WESTON.

Recently two geese, formerly owned by the late Mrs Nancy Nash, were bought by man living mile and half away. One of them was found, by some boys, sitting contentedly on nest in the yard of her old home. The old goose, which Is said to be 26 years of age, iS evidently of the opinion that "rhere's no place like home."
 Charles Hughes of the Stratford gran Ite works has placed in the Weston cem- etery fine monument bought by Mrs Munson Sturges; also handsome double stone at the grave of Edgar Scribner. Both parties are we'll pleased with the work.
 Miss Annie Dikeman owns a cactus, of the claw or crab variety, which has borne over 400 blossoms since Christmas.
 Half a century ago, the post rider play ed most important part in small inland towns. He made weekly or semi-weekly trips from seaport, like Bridgeport, for instance, carrying the local weekly and, often, other mail. He was usually on horseback, though he sometimes reach ed the glory of two-wheeled vehicle. His compensation for the services he per formed was derived chiefly from the dis count given him by the publisher of the village paper and the slight advance up- on the office rates which he was enabled to collect from his subscribers. The In- dependent, Bridgeport monthly, de- votes nearly page to an account of Tur- ney Foote, who was once post rider for Weston. He issued, at irregular inter vals, poetical effusions, reminding his subscribers that the time for renewals was near or past and calling upon such as were in arrears to pay up. From some of his verses, 1t Is very easy to see that human nature changes little in the lapse of years and that Turney Foote had much the same difficulty in collecting and was met with many of the same excuses now hurled at BEE men as they pursue their weary way over the hills and wales of Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties Turney Foote was well known character In his day and 1t seemed like personal loss to many when his familiar figure was not seen on the roads. But he has long since joined the vast ma- iOrity,

Mir Hughes of the Stratford Granite and Marble works was here, last week, erecting handsome marble monument in the lot recently bought by Mrs Mum son Sturges. Mir Sturges was buried at Wilton, but, since his death, Mrs Stur- ges has bought lot in this cemetery and had his remains removed to this place. Like all the work this we'll known concern docs, the Sturges monument Is a credit to them. Mir Hughes at the same time set handsome granite tablet at the grave of the late Edgar Scribner in the same cemetery. This Is in Gothic style, with highly polished face, and is one of the handsomest jobs in the cem- ctcy. The stratford people have repu- tatIon for first-class work.

Another elegant house is to be built at the south entrance to Beardsley park, this time by John N. Standsh of the Cartridge company.
 Frank H. Bryant is leader of the Phil harmonic band, which alternates at Sea side park with the Wheeler X Wilson band and it is an excellent organization.
 The expense is about $25,000 for the new turnouts, horses, ears and extra men required by the horse railroad for their five-minute schedule.
 The Housatonic's lower yard, at the freight house and round house, has long been overcrowded and relief has been ob- tained by storing passenger cars at the upper yards, above the depot. Cinders and earth are constantly dumped here, making room for additional tracks.
 When Riviera, the Spaniard, lived at what is now East End and enjoyed life hunting, fishing and sporting, he owned an extensive tract of land, fairly good as to farming purposes. He cared little for 1t and gave no thought to the possibili- ties of a city growing up around his dom icile. At his death number of years ago, the property was partly obtained by D. F. Hollister, who sold number of building lots at the time of East Ends first boom. This boom collapsed in time and the Riviera tract, with other proper ty, was in little demand. But with the advent of another and more decided boom and with the annexation of West Strat- ford to Bridgeport, the demand for build ing lots, partly for building and partly for speculation, grew apace. Mir Hollister has laid out the property attractively and opened new streets where necessary and those who are looking for cheap, de- sirable investments are buying up the lots. Besides the property owned by MT Hollster, the East End park association, of which A. w. Burritt is agent, has quantities of good lots to sell and is sell ing them, too. Mir Burrtt is selling from two tracts, the Wells and the Lew is.
 The house which Newsdealer Plumb is having built by H. II. Nettleton, on the corner of Stratford avenue and Pembroke street, is certainly unique iu all details. The architecture of the roof is decidedly peculiar, yet pleasing and the whole building, in one respect, resembles Wash ington lrving's "Sunnyside" at Irving ton-on-Hudson. It has more hooks and gables and corners than cooked hat.
 An excellent quality of building sand is found in digging the cellars of many West End houses and it is always sold at fair prices, for good building sand is not always easy to obtain.

