THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.

 

 

Inalleilent ill all things : 'Ntllilalllil noting.

 

 

The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk.

'. and furnishes the lowest ad'ver’tislnz

. grates-

 

 

’ Hint to Adfiertlsers. .

This is the way Mr. Emerson, 61 the
Ansonia Sentinel, and one of the bright-
est and most enterprising men connect-
ed with the Connecticut press, puts it :

“It is the season of the year when
trade is dull. People are out of work,
or are working on short time, and for
that reason they are spending but little
money and that in the \most economical
manner. Consequently the storekeep—
ers—the grocers, the dry goods, the
clothing, the shoe dealers and others
feel the relaxing of business, and each
is striving to get his share of the trade.
For that reason, therefore, the enter-
prising merchant will pay more atten-

_ tion to his advertising. He will not

‘only keep his advertisement running,
but he will strive to make it more at-
tractive to the people whose trade he is
seeking. He will introduce bargains
if he has them and draw trade by letting
the people knowit. There is but little
money spent at this season of the year,
and the aim of the merchant is to get
what there is.

To stop advertising at a season of the
year when trade is dull is the height of
absurdity. No merchant will take in
the sign over his door during the sum-
mer because there is little trade. Then
why should he withdraw his sign from
the newspapers, which is Seen a thou~
sand times where the other is once.
The writer once knew a prominent-New.
York dry goods dealer who did his
heaviest advertising in the country
newspaper during the summer. We

7 asked him, .one day, why he did so.

His reply Was: ”Because trade is dull
everywhere and I want all I can get.
In the spring and fall and winter I
have all I can take care of here at
home. Invthe summer the country
merchants take out their advertise-
ments from the local weeklies and I

put mine in. _ It would astonish them~

if they knew what a heap of trade I
take away from them by that method.
But it’s none of my business if they
don’t want it ; I do, and I get it.”

There is a brilliant truth in this which
country merchants would do well to'
ponder.”

Banks and their Customers.

Nothing conduces more to a general
sense of security in tight times like
these, says the Washington Post, than
the maintenance of mutually helpful
relations between the banks and their
customers. Their duties are recipro-,
calls The obligation is not all on one
side. -

The sagacious business man, having
confidence in the honest management
of his bank, keeps up his deposits. To
that extent he contributes to the bank’s
assets. He fully appreciates the danger
of that nervous timidity which impels
some people to withdraw their funds
and board them elsewhere. He thor-
oughly understands the importance of
doing by the banks as he would be done
by, of strengthening their credit as he
would strengthen his oWn, of manfully
standing by them and extending to
them all the moral and financial sup-
port that he legitimately and prudently
may.

So much for the customer. If he
does this he does well. The solvency
of his bank is thereby the better as-

 

sured, but the party of the other part .

has also a duty to perform. The banks
themselves are under ’ certain obliga-
tions in thismatter. They are bound
to make some return for the unabated
confidence and loyalty of the men Iwith
whom they deal. ' . '
- 1 When a financial storm is at its height
and bills are to be paid out of slow col-
lections, then it is that the banks may
be of most service to theircustomers.
It is when a business man needs help
that he ought to have it.

It is no relief to him to borrow mon-

ey that he doesn’t want. It is When'he;

is hard pressed that he requires assist-
Hence the banks must bear in

as well as to. ‘be taken. They are al-
ways ready to accept deposits, but this
‘ is not their only province. Were such
the case they would be as useless as so
many safety deposit vaults.
They should be as ready to let their

money out as to take it in whenever '

the customer who asks their aid is as
worthy of trust as the » bank of which
heasksit. '

There should be no hoggishness in

. these perilous times. It is unfair, it is

unwise, it. is liable to put men in

 

 

if‘E'qual and/Exact Justice to all M on. of 'Wk(Iétheiiejeiff State 07' Persuasion, Religious 0" P0573750“ Ala—701799730“ "f

' ‘ /
jeopardy who, with a helping hand,
would come out all right. '

There must be :reciprocit‘y. The
banks must do their part towards eas-
ing their customers but of difficulties.
It is not enough that the customers
ease the banks. Let both do what they

can to weather the storm, and the '

chances of shipwreck will be mini-
mized.”

