A Question of Mora-ls.
In their efforts to close the World’s
Fair on Sundays, the good people who
«are'so careful of other people’s morals
seem to have temporarily forgotten their
town. They have been Working the
various States with petitions, and get-
ting signatures with a zeal that is liter-
ally appalling, says the Washington
Post. The Michigan petition has just
reached the Chicago managers, andup-
on examination is found to represent
800,000 more people than the last cen-
sus discovered in the State. The infer-
ence is that the propaganda, so far as
Michigan is concerned, at least, in-
cludes not only the grown folks, but
the babies, the yellow dogs,.the wolves,
and the catfish. There is no other way
in which to account for the size of that
petition.
A similar growth is indicated in Ohio,
and perhaps in other States, but the
feature of real interest is the astonish-
ing disclosure of ardor on the part of
persons who constitute themselves
guardians of other people’s consciences.
It suggests a great many ideas which
we‘cannot fully catalogue in the limited
space at the disposal of ‘ a daily newspa-
per. It occurs to us to inquire, how_
ever, whether it be worse in -morals to
look at an industrial exhibit on Sunday
than to concoct and utter falsehoods
during the week.

Yesterday afternoon, during the tem-
porary'absence of Mrs. Benjamin Bech-
tel, who lives o-n Cross street, some
sneak thief entered the house and stole
a valuable clock, two rings, some man-
tel ornaments, etc. The theft was com-
mitted‘about 4 o’clock, but the police
were not advised of the fact until some
hours later. The stealing was hurried-
ly done, as Mrs. Bechtel was absent not
more than ten minutes, and even then
not away from the premises, as she was
instructing a driver where to place some
coal in the cellar. There is a suspicion
as by whom the theft was committed,
and the goods may yet. be recovered.

An Old Friend.
Yesterday afternoon while ‘ ‘ Barney ”
Cummings was repairing the horse rail-
road tracks, so that they would con-
form with the grade of the new roofing
of the Housatonic railroad tunnel on
Wall street, which is being raised about
four inches, he came across a stringer
which he helped in placing there about
twenty-nine years ago. He recognized
it by a peculiar kind of spike the use of
wnich was discarded soon after the
completion of the road. It was believed
that all of the original stringers had
been taken up. It was very much de-
cayed, but not so much so as to prevent
“Barney ” from identifying it. Mr.
Cummings has been continuously in the
employ of the company since the form-
ation of the same, and a faithful em-
ployee he has been during the whole
time.

. To Make Big Demands.
When the next legislature assembles,
the Oystermen’s State Protective Asso-
ciation will make a demand for an in-
vestigation into the methods of the
large oyster dredging corporations.
It will also demand an apportionment
of all the oyster beds in the State, in
order to give the small dredgcrs and
“natural grow’thers” a fair show. This
is certain to be fought tooth and nail
by the corporations, but the political
prestige the association will then have
and the obligations many members of
the legislature will be under to it,give a
certain amount of, probability to those
measures.
The association claims to be able to
control the election of every‘member
of the legislature from all the shore
towns from Greenwich to Branford,
without a single exception, Congress-
men from the Second and Fourth Con-
gressional districts, and also, probably
the election of the State ticket. The
association is expected to number 1,800
members by November.

Yachting.
Says the Bridgeport Union: talking
about sail boats, etc., many new boats
have been built during the winter, of
which great th1ngs are expected. Prob-
ably no boat that has yet been built
has created more comment than the
handsome new 27 foot boat, the Com-
modore. _ She is one of Mr. Burritt’s
own des1gns and will make her trial
race at the annual regatta on Decora-
tion day. An aspirant for honors on
Decoration day will be Sidney Dayton
of Westport, new 21 foot cat boat. She
was put into the water yesterday and
1s afine looking craft. She looks as
though she might show some of the
best of her competitors “a clean pair
of heels.”- Chas. Morris, ownerof the
Hornet, has challenged George Mas-
ters, owner of the Alice, to a race for
the Citizens’ cup. The cup is now held
by Mr. Masters. The race is to come
off at the annual regatta on Decoration
day and is open to all boats under
thirty feet 1n the State of Connecticut.
This is different from former races for
the cup as. only boats from Bridgeport
and Vicinity were allowed to compete
until this year. This, however, will
make the race more interesting from
the fact that there are many crack
boats in different parts of the State.
It is expected that the Phyllis and
Sirens of Grecnw1ch will enter the race,
as. Will also boats from New Rochelle,
Stamford, Norwalk, New Haven and
many .other towns along the coast.
Francis Burritt- has offered a handsome
pennant to be given to the fastest oys-
ter boat in this vicinity. The race will
take place on Decoration day.

From this windy bridge at rest
In some former curious hour
We have watched the city’s lilo,
All along the orange west.

Dar-ken into solid blue.

Full across this drifted hold,
Let us stand with iced checks
Watching westward as of old.
Past the violet mountain-head
To the farthest fringe of pine,
Where far on the purpled-red
Narrows to a. dusty line,
And the last pale splendors die
Slowly from the olive sky.
Till the thin clouds wear away
Into threads of purple-gray,
And the sudden stars between
Brighten 1n the pallld green;
T111 above the spacious east,
Blow returned one by one,
Like pal. prisoners released
_ From the dungeons of the sun,
‘9 Capella and her train appear
In the glittering Charioteer}
Till the rounded moon shall grow
Great above the eastern snow. ‘
Shining into burnished cold:
And the silver earth outrolled
In the misty yellow light
Shall take on the width of night.

Chinese Patience.
A wonderful example of patience
is afforded by a copsular report
dealing with the manu acture of salt
in central China. Holes about six
inches in diameter are bored in the
rock by means of a primitive form of
iron drill, and sometimes a. period of-
forty years elapses before the coveted
brine is reached, so that the work is
carried. on from one generation to an-
other. During this time the boring,
as may be imagined, goes down to an
lmmenSo depth. henbrine is found
‘amboo tubes by a
rope working, 0 er a large drum
turned ‘ by bullocks. The brine is
evaporated in iron cauldrons, the
heat being ,s‘upplied by natural gas,
whichis generally found in the vicin.
, ity of the salt Wells. ' V -
THE WEATHER.
The weather to-dag/ promises to be

pay a visit to Mr. . S. Lyons’ place.
