COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Under the caption of a Scandal Mon gers Tongue" your correspondent read very pertinent article in last evenings American, regarding a malicious scan dal recently published, affecting the standing of respectable citizen of Tor rington and showing the utter falsity of the whole story, though at first it looked plausible ''as many similar ones that are coming to light every day. It IS about time a halt was called to these black guard methods of attacking innocent peoples characters by irresponsible scan- dal-scavengers,w who from personal spite, or worse, from mercenary purposes, are ready to assassinate the fair name of man or woman on 1.-the slightest pretext. But worst of all is the newspaper man who weekly disgraoes the great profess sion of journalism by-soley upon ex- parte evidence and to please the enemies of someone, or perhaps in the interests of business or professional clique publishing that most cowardly of all would be criminal libel, without calling names or giving the party accused a chance to defend himself. Who knows but every word is false, as generally is the case? Fair-minded people don't ap- prove of such methods and say it is a shame. There should be law to suppress the irresponsible publication of such at- tacks on the standing of a citizen in this most scurrilous way. FAIR PLAY.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

But two earned runs have been made off Clarkson in the last four games, and in three of them not a man saw the home plate.
 The New England league should be revived next season with the New Ha- ven, Hartford, Worcester, Providence, Lynn, Lowell, Manchester, and one other good city, for the eight teams Boston Globe.
 In the middle of the season Anson fell off in his hitting, but has been coming up lately, has passed Duffy, and only two of his colts, Van Haltren and Ryan, are ahead of him. He has skipped hits but twice in the last twenty-four games.
 Beckley leads the league in sacrifice hitting, with 3s hits; Thompson is sec ond, with B Richardson third, with 31. Hallman has 30, Ward 30, Ewing 29. Dunlap, Connor and McGeachy have 28 each. It will be seen that with two ex- captions it is the sluggers who are doing the sacrifice hitting.

 Charles Kench. the 19 year old son of Thomas Kench of 100 Cherry street, and Mrs Nellie L. Norton, of Stratford, were to be married in this city Monday next, but Nellie has disappeared. Yesterday the boys father called upon Deputy Sheriff Sweeney of Naugatuck, to whom he told the following story:
 Two years ago his son Charles was employed by the Consolidated road, placing levers in the block towers. One day while working at Stratford Mrs Norton, who was then Miss Depew, flirted with him and called him into the house. He met the girl on several occasions after this, but finally came to this city and obtained work with Floyd B, Smith. Three weeks ago the girl came to this city and called upon young Kench. She told him she loved him dearly and also confessed that she had married a man named Norton, but had secured divorce from him. The young man promised to marry the girl and the event was announced to take place next Monday. A tenement was engaged on Cherry street and elaborate prepar- ations were made to receive the couple. All went we'll until Kench and the woman called upon Town Clerk White to obtaln license. Then it was found that the girl was not of age and would have to obtain the consent of her par ents. The girl and her intended husband started for Stratford yesterday to obtain permission of her adopted parents and to draw her money out of the bank. When the train reached Union City she wanted to stop over and see friend of hers and agreed to meet MT Kench at Naugatuck. She failed to keep her agreement and the young man has come to the conclusion that he has been de- serted MT Kench, ST., has instituted a search for the girl and may prosecute her for obtaining goods under false pre- l lenses,

