YOUTHFUL WITTY.

Rev Father Treanor Warns Parents
Against IA Growing Evil.
At the church of the Sacred Heart
yesterday Rev Father Treanor cautioned
parents against allowing their children
to attend dances and picnics. He said
he did not wish to be understood as op-
posed to this form of amusement when
properly conducted, and by grown peo-
pie. But 1t was wrong and sinful for
parents to allow young children to at
tend such places, often remaining out
nearly all night. In the course of his
remarks Father Treanor said the youth
of Waterbury were allowed altogether
too much liberty and that never had he
seen such cases of total depravity as had
come under his observation in this city.

JUMPED FROM A WINDOW.
An Insane Man Creates Excitement
on Spring street.

Edward Vallette, young Frenchman,
who boarded with Ed Thibeault, at 90
Spring street, while suffering from tenn
porary insanity last evening, jumped
from a second story window and ran
through the streets clad only in his
trousers and shirt. He was caught on
Brook street and was possessed of the
hallucinatlon that some one in the house
wanted to murder him. DIR Lopez was
called and dressed a severe cut in Val
lette's right wrist which was the only in
jury he received by his jump from the
window. The young man has been con-
siderably depressed in spirits since the
death of his mother in December, but
exhibited no symptoms of insanity until
yesterday.
The young man was to-day taken to
Holyoke, Mass, where his friends reside.

TO Editor of the DEMOCRAT:

To Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
When the board of health make their
next trip about town it would be well
for them to inspect the locality of lower

here that run out on to the sidewalk on
Denny street, to the displeasure and dis
gust of people who own adjoining prop
erty and who have suffered from this
nuisance long enough.

a SCnOOlnOuSe ana bafn destroyed
Yesterday.
BRIDGEPORT, April 14.-The Newfield
school, on Stratford avenue, was burned
to the ground early yesterday morning,
causing loss of about SIP 900. The
FIRE was discovered shortly after 4
o'clock, but owing to a delay in getting
in the alarm, the bell-rope in the school
having been cut, it was nearly an hour
later before the department arrived, and
it was then too late to do anything
toward saving the school. The fire is
believed to be of incendiary origin which
belief is borne out by the cutting of the
bell-rope.
The incendiary also made short work
of barn on Linden street, at 10 o'clock
last night. The building was completely
destroyed. together with it's contents, a
horse, several wagons and sets of har-
ness. Loss about 81 900.

KEEP UP THE LEAG UE WORK

In deciding to continue as an organization
for the publication of local politics the People
Municipal League has acted wisely and wen.
There is certainly no reason why it should dis
hand. The reform movement begun by it had
not for its object simply success at one cleo
ton il was intended to be a permanent force
in MUNICIPAL politics, q constant protest against
corrmtion and misrule. Failure to win VIC
tory this time is no cause for encouragement.
On the contrary, yesterdays defeat should be
AN incentive to more vigorous endeavor ana
widespread effort against the corrupt forces
that now rule the city.
After all, it is no discredit to the League TO
he beaten in this its first contest lts OPP
moment was one of the strongest political or
carnations in the world, an organization hght-
ing not only for public plumber but Tor Its
very existence. Compared to it the Anti
Tammany forces, with the exception OF the Re-
publican element, were as raw body OF I'M
discontinued recruits, enthusiastic enough, but
without the training and experience necessary
for successful assault upon the intrenched
mower of the Wigwam. The most obvious
lesson of the election is the necessity OF thor
ough organization on the part OF those who
would overthrow Tammany, and this work
should be begun at once, as the League pro-

LID SrANLEY,S RET URN.

Ar STANLEY gave ND profitable lecture tour
in America in order to attempt the rescue Oh
Emin. beleaguered and in extreme peril IN the
Eo,.toria Provinces. He has returned to
York after accomplishing his mission and
rounding out his own fame as an IDEAL man
of action in the prosalc nineteenth century
There were perhaps hundred explorers COM
petent to plan relief expedition In the dlrec-
tion of Wadelai. There was only one Stanley
who had the genius required for mastering 'he
,,;cissitudes and horrors of the march through
tho uniphabitable Equatorial forests and for
conducting the blind and infatuated pacha in
safety to the coast. The relief expedition from
the Congo Valley was incOmparabIy the most
hazardous and dangerous feat IN the annals Oh
modern exploration and adventure. Ohuer
any other leader success would have been I'M
practicable. This is Mr. Stanley's genius Tor
action-something of the NapOeonic Order-a
capacity for achieving success under cohoi'ionS
that annarentIy involve failure and disaster.
II is needless for us to add that Amencans
will unite as one man in welcoming thls nero
of action upon his return to this town. 1hey
are proud to remember that throughout MS
wonderful career of exploration he has called
bimself an American. They recognize III MS
undaunted courage, his infiexible deterniha
ton, his inventive faculties in critical emer-
gencies and his inexhaustible resources OF pa
tience and endurance the best traits OF Amen-
can character. Mr.. Stanley has been honoreu
in every capital of Europe. Monarchs ana
Prime Ministers have paid tribute to his genius
The learned universities, scientific socleues
and the leaders of European fashion and letters
have showered their favOrs upon him. Yet
complimented, lionized and feted as he has been
abroad. we do not believe that any welcome
which he has received will be cherished more
highly than the aiTectionate greetings which ne
will receive here from his fellow-Americans.
OF the controversies which have arisen re-
GENTLY over the conduct of the rear-guard 1t Is
unnecessary to say anything. Mr.. Stanley IS
lion stung by swarm of gnats. Americans
who have read his generous tributes to his COM
Danions in Africa and his structures upon the
inexplicable conduct of those with the rear
column do not require explanations or de-
fences from him. The gnats with all their
buzzing only write themselves down as gnats'
The lion remains the lion.
