Special Notice to Patrons.
We must apologize for the tardy appear-
ance of the'GAznrrr. this week. Christmas
coming on Monday we preferred to give our
employees a holiday rather than compel
them to work at a time when everyone else
was enjoying the gladsome festivities. We
trust that cur generous patrons will pardon
the delay. Next week we shall not issue the
Gazsrrs until Tuesdaymightf New Years
also comes on Monday, but after that "time .
we will promptly bring out the paper with
all the local news as usual.

D311: Gaznrrx:
The struggle over the question of adjourn-
ing for the holidays, according to ancient
custom and usage, has been most spirited
and very amusing. There are those in both
Hauses who feel that the usual “holiday
recess” ought not to be taken this year
because of the exceptional importance to the
bisincss interests of the country, of the
Tariff measures now under consideration in
both Houses. The House struggled to get
away, while the Republican majority in the
Senate refused to adjourn over. The usual
result, however, was reached in the House
on Friday. So many members had .made
business and social engagements for all the
time usually alloted during the accustomed
holiday recess, that is early as Friday there
was not a quorum of members of the House
in the city, and Saturday morning it met and
adjourned over till next Wednesday, with
less than fifty members present, and next
Wednesday possibly a score of members
will meet and adjourn three days more, and
then meet again and adjourn over till the
third of January, just as was at first voted
and determined upon in the House. The
Senate held a Saturday session again yester-
day, and has resolutely set its face against
any holiday adjournment this year. Senator
Plait had important business engagements at
home, but voted with the majority not to
adjourn, and will maintain his consistency,
as he always does, by remaining at his post
here.

The Civil Service. question is being made
the chief partisan foot-ball in the Senate
now. The Democrats, who have hitherto
been so fierce for it, seem to have lost all
interest in this reform.

