WEEKLY'NUHWAEk;G§zari LOCAL NEWS. A pretty home wedding took plaCe at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis Kellogg, 4 Center avenue, yesterday afternoon, when their daughter Miss Maud Louise was married to George. Allen Bell of Buffalo. The house was ' profusely decorated with daisies and potted palms. The Rev. F. A. Scofield performed the ceremony, which was witnessed only by the relatives and near friends of the couple. The bride who wore a gown of white silk with trimmings 0f chiffon and a veil of tulle was attended by her sister Miss Clara Kellogg as maid of honor, she wearing a gown of white organdie over green silk, both carried bouquets of sweet peas and bride roses. The groom’s best man was Schuyler VVater- bury, and the usher was Fred S. Am- bler. After the ceremony the happy couple received the congratulations of their friends standing under a huge bell of daisies. Miss Fannetta Rose presided at the piano and rendered Mendelsohn’s and Lohengrin’s wedding marches. The presents were pretty and num- erous consisting mostly of silver and cut glass. When the newly married pair were‘ ready to departa Street Railway car decked with flags and flowers was in waiting, to convey the bridal party to the South Norwalk depot. Rice was showered with no sparing hand all the way down and was abated only when the train drew away from the station. Mr. and Mrs. Bell will make a two week’s trip through New York state stopping at Albany, Saratoga and N i- agara and from there to the home of the groom in Buffalo, where they will per- manently reside. The Stamford municipal muddle of the past several weeks is about to be cleared up as Mayor Bohannan decided yesterday that he should not force the issue as to whether Judge -Downs was legally judge and corporation counsel. “The rule or ruin” policy which the Democrats have termed the action of the Republican councilmen in the mat- ter has so seriously interfered with public business as to occasion a very serious state of affairs. Mayor Bohannon has decided that it would be dangerous to further prolong it as matters have reached such a crisis that, owing to the withdrawal of the Republican councilmen at the different meetings, all business of the city gov- ernment was at a standstill. Private individuals offered personal security to the city treasurer as bills hiid not been“ approved to pay the city laborers. At a consultation of the councilmen held to-day it was decided to call a special meeting of the council .either to-night or to-morrow evening, when matters that have been long pending will probably be cleared up. Ex-Mayor Scofield and Commodore James Smith called on City Treasurer Riker yesterday and offered their per- sonal securities that the treasurer might be able to pay off the'city labor- ers and Councilman Frank Hoyt hand- ed to the chief of the fire department a check of $900, so that members of the department might be paid July 1. With the solution of the matter it will be un- necessary for the city officials to be ob- liged to accept these offers. The town government of Darien has another of the little rows which serve to vary the monotony of life in that town. The selectmen are at logger- heads, and school teachers and men who work upon the roads are waiting for their wages. Early in the year Albert H. Scofield, a member of the Board of Relief, noti- fied T. W. Austin that a note held by the latter to secure money borrowed by the'town would be placed upon the tax list. In consultation with a lawyer it was found that the amount was taxable sure enough. Austin insisted that all holders of town notes should be treated alike. First Selectman Mackey fur- nished to the Board of Relief a list of them, but notices were not served upon the parties. Selectmen Waterbury and Raymond have been acting in opposition to Selectman Mackey in various town mat- ters. They found that a Stamford bank would assume all the town notes at 4:} per cent. interest. The rate paid to local holders is 5 per cent, and they agreed to accept the lower rate. The selectmen, however, concluded to trans- fer the obligations to the Stamford bank. They began operations by noti- fying Dr. W. F. French that a check for $2,000 awaited him in the Town Clerk’s office, and that interest on his loan would cease. It being claimed that this notice was- not legal, Dr. French ignored it. At a recent meeting of the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Mackey refused to sign orderufor the transfer of the loans. This made Selectmen Waterbury and Raymond angry. They went to the bank and tried to negotiate a loan of $1,000 to pay Mrs. David Waterbury and Mrs. Charles Webb. two other noteholders. The bank naturally re- fused to do business without the signa- ture of Selectman Mackey, who is town agent. At the last meeting Waterbury and Raymond refused to sign town or- ders unless Mackey agreed to their propositmns with regard to town loans. Mackay said he was not going to be ; coerced into doing what he did not be- lieve was proper, and the meeting broke up. The annual ”West-port ten mile handi- cap bicycle road race occurred yester- day, but there were not as many pres- ent as on