The undertaking of the affair be- longs to seven ladies of the Guild and through their painstaking alerts the society will not a large sum. It is es- timated that about 500 people were pre- sent. including about twenty couples from Bridgeport. Before the cakewalk there was danc- ing to music furnished.»v Linaweiler's orchestra. Thomas F.

At the Norwalk Minion Monday ev- ening. the mflmonies ran along the line that it was as well to show respect to a person before as after death. In connection with this line of thought Martin Kellogg. who was lead- ing the meeting. told a story of a little girl in Norwalk who lives with her aunt. One day her aunt found a craps veil handing on the door knob. She told the child that she should never do anything like that. for people would think there was somebody dead in the house. In reply the child said people always sent bouquets when people died. and that she wanted those for her auntie sent in while she was alive. so that she could enjoy them before instead of after she was dead MR.

The prospects for the establishment of another industry in Norwalk. through the efforts of the Norwalk Business Men's Association. are very gbod, though nothing at present has been decided upon. The committee from the association has the matter in charge. The chairman, E. S. Adams, is in New York today to close the deal if the concern will accept the offer of the association. , Some weeks ago the representative of a New York manufacturing concern visited The Norwalks on a prospecting trip. with the hopes of securing‘a site for a factory. He was met by Mr. Ad- ams and other members of the associa- tion and conducted about the town. He was favorably impressed with Nor- walk's advantages as a location for his business. He found the trolley lines convenient for operatives resid- ing not only in The Norwalks. but in Weetport and other neighboring towns. He gave the committee to ‘understaud that if the citizens of The Norwalks would give him a factory, with rent free. ior five years he would locate here. The agent said the firm would employ two hundred operatives and that the pay-roll would average 860,000 a year. if the pay-roll failed to reach that average. than the concern would ask for no concessions. The c'ommittee conferred with the Norwalk Savings Society and found that the society would Stop the old Simonds manufacturing plant to suit the demands of the business and make any improvements desired. The agent visited the plant and found it an ideal one for the business. He left Nor- walk giving the local committee to un- derstand that Norwaik was very fav- orable to him. He left references. which have been looked up and found to be highly satisfactory. The business carried on is the man- ufacture of golf and bicycle pants. In the New York factory th re are at pre- sent one hundred and eig ty machines in operation. If the concern should move to Norwalk room for two hun- dred machines is desired. Thisis no sweat shop. says a member of the as- sociation. but a reputable business which will be a material aid to the town and it is to be hoped that tne goncern can be persuaded to locate ere. The matter was fully discussed at a meeting of the Business lion's Aa- sociation last night. it was the gener- ai opinion that the concern meant bus- iness. as it had asked for no money consideration. but seemed desirous of getting out of the city to a place where the conditions for work are better and cheaper. it was suggested at the meeting that if persons having vacant We! would communicate with the assoclav tion it would be a great help in look- thom if any are secured. The matter was left to the commit tee on new industries. as was also the matter of locating the new concern. The committee is composed of E. S. Adams. chairman. K W. Mansfield Ol- iver E Wilson and C. F. Tristram. FISH APLENTY. BUT NO DUCKS. The fishing party composed of Henry Cornell. Thomas Hunt.
