One of the first things the street committee should do this spring it to raise the crosswalks so that they can be used, and then hire a man to stand at each with shotgun during the sum- mer and shoot the first man that attempts to raise the street above them and convert them into gutters as they are now.-South Norwalk Sentinel.
 Right you are, friend Sentinel, right you are, and we're "wid" you. If South Nor walk has suffered more than Waterbury from missing crosswalks you have ou1 sympathy. Away in the dim past the city fathers saw fit to lay few crosswalks, but alas, most of them have disappeared and in their places in many instances can be found a broad waste of water. Oh, for the man with his gun

CHlNAMEN IN A DILEMMA.

They Passed Through Canada En Route
 East and Were Stopped at the Line.
 NIAGARA FALLS, Ont Oct. 9.-Four China men en route from Chicago arrived here and were refused admittance to the United States. Up to Oct. 1st Chinamen could pass through Canada ill bond over Canadian railway from one United States port to another. The bonding process was put in operation to show that the Chinaman was in transit from one American port to another, also in order to evade the Canadian duty placed on each Chinaman entering the country. The exclu- sion bill will not permit them even the privi- lege of passing over a Canadian railway in bond from one American port to another. The four Chinamen were en4oute over the Wabash and Grand Trunk railway from Council Bluffs, San Francisco and Chicago to New York. They stated that they had been west visiting relatives. The authorities on the American side claimed that once out of the United States they became amenable to the act and cannot return, although the rail- way authorities did everything in their power to enable them to do so. The outlook is that the four celestials will have to pay a tax of $50 each and become citizens of her majesty'. dominion.

IN HIS OWN PECULIAR WAY.
Mayor Hewitt, of New York. Accepts Two
 Denominations.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Mr. Hewitt last night accepted the County Democracy's re- nomination for mayor. In an address to the committee of notification he said that he had nothing to say against the Tammany nomi- nee, MT. Grant, personally, but he was op- posed to Tammanys methods Its nomina- tions were made in an un ,emocratic way, by a secret clique. They represented only the spells system.
 When Tammany nominated him (Hewltt two years ago it was not because they liked him, but because they thought he might save them from utter ruin. It was like the devil quoting scripture-they didn't like it. And when he was elected he was free, and re- garded himself the servant of the whole people, not of Tammany.
 He had now been renominated by the clti- zens and the Democracy, and would accept both nominations without pledges. The crit icisms upon him were trivial. He was called a crank He admitted it. It was said his manners were bad. That was true. He believed that if his manners had been good he would have been president eight years ago His opinio on Americanism and naturalization had been criticised. It would be as pertinent to criticise his views on the
 transit of Venus or the origin of yellow fever. His opinions could not alter the laws.

VIM. O'CONNOR.

oarsman. Teemer, who by long odds is the popular favorite, has the broadest back and the finest skin of any of the rowers. He works with tremendous reach of arm while on the stretches, but while the curves contents himself with one hand work only. His big muscles play beneath skin that shines like satin and it is evident that be means to be the man who will grasp the tempting sl 300 prize.
 Gaudaur, who had won at 6 D. m. the $250 offered for the winner of the first days race, does not row with bare arms, like the other men, but encloses his body ill a rough gray undershirt with sleeveless red jersey above pulls stroke that is long and even and gets his machine over the ground quickly. His stroke is difficult to describe, being shorter than Teemer's and longer than Plaisted's, but without trying he seems to have the miles put up very rapidly on his score.
 Squirting began at about 9 o'clock, when Gaudar, Lee and Mckay indulged in few brushes. Gaudar had the pole and in spite of the sturdy muscles of Lee and the long sweep of Mckay kept it. The work in the straight portions of the track was intensely exciting as, after having passed the curves with the caution that trifling accident yesterday morning prescribed, they pull their best, and as each one has his own admirers in the crowd, the cheering and yelling becomes deafening.
 Gaudaur and Hamm came into collision shortly before 10 o'clock last night, directly in front of the scorers stand, and their ma chimes became interlocked in such way that some strength was required to extricate them. No damage was done except to Hamm's 'sculler," which required some re- pairs He came on again at l0:05
 Gaudaur Teemer and Hamm spurted rapidly just before the close of the race for the second day, and an enormous amount of excitement was generated Hamm had the lead, and Gaudaur was second, but after a few very exciting tussles on the straight stretches Teemer took the lead, having passed both his antagonists.
 None of the rowers seem to be distressed, and when the bell rung at midnight the men carefully examined their scores, exchanging remarks with each other as they did SO rapidly assumed their clothes and retired te the Ashland house, where they all abide

MT. Yerkes Takes Good Counsel from the
 Mayor, and the End May be Near.
 CHICAGO Oct. 9.-There seems to be pos sibility that an arrangement may be reached by which the impending West Side strike may be averted and the North Side strike settled. The committee which President Yerkes refused to receive yesterday after noon did not, as was expected, order an i'm mediate strike on the West Side lines, but, after remaining ill session until , o'clock, de- cided to submit its report to full meeting of the men, and allow them to decide on the action to be taken Mr. Yerkes had ill the meantime, however, called on the mayor, and as a result of the conference agreed to meet committee from the strikers, stipu- lating only that the committee must be com posed of actual street car men. He also agreed, at the mayors suggestion, to dis pense with the private detectives who have been employed about the barns of the rail way company. The mayor told him that the city police were abundantly able to take care of the strike, and that until there were further developments, it would be unneces- sary to call in outside help. This action will have good effect, as the presence of the de- tectives was highly irritating to the men. The time for the conference between MT. Yerkes and the men has not yet been fixed.

SUICIDE OF A BUSINESS MAN
His Firm Was Squeezed in the Wheat Deal
 and He Could Not Stand Reverses.


 and He Could Not Stand Reverses.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9-Francis W. Williams, aged 61, senior partner of the old and exten- sive banking and commission house of Will iams Black SJ Co.,, shot himself dead in room of the Grand Union hotel, owing to mental distress, caused by insomnia and worry over the recent troubles of his firm. The firm was caught in Hutchinson's squeeze of September wheat, and was obliged to ac- cept the leniency of creditors in order to tide over the trouble. This was the first embar- rassment the house has suffered in its long career, its credit having hitherto been prac- tically unlimited and Mir. Williams was prostrated by the blow. He had been con- fined to house ever since. Yesterday against the orders of his physician and the advice of his relatives, he insisted on going out. He went to the hotel and asked for a room where he could be undisturbed. Later he sent for glass of liquor, but it was untouched. His sons and partners, late in the day, becoming alarmed at his absence, began searching for him, and finally traced him to the hotel. The door of his room was broken in, and MT Williams was found dead on the floor in a pool of blood, which had issued from bullet hole in his head He had left note to his wife saying that business troubles had wor- ried him so much that life was unbearable, and he felt that it would be better for his family and himself for him to die
