AMERICANS MORE RATIONAL,

We Are Falsely Charged by Euro
peans With Being Undignihed.
Our crowds may and do have rip
roaring times when the occasion de-
mands it, but surely they do not be-
come asinine as do European crowds.
Our crowds may stand around news
paper offices looking at bulletins, but
even on election night they don't rush
away in mad. screaming hordes, every
few moments yelling Historically "a
bas" something or somebody, as they
do in Paris.
In London wherever crowds gather
for any purpose. from an unwilling to
an excursion. street hawkers are on
hand with two things that they call re-
spectively ''teasers" and ''ticklers."
The ''teaser' is an empty bladder tied
to stick. and the ticker is a long
feather. The ''teaser" is affected most
by the male representatives of English
dignity, and the ''tickler" captures the
fond feminine heart The male goes
into raptures of joy when he succeeds
in hitting somebody's respectable ell
derby gentleman preferred-with his
toy. The female trips gayly through
the streets. tickling the ears Of mascu-
line persons to whom she has not been
introduced.
And among our ''lower ORDERS" who
are as undignified as are the coster-
mongers of London? We have no class
that delights in wearing grotesquely
bell shaped trousers with huge pearl
buttons down the sides and coats with
immensely broad braid bindings and
also profusely covered with pearl but
tons as big as trade dollars.-New York

Edward P. Eldredges' house In the
north part of the town was struck by light
ming during the severe thunder shower of
last Friday morning. The bolt entered
at the southeast corner Of the house, just
above the sill, making good-sized aper-
ture, into bedroom where Mrs. Eldredge
was lying. A few minutes before she had
been lying on the side of the bed where
the lightning entered, but had moved to
the opposite side, which act doubtless
saved her life. AS it was she was render.
ed unconscious by the shock and when she
regained consciousness she found the bed
literally strewn with plastering and debris.
The wash-stand was shivered into kind.
ling wood. The panels were knocked out
of the bed room door; and In the pantry
a wash boiler, containing some crockery
and glassware, was badly jammed and
the contents was broken. In another
room several pans of milk were tipped
over. The bolt followed around therooms
just under the ceiling, leaving blacken.
ed mark in its progress. The front
chamber was the last place visited. Here
the plasteriDg was denied in several places
as though pounded with a hammer. The
bolt passed through the front window
cleaning out all the glass, then entered
the ground at the roots of maple tree
blowing its way thither. In the cellar
barrels and boxes were demolished and
apples were thrown about. Mr.. Eldredge
was at neighbours during the shower or
an errand and was shocked at the appear
ance of his home, upon his arrival. The
first noticeable thing was his axe which
was taken up and stuck into the GROUND
with the blade up. A rooster In near.
by shed was killed.

On the republican side of the house,
John Fl. Light Of Norwalk who has been
reelected, Is understood to be slated for
the speakership. The report Is that
William A. King of Windham, who had
this place In mind, will prefer to take the
house craftsmanship, Of the judiciary COM
mittee, which carries with 1t the house
leadership on the republican side. In the
early part of the campaign Mr.. Light was
affiliated with the Fessenden interests,
but it is understood that he took no active
part in opposing Mr.. Mclean after the
Fyler- Fessenden lively contest in the May
convention, and that the Fyler element Is
now inclined to put any obstacle in the
way of his aspirations to the speakership.
The South Norwalk Sentinel, in fact, edi-
torially announces, but on what authority
we do not know, that "Mr. Light will
have no opposition for the position Of
speaker" - Hartford Times.
