lHE BODY FOUND.

Little MorrisHarris was
Drowned.’

The Mystery of Hls Disappearance
Cleared.

The body of little Morris, the three
year-old son of Simon Harris who
keeps a fancy goods store on the Wash-
ington street bridge, who suddenly dis-
appeared yesterday morning, was dis-
covered by Frank Ghitto shortly after
nine o’clock, this morning, floating in
the water near the spiles under the
railroad bridge. When discovered the
body was lying face downward w1th the
back partly out of water. Ghitto sum-
moned Ralph Lockwood who lifted the
lifeless body into his boat and rowed
to the carriage bridge and then tender-
ly carried it to its parents’ home.
Medical Examiner Burke was sum-
moned and pronounced it a case of
accidental drowning.

This accidental drowning makes the
second one that has occurred at the
Washington street bridge within a year.

All along the bridge, at the rear of
the houses, there is no protecting rail-
ing and as there are a great many fami-
lies residing there having children who
make these wharves their play ground,
it is wonderful that no more distressing
accidents of this kind have occurred.

The proper authorities should at
once take steps to have this danger re-
moved before some other little tot falls
overboard and meets the fate of Morris
Harris.

 

Washington Notes.

Commissioner of Patents Seymour
has returned from his visit to Connec-
ticut. He stopped over in New York
on route and offered the position of
Chief Clerk of the Patent Office to
William T. Bieuerton, city engineer of
Brooklyn, but that official could not
accept the position. Mr. Breucrton
will be remembered as the surveyor
who was in Norwalk at the time the

. sewer system was constructed.

The committee which was appointed
to select a successor to Rev. William
A. Bartlett, in the pulpit of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, has
voted to extend a call to Rev. Arthur
T. Pearson, of Philadelphia. Dr. Pear-
son is'one of the best known Presby-
terian ministers in the country, and is
also well known in London, where he
went shortly after the death of Rev.
Charles Spurgeon, the famous pastor
of the Tabernacle Church, and preached
for several months in the vacant pulpit.
He was a candidate for the Tabernacle
pastorate, but the congregation called
the younger Spurgeon, and Dr. Pear-
son thcn returned to America. Dr.
Pearson succeeded Dr. Bartlett at the
Second Presbyterian Church, Indian-
apolis, upon his coming here. Rev.
Pearson’s close relationship to the late
LeGrand Lockwood and his frequent
occupancy of the First Congregational
pulpit in Norwalk, will be recalled,
now that he is likely to assume the pae-
torate of Washington’s richest and
most aristocratic church, vacated a few
years since, by the brilliant Rev. Dr.
Paxton, when he went to the 42d street
New York Presbyterian church.

BROAD RIVER.

After the religious services in the
Broad River school-house, Sunday
morning, the sermon being preached
by Elder A. H. Parsons, the subject of
establishing a Sunday-school was intro-
duced by Elder F. M. Sheehey. After
the matter had been fully discussed, an
organization was effected by the elec-
tion of the following officers: Homer
Buttery, superintendent; I. M. For-
bell, assistant superintendent; Harry
Payne, treasurer; Edward :T. Mills,
librarian ; Denmon B. Marshall, choir-
ester; T. F. Green, janitor. Four
classes were organized and the school
will meet every Sunday at 11:30.

Elder F. M. Sheehey presided at the
meeting in the Broad River school
house Sunday night. Abut seven ty-five
persons were present and were very
much interested in Mr. Sheehey’ s re-

Sensation in Stamford.

Dr. Charles Rowell, of the Stamford
city council created a sensation in that
body last night by demanding an inves-
tigation of a charge which has been
made and which'has been quietly talked
about for the last few days.

The charge was that he made a pro-
position to Dr. Charles R. Heximer
that if the doctor would divide the sal-
ary with him'he would use his influence
to secure chimer the appointment of
Health Officer by the common council.

The latter says that he declined the
offer, but was subsequently appointed.
The salary is $400 a year, and a feature
of the alleged agreement was that Dr.
Boweil would get it increased to $600.

The council voted to hold an investi-
gationin which the entire body will act
as a committee. The opening session
will be held next Tuesday evening. '

A Family Jar Causes Her Disap-
pearance.

 

The old saw, that the course of true
ove never runs smooth, was verified on

Wednesday when Charles Barraclough,
of South Norwalk, and (his wife had a
war of words, and after his departure
from the house Mrs. Barroclough took
her leave.

To-day Mr. Barraclough and friends
are searching everywhere for the lost
wife and have pledged the police to
secrecy in regard to the matter, making
the life of the reporter a burden in his
efforts to unravel the story.

