HELPS HIMSELF TO A BICYCLE.

Sylvester Dayton, on September g., 1903, helped himself to a bicycle be- longing to A: B. Nichols, IT,, of Taun. ton, with whom he was temporarily South Norwalk and there sold the wheel for S4. He was caught in Green wich on Friday last, by Deputy Sheriff c. B. Johnson and brought to New town for trial on Saturday, and was bound over by Justice P. H. Nc Carthy to the next criminal term of the Su- perior court to be held in Bridgeport in December. In default of S2OO bond he went to jail. It seems that after he had disposed of the wheel he went South and stayed until he thought the matter had blown over. But in this he was disappointed.

THE MIDW
AT THE DANBURY FAIR.

Bigger than ever! The Danbury Fair will begin Monday, October 3, and will be held during the week to follow. A monster exhibition of this kind appeals and caters to all classes of amusement seekers, but in no way does it appeal to the pleasure loving public as through the Midway" with its intending list of devices for the en- tertainment of the crowds that come.
 The "Midway" will be bigger and livelier than ever before this year. The Fair management has made an extra ordinary effort to induce proprietors of novel amusement features to be at the Fair this year, and has been suc- ceSSSul.
 Ferris wheels, flying machines, a scenic railway. museums, vaudeville shows, moving picture exhibitions, dancing girls, minstrel shows and the thousand and one features that go to make up the noisy part of the Fair will be there in force and on the "Mid- way" will be found the liveliest part of the Fair.

sum of $4,000 and becomes the joint
founder with Benjamin Franklin. of an
institution for industrial training, &C

IL was to- be used for the benefit of the
apprentices of the city. The board of
selectmen and the ministers of three
denominations were mentioned as the
trustees 10 whom the expenditures of
this fund should fall.
The amount was invested in real es-
tate soon after the death of Franklin,
which took place in 1890, and it was
found on the termination of the trust
that the fund has increased To $27O.-

Golden Rule Cure.

There may have been in some quar-
tiers slight tremors Of apprehension as
to what the president would say about
the trusts. but any trust organizer or
promoter of combinations who should
dnd fault with his message would be
entirely capable OF denouncing the bi-
nomial tbeorem as seditious or Of de-
manding that the poems OF Felicia He
mans be expurgated on grounds of
public morality.
As Polk easily transferred the re-
sponsibility for the Mexican war to the
shoulders OF willing congress, 80
President Roosevelt by "a graceful and
easy metonymy substitutes for his
strenuous administration the American
people, who. IL seems, have charge OF
this trust matter and who Will contin-
ne 10 show the qualities they have
shown-that Is. moderation. good
sense the honest desire to avoid doing
any damage. and yet the quiet determi-
nation to proceed step by step, without
halt and without hurry, to eliminating
or at least minimizing whatever of
mischief or of evil there is TO inter
state commerce in the conduct OF great
corporations"
Prompted, il may be. by the retro
specfive view, he observes that To try
to deal with the trusts lin an intern
perate. destructive or demagogic spirit
would I'm all probability mean that
nothing whatever would be accom-
plished and with absolute certainty
that II nytbing We're accomplished Ii
would be Of a harmful nature"
The president is convinced that great
corporations are necessary and that
only big men can manage them and
that big men must have big rewards.
But. on the other hand. the big men
must do their manag ing with due re
gard TO the interests OF the public as
wbole-under present laws il they
suffice. under laws yet to be made II
they seem necessary. However. in his
Judgment the most important thing.
more important than legislation. "is
the gradual growth of a feeling OF re-
sponsibIlity and forbearance,' together
with N feeling OF respect on the part
of each man for the rights of others, a
feeling OF broad community OF inter
est" and so on.
From all OF which the men OF the
trusts are entitled To conclude that in
the opinion Of Mr.. Roosevelt pretty
much everything is for the best in this
best OF worlds. but II lurking evil is
any where To he found IL can be cured
by n universal observance Of the Gold
en- Rule. This in fine. high optimism
and ought 10 facilitate the distribution

digested securities.-New York Times.

ing tomorrow of the international COM
mission which is to inquire into the
North Sea incident. The meeting will
bring together some leading naval
and legal figures of the five foremost
maritime powers. Besides the Anglo
Russian crisis which the appointment
of the commission has averted il is ex-
pccted that the meeting will establish
a number of precedentS affecting inter
national naval conditions and the rights
and responsibilities of belligerents and
neutrals in time of war.
British Side Ready.
It is understood that the British side
is the expectation that Sir Edward Fry
will bear the burden of presenting and
proving the case. as il is assumed that
the English common law principle will
prevail. that the burden of proof is
upon Great Britain to prove in the
affirmative and not upon Russia to dis
prove in the negative. This principle
assumes that persons charged with
wrong doing are innocent until proved
guilty. hence it is probable that Sir
Edward will seek to prove series of
counts or charges similar to those
of court martial or indictment
What LAW Governs.
This procedure permits Russia to re-
main on the defensive, while Great
Britain endeavors to prove her case
However. the protocol provides that
the commission can establish its own
procedure, and owing to the mixed
nationalities of the admirals it is not
certain whether the English common
law. the French civil code, or the Rus
sian-Greek procedure will prevail.
