Not far from the rear windows of this office there is a poor, chained-up dog, which looks as if it was only half fed. It seems to us that no persons should attempt to keep a dog unless they can afford to feed it. This is a case of in- excusable crueltv. If the dog was not chained he could find enough to eat. As it is, we are sure the poor canine is suf- fering for food. Mr. Vincent Colyer Grifi‘eths is ex- pecting to visit Hartford today in be- half of his aunt, Mrs. Vincent Colyer, who desires Gov.

The Armory last night was “a bower of beauty,” on occasion of the opening of the Hospital Fair. There were “fair women and brave men” present in large numbers and the Armory certain- ly never looked gayer or was it ever filled with a more earnest assemblage of our citizens, and all convened “for sweet charity’s sake. ” The twelve booths, representing the calendar months, were temptingly arrayed with about everything the inventive genius of woman could devise to lure the mon- ey from the pockets of the men. With true womanly instinct the ladies had illustrated and demonstrated their be- lief in the Old proverb that the most direct and certain way to the average man’s heart and~ pocket-book, was via his stomach, and about every delicacy that could tempt the appetite or induce dyspepsia was provided. The musical part of the programme was also a grati- fying feature, and now that the enter- prise is in full blast, the promise of a less inclement evening to-night, should fill that vast edifice, to its fullest ca- pacity. “Oh what a world this would be. If less unmindful of pelf, Each esteemed his neighbor a brother— And whenever he did a bit good for himself. He did a bit good for another.” ,_ _ ._ .___...V___ .49». ——40 in.

' WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS: That we needsomething like a small deluge to fill our reservoirs and wells. That Miss Henrietta Belden will spend the winter in New York. That Mrs. Albert Day of New York is visiting her mother on East avenue. That our HOSpital Bazaar will be, or ought to be, at least, visited by vast crowds of people, for it is one of the finest and best arranged of any that has been held in town for many years. A visit to the Armory will convince anyone of this fact. That fruit no longer appears as a dec- oration for our dinner table. Flowers are no longer admitted in dining rooms. Ferns and palms have replaced the lav- ish display Of fragrant flowers. That riding habits are made with skirts much longer this autumn than last year; they fall at least ten or twelve inches below the stirrup. There is no change in the bodice. The head ear is the melon or yachting hat, or igh hat with gauze veil. That a charming girl’s studio, dec- orated I believe, by the girl, is a room of moderate size, and is the abode of a particularly clever young woman. The floor is of bricks painted yellow and spread with rugs in shades of yellow and brown. The walls have been washed in with cloudy brown, the effect of which is rather ancient and mel- low and altogether agreeable. Above this is a frieze of yellow on which are storks and other quaint figures in brown. The ceiling is acreamy tint, splashed here and there with a ruddy light in old red or gold. There is a fire-place in One corner built of yellow bricks, and the windows are curtained with soft woolen stuffs in yellow. The chairs are in antique shapes in yellow and brown oak, and a big divan is heaped with cushions which repeat the colors. The walls are hung with etch- mgs and these are in oak frames. Over the doors there are shelves, and on these and on the mantel and in the wmdow and in various odd corners are brown and yellow jugs.

She received many tokens of esteem from friends, and ap- peared at the time as if she would live to celebrate many more birthdays. but a few days later the Superintendent in- formed the Selectmen that the excite- ment of the occasion had told on her, and her death might occur at any time. She was a resident of East Norwalk and had been an inmate of the hospital for about six months. Selectman Ray- mond went to Bridgeport this morning to make arrangements for her funeral.

The convention is called to discuss What part the National Guard shall take at the world’s fair to be held in Chicago in 1893. One of the projects that Will be discussed is the advisability of mobilizing the entire National Guard and having them appear in Chicago. In case this was decided upon, fully 100,- 000 men would be in line. General Miles will represent the Uni- ted States army at the conveniion. +»»——————-— Something New. The GAZETTE has received from the Fairfield Rubber Company a very neat and unique pocket book in which to carry our surplus. It consists of a flat piece of leather, a trifle longer than the ordinary dollar bill, with a side piece or flap near the end, which folds over the bills to keep them in place, allo w- ing the whole to be rolled up and car- ried in the pocket like a roll of bills. When our surplus exceeds our deficien- cy we propose to carry our bills in this new device, without fear of abstraction by pickpockets. This company also manufactures a Magazine Shooting Vest, which carries 48 shells and auto- matically delivers each shell directly into the hand when desired.“ It is sim- ply constructed and the losing of shells is an impossibility. Every sportsman should possess one of these self-feeding Shooting Vests. _..__._.._.-_. ¢ . -Wallace& Co.’s most excellent Con- fections, at G. A.

