 Drowned at Walnut Beach.

Helen Schlag, Waterbury Girl,
 Drowned at Walnut Beach.
 Helen Schlag, the sixteen years old daughter of Mir and Mrs Christian Schlag of "A South Elm street, was drowned at Walnut beach yesterday afternoon.
 Miss Schlag, in company with another girl of her own age, was out i'll a row boat and in changing seats the boat was eap- sized and the two girls were thrown into the water. Two boys saw the upset and immediately rowed to the rescue and suc- ceeded in saving Maud Skidmore of Bridge port, Miss Schlag's companion, but the latter had disappeared beneath the waves, and the young men were unable to do any, thing for her. It is supposed that she struck against the anchor of the boat and consequently was unable to make struggle The other girl held onto the boat until as- sistance arrived.
 The body was recovered about 1 80 o'clock and was taken into Judge Cowelrs cottage until after the arrival of the medi- cal examiner, when it was removed to the cottage owned by Thomas J. E Eyman, with whom the girl had been stopping. MT EYman is an uncle of the dead girl ar d her father is a popular employe of tie Clock shop.
 Both were notified of the accident and went down on the 3:25 train. Undertaken York was summoned and the remains were brought to Waterbury this morning The deceased is pupil in the High school and was known as one of the most studious scholars in her class. She went to Walnut beach last Saturday and intended 10 re- turn next Thursday.
 The funeral will take place at o'clock tomorrow afternoon with services by Prof Russell and interment in Riverside ceme- tery.

AL MOST DROWNED.

William Quigley and His Two Chill
 dren Have am Exciting Experience.
 Richard and Harry Quigley of North Riverside street, aged six and eight years respectively, narrowly escaped being drowned in the river at the rear of their house Sunday morning. The boys were crossing into the lots over the stepping stones and the water being several feet above it's usual height the. stones wee slippery and the little fellows lost their balance and fell into the river.
 The boys managed to cling to rock until their father arrived, who, seeing the predicament of his children. made a heroic effort to save them, but the current was too strong for him and he was swept down the river for several hundred feet until he managed to siege hold of a pro jecting limb of tree where he remained until Martin Dwyer tied rope around his own waist and swan after the children while a couple of men held the other end of it on the bank, and after desperate struggle he managed to get the children to the edge of the river and handed them up to the men on the bank. The boys father was hauled out in the same manner. but was much more exhausted than the children and it was feared that he would not recover from the shock.
 Dwyer deserves medal for the work he performed, for it is admitted that had it not been for his presence of mind father and children would have pCrished within sight of their own home.

100000 YOUNG sHAD.

Now Being Matched at the Ponds iM
 Lyme By the Fish Commission.
 Two millions of young shad are wiggliDg about in the retaining pond of the Connec- ticut fish and game commission at Lyme. They were matched at Shelton by G. B. Sterling. a brother of Superintendent Ster- ling. The government has also contri- buted many thousand more, and all told something like 3.000,000 shad will find their way into the Connecticut river next fall.
 Heretofore the fish were put into the river direct from the aquarium. It is be- lieved that by growing them in the retain ing ponds there will be very large per- centage saved from destruction by larger fish and the other enemies of the tiny squirmers. They will be about Ave inches long next October, when set adrift in the river,

A CALL FOR THE TROLLEY.

Residents of Baldwin Street Talking
 About Branch Line.
 Residents of Baldwin street and vicinity are talking of petItioning the Traction Go to run a track from Cole street to the junction of Baldwin and Washington streets. They believe it would be pay ing investment for the company and would also be great accommodation for the large number of people who live in that section and work in the factories in other parts of the town. There are also a large number of shoppers who call down town during the day, every one of whom would ride to and from the center if the trolley was within a reasonable distance of their homes. There is no reason to believe why the trolley cars would not be as well pat ronized in that section of the city as they are on Bank street, west of the Naug- atuck railroad. There are good many people. too. who think that track running from the june tion of South Main and Washing ton streets to St Joseph's cemetery would be we'll patronized, not only by people who visit the cemetery, but also by the resi- dents of that portion of the town nearly all of whom work in the shops west of the Naugatuck river

