Veterans to Veterans.

The courtesies extended to the mem-
bers of the Grand Army who visited
the battlefields about Richmond dur-
ing the late encampment by Lee Post
of Confederate Veterans of that city
were handsomely acknowledged, says
the Washington Post, by the presenta—
tion to the hOSpital of the Confederate
Home at Richmond, of a completely
furnished ward in that institution. It
was a testimonial of peculiar appropri-
ateness and sincere fraternal regard
from the Washington Grand Army
committee to the Confederate veterans
of Richmond, upon whom the support
of the home, in a great measure, de-
volves. ,

Such an occasion could not fail to be
both of tender interest and patriotic sig-
nificance and it will be seen from the

 

proceedings as elSewhere printed that it

was so regarded and appreciated by the
participants. It was not merely'an inter-
change of co urtesies ; it was a comming-
ling of heart with heart, of hOpe with
hope, of all that is brave and true in
our common brotherhood, across the.
shadowy traces of what was once a
bloody chasm of Separation.
The gift was bestowed in the spirit of
a noble humanity and accepted in the
same spirit. To the disabled veterans
of the lost cause it will come -as a
specially consecrated benefaction, in
that it comes from the hands of those
to whose cause' the God of Battles
gave the victOry.

Sons of St. George.

A little over one year‘ ago a few Eng-
lishmen assembled together in Nor-
walk and organized Welcome Stranger
Lodge, No. 364, Order of Sons of St.
George, and it was a red letter day
among the small colony of Englishmen
residing in town;

The Lodge, though only established
for such a short time, is on a solid
foundation and in a very good financial
condition and is steadily growing in
membership, and several new names
have been received for initiation.

Since the institution of the Lodge it
has given several entertainments which
have proved very successful. And this

s especially true of the fair and bazar
given by the ladies of the order, the
proceeds of which Were presented to
the Lodge, and added a neat little sum
to the treasury. The aims and Object
of the soc1etyis relieving the distressed,
caring for the: sick and helping the
Widows and orphans—merciful and no-
ble work. There is a burial fund gov-
erned by the by-laws of the respective
districts, and provision made for the
family of a deceased brother’s family.

The Order is composed of English
born, their sons or their grandsons, on
the paternal or maternal side without
regard as _to their own birth-place. '

. Says a member : " The order is not
English, you know, (except as regards
ancestry )—on the contrary it is thor-
oughly American. If we thought it
would make you less an' American to
be a member of the order, 'we would
not ask you to join. To make better
citizens is our aim, and we deem it our
duty to become citizens of this the
country of our adoption. There are
hundredsin N orwalk who are qualified
to make this the grandest lodge in Con-
necticut.” . :

Right You Are

Printers’ Ink- says that it is not safe
to concludethat penny papers are not
good advertising mediums: It is possi-
ble’ to roll up a bigger circulation in
shorter time for a penny paper than
one sold for more money, and those
papersfrequently become the leaders
in the cities where they are issued. _ _

Circulation is what the advertiser
wants and the GAZETTE is right at the
top.

St. Patrick Carnations.

The carnations are of pale green hue
and are attracting a great deal of atten-
tion. Many suppose that they grow so
and are of some rare variety. They
were originally White buds and are col-
ored by the New York dealers. When
the blossoms are cut the stems are
placed into a green chemical prepara-
tion-Often a more solution of sulphate
of cepper commonly known as blue
vitriol. The colored liquid is drawn
through the stem by capiiary attraction
and is diffused through the tender
petals of the blossom.

Mrs. Hovvard’s BodyéfieOOvered§
Brief mention of thei'finding of the

body of Mrs. Anna Farrell, wife "inf.

William Howard, was made in the col;
umns of the GAZETTE yesterday.

As stated at that time the body was
found by George Barnes and Harry
Brown, in the water at the corner of
the pier back of the-stores of the
Holmes, Keeler & Selleck company, at
which point the water is very deep.

Mr. Barnes had been “tongsing”
about the vicinity for so edays, but
yesterdaysfternoonconfiI ‘ his search
close to where the body was finally
found. When" he firsacaught on the
body it slipped from theI‘rake and sank.
He then secured a better hold on the
body with the rake and. succeeded in
getting it into the eat. It had be-
com'eentaugled in t 6 replies. It was
at once recognized as {being that of
Mrs.- Howard, and was placed on the
shore near by and soon after taken to
Undertaker Kavanagh’s rooms, and
from thence to the heme of the de-
ceased on Ellwood Place. ‘ j

Medical Examiner Burke viewed the
remains, and he found a slight contus-

ion On the woman’s head and small-

abrasions of the skin on one of her
hands. The face was in no wise in-
jured._ 3., , _

The deceased lost by; death,.aII few
months ago, a little bofi'fij-whom she al-
most idolized, and thelgllx'iss preyed on
her mind to such an :g'extent that a
watchful/ eye was kept upon her. Sun-

day evoning last she wefitiout into the

yard, since which time-“a vain Search
had been kept up to learn of her where-
abouts. .‘

The recovery of the remains brings
to an end the sad suspense of her
friends, who had hoped that she would
be found alive. .

