‘THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Independent in all things: Neutral m noting.
I The Gazette has the largest clr-
culation of any paper in Norwalk,
and furnishes the lowest advertisinz
rates. '
’Says Blair.
The New York World sought an in-
terview with ex-Senater and now Con-
gressman Henry W. Blair, of New
Hampshire, anent the present money
and business stringency, and got the
following evidently candid and sensi-
ble, though perhaps to that journal,
unwelcome views :—He said he thought
that all the existing business troubles
are due to a public apprehension that
the tariff laws are to be repealed. '
“Yes, I think the Sherman silver act
ought to be repealed, at least so far as
the purchasing clause is concerned.”
He went on to say. “my judgment is
that .if»..the Cleveland administration
continues its lack of policy, the busi-
ness interests of the country will go to
the bow-wows.”
Benjamin Fitch at World’s Fair.
A Chicago writer describing the sa-
lient features of New York State’s ela-
borate exhibit at the World’s Fair, has
this to say of the branch “ Creche,” an
institution for the care of infants whose
working mothers are obliged to leave
them for the day, established in Buf-
falo by the late”Benjamin Fitch, of
Darien, who gave to Connecticut the
site for her Soldiers’ Home. The cor-
respondent says :—
“ To many people, the “ Creche ” in
the Children’s Building is the most in-
teresting exhibit that New York has
here. 'This is the day nursery. Wo-
men can leave their babies here at a
char e of 25 cents a day, and go about
the air unencumbered. The mana-
gers of the Fitch Creche, of Buffalo,
have charge of it. This Creche was
the first of its kind' ever established in
this country. The exhibit here is really
the New York Commissioners set asidei
money for its establishment. A matron,
four nurses, a laundress and a cook ai'e
employed. -
The Creche was established yery
quietly in the Children’s Building." Not
much was heard of it at first, but soon
the matron and her assistants had more
babies offered to them than they could
take care of. Ninety-four were cared
for there on the Fourth of July. and
everybody wants the Crecheeulogized.
Not only is the,Creche a (great suc-
cess in actual work, but it is one of the
most interesting and popular exhibits
at the Fair.’?
As Seen' by Democratic Eyes.
There are twelve plate-glass factories
in the United States, and all of them
have been closed indefinitely. The
reasons given are "— over-production,
tight money and the arbitrary methods
of the plate-glass trust.
The plate-glass industry was one of
the special beneficiaries of the McKinley
tariff, charges A. K. McClure, of the
Philadelphia Times. The tariff tax on
plate-glass was largely increased, and
the result was a full dozen factories in-
stead of two which existed until re-
cently, and more plate-glass than is
wanted. A close trust logically fol-
lowed, and now all are shut down, and
10,000 men suddenly thrown out of em-
ployment. ‘
The high tariff tax on steel so whet-
ted the appetite or capitalists, contin-
ues McClure, that we now have mills
capable of producing four million tons
of steel rails when we consume only
about twelve hundred thousand. The
result is over-production, depression,
low prices, and the first movement
made by employers to escape from
their own folly is the reduction of the
wages of labor. .
. The high tarifi‘ taxes on plate-glass
have stimulated investment in that in-
dustry until we have plants capable of
producing double the plate-glass we
can consume. Even the complete trust
that took possession of the glass facto-
ries could not make them profitable,
and they are, all closed because the
market is glutted and without buyers.
Had the tariff duties been reduced
to a reasonable, standard on steel and
plate-glass, both of ' those industries
would to-day, claims the iTimes, be on
a sound basis; but the tariff taxes
Were made largely in excess'of the dif-
ference in the cost of labor here and
abroad to serve the interests of monop-
oly, and both industries have been
made profitless by over-production.
What our industries need is free raw
materials to cheapen products and thus
taxes on, any higher than the differ-
and abroad; this is the Democratic
claim, and when a tax is thus levied by
Congress to protect labor, labor should

The First Newspaper.
It was through the influence of Thom-
as J efi'erson that the first independent
newspaper was published in America.
The paper was started at Williamsburg
in August of 1736, but was published
“under the authority of the govern—
ment” until 1776, when Mr. Jefferson
persuaded its editor, Mr. Bind to make
it independentand open its columns to
all parties. It was 12 by 16 inches in

