UNDONE B‘? HIS DOUBLE.‘
He Longed for Oblivion Alto-r Getting the
Desired Description. 9
When you have been complimented
.—or when you think you have been
complimented—once, about the. best
thing to do about it is to let it go at
that and not try“ to make a serial
story out of it. .
Paul lVilstach, of the Columbia The-
atre staff, was taught this at one time
in his life. ‘Mr. lVilstach was enter-
taining a theatricab friend and his
wife—«two persons whose latest ven-
ture had led them into the Southwest.
One day in the course of the visit Mr.
\Vilstach and his masculine guest—
call him Mr. Davis for short—were
conversing about famous \l’estcrn
characters. The talk touched upon
Frank James. .
“I know Frank James very well,"
said Mr. Davis. “He’s quite a fellow,
as you perhaps know.”
“Yes, I rather imagine he must be
considered as one of the stars of
Southwestern life,” said \Vilstach ad-
niiringly. “It must be a, great thing
to be a famous man, even if your
fame is of a peculiar sort. By the
way, I don't. remember ever having
seen a picture of Frank James. What
(loos he look like, anyway?”
“\Vell, do you know,” Mr. Davis re-
plied, “I don’t believe I ever sawtone
man who resembled another so closely
as you yourself resemble him. I have
noticed it frequently, and have in-
tended to speak to you about it.”
Mr. \Vilstach was delighted. To be
the double of a man known probably
all over the continent was some distinc-
tion.
But he could not be content to rest
in his delight. He must press thc_limit
of it. He wanted other people tc
know about it. For of what use was
it to look like a. famed character un-
less the fact was generally known”:
There was to be a theatre party of
friends of the “lilstachs and Davises
that night, and before the party had
reached their boxes. the proud Mr.
Wilstach had succeeded in conveying
the story of his resemblance to all the
members with the exception of Mrs.
Davis, wife of the man who had orig-
inally told him of it. “’atching his
chance when he was sure of attention
of all of his friends, Wilstach said.
"011, Mrs. Davis, you know Frank
James, the eminent Western ex-bandit,
rathér well, do you not?" Mrs. Davis
conceded that she did.
“Tell me what sort of a looking
man he is. \Vhom would you say he
resembles?”
“011,” said Mrs. Davis, carelessly, “I
should say like almost any old clod-
hopping-looking farmer—one of the
kind, you know, who patronizes the
gold brick industry and blows out the
gas.”
The curtain went up on the next act
then, and Mr. “Vilstucli sat in silent
and depressed pain, and no one in all
that box had a tender word of sympa-
thy for§;liim.-—Chicago Record.

