The bids for the construction of the
stone archway on the south side of the

There were six bidders, they being
Toomey Bros. of Guilford; Shipman &
Dailey of New Haven; P. W. Bates, A
Bach and William Lawlor of Norwalk,
and Stevens & Co. of New York.
It is understood that the lowest bid-
der was P. W. Bates and the highest
A. Bach. Objection was made to the
awarding of the contracts by other
bidders on the ground that they had
not “lumped” the work or in other
words had figured for so much percubic
yard of work to be done.
The selectmen decided to reject all
bids. and will now probably take it into
their own hands and award the con-
tract without receiving further bids.
The highest estimate was about $4,
700. .
Now that the evenings are growing
cold, and the mOrnings treacherous
the lady cyclist should remember that
the best way of avoiding chills without
incurring fatigue from too heavy cloth-
ing is to look after the vulnerable points
and otherwise dress with reasonable
lightness. When cycling in a coat
which leaves a V shaped opening at
the throat—and most coats do—a small
piece of warm flannel should be worn
inside next the chest, to prevent the
striking in of cold winds on an ill pro-
tected and delicate spot. Thin wash-
ing shirts should not be worn without
a jacket, unless there is a sleeved vest
underneath, for the backs of, the arms
are almost the first spots to feel a chill.
Thin summer stockings should be left
off now, and cashmere substituted, the
w1ists and ankles belng especially sus-
ceptible to cold.
The w1ists can of course, be kept
warm by long wristed gloves. If these
precautions are taken heavy jackets
and thick shirts are quite unnecessary
even on raw evenings, such as we may
expect from this date onwards.
Before the Criminal Court of Com-
mon Pleas in Bridgeport, Wednesday,
Judge Walsh presiding, Alois Koehler
,of South Norwalk was arr ainged
charged with selling liquor in the town
of New Canaan contrary to law. His
was the first trial of the term and Koch-
ler will have good reason to remember
the day and date.
Koehler was arrested and tried in
New Canaan. He was found guilty and
fined $25 and costs from which decision
his attorney, George A. Honnecker,
took an appeal. 4
When the case appeared before Judge
Walsh and jury Attorney Honnecker
had secured the services of Attorney
Hall of Bridgeport to assist him in
Koehler’s defense. Their labors were
in vain, however, as the jury found
h1m guilty without hesitation.
Judge Walsh imposed a fine of $25
and costs, taking into consideration
that by the finding Koehler’s license
was revoked and his bonds forfeited.
The arguments in the case occupied
the afternoon. Attorneys Lockwood of
Norwalk and Light presenting the
state’s case. A partially filled bottle
of beer alleged to have been purchased
from Koehler formed a part of the evi-
dence of the state.
Sheriff Doolan, of Bridgeport, on
Tuesday served papers on Commodore
Francis Burritt in a suit to recover $150
damages brought againsthim by Henry
C. Stevenson of Bridgeport, and the
Commodore is summoned to appear be-
fore Justice George Kane in Bridge-
port November 2, to answer to the suit.
On August 21, 1897, Sheriff Doolan
came to Norwalk, and going to the
Fair Grounds where the Twin City
VVheelmen’s races were taking place,
he arrested Oliver E. Barker, of South
N orwalk, on a body writ.
Commodore Burritt was upon the
track starting the first race at the time.
Immediately after giving the starting
signal he went to the Sheriff and be-
came Barker’s bondsman.
Howard G. Hubbell, of Bridgeport,
upon whose complaint Barker was ur-
rested, secured judgment against him
for $29 and costs, amounting to $43.85.
Barker has never paid the judgment,
and Mr. Hubbell assigned the claim to
H. C. Stevenson.
The latter now brings suit against
Commodore Burritt as Barker’s bonds-
man, and asks damages of $150.
A dwelling house belonging to John
Thomas located on the Roxbury road a
short distance above Stamford hall was
burnt to the ground Tuesday evening.
The fire was first discovered by a young
man living in the neighborhood and he
notified a number of men who live in
the vicinity. A bucket brigade was
formed but the fire had too much head-
way to be extinguished and they direc-
ted their attention to the new dwelling
which Mr. Thomas is building within a
few feet of the other house. This
building they succeeded in saving from
any damage with the exception of be-
ing somewhat scorched.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
.but, it is supposed to have been the
work of incendiaries as no family has
occupied the house during the past
week. Mr. Murray 3. coazhman resid-
ed there until about two weeks ago
when he removed to New York. The
Only person living on the place is an
old man who is working on the new
building and he resided in an outhouse.
He was awakened while the dwelling
was burning and ‘he therefore could
not have anything to do with the ori-
gin of the fire. The house was well
furnished and very little of the furni-
ture was saved. The damage is esti-
mated $800 and the building was'in-
sured for $500.

