Hospital Fund.
At the request of the GAZETTE Mayor
Bhody McGinnis has consented to give
a description Of his trip to the inaugura-
tion of President Cleveland. The
Opera House has been secured for the
occasion and the lecture will be given
Friday evening March 10. The ad-
mission will be 25 cents, and the pro-
ceeds will be presented to the Hospital
fund. As a large number of ladies
have expressed a desire to be present
the gallery will be specially reserved
for them.
Vice President Morton.
A special word of kind farewell is to
be said to the retiring Vice President,
Mr. Morton. No one has ever realized
more completely the ideal of this un-
says the Philadelphia
Times. The Vice President has noth-
ing to do but to preside over the Senate
—and wait. Most Vice Presidents have
thought it necessary while waiting to
keep themselves in evidence. They
have often formed little centres of in-
trigue, such as may form around the
heinexpeotant in a monarchy. They
have dreamed Of setting up for them-
selves and becoming the inheritors of
power by other process than the acci-
dental one provided for them in the
Constitution. Mr. Morton has done
nothing Of the sort. ‘
No man ever filled the Vice Presi-
dency for four years and kept himself
more successfully subdued. He has
presided over the Senate with the ut-
most dignity and impartiality. A bet-
ter Chairman the Senate never had, yet
he has so carefully. avoided any self-
assertion in the chair that on one or
two occasions, when his casting vote
would have been important and might
have determined the policy Of his
party, he has taken care to be away.
Being fortunately a man Of means, he
has held up the social end of his posi-
tion with the utmost acceptability, and
has been entirely respected and cs-
tcemed by all shades of Washington so-
' ciety. But his great success has been
made in keeping resolutely out Of any
evident participation in politics. If
chance had called him to the Presiden-
cy, he would have come to it .untram-
meled ; as chance did not, he remained
outside, never embarrasing by word or
deed either the President or his party,
and leaving Washington precisely as he'
entered it, an independent and self-rc-
specting gentleman.'
If as much can be said for his succes-
sor at the expiration of four years, Mr.
Stevenson can then count himself a
happy man. Many Vice-Presidents have
shown him what to avoid ; Mr. Morton
has shown him the one safe‘ path to
follow.
As to the White House Ladies.
Of the changes that have taken place
within the White House, people will
think and talk accordingly as they ap-
prove or regret them. ' The Harrisous
have vacated whilst the Clevelands
have taken possession, and about this
transformation,» in its purely personal
aspects, a great deal of varying emotion
will collect, says the Post. '
One thing may. be said, however, in i
the full assurance that every acquaint-
ance of the outgoing family will echo
it, and that is, that Washington is very
sorry to part with the ladies Of Mr.
Harrison’s household. They have spent
four years there, and in that time have
won the esteem, the good will, and
where circumstances - permitted, the
affection of all. They have built up
within those augustprecincts which lend
themselves so readily to ostentation
the perfect model of an American home.
They have shown us the family circle
at its sweetest and its best. Avoiding
display ; with a genuine love of simplic-
ity and an instinctive avoidance of the
vulgar, they have illustrated the finest
aspects and possibilities of our institu-'
tions by proving that the family of the
greatest and most powerful ruler in the
world can be, without sacrifice of dig-
nity and influence, as genuine, as un-
pretentious, as devoted and as happy as
the family of the obscurest citizen.
Through their domestic concord and
aficction we have learned a hundred
beautiful and tender truths. They
have taught us that modesty is better
than pomp, that loving kindness isbet-
tor than pride, that , all the lasting
grace and beauty of this life dwell by
the hearthstone of a quiet Christian
home. ‘ _
We thank them for the noble and
useful example they have set. ,More
than We can realize just now,'we owe
them our grateful acknowledgments
and our 'kindest thoughts. We shall
remember and regret them long after
they have forgotten us, and when Wash-
ington itself will for tliem have faded
into a nebulous haze. Their duties
and cares, the sweet lessons it is their
mission to instill, will go with them
hence. Such things belong to no lo-
cality or date, but everywhere and in
all ages, occupy the hearts and fill the
aspirations of high-minded, gentle, lov-,
ing womankind. , In Indianapolis as in
Washington—wherever they may be—
they will surround themselves with
tenderness; ‘

The claim Of Mrs. Mary Walsh for
damages for injuries alleged to have,
been received by falling on an icy side-
walk in front Of the residence of W11-
liam H. Byingtou on Belden avenue,
"on Feb. 23d, was referred to the Bor-
ough attorney. .
The Borough assessors returned their
tax lists, to the faithfulness of which
return they made oath before the Bor-
ough clerk. - . ‘
Mr. Charles Olmstead of the board
of assessors stated that the board had
been waited upon by those holding
bank stock who claimed that they were
not equitably assessed on the same as
compared with other property valua-
tions. He stated that in making as:
sessments the board had tried to ar-
rive as near as possible at present mar-
ket valuatiOns. He further said that
owners of bank stock had presented
their claims to the town board of relief
in the hope that such claim would not
be recognized, and then they would
have taken it before the courts for a
decision. A prominent attorney had
advised the granting Of the relief, as
in his judgment the plaintiff's would
have a clear case, The Borough asses-
sors in order to avoid trouble had as-
sessed at true market value, and not
at forced sales. The grand list there-
fore had been considerably swelled.
Whenthe tax of 15 mills was laid the
present condition was not looked for.
He suggested that the levy be modi-
fied, as a nine mill tax would under the
new assessment raise as much as would
a fifteen mill tax under the old style of ,
appointment.
W. H. Olmstead also a. member of
the beard Of assessors,~said that the _as-
sessments had been made “according
to law.” Thatthe beard of whom P.
W. Bates was also a member had taken
pains to look at property assessed and
had acted on their investigations in as
equitable manner as possible. . ‘

