" Truth aboueall things.’ '
FRIDAY. JANUARY 27. "1893.
Entered in the Post-Office as a Newspapem
College Graduates.
‘ The question as to whether a college
‘-» education is a good thing for a young
man, or whether it is not'really a draw-
back to him, has become a serious one.
says the Advertiser. As our people
grow wealthier and the possession of
adequate means becomes more widely
distributed the number of young men
sent to college increases.
Fathers who never enjoyed anything
more than the facilities afi'orded by the
, crude curriculum or" a country school,
perhaps. but who have amassed a com-
fortable competence by the exercise of
their naturalabilities, are glad to send
their boys to a college and pay heavy
bills to defray the expense in the belief
that they are giving them better advan-
tages than they themselves enjoyed.
But it is a question whether the col-
lege graduate is better qualified than
the product of the “district school” for
the stern duties of life. It is a ques-
tion whether, in point of fact», the lat-
ter does not succeed oftener than the
former. 5
One may look about to observe the
effect upon the children of his friends.
Is it not the rule that the boys who
' graduate at the college are very slow to
.engage in active business pursuits?
Are they not usually contented to live
with, “the governor,” taking a small
place in his business where the work is
not arduous but affords an excuse for a
salary, or to occupy themselves with
lives of genteel leisure ? Do they show
any spirit of enterprise, any desire to
make something of themselves ?
There are thousands of fathers in the
land who will reluctantly admit that
.the only result they can see from the
fine education given their boys has
_ been to unfit them in some way or other
for business. _ -
Among the illustrious men who re-
ceived collegiate educations it seems to
‘be the fact that the most successful
were those who worked their way
through, meeting the expense by their
own labor. And so far as experience
has gone in this country, the “district
school” seems to have turned out more
successful men in all avocations than
has the college.
What is the remedy? Education is a
good thing, we all. agree. If the “dis-
trict school” 'can turn out a valuable
man, the college ought to turn out one
even more valuable. Why does it not
do so ? -
GLEASON HAD TO YIELD.
Be is Declared Notjo be the Mayor of
Long Island City.
LONG ISLAND CITY, Jan. 27.—Patrick
Jerome Gleason has surrendered. The
flag on his headquarters, in 112 Front
street, was hauled down last night, and
the great man has bowed to the mandate
of the law. For six years as Mayor of
this city he devoted his time and ener‘
gies to making himself and his bailiwick
famous, and now his reign is over.
The final blow came yesterday morning
when Justice Barnard declined to grant
a motion made by Gleason’s lawyer,
Frank H. Van Vetchen, to restrain his
opponent, Mayor Horatio S. Sanford,
from acting as Mayor. Gleason at . once
wrote Mayor Sanford acknowledging de-
feat and offering to turn over to him all
the city property inhis possession.
EMPLOYES WERE CARELESS.
Theirs the Blame for the Alton Horror-
No llIore Deaths.
ALTON, 111., Jan. 27.—There is a more
cheerful tone among those injured by the
explosion and among their friends and
physicians. Several are still hovering
between life and death, but for the past
>18 hours no deaths have be recorded.
The verdict of a new coroner’s jury in
the case of W. E. Richardson and Henry
Wiggens is that the explosion was caused
by negligence of the railroad employee.
This has awakened great interest on the
subject and the liability of the “Big
Four” Company, which maintains that
Grattan is an experienced switchman
and railroad man, and that all charges
are invalid is correspondingly called in
question.
Married and, Forfeited $50,000.
CHICAGO, Jan. '27.-Mrs. Carrie Curtis
and Alfred J. Cross were married Wed-
nesday. The bride is a widow and the
bridegroom is a widower. Mrs. Curtis is
the widow of the well-known packer. It
-is said that by her marriage she forfeits
$50,000, the report being that the will of
her late husband decrees that if she takes
to herself another husband the sum men-
tioned shall go to her children.—---—
llIr. Blaine Very “'eak.
WASHINGTON, J an. 27.-—Dr. Johnston
visited Mr. Blaine last night and remain-
ed some time at his .bedside. Vlhen he
left he said Mr. Blaine is very weak, and
did not look so well nor seem so well as
he had during the past few days. By this
statement the Doctor did not wish to
convey the impression that Mr. Blaine
had suflered a relapse or that there was
any decided change for the worse.
From Afiluence to a Jail.
BOSTON, Jan. 27.—Ten years ago Rich-
ard F. Briggs was worth upwards ofahalf
million dollars; yesterday he was sen-
tenced to three months’ imprisonment in
the House of Correction on a charge of
fraudulently obtaining money under the
pretense that it was to be turned over to
the charitableiund of the Carney Hos-
pital. -
Tho Jury Fnllod to Agree. '
NEW Yonx, Jan. 27.—The jury in the
case of W. B. Hayes, charged with p'u-
jury in swearing that he did not give n
note for $2,000 to Miss Anna Rating of
'Boohestor. N. Y., was unable to agree.
Hayes is back in jail under incl-mod hall
and will be ro-trlod at once.
ll STRANGE EXPERIENCE.
S-HE CAME Oil—TETT'ALL RIGHT,
BUT THE DANGER WAS GREAT. .
Wl'lat Few Persons Would Like to
Go Through in This World.
Seemed Almost Like a Miraculous
intervention of Providence.
