FlTZROY'S CANARY
 A TEN FOOT SNAKE
Stagg's Presence Makes Excitement on
 Brooks Street.

Say, if Pa comes in here tell him he'd better stay away from home to- day, for there's something coming to him." said boy, as he stuck his head into Jim McGuinness' cafe, this morn ing. The boy was the son of "Bob" Fitzroy, the genial agent of the Hart mann Brewing Company and thereby hangs a tale. Yesterday Bob receiv- ed postal card from Sherin Charles E. Stagg of Stratford, informing him that a fine canary would be sent to him to-day as a mark of the respect and confidence of the people of Strat- ford. Bob left home early to attend to his duties At 8 o'clock the driver of the Stratford express deposited a wire covered box on the rear porch of Bob's residence, 255 Brooks street.
 The box contained the canary ,' which proved to be black snake at least ten feet long. The female DOT don of the Fftzroy, household was. ter rif1ed and made frantic efforts to in d1lce the expressman to take away the box. The expressage. had been paid and the expressman had no right to take it away.
 The boys of the neighborhood were delighted and they amused themselves by poking sticks into the cage and teasing the snake till he bit at the sticks savagely. This created more terror in the household. Supplies were received through the front door. The express company refuses positive ly to take the box away.

NEW HAVEN ROAD NOT TO ELECTRIFY
 AT PRESENT
Officially Stated That fl Will be Some Time Before New Power is Extended Through Bridgeport.

New Haven, May 1.-The New Ha- ven road has issued the following of ficiaT statement, about electrifying the New York division from Stamford to this city:
 'In connection with the rumor rela- tive to the extension of the New Ha- ven roads identification it was stated officially today that preliminary esti- mates had been prepared and sub mftted for the information of, the board of directors; that the entire matter was now being considered by the board, and that it was unlikely that any definite action would be talk en or authority granted for some time.
 "The extension of the identification to New Haven is a work of very con- siderable magnitude, and even after the extension is authorized by the df rectors the preparation of detail plans and specifications will consume con- siderable time before the actual work of construction is commenced.''

FAIRFIELD TOWN
 MEETING WOULD
 NOT APPROPRIATE
Information That Judge Perry Wanted and Couldn't Get Caused Defeat of Judge Banks Motion.

:. The special town meeting in Fairfield last night, was attended by some 75 citizens. Attorney Clitus King presid- ed. The first proposition considered was the request for an appropriation of $1 800 for repairing and oiling mac
 adamized roads in town. Judge Per " asked how the original appropria- ton of $500 for keeping the roads in repair, had been spent, and whether all the money had been exhausted. As no one appeared able to give a bill of particulars, and as it seemed strange that so early in the spring another ap- propriation should be asked for, the motion to appropriate the additional sum of $1,500 made by Judge Banks, was voted down, and the proposition was laid on the table.
 Concerning the matter of improving the dangerous turns on the highway between the center of the town and the Westport line, it was understood that after estimates had been made of the cost for buying the extra land needed, a report would be made at matter was put over-
 As to the Mill river bridge, the se- lectmen were advised to let the mat ter take it's usual course, and make the repairs out of the original appropria- ton as voted at the previous annual The meeting refused to make a special appropriation

 TO PROTECT :.
 CITY SCHOOL
Board of Education Takes up Discussion of Bill Requiring State Certificates For Teachers.
Bids Asked On Proposed New School Iionse -Snpt. Deane Reelected In. crease in School Attendance

In the opinion of Secretary Edward F. Hallen and Superintendent of Schools Charles w. Deane at the meeting of the Board of Education last evening, the Bridgeport Normal school gives more thorough training to school teachers than the State Nor mal schools. They believe that grad Uates should be exempt from having to take a state examination to get a is a bill pending in the State Legisla- ture requiring all teachers graduating after 1910 to show State certificate, except those who are. graduates of Yale and Trinity Colleges and the State Normal schools The bill has passed the Senate and is now before the House.
 After a thorough discussion of the matter the board appointed Attorney John J. Cullinan to act with the com
 nittee on schools to go to Hartford to have the bill amended so that Bridgeport will be represented. At torney HaHen explained to the board that it would be a hardship on Bridge port graduates who. after four years of faithful work in the High school and then two years in training should have to take further examination, when the training that they have re- ceived is in advance of the training received in the State Normal schools. He explained that only few years ago the standard of efficiency of the local school was way ahead of the State school, as in the State school graduates from the eighth grade in the grammar schools were accepted and after a three years course made teachers, while here six years course was necessary after the grammar school course.
 MT. Thomas H. Macdonald thought the bill was a step in the right direcJ ton as it would bring the supervision

of schools under one head but believed that that supervision should be placed in the hands of educators, and not for political reasons. He thought that tion throughout the State. so that children moving from one town to the other would not be handicapped in their work as they are at the present time, the system in each city being so different. Supt. Deane explained that. he had talked out the matter at re- cent meeting of educators and all agreed that the local school should be 1 recog gnized.
 Supt- Deane was again elected to the position of superintendent for another term of three years at an annual sal ary of s, 300, by the unanimous vote of the members present, John F. Brady being absent. MT. Deane has been superintendent of the local schools since August, 1893. Dr. Deane thank ed the board for it's renewed conff- dence in him and stated that he would have no other thought than the best interest of the local schools.
 A communication was received from Major Thomas Boudren. who offers a. prize of $20 to the High school pupil composing the best essay upon ssThe Unjustifiableness of Compulsory Vac-s cination,' said essay to contain from 1,5O0 to 2,000 words and to be the log ical reasoning of the pupil after a. careful study of the question, Nconsult- ing such authorities as he may desire. The Major will give list of autflori-J ties on the question to any pupil. He further desires that Messrs. Edward '. Hallen, John J. Clallinan and Lynn w. Wilson be named as the judges in the selection of the prize winner. The communication was referred to the. committee on schools.
 Plans for an eight room addition to the Summerfield school were submit ted at the meeting by Architect J. W. Northrop and accepted. The cost of the addition will be about $30,0o0. The architect was instructed to secure bids to be opened at a meeting Friday even ing, May 2S.
 A communication was received from the Swedish Lutheran church, Black Rock. asking for permission to use one of the portable school buildings in Brewster street. on Sundays, for Sun day school. The matter was referred to the committee on school houses to act in conjunctfcH with Superintendent Deane.
 Bills for the salaries of teachers for April amounting to $20 495. 45 were or dered paid. The report of the super intendent showed that the attendance for the month ending May 2, was 12- 778. an increase of 645 over the core spending period of last year; and the average deily attendance Il, ,S26 an in- crease of S99 over the same period of last year. The report also informed the board that the Jane and Grand street schools were running on half time.

Lion Hunting Tame.
Or. Seaman Declares Roosevelt Runs Little
Risk.

DR.. Louis l. Seaman, of New
York, who returned last week by
the Lusitania from a hunting trip
in Africa, i'll the same regioa that
Mr.. Roosevelt will traverse, has
little patience with the talk that
some travellers have INDUCED in
concerning the dangers the former
President will run.
C "A lion stands no chance at all )"
said DR.. Seaman. Before the
hunters get shot at him, he has
been chased by the beaters until he
is so winded that there is little
harm left in him. For the most
part, African hunting is about as
thrilling as in an English park.
The one real danger is the tse-
tse fly in the lowlands.
DR.. Seaman is friend of the
former President and was at the
dinner given in honor of Mr..
Roosevelt at Mombasa on April 2I.
