considered by the corporation as Presi-
dent Dwight’s successor.

Vale Casino.
The Norwalk Lawn Tennis club has
decided to abandon its present grounds
on the Bishop property at the corner
of Mott and Belden avenues. The
casino and other outbuildings will be
removed. The club will probably dis-
band for lack of interest in club events,
by some of the members. The site is
one that met with more or less favor
some time ago, for the location of a big
hotel.

A Successful Market.
One of the most successful markets
in Norwalk is Buttery’s market on
Water street. The business done here
is something enormous, and the Buttery
brothers are to be congratulated upon
having by faithful and prompt attention
to business built up a trade that is sec-
ond to none in town. Another thing
that has assisted in making this a suc—
cessful market has been the free use
of printer’s ink. The Butterys

fail to let people know it. Their local

John Oliver of Phila. Pa, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful conditfon.
My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite—gradually grow-
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
cians had given me up. Fortunately.
a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bit-
ter;s’ and to my great joy and surprise,
the first bottle made a decideo 1mprove-
ment. I continued their use for three
weeks, and am now a well man. I
know they saved my life and robbed
the grave of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only

AMUSEMENTS.
The Dawn of Freedom.
One of the big melodramatic produc-
tions of the year is given by Paul Gil-
more of the five act drama “The Dawn
of Freedom,” 11. military and naval
spectacle replete with strong situations
and climaxes, but far from being of the
sensational catch penny order. The
play is a work of superior sort, on a
style identified with that of “Shenan-
doah,” “Secret Service,” and the other
strong military melodramas New York
has witnessed. It will be seen for the
first time in this city on Tu; sday even-
ing. Jan. 17. at Hoyt’s Theatre e. Mr.
Gilmore, who will be remembered as
the leading man of Augustus Pitou’s
company for several years, will himself
head the cast, inthc character of An-
tonio Lopez, a Cuban patriot. Others
gor, Ethel Bariington, IdaGlenn, J.H.
Cossar, Eduin Walters. J. B. Cooper
Macy Harlam and H. Rees Davies.
