An Extra Gazette.

An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of
the town of Norwalk, and is intended
to embrace a complete list of the busi-
ness and professional men, showing
what facilities we have to offer to man'-
ufacturing and other industries to lo-
cate in Norwalk. This issue will give
unusual advantages to our business
men to widely circulate their interests.
An authorized agent for the GAZETTE
will call on the business and profession-
al men, and we feel confident they will
give the enterprise their hearty support.

The New Cabinet.

It appears to be settled that four
members of the new Cabinet have
been finally chosen as follows :

Sec. of State—W. Q. GRESHAM, of Ills.

Sec. of Treasury—J. G. ACABLISLE,
of Ky. I

Sec. of War—D. S. LAMONT, of NY.

P. M. General—W. S. BISSELL, of
N. Y.

These are all from the North except-
ing Mr. CARLISLE, who is divided
from’the North in his Covington home
opposite Cincinnati only by the Ohio
river, and who was a Union man during
the war. The South will doubtless
have two additional members of the
Cabinet, one of whom may be J. RAN-
DOLPH TUCKER, of Virginia, as Attor-
ney General, and the other Mr. SMITH,
of Georgia, or Mr. HERBERT, of Ala-
bama.

New England is yet without a chosen
Cabinet officer. It is not probable
that she will be omitted, and it is safe
to assume that some distinctively
Western man will be called to the
circle of the constitutional advise of
the President.

It is an open secret, says the Phila-
delphia Times, that half a score of men,
have declined Cabinet appointments
under the new administration. The
time was when 'such positions were cag-
erly sought for, but to-day there are
very few competent men who are desir-
ous such honors. It is known that the
whole four new accepted as positively
fixed for the new Cabinet, would have
declined their new honors but for their
desire to oblige the new President and
aid the country.

President and lax-President.

Senator Stanford has some new ideas
on the old question of what to do with
err-presidents. There has been no very
good opportunity of late to settle this
question experimentally, the stock of
ex-presidents on hand having been at
no time inconveniently large. Mr.
Harrison’s case will bring up the sub-
ject in a practical form and already
there are many suggestions as to his
future. He has been recommended to
practice law at Indianapolis, to edit a
paper at New York, to become ajudge,
to lecture, to go into railroading, in-
surance or some other corparate enter-
prise. Mr. Stanford wants to make
him professor of law in the Leland
Stanford University. This would be a
very nice thing for Mr. Harrison, as
Stanford pays good salaries and there
are not enough students in his univer-
sity to make the duties of the profes-
sors very exacting. At the same time
it would be a fine advertisement for the
young institution to have an ex-Presi-
dent in its faculty, and as advertising
in one form or another is the life of a
modern college there could be no ques—
tion of his earning the salary. Be-
s1des, there is no telling how much his
political health might revive in the
glorious climate of California.

President Harrison will join in the in-
auguration ceremonies and remain at
the White House with Mrs. McKee to
receive Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Im-
mediately after the inauguration cere-
monies, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
McKee and their family, he will go di-
rect from the White House to the rail-
way station, and will leave Washington
for.Indianapolis by an early afternoon
train. They will break the journey at
Pittsburg, where they will stop over
night and spend Sunday with friends.
On Monday morning they will start
for Indianapolis, where they will ar-
rive that evening. Mrs. McKee will
open up her father’s Indianapolis home

 

and early summer. It is Ithe Presi-
dent’s desire to go to Cape May, and it
is quite certain that he will pass the
midsummer months there with his
children and grandchildren, to fill the
cottage with the family life, upon
which he will be more than ever de-

- pendent.

Electrlc Roads.

Writing from New York to the Phil-
adelphia Press, _“ Holland ” has some
interesting osst In regard to electric
railways. e refers to a possible‘él'ec-
tric road from New York to New Haven
and Springfield, andpbs ‘ _ ‘: ‘

“ The Connecticut-p meet is to build
from the suburbs of _New~»York a series
of electric railways, each one connect-
ing a largeg,.vi-llage or town with the
next large'tvillage, and ultimately thus
creating? an electric road which may
practic‘ 1y bisect the state. , Probably
images in view of this threatening com-

':petition that the New Haven managers

a; 31in four-tracking their read recently, so

constructed it as to make two of the
tracks available for electric service if it
should be deemed wise by and by.

