The Lincoln Monument Shame.
The condition of the Lincoln monu-
ment at Springfield, 111., as depicted
by the Chicago Evening Journal, says
the Washington Post, is not only a re-'
flection upon the association which has
this memorial structure in charge, but
upon the State of Illinois, which year
after year has neglected to adopt meas-
ures for its proper protection and
preservation.
The monument was dedicated in
1874, and if the statement of our es-
teemed Chicago contemporary be true,
as there is too much reason to believe
it is, it has since been handed over to
the wasting elements of decay and the
devastation of relic hunters, until the
stately mausoleum now presents the
appearance of a melancholy ruin.
One public-spirited and patriotic citi- -
zen of Chicago, however—Chicago
which orders holidays in honor of Em-
peror William and St. Patrick—has
taken it upon himself to see that the
general assembly of the state proceed
at once to care for the crumbling pile,
and rescue it from further desecration.
All honor to Charles L. Hammond for
his efforts in this behalf.
It is shocking to the grateful rever-
ence of the American people for the
name and fame of Abraham Lincoln
that such vandalism should be perpe-
trated upon his immortal memory, and
if Illinois needs aid in the restoration
of his monument, they will cheerfully
assume the patriotic duty.

OPERA HOUSE.
"Despite the unpropitious weather a
large audience assembled at the Opera
House last night to welcome Norwalk’s
favorite actress Ullie Akerstrom in her
new play “ Miss Rora, ”'in. which she
appeared to the greatest advantage and
delighted the entire audience. The
for hunt in which . Ullie appeared
mounted on her trained horse Gyp,
and followed by a pack of bounds, was
a very realistic and taking feature of
the play. The support was excellent
and the result was a very fine evening’s
entertainment. Miss Akerstrom is a
clever actress, and has such a hold on
the hearts of the Norwalk people that
she always feels assured of being greet-
ed by a litrge audience whenever she
visits the town. To-mght she will ap-
pear. in the popular [four act comedy
drama of “ The Ballet Dancer,” and it
is safe to predict that the house Will be
crowded.

' “Lost in London,” a play full of in-

' Held Up at his Door.
Two daring young rufiians held up
Jeremiah Bernd, the cigar dealer, in
front of his residence on Delay street,
Danbury at 10' 'o’clcck Wednesda
evening, and relieved him of his watc
and chain.- The robbery took place
beneath the glare of an electric light.
and the highwaymen were identified
by Mr. Bernd when he confronted
them in the police station later in the
night. They were Patrick Carlin, a
hatter, of Norwalk, and Oyen‘Sulli-
van. a hatter, of. Danbury. .
Mr. Bernd saw the men approaching
him as he turned into Delay street
from Liberty street. The taller of the
two caught him by the throat as he
was entering his yard, and held him
against the fence. Mr. Bernd is lame
and'carries a heavy Walking stick, but
the hand in which he carried the stick
was rtiearest the fence and he could not
use 1 . .
The man who caught him by the
throat pointed a revolver at his head
and the other who was a mere boy in
‘appearance demanded his money. Mr.
Bernd was surprised at-the boldness of
the attack and he thought at first that
it was a joke. When he found that
they were in earnest he shouted for
help and the highwaymen took to their
heels. One ran down Liberty street
and the other went towards the rail-
way yard. Mr. Bernd's family heard
him cry for help and thought it was
some intoxicated man. When Mr.
Bernd reached the house he found that
his watch was gone. He at once re-
ported the case to the police and Ser-
geant Waggneor detailed Officers Fish-
.er and Brady to find'the robbers. He
gave an excellent description of the
men, and the policemen at once recog-
nized that of Sullivan, the younger of
the two.
Half an hour later Policeman Fisher
passed Mrs. Dillon’s saloon on Ives
street and saw Sullivan and a stranger,
who ansWered Mr. Bernd’s description
of the other man in conversation at the
bar. He called Policeman Brady and
they arrested the men. ' '
On the way to the station Sullivan
asked, “What am I pinched for, high-
way robbery ?”
Carlin refused to 'give his name and
ago. While they were being searched
Sullivan made a remark, and Carlin
said, “Shut up, do you want'to convict
us now.” ~
In the city court Mr._Bernd positive-
ly identified the prisoners as the ones
who robbed him. Carlin and Sullivan
denied that they left the Dillon saloon
during the evening, and called Leroy
Hitt to substantiate them. Carlin said
that he went to Danbury from South
Norwalk last October. to
Judge Walsh found probable cause
and bound the prisoners over to the
superior ' court under, $2,000 bail each.
They were takenj_;to jail. The watch
has not been recovered. '

Mr. Seymour’s Nomination.
President Cleveland is not forgetting
Connecticut, and if he continues to re-
has done so far everybody will be sate
isfied. He could not have done better
than in selecting Messrs. Seymour and
Bowers for high office—Bridgeport
Farmer. '
'The appointment of John S. Sey-
mour of Norwalk as patent commis-
missioner will command general satis-
faction. He possesses excellent abili-
ties, and he is an apt student and a
hard worker. He also adds another to
the long and lengthening list of Yale
graduates who are receiving federal fa-
vors. It is supremely fitting that the
patent commissioner should be a resi-
dent of Connecticut. * *
* * Mr. Seymour makes the third
consecutive commissioner from Con-
necticut. Commissioners Mitchell and
Simonds were model officers and if the
ambitious gentleman» from Norwalk
can match their records he will confer
illustrious honor on himself, on the
state and on the country—Waterbury

Hon. John S. Seymour, of Norwalk
has been nominated by the President
for Commissioner of Patents, to suc-
ceed Hon‘. Wm. E. Simonds. Mr.
Seymour’s career onward and upward
is somewhat meteoric, of late. It was
only yesterday that his appointment
to the insurance commissionership of
this state was practically confirmed
by the senate at Hartford. He seems
to evince a refreshing disregard for
the poet’s injunction, and is 'on
.with the new lov‘e before he is off with
the old. But Mr. Seymour is a .good
fellow and his host of friends will re-
joice in his rapid preferment. He will
shine resplendent (in any sphere to
which he is called.—Winsted Herald.
The nomination of John S. Seymour
for Commissioner of Patents, will
spective of party: Mr. Seymour is a
lawyer by profession and will enter
upon the duties of the office fully com-
petent to discharge them to the'satis-
faction of everybody. During the
last Legislature, which by the Way
public life, he attracted considerable
attention by his arguments in favor of
a Constitutional Convention. He also
was quite prominent in the guberna-
torial muddle and his speeches showed
much careful thought. He is a resi-
dent of Norwalk and was again a can-
didate at the last election for State
Senator, but was defeated. Then fol-
lowed his nomination and confirms-
tion as Insurance . Commissioner, the-
fresh in the minds of all. As Oom-
'missioner of Patents Mr. Seymour will
have a broader: field to display his
merits, and there is no doubt but
what Connecticut will be proud of
him. He makes the third Connecticut
man to fill this important place, Mitch.