One can scarcely credit it. . -
Yet it all happened, and in the little
town of East North Yarmouth, Maine.
And the lady lives to-day to tell the
story. Her name is Mrs. H. E. Skillin,
and she is well knewn and most highly
esteemed. ‘
It seems—hut we will let her"relate
the matter in her own words, just as
she gave them to our reporter.
"I began at first having trembling
feelings of the heart,” she said, “and
was very bad at times. Any little ox-
citement would make it worse, I be
came languid, and felt constantly tired
and worn. lost all my natural energy
and ambition, and was consequent-1y
weak and nervous.
“Indeed, I was so nervous at times I
could not bear to hear anyone rock a
chair. I had numbness in my right
hand so it would seem apparently dead;
and when it would come to its feeling
there would be a deathly feeling at my
stomach. ‘I had a dull, tired feeling in
my head.
"It was evident that there was a ter-
rible diseased condition of my nerves
and system which required immediate
attention. I at once began taking Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, and have taken four bottles.
MRS. H. E. SKILLIN.
‘. “I now have a good appetite and
have grown strong and recovered my
old-time energy and ambition. I do
not feel at all nervous. The dull feel-
ing in my head is all gone, and I really
feel as well as ‘I have for a number of
years.
“I consider these results remarkable
in the comparatively short time I have.
been taking the remedy, and I cannot
speak too highly of the good that it has
done me.
“I hope others affected with nervous
or chronic diseases will use Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, for
after what it has done in my case, it
will surely cure them.”
It beats all what this wonderful rem-
edy will do and we do not wonder that
so many people regard it as a life and
health saver.
We know it to be perfectlv harmless
and purely vegetable. All druggists
keep it for sale for $1. but it must not
be classed with so called patent medi-
cine :, for it is a physician’s prescrip-
tion. the discovery of the great nerve
specialist. who is so wonderfully success-
ful in curing chronic or long standing
complaint-s. Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th
Street. New York. The Doctor can be
consulted without charge by any and
all who require medical advice and
treatment, either by visiting his office
01' writing him about the complaint. .
At any rate, use his wonderful medi-
cine.

~ Well Known‘ln Norwalk.
After being out of the state prison.
where he had been spending a term
of one year for. forgery, 1n : South Ner-
walk, for only 20 days. says the Bridge-
port. Standard, George Starr was ar-
rested last night for the same crime by
Officer Finn. Early Wednesday morn-
ing a young man who gave his name ;
as Charles Brenner, told‘Officer Fallon
that he had been approached by a man ‘
who wanted him to go into a scheme
by which he could make about $200
that day.‘ The scheme turned out to
be one to pass forged checks and Bren-
ner did not care to enter into it.
The afi‘air was at once reported to
the captain and Oflicer Finn was de-
tailed to look out for the man. The
officer got on his track during the al-
ternoon and in a short time found that
he had tried to pass a check, drawn to
the order of George F. Brewer and
signed by W. B. Hall & 00., at the of-
ficeof the Bridgeport Coal company.
The clerk was suspicious of him and
refused to cash the check although
Starr told him that he was employed
by Hall 8: 00. From there Starr went
to several saloons and finally in the
place of N. L. Bonneau he met Joseph
Brooks whom he invited to drink.
Both men inbibed and then entering
into conversation left the place and
walked down Main street. Brooks
lives on Main street near Union and
when the couple reached his home he
invited his new friend in.
They chatted awhile and then Starr
said he would have to go so as to tran-
sact some business at the West End.
He invited Brooks to accompany him
and they went out together.
Instead of going to the West End
they went down Union street to Jim
Jacques’s saloon where Starr bought a
drink. He tendered the check in pay-
ment, but the bartender refused it and
Brooks paid for the beverage. From
there they went back to Main street
and were standing on the corner talk-
ing a little after 6 o’clock when Officer
Finn arrested them both.
Yesterday morning Brooks pleaded
not guilty to thecharge of trying to
pass a forged check, but Starr entered
a plea of guilty. Starr was as cool as
the conventional cucumber, but Brooks
appeared to be very nervous. He told
of his meeting with Starr and Starr
then cooly told Judge Kelsey that he
had never met Brooks until yesterday,
and that he Was not implicated in the
forgery. He was released by the com t,
235081;”! was bound over in the sum of
'40 . - '
Starr claims to belong in New York,
but the local police know him of old.
One year ago he was arrested in N or-
Walk for forgery and was sentenced to
one year in the state prison. This had
just expired and he had been a free
man for only 20 days when arrested.
He took his arrest as a matter of course
and displayed no feeling at all except
on one occasion. . -
When Officer Finn searched him he
found a photograph of a very pretty
young lady, with the inscription, “ To
My Dear Brother.” The name had'
been written below, but that part of
officer took the picture away he said
with a burst of feeling: “ For God’s
sake don’t keep that. Can’t Ihave it
back ? I value it more than any thing
else on earth.” The picture was re-
turned to him and he received it with
every expression of thanks. This morn-
1ng his picture was taken and will be
added to the collection of criminals
now in the rogue’s gallery.
.Starr’s wife secured a divorce from
him in the Superior Court last Friday
on the ground of intolerable cruelty.
The couple resided in South Norwalk
to .Wethersfield. '