Under‘the almost universal supposition
that the deliberations and recommendations
of the Tariff Commission would not amount
to anything, our almost innumerable man-
ufacturing interests had only the slightest
rcpresent'ation before that body, and, as is
well known, no representation, as it should
have had, in that body. Now, that female--
tion is likely to follow its recommendations,
our manufacturers are thoroughly “stirred
tip " about the matter. And well‘they may
be. In iron, ti'n, brass, nickel, and indeed
all the metals, and in divers other imported
products entering into the materials used by
our Connecticut manufacturers, the proposed
new tariff rates will more or less affect, and
in many things, as in case of the Stamford
Dye Woods Manufactory, the recommenda.
tions of the committee are ruinous.
or ova woons.
John H. Leeds, Esq, of New Haven,
presented his views to the Ways and Means
Committee of the House and Finance Com-
mittee of the Senate, as follows :
Mr. Leeds—I am connected with the
Stamford Manufacturing Company, manu-
facturers of dyc-‘wood extract and decoctions
and represent the dye-wood extract trade in
general. ‘ . .
The Tariff Commission in their wrsdom
have seen fit, for some reason not understood
by us. to place dyewood extracts and decoc-
tions on the free list, they having heretofore
been under a duty of 10 per centum ad
color-em. The inconsistency of such a course
seems to us very great, from the fact that 10
per centum ad oalorem is the greatest revenue
point possible to the Government. On ini-
portations during the last year somewhere
about $50,000 have been collected by the
Government at this low rate. This business
was in its early days peculiarly an American
industry, having been developed and per-
fected in this country many yearsiu advance
of Europe. For many years past extracts
of dye woods have been exported largely to
to Europe, but during the last ten years the
French have become experts in their manu-
factures, and have sent to this country
During the last six years the increase of
extracts and decoctions of dye woods from
France into this country has been at the rate
of one million pounds per year, until the
car 1881 the amount is six millions."
revious to the new fluid of 1881 American
dyes and articles dyed with American dyes
were prohibited from entering into France
under any condition. Under the new French
tariff regulations they are subjected to a rate
of duty of 20 to 30 francs per 100 kilos,
which is so high as to be in practice prohib-
itory, while they, under our low rate of 10
per cent. ad colorant, have almost free access
to our markets.
Under the old prohibitory and present
protective tariff, France has increased and is
rapidly increasing her consumption of crude
dye woods and production of the manufac-
tured article, as shown by the’fact of a
steady increase from 42,000 tons of crude
wood consumed in France in the year 1868
to 120.000 tons in the year 1881, the increase
beingstcady and uniform, while the increase
in.the consumption of crude. dye woods in
this country has only been ii‘v-nr 75,000 tons
in 187510 85,000 unis in 188], notnilh
' standing the fact that our fabric/manufac-
turers, who are the grout consumers of these
productions, have doubled. and more than
doubled, their capacity and consumption.
The fact that there was imported into this
country a steadily increasing amount of dye-
wood extracts and decoctions from about
900,000 pounds in 1876 to 6,000,000 pounds
in 1881. shows‘that the foreign manufacturers
are fast gaining on ascendency in this line of
business, both in Europe and in this coun-
try, to the detriment of American capital
and labor, The French manufacturers are
fast absorbing from us the European market
as well as making intends upon our own.
1 cannot see why the American Congress
should remove the slight incidental protection
of a strictly protective tariff rate of 10 per
centum adeawrem and place the article upon
the free list. . .
Another glaring inconsistency is the fact
that in the dutiable list, Schedule A, as'
submitted ,by the Tariff Commission, on
page 51, is a provision that
woods used expressly for dyeing, but
which have been advanced if: value or
condition by refining or grinding or other
process of manufacture, are placed under a
10 per centum ad colorant rate. The incon-
sistency of this appears more gross when we
consider the fact that the condition herein
named, a protection by a duty of 10 per
centum ad oalorem, advances the value of
the crude woods from which dyes are made
at most only 25 per cent., while the extract
produced from the more highly refined arti-
ole, which advances the value of the wood
from 500 to 600 per cent, is placed upon the
free list. .
A condition incident to this trade might
be mentioned in favor of American protec-
tion, namely, the crude woods are all impor-
ted into this country from the West India
Islands, Mexico, Central and South America,
and are almost entirely paid for by exchange
in American products, thereby making a
market for our agricultural products and en-
couraging American labor.
One further condition a ainst the Ameri-
can manufacturer is the di erence in the cost
of the price of labor in France and America.
The result of placing extracts and decoc-
tions of fustic, red woods, and all other
extracts and decoctions of dye wood on the
free list will he to destroy in a few years’
time this brsnelr of our American industries,
and we therefore hope that at least the old
rate of 10 per centum ad valorem will be re-
tained. .
LIOOIllCE rasrn Axe nous.
I wish in this connection to make a state-
ment in reference to licorice paste:
Some years ago the manufacture of licorice
paste was begun in this country, and it has
been a steadily increasing industry to the
present time. Twenty years ago the price
of licorice paste, or rolls, in this country
aireraged abdut twenty cents per pound;
but, owing to competition among the
American manufacture, the price has stead-
ily declined, until the present average
is less than' fifteen cents per pound.
The present duty is ten cents per
pound, ' specific In the dutiable list,
as proposed by the Tariff Commission,
Schedule A, on page 49 of their report, the
duty on this article is reduced from ten
cents tosix cents per pound. This ratewe
deem unjust and unreasonable, it being“)
1
per cent. upon an article of American man,
ufacture from crude material grown in.a
foreign country ; and we believe that it wrll
be impracticable for American manufacturers
to successfully compete with foreign manu-
facturers on the basis of six cents per pound
duty, for the reason that the price of labor
in Turkey, Spain, and the Mediterranean
ports (the only place where this article is
grown, and is manufactured) is from.18 to
20 cents per day, while the average price of
American labor in the manufacture of the
same product is $1.75 per day. ’ _
The freight on the root as against the
freight on the manufactured article, value
for value, is about as three to one. Coal-
for the use of the factories in'Turkey, where
most of it is made, is mined within five or
six miles of the factories, and costs less than
half whatlour coal costs us. The foreign
article has been sold, and repeatedly ofiered
in bond in this country, at from seven to
,eight per pound, while the American pro-
duct in the market for some years has aver-
aged less than fifteen cents per pound.
What we require for success is a rate of
duty sufficient to cover the difference in the
cost of production, and also to overcome the
prejudice existing in the country in favor. of
articles of foreign manufacture, a prejudice
[0 great in this case that the annual impor-
tations into this country for many years past
have exceeded one million pounps per an-
num. This shows that 10 cents per pound
duty is not prohibitory, and we urge the
necessity at least of imposing a duty some-
what more than sufficient to cover the dif-
ference in the east of manufacture, which
the proposed rate of six cents barely‘does,
and state that the rate of 7; cents per pound,
for which we ask in our petition. will not
increase the cost of domestic licorice beyond
the price at which it would be sold with the
rate of 0 cents, and that a reduction of 25
per cent. of the duty now paid by those who
use foreign licorice would be sample at this
time.
Almost the entire consumption of licorice
paste in this country is in the manfaeture of
plug tobacco, a very small proportion being
used in confections and medicines ; and the
tobacco manufacturers, highly appreciating
the fact that the American manufacturers of
licorice paste have steadly improved the
quality and diminished the cost of the am-
cle, have repeatedly petitioned Congress,
when an agitation for repeal of duty has
been made, to retain the duty of 10 cents
per pound, alleging as a reason their fear.
that the destruction of the American manu-
facture would leave them at the mercy of a
few foreign capitalists, and the price he made
higher than under the present conditions.
We ask no undue protection; we cheer-
fully assent to a reduction of 25 per centum,
from ten cents per pound to seven and a half
cents per pound, and we respectfully ask
that that rate be inserted in the proposed
Schedule A, instead of six cents, as now
submitted.
Hon. L. W. Coe has presented the views
of himself and of F. J. Kingsbury, D. S.
Plumb, and G. W. Cheeseman, who sign
themselves a “ Committee representing
eleven brass and German-silver manufactur-
ing companies, located in the Naugatuck
Valley, whose united capital and investments
exceed the sum of eight millions of dollars.”
The Parker's, gun manufacturers of Meri-
den, are also here zealously looking after
their interests, while Wm. H. H. Wooster,
of Seymour, is here trying to induce a
change in the proposed tariff on tin. The
sugar interests of New Haven shippers are
also being vigilantiy looked after. and with
all these representatives of vast interests
throughout the country the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, and the Finance
Committee of the Senate, are not having an
over-quiet time of it. -
MR. PLAYT'S PENSION BILL.
Mr. Platt has reported from the Committee
on Pensions a bill which has an important
bearing upon many. pending pension cases.
_It is as. follows: That nothing contained in
the not entitled “An act to amend section
4702, title 57, revised statutes of the United
States, and for other purposes, approved
August 7, 1882, shall be construed or operate
to change the date of the commencement of
widows’ pensions, as provided in the second
section of the act of March 3, 1879.” The
act, the construction of which the bill re-
ported by Mr. Plait is to define, provides
that in case of death or disability of a
soldier, his widow or children shall be en-
titled to thegsame pension as he would have
been entitled to, datl from his death or
disability. The act w ich this latter act
amends provides that unless the application
for such pension shall be made prior to the
first of July, 1880, it shall date with the
appliEation, and not with the death or disa-
bility of the person on whose account the
pension is granted. There are excepted
from the limitation claims in behalf of insane
persons and children under 16 years of age.
Widows are now proposed by Mr. Platt’s
bill to be also included within the exceptions.
rnxsrox'ro OLD, onn vars.‘
Representative Ricehas been instructed
by the committee on invalid pensions to re-
port, as a substitute, for all pending bills of
the same character, a bill which has been
adopted by the committee to grant pensions
for service in the Mexican and sundry Indian
wars. The bill provides for a pension of $8
permonth to all soldiers of the Mexican,
Black Hawk, and Florida wars who served
not less than thirty days, or who, in connec-
tion with their service, have been mentioned
by name by Congress; widows of soldiers
who have not since married,provided they
were married at the time of the service of
the soldier through whom they may claim
pension. The bill provides for equalizing
this class of pensions by increasing to $8
those which are now of less amount. The
only persons excluded from the benefits of
the bill by reason of having taken part in
the war of the rebellion are those who have
since failed to take advantage of the act of
Congress providing, for pardons, or who are
by that not expressly excluded.
A new rsxsrox FIGURES.
Commissioner Dudley, of the Pension
Bureau, has submitted a reply to Senator
Plati’s resolution of inquiry into the con?
dition of the rolls, work, &c. The- number
of pensioners on the rolls December 2 was
about 291,656, to whom $30,013,000 is paid
yearly. The number of applications pending
is 297,201, with 79,583 on the rejected files,
one-third of which will probably be re-
examined, and of these perhaps ten per cent.
be allowed, upon new evidence. The die-
bursement for arrears has been $97,891,506.-
98. Colonel Dudley thinks that 80 per cent.
of the claims filed prior to J My 1, 1880. will
probably be allowed, making an addition of
about $204,705,000 to the arrears amount.»
ADULTERATION.
A bill introduced in the House by Mr.

