'Wait For the FaCts.
With Patent Commissioner Simonds’
case, undoubtedly in mind, the Wash-
ington Post makes the following very
just and sensible observations:
“ Shortly after the inauguration of
the present administration the Post
took occasion tow'arn the heads of de-
partments to beware of the profession-
nl'scandal mongers. This is an excel-
lent time to repeat the advice. It is a
very easy matter to start scandalous re-
ports and‘ there are a great many per-
sons who. engage 'inlthis sort of wOrk
for selfish reasons, but . it is too fre-
quently the case that grave injustice is
done by a tee ready acceptance of ac-
cusations of this character.
-‘ We hear of a great many investiga-
tions being inaugurated by the new ad-
ministration. There can be no reason-
able objection to this. Whenever a
public official is charged with miscons
duct he should demand an investiga-
tion. Failure to do this is very proper-
Iv accepted as evidence of guilt. But
when charges are made against officials
and ex—ofiicials it is manifestly‘unfair
to accept the declarations of their ace?
cuscrs without even the formality of
an investigation. Personal character
is entitled to better treatment,_ and the
' representatives of a great government
cannot afford to encourage tin-indis-
criminate' onslaught upon its present
and former servants. .
To advocate a suspension Of public
opinion in the cases of men charged
with misconduct is not always a popu-
lar thing to do, but it is the proper and
fair course, The Government employes
who hope to profit by smirching the
characters of their former oflicial asso4
ciates have been very busy, and. there
' are quite a, number of investigations
under way' and on the’ tapis. Until'they
produce something besides generalities
it will be just as well for the public to
withhold its judgment.” ' '
In addition to the foregoing recom-
mendations of the 'Post, the GAZETTE,
wOuld suggest to Commissioner Sey-
mour that he carefully, review all the
’ testimony in the Bell telephone case be-
fore the 2United' States Supreme
Court, wherein the alleged .Draw-
baugh invention is pretty well set forth.
The GAZETTE would also suggest that
Commissioner Seymour 2make inquires
and ascertain if Church & Church, who
make the charges against Mr. Simonds,
became the attorneys for£Daniel Draw;
baugh through one, Lysander Hill, a
2 former associate of the Messrs. Church.
If we are not mistaken the records in
the Bell case will» show that Hill‘was
one of the prime financial movers in
bringing the alleged Drawbaugh in-
vention into litigation with ”the Bell ,
telephone; The records in the great
telephone trial will develop some" des-
perate attempts on the part of rivals tO'
smirch the Bell» patent, and Commis-
sioner Seymour will do well to keep a
sharplook-out when investigating tele-
phone charges; 2 ' .

false pretenc‘es frOm a person known as

was to get change from Miss Mead for

that was lost while on route to Hayti

to make some damaging statements

All Water Meters Incorrect.
EDITOR GAZETTE :——Mr. F. A. Bishop
of Bristol in this state, is the inventor
of the best and most accurate water
meter yet devised. He is moreover a
thoroughly scientific and practical hy-
draulic engineer and yet, he avers that
no water meter-ever has been, or ‘in his
opinion, ever will be, constructed so as.
to measure the flow of water through
it with exact accuracy and, that this is
the reason that water. .-meters have al-
ways been discarded aTnd thrown out,
wherever tried. Water is so different
from gas, in that the shape, pressure,
indentations, smooth “or rough surfaces
or rust in the pipes, destroy. all accuracy-
of measurements. New York in the
Tweed regime squandered hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the purchase of
useless and utterly unreliable Water
meters, tons of which were sold for old
iron, as our foolish Borough purchases
No more boyish‘ scheme
could have been resorted to and your

was superb, just to the point and is

and the Womaanas also sufiering from
burns which did not appear serious.
The child died in a very short time.

Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were at work in'

covered the peddler was seen running

MedicalExaminer Tuttle thinks the _
little girl entered the house and, dis-
turbing a tete-a-tete of the peddler and
domestic, the former struck the girl
and then set fire to her clothes to con-
ceal his crime. The medical examiner
thinks that the peddler also set fire' to
the curtains down stairs in order to
make it appear that the fire started
from the first floor. The child’s feet

He is employed at a boarding house
“ Maria,” the-cook, employed at the
same place, was coming down stairs
Smith called to her from his room and
asked her to summon a physician as he
had met with an accident whereby he
had broken his leg.‘ She awoke Mr.
Lee who summoned Dr. Baldwin at
the request Of Mr. Smith.-
On the arrival of the physician an
juries, and he found that‘while Smith
had not broken his leg he had sustained
injuries of an alarming character, and
it was decided that a consultation of
physicians be held.
Smith was made as comfortable as
possible. _In the meantime Dr. Greg-
ory was called and shortly after his ar-
rival, Smith’s wounds were dressed.
Oneof them of minor importance be-
ing a severe contusion on his side.
It was learned that he had fallen
from‘a window in the rear of the build-
ing into an enclosed-area way. ,
Smith is deaf but after a time replied
to written questions. He says that he
got up in the night and going to the
window of his room, which is two
stories high from the ground floor, ac-
cidentally fell out into the area way,
striking on a beer-skid and several
cases of , bottles.
Mr. Lee does not believe his story;
in fact his every action after the acci-
dent shows the improbability of the
same, for instead of going to a rear
door which was bolted on the inside,
and ioing up the stairs and alarming
Mr. so he climbed up with the aid of
gas, water and sewer pipes to the din-
ing room window, reaching which he
got into the dining room and from
thence went to his room, and to bed
where he kept quiet until morning
when he called to the cook. .
,Mr. Lee is of the opinion that Smith,
for the purpose Of theft, climbed out
of the dining room window, missed his
footing and fell, and on landing struck
in a‘sitting posture on a large glass
bottle causing a frightful wound to
himself. Considering the nature of
the wound it is almost marvelous that
he was able to climb back and get to
his room.
Mr. Lee has been in the habit of
leaving money in his cashdrawer, and
has missed several sums therefrom.
Saturday night he took the money and
placed it in' another room: He' is loth
to accuse Smith of being dishonest,
but" had been suspicious- of" him for
sometime and nowb'elieves that his-i
suspicions were not groundless. '