Much sympathy is expressed for the
bereaved husband, in his terrible afflic-
tion.

Mr. Howard was in New Haven at
the time of the finding'ot' his wife’s
body, but returned be Ire atelegram
announcing the fact re ‘ bed him.

The funeral will be field from St.
Mary’s church Moods .i'morn’ing at 9
o’clock. , . "

Mr. Howard wishes us to extend his
heartfelt thanks to all who so freely as-
sisted by word and deed in the search
ior his wife, and for their many kindly
acts since the recovery of the body,
and for the sympathy extended to him
in his sari bereavement .

' OPERA HOUSE.

Manager Adams has made arrange-
ments for the company of Ida Siddons
and a great burlesque company in “His
Nibbs and His Nobbs.” It is announ-
ced that Miss Siddons will positively
appear with this company, which will
give a performance Tuesday night of
next week. The great feature of “His
Nibbs and His Nobbs” is said- to be
their rendition of the “Down on the
Bowery” scene, of which they claim to
be the originators. The new-old fash-
ion fad, the hoopskirt, is introduced in
this act, to the merrimcnt of all..

ULLIE AKEBSTROM.

When the public see the name of
Ullie Akerstrom in big red letters all
over the town, they immediately begin
to scan the daily papers to see what
new play she has to present, for it has
come to be a settled _fact that Ullie
Akerstrom always brings something

new.

Miss Akerstrom has been gifted with
the power to discern what the public
want and she uses that power to the
greatest advantage. She watches her
audience and when she sees that some
one thing pleases them more than an-
other, she makes note of it: conse-
quently in her new play “ Miss Rom,”
she has embodiedIall the ideas that
have come to her in this way. There
is just enough of the emotional to
please and not tire. The situations for
provoking mirth are the bri htest pos-
sible, and the singing and dancing of
such a high order, that her audiences
are never tired of showing their appro-
bation. After the first scene in Act lst,it
is a case of Ha, Ha, Ha, until the close
of the performance. Go and see Ullie
Akerstrom in “Miss Rora.” You will
not be disappointed. '

The Norwaik Band Concert.

There was a large attendance at the
vocal and instrumental entertainment
given under the auspices of Dwyer’s
City of Norwalk band, in the Opera
House last evening. The selections by
the band were given _in a splendid man-
ner, and were heartily encored. The
mandolin and guitar duet by the Perry
Brothers was a gem, and the lephone
and Sleigh Bell solos by the same art-
ists were heartily applauded. The
clarionet solos by J. W. Steegmuller ac-
companied by Miss Emma Dossenbach
on the piano, were greatly appreciated
and received deserved recognition.
Prof. Heynan’s orchestra played in
their usual splendid manner. Mrs. W.
J. Tracey sang two solos, “ To the Sun-
shine” and “The Cruskeen Lawn,”
that met a responSive chord in the
hearts of all present, and showed the
lady to be a rarely Ifine songstress.
The Jerome May Banjo club, as is al-
ways the case wherever they appear,
won hearty plaudits. A quartette com-
posed of Mrs. W. J. Tracey, Miss Kate
Sengelin and Messrs. J ohn’Wehle and-
Bernard Tully rendered some excellent
selections in an admirable manner.
The crinoline dance by Hamilton and
Littleton was a taking novelty. The
band is to be congratulated on the suc-
cess of a really meritorious entertain-
ment. - .

. In_the House, the committee on Ed-
.‘ucation reported adversely on a bill to
increase the number of school weeks
from 35 to 40. The bill was rejected. '

The Judiciary committee reported
favorably on a bill making a technical
amendment to Section 2,154, relating
to the dividing of school districts, and
a substitute bill relating to suits on
bills relating to the prosecution of vio-
lators of the fish laws; relative to the
will of James Crocker of Winsted and
compelling sextons of cemeteries to
open graves between 8 a. m. and 5 p.
m. The bills were rejected.

In the Senate, reports were made :

Favorable on resolutions authoriz-
ing Greenwich borough, and also the
Meeting House School District in
Greenwich to issue bonds.

Favorable on- resolutiOn paying sal-
ary of Insurance Commissioner Sey-
mour. ‘

Resolutions were passed allowing
John C. Eno to take land on the Snug-
atuck river ; amending the Winsted bo-
rough charter so as to provide fora
sewer system; amending charter of
the Daubury Mutual Fire Insurance
company; amending charter of the
Stratford Land and Improvement com-

pany.