As far as can be learned the story as
stated to the GAzarrn, this morning, is
as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Barraclough
had a dispute over some trivial matter
on Wednesday and as soon as Mr. Bar-
raclough had left the family home in
Smithvilie, below Woodward avenue,
Mrs. B'a‘rraclough walked 6; Meadow
street and boarded a Tramway car.
She rode as far as Van Zant avenue,
East N orwalk, and then alighted, since
which time no trace of her has been
found. Although diligent search has
been made she had as thoroughly dis-.
appeared as thOugh the ground had
opened and swallowed her up.

It is said that Mr. Barraclough feels

that if she is found everything will be

tion.

.. ‘. Q.

' WOMAN As A WOMAN sees HER. "

Masculine Aspirations and Slavish Imi-
tations of the Other Sex.

Mrs. Edwin Knowles thus discourses
upon the the twentieth century woman:

Will the coming woman, the woman of
our dreams, the twentieth century wu-
uan, be the overwhelming success all so
confidently expect? The picture is allur-
ing as set forth by he voluble advance
agents. But will she realize all they
promise? I doubt it. It seems to me her
masculine qualities will be too pro-
nounced, that she will be badly dressed,
smoke cigarettes and wheel around on
our streets on that indecent abomination
miscalled a safety. No one undervalucs
the progress a few years has accomplish-
ed, but has it always been for the best?
Are we not ourselves doing the very
things wehave so railed at man for do.
ing? Are we not being as selfish and ex-
clusive as we have pictured man? What
has been our complaintin the past? Is it
that we were shut out from councils and
the clubs of men? That we were denied
opportunities they should have afforded
us. But now, when the time has come
that we can . display the value of
our own liberal education, we show that
imitation is the sincerest flattery, and de-
liberately shut the door in the face of
men, and forbid their presence in our
clubs and councils. Man is a failure, says
the progressive woman. That is the most
ludicrous thing in the whole category of
crime with which man is charged. To
brand as a. failure the object toward
which she is bending every nerve.

Your reformer tell us our dress is bad.
What does she offer in exchange? Why,
man’s dress of course. She has already
absorbed his hats, his ties, collars, shirts,
cuffs, even at times his coat, leaving as
man’s sole prerogative his trousers.
Plainly does she hint at taking them al-
so? Now, with very few exceptions, I
have never seen women look well in
these purloined garments. Nature her-
self evidmtly objected to such attire for
women. Surely our clothes are pretty.
Admitting that sometimes they are made
grotesque when not suited to some par--
ticular woman, who insists on wearing a
style not intended for her, why condemn .
the mass because a few burlesque the
times?

’llhe perfect twentieth century woman
should be pretty still, as most women are
loyal enough to themselves to think that
they are so, perhaps we can waive that.
She must be truthful and honest, faith-
ful and loyal to her husband, her children
and her home: brave enough to work if
necessity compels her, capable of battling
with the world and earning her own liv-
ing, but content to let her husband do it
while he can. She ought to know enough
about the business that supports them,
should accident or death overtake him,
to be. able to put her hand to the helm
and guide the ship safely to port. She
should be just to her friends, even to her
enemies if she has them, also to her scr-
vants; strong enough to bear her burdens
without growing fretful or peevish;
strong to keep her trials and her gii'iefs
locked in her own 'bosom, and not make
herself a perpetual nusiauce with the
constant tefl'ing of them. Be proud
happy and content, to be what you Crea-
tor made you, true, noble, helpful woman-
i'y woman.

 

Spartan Training.

A young man who rode horseback to
perfection, was asked when and how he
learned.

“Oh,” said he, carelessly, “when I was
a little fellow my father put me on a.
horse, and told me how to ride. Iwas
afraid, and slid off; but every time I
touched the ground he cuffed me and set
me on again. So I found it cheaper to
learn!”

A certain stern Greenlander, when the
breakers were riding highest ever the
rocks, would place his young son ina
kayak and throw him into the surf. The
little fellow, with the double paddle in
his band, would watch his opportunity,
right himself :is he decended, and then
triumphan tly puddle through the boiling
sea. to the little haven where the canoes
land.

“You will drown your boy!” people
used to say to this Spartan father; but
the sage hunter of sealsandwhnlcs would
reply:

“if the boy cannot right :1 kayak in a
stormy son, he cannot kill :1. seal; and if
he cannot kill :1 seal, he 0. innot live in
Greenland. Andin th: it ( use he might as
well die'" -

March is coquetting witi April to-
day. It remained for the Orchard
street boy to ask. ‘I8'n’t it almost time
to plant greens. 3”