That New Press, &.c.
We did not intend to curb in the least
our genial friend “ Fritz's ” well-known
enterprise in seeking for earliest information.
His statement as to our having purchased a
new press is entirely true, and it only awaits
our long, protracted and vexatious work of
“ reconstruction” to be set up and put to
running. It is what is known as the
“ Improved Taylor Newspaper " press, man-
ufactured by the Rounds Type and Press Co.
of Chicago. It is pronounced by newspaper
experts to be the very best press made for
the purpose, and we are satisfied, after a
most painstaking and diligent search, that
the press deserves this commendation. The
one we have purchased was made upon our
special order, and we have the makers’
assurance that it is the finest finished, the
best made, and most perfect printing machine
ever turned out at their works. It ‘ «sighs
almost four tons, and our freight bill on it
from Chicago was nearly one/hundred dol-
lars. We regret, more than our generous
patrons possibly can, that the bui‘ders’ delay
in getting our new press room completed,
will'not enable us to have it in running order
for our first number of the Gamma printed
in January. This and other important im-
provements we had relied upon, and “ Fritz’s"
error was only in stating that our improve-
ments would be introduced the firstof the
new year, the statement made to him being
that such had been our purpose, but that we
had been foiled in it.- lint they are sure to
come, and when accomplished, " Fritz"
shall have all the credit due for having been
“first" to announce the fact.
A Religious Awakening.
The Revival Services which have been
held the past three weeks at the Tabernacle
Baptist Church under the direction of the
pastor, assisted by Rev. S. H. Pratt. of New
York, and Mr. E. F. Miller, of Chicago, and
at the First E. E. Church, have been pro-
ductive of great results. South Norwalk
has nbt been so stirred for many years, and
it is said that more than a hundred persons
have given themselves to Christ. Last Sun-
day evening Evangelic Services were com-
menced in the First Baptist Church, borough.
.The pastor is assisted by Mr. Clark Wilson,
the Lay Evangelist, and his'wife. These
workers have an excellent record in this
country and Great Britain, and much good
has resulted from their labors. Mrs. Wilson
is a sister of‘the late P. P. Bliss, whose
songs are familiar to every Sunday-school
scholar, and is a very sweet and powerful
singer. The church was filled to overflowing
at the first meeting, and the outlook is very
encouraging. Christians are praying that
our part of the town may be moved by the
Holy Spirit, and large numbers be saved.
Meetings will be held at the First Baptist
Church each afternoon and evening this
week, except Saturday, from three to four in
the afternoon and at halfpast seven in the
evening. Mrs. Wilson will sing at all the
meetings.
' Exonerated.
Under this head the’ Brooklyn Eagle, of
December 19th, says :——“A motion \vas made
this morning before Mr. Justice Cullen in
the Supreme Court for an extra allowance to
the defendant in the suit of Charles Craske
against John H. Haulenbeek, on the ground
that it was a difficult and extraordinary case.
Both parties are well known residents of this
city. Mr. Craskc is wealthy and Mr. Haul-
enbeek bought and managed real estate for
him. In 1876 Mr. Craske brought- a suit
against Mr. Haulenbeek to recover $10,000,
'which he alleged Mr. Haulenbeek had mis-
appropriated. The cause went to trial be-
fore Mr. Levi A. Fuller, as referee, who
found that no moneys had been misappro-
priated by the defendant but that he had
properly applied all that came into his hands
belonging to the plaintiff.
Mr. Haulenbeek formerly resided in
Norwalk ,and has many friends here, who
will join us in congratulating him upon his
vindication.
Presentation.
Conductor Frank Hermance has long been
regarded as the jolliest and most courteous
and genilemanly of all the conductorson the
N. Y., N. H. &H. R. R., and on Saturday
the commuters on his train in token of their
appreciation of his good qualities handed to-
gether and presented him with a box of fine
imported cigars for his Christmas, Mr. G.
Whyte Smith in a happy little speech made
the presentation and Conductor Hermance
feelingly responded. Another happy event
was theprcsentation at the same time, of a
handsome necktie to each of the three brake-
mcn on the train. The occasion was enjoyed
by all participating and although the jolly
Conductor’s present may all end in smoke,
yet we feel as§ured that Mr. Hermance will
always hold in his recollections a prominent
place for “The. Gang.”