‘ ‘Mr. Picrpont Morgan, Russell Sage,
and others of the greater railway finan-
ciers are reported to be of the opinion
that this marvelous development of
suburban electric car travel may com-
pel the greater railWays to devote all
their energies to obtaining through
travel for long distances and the trans-
portation of freight; more economically
and profitably thani‘is now done. Hen-
ry Villard goes evenfurther,‘ asserting
that within the nextten-years electric-
ity will have supplanted steam upon‘all
the trunk lines. 1

With regard to the recent purchase
of the Old Colony system “by the Con-
solidated, he says : '

If ,the report be true that the New
York and New Haven railroad, not sat-
isfied with the capture of the Old Col-
ony system, which: covers all south-
eastern Massachuse'tts and much of
Rhode Island, has: also secured the
New London and Northern railroad,
then that corporation has very hand-
somely flanked Mr. McLeod and his
associates who recently snatched the
Connecticut river railroad from the
hand of the New Haven people just as
their fingers were closing upon that
prize. The New London and Northern
not only parallels the Connecticut
River, but it has a terminal at the best
harbor on the New England coast, and
by alliance with the Central Vermont
reaches Montreal, and in that direction,
therefore, is a powerful rival, not only
of the Connecticut River, but also of
the Boston and Maine system.

“After all, it can only be taken as
another inclination of that higher intel-
ligence or perhaps that greater capital
which is inspiring these extraordinary
railway movementsin New England.
The secret springs cannot much longer
be concealed, and it is said here that
within a year there will be revealed
perhaps the most gigantic railway deal
and consolidation that has occurred for
many years cast of the Mississippi
river.”

A Little Railway Squabble.

The general freight officials of the
Consolidated and New York and New
England roads are involved in a little
squabble which is inconveniencing
shippers not a little.

The trouble seems to be in regard to
switching cars from one. road to the
other. This refers only to cars inten-
ded for private sidings. Formerly 100
weight extra was charged by the roads
for this service. Now the New Haven
road has issued orders notifying the
New England road that hereafter a
charge of $5 a car will be made for
such switching, and that cars will not
be taken unless so billed and the
charges prepaid. While the New Eng-
land does not object to the charge the
officials refuse to collect the charge
for the New Haven road and give them
the prepaid bill they require.

In afew cases satisfactory arrange-
ments have been made by manufactur-
ers who have been annoyed by the dif-
ficulty in this city, but at present there
are fifteen cars in the New England
yard in this city waiting to be trans-
ferred to sidings in the Consolidated
yard. The agents of both roads want
to accomodate the shippers, but can-
not do this, unless they disobey or-
ders. That’s the way the situation
stands at present. ——Danbury News.

No Pretty Girls in Bridgeport.

When Manager Leggett of the Wil-
bur Opera company arrived in town he
advertised for chorus girls. Eighteen
young ladies responded and applied for
positions. He wanted chorus girls to
travel with the show, not to appear
here. In every town he advertises in
this way, in order to keep the chorus
full. Of the eighteen several thought
they were wanted to appear here and
no more, and refused to travel. Some
wanted to travel With their mothers,
sisters, cousins and aunts. Others could
not be accepted under any conditions
as they did not fill the requirements
which were that they must be “ young
and good looking.” The result was that
he did not accept one out of the eight-
con, and there is that much more op-

STEPHEN G. FERRIS.

Deacon Stephen G. Ferris has after
along, useful and unblemished life,
reaching beyond the scriptural three
score years and ten, “ fallen on sleep. ”
His life has been one of those quiet,
sweet and wholesome exhalations of
unalloyed goodness. To do his Master’s
will and help and bless his fellow men,
was the constant desire of his noble
heart and the exhalation of his daily
life. Modest, unostentatious and re-
tiring, as has ever been his career, the
world is nevertheless greatly better for
his having lived. Such a life and such
a death are their own most fitting eu-
logy. No more solacing or affluent leg-
acy could he have left his bereaved
ones than the memory of his holy life
and his unnumbered good deeds.

Meeting of the Sub-Committee.

The sub-committee of the mayors of
Connecticut cities and the representa-
tives of various street railroads in the
state, held a conference yesterday af-
ternoon 1n Hartford. The meeting
was held for the purpose of discussing a
bill to be presented to the legislature
for the regulation of street railroads,
one of the most important points was
taxation. Some of those present thought
that the franchise should be taxed. The
ra1lroad men were of the opinion that
the fairest method would be a tax based
on the gross receipts. Statistics which
were prepared by John M. Taylor, vice

president of the Connecticut Mutual

Life Insurance Co. were read by Mayor
Hyde. Representatives of the railroads
then w1thdrew from the conference and
the mayors went into executive session.
A committee is to be appointed to
draft the proposed bill.

John Ready’s Escape.