The Danburians have called on the State Railroad Commissioners to assmt them in the matter of securing a new depot in that thriving city._in place of the old, and now discredltable Dan- bury & Norwalk wooden structure that has done duty so many years. The commissioners call attention to the matter in their report and urge the erection of a new edifice, and yet the Danbury depot is a gilded palace com- pared with Our borough station. ,Here we have to climb stairs with lungs and eyes filled with coal gas, and smoke and steam. and as for the reception rooms, an up country corn house would be preferable. while a terrible stench from an old, and we believe, unused closet in the rear of our post office, disgusts passengers with its sickening Odors. It is said the question of a new depot building here is to be considered and acted upon as soon as the scheme Of double-tracking the road is settled up- on, and that it is likely to be erected on Water street in rear of the Opera House. This change cannot come too soon to please the patrons of the road. CAN AD A’S CABINET CRISIS. Premier Abbott Will Probably Be Oom- pelled to Dissolve Parliament. MONTREAL, Oct.i27.—The present pre- mier, Abbott, is finding difficulty recon- struct-ing the cabinet, and the general im- pression is that he will shortly dissolve parlimnent and go before the country. There seems to be. no hope for the Con- servative party. On the other hand, the Liberal Quebec provincial parliament is also passing to a crisis. Investigation into the Baie do Chalcurs railway scandal has revealed the fact that at least $100,000 was stolen from the provincial treasury to swell thepOck- ets of the cabinet ministers. The inde- pendent press is caliim: 1011613? on the Lib- eral party to riditse‘i‘ v“ Premier Mercier and other cabinet 12o ~--, and go before the country on the trade ticket, as Canada has lost confidence. in the national policy. At the finish of the Baie des Chaleurs investigation nothing is so certain as that the lieutenant governor Of the province of Quebec will dismiss the Mercier cabi- net.

OMAHA, Oct. 27.—A daring robbery was committed here, just after midnight, by four masked men. Superintendent Beals, of the Omaha Street Railway company, an d two assistants were in the office of the Ames avenue barn, when they were sud- denly confronted by the robbers, who pre- sented revolvers and made them throw up their hands. They then drilled a hole in the safe and filled it with a quantity of giant powder and set it Off. The explosion was much more severe than they had evi- dently intended it- to-be, as it made a tre- mendous noise. The safe door was blown twenty feet away, and a number of employees who were in the barn were attracted by the concussion. They rushed to the office to see what it meant, but were, met at the door by two of the burglars, who present- ed a brace Of revolvers and coolly told them to return to their work and not in- terfere. The men were cowed and returned to the barn. The burglars had taken all precautions, even going ~50 fares to cut the telephone limes which ran to the city, thus cutting off all means of notifying the police. theu the latter were informed of the robbery some time afterward the burglars had made their escape. The safe contained 61,200, which the burglars got away with. British Gold for the Northwest. ST. PAUL, Oct. 27.—George N.

William Lee, of New Haven,has asked the courts in vain for a divorce. Twenty years ago his Wife became infatuated with William Harriman, a. member of the fire department, and they were mar- ried. They were not happy, and Har- riman suddenly disappeared. He was not heard from for years, and after be- coming tired of waiting for 1118 return she married William Lee. Harriman returned about three yeais ago, and told wondrous stories of his travels in South Ame. ice. and South Africa. He lived in the same house with his wife and her second husband until he could get a divorce from her, which Harri- man paid for. Lee then married his wife over again. Lee has not lived with his wife for some time, claiming intol- erable cruelty on her part. It is said when she gets angry with him she tosses him up to the ceiling and allows him to drop to the floor. She weighs 220 and he weighs 100 pounds. Judge Thayer refused to rant the application, saying that when as was once free from her he should have had sense enough to re— main free. Opera House.
