- THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
liispemliit in all things: Neutral in nothing.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper In Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertising
rates.
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.
A Religious Age.
The present age, says the Herald, is
not lacking-in religion, but on the con-
trary is full of it. The era of infidelity
is gone, while that of faith bordering
on certainty is at hand. It may not be
the kind of faith in which you were
brought up, nor yet. the kind to which
you can readily give your assent, but
it is faith all the same, and it seems to
be sufficient to make hosts of people
contented and happy. It is not Cal-
vinistic, it is not wholly in accordance
with the teaching of the pulpit, it re-
pudiates a large part ofthe creeds now
e;tant, but, and here is the import-ant
point, it certainly does help those who
accept it to bear the burdens of life
cheerfully and to look forward _to the
future without dread.
The Pool Rooms.
Under the above caption the Hart-
ford Courant makes these timely and
gravely important observations: “If
the present Legislature does not enact
a rigorous'and effective law against the
pool rooms, then public opinion will
have been plainly disregarded.
The pool-selling iniquity has spread
all over the state.- Business men,
clerks. boys, are daily taking money to
buy these pool tickets which they have
no right to use for such purposes.
They do not get any of the fun of see-
ing the races. All they see is the last
0f their own or somebOdy else’s money.
It is a demoralizing infatuation.
Each fool that goes into it realizes that
anybody else who does so will lose but
thinks he himself will have different
luck. He pays for his opinion, but the
price he pays is his own character and
self-respect.
If the home-loving people, who think
that by refusing to know about wrong
they can prevent any wrong from ex:
isting, will take a look at one of the
pool-rooms in any of our large cities
they may get a useful lesson. Thepre-
sent law is defective. A new one is
needed. The cause of honest living de.
mands it. ”
More Anent Bank Stock Taxes.
The two severely criticised members
of the town Bozird of Belief, it seems
have been unjustly scolded. It now
transpires that they consulted the
Town’s Attorney and acted under his
legal instructions and therefore are
blameless. He instructed them that
no abatement could be legally made to
anyone who did not personally apply and
claim abatement. It is to be hoped
that this irruption may result in end-
in gpur present and old time go-as-you-
please methods of assessments and
abatements. That it is unfair and un-
just-to abate 30 per cent. on one man’s
bank _stock and omit doing it on an-
other’s every honest man must admit.
The surest and easiest way‘out of such
difficulties would seem to be to adhere
strictly to the legal requirements of
assessing all property at as near its act-
ual value as is possible. If this were
donetbank stock would again become a
favorite investment and not burden-
some as now and would check the ten-
dency to transfer ownerships in our 10-
cal banks to non residents.
Much good would result from a law
electing our assessors and boards of re-
lief for three years and arranging for
one member only d rop out each
year. This would constantly ensure
two experienced members. on every
board.

In Error.
The Philadelphia Times in giving
reminiscences of the late Mr. Henry A.
Burr, the great New York and Phila-
delphia hat manufacturer, (in whose
employ Mr. Stephen H. Smith of Nor-
walk, was so long and so confidentially
retained, and on whose estate he has
acted as executor,) makes the error of
giving Mr. Burr as the patentee of the l
h’at machine. It was the Wells ina-
chine he purchased and used and the
late Charles F. Raymond of Norwalk,
claimed he was a co-inventor of it with
Wells. The Times’ narrative is as fol-
lows: 7 V _
“The last even distant relative'of
Aaron Burr is dead. He was a hatter.
He patented a hat machine years ago.
Up to that time but bodies had been
made by hand. Burr’s machines so
revolutionized the business that 8,000,~
000 hats were made upon his machines
in one twelve-month. For many. years
he virtually had a monopoly of the hat
trade, and when his patent expired he
had amassed a great fortune. -
At the breaking out Of the war he
practically organized the famous Ells-
worth Zouaves, and contributed liber-
ally to our early military establish-
ment. He was in many respects a
singular man, but a pushing energetic
citizen. His father was Aaron Burr’s
first cousin, and his grandmother a
sister of Jonathan Edwards. He sprang
from that large Burr family that once
lived near Cooperstown, N. Y. Now
that he is dead, it will be exceedingly
hard to find another man bearing the
name of Burr who is even remotely
connected with the ill-fated but bril-
liant man who was once such a power
in our political and social life.”
Mr. Burr died in December1884, and
he was never a practical hat maker,
though a hat dealer, and his family
originated from theConnect'icut branch,
descendants of whom now reside in and
about Hartford and Fhairficld counties.

pleasing features, the first part pre-
senting a troupe of creoles who sang
very sweetly. Every act was encored.
Billy Jackson was immense and
brought down the house in his eccen-
tricitiesa Bethel and Jones did, some
very artistic dancing, Harry Pierson
asa burlesque prima donna, scoreda
success, as did also William LeVard on
a “ladder of razor-edged swords.” An
amusing cake walk concluded the en-
tertainment. The orchestra accom-
panying the troupe was one of the best
ever heard in the Opera House and
wasa decided feature of the entertain
ment. A zyloplione solo by Charles
F. Gordon was warmly applauded, and
the same can be said of the comet solo
by J. G. Brown. The company ap-

the twenty-four horses, there is also a

The great and only ‘ ‘George Wilson, ”

Mr. Wilson, as the originator of what
is known in miustrelsy as theMon-
ologist, has doubtless more imitators
than any other foot-light artist that
ever entertained an audience. He has
for-15 years occupied the position he
now holds, at the head of all, and no
doubt will stay there until he is called
to a better land where burnt cork is an
unknown. quantity.
He comes this year promising the
best minstrel performance our local
theater goers have ever seen. He will
have to hump himself to excel his
previous efforts, but as he 's a man of
to do a thing he generally does it. All
these things considered, a treat is un-
doub‘tly in store for all who visit Music
Hall to-night.

privates and musicians are allowed $2

states that the officers of the national
