Despite the fear and apprehension
that injury might come to our Captain
Ike, if he went to fooling with thetfaci-
nating but treacherous bicycle, so gen-
erously expressed in last evening’s GA-
ZETTE, the rumor reaches us this morn-
ing that Capt. Ike takes kindly. to the
suggestion of having a bike. He is
moved thereto, largely by the grief he
suffers on account of the great expense
to the town of hiring one of liveryman
Dann’s prancing steeds whenever he
rides abroad on the town’s busine 88.3
Captain Ike is nothing, if not eco-
nomical. Ec inomy is his strongest hold.
Nor is he at all inconsistent or insincere
in this. He treats himself in his finan-
cial relations to the town’s treasury,
with the same costive stringency he
treats others. He boastsflliaft he has as
yet, drawn not a single cent of his pay
as Selectman, although sworn into of-
fice on October 8th last. In this he has
broken all records. Yet he cares not
for records whether kept or broken.
He no doubt was moved to this self re-
pression by his overpowering impulse
for economy and has only wanted to
save the town, the nearly ten months’
interest which has accrued on his
thousand dollar salary.
‘ Such self sacrificing economy should
rmov-e the hardestheart to eye-bedewing
Here is one public officer who
gputs his whole time and soul into a
faithful discharge of his duties. Yea,
:more, introduces the same severe and
.rigid economy in the conduct of the
«town’s affairs that he would in his own
"personal business. Indeed, he is freely
charged with being a great deal meaner
in town than in private transactions.
What nobler compliment could be paid
a public officer disburs’irg the peeplels
money ? So if Capt. life is set on hav-
ing a bicycle as a matter of economy,
we shall oppose no further objections,
but await the result of his struggles
with the pesky critter with fear and
trembling, and when gallantly he rides
abroad, may we be there to see.
John Lewis and Ida Jones.
The bewitehinglyjunny editor of the
always brilliant Washington Post, thus
delivers himself over the, as he says’
brief but interesting paragraph in an
esteemed contemporary, the Marryville
Times, which is just now receiving wide
dissemination through the medium of
the press.
“John Lewis, a popular young man
of this community, andiMiss Ida Jones,
a long hollow school teacher, were mar-
ried last week.”
There are several Maryvilles in the
country, one in Missouri}? another in
‘ Tennessee, and still others scattered
about promiscuously. The name is an
I attractive one, suggestive of pretty lit-
tle girls going to school with dear little
white lambs following them, their tails
all done up in ribbon.
No wonder the rural poetic instinct
turns impulsively to Maryville as a
proper designation for sweet bucolic
villages in verdure and
threaded by purling streams. We do
not wonder, therefore, at the existence
of this particular Maryville or the pres-
ence there as part of the population, of
a Miss Jones. What we do wonder at,
though, is the coincidence that the Miss
Jones in question should be along, hol-
low school teacher. That one should
be long, under such mellow, pastorial
circumstances, we can believe. Sur-
rounded by trees, flowers, birds, fed
upon iich milk, fried eggs, yellow-leg-
ged chickrns, the toothsome flap-jack
and in.- far-reaching syllabub, it is easy
immersed
to grow long.
'l‘herc are no midgets reared in the
rural districts ofcMissouri and Tennes-
Bee. Under those bracing and product-
iVe influence men and women alike at-
tain great size and stature. Nor do we
see why Miss Jones, or Miss Anybod-
else should not have undertaken the
training of the youthful mind. It is a
gentle and most deserving occupation,
full of usefulness and honor. The
youthful mind of Maryville needs train-
ing, like the youthful mind elsewhere,
and who is more' likely to be competent
than 9. Jones, and a Miss Ida Jones at
that? What we do not understand is
lithat Maryville should have had a long,
hollow schcol teacher. We have never
heard of such a thing before.
‘ “a
Still we wish the young couple every
happiness in their new blended lives.
If John Lewis could not content him-
self with any other than a long, hollow
school teacher, as the partner of his
sorrows and his joys, who, pray, has a
right to criticise?_ Maybe that is just
_ the kind of a bride he wanted. Every-
body doesn’t want a short, stufi'ed girl
for his sweetheart. Tastes difl‘er. It
is all very well for the poet to sing:
Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long.
Perhaps John Lewis is not a poet.
Perhaps John Lewis knows his business.
Let us give them both our blessing and
—our prayers.” -
Speaking from bitter experience, let
the GAZETTE with due timidity, suggest
the possibility of an awful typographical
blunder in the record. May itnot have
beeh written by the pains taking scribe
with great capitals thus—Long Hollow,
and had sole reference to a locality and
not to the bamboo limbs of the fascina-
ting school marm ? And may not, as
is so oft his wont, the unregenerate
compositor kept the pretty locality
name down to simple lower case and
thus caused all this redundant levity?
Your Physical Condition
Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over-
WOrk or strain on brain and body. The
course of treatment for such a condition-
is plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified” so that the nervous
system, and in fact all the organs will
be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent
people without number have testified
that the blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish
when Hood’s Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken; in a word, health and happiness
follow after taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

Hoyt’s Theatre.
So much homely pathos, such an ap-
pealing domestic story, and so much
genuine natural humor are combined in
“The Old Homestead,” that it is un-
failing in its interest to all classes of
theatre-goers, and its coming on Wed-
nesday next to Hoyt’s Theatre is an
announcement that will be welcome
news to its many admirers. The per-
formance by the company, in which are
some of the original members, will be
found as perfect as ever, and every-
thing about the production, the scenery
surroundings and muscial features as-
sist in making it one of the most natur-
al as well as enjoyable pictures of rural
life.
Sunshine and Shadow.
“Polly and I’” attracted an apprecia-
tive audience to the Opera House last
night and “Polly and I” was a winner.
of public approbation. It was inter-
spersed with taking specialties, every
one of which received a deserved en-
core.‘ The J ulian Comedy company is
a good one and ought to draw a full
house every night. There will be a
candy matinee to-morrow afternoon.
The play billed for to-night is “Sun-
shine and Shadow” and the popular sou-
brette Lizzie Evans will make her first
appearance before 9. Norwalk audience.
A Brutal Husband.
A husband was engaged in beating his
wife in “Battle Row” early last even-
ing, and the children ran out into the
street and stood in the rain being afraid
that they too might not escape the
man’s wrath. Neighbors say that such
scenes are of frequent :occurrence and
think the man deserving of punishment.
They are liable to make a complaint
to the proper officers. The man, if
such he may be called, is supported in
idleness by his wife. His name is
O’Grady.

Board of Health.
A meeting of the Board of Health
was held last evening, at which the re-
port of Health Inspector Hunt was
received. Nearly one hundred nuisan-
ces, in the way of cess-pools, closets,
etc. were presented to the council by
Mr. Hunt. In several cases the parties
complained of will be ordered to con-
nect with the sewer, andiu all instances
the nuisances complained of will be
ordered abated.

Sometimes persons become blind
from impure blood, which develops
scrofulous ulcers on the eyeballs, iritis,
granulated eyelids, etc. In such cases
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing the
Sore
eyes and restoring all the affected
parts to healthy condition. Read this:
“As an act of justice and for the ben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afflicted children, I write this. About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the worst form and in a- few weeks
was entirely blind, being unable to tol-
crate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The best eye .specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the
§Eyes
became worse. Then I took her to a special-
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,
and goes to school. When she began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat
her meals in a darkened room, but now
