The Wild Tourist in venico,


 Nine people out of ten on their first visit to Venice never take time to feel the calm that is inseparable from misrepresentation of the genius loci. They betake themselves to gondolas instead of cabs, 1t Is true, and are to be seen dsrting about, guide. book in hand, like fretful midges, from morn till night They are ever and anon shot out of their gondolas at the command of Bas- deker or Bradshaw or that more awfully palpable demon, the local guide, and driven up the steps of church after church, palace after palace. when in few brief moments they imagine they have seen A whole galaxy of chef d'auvres by Titan, Tntoretto or Bellini, or think they have impressed on their memories acres of marvellous mosaies and countless treasures In sculpture, iron work, silverwork, woodwork, friezes and frescoes.
 In lucid intervals snatohed from this in- exorable treadmin, they devour nasty meals, feed the pigeons of St. Marks square, pant up to the top of the Campa- nile and down again, buy Venetian glass from Salviati which can be bought at his branch establishment in Regent street or from the Venice-Murano company (who al- so dwell in St. James street,, discharge the almost universal Kodak at everything, ani- mate and inanimate, within range, hear three separate parties of serensders all bawling different tunes at the same time on the Grand Canal in the evening; and

 Goes Through Henry Saunders'

 main Where it Is for the Present.
 Warren Dayton lives by himself in 8 small house on the turnpike, just south of the Community buildings. One day re- gently MT. Dayton was practicing at tar get with rife in front of his house and one of the bullets failed to stop in the target but kept on going until it struck the house of Henry Saunders, who lives on the next street east, where 1t pierced the side of the house and went through the bedroom of his daughter, but luckily it missed striking the young lady, who was in the room at the time. The missile finally stopped in the wall Mir. Saunders interviewed the msrksman, who dis claimed any intention of murder, and ex- pressed surprise that his bullets flew so wide of the mark, and in the future he would be more careful. Saunders was disposed to resort to the law for redress, but it is probable the case will never be brought to court.

HARTFORD,S STATION. Made More Puzzlfng Than Ever by
 the Railroad War.


 the Railroad War.
 HARTFORD, July 1.-The grand railway station here once more is the scene of bat tie between corporations and once more is converted into puzzle at the very time that most local frequenters had mastered its original intricsoies.
 It seems that when the New Haven road built station at great expense and &C., cording to plans considered excellent at the time, 1t thought the New England would always be joint tenant. But as re- lations between the heads of the roads be- came more strained, the New England with drew it's offices and finally built 8 tenn porary station on Spruce street, approach ing through the elevated structure of the New Haven road, since all trseks are ele vated at this point. It's passengers con- tinued to make use of the New Haven wait ing room at the rate of about l, 200 day, since June l. Now the New Haven road has locked all the doors opening into the New England's territory. thus compell- ing passengers to go round. But the New England has plenty of entrances and exits, after the public learn them. Present re- suits are that people, in the confusion, are England trains.
 The New England people say they like to have the doors locked, since otherwise their passengers get aboard without buy ing tickets. They intend to build new platforms and provide other conveniencss. It is intimated that the New Haven road contemplates building picket fence be- tween the two territories, but this can hardly be possible since that would neces- sitate walk of aqusrter of 8 mile for pas sengers who wished to get from one road to the other.

ILL WITH GASTRITIs.

Kx-County Commissioner Paige,
 Whose Illness Has Puzzled the
 Doctors.
 BRIDGEPORT, July 11.-Ex-O County Com ty Commissioner Paige is at the cottage of his son, Allan, at Aerwin's Point, Wood mont. Despite of his severe illness of more than two years the widely esteemed ex-of6ciaI retains a-remarkable dseree of vitality and Is occasionally able to receive intimate friends. Although his voice is reduced to 6 whisper he is able at times to converse quite freely, seeming to take genuine pleasure from the calls.
 His case has been most puzzling to phy- sicians, but 1t Is now thought that his ail- meat Is chronic gastritis. The excitement and exertion attendant upon his removal from Huntington to tho shore seemed to have depressing effect, but 1t is believed that 1t will be only temporary and that the change of air and scenery will be beneficial.