Eleni MILL TAX LAID
Au adjourned annual meeting .of the
City of Norwalk was held at tquown
Home last evening, which was not
lirgely attended. ‘
The room was as chilly as a butcher
market refrigerator, and was lighted
by not to exceed half a dozen kerosene
lamps, which sputtered and flickered as
though charged with a poor quality of
oil and as if ashamed of having attempt-
ed to shed light arid warmth to a puls-
lic building that is a disgrace to the
town that permits it to exist.
It, the building, has done great ser-
vice in the past, and it, shows it. At
the present time it is hardly fit for
tramps to rest in.
Notwithstanding the unpleasant sur-
roundings, Mayor Wheeler boldly
stepped to the front and called the
meeting to order, at the same time sug-
gesting that those present keep their
hats on, a precautionary suggestion
that was fully appreciated by tho:e
present. . -
The call for the meeting was read by
the clerk, which included.
1. To appropriate from the city
treasury such money as may be neces-
sary lor the use of each of the depart-
ments of said city for the ensuing fiscal
year. ’
2. To lay a tax upon the ralable as-
sessment list last couipletel, to at
amount sufficient to meet and provide
for said appropriations so to be made
3. To hear reports of city ofi‘icials;
and to transact any other business that
may properly be considered at said
meeting.
Also to make the riqeiisite appropria-
tions for the several departments con-
nected with the city government.
The reports of the city clerk, city
treasurer and the water commissioners
were read, all of which were accepted
and appear in another column in detail.
' Appropriationswere made for the sev-
eral departments as follows:
189? 1896
Finance, . 313.500 $12,500l
Administrative, 4, 7.00 4,000
Police, 4, 405 .4, 465
Sewer, 1,500 1,200
Highways, 4,000 4,000
Lights. 7,500 6,900
Fire, 3,700 2,000
All of the appropriations were unani-
mously passed,and elicited little discus-
sion. The increase in the lights was
satisfactorily explained by Councilman
Tristram by his stating that it was pro-
pOml to place street lights that had
be .. petitioned for and were needed.
The excesn over the appropriation of
last- ear in the fire department was ac-
counted for by Councilman Chinery
who said that it included the purchase
of a new truck and 500 feet of new-hose.
He stated that the regular appropria-
tion for the past twenty years had been
only $2,000. an appropriation establish-
ed when the department was without a
a fire alarm and without modern appur-
tenances for fighting fire.
He said that it was proposed to buy
a new hook and ladder truck which led
“Captain Ike” Selleck to ask,
“What do you propose doing with the
old truck ?”
To which query, Chiuery caused a
hearty laugh by answering,
“Put it up for an old relic.” '
Chief Engineer Prowitt was recog-
nized by the chair. Be prefaced his
remarks with a assertion that the do
parlmeubhud been offered $50 for the
old truck to be used for exhibition pur-.
poses. He said that he had previously
asked for a new truck for the depart
ment and from time to time had been
“put off” with a promise that it would
be purchased. He said that in all
other respects the apparatus of the de-
partment was fairly close up to date.
He continued by saying that the truck
was an “old thing” when he took com-
mand of the department twenty years
.320, and that the truck was an antiqua-
ted affair. He also called attention to
the fact that a long time ago the city
voted to purchase 4,000 feet of hose.
only a portion of which had been pur-
chased. He said that fault had been
found that the steamer was not run out
to the fire on Spring Hill early Monday
morning, but there was not enough
hose to reach the fire with the steamer
at the foot of the hill.
Then the important matter of, the
laying of a tax came up. A resolution
was presented that a tax of eight mills
be laid, payable on July 1st, 1897.
The question was asked as to the
total of the grand list, which was an-
" covered by clerk Lockwood stating it to
be something over $5,100,000.
A. El. Camp moved to amend by
making the tax payable July 15th. Ex-
burgess McMullen then brought down
the house with a “What difference will
it make when it is payable, won’t we
have plenty of gold then ?” . '
The resolution as amended Was passed
and the meeting adjourned.

That is the Way They 00 Things in Nor-

Mr. C. A. Mullings, 35 Van Zandt
Ave., East Norwalk, says: “Both my
son and myself have been bothered
with catarrh,‘ it troubling us verv much
alike; the head being badly stufi’ed up,
while the matter dropping into the
throat caused continual coughing. I
procured a bottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, in South
Norwalk, and we began using it. We
didn’t have to wait long to learn its
value. it relieved at once. My head
and throat are now much clearer than
they have been for some time. I will
gladly recommend the medicine to any-
one who is sufi'ering with catarrh.”
California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for the treatment of the mu-
cous membrane. It alloys the inflam-
mation, checks the disease, and arrests
and repairs the decay of this delicate
lining. The ravages of catarrh may be
increased by impure blood, but purify-
ing the blood will neither cure catarrh,
relievdhay fever, nor clean and purify
the nasal passages after a cold; while no
case of catarrh, even if the patient has
impure blood,tails to yield to California
Catarrh Cure.
In the case of a cold the treatment
may be begun as early as possible, but
should be continued till the last trace
has disappeared.
in "mail catarrh the directions on
v-cb booile have only to be followed
lltl a cure is effected, then, with care
oieuch cold, one may be free from.
chronic catarrh forever.
Catarrh of the stomach presupposes
nasal catarrh, and is cured In the some
wav.
In the case of hay fever, the earlier
the treatment is begun the better, but
used at any time relief will be obtained
and persistence will result in a cure.
California Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers; 50 cents, three times as much