former years, nor was there as much enthusiasm. A mistake was also made in the distance and the wheelmen rode seven and three-quarter miles instead of the usual ten. George Darrow was referee, C. Ford Seeley starter and George H. Allen acted as announcer. There was to have been a local race and a race between colored men, but owing to a lack of entries these did not take place. The men crossed the line at the finish as follows: Walter Jennings, Alpha; 22:42 Wm. H. Weed, East Nor-walk; 22:431-2 August Knor, Cranbury; 22:57 H. Batchelder, New Haven; 23:14 Carl VVuerz, Darien; 23:32 R. S. Curtis, East Norwalk: 23:38 H. S. Roberts, East Norwalk; 23:39 W. H. Northrop,New Milford; 24:07 W. Stewart, Saugatuck; 24:08 J. H. Houlihan, E. Norwalk; 24:10 Frank Walsh, Saugatuck; 24:15 W. S. Persons, So. N orwalk; 21:22 F. S. Mills, Southport; 24:27 There were six prizes and a time prize. Walter Jennings of the Alpha club crossed the line first and won the first prize, a gold watch, and W. S. Persons on an Orient won the time prize, a pair of opera glasses, going over the course in 21:22. The Epworth League of the First Methodist church held a Lemon social and Musical entertainment in Red Men’s hall on TVashingt‘on street,South Nor-walk, last night. Although it has been called a lemon social it by no means implys that nothing but lemon flavors could be procured. On the con- trary cakes of all kinds, creams and ices of all flavors and lemonade were in abundance. The tables were all beauti- fully decorated with flowers, daisies being the most prominent, and the pretty waitresses added considerably to the scene. The musical part of the evening's program consisted of a piano solo, by Mrs. James Golden; a recita- tion, selected,by Mrs. Milo H. Parsons; Tenor solo, by Charles A. Moore; Barr jo selections, by Miss Eva Collins; reci- tation, Charles Greenwood, and selec- tions on the Mandolin and guitar by Frank Leone. The proceeds will go toward paying the League’s subscrip- tion to the new church fund. Among those from Norwalk and South Norwalk who have gone to San Francisco to attend the sixteenth an- nual convention of the Christian En- deavor society are, Miss Charlotte La- mont, Mrs. M. E. Smith, Mrs. C. S. ‘Trowbridge, J. Wallace Punzelt, Mrs. M. E. TVaterbury,l\Irs. John H. Ferris, Miss Eva Ferris, Mrs. S. M. Upson, William C. Foote, Mrs. F. R. Coulter, Dr. and Mrs. C. F.

Curtis, Fletcher Van Hoosear, Chester and \Yillis Selleck. The County Commissioners took in $43,725 for liquor license during the month of June, of which $2,185 was turned into the county treasury. The balance was distributed to the towns as follows: Norwalk, $180.50; Bridge- port, 39,083; Greenwich, $427.50; Dan- bury, $935.75; Stamford, $541.50; Strat- ford, $190.50; Huntington, $180.50. Up to yesterday the Commissioners had granted 253 licenses in Bridgeport. The total amount of money turned into the Bridgeport city treasury during the two months, May and June, was $122,841. The fiscal year of the county ended yesterday. The Stamford friends of Dr. J. M. Hanway, who recently moved from this city to Norwalk, are greatly disturbed over the strange disappearance of the doctor. Mr. Hauway’s Norwalk office was closed about a week or so ago, and when the doctor was last seen he was in a despou ent mood. His occasional visits to his Stamford friends ceased abruptly, and when it was subsequently learned by them that he had disap- peared from Norwalk they were com- pletely mystified and a little alarmed. The doctor has been missing now for several days, it is said—Advocate. George Siddons, the well known Bridgeport boxer, is training at Cap- tain Bond’s place in Stratford for his match with Lew Webster of Water- bury, formerly of South Norwalk. The go is to be to a finish and will be pulled off in the course of two weeks some- where in the state. For some time the admirers of the two men have been try- ing to get on such a match and they have finally succeeded. The match will be in private for a purse. Manager Hoyt received the result of the freshmen race at Pough keepsie within a. few minutes after the finish last evening, and the signal flags were displayed on the GAZETTE. flag staff announcing Cornell first, Columbia second and Pennsylvania third. The Mayotta will leave for the Thime ble Islands on Thursday next when Captain Osborn will have as his guests Judge and Mrs. H. Whitmore Gregory and Miss Miller. While at the Islands the party will. stay with ex-Senator Asa. Smith. ‘ i A CHINESE EMPRESS. SHE DIED ON ACCOUNT OF THE TREATMENT OF HER SISTER. The Dowager Ga'ined the Confidence oI the Emperor in Preference to fill Mother—He Gave Her Greater Author- ity “hicli'Slie Used without llIercy. From time‘immemorial the possibil‘ Ity or impossibility of death from heartbreak has been mooted by physi- cians. A story that comes from the far east. and purports to give the first true account of the late Chinese em- press, the reigning emperor’s mother, may be cited as evidence upon the question. The empress mother and the empress dowagcr were sisters, whose relations were anything but friendly, as each was striving to gain the favor of the young emperor and