Entertaining and Instmctive Home J cwmal, Especially Devoted toJocal Weiss and Interests. .NORWALK, CONN., FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1893. ’1 Phillips Brooks’ Successor. The new Bishop of Massachusetts was chosen yesterday. The Episcopal Diocesan Convention appointed the Rev. Dean Lawrence, of the Episcopal Theological School at Cambridge," to be Bishop Brooks’ successor. It will doubtless prove a wise choice. The Australian ballot was used. Bishop Hare, of South Dakota, a leading High Churchman, was one of the candidates. Bishop Lawrence is Low Church. ... The Harris Case. There was a strong popular senti- ment in favor of the commutation of the death sentence of Carlyle Harris to imprisonment for life. The senti- ment existed not only because of the growing aversion to capital punish- ment, but because many believed that, however bad morally Harris might have been, the testimony produced . against him did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was guilty. This sentiment was greatly strength- ened by the evidence in the Buchanan case wherein similar medical expert . testimony to that which convicted Har- _ ris was shown to be utterly worthless. It is Only fair to assume that Governor Flower has acted conscientiously and with due deliberation in this matter. However views may differ as to the right or wrong of capital punishment there can be no doubt that the laws should be enforced thoroughly, im- partially and without fear or favor. Governor Flower would have done wrong if he had permitted any preju- dice against the~law to sway or guide his decision. It was his duty to decide as to whether there appeared to be good ground for clemency upon the merits of the particular case before him, and without reference to any general and abstract principle outside of the case. The Genesis of Arbor Day. Arbor Day, that is to be celebrated in Connecticut to-day, is of age, hav. been in existence a little over twenty- one years. It was on January 4, 1872, that Hon. Sterling Morton, now secre- tary of agriculture, introduced and the . Nebraska state board passed a resolu- tion urging the people of that state to plant trees on Wednesday, the 10th of the following April._ The people of that state responded by planting more than 1,000,000 trees on that date. The people voluntarily observed the day in 1873 and Governor Furnas in 1874 made official proclamation recommending to the people that they again observe the day and petition the Nebraska legisla- ture to make it a legal holiday. For the next eleven years the inhabitants of the Nebraska celebrated Arbor day with constantly increasing interest, but it was not until 1885 that the legis- lature took official action in the matter. Then the date was changed to April 22- Long before this, however, other states had followed Nebraska’s example in naming a public Arbor day, most of them by especial legislative enactment. Thence the interest spread East, West, North and South, so that by the time- a/Nebraska’s tardy legislature had see- onded the recommendations of Gover- nor Furnas, millions of new trees were growing in widely separated regions. The literature of Arbor day has grown almost into a library. James Russell Lowell,George William Curtis, George H. Boker, John Boyle O’Reilly, John Burroughs, Edward Everett Hale, Ed- mund Clarence Stedman and other litterateurs have contributed prose and poem in praise of Arbor day. ' In most of the states and territories the anni- qersary is kept in April, but in many sections of the West it ispractically im- possible to to plant tress before May because of the deep snow and hard host. *..___— Amusements.