Officials to Meet.
It is understood that to-morrow vari-

York and Old Colony systems of the
Consolidated road will meet at the
Union station in New London to dis-
cuss important matters in relation to

of the line. It is thoucht the chief
item of consideration will be the re-

The Rosedaie Disabled.
Monday evening about_6 o’clock the
steamer Bosedale, of Bridgeport, was
brought to a standstill by the breaking
of the cross-head of one of the. cylin-
ders of her engines. At- the time of
the accident the Bosedale was off the
Norwalk islands and had about 500 pas-
sengers aboard. After waiting 20 min-
utes the steamer Richard Peck of New
Haven, was signalled, and later the
oyster boat Kate Stevens, of South
Norwalk.
One hundred and'twenty of the pas-
sengers were transferred to the Kate
Stevens and taken to Bridgeport. The
remainder were taken to New Haven
on the Peck. The crew of the Rose-
dale commenced work on repairs. The
accident was not of a serious nature.
'There was no panic or demonstration
of any kind. -
Prior to the arrival of the Stevens at
Bridgeport there were many rumors
afloat in ‘that city, which were quickly
dispelled when the Stevens arrived.

Another Elopement.
The elopement fever seemingly has
in no wise abated. in Norwalk. The
last one announced occured on Sunday,
and‘the parties are both well known in
town. The groom is said to be no less
a person than Edward .Hadle , aged
about 65 years, and the bri e, Miss
'Mary Brown, about 18 years of age.
The ceremony as usual in such cases
was performed in York state. It has
been noticed for some weeks past that
Mr. Hadley was very attentive to Miss
Brown and the report of their mar-
riage does not create the usual sensa-
tion, but is nevertheless a sweet mor-
sel for the gossips of the Broad River
district, where the couple reside. It is
understood that the girl and her aged
spouse have been forgiven by Mr. and
Mrs. Brown, and,all are as happy as
the man who has paid his taxes. '
Some weeks since Miss Brown-had a
young hatter arrested on a serious
charge, but the complaint was not
pressed. - , .