OBITUARY.
CHARLES SEYMOUR LOCKWOOD.
Charles Seymour Lockwood, one of
the oldest and best known merchant
tailors in town, died at his home on
East avenue, shortly after 4 o’clock
yesterday afternoon in the 73d year of
his age.
The deceased had been in business
in Norwalk for nearly if not quite half
a century, and enjoyed the proud dis-
tinction of being a man whom all re-
spected and liked.
He never sought 'public office, and
always refused proffer-s of public pref-
erence. A man among men, always, he
early won the esteem of all. Surely
Norwalk loses an upright and con-
scientious christian citizen.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Mrs. Emily B. Matthews.

BRANDY FARMERS.
A Paying Busint'ss Iur Peasants “110 01-
ten Become Wealthy There” om.
The brandy farmers of Charente are
a. distinct class. Every one of them,
even if he owns a patch of no more
than six or seven acres, has his own
still and manufactures his own spirits.
Most of the stills which I saw were
mere shantics of the most primitive
type, like High land bothies or the rude
huts in which illicit “potheen” used
to be, and I dare say even now is, man-
ufactured in some wild parts of Ire-
land. The apparatus is of the simplest
kind—just a boiler, with receiver and
the “worm” or serpentine, a mere tube
thrust into a big cylinder of cold wa-
ter. There are usually two of these
humble stills in operation, and wood
is generally used as fuel. When the
farmer commences making his brandy
he continues working his stills day and
night until he has converted all his
wine into spirit. The brandy at this
stage is perfectly colorless, and con-
' tains the whole of the essential oil,
which subsequently has to be removed
by a drastic process of filtration. This,
however, the farmer leaves to the mer-
chant to whom he brings his brandy
for sale.
Many of these brandy farmers are
very wealthy. I was told of one worth
£100,000, another £80,000, a third
£60,000, and a ’considerable number
with £30,000 and £20,000 apiece—
sums which figure out magnificently in
francs. But to look at them you would
never guess that they possess as many
pence as they have pounds. For, how-
ever rich they may be, they still re-
tain the dress and style of peas-ants.
They make no attempt to ape the man-
ners and fashions of those above them.
Each generation is content to live as
its predecessor did—a frugal, hard-
working life, with its occasional holl—
days and junketings, and the exercise
of that thrift which is a French peas-
ant’s highest pleasure—Chamber’s
Journal. ‘
TOY MAKING.
America Makes Playthings by BIaclIlnery,
and Germany by Band.
7 A great many toys are now made in
this country, including many mechani-
cal devices. Many toys are still im-
ported. Such things as woolly sheep
and dogs. now as ‘highly prized by
children as ever, come from Germany,
as do the skin-covered horses. They
could be made here, but they can be
produced cheaper abroad. .
As a rule, whatever can be made by
machinery is made here, while toys
made by hand are mostly imported.
The minute a thing is brought within
the reach of machinery, American
manufacturers can pay their higher
prices for labor and still beat the
world. With the low prices of labor in
foreign countries, hand-made produc-
tions can be made cheaper in them.
As a result of this there are toy§ of
some kinds which in their completed
state are partly American and partly
foreign. Among these are toy vehicles
with horses attached. The vehicles
and everything in and about them may
be the product of American machinery,
while the horse standing between the
shafts may be from Germany.—New
York Sun.
NO FAKIRS NEED APPLY.
.Mnnagers Compelled In Mexico to Live Up
to Their Promises.
One Mexican trait that might be
profitably imitated by Americans
their uncompromising antagonism
toward amusement fakirs. In that
country a showman must do what he
promises to or go to jail, if a circus
management does not faithfully
reproduce all the features glow-
ingly depicted on the show
bills, the manager finds him-
self in the hands of the officers after
the show is over. The result is that
circuses and other amusement enter-
prises visiting that country have an
entirely distinct set of show bills made
and it goes without saying that they
are much more modest than are those
displayed on this side of the Rio
Grande.