 The 10th semi t-annual convention of Fairfield county W. c. T. U. met with Central Union in North Main street Methodist church at Bridge port, Tuesday, June 10.

Devotional exer- cises were conducted by Mrs k. A. Chapman of Meriden. An address was delivered by our
 State president, Mrs Forbes, who was with Us
 all day. Reports from Unions were resumed,
 after which a most interesting paper on jail
 work was read by Mrs DeYerauX ot Buel un-
 ion. The pastor of the church was present
 during part of the day and gave us hearty
 encouragement. The election of officers was
 conducted by Mrs Forbes. The officers chosen
 were: President, Mrs K. Palmer, Stamford {;
 secretary, Grace 1. Curtiss, Stepney; treasur-
 erer, Mrs F. A. Nettleton of Shelton. The workers conference was most interesting and helpful. This, with the parliamentary drill
 which followed it, was conducted by Mrs An drews. A Bible reading by Ms E. A. Chap faced by Loyal Legion exercises. The com pany connected with the Central Union was out in force with their banner and did them selves and their leader credit. A new and de- lfghtful feature ot the occasion was the con- vention chorus, led by Rev Mir Wilmington, which was present at both sessions and in the evening and furnished inspiring music. This | is the first time Fairfield county has been so favored, but we hope that the custom may be continued at future conventions. Reports 1 from local Unions were most encouraging, in dicating activity and growth in many depart ments of work. We are invited to hold our Autumn convention with Greenwich Union.- | tGrace l.

the young captain.
"You are right, she replied. "Oh,

of his wife that he would neither scold
nor punish the lad; for she urged, as one
excuse for him, that he was only 12
years old.

HON. wATTERsON MULCTED
A Game of Poker In Which he
Lost $1,000.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 49,
When Hon. Henry Watterson, Of
the Louisville Courier Journal, was
in Memphis a day or two ago, he
lost $500 in a social game of draw
in a fashionable club. Murray Kel-
Ter, a we'll known horse owner OF
Louisville, was also in the game.
The other players were local men
OF good social standing. The game
was started to while away the
time, each player taking out S.
worth of chips valued at 1Oc, Csc
and 81 each. Mr.. Watterson sug-
gested that the bride be removed
aud the game was made table
stakes. Heny ran in tough luck.
After losing about $500 he made a
dog, with a FIVE next to the seven &.
One of the local men drew two
cards to a deuce, tray and four, and
caught a six and seven. The edi-
tor played his hand for what he
thought it was worth, and forced
his opponent to call a bet OF $500.
The game broke up about 2 O'Clock
"a. NJ, and when the banks opened
Mr.. Watterson drew for expense
money. Keller lost about $500 in
the game. The winnings were
pretty evenly divided between the
MemphIans. The story was kept
secret until to-day, when Kellar
told 1t to coterie of friends at the
race track.

BRAZIL has before it the object
lesson of the experience of the
United States, and quite as many
lessons are learned from mistakes
as from success. The proposed
new constitution of Brazil is in one
point at least far in advance of
that of which we are so proud. 1t
provides that the ballot shall be
given to every native born or
naturalized citizen above the age of
q years who can read and write.
Il involves no derogation of the
ability and wisdom of our forefath-
efs that they were not able to see
into a future which should bring to
us hordes of emigrants coming from
the least enlightened and the most
oppressed classes of Europe.
When the Constitution was adopt
ed there was practically no such
thing as illiteraey in the thirteen
colonies which formed the nucleus
of the United States. It is diff
10 take q step backward in any
political measure but there are
many among the most liberal peo-
ple Of our own nationality who
wish that the restriction placed
upon the franchise in Brazil might
also be imposed here.
