\Vork in some of the hat shops is
rather light this week. being delayed
by the non—arrival of the Dunlap block.
The block is out, but it; takes some
time for one block maker to supply the
huge demand of a dozen factories. Why
not put a turning lathe 1n the hat fac-
tory and make your own blocks just
when they are wanted?

A turned wooden hitching post oppo-
site the City Hotel was this morning
adorned with an Easter necktie. It is
not improbable that some belated citi-
zen filled with sympathy 01' something
else, mistook the post for a fellow suf-
fer unable to get home, and puthis own
necktie on it to in a degree keep out
last night’s cold wave.

E. E. Crowe,7who went to Adams,
Mass, Tuesday, to take possession of
the Freeman, returned to South Nor-
walk last evening. He found the busi-
ness in such an unsatisfactory Condi-
tion that he refused to take the oflicc
until some of the irregularities in the
busin ss were 10medied..Tho‘-owners
prmnised to do this, but there is some
doubt about it.
DAILY — NORWALK .- GAZETTE.
Lanier, the man who was reported
as having taken a powerful narcotic at
the Mahackemo Hotel, recently, is re-
ported this morning as having died in
Bridgeport yesterday. The “indignant
landlorc ” questions the truth of the
report. Later—It seems that the cor-
rect name of the subject of this item
was William Somers. He Went from
here to Bridgrport, fell out of a vehicle
and received fatal injuries.
_,,___.._
BROAD RIVER.
The increased sales of the DAILY has
compelled 0111' carrier to put on an
assistant, and the fickleness of our
March weather calls for considerable
fortitude, on the part of the little fel-
lows, to go the rounds on time.
S. B. Wilson intends building a hand-
some summer residence on one of the
many sightly locations, to be found
hereabouts.
James Lycett, always a hustler, is
more than busy just now, at the pot-
tery, being literally over head and ears
in flower-pots, an improved machine
for the manufacture of the same, with
a capacity of 10,000 per day, having re-
cently been put in. No doubt Messrs.
Lycett have been thinking of giving
the DAILY a few local ads. Hence the
boom.
By careful estimate, ithas been found
that over one hundred persons, young
and old, go from Broad River daily to
earn their bread and butter, being
employed either in the Borough, South
Norwalk, 01' out Of town. Although
we do not expect, ever, to be struck
by Presidential lightning, the fact re-
mains, that some of the most successful
men of the country, have either been
born, 01' lived here.
l'VIL TC‘A’.
Louis Verlin has moved into the E.
G. Betts place.
Eli S. Betts has leased his feldspar
mine upon a tonnage royalty, to apar-
ty by the name of Scott. .
Nehemiah Reynolds has sold his farm
on “ Olmstead Hill” to Mr. Frederick
Camp, the owner of an adjoining
quarry.
Learning English, -
A distinguished visitor who was con-
ducted about the Bridgeport Hospital
recently by Superintendent and Mrs.
Crosby, was Madamoiselle Emma Her-
pin: daughter of the private secretary
to the ex-Khedive of Egypt. Mlle. Her-
pin is now a member of the household
of Dr. Dunham of Greenfield Hill.
She came to this country a short time
ago and desiring to become proficient
in the English language, advertised in
a New York paper, stating that a young
lady desired to get a place in Some fam-
ily, the members of which could speak
the Italian and French languages.
Mrs. Dunham being a fluent Italian
and German scholar, opened a corre-
spondence with Mlle. Herpin which
continued about four months when the
young lady took 11p her residence in
the physician’s family. Mlle. Herpin
IS an attractive young woman only 21
years of age. She has studied in Alex-
andria and Constantinople and is quite
an accomplished scholar.

