 NAUGATUcK. July 13.-The adjourned annual school meeting was held last night, the only thing in the call being the mat ter of laying a tax. Mir Weary stated that he did not think it prudent to lay tax this year. MT Baldwin and Mir Conran argued that it was wrong to be paying Thomas Weary and pr Futile six and seven per cent for some 5000 and that the money ought to be hired for less or else a tax laid. The tax matter was laid over until Wednesday of next week at s p. m. Then NIT Baldwin got up and sprung n boomerang on the fifteen present. stating that he had positive information that the board of school visitors had declined to re- commend Principal Kane for superintend- ent of schools for the coming year. and wanted a vote of the district compelling the school committee c to employ him. Mir Conran indulged in flight of oratory as regards Mir Kane. MT Kennedy contri- buted the letter to Dr Futile. Mir Weary held out the olive branch for peace. Mir Ward thought We were getting into n bad muss. Mir Clymn offered q motion to cite the visitors before the meeting to give their reasons and on motion of Mir Morse the meeting appointed MessTs Kennedy. Peck and Futile to ascertain reasons and report at next meeting.

Ice Cream on sunday. Eggs Monday.

 Commissary- General William Jamieson of Governor Morris staff has prepared an inviting bill of fare for the National Guard durinp the encampment at Mantle for eight days next month. The reading of it will havea tendency to make the mouths water of the two Bridgeport organizations. which have decided to draw uncooked ra- tions and make e mess of it themselves. Regular army rations do not include the necessary ingredients to make Philadel- phia or French ice cream. the state does not own a dairy and milking the Niantic farmers cows is prohibited. Besides the commissary-general cannot be expected to issue ice cream freezers. The state has no stock Of hens on hand. robbing hens nests is felony and quite dangerous. and it would not be convenient for each man to carry a weeks supply of eggs from Bridge port to camp in his knapsaek. Egg pow ders are not included in the list of un- cooked nations which the commissary-gen eral will supply. An interesting question men be compelled to eat the rations they draw after they have manipulated them to their complete satisfaction? It is under stood that the other surgeons and assistant surgeons of the brigade have been in- structed to render whatever medical assis- tance is required by the medical officers of the Fourth regiment. Commissary-Gen- | eral Jamiesons bill of fare. which seems | to provide a sufficient variety. includes ice cream for dinner on Sunday, boiled eggs for breakfast on Monday and apple pie with dinner on Wednesday and the Satur' | day following. beefsteak. chicken, etc.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

A Prominent Manufacturer Gives Ills
 Views the strike to- the "Deno-
 crat."
 In the course of a conversation with l.. J. Atwood to-day the reporter asked MT Atwood what he thought of he strike ''It is miserable arrangement" he said ''That man Debs has no brains and is en- tirely out of place at the head of m or- ganization of that kind. If Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Engineers was at the head of affairs no such trouble would ever have occurred"
 What 60 you think of President Cleve- lands action in the premises ?? asked the reporter. ''I think he is a brick, said MT Atwood. His conduct in the matter can. not fail to merit the approval of every law abiding man in the country. But "ha. else could he have done unless he wanted to show himself unworthy of the trust re- posed in him by the American people.
 "Do you believe that the laboring classes have A right to organize for mu- tual benefit and that they are liaely to de- rive any benefit as the result of such or ganization." was asked.
 "I do most certainly believe" he said, ..but I do not believe that any labor organ l ization has a right to dictate to manufac- >.urer as to how he shall conduct his busi- ness. I think it is the intention of all cOnc~rnS 10 hcI Ou 1ue sluAfc nihu hneAi employees"
 If that were true, Mir Atwood" said the reporter. there would be no need of such organizations"
 Well" he said, "of course there are exceptions to all rules"
 Mir Atwood was not prepared to say that he believed in A board of arbitration. He believed that Mir Powderly is a wiser and more levsl headed man than his successor.
 '.Supposing." he said "the Knights of Labor should all go on strike at this man Sovereign's command, what. would be the condition of things all over the country? Suppose one hundred of my men come to me tonight and say: We are not coming | in tomorrow because MT Sovereign has or dered all Knights of Labor to quit work | until the strike is settled I advise them not to go out but remain right at their work, but no. out they go. have contracts on hand that must be finished up within a certain time. Who can blame me if go out and hire other men to come in and do my work
 ''It is a desperate game said the report CT and perhaps the men might be justified in using some means to induce other workmen not to take their places" | ''So sir" he said mo man has a right | to prevent another from disposiDg of his labor at price that suits himself. Let him demand as much as he pleases for his own. and get it If he can. but he has nc moral right to tell another man how much | he must get" Mir Atwood said his help as far as he knew, are satisfied and he never had trouble with them and never expects any.

SORRY HE CAME,
The Duke TAuTS and His Many Troubles
 In . Strange Land.
Lspeclal Correspondence.l

lSpSClaA ASoEEespouueHCS-I
 PHILADELPHIA, July IO.-Of all noble men that have come to the United States the Duke d'Auxy of Belgium is probably the one that most rcgrets his coming. Ever since his arrest here his wife an American widow, cousin to the late Su- preme Court Justice Lamar, has been en- gagged in litigation with relatives of her former husband, and during most of that time the duke has been dancing attend ancc upon his wife in the vain hope that the litigation would end. The ducal pair have lived most of tho time at ono hotel or another in and about New York, have made no figure in society and have been as simple and unOstentatious in manner of life and in their attitude toward acquaint- ances as any one could expect pair titled or untitled to be. Meanwhile one trifling annoyance or another has of late years brought the duke himself into court and he has finally been made to testify that he has a personal bank account of but 15 cents and is dependent upon his wife.
 This would be hard enough for n make believe duke or n duke of newly purchased fustian title. But the Duke d'Auxy Is tho real thing. His family Is very ancient and honorable. The title is not new. and the ancestral estates are large. The poor man, amid all his humiliations, has had the additional embarrassment of living a stranger in crowded hotels, for he has not learned English, and he seldom exchanges word with persons who do not speak French. When he lived at the now van ished New York hotel, ho sometimes sought the companionship of the French speaking agent of a champagne house and occasionally played whist with English speaking persons whom the duchess knew. Now that he and his wife are keeping house their names never figure in the re- ports of fashionable doings, and few per sons that meet this high shoulfered. French looking little man in glasses suspect that he is tte possessor of dukedom.

May Protest to the Governor.

The state board of charities feels that the execution device adopted by the state prison directors is illegal and though the directors attorneys have declared it legal the board of charities may protest to the governor of the state. Secretary H. O. Whittlesey of Middlatown says: 'The new device removes the objection that the warden does pot execute. by making the warden start the machinery. but the sus- pense in which the condemned man is kept until the weight drops remainsas be- fore. Here is a torture that exists and the board of charities may yet file A pro- test with the governor against it."
