Workmen from Ceylon Rebel Again
Working in Chicago for 81 Per Mont

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March l7.--The Cngalege
workmen at the Worlds Fair have gone
on strike against their employers, who
have charge Of the Ceylon exhibit. The
men were hired in Ceylon for 80 rupees
per month, which Is about 81 in American
money. They thought 30rupees was big
thing until they gained an idea of what
workmen receive in this country.
They have been here only two weeks
but they followed the regulation pro.
gramme and struck. Then they appointed
committee to see what the boss was
going to do about it. They were offered 40
rupees and are thinking it over.

morning, Of pneumonia, at the st..

Ever since the day Mitchell and Hall
left the city the squire has been con-
fined to his bed at the St. Charles Hotel.
Daily his condition grew worse.
At first ii was believed that he was
suffering from heavy cold, which he
contracted when he seconded Jim Hall
in his fight with Fitzsimmons. 1t de-
veloped shortly into pneumonia. High
fever followed, and his temperature
went as high as 1862.
Two female nurses remained con-
stantly by his side, besides his faithful
valet, William Monk, and his private
secretary, "Ed'' Bailey. For two days
now he was delirious, and he took
scarcely any food. Whenever his valet
entered the room the squire in his deliri
Gus state would jump up and call for his
clothes, and if it were not for the valet
holding him IN bed he would have in
jured himself. Monk has been with him
for years, and is deeply affected over his
masters death.
Mr.. Bailey, his secretary, is almost
heartbroken, and he and faithful Monk
have attended to every wish and want
of the squire.

We notice among the bills introduced in the Legislature, an amendment to the dog-kiling act; this is right. We need more dog killing and less sheep-killing. There can be no question as to the rela- tive value of the two animals. The dog nuisance is well-nigh intolerable, and should be restricted by the most string ent legislation. As pr Bowen remarked in his address before the Connecticut state grange, "99 per cent of them will kill sheep" And we believe that princi- pally to this cause may be attributed the decline of the sheep industry in this state In addition to his sheep-killing propensi- ties, the savage dog is source of terror to nervous women and children and many valuable horses are frightened and seri- ous damage caused in consequence of the more rabid dogs. Undoubtedly man has a right to keep dog, or 40 of them if he chooses, but his neighbor has a right that his family, himself and prop erty be guaranteed protection from them and if the dog owner does not furnish it, the state should compel him to.

STREET RAILWAY GOSSIP.

The committee that met at the Town hall, Saturday, in regard to the street railway through the town, expect to have another meeting, Saturday next. Changing the route through the village and taking the back street, does not please the property holders on Mechan- ic street. Some would prefer to have a road across the salt meadows, commenc- ing at the Gould residence, making a direct cut across creek, swamps, through Cherry lodge to the Lockwood crossing. Then the beautiful Main street would be left free for horse racing. People here think the Bridgeporters would like that arrangement, especially Sunday, when the trotters are out. 1t is little dan gerous to cross the road sometimes.

In the death of the statesman and pub lie man, James c. Blaine, who died last week, the United States loses one of it's foremost thinkers and leaders in public life. Mir Blaire has been man greatly beloved, greatly honored and also great ly abused. But now when death has taken him, public men of all parties unite to praise him for his far-sighted- ness, his sound judgement, his eloquence and his genial and winning social nature. During the last few years he has been the foremost leader of the republican party and has had large part in shap- ing the course of the government, es- pecially in our relation with other coun- tries on the westernContinent State bod ies have passed eulogistic resolutions and public men of all ranks have mourn ned the sad, through not unexpected death.
