The service at St. Paul’s church yes-
terday morning was largely attended,
and was more than usually interesting.
Rev. Mr. Washburn, of Oyster Bay,

read the service, assisting Rev. Mr.

able church shed.

 

A young man giving his name as
Cook, and claiming to have come from
the . Bridgeport Post, has con repre-
senting himself in Norwalk as about to
enter the employ of the GAZETTE, and
on the strength of that, succeeded in
beating his boarding mistress, Mrs.
Merritt, out of the amount of his bill.
The GAZETTE knows nothing of this
person, and would advise boarding
house keepers to look out for him.

Up in Winsted, in some of the relig-
ious denominations there is a refresh-
ing tone of liberality.‘ The superin—
tendent of a Sunday school in one of its
orthodox churches has the reputation
of being the most skillful billiardist in
town, so that he can give “points” to
almost anybody in billiards as well as
in religious instruction. If Solomon
were living to-day he would very likely
in a “revised version” of his Proverbs
say there was a time to play croquet,
base ball and billiards, and a time to
refrain from these games. ’

What Miss Spinster Says :

That not since the early Fall has a
week passed so quietly for society.
There is not much chance of the re-
maining days between now and Easter
being much brighter.

That if you want to study human na.
ture, go into the Norwalk Club for an
hour or so, and watch the billiard play-
ers. The man who is in hard luck and
does not become irritable deserves a
niche in the temple of fame alongside
that great man, Job. If a man is
conceited and wants to hide the fact
from his friends, he should shun the
billiard table as he would a pest spot.
More hard feeling has been engender-
ed and more friendships have been
fractured over the green table than the
average citizen is aware of.

That J. Arthur Amhler, of New York ,'
was in town over Sunday.

That her many friends in town will
be pleased to learn that change of
scene has been beneficial to Mrs. Am-
bler.

That Anthony Comstock at the Opera
House drew an immense crowd of men.
East ' and South Norwalk were well
represented. _

That March will have five Sundays,
Mondays and Tuesdays.

That as much as one may differ from
the creeds of churches and oppose
them on the ground that they cannot
with reason agree with them, yet there
is hardly one of such opponents but
will candidly admit that the churches
are a power for good, spiritually, mor-
ally and socially, and without their in-
fluence there would be a void in socie-
ty which nothing else would satisfacto-
rily fill. ‘

That great is the sphere of woman,
and her work is constantly and rapidly
increasing. That this is so, no one who
has watched the tendencies of the past
few years will deny, neither is he rash
enough to predict where the movement
will end. . \Vith women knocking at
the doors of the polling booth, starting
across the continent against time, and
setting out to explore the darkest re-
cesses of Africa, man’s supremacy

seems in serious peril.

That the modern belle is severely
smart, from the stout sole of her Eng-
lish boot to the crown of her wing-tip-
ped toque. '

That the DAILY GAZETTE contains a
remarkably varied and inviting table
of contents, and represents a reflex of
the best ideas of the day.

March 29 is the date on which Easter
falls this year. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is on March 22,
and this only in case the moon is full
on March 51, when this date happens
to fall 011 Saturday. This combination
of circumstances is extremely rare: it oc-
cured in 1003, 1761 and 1817. and will
happen again in 1990, 2076 and 2144,
while during three following 'centuries
itis not once “011 the book” atthis early
date. 011 the other hand, Easter never
falls later than April 25; this was the
case in 1666. 1734 and 1886, and will
only happens once in the next century
—namely, in 1943.

In regard to Nellie McHenry, who is
soon to appear here in “Chain Light-
ning,” Charles Davis, in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, says :—“Chain Light-
ning” is the name of the new protean
play in which Nellie McHenry, the
popular soubrette, friskcd about last
evening at the Arch, to the unmistaka-
ble enjoyment of her admirers. Its
title is not inappr0priate, considering
the lightning-like rapidity with which
the scenes pass from sheer farce to
thrilling melodrama and back again, so
that an attempted murder is preceded
by a song and dance, a comic episode
immediately follows a sensational in-
cident, and so on, right through the
performance. The story of this come-
dy drama, if such it may be called,
concerns the efforts of two wicked ad-
venturers to murder a Californian
named Howland, for purposes of gain.

