WILTON.

4 variety of fancifully constructed and gaily painted structures adorn the hill- side along the Danbury and Norwalk road, In the town of Wilton. They were built by Thomas Bryan Cunning of New York, who, after marrying the niece of Senator Leland Stanford, ,purchasedp prop erty here and spent thousands of dollars in erecting useless and ill-planned farm buildings and in buying high priced cat tie. His subsequent failure and flight to Canada, and the divorce obtained by Mrs Cunning on the ground of cruelty and desertion, have already been detailed in the BEE. When, some months ago, Mrs Cunning was taken to an insane retreat, t. was thought that the last chapter in the story had been told; but news has just been received that Cunning was fro zen to death while crossing the Gillian Andes in South America. His death oe- cured May P, but the body was not found and buried until June 12.

 The makers will send you a primeE~on glass, tough glass, lead glass, for larnp-chimneys. Lead glass is tough.
 Chimneys are mostly made of brittle lime glass, partly because it IS cheap, and partly because 1t is brittle. Makers are apt to think the sooner things wear out or break the better for business. It may be for business; but not, we sus- pect, for tAeaa> business.
 Macbeth & Co. pay a dealer to give new chimneys for any that break in use.

Henry IT. Taylor of Bement, Illinois, is in town for the first time in 20 years. He was schoolboy with Editor Jones of the Westporter.
 Last week Thursday, burglars made an unsuccessful attempt to enter the res idence of William G. Staples, inserting jimmies under n window on the side of the house, directly under MT Staples sleeping room. He was aroused by the noise and lit lamp, frightening them away. The next night, the office of the Lees Manufacturing Co. was en- tered, presumably by the same party and the safe blewn open by dynamite. About SEQ was obtained and the burglars cover ed their tracks thoroughly. Deputy sheriff Driscoll, who found dynamite on the office floor, didn't know what it was and thought of humping it with ham, mer to sec the effect.

SOME REASONS WHY I SHALL VOTE FOI
 THE rROHIBITORY AMENDMENT:

SOME REASONS WHY I SHALL VOTE FOR
 THE rROHIBIToRY AMENDMENT:
 l. Because the liquor traffic is si,' against God and men, It leaH~- results only and ever |" toand "'t 'a"s ... evil. It causes to H-
 ye plasphemed and dishonored. It
 ruins men, soul and body, filling their
 lives with untold misery, both for this
 world and the world to come. Being
 thus, per SC, sin and crime, it can never
 be made right by any act of permission or license, and so the only way for a conscientious. upright and honest man is to vote to prohibit it.
 ,. Because prohibition is the only eff cient remedy for this evil of the liquor | traffic, which Mir Gladstone has most justly styled d greater scourge on any people than war, pestilcnce and famine combined.
 ,. Because know from years of past experience, that prohibition is the only effective method to control the traffic, or to free the State from the most wicked complicity of partnership in the crime of giving my brother drink and of mak- ing him drunken.
 1. Because, notwithstanding the per sstent cry that prohibition does not pro- hibit, but only makes the way for free rum, notice that those interested ia the traffic most earnestly oppose the 'aaend- ment and are ready to sacrifice time and money to defeat it, Now, if prohibition made it easier for them. tO sell, they are not the, class of men to throw away their time and; money to defeat it; nor would they, just for the pleasure of it, be will ing to do more than their share to help run the government by the payment of high license fees. They believe that prohibition is the most effective blow at their nefarious business, and so do l.
 ,. Because I love the prosperity, peace, comfort and happiness of our American homes, which are being invad- ed and ruined by the devastating power of this wicked traffic.
 6. Because 1 would do all 1 possibly could to save the coming generations from the great temptation to this evil and curse of drunkenness.
 :. That no one may be able iA that great day of judgment, to stand up and accuse me of putting temptation in his way, or that of his children.
 s. That 1 may not be guilty befCre God of giving my neighbor drink, of putting the bottle to him and. inakin.o him drunken, Habak, II, l5-l6> And also, that I may consistently use the prayer which Jesus taVght his disciples. Matt. VI, 9. \. J. p

 The reason that no church members, save the undertaken and sexton, were present at the funeral of Ambrose Hyde, being for want acknowledge of the death and funeral, is unreasonable, the item in the BEE notwithstanding, as it was well known in due time in the Center and Walnut Free Hill and by some in White Hills, so that many could have come had they desired.
 Town meeting was attended by about 40, most of whom came from the First district. D. w. Plumb, chairman; J. Tomlinson, clerk. It was voted to ex- tend the limits of Ferry district to in- clnde Woodside; to accept the layout of Oak street extension and of the road from Woodside to the new road; to ap- propriate sum not to exceed $50 for the proper observance of Memorial day; to transfer the towns interest in the Hous- atomic bridge to the counties of New Ha- ven and Fairfield. The only debated question was that of paying one half the attorneys bill of $3200 (reduced from $5000) for work before the committee at the last Legislature in favor of the bridge bill. Messrs Bennett, Allis, Brinsmade and Ruggles spoke, after Selectman Pal mer had explained the matter; finally, by a majority vote of two, 5; resolution presented by MT Ruggles was adopted appointing D. W. Plumb, Horace Wheel CT, Henry F. Warming, l.. B. Gray and the board of Selectmen q committee to confer with the selectmen of Derby and make such settlement as they shall think best.

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1889-08-22

| No doubt but there are some men i'm this
reform. but they are few, and if we were
asked to pick one such out we could not do
it with any certainty that we had the right
man. But there are many here who will
not reform. who could be reclaimed were
proper effort made. Very little has ever
been done in this or most other peniten-
tiarieS to reform the inmates. Until the
world ceases to regard man as eternally
disgraced through having been imprisoned
for crime very few will have the bravery
to live hOnoraby amid the sneers of their
fellow. beings. The name of having been
in the penitentiary is stigma that follows
man through the remainder of his life
and is stumbling block i'm every road to
advancement. But the world is coming to
treat the eX convict with more charity. One
by one the old methods of disgracing per-
SONS convicted of crime are being done
away with. The branding iron is no longer
used in civilized countries: the prisoner is
no longer made hdeOus by shaving one side
of his head: the felon's stripes are giving
place to more respectable clothes, and
many other badges of disgrace are disap-
pearing. The word RefOrmatOry is taking
the place of Penitentiary as a name for
prison, and by such gradual reforms the
whole system Of treating prisoners is being
changed. and the time is not far distant
when a discharged prisoner will find fewer
obstacles in the way OF his becoming an

we see an upright man we unavoidably
compare ourselves with him, greatly to our
own belittlement. We say that if we had
our lives to live over again we would keep
to the straight and narrow path. 1t is use
less to talk of what we would do: our life
lies before us; the narrow path is right
along side of the crooked one we have been
travelling and we need but take one step to
reach it. Why do we not take that step?
Simply because at some time IN rlives on
finding ourselves in the crooked way. we
determined to follow it until some station
had been reached where the two paths met
and the transition would be easy and I'M
noticed by any save ourselves. But not one
of thousand ever reach that station: they
either abandon the undertaking or keep ON
stumbling and falling by the waySidr. until
worn out they succumb to the inevitable
consequences of diSSipating their energies.
At last, when too late. comes the awaken
ing to the fact that their lives have been a
failure.
