Dizziness, Nausea, Drowsiness, Distress after

eating, Pain in the Side, &c. While their most

correct all disorders of the stomach,stimulate the
liver and regulate the bowels. Even if they only

Isn’t it in order for somebody to pass
the hat for contributions toward another
series of evening open air concerts for the
summer? And while we’re about it,
wouldn’t it be the proper thing to pass
another hot for the purpose of erecting a
suitable band stand in a suitable spot?
Last summer’s series of concerts contribu-
tcd materially to the enjoyment of our
citizens, and that enjoyment would have
been greatly enhanced if the music had
been discourscd from a platform erected
on one of our beautiful parks, or “Greens,”
where the listeners could have taken some
physical comfort while drinking in the
sweet strains of harmony, either by scat
ing themselves on rustic benches, sprawl-
ing on the grass, leaning against the trees,
strolling about or standing on their heads,
as their own sweet wills might dictate,
instead of being compelled to huddle to-
gcther on the gutter curb and being
“moved on” by our efficient and active
police. Let’srhavc a band stand, and then
once in a week or so let the air be filled

with music. .

Porter, the portly and self possessed Sam

H. Rider Haggard, the no"velist with
the delirium tremens imagination, has
written a scolding letter to an American
publisher, giving him fits for “mutilating”
his (Haggard’s) latest novel, “Beatrice.”
Readers of Haggard are of opinion that
the gifted writer’s greatest regret should
be that the publisher did not curtail the
story as the Indian curtailed his dog——
by chopping his tail off just back of the
cars. It requires a veritable Haggardesque
imagination to conceive that the flimsy,
dull and tedious story of “Beatrice” could
possrbly have been written by the author
of “She,” “Allan Quatermain,” and, above
all, “Cleopatra.”

Train Dispatcher John Carr, of the

ber of his friends at his home in Bridge.
port one evening last week, who, in con-
siderate recognition of the fact that he
had on that day reached the ripe old age
of 29 "years, decided that he was entitled
to take life easy during the few remaining
decades that .might be allotted to him,
therefore they presented to him a luxurious

easy chair, all puffed up with upholstery
and ornamented with pretty designs. It
was presented in a flowery speech, by Col.
Stevenson’s private secretary, A. J. Porter
and is almost seductive and inviting

come a perpetual sleeping Carr. Long

The State Burial Law.
The following communication from Gen1
Thomas McManus, of Hartford, to Quarter-
master-Gen. Rudd. relating to the scope
and effect of the burial law of the staté, will
interest our readers, as the subject has been
extensively discussed hereabouts. Gen.
Rudd submits Gen. McManus’ opinion to
the selectmen of the various towns for their

information :—

-At your request I have examined the
existing statutes of Connecticut, relating to
the burial by the state of indigent veterans
of the war of the rebellion.

The first law of the kind was enacted by
the legislature of 1882, and the Intent of that
body is plainly and clearly expressed, to wit:
that no honorably discharged veteran, of
any department of the service, shall be de-
prived of a decent burial at his death, or a
suitable headstone to mark his last resting
place because of the poverty of his family or
estate. ‘

There is nothing in the language of the
original act, or in its amendments down to
the present time, that gives any color to the
claim that this grant by the state is intend-
ed as a contribution or gratuity to the
friends of the deceased. It is a recognition
on the part of the state, of its obligation to
see to it that friendlessness and want shall
not deprive the soldier’s remains of the final
tribute of respect that the living owe to the
dead.

The original law [Chapter 89 of Session
LaWs of 1882] provided that “all honorably
discharged soldiers, sailors or marines, who
have served in the army, navy or marine
corps of the United States during the war of
the rebellion, who shall hereafter die within
this state, and whose relatives and friends
are unable or unwilling to defray the
charges of their funeral, shall be buried at
the espouse of the state of Connecticut. Such
funeral expenses shall not exceed the sum
of thirty-five dollars.”

In the following year [1883], the phrase-
ology of this law was changed, SO as to
restrict this duty to the funerals of such
veterans as had a residence in this- state at
the time of their decease; not havrng suffi-
cient estate to pay the necessary expenses of
their burial, in which cases “the State shall
pay the same. Such expenses shall not
exceed the sum of thirty-five dollars in any
case,” and such is the phraseology of the
law to-day.

The law makes it the duty of the select-
men “to pay such burial expenses.” There
can be no doubt as to what expenses are
meant, they are the necessary expenses of
his burial above referred to, “and such
[necessary] expenses shall not exceed the
sum of thirty-five dollars in any case.”

The necessary expenses of a burial of
course include a grave, coffin, shroud, hearse
and suitable conveyance to the grave for the
family. Thelegislature must have had in
mind some such ‘ practical and definite
meaning to the words “necessary expenses,”
when it has repeated these same words in
this same connection, in all the amendments
to this law in 1883, 1887 and 1889.

The law requires the Quartermaster-
General to audit these claims and approve
the same before they can be paid by the
state, and he can approve them only after
the selectmen have furnished him With
satisfactory proof, within six months after
the death of the veteran, as to 1115 identity
——the time and place of the death and burial
——the insufficiency of his estate to pay the
necessary expenses of his burial—that the
selectmen have already paid these expenses
and that said necessary expenses did not
exceed thirty-five dollars. Under his du-
ties as auditor the Quartermaster-General
would be greatly remiss if he neglected to
require an itemized account of the “neces-
sary expenses.”

