Entered in the Post Ofiice as a Newspaper
The Friday Gazette.
The WEEKLY GAZETTE is issued this
'week in a twelve page form, the largest
weekly paper ever issued in NorWalk.
It is filled with live telegraph news of
the world as well as the latest local
news of Norwalk -and surrounding
towns. In addition to all this it con-
tains a chapter of the celebrated story
’“TheSign of the Four," by Conan
Doyle, as well as several interesting
short stories. ,
As an advertisingr medium, to reach
not only the home people but a large
mail list of country subscriber , it has
no equal in the town, a tact which the
live merchants have already learned ii.
using its advertising columns.
Will Be Dated.
Several of the leaders in the contest
for the EVENING Gaznrrn’s piano have
called upon us and requested that We
return to the original plan of dating the
coupons, in order that each contestant
will have some knowledge ’of the
strength of the other.
Upon consideration we have decided
to cOmply with their wishes, and will
on April 6th next, commence and date
the ballots each day as was done at the
6
opening of the contest, allowing one
week in which to deposit them.
We have set the date for the sixth of
April in order that all contestants will
have ample time in which to hand in
the ballots now out. After that time
no ballots will be received unless dated
as smell above

Reed and Massachusetts.
There is undoubtedly in store for
Thomas Brackett Reed to day the
unique distinction of an endorsement
' for President by the Republican party
in Massachusetts such as no New E ig
land Republican before him ever had—
an expression that will be undivided,
strong, hearty, warm and sincere. Mas-
sachusetts will speak first, and all the
other New England States may con.
fidently be expected to take up this same
cry in the same key. There are, to be
sure, vague rumors of slight defections
in Connecticut and Vermont, but we
have the word of the Hon. Joseph H.
Manley, of Maine, that the seventy- '
eight votes of New England, Will be
cast solid for Reed. The executive
chairman of the Republicin National
Committee is not given to “talking
through his hat,” and may surely be
credited with knowing the situation bet-
ter than anybody else—his principal
not excepted. It is inevitable, there~
fore that the Speaker must take a 00m-
- mending position before the St. Louis
convention at the very outset and that
his candidacy will be continually at the
front in the struggle and the shuffle
that will follow. The Republican party
never before had better Presidential
timber to select from, and to the wis-
dom of its delegates must be left the
choice. '

Obituary.
HORATIO ROBERTS.
The late Horatio Roberts whose de-
mise was chronicled in these columns
Friday last, and who has been a OIEIZJI
of Norwalk since April 1888, was a man
of intelligence, a positive character,
and during his active life a power
among his contemporaries. In the
days of his commerce with men he was
alert, efficient and eminently equal to
an emergency; was one who in a period
of dub.ous market or doubtful party
fortunes, comprehended intuitively the
situation of affairs; in whose prompt
judgment such political “leaders as
Thur-low Weed and Roscoe Conklin and
- such business managers as the Newburg
Steamboat magnates had confidence.
He was a man of pronounced opinions
and of Jefi‘ersonian fidelity to his con-
victions,lwhich he was Wont vigorously
to assert, and yet was he, nevertheless,
a man of strong attachments and of
warm feelings.
He was born in Wallingford‘, this
State, and married, first, the sister of
Thomas Schuyler, the head of the nota-
ble Hudson River Schuyler Transporta-
iion Company, and second, the excel-
lent New Haven lady who, with her
step-son, Col. Frank S. Roberts, sur-
vives him.

I. K. Emmet. ,_
J. K. Emmet’s impersonation of the
character ‘of “Fritz” is distinct, well
rounded and finished in detail. It
brings out all the quaint iiobility of
soul that lies benea h the unpolished
exterior of the German lad, who con-
fronts the misfortunes and humors of
adventure. “Fritz” has always been
one of the most lovable characters por-
trayed upon the stage and in the new
play takes on a dignity which makes
him the center of a true-to-life story.
A large share of the affection bestowed
upon "Fritz” is accorded the actor,
who makes the creation of the play-
wright a thing of flesh, and blood. Mr.
Emmet will be at Hoyt’s Theatre, Sat-
urday night, with an excellent support-
ing company.