was 15.6 for the large towns, 12.7 for
the small towns and 14.0 for the whole

Failures.
In Fairfield County during the past
six months there have been 16 failures.
, This number includes eleven in Bridge-
port, and the liabilities of all amounted
to $65,960. 24 while the assets were 322,-
470.91. Ten ofthese failures have oc-
curred during the past three months.
In the whole country there were 4,292
business firms up to July 1 of. which
333 were started since January 1, and
256 had gone out of business during
that time. .
The figures for the first six months of
last year show that there were 20 fail-
ures with total liabilities of $144,478
and assets of $46,467. Thus it will _be
seen that the failures of last year were
'more in number and their liabilities
heavier.
Sound Advice.
The American Cultivator, which talks
to and for farmers, offers the following
sound advice to all sorts and conditions
of men, with regard to savings banks :
_ The run on_savings banks reported
in various sections of the country is al-
most invariably an act of folly. Sav-
ings banks are everywhere guarded so
that their failure to pay depositors, ex-
cept by criminality on the part of some
of their officers, is almost impossible.
If there is not faith in the honesty of «
savings bank officials, no deposit should
be made. But once made it should not
be lightly disturbed. A large part of
the ability of the soundest bank to
maintain its credit must depend'on
pubho confidence. No bank can, on
any given day,_pay all its depositors in
full, except With help. If there is a
general run on _banks, their ability to
help each other is lessened.
Riot in New Haven. _
There Was a small-sized riot at Belle
dock, at New Haven, late Sunday af-
ternoon. The steamer City of Rich-
mond landed at the dock about 2 o’clock
With a. large party of Norwich people,
the excursion beingunder the aus ices
of St. Joseph’s society of that p ace.
At 5 o’clock, Just as the steamer was
about to cast ofl' her moorings some
one on the boat threw a potato and
struck one of the loungers on the dock.‘
In less time than it takes to tell it a
fight ensued between the party on t e
boat and the lounger on the dock.
Stones, coal and cinders flew thick and
fast for a time and several people were
struck. The people on the steamer
.fled from the deck to the cabin and.
some of the windows were broken. 7
Atelephone message was sent to the
Grand'avenue recinct that a riot was
in progress an a wagon load of ofii-
oars hastened to‘ the scene. By the
time they arrivedthe trouble was over.
The Fat Man.
. Good natured Thomas Cooney is “ in
it” again. It seems he was a short
time since wandering about West ave-
».nue not far from St. Mary’s church,
but whether he was going ,to or return-
ing from confession, deponent sayeth
not. Hard by where Cooney was pass—
ing, lived -a thrifty house-wife, who
possessed that rarest of.all jewels, an
honest and faithful Celtic house-maid.
Madam had. heard that a new local in-
dustry had been opened up_ by Sheriff
Toner and that he was sending around
to village houses to gather all sorts of
fatty collections from the family kitch-
ens. So our good dame, noting that
her prudent Bridget had a crock over
full of ham rinds and pot-skimmings,
etc., charged her to call in the fat man
the first time she saw him pass. True
to her instructions, the moment Bridg-
et’s sharp eyes caught sight of Cooney
some days after, she rushed out and
hailed him With, “ Misther, would ye’s
sthep in .the house a minit, it’s the
Madam bid me tell ye’s she wanted to
see ye’s ? ” The ever polite and affable
"Tommy” walked .up the steps and was
grandly ushered into the parlor. A
moment later. he heard Bridget at the
top of her vome shouting to her mis-
tress to come down, for, said she, “ the
fat man is waitin’ to see ye’s in' the par-
lor l” Madam came trippin down the
hall stairs in utter bewil erment to
know what was up. Stepping cautious-
ly into the parlor and seeing in thedi‘m
light, what looked like the biggest
kind of a bass drum, but was not, she
timidly interrogated the sitting visitor
with—“Did you wish to see me, sir?”
“No,--no,” quoth the blushing Tom,
“Your hired girl called me in and said
you wanted to see me.” “ Why, what
does this mean? Here, Bridget, what
did you call this man in here for it”
continued she. Poor Bridget soon ap-
peared and looking with amaze over
Tom’s ample vest retorted—“ Sure
Missus and didn’t ye’s tell me to call in
the fat man as soon as iver I seed him
and so I did, so I did.” Madam turned
scarlet. 'I'om Just roared till his stom-
ach shook like one of Grover Cleve-
land’s Jelly fish. He didn’t wait for
explanations, but rushed for the door
saying “ ood day ma-a—m, good day,—
I see 156— a-ha-ha—a-whoo-up !” As he
fled towards Harbor avenue his roaring
laughter could still be heard, and once
he was overheard to say, “I wonder if

. Planet Shadows.
There is no doubt that some of the
most brilliant planets, such as Venus and
J upiter. are capable of casting distinct
shadows, as may be seen any fine even-
ing in the tropics. Not long ago M. L.
Guiot observed that Jupiter ti; :ew a dis-
tinct shadow of his watch upon a wall,
and that lie was able to read a newspa-
per by the light. M. Moye also finds that
Mars is able to cast ashadow, but amuch
fainter one than Jupiter. He was also
able to count the number of words in a
newspaper placed in the light of the
planet entering by a window, but he

"Address as Above.”
There is one lawyer in the city who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write a letter to
a. client in a neighboring city regarding
an important lawsuit that was to come
up before the court in the course of a
few days. The information he solicited
was highly essential to his case. ‘ In writ-
ing this epistle he made use of a. letter
head with his printed address at the top.
In closing his letter he signed himself
thus: “John Langdon, Address ut supra.”
After waiting several days for the re-
ply, which did not come, he again wrote
his procrastinating client and asked why
he had not sooner answered his first let-
ter.
which the client said that he had an-
swered the letter and addressed it to
“John Langdon, Ut Supra, N. Y.”—Buf-

Tremendous Possibilities.
The great secret which many electri.

some of their number is how to extract
from coal direct all of the energy which
it contains—the utilizing of it all, with
none of the present remainder of dead
waste. If they really do this, all their
claim and expectation of revolutionizing
present methods of heat, lighting and
transportation will be justified. If, as
they also claim, they will then make war