THE GREAT STRIKE.
Great Suffering Among the Families
 the Lonts0n Dock NyeY

NAo"o cuAAeAAuS Among the Families Of
 the London Dock Men.
 LONDON, Sept. 1.-The dcstitution in the East End of London, among the families of the striking lockers is Some. thing appalling. Many of the women and children have been for whole days without food and all tho relief afforded by the charitably disposed scar cely makes an impression upon the distress. so great is the extent. During the first days of the great strike tho wives of the men managed to get an occasional meal for themselves and their children, by taking their few household goods. piece by piece, and their clothing to the pawnbrokers' shops. But there are few now who have anything left to pawn the shop men have long ago been forced to refuse all credit, and as a result these poor unfortunates arc dependent solely upon charity for sustenance. Notwith- standing their deplorable condition the dockerS' wives are quite as determined as their husbands in fighting their fight against their employers to the bitter end, and it is even said by those living among these people that the Strike would have been over week ago and the men would have gone to work at the masters terms but for the per- sistent obstinacy of tho women who pre- ferred to suffer tue bangs of hunger rather than permit their husbands to submit to defeat.
 The second compromise submitted to the strikers has met the fate of the first and has been rejected. This was proposal made by Cardinal Manning on his own initiative and one which had | not received the approval of the other | mediators nor of the dock directors. It | provided for the immediate resumption l of work by the strikers and the conces- | sion of the increased pay demanded. to date from November 1. Mr. Burns told Cardinal Manning to-day that the tenn per of the men was such that 1t would be futile to urge the November compro- mise,
 Subscriptions for the benefit of the strikers continue to flow in and the re- suit is that many of the dock laborers | are faring better in idleness than they ever did while working, and though this is only true of the more shiftless of the men, the fact has a potent influence in postponing the day of settlement

Popularity of the Dance.

There is a great deal of argument in re-
gard to the morality of dancing, but if any
one has an idea that tho rotatory exercise is
growing unpopular in New York he should
contemplate the patronage Of the leading
dancing teacher of the town, who has his big
square house ON Fifth avenue thronged with
pupils from morning till night, and then up
to Il o'clock. At o'clock on every after
noon, when the young peoples classes are
breaking up, the avenue in the locality is
throngcd with a larger array of carriages
than the greatest social event in New York
could call forth, and the hurrying, skurrying
children, with their maids and their mothers.
form one of the most bewildering sights of
the metropolis
A clever thing on the part of the swell
dancing master is his manner of retaining
people for his pupils season after season. He
does this by inventing a new dance each win
ter, and altering the waltz to such an extent
as to make it necessary to go to him for the
latest movement. In this way he keeps ladies
on his floor who We're considered the poetry
of motion more than ten years ago. Consid-
erng the immense crowds of patrons that
this man receives, his income during the win
ter must be quite colossal. Now that the
ninuet is to be made fashionable again, he
will doubtless have to hire some more man
sions to accommodate his overflow of GUS
tomers-NCw York sun.

Eating Salt.

was at dinner few days since writes Dr.
William F. Hutchinson in The American
Magazine, where two ladies astOnished me by
the quantity OF salt they ate. Each half
emptied her individual cellar into the soup:
finished it WITH fish, called for more with
entrees ard were out again before the meal
was done. Roughly, l believe that an ounce
apiece of pure salt would have been about
what they each ate. Both were thin, nervous
women, with sallow, muddy skins and weak,
flabby muscles Inquhing Later of one o.
them if that was her common consumption OF
salt, she replied that she ate as much or more
at every meal, and had done so ever since
she could remember; also, that she be-
lieved larger consumption than hers was
not uncommon. Salt in moderation is abso-
lutfly necessary to health, indeed oprolonged
ute. Its chief component, hydrochlOric acid,
is part of gastric juice, and needful in small
quantities. But when these are increased free
acid appears on the scene, and, acting as
powerful irritant, develops acid or nervous
dyspepsia to an uncomfortable degree. Con-
tinued, stomach membranes lose secreting
power, become thickened and insensitive.
and long train of symptoms like those of
organic heart disease begin to appear, and
prove exceedingly obstinate to cure. A half
teaSpoonful of salt daily, exclusive of what Is
used in food, is all that should be eaten by

Mourning and Marriage,

"Winifred johnson" asks: SIS it proper to
marry within the year of mourning2 If 50,
what does the bride wear? Should she give a
reception' If so, do the guests come in
black' Does her mother wear black?'
1t is the custom to wait a year, but if there
are reasons why wedding should take place
before, the bride wears white dress to be
married in, and can resume her mourning
after. At the wedding receptions in Eng
land the brides mother would wear red and
resume her mourning the next day. No one
should, however, go to a wedding in heavy
crepe veil; the thing is homogeneous. Mourn
ing can be laid aside for the day and recep-
ton be given if the bride choose, but we'd
ding given by family whose loss is recent
does not generally include reception.-Mrs
