. It will, without question, prove a
great convenience to those of us who live
on Main street and Pudding Lane.

I had the pleasure of attending that
memorable wedding on Wednesday even-

of the prettiest weddings I ever witnessed.
The ushers, conslderiug. the enormous

well, perhaps, as could be expected,
although the pressure of the multitude
at times confused them a little.
