The Newtown bee., 1894-10-12

All the leading nations of the world have thei= eyes focused on China and Japan, and judging by the meager dispatches which we people of the Western world receive, China is get ting the worst end of the fight. Japan, though claiming population only about one-seventh as large as that of China, is vastly her superior in qualities
 that have to do with military success.
 Japan Is homogeneous, united, patriotic,
 receptive of modern ideas, and has risen SO rapidly in the scale of civilization during the last twenty years that she is entitled to place in the circle of the most advanced of the Occidental na- tions. She has revolutionized her form of government, welcomed to her colleges western teachers, and has educated her military and naval officers in the best ot foreign schools. China, on the other hand, has remained stationary, conserva- tive, disdainful, disintegrated. She has taken on in spots thin varnish of wes- tern ideas, but it had not struck In. She had hired Europeans to train her reluc- tant soldiers. She had built or bought modern ships, but her sailor personnel is 10 inferior that it can scarcely with dlzaeulty be taught to handle them,

TRUMBULL.

POISONED BY EATING MUSHROOMS.
 A sad case of poisoning occurred in town, last Friday night. A German family by the name of Warrington sat down to their supper consisting in part of what they supposed to be mushrooms, but which subsequently, proved to be toadstools. All but one child partook freely of the vegetable poison which was not long in making it's nature known to the younger members of the family. Dr Starkweather was called at once, and did all he could to relieve the then pros trate family. But in spite of medical skill he was not early enough in his ar rival to save the little boy of two and one-half years. who died after much suf- fering early Sunday morning. At one time there was little hope of saving other members of the family, but the symptoms are at present more favorable for their recovery.
 Miss Aida Hawley is expecting to take charge of class in the evening school which is to be opened in the w. Y. w. c. A.
