THE London edition of the New York
Herald, recently established, is the first
daily paper to print a Sunday morning
edition in the British metropolis. The
objection that is being urged TO it by
other London dailieS is that seven days
work week viii ruin the health of the
journalists. 1t seems that they don t
use the cast-iron brand of journalist
across the blg pond.

When we consider the magnitude of the
standing armies of Europe it ought to be
matter of allowable pride for us to
know that IN our own country there are
over s 900 ZOO men available for military
duty-a vast army Of freemen daily pur-
suing their peaceful avOcations, but ready
at any moment TO gather together and
defend their hearths and homes. These
are our walls of defense; and every man
is brick

1t is explained by the friends of Mrs.
Langtry that the reason why she puts on
top boots when playing the part of the
disguised page, in As You Like 1t, - is
that the scene is laid in the forest of
Ardennes, aud that silk tights in that
locality would be torn by the brambles.
The idea is correct in one aspect, and
wrong in another. When Mrs. LangtTy
plays, the audience does not go to see the
forest of Ardennes, or the brambles. 1t
goes to see Mrs. Langtry; and it does not
like to be disappointed.

Saws a Comanche Indian clergyman:
'sWhat we need is the Bible taught in a
plain manner, instead of the whisky
flask. We want the government TO edu-
cate our children to be good and useful
citizens of this country instead of drunk
ards. Let the government appropriate
more money for teachers of q good moral
character and less for scalp-kniVes and
guns.
A striking setting forth of the financial
folly of the present treatment of the con-
victs in the New York state prisons is that
made by Superintendent LathTop's re-
port on the state account system. The
state now owns $500, 769 worth of ma
chinery and the profits of the labor of the
convicts under that system amounted to
SS3 900 month. For six months past
the convicts have virtually done no work
and the prisoners have earned $500.
NJ Eifel, the famous engineer who is
building the great tower for the coming
exposition at Paris, has had good deal
OF trouble with his workmen. They oh
jeeted to laboFing at so high an altitude
as 600 OF 700 feet unless the scale of
wages was raised in proportion. All
difficulties have, however, been AMIGA
bly, adjusted and the work now goes rap
IDLY forward, not even Sunday being
holiday. On January the tower had
attained the 200 foot level and was ex-
peeted to be completed by the middle of
March.
A theory which has obtained some ae-
eeptanee is that the advance of popula-
ton, building OF railroads, etc, IN the
far West is attended by a gradual increase
of rainfall But Professor Cleveland
Able, in the February Forum, asserts

has failed to establish that there has been
any sensible change in the climate of the

2009 years. - lie ddmpens arlor for

of that kind TO do, but it can just as
heartily congratulate more fortunate
contemporaries. People judge of the
volume of business of a town by the adj
vertising columns of its newspapers, and
so judged, Fort Worth is not fairly
weighed, for this city does not advertise
itself as does San Antonio, Dallas. Waco,
Houston or Austin.

The Newtown bee., 1889-07-26

After long and tedious illness of both consumption and heart disease, the result of inflammatory rheumatism, El- mer Hayes died on Sunday morning. He was young man of genial nature and possessed of many intimate and sabstan- fial friends who will long remember and respect his name. He was for several years superintendent of the ssBoys' club" of New Haven, sustained by few wealthy and benevolent citizens of the city. Many poor boys are gathered to- gether there, every evening, to enjoy reading, games and the sports of we'll furnished gymnasium. MT Hayes proved the most successful superintendent the club has yet had. He leaves wife and three children. The funeral took place at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev D. Osborne; E.. B. Wheeler, George Coley, George Burritt, Charles Nichols, George Lyon and Edward Corn ing were bearers.
 Mr and Mrs c. c. Sherman of Wood bridge and Mr and Mrs Milderberger, and Miss Ellen Hayes of New Haven attended the funeral of Elmer Hayes.

It is now authorltatively stated that Newtown will be expected to raise $25,000 for the Saugatuck Valley road and that Lawyer Wilson of Westport will give it his personal attention, as soon as Westport's contribution of $75,00O is completed. The sum has reached nearly or quite 5000 and the rest will probably be secured in ten days or two weeks.
 Lawyer Wilson has given his entire attention to this project and has person ally aided the work of canyassing. He said if the required $100,0o0 was already raised, men would be at work on the construction of the road in less than two weeks.
 After completing the survey of the spur from New Preston station to New Preston village and Lake Waramaug, Engineer Bowler departed for Elmira, where he has city work. During his absence, the men worked at the Sauga- tuck Valley survey, completing unfin- ished parts and verifying figures. Bo- vier will probably not survey the New town spur until Lawyer Wilson has looked over the field with regard to sub scriptions.
