TEDDY FRENCH
 LAID AT REST Remarkable 0utpouring at Funeral of Young Aero naut in West
 Haven.
  ALL. CLASSES AMONG THE MANY MOURNFRS Great Profusion of Beauti- full Floral Offerings Some Touching
 Scenes.

All that remains of Teddy French, the aeronaut, lies buried to-day beneath a great mound of flowers in Oak Grove cemetery, about two miles from the spot where he fell to his death last Saturday.
 The funeral was the most unique and in many ways the most impressive that has been held hereabouts for many a day The remarkable number of beau tiful floral tributes and the great out pouring of people of varied oallings of life, even from the fakir at the Rock to the Sunday school and church goer, were a surprise to his family and friends and even more 50 to those who had but a passing acquaintance with the young man. Teddy certainly was well thought of.
 The funeral services were held at the home of the young mans father, Patrolman Robert w, French, at 610A First avenue, West Haven. Every available room in the house was crowded almost to suffocation, throngs stood on the large old-fashioned front porch in the gardens, on the sidewalks and even in the streets and adjoining lot. Some perhaps came from meYe curiosity, but they were few as hardly a dry cheek was noticed The en1-F ployes of the White City had marched to the house in a body in the morning to view the remains, but many were present to offer again their overflow ing feelings of sorrow. All wore badges of mourning, including Manager Speck and others of the executive staff of the resort.
 Just as the Rev. F. H. L. Hammond of the West Haven Methodist church began the services, the last carriage drove up and there alighted little Tina Rett, the girl aeronaut, just out of the hospital with a broken ankle. It Is said her admiration for Teddy was very great. It is known that his death thoroughly prostrated her. She was lifted out of the carriage and with one arm around Miss Mary Aylwin and an- other around Mss Lena Baker, she limped painfully to the house. Tears told heH story of sorrow. She was dressed in deep mourning and black stocking covered her crippled ankle.
 The Rev Mir Hammond made the services unusually impressive He spoke ol French as -clean, upright young man taken from life when he had just el tered into the full en3oy- nent of ripening manhood. It was a sad blow to all that such courag- eous young life should be plotted out when it's efforts later in life in differ- ent fields of activity might have wrought much of good and happiness to many. At the conclusion of his re- marks Miss Marie Gladwin sang with trembling voice Nearer, My God, to Thee"
 At the grave a large multitude had gathered The services were very sirn- pie. The usual committal service, 'ashes to ashes, earth to earth, and dust to dust" were read and all that remained mortal of Theodore A.. French, or Teddy, was lowered into it's last resting place. The multitude turned on it's heel and with sorrowing faces went away. But at the grave for a while the young mans family father, stepmother and eleven brothers and sisters, the youngest but years

WANTED LONGER HOURS
Italians Strike for $1.75 for Ten
 Hours Work.

Torrington, Aug. 20.-Fifteen Ital- ians employed on the construction of a concrete machine shop here went on strike to-day when informed that instead of receiving $1.75 a day for ten hours work they would in the future be paid $1.5S a day for nine hours work. The pay per hour is about the same in either case. The men said that they wanted to earn SIT a day and did not care about the number of hours per day they worked. When they quit they de- handed their wages, but were told they would haveh to wait until the regular pay day. This the men ob- jected to, and police were called. One man was arrested and will be given hearing tomorrow. A knife was found on him.

HEALTH BOARD
 DECIDES COURSE cott-a-lap Complaint Lies Dormant While the
 Company Tries
 Remedies.
NEW RULES FOR
 SCHOOL INSPECTORS
Suggestion to Examine Ev- cry Pupil in Schools is Not a Popu-
 lar One.

The adjourned meeting, continu- ance of that of last Tuesday which the board of health in vain attempted to hold last week, was held yesterday afternoon primarily to determine the action to be taken on the various peti- tions against nuisances which had many representatives at the meeting. The principal complaint was that made by the employees of the Freder- ick D, Grave cigar factory against a bad odor that came from the factory of the Cott-a-lap company in Crown street, and which, they claimed, made it practically impossible for them to work.
 The inspector that had been sent to look into the conditions agreed with the claim made by the company in a communication, which was sent to the board in which it was represented that the company was striving to avoid the nuisance, and the board decided to leave the matter at rest until the next meeting of the board, when it will probably be tabled again, the in- tention being to allow thorough trial of the measures adopted to see if they do away with the nuisance It was stated in the letter read that new ven tilators had been ordered and that the company had done away with the practice of keeping large supplies of raw material on hand, thus insuring fresh goods and avoiding the chances of odor from this source.
 The complaint against Ferguson s barn on Kensington street was taken up and the matter was referred to the health officer with power to act as seems best to him.
 Dr. Wright presented to the board for consideration some alterations in the rules regarding the work of the medi- cal inspectors of the city schools. There are five of these inspectors and al present they are required to visit each school in their district once in two weeks and keep general view of the health of the children and their fitness to attend school.

