THEFAVORITE HOME PAHEH.
Illlltltllltllllll innings: Neutral lll noting.
\The Gazette has the. largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertising
rates-
Bad Borough Streets,
The .GAzETTE has been deluged for
weeks past with complaints at the bad
condition of the Borough highways,
and the worst part of it is—that these
complaints are justified. “‘
*A Suggestion.
The GAZETTE is an independent news-
‘ paper, and not being bound by party
ties it has no fear of theparty lash when
it “speaks out in meeting,” as it were.
For several weeks the press of the
country, and more especially the Demo-
cratic press, has been teeming with the _
pension question. The purging of the
roll has been dished up for breakfast,
warmed over for‘ dinner, and served
cold for" supper, but the GAZETTE has
failed to observe in these discussions
any reference to the ex-Commission-
er of Pensions, John C. Black,who oc-
cupied the pension office under Mr.
Cleveland’s first administration. Black
received $5000 a year as Commissioner
of Pensions and also drew $100 amonth
pension, for being a “mental and physi-
cal wreck.” As it WOuld be impossible
for a mental and physical wreck to per-
form the laborious duties of that large
office the pension was evidently ob-
tained more out of sympathy than mer-
it, and as Black is a member-elect of
the nextCongress and will again draw .
$5000 from the government, we would
suggest to the Hon. Hoke Smith that
the purging begin at once upon the
name of John C. Black.
The World’s Fair on Sunday.
Yesterday’s, and. the expected last,
open Sunday of the expdsition, did not
show any improvement upon other Sun-
days in point of attendance, although
all receipts Were to be devoted to fire-
men sufferers from the fatal ColdStor-
age 'conflagration. Rev. L. P. Mercer
preached a sermon and the Apollo Club
sang the hymns.
A large majority of the World’s Fair
‘ directors decided last Friday that after
yesterday the gates of the exposition
shall be closed to the public Sunday.
But this, action, it appears, does not
finally settle the question. A tempo-
rary injunction obtained several weeks
ago, compelling the gates to be kept
open, still stands in the way. The vote
to close was based on commercial and
not on religious reasons. The Sunday
receipts had dwindled, and it was urged
that it "did not pay. From a merely
commercial point of view, it is likely
that the Exhibition grounds might be
closed on Sunday withoutloss ; but from
every other point of view, in the minds
of many clergyman and pious laymen,
the loss would be great. The observ-
ance of Sunday at the World’s Fair
has been in itself a really impressive
and elevating exhibition. ,
It would be hard to imagine a more
ideal embodiment of the highest intel-
lectual conception of the day of rest,
than was witnessed in Jackson Park
Sunday The noble buildings rising
out of the blue water and the lovely
green park, must have elevated the
thoughts of the dullest mind. The
machinery was stilled; the official build-
ings were closed: the petty trading
generally was stopped, and the whole
commercial aspect of the Fair was for
this day obliterated. But the wondrous
beauty of the scene was there. and as
the crowd strolled by the great colon-
nades and through the galleries hung
with the highest achievements of art,
or looked out over the azure surface
- of the great lake, there could have been
no thought among them all, if they
were capable of thought, but cf peace
and gratitude and devOtion. ,
To one Who has witnessed this sight,
the wretched, ignorant chatter about a
“ European Sunday ” and about “turn-
ing the Fair into a beer garden” is,
says Col. McClure, mostexasperating. '
Perhaps if there were mere of the
“beer garden” about it the Fair would
be more popular On Sunday with the
Chicago crowd ; but its purpose is not
to make money, but to educate and ele-
vate, and there is no aspect of it more
instructive or elevating than that which
it actually presents on a fine Sunday
afternoon. It is a lesson in the profit-
able employment of the day that many
good people greatly need, and if it
were only for the refining influence on
thepopulation of Chicago and the re-
gion tributary, it would be worth while
to keep theFair open on Sunday even
at a pecuniary loss.
Rev.» T. De Witt Talmage earnestly
days as a foil to the vile dens open all
about Chicago on Sunday, and whose
proprietors are the most. clamorous for
its close, and also because of itsChris-
tianizing influences upon vast multi-
tudes who could not be induced to enter
a church on Sunday. , '
Rev. Dr. Bartlett, cf Washington’s
principal. Presbyterian church, after
visiting the Fair, most earnestly advo-
cated keeping. its gates open on Sun-
day. Said he, “fill every inch of space
in every church in Chicago, and then
you have one hundred thousand people
left to roam the streets and fill the sa-
loons and viler concert halls.” If the
managers will stop all mechanical ace
tivities, as has heretofore been done on
Sundays, continue theyery beneficial
religious exercises,and-fireduce the ad-
mission one-half, vastfnumbers of «the
poor of Chicago Will1 have the Gospel
preached to them as they never heard
it before. - ‘ - 'r'