Fletcher, of Hartford, a di- At Hartford. The House finally passed the electric street railway bill after a two hour: discussion at the afternoon session. Mr. Wood’s two amendments, striking out section 7 and 8 of the bill, in which the paralleling of steam railroads and the carrying of merchandise by electric railroads was prohibited unless after public hearing the railroa commis- sioners granted the railways authority. Mr. Wood’s amendments passed by a large majority on a viva voce vote. Then a number of other amendments were plastered to the. bill ; one pro- vided for the enforcement by manda- mus of orders of the railroad commis- sioners.- This was passed. . Mr. Lees of Westport moved to strike out of section 17, the words “board of railroad commissioners” and to substi- tute wherever they occurred in that section “superior court”; passed. Mr. Rockwell of West Hartford pf- fered the following amendment, which was passed : Section 17, line 6, after the word “distance,” insert not exceeding one- half mile where two or more railway companies are operating in the same city or town ; but where the tracks of a suburban road connect with the tracks of the city road the superior court may authorize such suburban road to use the track, or tracks, of said connecting road, from the place where such roads meet to some central point in such city. provided the length of track so used does not exceed the length of tracks actually owned and operated by such suburban road. For defending the Senate bill Mr. ,Gunn was charged with subserviency to the railroads, an imputation which he vigorously resented. He called down Mr. Lees and ”several others who said mean things about him in his characteristic style. Finally, when Mr. Lees referred to him as Esau, Mr. A1- len, of Sprague, of the committee said Mr. Lees’, remarks were insulting to the committee, and were not made by a gentleman. Mr. Lees called him to order. and at last the members quieted down enough to vote on the paralleling and freight clauses. . Bridgeport and New Haven were each voted by the House yesterday an appropriation of $100,000 for a state normal school. It is provided that this be paid by the state in four install- ments of $25,000 each. When the mat- ter came up Hopkins moved that its consideration be postponed to next Thursda at 12 o’clock. Barlow of Stamfor objected on the ground that there was a full attendance and and the House could dispose of the matter now as well as any time. ,pone until. to-day). Sum of Water ury moved that the bill be divided and the section relating ”to Brid eport be taken up first. Hotch- kiss of ew Haven objected and car- :ried his point. Sanger of the commit- vor of the bill. He said the claims of Bridgeport and New Haven. had been urged by their most representative cit- izene. The committee had recommen- ded both schools because of the Opln- ion that there was room and need for both. He felt sure that each would have many pupils and thought the state " should have even more than these two. ~ , Statistics showed that there were in the state 2,647 teachers who had not re- ceived a normal school training, which was something all teachers should have. The committee had “been accused of disposing of the appeals of the two cit- ies by a compromise as the most con- venient way out of it, but this is de- nied. The only consideration over which the hesitated was that of ex- pense. an this had been arranged so that the burden would not fall heavily in any one year. Beardsley supported the bill in .an able speech. This was a progressive age, he said” We were better fed, clothed and housed than our predeces- sors and progress in educational mat- ters should also be maintained. Fair- normal schools more than any other section'of the state. The Bridgeport training school was an exCellent insti- tution, but it could not supply the de- mand for teachers in that city. The expense was so distributed as to consti- tute no cause for objection. , Hotchkiss said its educational depart- ment was the last one in which the state should cut down the expenses. Rockwell eXpressed sympathy with the cause of education and thought the field demanded more than two schools. Noble, of East Windsor, favored one school at a time. Healey advocated the bill in asp’eech which was applaud- ed. He said his town of Windsor .Locks was willing to pa its share of taxation towards establi ing training schools in such cities as New Haven and Bridgeport. Gunn made a rattling speech for the .bill, and Williams, of Glastonbury, said it was the first. duty of the state to educate its children properly. Several others advocated the measure. The bill was passed, there being not more than .half a dozen dissenting votes. President Wren and Secretary Hallen, of the Bridgeport board of Education, were present at the debate and naturally felt greatly elated at the success of a cause for which they have worked l0 hard. The House concurred with the Sen- ate in recommittiug_the corrupt prac- tice act.

He then offered an amendment, that the bill should not prohibit licenced druggists from selling proprietary medicines, or to prevent the advertising of such medicines. Jones said there was nothing inthe bill susceptible of sucha construction. Mr. Pierce’s amendment was adopted, however, and the bill was then passed by 13 to 4. - Sudden Death. James F.

WASHINGTON, May 5,—No light from a source connected with the Hawaiian isl- ands can be thrown from here upon the news from Honolulu made public yester- day. Mr. Carter, the last remaining mem- ber of the annexation commission, which reabhed Washington Feb. 3 left the city last week to return home. r. Thurston, the head of the commission, is still in this country, but has been for the past month at Chicago in the discharge of his duties as commissioner to ‘the World’s fair from Hawaii, Dr. Mott Smith, whom the dis-* patches say Mr. Thurston is to succeed as diplomatic representative of the provis- ional government to the United States. has not been in .Washington for several weeks. Whatever communications have been re- ceived at the state department from Special Commissioner Blount are kept a profound secret, so that whatever news he may have to impart will probably be old by the time the communications are made public by request of congress or otherwise. Persons with whom Paul Neumann talked while he was in Washington re- cently as attorney for Queen'Liliouakalani, judging from his statements then, are not surprised by the statement that he. had abandoned the queen’s cause upon her rc- . fusal to accept a pension from the pro- visional government, relying instead upon the hope that the United States will restore her to the throne. Mr. Neumann’s position while here was that the queen was entitled to the use of the crown lands during life or the pay- ment of a pension ‘ commensurate in some degreewith the revenue derived therefrom by the government. Upon the subject of the restoration of the monarchy he was emphatic. "That event will never be.” he said. “lt is idle to talk of such an event. The people do not want, or ask for it, and the United States will not be a party to such a. movement, and without the assistance of the United States the queen can never again occupy her throne.” Brazilian Ships Sail Away.
