it was All Fools day, whipped up his

That gentle spring comes slowly.
Our spring flowers have had to be

And as for swallows and robins'they
are not foolish enough to dare stretch
their wings in the open air for weeks
yet without a bit of red flannel about
their throats. But our fair belles were
arrayed in their airy, fairy creations of
gauze and lace, last evening, without a
thought of grippe and pneumonia
hanging over them like a pall.

opponents.

ting so high that it ought not to be

That the Chicago man who captured
the grippe bacillus appears to have let
him loose again. These are sorry days
for that stricken city. ‘

That how happy the poor grippe
stricken mortals could be if they could
only believe in the mind cure. That
all so-called diseases are only , per-
verted thoughts, simply mistaken no-
tions, and if a person who assumesthat
lie is ill can be convinced of the truth
of these views, and see the absurdity of
his ailments, and think himself well, he
is well. “The way to resume is to re-
sume," once quoth Editor Greeley.

Liberty Enlightening the World.
That a buxom dame of Virginia has
lately married her. fifth bucolic hus-
band. She may very properly be
termed the Farmers’ Alliance.

That Governor Bulkeley Tuesday,

‘ran up on the fiagstafi‘ over the execu-

tive chamber a new “Governor’s” flag
of the regulation pattern.

That there is a growing belief in
Christian Science, here in our midst,
and they will tell you that Christian
Science rests on the conception of God
as all life, substance and intelligence,
and excludes the human mind as a.
spiritual factor in the healing work.

That the centennial of the patent
office, which is to”be celebrated iii
Washington on Wednesday next is to
be a unique affair. .

That fora young woman to lose a
lover is a misfortune, at times, though
the chances are that she will live tO
bless the day it happened, but for her
to lose a real friend is a calamity. .

That a dainty rosebud at the ball last
evening was young spring personified.

That it was the remark of Mrs. De
Pork, anent last night’s lovely ball:
“Yes, Iliked the toot ensemble very
much.” “It did seem ever so nice,”
replied her daughter. “Yes, but what
I specially referred to was these cym-

Norwalk Ladies Distinguished
Themselves as Hostesses.

Last Evenlng’s Party one; of the
Most Popular In the History of
Norwal'k.

The ladies of Norwalk, to use an oft
quoted political phrase, can “point
with pride”. to their achievement Of
last night iiijthe form of a full dress re-
ception at the Armory. The afl'air— from
its inceptiong to its execution was theirs,
and to then‘pis awarded the laurel for
one of the ghost successful balls, ev-
er given ini'in’NorWalk.

The Armifiry had been very tastefully
draped with the National colors, {and
as early as 8:30 o’clock the invited
guests begin to arrive. Shortly before
9 o’clock the Wheeler and Wilson band,
eight pieces, of Bridgeport, took their
places upon the platform and in a trice
about twenty' sets were formed and
nearly 1502' ladies and gentlemen went’
through the Lanciers. the many strik-
ing costumes constituting efi'ective
tableaux in not a few instances. In
the waltz, the schottische and plain
qua‘drille'the merry company danced
the moments away, until, at about 11:30,
ten numbers, (one-half the programme,)
had been )éxecuted when an intermis-
sion for silpper was announced. This
was served under the general direction
of the supper committee, (headed by
Mrs. Stephen COmstock) and was all
that could have been desired, as re-
spects both quality and quantity. Af-
ter supper dancing was resumed and
the time spent in disposing of the re-
maining ten numbers on the pro-
gramme jwas all too‘short for those who
participated, as well as for the goodly
number who looked upon and admired
the gay scene from the gallery.

Space forbids an extended notice or
mention of those who individually con-
tributed toward making this post Len-
ten ball completely successful, but the
GAZETTE would err grievously did it
neglect to make especial mention of Mr.

defatiglrble associates of the floor com-

CONSOLIDATED R. R. ’

Indictment of the Directcirs.

Mr.Chauncey M. Depew declares, the
Herald says, that the indictment of the
New York and New Haven directors
will be fought to the United States Su-
preme Court if necessary.

Three important legal questions are
involved, and not until each and all of
these have been finally decided against
them will the indicted directors con-
cede their liability under the statute of
New York prohibiting the use of stoves
in passenger cars. These are the ques-
tions :— -

First—Whether the penalties of the
act are aimed against a railroad cor-
poration as a body or against the di-
rectors personally. .

Second—Whether a company which
has four hundred miles of road in Con-
necticut and only twenty-five in New
York is amenable to a law which does
“not apply to roads less than fifty miles
in length.”

Third—Whether the New York stat-
ute is not an unconstitutional interfer-
ence with interstate commerce.

In view of the marked limitations rc-
Cently imposed by the federal Supreme
Court 01f the power of a State touching
interstate traffic, it is by no means ,
clear that the Car Stove act will stand a
constitutional test. At any rate, it must
be several years before this and the
other questions raised can be finally
determined. Hence the indicated di-
rectors are in no immediate peril of
paying the penalties of the law which

 

they are Charged with violating.

Adjourned. '
[New Haven Journal and Courier.l
The Connecticut house of represen-
tatives refused to play any longer yes-
terday and adjourned tillNovember 11.
The people of the State are so tired of
the antics at Hartford that they will

not miss them. They are tired of a

legislature which has placed party ad- '

‘vantage and perverse obstinacy before

the real interests of‘ the State. Both
sides have claimed to be engaged in a
heroic endeavor to save the constitu-
tion of the State from damage. In 01'-
der to do this the democrats have per-
sistently and needlessly insulted the
governor, who has held his Office ac-
cording to the constitution, and they
have finally, when the republicans were
willing to carry the dispute to the
courts, stood out against it with'mulish
obstinacy. We believe the chief reason
for their obstinacy has been the prob-
ability that any fair examination of the
matters at issue would result in a de-
cision against their pretensions. At the
last they stand more in the wrong than
the Republicans, and they will have to
take the greater part of the responsibil-
ity. We do not suppose that anything
serious will happen while the legisla-
ture is at home attending to farming,
etc., but there will be a good deal of
annoyance and trouble. Fairness and
honesty would have prevented it.

Some Methodist Ministers.

* * * Then there is Rev. William
Brown, pastor of the North Main street
Methodist church for the last four
years. His first work as pastor in this
vicinity was nearly twenty years ago
when he was assigned to the pastorate
of the East avenue 'Methodist church
in Norwalk. A short time previous to
Mr.‘ Brown’s assignment there the

church was founded and a new edifice
built. The founders of the society
wanted Rev. G. Haulenbeck, of Nor-
walk, for their first pastor and it was
the general understanding among them
that their wishes would be gratified.
But dissensions arose and a few who
were opposed to Mr. , Haulenbeck suc- -

 

 

.ceeded in carrying their point and hav-

ing Rev. Mr. Latham appointed. Dur-

‘ing his term the church did not thrive -

as it would have. done had unity pre-

vailed. Mr. Brown wasthe next pastor
and the difficulty he had to. contend
with at the beginnin was dissenslon.

But he soon succeede in harmonizing
all differences and from that time out

the Church has prospered. . Recently a
new and handsome church edlfice has

been completed and Is now occupied by
the society.' Mr. BrOwnl wfll alwaysbe
held in grateful! remembrance by the
.East Norwalk- Methodists. Slnce leav-
ing East NOrwalk he has been pastor Of.
several churches, laurpng them the