A custom peculiarly American, is the
over-heating of public buildings and
conveyances. The habit of sitting in
the church 01' theater enveloped in furs
is productive of many pulmonary com-
plaints. Unless a building is very cold
it is safer to remove the outside gar-
ments soon after entering. Asheltered
place on the deck of a ferry-boat is less
dangerous than the stifling cabin, even
in the winds of March. After walking
in the frosty air, many enter a crowded
shop and spend an hour or more in an
atmosphere almost at fever-heat, with-
out even untying a boa. As a conse-
quence perspiration is induced, and
when they again reach the pavements
"the bleak winds of March make them
tremble and shiver,” and they swell
the number of unfortunates suffering
from rheumatism and other ills. Wraps
should be made so as to be easily re-
moved.

The Kansas b'cnutor .
When he was on the staff Of the To-
peka. CapItal he spelt his name Pfeifl‘er,
as did his fore-fathers. When he as
sumed control of the Kansas Far'mer
he dropped the “1” and made it Pfefi'er,
and now he has1 been elected to the
United States Senate he signs it Peffer
and requests all correspondents to do
likewise. If his political career con-
tinues to be a success and this dropping
of letters continues, the man who has
been chosen to replace Ingalls will soon
come to be known as Peif. Greatness
and eccentricity always did go han 11 in
hand—[St Louis Star-Sayings
The Ditch Plain life saving station,
near Montauk Point, L.I., was struck
by lightning early yesterday morning
and set on fire. Captain Frank Strat-
ton’ the keeper, escaped without being
injnred. The flames communicated to
the old station, and both buildings
were entirely destroyed. The life sav-
ing crew could do nothing to cheek the
flames and had difficulty 1n saving their
personal effects.

It was a woman this time. She went
on a first class spree, painted the whole
neighborhood a brilliant crimsOn; left
her six children to take care of them-
selves while she had a high jinks of a
time, and ended up withfa lot.of remorse
and a big dose of paris green. She
awaits burial.—~[New York Herald.

Not (1. Popular Reform.
The Hon. Church Howe, the mem-
ber of the Nebraska legislature who
destroyed his railroad pass in such a
dramatic and prominent manner, may
have meant all right and may have ful-
ly expected that his example would
bear wholesome and immediate fruit,
but, if such were his expectations, he is
a sadly disappointed man. The self-
sacrificing act of the Hon. Mr. Howe
may make him very solid with the mo-
nopoly-ridden people of Nebraska, but
it failed to have any effect on the farm
er-members of the legislature, as not a
single one of them followed his exam-
ple and destroyed their free railroad
transportation.
It is all well enough for members of
legislatures .tO introduce anti-free pass
bills and follow them up with the most
logical arguments against this perni-
cious species of bribery. Such pro-
ceedings look well in cold type, and
they give the shrewd legislator a solid
standing in the agricultural com-
munity, but introducing and pleading
for anti-free pass measures and paying
out the hard cash for railroad fares are
two different and distinct propositions,
and the reform farmers of the Nebras-
ka legislature were quick to discern
this fact.

Struck By The Train.
Over in England, a few days ago,
woman was carrying her child across
the railroad tracks when a freight
train ' came along, and knocked them
down. The engine and 60 cars passed
over them, and although the woman’s
head was badly bruised, both came out
alive and the child was unhurt.
Here was a case of luck, pure and
simple. . Of the hundreds of people who
are struck by trains while crossing or
walking upon tracks, in the course of a
year, very few escape with their lives.
Indeed the only wonder is that any es-
cape. The writer once took a longride
on an engine, beside the engineer.
The train, as usual, tore along at ex-
press speed. It was a daily train, and
peOple on the route were accustomed
to its rapid passing; yet, despite the
fact that it wasa familiar sight, despite
the fact that the fireman blew the
whistle until its shriek was something
demoniacal, people of all ages seemed
to have lost all their senses and com-
monsense as well. Children carelessly
wandered from side to side of the rails
plucking daisies, and men and women
hastened, running from alittle distance
to cross the tracks, barely escaping the
oncoming engine, and then stood and
watched the train until it had disap-
peared. The obtuseness of the general
public in regard to the railway train is
something wonderful.