play the part 01 the power behind the throne. Disa- greements were so frequent that the dowziger finally withdrew to a placc called Echo Park, some distance from Pekin. The young emperor began to pay her frequent visits, and to stay for days, consulting her on the affairs 01 state. This was a direct insult to the on)- press mother, who, determining to pm a stop to the invasion of her rights, called at the park and announced he] determination in plain terms. The bat- tle that ensued was a royal one, in- deed, in which the dow-ager came out victor, as she had been invested by the young emperor with privileges thal gave her personal authority over he: rival. This authority she.used Without mercy. Among, the privileges granted her was the right to the imperial sedan chair, which has as much honor at. tached to it as the yellow jacket of the mandarin. The empress mother had traveled from Pekiu in this convey- auce, but she returned in a common cart, for the dowager had issued an order depriving her of the chair. This indignity was too great to be borne. Next morning the outraged and insulted woman was dead—so say the people of Pekin—of rage and humilia- tion. For thirty-five days her remains lay in state in the imperial palace, and then the body was taken to Haiten, to be laid by the side of her husband. II is said that the grief of the young em- peror was so great that he visited his mother‘s chamber each day while her body remained there. He has since treated the d‘owuger empress with marked indifference—Puritan. Tornado Drills in Kansas. W'e have fire drills in our public schools in the East, and very efiective drills they have proved in more than one case of emergency. In Kansas they have no fire drills. or, if they have, we have still to hear of it. Oui there tornados are more to be dreaded than fires, and the school children are now being trained in tornado drills. When tornados strike a Kansas town everybody makes at once for prairies. It is the only way to escape death from flying doors and chimneys, falling trees and toppling buildings. School child- ren are trained to know this from the cradle, and on these occasions rush pell mell for the nearest bit of clear prairie attainable. But many children have been maimed and even killed in these terrible storms. So they have started a movement throughout the State to have tornado caves built under the school houses large enough to accommodate all the children while the blow lasts. And here comes in the tornado drill, which is already being put in practice. It is very much like our own fire drill. The teacher sounds the alarm on the piano and the children all stand up. Then the march is played, and out they go in good order, down the stairs and into the cave. Then let the winds blow! Let the entire building fall in ruins! The child. ten are safe and have only to be dug , out. ______.______ The Typical DIirror. A new invention for a toilet table, whereby we may see ourselves as others see us, will doubtless be great 1y appreciated by both men and wo- men. It is on the principle of the triptych mirror, but the glasses are arranged on long, movable arms, and on swivels at the top, so that they may be turned and moved in any di rection—a most convenient arrange ment, whereby a fashionable woman I may watch her maid arranging he] hair on the sides as well as in front while she is seated in front of he) dressing table.

Of all the French institutions, per haps only one of any national import- ance is a monument to fie consulate. That one is the Legi ,of Honor, which Napoleon organized while that most transitional of governments was in existence. It appealed strongly to French instincts, has survived all the changes through which France has passed since that time, and its bit of red ribbon is still considered a suffi- cient reward for most important ser- vices to the state. Napoleon Ill be- stowed the decoration so widely and with so little regard for the character of the men whom he made Chevaliers that for a while the order fell into some disrepute. Toward the close of that unfortunate monarch’s reign there were about 25,000 civil members, be- sides all those who had been decorated as soldiers. To restore the prestige of the order an act was passed in 1872 providing that only one new Chevalier should be nominated for every two va- cancies caused by death. The efiect has been to reduce the number of civil knights to 10,000, but recent ministries have found the awarding of the few favors of this sort at their disposition created for them vastly more enemies than friends. The Meline cabinet has solved the difficulty for itself, at least, by introducing and securing the pass age of an act repealing the law of 1872, and substituting for it one fixing the number of civil knights perma- nently at 12,000. There was a long de- bate in the chamber of deputies on this bill, and the socialists opposed it fiercely, but the measure finally passed by a vote of 344 to 124.