.r'l‘here is much excitement in Bridge-
port over the report that Fred. Bullen,
until Saturday half owner of the new
Windsor Hotel, had skipped out and
left his creditors to the tune of $18,000.
' It was announced on Saturday that
the hotel had been sold to‘ Oliver C.
Smith, of the firm. of Smith & Egge,
and that he had just bought Bullen’s'in-
terest in the house for $10,000, havmg
previously acquired the other half,
owned by Daniel Thompson.
As soon as it was learned that Bullen
had left town the hotel was attached
for $10,000 by Sheriff Fenelon on a
writ sworn out by E. 'P.‘Jones.
Mr. Jones said that when the hotel
was opened he advanced Messrs. Bullen
3: Thompson $5,000 in cash, taking as
security a chattel mortgage for that
amount on the furniture of the place.
Besides furnishing the money Mr. Jones
bought a great deal of the stock and
furniture of the place.
Fred. Bullen is one of the best known
sporting men 'in Connecticut and has
many friends in Norwalk who Will be
greatly surprised to hear of his sudden
disappearance. It is said that he was
driven to Fairfield Saturday morning
after the sale, and there. took a train
for New York. His wife and child did
not accompany him. It is also said
that besides the money received from
the sale of his interest to Mr. Smith,
he took a large sum of .money which
should have been used in paying the
bills of the hotel. _.
Mr. Jones declares that he Will use
every effort in his power to bring Bul-
len to justice and will not rest easy un-
til he is incarcerated for embezzle-
ment. Bullen is supposed to be in

E. J. HILL.
“S. A. Masters and Thomas Wadson
arrived in New York yesterday on
board the steamer Orinoco from Ber-
muda. They are members cf the House
of Assembly in Bermuda, and have
come here to endeavor to. have the tar-
iff on potatoes and onions reduced.
They expect to go to Washington in a,
few days, when their plans are com-
pleted. They had little _to say about
their mission, except that in 1892, under
the McKinley law, the amount of duty
paid on imports into this country from
Bermuda was $15,000 more than Ber-
muda’s entire tariff revenue. The duty
on. potatoes is about 60 cents a barrel
and that on onions about 35 cents a
bushel. . This is considered by them to
be too high, and they want the duty re-
duced so that they can have a better
market for their potatoes and onions.”

Unfounded Rumor. -
. Much excitement was caused, in Win-

gained conSiderable currency and
which was to the effect that the Win-

the Belden avenue crosswalks Saturday
a voter of the McMullen ward came

Hanlon to a Long Island grocer the
other day. “Such a thing as absolute
purity is impossible. We do our best,
however. For .instance, John threw-

cause it was discovered that one of our
workmen had carelessly made a chalk-
mark on the inside of the can before

Lost Her Grip.
Mre. Mcry E. Boynton, of Brooklyn,
who is Visiting friends in Greenfield
Hill came to Norwalk Saturday after-
noon. She had a satchel and some other
parcels in her hand, and as she wished
to make some calls and did not care
to be encumbered with the satchel she
engaged a lad to take it to the “corner
drug store” and leave it there until
called for. Somehow. instead of doing
as directed, the boy left the satchel at
Vogel’s-druo store, which is also on a
corner. When the owner called at
Hale’s she was informed that no such
article had been left there. She then
secured the aid of Chief Dann,thinking
the boy had stolen the satchel. She
gave a pretty good description of the
boy, and the Chief proceeded to search
him up, but did not find him, he how-
ever succeeded in locating the missing
property, and the woman was very pro-
fuse in her. thanks to the oflicer for the
return of the same.

Very True. '
None of the reports which have been
printed of the elopement of a Stam-
ford man and a Norwalk girl gives us
the name of the Lewisboro minister
who performed the ceremony. If I
was the father of the child, I should
have an account to settle with that in-~
dividual which might interfere with his
conduct of religious services in the im-
mediate future. But he is not the only
minister living on the border-line of
New York State who must shoulder re-
sponsibility for the unhappy results of
some of these runaway marriages. It
is all very well for them to give the ex-
cuse that readily suggests itself——" If I
didn’t marry . them, somebody else
would,”-—but that is pretty shallow.
The law may permit ministers in New
York State to make wives of children
without the knowledge of their parents,
but there is a rule of decent society-
which ministers cannot violate without
suffering serious consequences—Rip-