The Flowing Bowl,

Dedicated to St Joseph's T. A. Society. To Bacchus' name be endless fame,
 Who gave posterity sparkling wine. gift divine.
 In marked simplicity; To quell the pain of mortal brain
 In life's adversity, 4 drink, in fine, IS ruby wine.
 Of gods fidelity. As such the song of Roman throng
 Mid halls festivity. Nor yet did cease in sunny Greece,
 By mounts acclivity. Their pleasure bent on hearts content,
 And worldly vanity, Still, arms and wine saw their decline,
 A fatal history. Gone down to dust mid scenes Of lust,
 Of grave obscenity, Their altar stones lie moss o'ergrown,
 In earth's obscurity. The mighty God this realm has trod,
 In sweet humility, With abstinence gave blessed sense Of life's serenity Thou Gates Disclose in deaths rerose,
 The drunkard's destiny; Bring forth from hell, his captive cell, One lost humanity. Mark thou, how soul by sins control,
 Has lost it's sanctity, To torture's brink is borne by drink
 And vile depravity. For Christ ordained that humankind, To sober lives be given, And edict gave that thirsty slave,
 Should justly forfeit heaven. With me attend, my doubting friend,
 Upon our streets at night, Behold the glare of wine rooms rare,
 gorgeous bow'r of light. And entering in these dens of sin,
 See there motley throng, Wealth's pomp and show the wretch
 ed low,
 la revelry and song. To whom the pain these scenes pertain?
 Who reaps the harvest stores? 'Tis suff'ring wives and offsprings' lives,
 Whom mammon gold ignores. In grandeur looms the stately homes Of Bacchus' uncrowned kings. Their shadow falls on hovel walls, Where want incessant clings. Thou mortal! Drink though kindred's linh In shattered fragments lie. Turn deafening ear on children dear, Heed not their dying cry. Make thou the wife thou'st ta' en for life, Thy brutal passions slave, Send mothers head, her heart strings bled, In sorrow to the grave. Yes. drink thy fill, such is thy will.
 Though howls the wintry blast, Though only shed be OCT thy head,
 Though frozen dead at last. Then curse. too late. thy bitter fate,
 The cup that conquered thee, Which from it's birth wrought hell on earth, And deaths eternity. Thrice blessed may that impulse be,
 Whereby are put to shame, The hordes of night by deeds of right, z In Joseph's honored name.

 WEsTFIELD, Mass, Aug 2O.-William Fearing Gill, whose wife, Edith O. Gill, is a sister of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has left his home here taking his child with him. His attorney has begun pro- Ceedings for % divorce, alleging ''gross and confirmed habits of intoxication by chloral" on the part of Mrs Gill.
 This fact came out in the district court room, where Superintendent Akers of the Gill farm at West Granville was charged with drunkenness by Mrs. Gill. She went on the witness stand and related the facts in vivaciOus manner, shrewdly declin- ing, however, to answer some insinuating questions bearing upon her domestic trou. bles

In all ints rvi9w this week Tariff
Mckinney, on the silver ques-
ton, says that he will stand on
the Rel ublican platform for
'bimetallism.
Yes, and it has been bimetal-
lism for twenty years, and what
has been the result ? 1t was Re-
publican Iarty bimet .llism in
1873. 1t was Democratic party
bimetallism the past two years,
and it would seem to man out
West that / arty platform bimet-
allie planks are not just the prop
er cape.
If the two old parties are in
tent on the silv II question, why
not steal, borrow OF take the
Peoples Party plank of Is to l i?
And plank alone is not suffi-
Gent, if you please. t sc MN
himself must come right out
square toed and indorse the 16 to
l proposition. Platforms and
planhs are handy thi lgs, some
times, but past experience on
national tariff planks and silver
planks ought to lend the West to
demand a pledge from tie candi-
dates.
The candidate for President
who dare not pledge himself
out-and out for free silver should
not be trusted.
The Peoples Party silver
plank ought to please the entire
West, even if the rest of the plat
form does not.
So far as the Naa is concern
ed, our preference is the entire
Peoples Party platform rather
than the Timetable planks of the
two cid Iarties. On silver they
try to say one thing, and they
are construed to mean another,
and in fact they don't mean any
thing good for silver.-Boise

