Yale‘vs. Oxford.
It is now understood that the Oxford-
Yale international athletic games will
take. place on July 14, on grounds long
historic by reason of the many great
' contests that have been fought thereon
Of the composition of the Oxford
team, nothing is at present known on
this side of the Water, but, from rec-
ords made by some of the old univer-
sity’s best men during the past- year or
two, there is enough good material
available to keep the American boys
very busy from start to finish. In
none of the events on the varied pro-
gram is there anything like the proba-
bilitv of a walkover. The two nations
“iiicli will be represented cannot but
be deeply interested in the friendly
rivalry aid its outcome; there has
I rev. too little of amicable competition
in the past. Professionals in several
lines of physical endeavor have met——
some on this side of the Atlantic and
some on the other-—but the public has
always felt a trifle suspicious of the
professional. The young men who will
flaunt the blue of Oxford and the blue
of Yale in each other’s faces are thor-
oughly representative ; their efforts to
achieve supremacy will be incontest-
ably real; they will show the world
how cleanly and satisfactory is amateur
sport and will at the same time. it is
hoped, smash more than one record.
Of Course, everybody here hopes that
Yale will come ofi' conqueror.

Fruit Prospects.
The law of compensation still abides
to work its wonders in the realm of nat-
ure, if press dispatches from the south
in regard to the watermelon are to be
believed. Amonth ago both peaches
and watermelons promised to be dis-
couragingly few,but now it is said by re-
liable authorities that the young water-
melons are big as a small boy’s fist and
appear to be growing nicely. The frost
though late and severe, did not cause.
much damage. An inspection of the
melon territory in the southeastern part
of Georgia shows that the area of culti-
vation this season is 7,376 acres, as com-
pared with 8,839 acres last year. The
crop this year will ripen about one week
late, and the first sh parent will not be
made before J uue 10. A few cars may
come in from Florida before that. One
railrc'ad company running through
southeastern Georgia handled 3,633 cars
of watermelons from that section last
year. It is thought that, in spite of the
decreaSed acreage, the shipments will
be almost as heavy this year. Of the
peach crop no such good news is forth-
coming. The cry of “wolf" proved
true this time. Except in Florida,
where a full crop is expected, and lower
Mississippi and Texas, where the indi-
cations favor a partial crop, there will
be but few peaches in the commercial
orchards of the United States lying east
of the ltccky mountains and south of
Pennsylvania. Nonth of the southern
boundary line of Pennsylvania less
damage was done, and the outlook for
peaches is good in the larger portion of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, north-
ern Ohio, western Michigan and the
Hudson river district in New York. In
western New York and in the Connecti-
cut valley the percentage of live peach
buds is small, but with favorable weath-
er a partial crop may be expected. On
the Pacific slope no serious injury to
buds or young fruit occurred and the
outlook is good for a lull crop of all
kinds. The new orchard country in
Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, and
Arizona also escaped. It is therefore
apparent that peaches eaten on this side
of the continent this year will have to
come from th‘é Pacific. .west and the
north. Virginia has but three per cent
of her crop left, Maryland will have less
than half a crop and Georgia is going
to have but one per cent of the expect-
ed harvest. The peach-crop liar is
simply nowhere this year. But there
will be watermelons.
Repudiate the Income Tax.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans
in the Senate or out of it, should con-
sent to that short-sighted Surrender to
Populism which we call the income tax.
It has no place in the philosophy of
either party. It is the unwholesome
spawn of sectional and class prejudice,
Wul‘ med into mischievous activity by
political cowardice and - folly. It rep-
resents a base and craven submission
todemagogues and agitators. It is the
.thin edge of the wedge of anarchy. It
is an overture to Most, and Schwab, and
Berkmann. Its real organ is the
‘ ‘Brandfak'el” and its proper instrument
the bomb.
Against this insidious assault upon
free goverment and enlightened insti-
tutions, every man who has a vote in
Congress and who cares for the safety
and the welfare of his country ought to
stand with the strength and pertinacity
of adamant. .To men of partisan devo-
tion it is only necessary to say that the
measure is not countenanced in any au-
thorized declaration of faith, of either
party. To men of intelligence it is
enough to say that it is an unequal and
a discriminating tax-a penalty set on
' thrift, a condemnation of industry and
providence. And even where party
principal and political intelligence have
been sacrificed to a false and meretri-
cious expediency, it is still in order to
ask our Democratic friends, at least,
whether they can afford by passing this
rider to the tarifi‘ bill to eliminate from
‘ the Democratic equation the great facto
ms of New York, New Jersey, and Con-
necticut with their fifty-two electoral
votes- whether they propose to barter
that great party treasure for Kansas
and Lowelling. for , Colorado and
Waite? If so, then it means that Demo-
cracy is to be surrendered to Populism,
and that we have seen the last, for
many years at any rate, of the splendid
structure reared by such architects as
Jefferson and Jackson.
Bepudiate the income: tax, says the
Washington Post; Let I’opulists cling
to it if they will, for it is the melan-
choly abortion of their crazy pains, but
lepubliciins should spurn it because it
is the very contradiction of Republican-
ism, and Democrats should join hands
against it as against the deadliest ene-
my of their party’s name and fame.
Democrats in congress are not here to
yield to every popular caprice and fall-
acy. They are here to stand between
the people and the perils that menace
their pl‘Orpel‘liy. They are here that
they may, when the issue is made
between society and chaos, stand for
order, for public welfare. and for civ-
ilizalion. They are here id vindicate
their Convictions, not to consultthtir
selfish terns—lo loud, to enlighten, and
to protect the people, not to betray
them to every passing madness.
Kill the income tax. Duty, patri-
otism,honor, all point the Way!