-. Of the Norwalk banks it may be

truly said that they have manifested as
great a desire to aid their customers as
to fortify themselves and their deposi-
tors and the public have unlimited con-
fidence in their ability and desire to
continue to do both.

sion to his physicians and friends. 'As
almost everybody knows, the vermi-
form appendix-18a little blind pouch
from three to six inches long and about
the thickness of a goose quill,, which is
attached to the large intestine. Of
what use it is no one has been able to
learn. It catches seedsand grape-stones
and other troublesome things, and
when it has done so it becomes inflamed
and must _ be removed to save the
patient’s life. Within the past z'few
years this malady has became remark-
ably frequent. '3

Main’s Circus.

The city was filled yesterday by one
of-the largest crowds that has been
seen on the streets for along time.
They came to see a first-class circus,
and were in no way disappointed. The
parade in the morning was fully up to
all expectations; the wagons, chariots
and cages were all new, and the horses
some of the finest ever seen in a pa-
rade. The big tent was filled in the
afternoon, and the people saw the most

.varied, complete and difficult perform-

ance ever shown in a circus ring. The
closing with the Roman hippodrome
made the crowd go wild with excite-
ment, and during the entire afternoon
and evening performances there was
nothing said or done to which excep-
tion could be taken—Minneapolis Mes-

. Speaker Isaac'W. Brooks of_ Torring.‘

. , An [tall-alnflflsevee,
Attorney . Alfred. Edmance ‘_ Austin,
who" return'ed‘from Norwich last night,

held an Italiaiiéleves athis office in the -

Masonic building, this morning, and
his leading. guests “paid the freight.”
The first to receivehi‘s august attention

' as he sat in his judicial ermine ‘as jus-

tice of the peace of the commonwealth
of Connecticut, was no less a person-
age than George Queen, who has been
in this country long enough to under-

. stand the King’s english and do a suc-

cessful business in working the "high-
ways. A very serious charge was preé
ferred against this Queen, that of an
aggravated assault on his married'sis-

ter, Mrs. Mima Parillo. At the request
of Messrs. Hurlbutt and Walsh, the
former representing Queen, and the
latter the State of Connecticut, the jus-
tice adjourned a further hearing in the
case until Saturday next. Queen, who
was accompanied by his, as the justice
expressed it, “mighty pretty niece,”
then left the room, followed by his sis-
ter, .who looks very much like him,
and is also very good looking.

The next party to address the judge
was Attorney Walsh who appeared for
Mr. M. Barillo, an Italian who is
charged With selling intoxicants with-
out a license. Mr. Walsh stated that
prosecuting attorney Honnecker could
not be present this morning, and prose.
cute the case, and asked for an adjourn-
ment. until this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The Judge good naturedly granted the
request:

_ At this juncture Attorney Gray came
in and informed the Judge that he had
two Italians under the “wing of the
the law,” said “ sunny sons ” having on
Sunday last, as alleged, committed an
assault on one "Felix” and also a
breach of the peace contrary to” the
law in such cases made and provided,
near the Rocks, so called. Their names
sounded something like Regerrio Bo-
logna and Alberti Skilletto. Mr. Gray
stated that the prisoners wished to
plead guilty and, asked that he treat
them With as great financial leniency
as his pardoning spirit might dictate.
The Justice put on a wise but at the
same time‘sympathetic look, and after
a moment’s thought decided to set the
prisoners free, on the payment of the:
costs which as he figured it amounted
to $19.66. Messrs. Bologna and Skil-
letto. thanked him in Italian and im-
mediately commenced to gather to-
gether _the necessary coin with which
to liquidate their obligations to the
court. The levee was still in “session”
when the GAZETTE reporter left, George
Wendling at the time being the party

Burned to the Ground.

The old Welles Tavern, on the Al-
bany turnpike, about four miles from
Hartford was burned to the ground
Friday morning. Loss, $3,000; insured.

Postponed.

The picnic of the local council of the
Knights of Columbus, which was to
have been held at the Norwalk Park to-
day, has, on account of the rain, been
postponed until some day next week,
the day and date to be announced later.

Won’t Pay on Demand.

To prevent possible runs the New
York Savings Banks yesterday combin.
ed to requre a notice of thirty days on
all sums below $300 and, sixty days on
all deposits of over that sum. The
Herald states that $53,000, 000 more than
usual has been withdrawn since the
first of July and this extra withdrawal
tends to cripple the banks of discount as
well as the savings institutions. Hence»
the enforcement of the notice rule.