Painless Dentistry.
It was but a short time ago that it
’would be difficult to imagine anything
more blissful" than pulling a tooth from
the jaw of a dentist, but now the den-
tist has it on the patient and teeth are
extracted without a desire on the part
of the sufferer to get out of the dental
chair and wipe up the floor with the
extractor. ALGAZETTE representative
after having spent a day and night of
misery hied himself to the office of Dr.
C..W. Many on Main Street, one day
last week and requested the genial doc-
tor to relieve him of his aching molar.
The G. R. thought he noticed a satis-
fied smile tickle the corners of the doc-
tor’s mouth as though he thought the
time had arrived when he could get
even with a newspaper reporter.
When requested to remove the offend-
ing tooth without pain, if he could, the
doctor produced a peculiar little instru-
ment which he proceeded to fill‘from a
bottle on his dental cabinet. He then
approached the reporter and after re-
questing him to open his mouth pro-
ceeded to inject the mysterious fluid
around the tooth with a sensation simi-
teeth. With another wicked smile he
approached the cabinet and placed, the
fluid-containing instrument away in
its case at the same time picking up a
lance. The reporter was now begin-
ning to get interested, but his thoughts
were suddenly interrupted by the doc-
tor telling him to again Open his mouth
and if he wanted to yell to do so as
loud as he could. With this remark
the-lance was inserted andthe» gums
cut, but strange to say not a particle of
pain was experienced. As soon as this
operation was performed the deadly
forceps were-brought out and exhibi-
ted to the patient reporter who was
nerving himself for the awful ordeal.
The doctor after opening his forceps
closed them about the: offending tooth
and “presto” that aching member was
exhibited as another trophy of the won-
derful discovery of painless dentistry.
The GAZETTE man was delighted with
molar was extracted without a particle
of pain. and to all those who suffer
from toothache he recommends that
they call on Dr. Many and-have their
teeth extracted without pain by his new
and wonderful method of painless den-
tistry. '

- Captured. .
George L. Wood of Danbury, who
was wanted for stealing a horse was
captured by Chief Dann on Saturday,.
in New Canaan. .
Wood, who is about 20 years old, on
Wednesday. morning hired a bicycle
from a Danbury firm and wheeled to
Bethel. Later in the day he rode into
Nichols stable and said that he wanted
to hire a team to drive to Bedding.
Mr. Nichols let'him have aturnout val-
ued at $300. ~Wood left the bicycle and
drove away, and up to the time of his
arrest, Nichols did not know of the
whereabouts of his property.
He came to N orwalk and notified the
police and. had postal cards containing
a description of the horse printed an
sent to the surrounding towns. ‘ Chief
Dann than hired a team and proceeded
to New Canaan where he learned a
man having a turnout answering the
description had been seen, and that
the man was peddling a patent rubber ,
cement. '
The clue was a good One, and the
chief was not long in getting on to
Wood’s trail and soon had him under
arrest and the stolen property in his
possession.
It is said that Wood has previously
borne a good reputation, and his friends
do not believe that he intended steal!
ing the horse. If such had been his
intention it seems very strange that he
did not drive out of the State as he had
every opportunity of doing. Thishe
did not attempt to do. He put the
horse up at night inabarn at New
Canaan, and paid for its keeping.
He was placed in the station-house
until this morning, at which time Chief
Dann went to Stamford to consult with
to the case.‘ '
.To the officers here the prisoner gave
.his name as Mortimer Weed. He was
taken to Bethel this afternoon for a
hearing, although forsome unexplained
reason he does not care to‘ go there.- '
Young Weed or Wood does not have
the appearance of being a “bad man,”
and there are those who do not believe
that he can be convicted of horse steal-
ing. .

Use For Banana Skins.
. Do not throw banana skins on the
Sidewalk. Horses are exceedingly fond
of the tender, juicy skin,and will never
refuse to‘ take one. There are always
_horses standing along the curbstonef
and it. is much easier to pass-the skin to
‘One of them than to look, for, an. ash-
barrel or asewervopenina. _, . . .

Officer Doherty of station 1 New Ha-

_- J.-S. Dwight. a member of the sen-
iorclass at Yale College, was arrested
Saturday, charged with being the’
author of the mysterious thefts which-
—have occured lately at the college.
D_Wight admitted his guilt, but as it is

record has been very good, it is thought
he will escape with a light, punishment.
