The ladies having in charge the sup-

Wednesday evening should feel perfect-

the storm the. attendance was not as
large as it would have been had the
weather been more favorable. but the
good things on the different tables. par.
ticularly the Thanksgiving table, caused
all to order liberally. and the result is
sum of $177 in the treasury. One of the
most novel features of the reception was
the appearance of the waitresses in cos-

bewitchingly becoming. The local

The Gazette under the caption of “(Jon-

in its usual ante~diluvian atyle,whicb evi-
dently was written by the some portion
who offered a resolution at the annual
town meeting to remove the office of
seleotnien from their present safe and
pleasant quarters to the more convenient
and commodious (?) Gazeftc building.
which for a “jewel of consistency" sur-
passes anything we have heard of in
modern times. It was through the can’-
nistent action of the selectinsn from this
end of the town that the seleotnions' office
is where it is today. and, on the other
hand, it was a pecuniary incomisfeiwy on
the:part of the Gazette to presume for a
moment that the people of this town
would submit to their unreasonable reo
quest to move the office to their build-
ing, which undoubtedly acc iunts for
their luke-warmnees toward these so-
lectmcn and also their lecture to the
SENTINEL, which we think most. aptly
applim to our aged contemporary.

storm begun in a gradual way. but
within an hour the snow was falling

reached its height. The streets were
nearly'destrtcd after nightfall. for only
necessity would induce people to wade
through the accumulation of several
inches on tho sidewalks. Most all the
passenger trains on the consolidated road
were on time. Some of the freight
trains haulrd off. The Adams express

The “One Man” System of

In order to give our readers an idea
how the new (one man) system of
managing the town aflaire works. we
will mention an instance which came to
our notice only yesterday. It is a family
consisting of two aged persons, and if
we should give their names many would
recognize them as old residents. The
husband has been sick for a number of
years and is incapable of dowg anything
fora livelihood. The wife is seventy-
two yours :nld. and is compelled to go
out washing to sustain herself and hue-
band. This fiiinily have. for some time.

of six dollars per month. While Mr.

lat-ii. One week ago last Monday Mr.
Burr called on this family and gave them
a town order for five dollars worth of
groceries. cutting them down one dollar
per month. Whileiii the house he was
asked by the sick man if he could have
a doctor. and was told by Mr. Burr that
he would send him one. but stmnro to
g“”—-up to yesterday—eight days inter-
vening. no such person as a doctor
had been intlie house. It is a mystery
to us. how it man. after seeing the con-
dition of this family. could have had the
heart to cut down the meagre appropri-
ation of six'ilullurs pcrfinonth. and at the
very time he did it the thermometer
stoudiit least ten degrees below acre.
and if he had looked about the room in
which they were living. he could have
seen rugs stuffed about tho old and (It‘-
lapidtited window sashes and doors in
order to keep out the cold. “'6 are told
by the “ring“ of the borough that this in
economy. Yes. it is economy. and the
town of Norwalk ought to be proud of
it. This family—composed of two old
persons—the husband an invalid; the
wife seventy-two war-v old—compelled
fodo washing. which is the hardest of
work for a woman—receiving from the
town twenty cents per day-cut down to
seventeen cents—a saving of "mu mm
per day. This case. citizens of South Nor~
walk, is in your midst. and is not the
only one. What do you think of it?
We have yet to learn of a single instance
in the upper part of the town where an
allowance has been reduced in order to
“economize." ~

Fire.
Last Thursday afternoon at half past
five o'clock a fire was discovered in the
japan room of the Norwalk Look com-
pany. In less than a minute the fire
was under a good headway. Au alarm
was given by the ringing of the factory
hell. but it being at a time of day when
everyone supposed it was ringing for
the quitting time for the men. it was
some minutes before the city fire de-
partment was on hand. but they did ex-
cellent service when they arrived. In
the mean time a hose was run out from
the Nat-walk Iron Works and another
belonging to the look factory both doing
excellent service. The damage to the
building and stock was about one thou-
sand Milan—covered by insurance.

Taxation of Oyster Ground.
A meeting of the Connecticut Oyster
Growers and Dealers association was
held at the office of the Sea World Tues-
day afternoon last. H J. Lewis of Meri-
den presiding. with Henry C. Rowe as
secretary. There was alargo attendance
of iepresentative nystcruieu from many
towns along the Connecticut shore.
Henry C. Rowe. John Hilton of Ro-
wayton and Henry J. Lewis of Meriden
vvure appointed a committee to present
the views of the association to the com-
nilssinners of shell fisheries and to the
legislature. This committee was also
instructed to procure legislation to pre-
vent the dumping ofinud on oyster beds.
A vote was ordering co lea of the
Sea World sent to the legia attire. A
vote was also passed approving the pro.
posed liiw nuinberinfia l boats and steam.
are engaged in l c oyster business.
Eighteen new members were added to
the association.
Henry C. Rowe. C. W. Hoyt and Jero-
niiali Smith were appointed aoommittee
to draft resolutions embodying the opin-
ions of the association regarding the
taxation of oyster lands. The resolu-
tions. which state that the opinion of
the association is that to tax the crop of
0 stars would mult detrimean . but
at the association makes no ob tion
to a judicious tax on the ground itself,
were adopted unanimously.
The People‘s Cyclopodlu.
Among the many new publications.
we oalltlie attention of our readersto
“The People‘s Cyclopedia of Useful
Knowledge," which is the only Work of
the kind that is up to date. and for
reliable information, (both foreign and
domestic statistics). is superior to anv—
not exec ting the latest editions of the
famous rltannioa or the American edi-
tion of Appleton‘s. We find attached
to this cyclopedia an appendix, which
we consider a world of knowlod in its.
salt—embracing over two $111de
of most useful information. In
their criticisms of new books, the New
York Dail Graphic of last Saturday.
speaks of t iis work as follows:
“An encyclopedia which in itself cou-
talns the good points of all is published
in small com as and sold at a reasona-
ble price is. t erefore. as everybody will
admit after a little reflection. a thing
that is very much needed and something
that is likely to be in demand.
The International Book 01: e and
Publishing 0033a” of New Yor claim
tohave pmdu such a work in their
“Peoples Cyclopedia of Useful Knowl-
edge.‘wlilciis issued in two volumes
of over 1.000 pages each.
The editors aoknowled that they have
made free use of all wor I of the same
character previously published—to have
taken what is best in them; to have in:-
provedwliat was capable of improve-
ment. and to have added where addi-
tion: were called for. At the same time
it is evident. from the concise and oom-
saot nature of the work. that a great
cal of cutting has been done.
The two volumes. however. contain
an amount of information on all sub
jeouofa pular nature walla! is not
tobefoun in any of the standard en-
cyclopedias singly. The eliminating
gmm‘lias been applied mainly in the
hour-am departments. as the number
of titles clearly shows. Nothing that