Miss McHenry acted with her usual
spirit and abandon, danced most grace-
fully, and sang at various stages of the
performance. Her company met pret-
ty much all the requirements, and in-
cluded E. A. Eagleston, who gave an
excellent sketch of a Yankee Califor-
nian ; Frank Deane, Jule S. Russell,
John Webster and Miss Crowell who
played the inevitable stage spinster
amusingly. ’ ’

Pursuant to notice in Saturday’s
GAZETTE, Mr. Anthony Comstock of
the Society for the Suppressmn of Vlce,
delivered addresses in Norwalk yester-
day which were listened to with ab-
sorbing interest by good audiences.
that of last evening being particularly
large, when the unpropitious weather
is taken into consideration.

While Mr. Comstock‘s talks are laid
along the lines of personal purity and
are, therfore, discounted by many in
advance of delivery, there is always an
element of newness which is appreciat-
ed. His pleas for an abandonment of
vicious tendencies, as well as practices,
are based upon logic and being inter-
spersed with apt anecdote never fail to
amuse and hold the intensest interest
of the average audience, with an inev-
itable gravitation toward downright
conviction.

Yesterday’s addresses, especially that
of last evening, were of a character to
induce or stimulate thought in the di-
rection of starting right. Plant the
feet of the children and youth upon the
platform of personal purity and main-
tain morally healthful surroundings,
and as a rule, “when they are old they
will not depart from it.” The people
of Norwalk would like to hear oftener
from this fearless champion of moral
excellence.

THIS MOBNING’S INTERVIEW.

Mr. Comstock started on his return
trip at 8.17 this morning. Just before
his departure a DAILY GAZETTE re-
porter had an extended interview with
him, the principal points of which will
be of general interest. He arrived in
Norwalk yesterday direct from \the
bedside of Mrs. John B. Gough, at
Hillside, about five miles from \Vorces-
ter, Mass. The Norwalk friends of
that estimable woman will regret to

learn that she is almost totally para-

lyzed, being able only to slightly use
her right hand. \Vhile the physical is
being rapidly undermined her mental
faculties are undimmed, and she awaits
with fortitude, almost cheerfulness, the
final summons to the other
world. Her three nieces, who were
adopted as their children by Mr. and
Mrs. Gough, are with their foster
mother and in every way possible are
making easy her footsteps through the
dark valley.

Saturday afternoon while \Villiam E.
Dann, our enterprising harness and
trunk dealer, was enjoying a short nap
after a hearty dinner, his partner Mon-
son Hoyt, was waited upon by tivo sons
of sunny Italy, bent on purchasing two
of the latest improved Saratogas, in
view of two approaching wedding tours,
“ Monse ” with his usual urbanity soon
sold each a three-dollar trunk, whose
shape and finish would have satisfied a
Vanderbilt. Shouldering their trunks
the two Italians started for “J erry’y O’-
Brien’s Whistleville District, congratu-
lating themselves over their good luck
in being able to purchase two elegant
trunks for $6. ‘ After a short nap Wil-
liam E. returned to the store and dis-
covered the absence of the trunks, and
pointing to the spot where they had re-
posed before his departure for dinner,
he interrogated “ Mouse ” as follows:
“Say, Mouse, whathave you done with
the two trunks that stood there?” “Sold
them, partner,” replied “ Mouse. ”
“ That’s good,” ejaculated the delight-
ed partner. “ But did you take out
those alligator valises that were inside ‘2”
“Holy Moses ! ” yelled “ Monse,’v
“ I forget them, by thunder! and those
blasted Italians have gone off with
them.” In a second’s time “Monse ”
was on the horse cars speeding for
South Norwalk in hopes of catching his
customers before they reached that city.
In front of Mr. Matthewson’s “ Monse”
overtook Jerry’s Whistleville constitu-
ents, and jumping from the car he
yanked a trunk from the terrified Ital:
ian’s shoulder and proceeded to open
it and remove therefrom about $20
worth of alligator valises, which he had
sold with the trunk for $3. It is need-
less to remark that valises are not kept
in trunks at that store now. and here-
after when you buy a trunk from
“' Mouse” you will find that a nest of
alligator valises do not go with it.

would return to this city as he had
nothing to fear, but as he was innocent
of the burglary and left Waterbury ow-
to domestic troubles. It is thought in
this city thathis mother gave him mon-
ey and that he has gone as far from
Connecticut as possible.