In the Senate a long debate resulted
on the bill repealing the law of 1889,
which requires the state to furnish rail-
road transportation to members and
prohibits members from accepting rail-
road free passes. The state has already
expended or contracted to expend $200,-
000 under the law. The railroad com-
pany are in favor of the repeal of the

aw. ,

Mr. Houlilian, chairman of the Rail-
road committee, declared the ]aw to be
unconstitutional and said the commit—
tee would later on- report a measure
adequately providing for transporta-
tion of members.

Mr. Holden favored repeal of the law
after the present Assembly had ad-
journed, as the Comptroller has already
made contracts with the railroads for
transportation of members. Mr. Cleve-
land dwelt On the inadequacy of the
pay of members who make great sacri-
fices to attend to public business.

The repealing act was finally tabled
with two amendments ofl'ered by Mr.
Root and Mr. Holden. ‘

Senators Milner and Jones were ap-
pointed respectively Senate members

Secretary Morton Intends. to
Discharge .a Veteran. {

News 'of a Day at the Natibn’s
. Capital. ‘

WASHINGTON, March 18.—Secretary of
Agriculture Morton is about to make an
appointment in his department whic
Will'causea sensation. ’ - -

The veteran statistician of the depart-
ment, Alfred Dodge, who gives to the
country the monthly crop report, will be
retired, and his place will be filled by

son of Michigan.

The appointment has been fully'Idecided.
upon, and it will be Ofllcially announced
the early part of next week. It is an ap«
pointment wholly, within the province of
the Secretary of Agriculture. It will be
that of a chief of one of his departmental
bureaus. .

Notwithstanding this fact, Mr. Morton
has regarded the appointment of such
importance that he has submitted the
papers to President Cleveland, in order
to have the President’s approval of the
change. ' -

The head of the Government Statisti-
cal Department exercises more influence
upon the money affairs of the country than
any other 'officers of the Government,
excepting the Secretary of the Treasury.
The monthly crop report issued at 3
o’clock on the 10th of each month fixes
the price of wheat, cotton, corn and all
other agricultural products.

The Produce Exchanges of New York,
' Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore and else-
where nre controlled to a large extent by
the information given in these monthly
crop reports. At critical stages of the
market the Government report has been
eagerly awaited, and has been at times
the foundation of fortunes. The great;
est care is exercised to prevent the sta-
tistician’s report from being prematurely
made public. '

So eager have been the Boards of Trade
to get advance information of this Gov-
ernment report that they have at times
built telegraph stations at the gateway of
the Agricultural Departmept and hired
swift bicycle riders to carry the report to
the telegraph operator. Under these cir-
cumstances it can be understood that the
statistician a! the Government is a most‘
important factor in the commercial mar-
kets of the country. .

Statistician Dodge has frequently been
assailed, but has always been able to es-
tablish his integrity. Notwithstanding
the opportunities he has had, and might
have used, for accumulating great riches,
he will retire from the office a. poor man.

Paul Neumann, Envoy of the deposed
Queen Liliuokalani, and. W. R. Castle of
the Hawaiian Commission have started
on a race for the Pacific coast in the hope
of reaching San Francisco before the de-
parture of Commissioner Biount, who is
now expected to sail fer Honolulu on the
revenue cutter Rush. .

Mr. Neumann is probably the ablest
man inithe Queen’s party and is anxious
to reach the islands in time to serve the
green to the best of his ability during
t e investigation which Col. Biount is to
make into the condition of affairs in Ha.
wail. Mr. Neumann took the 7.40 train
for Chicago last night and was accom-

anied only by his little Japanese Valet,
are. If he loses no time he will reach
San Francisco in season to catch the Rio.

Commissioner Castle, who left Wash-
ington yesterday afternoon, has a few
hours’ start of Neumann, but will proba-
bly lose in Chicago the time he has
gained. It is possible that both men may
make the journey from Chicago to San
Francisco on the same train.

Mr. William C. Whitney, who is some-
where 1n the West' Indies on a yachting
trip, is expected in Washington about
April 15. Mr. Whitney’s friends say that
he talks of giving up a large part of his
present interests and partially retiring
from business on his ‘ return from his
present vacation.

 

The battle ship New York will have a
preliminary triii by her builders on the
2101’. inst. Sh’g will be taken out to sea
for three or four days and put through a
kries of tests 'to ascertain the working of
her engines, to enable the constructoiyo

Josiah Quincy, First A531stantI Secre-
tary of State, made his first appointment
yesterday. It was that a: Dean F. Curry
of Albion, Orleans county, N. Y., to be
commercial agent at Yarmouth, Nova
Scotia. A salary of $1,500 and fees is at-
tached to the place.
