Interment in all thugs: Neutral in nothing. The Gazette has the largest cir- culation of any paper in Norwalk. and furnishes the lowest advertising rates- Pensions. The veterans are taking hold of the pension ~questionsand are expressing themselves from time to time against the abuses of the system. Farnham Post, of New York, recently passeda - resolution that: “the only veterans en- titled to pensions are those who by wounds or disabilities incurred in the service of their country are prevented from earning a living in their respec- tive callings as they might have done had such wounds or disabilities not been incurred, and whose circumStan» ces are such as to justify them in call- ing upon the country for aid or sup- port.” ~ It was further determined that the resolutions be sent to the President and to members of Congress, with a letter urging upon them to use their best endeavors to have the pension laws so revised as to make them ap- plicable only to such soldiers and sail- ors as indicated above, and to such persons as were immediately depend- ent upon them during or within ten years after the expiration of their term of enlistment, and also that all posts Of the Grand Army be urged to to take similar. action, .“to the end that the reproach may be taken away from the Grand Army, that it is a ' charity-seeking organization and a tool in the hands of the claim agents.” aOP—fl— New Blood in the Offices. The President’s announced intention not to re-appoint persons 'who held office under his former administration, says the Philadelphia Times, is in ac- cordance with the policy indicated in the selection of his Cabinet. New measures require new men. He means to make his administration a modern one and in every way up to date. The policy is sound. Where appoint- ments may be regarded as the recogni- tion of political services, it is both just and judicious not to confine them with- in anarrow circle, but in this waya larger number may be gratified. On the broader ground of an efficient public service, which is Mr. Cleveland’s chief concern, it is generally true that men who have been four years out of office andgvant to go back are less like- ly to give as good wbrk as can be ex- pected from younger and fresher men. The four years’ waiting has not been in their favor. It has been a quite usual experience under the late admin- istration that the old stagers who were reinstated were seldom able to catch up with the work that had developed during their absence. . Of course there are many exception to this rule, as Mr. Cleveland points out. There were some peculiarly effi- cient officers in various departments, whose return to the service would be a gain. And equally of course this rule has nothing to do with the retention of faithful officials who could not be dis- placed without loss. But as a general administrative policy it may be confi- dently said that in most of the appoint- ive offices that are shortly to be filled with new blood, with no Bourbon ad- mixture, will bc an advantage all around. - _ —-———-————-o .9 _ —_—___ .._.. Likely-to Pass. The bill pending in the legislature on natural oyster beds will probably be reported favorably by the committee. Representative Sherwood, of Easton, 9. member of the committee, says that the prevailing sentiment was all in favor of the “ natural growthers.” The pending bill will absolutely prevent any further encroachment on oyster. beds by the planters.and will provide for a perpetual lease to the “natural growthers” of all beds not at present staked off. The bill also provides for range monuments to be erected by the state at a.cost of $400 each. This will prevent the shifting of bouys marking the boundaries of staked 011' beds. _- ..._._.-»_-. .. ..9 .. -— They Wan’t To Fish. . There is a storm of protest at Hart- ford over the proposed bill providing a fine of $10 and costs, and a sojourn in . jail for 30 days for those persons whose fondness ot' piscatorial sport drives them to desecratc the Sabbath day. It was erroneously stated in the papers last Friday that the bill had been passed by the Senate ; on the contrary, it was only referred to the Fisheries commit- 6. The protest against its. enactment as a law comes from the poorer or work- ing class, who claim that it isa measure constituted wholly in the interests of the well-to-do people, who can afford to take a day, now and then, or a couple of them, .If need be, to indulge their pleasure in fishing or any other sport. The kickers are in earnest, and their stren' this un‘dq'btiedlv gr'cht enough to in re the den h of the bill. ‘ ' ' __ ill orwalk," 001111., Wednesday Evening, March .15, 1893.

" The Trout Fishing Outlook. The present outlook for trout fishing in Connecticut is very dubious. Not- withstanding thc fact that the previous mild winters greatly improved the fish. ing by affording the trout much open outer and food, the season just ending ' has more than counteracted these good effects. This winter numberless small streams in which the fish spawn late in the fall have frozen solidly from the bottom, thus proving fatal to the par- ent fish as Well as the spawn and fry. The larger streams have not been af- fected to such an extent, but the result of the winter of 1892 ~93 will be felt by trout fishermen for a dozen years to come, if immediate steps are not taken by the state to restock the depleted streams.’ At present the state fish hatchery puts outonl y a limited amount of eggs and fry, owing to the small appropria- tion granted for that purpose. It would prove a wise' measure, pleasing to all sportsmen and certainly not detriment- al to the interests of the community at large, if the legislature would at least double the appropriation for the state fish hatchery the present season—— Palladium.

The part of Rora (abbrevia- tion of Aurora) offers her every oppor« tunity to bring into play the versatility for which Miss Akerstrom is so justly celebrated and the company supporting her having been especially selected en- sure a very even and commendable performance. Each act is beautifully illustrated with special scenery and every care that experience could sug- gest has been taken. _ We must not forget in the enumera- tionof the many features of this most excellent performance, , Miss Aker- strom’s most potent factors, her trained horse Gyp and her pack of fox hounds.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 15.—Harri- son Prentice, aged 70 ye are, married Mrs. Mary Christie yesterday morning for the second time. This is the fifth time he has been married. Three weeks ago he inquired for a marriage _ license at his fourth wife’s funeral, and hurried from the cemetery to the City Clerk’s ofiice with his prospective bride. Prentice has some money. two wives were widows. Mrs. Prentice No. 2 was widow Blackmer. Prentice found fault with her because she wanted too much sugar in her tea and was other- wise extravagant. In October, 1888, Pren- tice enticed Mrs. Christie away from her husband, a crippled harness maker, and His first fled to Chicopee Falls, where they were married. Mr. Christie, deserted and Mrs. Prentice No. 2, also deserted, appealed to the Superior Court to get back their - re- :upecdve'wife and husband. At the trial, however, Christie pleaded in his wife’s behalf. She was placed on probation. Soon after Mrs. Prentice No 2 died, and on December 15, 1891, Lizzie Gilbert of West. Springfield became Mrs. Prentice No 4. She died last month, and it was at her funeral that Prentice created a sense- tion by announcing his intended mar- riage. He became frightened at the storm 01 indignation that followed, and retired -to the three room house which he owns, with the Mrs. Christie who has since served as his housekeeper. The circumstances of the death of Mrs. Prentice NO. 4 were so peculiar that the police investigated them. M‘rs. Prentice died iugrcat agony after a half hour’s illness, the symptoms being of arsenical poisoning. Curiously enough Mr. Christie had died suddenly over two weeks before. An autopsy was held after Prentice’s death, but no chemical examination was made. When foul play was rumored it was too late to exhumotbe bodies. Since living under the sameroof Prentice and Mrs. Christie have been closely'watched by the authorities. Tiring of the sur- veillance, Prentice went to. the City Clerk’s yesterday with the woman, who Confessed to 52 summers and four mar- riages. A marriage license was obtained, and yesterday thecerem‘ony was per- formed. Prentice still sheds tears at mention of Mrs. Prentice No. 4. T0 HARRY HER. GOAGHMAN. Miller to Take a.