MEYER IN NEW YORK.
The Alleged Wholesale I’oisoner Refuse!
to Answer Questions.
NEW YORK, July 18.—-Yesterday after-
noon Dr. Henry C. W. Meyer, the alleged
wholesale poisouer for insurance money,
was led into the rear entrance of police
headquarters, handcuffed to Detective
Sergeant Trainer. Detective Sergeant Von
Gerichten walked on the other side of the
prisoner.
The alleged poisoner is a slender man,
about5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighs in
the. neighborhood of 135 pounds. He wore
a red beard of about three week’s growth.
In reply to Inspector McLaughlin’s
queries he said his name was Carl Shaffer,
and his residence Detroit. When asked if
he had been known as Dr. Henry C. W.
Meyer he said he would answer no more
questions until he had consulted counsel.
The detectives said that nothing of any
interest passed between themselves and
the prisoner on their way from Detroit.
Meyer was sullen during the entire trip.
He would talk about nothing but com-
monplace matters, except that he occasion-
ally said that he had never been in New
York, and that he knew nothing about the
death of the man known as Gustave A. J.
Baum and Ludwig Brandt.
When asked about Meyer’s al {aged wish
to commit suicide, Detective Von Gerich-
ten said that Meyer had simply asked for
a needle. The detective knew nothing
about the wish Mrs. Meyers is said to have
expressed in the hospital that she might
bleed to death. The woman is watched
closely by two policemen in the hospital
and will be brought here as soon as her
condition will allow. ' ‘

‘DOUBTM THE LASTI
Mankind Has Always Had :1 Horror of Be. “1
ing Buried Alive, and the Cremation of
‘ the'Ancients may Have Been Due to This
Fear—Some Peculiar Cases.‘ '
‘ So deceptive are many of the ordinary V "
evidences of death that medical science , , M
has given to this subject a great deal of
attention. It used' to be supposed that
people were often buried alive through
accident, and writers of romance have
dwelt upon this species of horror with
much unction. During the war of the ‘
rebellion many soldiers were said to
have been interred while living who were
merely in a_ lethargy or stupor arising
from loss of blood, exhaustion, cold and
fear. Bodies have often been found
turned overin coffins, as if the occupants '
had waked up andtried to get out. In
numerous other cases of a similar sort
the tongue has been discovered protrud-
ing from the mouth, as if from suffoca-
tion, and there have been stains from
bleeding on the burial clothes.
Now, such facts as these were amply
sufiicient in former days to convince the
most skeptical that the persons concerned
had been interred alive. But it is now
known that such phenomena are exhib-
ited by dead bodies under conditions
wholly normal. The turning of a corpse
in its cofiin isbroughtabout' by the ex‘
pansion of the gases of putrefacti'on.
The projection of the tongue from the
mouth is an efiect of' the same cause.
Bleeding often occurs after death. In .
fact, such a hemorrhage is known to have
taken place eight days after death. In
this instance the bleeding was from
wounds inflicted during life.
The stoppage of the heart’s heating is
not regarded as a satisfactory evidence
of death. In some cases on‘record that
organ has apparently ceased to perform
its function for as much as 15’min-
utes, and 3yet the person has revived.
Tidy, the great English authority, speaks.
of "the instance of a certain Colonel
Townshend, who was seemingly 'ableieto
die at will and to come to-life-aagain
whenjhechose. On a number of occasions
—he hadwf'deliberately suspended his‘own
vital processes for a short'rti'me; Finall

what alarming. Inthe presence of the
doctors he veluntarilylapsed’i'into estate
of torpidity,,;_h:is heart. stopped andghis
breathing also, a' mirror held at his
mouth showing no dimness. .
‘ This casewas apparently unique. At
the same~time the peculiar faculty de
veloped by Colonel Townshend-who
died that same night for good and» all—
_bears a seeming likeness to the peculiar .
power exhibited by certain fakirs of fin-
dia. For centuriesjt has been a familiar.
trick for certain of these fakirs who pos-
sessed the accomplishment to permit
themselves to be buried alive for months,
coming tolifei’again after being dug-up.