Saturday evening John Ready, sex-
ton of St. John’s R. C. Church, nar-
rowly‘escaped being burned to death.
His ass1stant, 'who is not acquainted
with the workings of the large boiler
1n the basement of the church, filled
the furnace with coal and did not
properly attend the dampers, leaving
no escape for the gas. Mr. Ready dis-
covered the steam running' low and
examined the fire. When he opened
the door of the furnace, a cloud of
flame and gas enveloped his head and
body, setting fire to his clothing and
hair. He tore the burning clothing

- from off his body and quenched his

burning hair, but not before his eye-
brows and mustache, were completely
smged off: and a considerable portion
of the hair on his head was burned.
The flesh was not burned very severe-
ly. His eyes were injured by the heat
and for a time he was unable to see,
but today his eyesight is only slightly
impaired, and he has suffered no. seri-

ous results—Stamford Advocate.

The Connecticut» Mutual.

_ The annual statement of the Connec-
ticut Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and President Greene’s annual report
’zo dts members, are printed elsewhere

0- ay.

The assets have now crossed $60,000,- ’

900 and are almost $61,000,000, having
increased over $1,000,000 during the
year. Indeed the company has had a
year of healthy growth in all direc-
tions. Its surplus, already over 86,-
000,000, has increased $367,774, and the
total amount of insurance has increased
nearly $3,000,000 and reaches the im-
mense figure of $157,737,302. And
everybody knows this will all be paid
when it is due. '

The strength of the Connecticut Mu:
tual is something people try to meas-
ure sometimes, but they never question
it. Its assets are admirably invested
and its management is clean and capa-

e.

The real estate investments of the
Connecticut Mutual were criticised
jvJears ago, but since 1879 the company

as sol real estate that cost it $8,907,-
719 and has got for it $10,553,625, thus
gaining $1,645,906 out of what some
croakers said must bring heavy loss.
The test of all these things is time, and
that is the test that the Connecticut
Mutual is conducted to meet.

A most interesting and suggestive
change in public opinion is indicated
by the comment that is heard upon
this company. Some years ago its
“conservatism” was thrown out rather
as a term of reproach in various quar-
ters. Today that same conservatism
is cited as the foundation for. the faith
which is everywhere felt in it and its
mana ement. The course of the com-
pan as been the some all along. Col-
one _ Greene has his policy and
his ideals. He has every year ex-
plained fully to policyholders and. the
public his notions of how the business
of life insurance should be conducted,
and he has conducted it that way. Now
he finds the drift of sentiment his way,
and the company cited as an illustra-
tion of strength and safety.

It is big enough to be independent;
it takes only such business as is worth
taking; it meets all its obligations ; 1t
d1v1des a yearly increasing dividend
among its insured ; its policy draws to
it the more conservative people, who
are consequently by their nature the
better risks ; and it is daily fulfilling
the purposes for which it is chartered
and is sure to do so as long as its pres-
ent policy holds.

Musical Notes.
Music has been divided into four

classes known-respectively as~Classical~,~

Standard, Popular, and Trash. Of
these the first is often misjudged, many

persons thinking that music called clas-
sical must of necessity be dry, difficult
and uninteresting.

Now classical simply means the high-
est and best, and as human nature gen-
erally tries to get the best of whatever
is to be had, it seems strange that all
who love and seek music should not
follow the same rule.

It is true that some music of this kind
is too deep and too difficult for any but
a profane student, just as some litera-
ture is interesting only to the learned
scholar, but among the vast and rich
stores of classical music probably some-
thing could be found to interest every-

one, and a taste once formed would nat- -

urally grow until nothing but the best
would ever satisfy.

The tune known as “ Weber,” and
generally set to the hymn “ Softly now
the light of day,” is universally loved
and admired. It is purely classical, be-
ing taken from the opening chorus of
Von Weber’s opera “ Oberin.” Another
tune called “ Handel,” is so wedded
to the hymn “ Awake, my soul, stretch
every nerve,” that no one would think
of singin it to any other music.
author w ose name it bears is an older
classical writer than Von Weber.

These are two examples of beautifu],
and even taking classical music, and it
would greatly benefit every student
and lover of music to explore still fur-
ther this boundless field, assured that
they would meet new beauties at every
turn, and find abundant reward for all
their labor. n. 11., JR.

Bridgeport Churches Protest.
Six churches in Bridgeport passed
resolutions Sunday night protesting
against the passage of Representative J.
D. Toomey’s bill inow before the Con-
necticut legislature by which 'it is
sought to give the common councils of
cities the power to make ordinances
permitting the sale of perishable arti-
cles of merchandise on Sunday and
also such forms of innocent amuse-
ments as may be deemed proper. Sev-
eral clergyman preached against the
bill last evening. They claim it is an
attempt to take from Sunday its sanct-
ity and make an opening for theatres,
concerts, football and base ball games,
etc., on that day.