to go over the circuit after the lamps are

A question as to the right to vote
money before actually earned was
brought up. It narrowed down to the
fact that previous courts had so done,
by reason of the fact that they met but
'Once a month and the money was voted
to meet bills that might accrue during
the interim.
It was voted that a special borough
meeting be called by the Warden to be
held Wednesday March 15th, at 3
o’clock, p. m., for the purpose of re-
ducing if deemed advisable, the _tax
rate Of 15 mills not more than 9 mills,
laid January 16th, 1893, to such a rate
as such meeting shall determine, when
the tax is laid Jan. 16th, shall become
due and payable. ‘
There was some discussion relative to
the resignations Of Burgesses Vogel
and Buckley. After an opinion from
Warden Sloan that the resignations
could be taken from the table and an
election to fill the vacancies ordered,
Burgess Squire said that at the time
they were presented he moved that
they be tabled and that he now moved
that they be taken from the table and
acted upon.
On motion of Burgess Glover the res-
ignations were accepted without a neg-
ative vote.
It was then voted, that a special elec-
tion be held in the Town House in. the
borough of N orwalk,On Monday,March
20th, 1893, for the purpose of choosing
two burgesses to fill the vacancies
caused by the resignations Of William
A. Vogel and John H Buckley.
William McMullen was heard in ref-
erence to the carting of garbage. He
said he did not feel that it was just
right to be taxed for the removal Of
such garbage when others who enjoyed
the same service were not taxed .at all.
Was willing to get rid of the garbage
about his place himself, etc.
Burgess Glover then brought the
matter of. cleaning sidewalks of snow
and'ice before the board. In the dis-
cussion of the matter it was stated that
the bailiff-elect had not qualified inas-
much as he had not furnished the nec-
essary bonds attached to his taking the
office. Burgess Squire remarked that
it was next to impossible to clear some
walks Of theiricy coating and cited his
own sidewalk as among the number.
The Warden was instructed to give
publicity to the by-law in reference to
the matter by having the'same printed.
It was votedto adjourn for two weeks
or until Monday, March 20th at 8:30
o’clock p. m.
COUNCIL MEETING.
A regular meeting of the Council was
held at the Council chamber last even-
ing. Bills to the amount Of 31,100 were

roelstreets,thefother:on Fairficld avenue
near Cedar; the purchase of 500 feet of
new hose and a chart of the city hy-
drants to be placed in the Hose house,
was referred to the fire committee. Re.-
port of Councilman Volk that an elec-
tric light be placedjin front "of the
Methodist church was accepted. 3350

lamps and gas for "use of electric light
commissioners. A resolution authoriz-
ing the committee on streets to pur-
chase a steam road roller at a cost not
to exceed $4,500 was Ofl‘eredundwill

,ed to publish a statement of the ex-
penses of the city for the past year,

commissioners, which was read and

er was voted $100, and the clerk author-
ized to draw $150 in favor of the Chief

entrance to the Postofiice, Maples let
him have the snow full in the face.
This proceeding “riled” Bennett and
he grabbed for Willie’s lower limbs, in-
tending to throw him down. Maples
perceiving his intention folded his
long arms around Bennett’s neck with
crushing force, and together they fell
to the sidewalk, and rolled out into the
gutter amidst the shouts of the look-
ers on.
After a struggle of about 5 minutes,
during which the contestants made sev-
eral revolutions in the snow and water,
Bennett succeeded in getting Maples
under control, and the spectators fairly
roared. ' ‘
Maples made an effort to regain his
former position but Bennett nobly re-
sisted, and would have come out of the
battle unscathed had it not been for
Willie’s fingers which came in con-
tact with Bennett’s nose, causing the
blood to flow.
At that stage of the game Maples
cried “Enough” and Bennett arose vic-
torious. “Gee Whiz!” said Bennett,
“I made him cave.” ’Tis easily seen
that Champion Corbett has a rival and
he must look well to his laurels, if he
hopes to retain them.
OPERA HOUSE. i“

Dan Novelty company, will appear at

pearance in Meriden the Journal says:
“The panorama Of Ireland was very

applause. Between times sections of a
play called “Blunders” was presented
which served to introduce a number of
very clever people in songs, dances and
other specialties, which met with liberal
applause.”

To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
When we first installed our incandescent
service, we were compelled to make the rates
charged correspond. as nearly as possible, to
the service rendered, because, at that time,
there was no meter that could be used with
confidence that it was trustworthy and accu-
rate. '
Meters are now made which are perfect reg-
isters of the current used, and we have resolv-
ed to use them in connection with our entire
incandescent system, from and after April 1,
, 1893.
After the meters are in we propose to furnish
light during the entire twenty-four hours.
The meter rates will be 20 cents per 1,000
Watt hours, with a discount Of 10 per cent. on
all bills paid at our office oiror before the 10th
day of each month.
‘An additional discount of 10 per cent, will be
credited at the end of each twelve months, to
customers whose bills for incandescent light
exceed 9100 for that time. . ‘ .
Our superintendent, Mr. Yeaton. will give
such further information as may be desired.
