Ecuador says ''Chinese Must Co."
New York Sun.
The news that the Government Of
Ecuador has prohibited Chinese immi-
grafton TO that republic Is followed by
the news that the Chinese immigrants
are now striving to make their way into
British Columbia. They are practically
excluded from that province by the Chi
nese restriction act that was adopted by
the Dominion Parliament four years ago
but there is now a prospect Of such a
modification Of this act, at the instigation
Of the British Home Government as will
clear the course for them to the British
possessions on the Pacific. Large bodies
of Cinnamon have recently been immi-
grating to Mexico. and to several Of the
countries of Central and South America,
and also to Cuba and other islands of the
West Indies; but, wherever they 60 in
any part Of the Americas, from Chill to
British Columbia, they find that they are
unwelcome, and that there is a popular
demand for their exclusion. Under the
circumstances, It is surprising that they
do not turn their mind toward Eastern
Africa, where the whole Of the surplus
population Of China can find plenty o.
room.

of Emigration making inquiry of the
saleetmen Of 100 towns. These deserted
farms are within easy reach of the busy

and are sample Of the way the home
market enriches the husbandman.

How to Ride Free in Crowded Car.

Philadelphia Ledger
The outcome Of the Graham trial seems
to be that railroad companies ought to
furnish seats to passengers, so that the
latter may not have an excuse for re-
fusal to pay fare, but that the passenger
who declines TO pay fare unless he is
given a seat must have a ticket to use as
evidence that he did not intend to "beat"
the road, as otherwise his arrest under
the Act Of Assembly may be justified.

Willie, youngest son of Valentine Rider of Southport, was drowned on Tuesday, 18th. It is supposed that he fell from the dock where he was playing with another little boy, who, being scared, ran home. The poor little fellow was only five years old and loved by all who knew him. His funeral was held on Thursday, 2Oth. We deeply sympathize with the parents in their hour of affiic- tion.
 One of the finest entertainments given in Fairfield was held in the Town Hall, Thursday evening, 20th. It was the gold medal contest. There were nine yonng girls and boys who contested for the Demarest gold medal. The speaking was fine indeed And made it difficult to decide who did best, when all were so good. Miss Mamie Burr received the medal for the very fine recitation of "Patriotic Prohibition" while honorable mention was made of Master James Leverty's ad- dress on "The Good Time Coming" Everything passed off in good style and the largesaudience were completely sat- isfied. The music was by the Philhar- monic band of Bridgeport and was high ly enjoyed by all. Mrs Woodbury of New York gave great pleasure by her fine recitation of "Over at Mulligan." /" The judges were applauded for their de- cision and all adjourned to the festival held in the church parlors, where ice cream and berries were served till late hour.
 The public schools will close, this week Friday, for the Summer vacation.