STRIKE AT THE M LAGON FOUNDRY Iron Moulders Make Demand For Minimum Wage of $2.75 and Nine
 Hour Day. PRES. FARNSWORTH
 IGNORES UNION Offers To Treat With Men Individually When Met
 By National
 Officers.

Following the refusal of President Frederick B. Farnsworth to treat with them as a union, forty iron moulders employed by the McLagon Foundry company left the factory last night and at meeting held later in the Trades Council hall, formally decided to strike at once with the backing Of the iron moulders' union of which they are members.
 The Iron moulders have long had a grievance, according to a statement made last night, and at the last nation- al convention when they saw how much higher wages other iron moulders throughout the country were getting than they were, decided to make for nal protest, and at that time were au- thorized by the national body to go on a strike if the demands were not granted Preparations were carefully made and the Foundry company get ting wind of the movement slightly raised the wages of some of those who were poorest paid. A few days ago ar ter it was clearly seen by the iron moulders that there was no hope or getting what they wanted without a strike, the national third vice president John R. O'Leary, and the New England Deputy Henry Donnelly came here to take charge of proceedings.
 Yesterday morning MT. O'Leary and MT. Donnelly went to the McLagon foundry and saw ex-Mayor Farms worth. In behalf of the men they de- handed a minimum wage of $2.75 and a nine-hour day. Last night these men said they were treated with little courtesy by MT. Farnsworth and that he absolutely refused to have any thing to do with them. The men say that at present they go to work at ' in the morning end work sometimes until after at night when some spec ial iron is to be moulded. Some get out before 6, and once in a while some get out before 5, but they say they want a regular day, and to only work nine hours. They say that often they

 Found at Annapolis.

Annapolis, Md, Aug. 2O-An imme- diate investigation of the reports that hazing was again prevalent at the naval academy, made by Superinten- dent Badger and Commandant of Mid shipmen Benson, failed to bring to light any sign of the molesting of the fourth classmen by upper classmen. Commandant Benson while expressing the opinion that the second class as a body was opposed to the practice, said that it could not be stated positively that no isolated incidents of the sort had taken place. It developed that pie eating contests of which members of the fourth class had talked. did take place, but the midshipmen before the authorities said that this was merely form of amusement and that participation in it was not forced by upper classmen.

BART MCCALL GETS TEN YEARS
IN PRISON FOR MUIR
DER
ChEAPNESS OF HUMAN Life
Judge Makes Interesting Talk In
Passing Sentences-NegrO Gets
500 or 60 Days-Court News

1t is a matter TO be regretted that
there were not more of our citizens
in the court house this morning to
have heard the very sensible remarks
OF Judge Palmer on the present
cheapness with which human life is
held, and the appalling amount OF
murders committed throughout the
country in consequence. The Judge
shows he appreciates circumstances
sufficiently TO temper mercy with jus
tice in passing sentence on convicted
criminals. Mccall was convicted
of murder in the third
degree and could have had sentence
imposed for period of twenty years.
Judge Palmer very mercifully cut the
sentence to ten years, remarking in
so doing that it had come to his
knowledge that the average life of
even the most robust negro at hard
labor in the Florida penitentiary was
only fifteen years, and that a twenty
year sentence was equivalent to a life
time sentence, which in justice
neither the law nor the Jury intend
ed should be imposed
In passing sentence of Jesse Bell
niger, who had been convicted of
carrying concealed weapons, Judge
Palmer took occasion to give the
liquor traffic good rap. He said
much of the S1ime committed, espec-
tally among the negroes. was trace
able to liquor. And" continued the
Judge, 1--WE are going TO wipe it out,
and the day is not far OF when the
curse will be eliminated from our
state" Good for the Judge. Bell
niger, it seems, was about three
drinks ahead when he began to
flourish his pistol and thereby hangs
his case. "One hundred dollars and
cost" said the Judge, "or six months
in the county Jail"

ly for the purpose of encouraging
immigration, through a state depart
ment of immigration. Mr.. Reese was
the leader in the fight against the bill,
holding that 1t was practically an
evasion of the Federal law forbidding
individuals to bring into the country
contract laborers, and would result
in bringing in laborers rather than
settlers, and the reduction of the
present scale of wages N this state.
He concluded the chief beneficiaries
of the act would be the railroads and
other companies with large bodies of
land for sale. But the friends of the
bill saved 1t from indefinite postpon-
ment by a vote Of 29 to q, and it
went to the engrossing committee.

a genuine sensation in the nature Of
the marriage. of an infant to a man
almost 80 years of age The think

Judge Thomas J. Dekle with Delina
O'Neal, Is years of age, and at his
request was granted license to wed
