Shell Fish Exhibit.
The exhibit made by the Shell Fish
commissioners at the Danbury Fair is
most entertaining and instructive. It
fills three long cases and is located in
the big tent a short distance from the
band stand. It is much more extensive
and interesting than that made by the
commission last year. After the Fair it
will-be taken to Bridgeport where it
will be shown under the auspices of the
Bridgeport Library association. From
there it will go to New Haven for ex-
hibition. Next winter it will be sent to
Germany at the request of the German
government and will become a part of
the German permanent museum collec-
tion for the shell fish commission, will
go to Germany with it and set it up
there.
A Cynical Assault.
, Congressman Hill is to have a walk-
over, and must hold himself in control
against what is called "big head.”—
Hour.
Fortunately for Congressman Hill,
the conditions among his open and
honorable foes in the Fourth district
are such this year that he will nodoubt
be able. to pull through in spite of the
handicap of the Hour’s blighting “good
will.”-—News. '
Republican Rally.
. Senator O. H. Platt and Congressman
Hill, will speak at the Norwalk Opera
House next Friday evening, the 16th
. inst. In addition to this Oratorical at-
traction, the Bridgeport Glee Club of

SOUND lVlO_NlEY TALK.
Speaker Reed Addresses a
Large Audience in
Bridgeport.
Many Norwalk People in Attendance.
Yesterday, the Park City had Speak-
er T‘homas B. Reed of Maine, Senators
Orville H. Platt and Joseph R, Hawley
and Congressman E. J. Hill, as its
guests. In the evening, Speaker Reed
addressed first, a packed mass of eager
listeners at the Bridgeport Armory,
and later another audience at Sailors
Hall. At the Armory, Mr. Reed was
followed by Hon. William D. Bishop,
whose guest the speaker was while in
Bridgeport. At Sailer’s Hall Mr. Reed
followed the speeches made by our two
Senators. The enthusiastic greeting
given all the speakers and especially
Speaker Reed, was an evidence that
there are no sleepy honest money men
in the Park City.
Norwalk sent a delegation of over a
hundred of its representative citizens 0
both parties. Rev. Mr. Pond, Mayor
Wheeler. Judge Hubbell, Dr. Gregory,
Col. Frost, Attorney Light, Col. Crowe,
J. C. Randle and a host of others,‘
were of the delegation. Congressman
Hill and Senatorial Candidate E. O.
Keeler, went over early in the day, to
greet Mr. Reed. All who went, -were
more than repaid for their trip. Large
delegations from all the nearby towns,
helped to pack the great Armory and
overflow hall. _
Mr. Reed’s speech was above and
beyond the ordinary campaign addres-
ses. Judge Hubbell denominates it as
a felicitous combination of essay and
sermon. No fairer or abler presenta-
tion of the financial side of the present
political issues, has been given in Con-
necticut. .
Hon. William D. Bishop gave a most
happy address, clearly stating his firm
position on the honest money side of
the Presidential is sues.
The Bridgeport Glee club, greatly
enlivened things by their apt campaign,
songs, one Of which satorizing Houlihan
and landing Hill, made our Congress-
man blush to the roots of his hair.
Speaker Reed. also gave our Mr. Hill»
a Well deserved commendation for his
industry and usefulness in Congress. It
was a high eulogy from a most authori.
tive and worthy source.
Houlihan.
The Bridgeport Tippecanoe chorus,
sang the following selection at the Reed
meeting in the Armory in that city last
night:
Air: “Maryland, My Maryland.”
The Norwalk man is after you.
Houlihau, oh Houlihau,
You’ll have to see what you can do,
Houlihau, oh Houlihau,
The race for congress you will find,
Is very different than the kind,
That you, perhaps, have in your mind,
Houlihau, oh Houlihan.
On Newtown Hill the air is great,
Houlihau, oh Houlihau,
It’s called the finest in the state,
Houlihau, oh Houlihau, _
Though you must leave it while you run
To get a seat in Washington, .
Back you can go when voting’s done.
Houlihau, oh Houlihan.
You never were cut out to fill,
Houlihan,_oh Houlihau,
The seat that’s occupied by Hill,
Houlihau, Oh Houlihau, ,
And though the voters you may tell
Of Silver Free, you may as well,
Go back to running your hotel, \
Houlihau, oh Houlihan.
The Newtown folks walked up thy back,
Houlihau, oh Houlihan!
They flopped thee over with a whack,
Houlihau, Oh Houlihanl
They did thy hopes of congress chill,
They did thy cup of greatness spill,
And thou must run thy hotel still,
Houlihau, oh Houlihan.
Dorcas.
Of- all the comedies written by Harry
and Edward Paulton, none have
achieved a greater measur e of success,
it is said, than their bright Operatic
comedy, “Dorcas,” which was toured
very successfully both in a financial and
artisticsense'last season and which will
be presented here next Monday even-
ing, 'for one night, at the Norwalk
Opera House, by an aggregation of
Operatic and light comedy celebrites,
we are told, as is rarely assembled for
the presetation of even the most pre-
tentious entertainments of the class.
Call for a Statement.
The comptroller of the currency has
made a call on the National banks for a
report of their condition at the close of
business Tuesday, Oct. 6. .
FIREMLllE NIGHT.
Mr. M. Ratchford Entertains
Firemen at His Cafe on
Main Street,
He Gives the Boys a Fine Spread.
Last night was “firemens night” at
M. Ratchford’s cafe on Main street.
By invitation from the proprietor, the
members of the several fire companies
in this city partook of his hospitality.
‘What he called a luncheon, Which con-
sisted of fricassee chicken, fried oysters
sandwiches of all kinds, hot frank-
furters, hot corn, fried potatoes, etc.
was served with a liberal hand. There
wasaplenty of hot coffee and throat
lubricators, cigars, etc. A colored
quartette sang several songs in a mel-
odious manner, and D. Hartley Weeks
gave a recitation entitled “Mumm’s
Extra Dry, or We-we-wel” Speeches
were made by Chief Engineer Prowitt,
Captains Chinery, Morris and others.
The success of the "collation" was in a
great measure due to Mrs. Ratchford
who superintended the cooking, and
everything was done to an appetizing
nicety. There was an abundance of
food left, even though some of the fire-
men ate as they never ate before. In a
pretty little speech in behalf of the fire-
men Chief Prowitt extended their
thanks and hearty appreciation to Mr.
and Mrs. Ratchford. It was a late
hour when good nights were ex-
changed.