Mrs. Gilbert Makes Another At-
— tempt to Commit Suicide.
Threw Herself Under the Cars at
New London.
Mrs. William Gilbert of. East Nor-
walk, has been reported to chief of
police Dunn as missing. The'GAZETTE
on_ Saturday. spoke of her' strange
actions on Riverside avenue the day
before and of her being taken home in
a hack by Officer June, and also of the
fact that she was up town again on
Saturday morning and the GAZETTE
suggested that it would be advisable to
keep her under surveillance.’ That this
adv1ce was not heeded is evident from
the request made to the police to locate
her, A press dispatch says that on the
arrival of the 6:49 train in New London
Sunday evening from New York, a
gray-haired woman, well-dressed and
apout fifty-five years of age, alighted ‘
and soon after made several attempts
to throw herself under the train when
it started from the depot. She was re-
strained by an oflicer and taken to the
police station and locked up. ‘ At times
she appeared to be insane, but she
talkedrationally at times and seemed
to be in her right mind. She refuses
to tell her name or anything about her-
self and .when asked anything about
herself Will only reply “ I didn’t say.”
She had about $10 in money, several
valuable rings and a gold watch, as
well as three pairs of gold rimmed eye-
glasses. She was to-day removed to
the almshouse until something can be
learned as to her identity. From her
remarks it is inferred that she has been
under .the care of a doctor for some
time; The trainmen say that she
boarded the train at New Haven and
that she tried to throw herself off, just
outside of New London; while the
train was moving at the rate of 'twenty
miles an hour. The description is that
of Mrs. Gilbert, above mentioned.
What the‘ People Say:
That the Trolley is " in it."
That it is just the ticket for babies
and invalids.
. That a round-trip evening ride on it
is the cheapest and best method of
cooling off and getting fresh air in
one’s lungs before retiring.
That those who were the worst kick-
ers at first, are now its most enthusi-
astic friends and patrons, and insist
that it has come to stay.
That the managers should grease the
corrugated tracks at the curves, and
furnish gentler toned gongs on the
fare-registers, so that the creaking at
curves and the ear-splitting-Vrcgister
bells,’ may cease to rasp sensitive
nerves.
That the rule should be enforced that
all smoking by passengers must be
confined to the last seats at the rear
of the cars, and not as most smokers
seem‘to suppose, on the first two or
three seats at the front of the cars, and
thus seriously annoy passengers on all
the rest of the car, who hate tobacco.
That the nice young men who ride
on the Trolley, should be prohibited
from giggling every time they see a
lady passenger frantically ‘wrestling and
struggling to find'her pocket. They
can’t all be expected to tie up the nickel
in the end of their handkerchiefs or
carry the dirty coin in their mouth.
True, they act as if their clothes were
on fire, but why laugh at it ? Strange
as it may seem, every change of style
makes it harder for a woman to find
her pocket, and gallantry demands
that we men pity and not laugh at
them. As for the ladies, they say that
just now it is not so much a matter of
finding a pocket as of finding some-
thing in it. There is one pocket the
average married woman generally can
discover-her husband’s, and she re-
ports that to be very lean at this pre-
sent. But seriously, boys, don’t laugh
when you see the ladies struggling to
find the receptacle of their car-fares on
the Trolley.
Not Much on the Lift.
Will Bates, who acts as clerk at his
father’s market on Water street, has
always had a conceited idea as to his
lifting strength. This conceit was
crushed out of him the other day by a
quarter of beef. George Nash drove
up in front of the store with a wagon
load of beef and was about to take a
quarter out of the wagon when young
Bates spoke up and said “let me take
it in.” ‘.‘I am afraid it will be too
much for you, but you can try it if you
wish,” replied Nash. Bates went out
to the wagon, took hold of the beef,
and after two or three attempts man-
aged to get it on his shoulder. He
started to take a step backward, when
he was quickly crushed to the gronnd
with a quarter of beef on top of him.
He was unable to get up untrl Nash had
lifted the beef from off his stomach.
He then went into the store and looked
himself over' for injuries but found
none. He lost considerable conceit
though by the accident.
Suicide Through Drink.
Samuel Dunnan, of New Haven, was
found lying in a pool of blood in the
parlor of his residence, No. .151 Ash-
mun street, Sunday. While inthicct-
ed he had tried to kill his invalid wife
and infant child by beating them With
an iron stove lifter. The woman was
soon rendered unconscious andvDun-
nan staggered into the kitchen. _ There
he secured a bread knife, went into the
parlor and, while standing in front of
a mirror slashed his threat from ear
to ear. - Death soon ensued. Dunnan
was an- engineer in the employ of the
Winchester Arms Company.