A Man Killed.
As Mr. John Slaltery, brother of Patrick
Slattery, the Main Street Barber, was walk-
ing on the track at South Norwalk, Saturday
evening, he was struck by the 4:20 train and
killed. Mr. Slattery lived in Stamford and
together with his wife, had been over to
Norwalk to see his brother and make some
holiday purchases. They left his brother's
shop at about twenty minutes past three to
proceed to Stamford, but missing the train
and being obliged to wait two hours at South
N orwalk for another, they concluded to pay
a visit to Mr. P. Corcoran, at Whistleville.
They staid there till shortly before the time
for their train and then started up the track
for the depot. When they had arrived
opposite the Engine House, Mr. Slattery
stopped to speak to some frien-ls, his wife
going on ahead. After talking awhile he
started to overtake his wife, walkingr between
the tracks. The 3 o’clock train out of New
York was late and just then rounded the
bend and sounded the usual whistle. Mr.
Sizittcry probably heard the whistle and kept
on fetween the tracks till the train was with
in a few feet of him. when, doubtless, be.
coming confused, he stepped up an the track.
The Engine instantly struck him hurling
him several yards. When picked up life
was extinct, his bo.’.y being herri riy crushed.
The remains were carried to the little room
in the depot, next the Express Ollie-e, where
a jury was empanelled and viewed the body,
giving a verdict that the deceased came to
his death substantially as above. Tire Fu-
neral took place at the Catholic Church
yesterday afternoon and was attended by a
large concourse of friends.
. When herhusband was killed lire. Slat.
tery was only a few feet away from him and
looked around justin time to see his mangled
body thrown into the air by the locomotive.
The shock was a terrible one completely
prostrating her.
No blame is attached to the railroad com-
pany as Mr. S. stepped upon the track when
the engine was to close too be stopped, or
for the Engineer to sound any warning.