Historical Places to be Marked.
The General Committee in charge of
the Celebration of June 19th and 20th
WlSll to call the attention of the public
to the following facts. - ‘ .
: he purpose of ihe various entertain-
ments is both histUIlCul and memorial.
It is hoped that among the results
will be a new and livlier interest in our
town and its history an appreciation of
its age, and the e-Venls “men have
made it iueinoruble; and that by the
“Event” of June 20$h,'u sum'mll be
raised which wnl enable the committee
to erect suitable iableis at various
points about [lie town, 0 Ululk 11.1 an
enduring to- in tho eVents which in Col.
court and It. Volatiuiiary times have
made those spots historic. The vari-
ous features of this celebration is in
the hands of competent committees,
who have upended much thought and
labor upon them. -, ' . .
It now remains, for the Citizensbf
our whole town to show by their active
interest and corporation, their sympa-
thy 3nd appreciation of the obiects of
this celebration. _
The public recognition of these events
has been already too long delayed. It
is important that it should be done,
while yet it is possible to marl: With
accuracy the location of the events we
wish to commemorate. . . ‘
The. programme includes the WOl‘li of
the Clergy, the Public and Parochial
schools, those interested in forming a.
Historical Society, the 8011s andDangh-
ters of the American Revolution and
the Municipal Authorities of our town
and two cities.
The towns of Wilton, Westport and
New Canaan have been also invited to
join with us in this work as the origi-
nal town of Norwalk embraced them
within its borders. As every locality
is interested in this matter. of Memor-
ial Tablets, so is every Citizen invited
to assist in making this celebration a
success.
A complete programme will be pub-
lished, giving the names of those com-
mittees in charge.
The time selected for our celebra-
tion is June 19th and 20th.
This date was the one from which
our town dates its organization.
Two hundred and forty-four years
ago the town began its existence. It is
hoped that when its tWo hundred and
fiftieth birthday occurs. a worthy cele-
bration will mark its advent. .
We may not live to see that time.
When it arrives we hope that those
fortunate citizens who are here may
find some wayside reminders in the
form of memorial tablets which will
indicate to every passer by, the historic
nature of the ground over which they
daily pass.
The localities which it is desirable to
mark are in part as follows: .

C. L. Seaver of Birmingham, Conn.,
suffered from Bright’s disease and
{rheumatism near the heart. “My at-
tending physician,” said Mr. Seaver.
“told me I could not live. I then asked
him if he thought Dr. Kennedy's Fav-
orite Remedy Would hell) me: he said
he had heard it well spoken of and that
I had better try it. The result wasI
am sound and well to—day and what’s
more, .i have since then recommended
it to upwards of 300 people, and I have
yet to find a person it has not helped.”
It is a remedy that appeals to the
common sense of people by striking at
the root of the disease: life and health

Medical writers claim that the success—
ful remedy for na: 31 catarrh must be non-
irrualiug, easy of application, and one
that will reach the remote sores and
ulcerated surfaces. The history of the
efforts to treat calarrli is proof positive
that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely’s
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done, and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact. Our
druggists keep it.

The corsage bouquet is in again; but
the only flower which is really chic and
worn on the avenue is the English vio

than ever before; often they are from
six to eight inches in diameter They
are tied with many loops and ends 0
inch-wide violet satin ribbon, and fast
ened on the bust just in the centre of
the cor-sage. With evening dficss a
slightly smaller bunch is often fastened
just in front of the left shoulder, half
of it resting on the bare neck. With
white or black gowns the effect is very
chic; but they are also worn with those

Let their babies cry with colic, giving
mother no rest night or day. How foolish
when Dr. Hand's Colic cure gives imme-

from the stomach, quiets the nerves and
gives restful sleep. Mother send to day
to your drug store for 8. 25¢ bottle. Think
