WEEKLY N‘ORWALKr- GAZET Tit. 4°
South , Norwalk.) ' "

AGAINST—HIE LAW.

Pasting Labels on Silver Dol-
lars Miist Stop.

 

Solicitor of the Treasury So Decides.

Some weeks ago the proprietors of
the Norwalk Boston Store and the

. South Norwalk Hardware company,

purchased the exclusive right for their
respective cities to use a label which
was to be pasted on a silver dollar, and
which label notified the holder that by
returning the coin to the store would
entitle the holder to $1.05 worth of
goods.

The banks and post offices refused to
accept the coins with the label pasted on
it, and the matter was referred to the
GAZETTE to ascertain of the treasury
ofiicials whether the pasting of the label
on the coin was illegal.

A copy of the label was sent to United
States Treasurer D. N. " Morgan at
Washington with 'a statement of the
case and on Wednesday the GAZETTE
was in receipt of a reply from Mr.
Morgan stating that the Solicitor of
Treasury considers that the pasting of
the coins is a violation of Sec. 559
the Revised Statutes. .»

Section 5459 reads as follows: _

Every person who fraudulently, by
any art, way, or means, defaces, muti-
lates, impairs, diminishes, faISifies,
scales, or lightens the gold and silver
ceins which have been, or which may
hereafter be, coined at the mints of the
United States, or any foreign gold or
silver cOins which are by law made cur-
rent or are in actual use and circulation
as money within the United States,
shall be imprisoned not more than twO
years ”and fined not more than two
thousand dollars.

In view of this decision the owners
of the right to use the label will be
obliged to discontinue its use.

The man who pretends to own the

I copyright of the label and who has sold

it in many cities, will now be obliged
to go out of business. It is under-
stood that he is somewhere in the east
disposing of the right to use his label.

Moral Heroes.

To the heroism of Engineer “Joe”
Meehan and his fireman, Harry Chi-
chester, is due the remarkably small
less of life in the wreck of the New
York and Southren Express on the
Pennsylvania line near New Brunswick
Wednesday morning. ,

They might have jumped and saved:
their lives at the expense of those for
which they were responsible. With
sure death ahead, the men clung to
lever and brake, checked the terrific
speed, saved the passengers and died at
their posts. They being littorally
boiled alive by the escaping steam.

 

 

The heroic fireman Henry W.‘ 'Chi-"

cheater, perished beside his chief,
whose hand when rescued, 'still lay close
beside the lever he had reversed in a
vain endeavor to avert the catastrophe.
Both engineer and fireman could have
saved their lives, but neither would
desert his charge. Young Chichester
was a son of the late Henry Ward Chi-
chester, an- old time resident of South
Norwalk and is a near relative of the
East avenue Chichester family.

The Great Boston Store.

’ From week to week, ,the people of
Norwalk and surrounding towns are
amazed at the real and genuine bar-
gains ofi'ered at Norwalk's Great Mer-
cantile Emporium, while “wonderment
guesses” what reductions can be made
possible, in goods for future sales.
Yet, as wiil be seen in the Boston
Store’s new adv. in to-day’s GAZETTE,
the Boston Store beats all its previous
records in a “clearing out sale,” made
necessary by the ear loads of Christmas
goods which must be crowded into that
great hustling, business hive of thrift,
bargains and industry.

A word to the wise buyer is sufficient.
Read the Boston Store adv. and go and
supply your needs at bargains never
heard or thought of before. '

Mrs. Mary Batchellor. 35, a widow,

anum. A child saw her take the poison

were summoned succeeded in saving
her life only with great difficulty.
Despondency, caused by. a loss of
her boarders, is believed to have been
the cause for her act.

A cockfight in which four pairs of
birds took part, took place at
the rear of a saloon on Main street,

A Just Kesp‘in‘g. Game.

Stories of noted gamblers were in
order last night, wlicu.the following
was told of the late Charley Pei-kins:
Charley was playing seven~up with a
friend who knew him very well, and
Charley was not playing the s'quai'est
game iii the world. His friend i'e-
inonstrated with him something as fol-
lows:

“Look here, Charley, you know you
can beat me playing this game ‘shoes.
to place,’ and I don’t mind your win-
ning my money on the square, but you
can win it fast enough without cheat-
ing."

V“I couldn’t cheat you; I don’t know
how. I wouldn’t if I could, and
I couldn’t if I would."

Spades were trumps, and Perkins
was the dealer, when his friend,
reaching across the table suddenly,
grabbed his right hand and. turning it
over, exposed the ace and deuce of
spades, which he was holding out in
his capacious palm.

“There! What do you call that if
you’re not cheating, Charley?”

"‘Did you think I was trying to cheat
you?”

“it looks like you were, doesn’t it?”

“Well, now I_ begin to believe that
you don’t know much about this game.
I thought you knew seven-up pretty
well, but now you don’t seem to know
enough to pound sand.”

“\Vell, I know when I see a. man hold-
ing out, any way."

“I wasn’t holding out, you darn fool;
I was keeping game. Don’t you see?
You’re two and I’m one.”

 

. . The Fitness of Tii‘ings.

“Do you know,” said the man Who
was going to have a tooth pulled, “I
don‘t think ‘dental parlor’ is a good
phrase.” “No?” “Drawing-room woul(
be much better.”

 

High Sounding. I
Busch: “I see they have put a
sounding board at the back of the min-
ister’s pulpit. What do you suppose

that’s for?”

Egbert: “Why, it is to throw out
the sound.”

Bason: “Gracious! If you throw

out the sound there won't be anything
left in the sermon”” . - .