Talk about an honest dollar /!
The most dishonest dollar in the
world is the one that by steady
increase in its pun chasir 6 power
enables wealth hour by hour, to
rob labor. That dollar is essen
TALLY and fendishly dishonest
which compels the man who has
promised to pay the value of a
bushel of wheat to satisfy debt,
to surrender the value of two
bushels in order to acquit the
claim. A dollar that is daily &C.
quiring a greater command over
human labor and its products is
not honest-it is footpad. 1t
enables the rich to grind the
faces of the poor. 1t helps the
Spectator to acquire a title to
your home for fraction of it's
value. 1t renders it unsafe TO
contract a liability or promise a
future payment. 1t robs every
producer of wealth who has been
compelled to contract a debt. 1t
impoverishes the miner and plow-
holder to fatten the bondholder.
This "honest dollar" which we
hear so much about is the great
est cheat and liar on the face of
the earth. 1t is not only a fraud
and swindle, but an oppressor
and a robber.

silver. 1t is more than certain
that the country dailies and
weeklies of the Republican per
suasion will not do so. The
Democratic newspapers that
have heretofore leaned toward
the Cleveland goldbug idea have
already jumped the traces and
got into line with the silver
people. 1t is quite assured that
the rush for the band wagon In
this state will be the greatest
ever witnessed.

is beng abandoned 1Or the reds-
on that politicians find the people
are schooling themselves and
are seeking their own subjects
for investigation. Nowhere is
this more apparent than through
out the northern half of this
state, where lies the strength of
the Republican party. One can
not go into the home of the farm
er or the mechanic who reads
without finding some work deal
ing with financial problems, and
finances, too, is the prevailing
topic of political conversation.
Everywhere throughout this Sec
ton, and for that matter through
out the state, the idea has gain
Ell strength among the people
that they were fooled once by
the characterization of silver. The
tariff was play ed for all it was
worth, too. They insist that
they cannot be fooled again.
Governor McKinley's recent
utterances that he would not ac-
cept a presidential nomination
upon a platform favoring free
coinage of silver has been re-
ceived here with amazement.
The more recent stat ment in
his behalf, sent out from Wash
i1gtop, to the effect that he &C
cepts the financial plank of the
platform of 1892 as defining his
position is regarded as unsatis-
factory for the reason that that
plank is co lsidered vague and
uncertain. 1t is argued as against
him that every one is in favor of
an honest dollar, the question
being as to how the dollar is to
be made honest. That is ne
provided for in the plank upon
which McKinley's friends are
DESTROYS of placing him. The
impression of the pee pie of this
st.i now is that this may be at
tanned only by the restoration of
silver 10 lis former position in
the monetary. They are talking
it everywhere and upon all oc-
casions. This is true lot only
throughout the Republican chain
of counties of the state, but equal
iy true as 10 the people of the
Democratic counties. Unless all
signs fail the men who have
heretofore teen doin : the lead
ing will sool lie found in the
wake of the people whom they
have led.
One indication showing how
strongly the silver idea has talk
en- possession of the people is
found in the fact that severa,
small volumes I ublished ir
Chicago treating on the subject
have Lad an almost unlimiteo
sale. The people have cast aside
tariff literature that cost then
nothing, and are paying out theil
hard earned dollars for Coins
Financial School, and similar
works. On railway trains, a
news stands and everywhere tn,
demand for silver literature il
unprecedented, is increasing
daily. One newsboy on a trail
