" Hot Wave ” arid "Frost-rations;
During the passage of the “hot wave”
over this sectidn to-day and to-morrow
it will be‘ prudent for all people exposed
' _ to the blazing sun or confined in heated
factories to avoid the danger of pros-
tration and sunstroke. ‘ ’ .
A man may suffer from either of thee
when the‘thermometer is not extraor-
, dinarily high and the actual humidity
of the atmosphere not excessive, provig
ded he allows himself an over-exertiOn
or indulges too much in ice water and
stimulants. .
Yesterday the‘mercury climbed above
94 degrees at Rechester and still high-
ger west of the Alleghanies. To-day
the “warm wave” is felt severely in this
section with an increase of' humidity.
It is likely that there will be a slight
fall of temperature try-morrow after-
noon. So go slow"; dOn’thtfibe cheer:
ful and k'eep’in the cooli-p'pla‘ces, if you
paufind them. '

. A Better Outlook.
The advantages consequent upon mu-
tual support were never more evident
than in New York during the perilous
financial period through which this
country hasjust passed, and the bank-
ers of other cities are following the ex-
. ample of their New York brethern in
uniting to prevent senseless and ruin-
ous panics. The shoulder-to-shoulder
methods have done a great deal to re-
store confidence and to put life in many
of the sluggish business concerns. Im-
provement is evident in all directions
The New .York World, discussing the
situation, says :
‘fBankers generally believe that the
bottom has '_been nearly reached and
that liquidation is about Over. Besides
the signs of soundness, such as the
- quick repayment of the New York loans
by the western banks there “are other
hopeful indications. There ‘has been
no great mercantile failure. During
' the month of June between $60,000,000
and $70,000,000 of mercantile paper fell
due in this city; Nearly every dollar
of it was paid without the ruin of any
large business house. This is a symp-
tom of a strong constitution. Besides
this the attitude of the New York banks
is admirable. The issue of_ the clear-
ing house certificates, which Will be
maintained as long as they are needed,
makes available as actual cash about
75 per cent of the face value of every
sound security held by the banks. The
banks use the certificates to settle bal-
ances between themselves, and there-
fore so much currency is released for
the use of their customers. Nearly
320,000 000 of certificates were Issued
up to July 12, and this amount very'
hourly took the place of the lost depos-
i s.” .
These conditions are most pleasing to
those who have endeavored to stem the
tide of afrighted sentiment that but a
few days since rushed along. at a most
undesirably rapid rate. The strain has
been very great indeed, but the worst
seems to be over and one of the first
things financial men should attend to is
the making or perfecting of such or-
ganization throughout the country as
will negative any efforts conscienceless
politicians or unscrupulousstock brok-
ers may put forth to disturb public
confidence. ,
Right here at home there is not a‘
single individual who may not do some-
thing to help enliven local business
and improve the more encouraging out-
look just now brightening' the business
horizon. Let every ,citizen of Nor-
walk—man, woman or child, who has
a dollar, or even a nickel, to spend—
spend that money at home. Let the
. good ladies forego the usual temptation
of going to New York to supply their
wants, make it a matter of conscien-
tious duty to spend every dollar possi-
ble here in town. An immense amount
of good-can be done by a cessation
from the universal croaking about
“hard times” as well. One lady in town
who, it is reported to us, was consult-
ed by another as to the wisdom of with-
drawing a deposit from one of our sav-
ings banks, from a fear that the bank
might break, as they were doing out:
. West, spiritedly remarked, “ don’t be, a
£001; leave your money where it is
4 until you need it, and then you can
easily get it. When the Norwalk sav-
ings banks cease to be safe depOsitories
for anybody’s money, it will be time
for us all to quit the earth and prepare
for heaven.” The sensible advice had
its effect in re-establishing a timid con-
fidence, and the savings bank deposit
was not disturbed.
Have confidence; have courage; be
sensible and helpful to one another,
and better business conditions will
surely result. '

A West Norwalk Man Shoots
Himself..
Removed to the Norwalk Hospital.
Michael English who resides in West
Norwalk, was trying to shoot off an
old-fashioned pistol Tuesday afternoon,
when it went. off and wounded him
quite _badly.. The weapon was one of
the kind which requires a- cap to ex-
plode it and English was trying to
place one on the nipple when he was
shot. The cap was a little small and
he thought that he could get it in posi-
tion by hitting it with a stone. Of
course it exploded, and as the muzzle
was pomted toward him English re-.
ceived the ball. An examination showed
that the cartridge entered the left hand
between the little and ring fingers and
came out at the side of the hand and
then entered his body near the edge of
the last rib. Dr. Burke was sent for
and he had the injured man removed
to the Norwalk hospital where he was
made as comfortable as possible. The
ball was not probed for last night but
an effort will be made to recover it to-
day. .