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the coutry than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &

tional cure on the market. It is taken

HE Tcex Hos COUNSEL’SJDVICH
it “’as Good Advice. Too, Considering the
fi Lawyer’s Inexperience.
’ It is told of an Indiana judge that
shortly after his admission to th bar
many years ago he was loitering u out
a country courthouse when a presid-
ing judge suddenly summoned him to
appear in court, and appointed him
counsel for a prisoner about to be
tried for stealing a horse.
“But, your Honor,” he demurred,
“this is a charge which may result in
sending the prisoner to the peniten-
tiary if the case goes against him, and
I do not like to undertake the responsi-
bility of his defence.”
“Nonsense,” exclaimed the Court,
“the case is not at all complicated, and.
I am sure you will handle it in a man-
ner which will conserve all your cli-
ent‘s interest."
“I have had no chance, your Honor,
to acquaint myself with the facts in
this case, and if the trial must proceed
at once I must beg to decline to repre-
sent thedefendant,” insisted the young
attorney.
“Your duty in the premises is clear,”
continued the Court. “I will allow you
sufficient time to consult with your cli-
ent and map out your line of defence.
You may retire with the prisoner into
my private room for consultation.
Thirty minutes will give you ample
time. Go into that room; have the
prisoner state his case fully to you; im-
agine yourself in his place, and ad-
vise him to do just whatyou yourself
would do under the circumstances.”
“And if I do this will the court hold
me blameless for whatever may re-
sult?" asked the attorney.
"Certainly, sir,” replied the judge.
The lawyer and his client retired for
consultation. At the end of thirty min-
utes the former came out of the pri-
vate room and said: "Your Honor, we,
are now ready to proceed.”
"Where is your client?” inquired the
Court.
“I do not know, may the Conrt
please," replied the counsel.
A bailiff ran into the consultation-
room. A window twelve feet from the
ground was open, and there were two
hocl marks in the soft earth outside:—

Go Up One.
The sub-committe of a school, situ-
ated not a thousand yards l‘rom the
city, were examining a class in a
country school.
One of the members undertook to
sharpen up their wits by IlI'ODOEAEEli-
ing the folowing question:
“If I had a mince-pic, {11le should
give two-twelfths to John. toro—
twelfths to Isaac, two-twelfths to
Harry, and should take. half of the
pie myself, what would there be left?"
There was a profound study among
the boys; but finally One lad held up
his hand. '

Easily Had.
Bankers are already looked upon as
acute men, not easily overreached,-but
the following story shows that they ‘
may sometimes be o-utwitted when
least suspecting a defeat.
A poor Irishman one day went to the
office of an Irish bank and asked for
change in gold for fourteen £1 Bank of
Ireland notes. The cashier at once re-
plied that the Cavan Bank only cashed
its own notes.
“Then would ye gie me Cavan notes
for these?” asked the countryman in
his simple way. '
"Certainly,” said the cashier, hand-
ing the fourteen notes as desired.
The Irishman took the Gavan notes,
but immediately returned them to the
official, saying:
"\Vould ye gie me gold for these,
sir.“ And the cashier, caught in his
own trap, was obliged to part with the
money—From Answers.
It \Vas Her Last Cigar.
Some time ago Olga Nethersole.
wishing to give realism to a rehearsal
of Carmen, insisted in spite of a pro-
test from her stage manager, on smok—
ing a cigar.
“As the author said Carmen was to
smoke a. cigar, that is what Carmen
is going to do,” declared Miss Nether-
sole. -
The property man said nothing, but
handed her a big, black Bock.
The actress lighted it, took a puff,
coughed‘took 'a second putt.
Her face grew pale.
XVith determination she puffed the
third time. But then the cigar was
dropped, and she fled to her dressing
room.
There was__no more rehearsing that
day.