Mrs. Lan gtry.’s Escape.
A carriage containing Mrs. Langtry and
Mr. Gebahrdt narrowly escaped being run
into by a train at Philadelphia, Friday. The
horses were being driven at a fast gait, and
just as the crossing at the Reading Railroad
depot was reached the warning bell rang and
the gates were lowered. The horses dashed
under the descending gates on the north side,
but did not reach the southern gates until
they were down, so that the team was fairly
at the mercy of the spproachinglocemotive.
At this critical moinent the gateman threw
up the gate and gave the team time to escape.

Accident at the Lock Shop.
Saturday afternoon ‘while Mr. Wm. F.
McLean was attending to some machinery in
the Lock Shop, his right hand became caught
and his fingers .were horribly mashed. He
was pladed in a carriage and conveyed to the
residence of Dr. Purdée who amputated his
fore finger betweu the second and third
joints, after which he was taken home. Mr.
McLean has been singularly unfortunate in
this respect, his hand being caught and badly
crushed in the same machine a year and half
ago. -

Amusements. ‘
Manager Mitchell has “Haverley’s Con-
solidated Mastodon Minstrels” booked '_for
Thursday night at the Opera House. Speak-
ing of them'the Baltimore Herald of Oct. 19,
says:
Notwithstanding the rain, Haverly’s Mas-
todon Consolidated Minstrels have filled
Every visitor unhesitatingly declares that
this is the best minstrel show ever scen'ln
this city. The “Only Leon” is generally
acknowledged to be the best in his line of
character impersonations on the stage, and
this season he is sustaining his reputation.
His new clothes, made by Worth of Paris,
are immense, and the ladies raise their
lorgnettes whenever he comes on the stage.
His caricature of La Diva Patti is worth
going a long way to see. He brings.down
the house,_and is not suffered to depart till
the scenes are drawn to show off the Zouave
drum corps, who perform in a- wonderful
manner. and the plantation scene, with the
dance and by-play are excellent‘ and new.
The piece do resistance, however, is the Patti
Soiree. This is a grand final, and leaves the
departing guests in a humor which lasts long
enough to bring them again to Ford’s. In
this closing act the whole company is seen
to great advantage. Here come the drum
- corps, Mr. Ray, the interlocutor; Peter
Mack, and Leon as Mme. Patti, in his gor- _
gens classic costume, which takes the eyes.
Frank Cushman’s acting as Vahderbilt‘e ser-
‘vant in this piece was a fine piece of acting
as we ever witnessed.