It is a matter of no concern to the state
what may be done by relatives or friends in
the way of voluntary contributions, such as
aid to the family, floral decorations, musm
or carriages. All these are separate and
apart from the necessary expenses _otthe
burial. When} the case c0mcs withmthe
law the state pays all necessary expenses in
‘full, not in part, and pays no unnecessary
expenses or part thereof. The law must be
interpreted as a whole. The state furnishes
a headstone, as an entirety, at a. cost of fif-
teen dollars. It pays the “necessary burial
expenses” as an entirety, where the cost
does not ex0eed thirty-five dollars. The
state does not contribute fifteen dollars to-
ward the cost of such a monument as the
friends may desire to erect, nor does it con-
tribute thirty-five dollars toward the pur.
chase of a costly casket such as the friends
may wish to procure.

The case is similar to that of the support
of a needy soldier, maintained by the state
in a hospital or soldiers’ home, or as if the
state had provided, that where the family
of a soldier was destitute and unable to pay
for the rent of a tenement, the state should
pay the rent of the same, but the rent of
such tenement should in no case exceed ten
dollars per month. It would be a perver-
sion of the law to say that the friends

‘ of the family might hire a tenement at forty

dollars per month and call upon the state
for a monthly contribution of ten.

The Quartermaster-General has no right
to allow any mOney to be paid from the
treasury, unless it is warranted by the plain
language of the law. This law was in-
tended for the benefit of the destitute, and
not as an aid to people in moderate circum-
stances; it was intended as a protection, lest
perchance the too great frugality of the
selectmen should degenerate into parsimony
when the public should be called upon to
bury the poor, friendless veteran. And so a
liberal allowance was made for the “necese
sary burial expenses ;” an effectual prohibi-
tion was secured against avburial in a pauper
plot; all graves are marked alike by head-
stones of equal size and value; and so far as
pOSSibIe the state has provided that all who
receive its benefits may be equal in their
graves and coflins —the uniform of the dead.

Our Bridgeport Letter.

Rev. Milledge Walker, of this city. has
accepted the call to St.Paul’s Episcopal
church, Newark, N. J. He preaches his
firstksermon in his new field Sept. lst.

The Fairfield East consociation metin
the Park street church last Wednesday, and
after hearing Dr. Hovey’s reasons for re-
signing as pastor of the Park street church,
voted to dissolve the bond they had created
years ago. Dr. Hovey said, “I do, not
leavé'my people from any unkindly feeling
or discontent, nor without the highest ap-
preciation of the many who have loyally
sustained their pastor, but I resign simply
because I love my people, and aim persua-
ded that under existing circumstances that
love can be better proved by my resigna
tion.” It will be remembered that Rev.
1):. Hovey succeeded the Rev. F. E. Hop.-
kins of New Canaan.

Col. W'm. H. Stevenson, vice-president
and general manager of the Housatonic
railrbad, has given the employees in the
generzil office in this city,a half holiday
every Saturday afternoon. This action is
very creditable on the part of 001. Steven
son.

The Rev. Percy S. Grant, of Fall River,
Massi, has received a unanimous call from
St.John’s church to become their rector.
Mr. Grant has preached to the StJohn's
people, and those that heard him are very
much pleased with him. Mr. Grant is a
young man and an eloquent preacher.

Mr. G. B. Beers, ticket agent of the Con-
solidated road in this city, was bitten by a
dog in East Bridgeport, one day last week.
Officer Dorrance notified the owner of the
dog that it must be killed. Every dog
owner ought to be compelled to have his
dog muzzled.

Dr. Eugene Benton, of New York, has
been appointed Superintendent of the Pub-
lic Schools, this city, and will commence his
duty July 1st.

The Pardon and Kirmcss which has been
running during the week at Proctor’s Grand
Opera House, has been a grand success. The
different dances and tableaux were very
handsomely costumed, and as presented by
our society belles and the leading young
gentlemen of our city, were beautiful.
would be a hard task to determine which
were the best. All (lid nobly, and are de—
serving of much credit. The minuct which
was danced by some of our older ladies and
gentlemen, so pleased Mr. P. T. Barnum
that he male the participants an offer of
$10,000 to travel with his big show, and
appear in each performance and dance in
the spectacle of the “Fall of Rome.” This
proposition will hardly be accepted, how-
ever, as several well known business and
professional men are “minueters” and would
hardly say yes to such a proposal. This is
one of Mr. Barnum’s jokes. Mr. Howard
H. Knapp, formerly of Norwalk, and his
wife took part in the minuct dance.

1 Mrs. ~"P. T. Barnum arrived home on
Friday last. Mr. Barnum met her in New
York on the arrival of the steamer. She is
restored to perfect health.

A Requiem or High Mass was celebrated
one day last week, in Trinity church, over
the remains of Alice V. LaLande, the
daughter of Prof. Albert LaLande, This
being an unusual thing to do in a Protestant
Episcopal church, the church was filled to
witness the ceremony. The Rev. Lewis
W. Booth, rector of the church, conducted
the services.

Mr. Eli C. Smith and wife are in St.-
Louis, attending the Christian Endeavor
