OUR SILVER CONGRESSMAN.


 People are wondering why Congressman Flower of New York and Congressman Wilcox of this State voted for silver in fation the other day. The general opinion seems to be that they not only ought to have known better, but that they did know better The Norwich Bulletin says: But what explanation can Congressman Wilcox of the New Haven -Middlesex dis trict make to his constituents? He stands to-day the only Democrat in congress from this State, and the only man in congress from this State on the side of cheap money, which means increased cost of living, de- creased value of investments, and scaling down of the value of every dollar of honest money saved up in the past, and put into savings banks for safe and profitable guardianship and increase. In the next congress three out of the four congressman from this State are to be of the same party. If his attitude is a prophe- cy of theirs then the thrifty people of the State will too soon have the chance to pon- der painfully over their ill-judged choice last fall
 Congressman Wilcox did not represent his district well when he voted as he did. The people of Connecticut are, as whole, believers in sound money and deeply in terested in keeping money sound. His vote was not creditable to him or to his C+a+a

MT. stead,. Autograph Album.


 It is handsome album for every one, and splendid advertisement for .sThe Review of Reviews" that NIT. Stead pub fishes under the title of Portraits and Autographs" It consists of the portraits of the representative leading men all over the world, who congratulated Mr. Stead in his conception of ''The Review of Re views" with their autographs reproduced, and with some additions The portraits are excellenfly reproduced. Twenty thou sand copies of the Portraits were print ed, and were bought up at once.
 Mir. Stead has not always taken the au- tograph which accompanies the portrait from the letter which the subject sent con cerning ''The Review of Reviews" In the case of William Morris, for instance, he goes back to 1876, and takes specimen of the poet's handwriting from letter ad- dressed to MT. Stead concerning the Bulga- rian atrocities.
 Underneath John Morley's portrait we read, under date of August l, 1881, note sent to MT. Stead, as follows: 'I only fear that you will overdo yourself Pray don't The world will want you more ten years hence than now It is a sin. as well as folly, to kill yourself now Ever yours, cordially and affectionately-.n

The Young King of Servfa'


 King Alexander is now fourteen years of age, and is rapidly developing both physically and intellectually. He Is only allowed to receive such visitors as are agreeable to the regents, as the following instance will show. The Metropolitan Michael attempted lately to intrude on the royal presence without having announced his intention te the regents. The conse- quence was that he was not received, and since that time he has not appeared at the Konak King Alexander will come of age on August 2, 1894. He is now going through a course of military studies, and | his present tutor is Colonel Miskovic- The king is generally present at the ordinary military drills, when he is placed in com mand of company.

Toptshider, and on these drives he not i'm frequently passes his mothers carriage re turning to town. The queen drives her self. Her son, in the dress of colonel. salutes her in military fashion, and the queen in recognition waves her hand. A little while ago, when King Milan was dri- wing with his son, the two monarchs chanced to pass the queen, but on perceiv- ing his ex-majesty she turned away her head, and the salute was not returned. King Alexander is in constant correspon- dence with his father, and writes either in Servian or French. These letters are not altogether without political significance. Queen Nathalie receives large number of visitors, and her salons are the resort of politicians of all shades and parties. Oc- casionally she is present at the theater, where she occupies the court box, but this only happens when it is known that King Alexander will not attend the play.

 | In spite of all the laws made for it's pro lection the lobster is disappearing gradu- ely from the coast of Maine. In 1890 twenty millions of Holsters were taken on the coast, falling off of five millions, or 20 per cent, from the catch of 1888 and of 10 per cent. from 1889. Conclusive evi- dence of the decrease of the lobster supply is found in the steadily lessening size of the fish sent to market In 1889 and 1890 the average length of the Holsters offered for sale was about 104 inches, and the average weight two pounds. Ten years ago the average length was 12 inches, and the weight three and one-half to four pounds.

He Lost His Money.

Mollie Gentry, colored, was before
Caldwell this morning,
charged with stealing $l5 90 from
Harvey Jennette, of Cheatham
county. The plaintiff claimed that
the woman robbed him last night in
Skufitown, but could not prove it and
the defendant was released.
Such complaints as this are getting
to be too frequent of late. 'Tis true
the victims are primarily responsible
for such trouble, but that part OF

ported without more taxes, which
would have to come out of the mer-
chants. They would not stand.it, and
he was opposed to the proposition.
Dr. Northington tackeled Hurst on
the tax question and they had a
warm discussion. Hurst argued that
people would not volunteer to fight
fire when men were hired to do it,
and if the city undertook a partial
paid force they would soon be COM
PEELED to employ full force and that
the city could rot do. w, B. Young
said the cost was now $400 a year,
Mayor Smith said the taxes could not
be increased, the law regulated that.
Finally on motion it was agreed to
defer the whole question to the next
meeting for further consideration.
A petition was presented by Mayor
Smith from people protesting against
eating stands, etc., on the side streets
without license. Some one suggested
that this was intended to boycott
Aunt Venus, and the whole board
sat right down on it. Aunt Venus is
one Of the institutions of the town
and no alderman will go hungry as
long as she has fish.
The merchants protest against the
increase of privileges for fire pur-
pose, as published in the LEAF
CHRONICLE, was received and the
merchants assured that there would
be no increase.

from Mrs. Hendric6, 500, which she
had paid out in repairs by damage to
her property by sewer contractors.
Referred to sewer committee.

Mayor Smith reported that he and
Judge Tyler, on the part of the
county, had sold off part of the Pest
House land, opening a street to it and
had check for the city's part, $lO4,
and asked that the construction be
confirmed. Carried.
Various street repairs and pave.
mentS on First street north of Straw
berry were ordered.
The annexed territory question
was taken up, but nothing could be
done until "a copy of the law was re
ceived, which the city attorney had
written for.
Mayor Smith explained that the
bill provided tor dividing the new
territory into two wards for the pres
ent, and the present board will have
to elect two aldermen and the board
would have to make a special bust

DR.. NOrthington moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed to select
suitable location for the public build

thought it was not safe to tackle that
question and it Was finally consented
that the Doctor might act on the

to do, and, the board adjourned to

The annual budget Of hazing news from
the United States Naval Academy, now
occupying the attention of many fathers
and mothers throughout the land, shows
how tenaciously this ancient custom clings
to the school despite the most heroic meas
ures to end it. In the Fall of 1883, when
thirteen members of the class of $50 were
summarily dismissed for hazIng the members
of the newly-entered fourth class, 1t was
generally thought that the example would
forever deter following classes from similar
pratices, and Superintendent Ramsay, In

But In the following year hazing of an
equally virulent sort was discovered, there
were more courts-msrtial and more dis

several of them, at least-being the very