Fire and Burglar Alarm:
Manager Lee, of the Telephone Company,
is agitating a scheme that should at once re.
ceive the attention of ourcitizens, particular-
Iy those living in the out skirts of the town.
It consists in the placing of an electric bell
over and outside the window of the room in
the Bank Building now occupied by the
Company as a Central Ofiice. Whenevera
fire occurs, or burglars break into any house
with telephonic connection, the inmates can,
by giving a certain signal, at once inform the
Central Ofilce of the trouble. Then Mr. Lee,
who is in the office all night, will "strike
this bell which will summon the police. to
whom the locality of the fire or burglary
cm at once be given. If it is a fire, the fire
alarm can be struck and the fire companies
h: on the spot long before any communica-
tion couldbe received without the aid of the
telephone. If it is burglary, the police would
know just where to go and would be on hand
~n time to save much property and probably
also secure the thieves. The advantages of
th as afeguard areat once apparent,for in such
cases moments are precious and not to be
t irown away. The members of the police
force all favor the idea and claim that such a
contrivance 'would materially assist them in
the performance of their duties. The cost of
the bell and the placing of it into position,
Mr. Lee informs us, would not be more than
$35 and he proposes, inasmuch as the people
of the borough are tl.e ones to be benefited,
that the borough should shoulder the ex-
pense—which proposal seems to us to be
equitable and fair. As Mr. Lee has kindly
offered to personally attend to the bell and
without compensation, there will be no ex-
pense upon the borough further than the cost
of- construction. Of course those who have
Inleplionic connection are to he most benefit,-
ed by this arrangement, but at the same time
their neighbours who may not be subscribers
will also come in for a share of the benefit, so
that it is not amatter of importance for one
person but for one and all. We think we
need not further explain, as property-owners
can readily see all the advantages likely to
accrue to them from such an arrangement.
We understand that the matter will be pre-
sented at the next meeting of the Court of
Burgesscs, when, we trust. it will receive
favorable action. And meanwhile Mr. Lee
deserves the thanks of the community for
his zealous efforts in behalf of the safety of
its preperty and its people.

“Something from the City.”
Sunday he a day of rest and Monday as a
holiday gave the people for all practical pur-
poses, two bolidays. Weather favored in
both and the city put on her gayest attire,
enabling all to enjoy the same. Sunday
wave does not overtake us meantime, will
permit us to repeat.
At the Springwood prayer meeting, Sun;
day evening, the subject treated was, “God’s
Mercy Abused” and the speaker emphasized
his remarks with copious illustrations tend-
ing to show the slnner’s disiegard of the im-
portance of improving opportunities and of
the need of a fuller compliance with Divine
Will. There appears to be anincreased in-
terest in the services. ’ ‘
Men employed on the Pegasus were per-
mitted to rest from Saturday evening, till

The Sabbath School of the Congregational
Church, held their monthly Concert, on Sun-

he was detained in New York.
If there were no theatrical performances
given in Norwalk or South Norwalk a bowl
of indignation would arise we are sure.
People naturally wish some amusements and
they ought to have them. .But there is an-
other sido to this matter and it is this: Nor-
walk and South Norwalk have two capable
and efficient caterers' to the public desire for
entertainments, Messrs. Knapp and Mitchell.
These two gentlemen labor hard and often
at large expense to themselves induce first
class troupes to give our people an evening’s
\pleasure. And how are they generally re-
warded P With audiences so small that they
are not only unable to realize expenses'but
are frequently compelled to make good the
deficiency out of their own pockets. At
“Virginias” in Music Hall last Saturday
night there was a very slim audience though
the troupe was the best in the country
and composed of the.best actors, and the
' same might be said of "The Professor” played
a few weeks previous. The people of Norwalk
must understand that this apathy on their
part cannot be continued. Either they must
give more and better patronage to the efforts
of our theatre mIinagers or soon they will
find their theatres and places of amusement
closed, and be compelled to go ,to {surround-
ing towns for their entertainments. We
trust that our warning will be heeded and
the public will give to our worthy managers
the support their efforts deserve.
There is a rumor that R. P. Beatty’s gro-