EDITOR GAZETTE :—_Inclosed please
find quotation cut from a local, which
seems to assume that the event of the
f‘Cit Charter” is unquestionably fixed
in t e right direction; butcould the
leading spirits of the band of enthusi-
astic advocates and adherents of the
movement, have taken a little time in
advance, for thought and reflection,
over the matter, and had looked over
the lessons of the past, the result would
probably have been quite different,
and as it looks to the writer, more in
conformity to the best interests of . all ;
and could they now restrain their jubi-
lant rejoicings to a moderate degree,
and take a retrospective look at the
leading causes to the result as it now
stands, they would be convinced the
“forlorn” hope would not have been
confined to the number of fourteen,
and that greater disaster would have
been averted, than the one named as
having taken place. “Look before you
leap” is a maxim which commends_it-
self as being not the most foolish thing
that‘might be done, and often is the
means of avoiding the mistakes of the
future in advance, also of the regrets
of the past. Facts are stubborn things,
and are a safe footing, from which to
look forward. The future of _other
things soon to be consideredais still in
the advance of us. Shall we ignore all
past history and experience, and plunge
recklessly into burdensome expendi-
tures, without careful consideration?

PENNOYER AD\fl_S_l_-ZS STEVENSON.
Oregon’l Governor Vigorously Denounce.
a Gold Standard.
PORTLAND, Ore., July 26.—-—Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson and party arrived here yes-
terday and were driven to a hotel for
breakfast. At Salem the vice president
was welcomed to the state by Governor
Pennoyer. A great crowd of people were
at the depot. 1n welcoming the vice pres-
dent the governor said: “No fairer land
upon the whole earth is visited by the sun-
light of heaven than our own Oregon, and
yet all our resources, many of our indus-
tries are at a standstill, and hundreds of
our laboring men are without employ-
ment and their families without bread.
This condition of affairs is the legitimate
result of the departure from the financial
policy of our fathers which was made two
years ago, and which still exists.
“Believing this, we appeal to you to use
your utmost influence to procure a return .
to.the pOlicy of the government, which
was successfullyfollowed for eighty years.
The simple repeal of the Sherman law,
thus leaving our financial system on the
gold basis, would be a. most flagrant
breach of good faith which all honorable
men would scorn, and which would justly
subject the party perpetrating it to the
unmeasured contempt of the nation and
Nor would it be of any benefit.
The people of Oregon, therefore, beg you
to aid in carrying out the written pledge
of your party by the restoration of the
former financial policy of the government,
which would result in the return of pros-
perity, revival of industries and the em-
ployment of the vast army of uneml
ployed.”
Vice President Stevenson, after express:
lng gratefulness for the welcome, said:
“In response to the words of the distin-
guished executive of this state, I can only
say that to the best of my abilities I will
endeavor to co—operate with those who, re-
gardless of party, have in view the best in-
terests of the common people of the land.”
Last night a public reception was held at
. the hotel.
Broke Up in Disorder.
NEW YORK, July 26.—Two hours of dis«
graceful uproar kept guests of the Fifth
Avenue hotel in a. state of alarm last
night. The noise all proceeded from Par-
lor F, where the meeting under the aus-
pices of the Silver club had been exten-
sively announced to be held. At 10 o’clock
the management of the hotel ordered the
electric lights turned out. After the row
was over it was perfectly apparent that
the meeting had been purposely broken
up by a gang who did not hesitate to fur—
nish their names, and who boasted that
they represented the Industrial Alliance,
an organization not recognized by the
labor unions. Resolutions were pre~
sented, and said to have been adopted, de-
nouncing‘the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law.

serve an amended answer.