never wash nor shave nor cut their
nails or hair, never change their
clothes nor clean their houses. They
also leave the flesh to its own wicked

' WHAT ROYALTY ENDURES.
Discmnfm-ts That Court Etiquette Ims
posed on the Czar and His Suite.
Those who imagine that all is couleuI
de rose for crowned heads little know
the immense inconveniences and dis-
comforts with which they are frequent-
ly obliged to put up by very reason
of their exalted position. No more
striking demonstration of this could
well be found than is to be met with
in the" recital of the Russian Imperial
family’s trials at the time of the visit
to Balmoral. The Emperor and the
Empress, with the little Grand-duchess
Olga, who was then about eight months
old, left Denmark in the imperial yacht
Standart, crossed the German Ocean
and ran up the River Dee, coming to
anchor about seventeen miles from the
castle. They were met by the Prince
of Wales, and his suite. A drizzling
rain was falling as the imperial party
disembarked, and hardly had they tak-
en their places in the landaus—the Em~
press in the most dainty of white, lace-
trimmed gowns, and the Emperor and
his suit in their magnificent gold cm-
broidered uniforms—when an order
was given for the tops of the carriages
to be thrown open, and despite the
steady downpour into which the drizzle
had now turned, the imperial cortege
set forth in this manner. After some
slight protest on the Empress’ part
Her Majesty raised an umbrella, as did
also the lady—in-waiting, who had the
bare of baby Olga; and so, between al-
ternations of drizzle and pouring rain
the seventeen miles were accomplished
gaping crowds lining the entire way to
witness this most uncomfortable pas-
sage of royalty.
There was, however, consolation in
the thought that, once the castle was
attained, their trouble would be over.
Vain hope! At the castle entrance
stood a Court Chamberlain, who as
each carriage drove up informed its oc
cupgnts that Her Majesty requested the
immediate attendance of its Occupants
in the great drawing room; and, all
drenched as they were from the wa-
tery drive, they passed into the Queen’s
presence, the little Grand-duchess alone
being carried at once to her apart-
ment.

ALASKA’S MAGIC LAKE.
The Water is Warm in Winter and Cold
in Summer—A Mecca. for Fish.
The richly laden places of the Klon-
dyke are by no means the only things
marvellous about Alaska.
There is.a. lake up there, not very far
from Dawson City, which has been
christened Lake Selawik by its dis-
coverer, Father Tossi, a. missionary
among the native Alaskan, which be-
sides being interesting to the wonder
lovers who are staying at home, will
unquestionably prove a. wonderful
blessing during the coming Winter to
the thousands of gold-seeking Ameri<
cans who have never passed an eight-
months Winter amidst real ice and
snow.
It is generally supposed that every-
thing within the Arctic circle freezes
up seven or eight months in the year.
that the rivers and lakes are com.
pletely frozen over, and that the fishes
die ofi or seek other waters. But none
of these things is true of Lake Selawik.
This lake is sixty miles long and
about fifteen miles in width. It has
no evident communication with the
ocean, yet when the ocean is at its
high tide on the shores of Alaska,
up goes the water of Lake Selawik,
and when the tide of the ocean goes
out, down comes the height of the
waters of the lake.
Notwithstanding this sympathy with
ocean waters, the water of Lake Sela-
wik is fresh at all times, and it tastes
like the sparkling spring water on the
farm. But the most remarkable
reature of this lake is the fact that it
never freezes over in the coldest
weather, and the colder the atmosphere
in its neighborhood becomes, the
warmer its waters seem to become.
For this reason, Lake Selawik be‘
comes a kind of Mecca in Winter time
for all kinds of fishes and water ani-
mals which are found in the various
rivers that pour into the lake during
Summer. The waters of the lake
swarm with fish, and the improvldent
gold seeker from the United States.

General Robertson tells a story of

which is new to me, and as the old
hero himself told it to General Robert—
son it may be new to you as well. It
happened one time when General But-

tion had been arranged in his honor,
and the largest hall in town was en-
gaged to hold it in. The place was
lavishly decorated, and one white mus- _
lin banner especially attracted the
general’s attention. On it was painted
in large black letters:
“General Benjamin F. Butler,
hero of Five Forks.”