—New York Times. GREELEY’S WRITING. Two Roosters Imitated His Clliro;raphy and the Old Compositor Set It. There was only on printer who could read Greeley’s writing well enough to put it in type. He used to boast that he could read the great editor’s won- drous scrawl a mile away. One night the boys in the New York Tribune compo-sing room “put up a job” on the old man. roosters, made them walk around on a newly inked form, and then run all over ten sheets of copy paper. The foreman wrote over it, in Greeley’s well-known scrawl, “The Plain Duty of Congress,” and put it on old man Lawton’s hook. I think his name was Lawton, but if it was not it does not matter much. The old printer picked it up, swore a little, remarked that they had to shove the stud on the old man as us- ual, adjusted his spectacles and began sticking type. The other printer's watched him for a few minutes, but beyond amuttered oath or two he gave no sign. Lawton went on setting type until about half way through the “copy.” Then he was stuck. He took the copy over to the fore- man and asked: . “Jack, what is that word?" "I don’t know,” replied the foreman. “You know I could never read that stuff.” \ Lawton took the sheet down to Greeley and pointed out to him a par- ticularly awful scrawl of the reader's foot, asking What that word was. Greeley locked at it a moment, and replied vith a frown: “ ‘Unconstitutio-nal.’ of course." Lawton went back to the composing room and finished his task with the ut- most sangfroid. ' The old man never knew how the “copy” was produced—Journal of Education. Refurbishlng the Fez. A business in Constantinople, mo- nopolized by the Greeks or Armenians, is the renovation of the fez. This heaa’lgear, which is worn almost uni- versally by the male population, is manufactured in France. It very soon, however, loses its pristine jauntiness, and becomes a limp and dejected af- fair, that gives to its owner a rakish air of imbecility not to be borne. In this condition it becomes necessary to resort to the fez restorer. who prompt- ly adjusts the offending headgear over a heated brass pot, shaped like a flower pot. Over this goes a second conical pot, which is made to revolve, briskly around the lower one by means of two handles. When this is removed the fez is found to have re- gained its youthful appearance and vigor, and is returned to its rightful owner, who stands patiently by.— Leslie’s Magazine. ‘ Advancement. “It's wonderful,” said the man who .5 always earnest. “to see how they :an develop the intellects of the low- er animals.

WHY, SHE BECAME AN ACTRESS. Mrs. Siddons' Mother aWidow, forced ta Keep Lodger-s as a Means of Support. _ Here is an anecdote said to have been related by Mrs. Scott-Siddons her- self many years ago, when a friend asked what had impelled her to go up- on the stage. In the early sixties she was living with her mother, the Wid- ow of an Indian officer, in a' seasidewvili lage. They were very poor, their lodgings were more than humble, and the girl was anxiously wondering how she could contribute to the support of the little family. The problem was a hard one, for in: those days the “sphere” of women was smaller than now. and their opportunities to make money were not numerous. Mean- while her immediate duty was to try to make the shabby rooms pleasant and homelike. While engaged in this task she discovered that an- old chiffonier which stood in one corner of the sitting room had only three legs. The miss- ing fourth member had been replaced by a crumpled-up newspaper, which, judging from its dusty condition, had not been disturbed for many years. Mary Siddons removed the paper, found limit it was a very old copy of the Annual Register, and on glancing over it found a long article detailing the triumph of her greatgrandmotber u some long-forgotten play. The girl I‘ecided that this was a “leading,” and at once resolved to seek fame and for- tune as an actress. Being beautiful and intelligent. she soon obtained a chance to test her histrionic abilities, and won enough of success to raise her mother and herself to what, com- pared With her previous state, seemed almost like wealth—New York Times. A BEAUTY’S FACE ON A BANKNOTE.‘ Mme. Blake, 3 Handsome Actress, Given this Distinction. The proverbial repute for gallantry which the Hungarians have enjoyed through the centuries is being demon- strated with a vengeance these days by the Austro~Hungarian States Bank of Budapest. Its ultra-gallant director has induced the Government to permit the engraving of vignettes of the lead- ing soubrettes and chanteuses of the country on its thousand gulden notes. Director Gustav Kautz is an ardent votary of the histrionic art, and adores the celebrated Hungarian prima denna, Mme. Luise Blaha. Her radiant coun- tenance, which, despite her advancing years, is still ravishingly beautiful, has been selected as the first to be en- graved on the thousand gulden notes of 1897, which have already been issued. There is no doubt that the scheme will increase the circulation of the bank noteS, as all the scions of nobility an} all the dudes and dandies of the Slavic metropolisfiwill be anxious to be able to boast of the possession of one or more of these notes, for Mme. Blaba, who has personified nearly all the great dramatic conceptions of Hungarian playwrights, is perhaps .the most popu- lar woman of the thrifty kingdom.
