THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
inienenneni in innings: Neutral in noting.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
‘ oulation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertisinz
rates-
, The German’Army.
Some people who know they are
good and think they are wise, rise up
and scold because the Germans main-
tain such a large military establish-
ment, alleging that it is a burden to
the German tax~payers, - and that it
withdraws young men from gainful
occupations, and condemns them to
the seemingly useless routine of camp
life. This is one Side of the question,
but there is another. .
The disbanding ofthe army would
not lighten forever the burden of the
tax-payer; and as to the effect of mili-
tary life upon the young Germans, a
recent writer in one of our great month-
lies who has studied the subject upon
the ground, states that upon the Whole
the effect is beneficial; that he could
invariably tell in a rural community
Which ‘of its members had served in
the army, as they Were more alert, less
awkward and more intelligent ; and as
a means of establishing a national feel-
ing, it was worth all it costs. The
effect of the army upon the industrial
life of Germany is overlooked by the
good and the wise. If the German
army was disbanded to-morrow‘ the
.labor market of Germany would be
glutted, and the inevitable competition
between man and man would reduce
' wages to the starvation point. It is
true that German capital wOuld have
less of a burden, but German labor“
, would be prostrate, and sooner or later.
paupers would take the place of sol-_
diers and almshouses would take the
‘ place of-barra'cks, while the charities
expenses, like all public expenses,
would fall upon the wealth of the
country. Disbanding the Germanar-
my, therefore, would only shift the
taxes from one shoulder to another.
No one doubts that if the United States
army was increased ten-fold it would
absorb many of the unemployed whose
presence is a menacetothe stability of
the present scale of wages. These
facts may be applied analogously to
the case of pensioners. If the pay-
ment of pensions shouldstop, it would
efi'ect'disastrously the labor world, and
fill our almshouses to overflowing, and
they would not all be (ex-pensioners
either. Some of these reformers who
think they are doing God’s service in
having pensions revoked are not only
exhibiting their sneaking meanness,
but are adding to the various state and
municipal burdens- No act of the pre-
sent Democratic administration will
have a deeper and more wide-spread
effect, and be, more likely to affect for
‘ill, the fortunes of that party, than the
suspension of pensions. If there have
been frauds, they should be run down,
but to ask a man to re-prove his case is
hardly fair. In reputable forums,
judgments are respected, and he who
cries fraud must prove fraud. How-
' ever, we do not blame the-Democratic
party for its attitude on this question,
as, like “civil service reform,” it is a
Mugwump frill.

Hits Norwalk.
The “change” for which so many
enthusiastic partisans voted last
November, and which has had much
to do with unsettling labor and busi-
ness conditions all over the country,
has at last struck N orwalk—and strikes
as hard. Saturday, the Hutchinson,
Cole 85 Co. gave notice to their em-
ployees that, in consequence of the re-
duction in their orderi', the Shirt fac-
tory, that hitherto bustling hive of in-
dustry, would commence this week on
Thursday, to run only the last three
days of the-week. Such an event, we
believe, is without a precedent, in that
manufactory, which for forty years has
given liberal wages to thousands of
our own people and to' others from
adjoining towns. But in the present
state oftheir trade, it would be suicidal
to continue tomanufacture" goods that
cannot be sold, or’ if sold, payment
therefor cannot be obtained. . ’
Saturday evening the Buckley Rub-
ber works gave notice to their work-
men and working-women that, com-.
mencing with'the present week, they
would run only three days in the week.
This hive of industry manufactures
largely on order work, which have so
fallen of as to make, this cutting down
of time an‘ imperative necessity. Never
before, since this factory was started,
has there been a time when it‘ was not
driven to its utmost limit of production ;
in many instances working over-time
and ‘ithi‘bugh the night.

Which means less of employment to

Today’s dispatches announce also
that the S. L. Sayles Manufacturing
Company, of Dayville, one of the lar-

gressman Charles A. Russell was man-

part of his own and his wife’s fortune

at Dayville turned out more fine wool-

A Brave Rescuer.
Saturday afternoon a number of lads
wore in bathing, at the wharf near the
railroad freight house. One of the
number, James Yeomans, was taken
with a cramp and called for help. Ed-
die Brotherton, aged 16 years, swam to
his rescue. Yeomans grabbed hold of
Brotherton and at one time it seemed
as if both would be drowned. Samuel
Foster, who is employed at the freight
office,_saw the peril of the two lads and
stripping off his clothes, not taking
time to unlace his shoes, jumped into
the water; and swimming out to the
drowning lads succeeded in etting
them safely ashore, though at t e risk
of his own life, as beth lads seemed de-
termined to hold to him in such a way
as to prevent his making any headway
toward the shore. Young Brotherton
has_been confined to his bed since the
accident. Foster is deserving of much
praise for his brave act. as both lads
would probably have been drowned
but for his timely assistance.

EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: In reply
to_the inquiry. of the 29th inst. the
writer is, and has been ready, to admit
without a question, that the old bo-
rough charter is not perfect. also that
the claim by the advocates of the new
“City Charter” for removing its impor-
tant objections, is not established.
The voting by ballot is probably well
meant by the author, but the four
months residence in the city, to be-
come eligible as a voter, seems to de-
feat its good intent. One of the things
most needed, and which seems impera-
tive, is some effectual restrictive protec-
tion, some mitigation, or relief from
the heavy burdens to which the tax-
payers are at present subject. - -
What is there to hinder most of the
itinerant, floating class ‘of laborers,
without taxable property of any kind,
whose sole interest in public affairs
would be to vote an appropriation by
ballot, as easily as by acclamation, for
a job on some needed, or some fancied
improvement, and create a majority in
its favor, under the able leadership of
others alike interested,skilled in schemes
of these modern times, to carry any-
thing in their own selfish interests, vot-
ing away the earnings, and adding to
the oppression and perhaps ruin, to the
conservative minority ? Will it require
a supernatural Vision, or a giant intel-
ect to collect proofs? c. P. T. ‘

Served Him Right.
What promised to be an addition to
the altogether too long list of N orwalk
elopements was “nipped in the bud”
Sunday night by the father of the girl
who proposed getting married without
her parents’ consent. - She had her
satchel all packed and anxiously await-
ed the coming of her_lover,, who for
some reason or other did not call at the
time assigned. The mother of the girl
noticed that she seemed unusually ner-
vous. and after a while gained her con-
fidence in the matter, the girl with
tears in her eyes confessing all. The
father was advrse’d of the situation and.
he prepared to make the reception for
the young man_ a warm one. He first
secured a rawhide which he secreted
under his coat. Soon after the “young-
ster” put in his appearance, but instead
of being welcomed at the door by his
“heart’s desire” the‘ father met him
and asked him to walk inside. He then
sat down and the two talked on the
tepics of the day for half an hour, the
daughter, however, did not put in an
appearance. t was now' the young
man’s turn to get nervous for as the
father started to walk across the room
the rawhide dropped to the floor. The
young man immediately came to the
conclusion that all had been discovered
and made a dash for the door but too
late, for the “man of the house” turned
the key. What happened afterward
the young man Will not tell, but the
neighbors were aroused by some pretty
loud yelling and cries of “ Let me go! ”-
and the victim was finally seento tum-
ble from the piazza With the “old
man’s” boot in close proximity to his
coat tails. He managed to regain his
feet and started for his team which-he
unhitched and drove off. We have
been requested not. to publish the
names of the parties interested and re,-
luctantly refrain from so doing. But
if you see a seven dollar a week -' young
man with a brand-new and livid streak
across his face, he is the party who got

A New Law Which Goes Into Effect
4 Today.
Sales of Goods on‘ the installment
Plan Must be Recorded in the
Town Clerk’s Office.
Alaw which was passed at the last
session of the legislature and goes into
effect to-day Will cause a stir and create
no end of comment: The law provides
for the recording in the' town clerk’s
office of all sales made on the install-
ment plan. It has notvbeen the rule to
record sales of this kind. The: person
desiring to purchase a bill of goods on
the installment plan pays a small
amount down, takes the goods into his
possession and pays the balance of the
bill in weekly or monthly installments.
The law is as follows:
Section}. All contracts for the sale of per-
sonal property. conditioned that the title
thereto shall remain _in the vendor after deli-
very. shall be in writing, describing the prop-
erty and all the conditions of such sale, ac-
knowledged before some competent authority
and recorded in‘the town clerk’s ofiice in the
town where the vendee resides.
Sec. 2. All conditional sales. of personal
prefierty which shall be made in conformity
Wit the promions of the preceding section
shall be held to be absolute sales, except
against the vendor. and his heirs. and allsuch
property shall be liable to be taken by attach-
ment and execution for the debts of the ven-
dee. in the same manner as any other property
not exempted by law. -
Just how this will affect the install-
ment busmess cannot be said as yet;
There are several concerns in town do-
ing that kind ' of business, and their
trade amounts to thousands of dollars
annually. Many people will not care
to buy goods if they have to have the
transaction recorded.
It Will not under the new law be safe
for a merchant to sell goods“ without
recording the transaction, because any
creditor of the purchaser may attach
goods and the seller has no claim upon
them, even though the purchaser has
paid but a small amount of the total
cost of the same. .
In many cases during the past year
persons holding bills against their
neighbors discovered that the latter
had come into possession of pianos or
other property liable to attachment.
The creditor in such cases would con-
sult a lawyer, the latter would draw
the necessary papers, take his fee and
dispatch a constable to serve the pa-
pers. The. constable would earn his
fee by servmg the papers and. then the
merchant who sold the goods would
step in and claim that the attachment .-
Was invalid, because the goods had not
been paid for and that they'were his
property until paid for in full, and not
the property of the person upon whom
the attachment paper had been served.
The object of the new law is to locate
the ownership of property under such
conditions. Hereafter when a consta-
ble_ gets papers to serve on property
which he suspects has been purchased
on the installment plan he will visit the
town clerk’s office, and if he finds no
record of the sale he will attach the
{irogooty with the certainty that he can

John Ronk Dead.
Selectman Daskam was in receipt,
Sunday, of a telephone message from
the Bridgeport hospital, stating that
John Ronk, who was there under treat-
ment, could not live but a few hours.
The dying man told the attendant phy-
sician that he had a wife (Aunty Miller)
living in Norwalk and expressed a wish
to see her before he died. He breathed
his last at 3 o’clock. Mr. Daskam went
to the hospital and took charge of the
poor man’s effects, the only thing of
value ‘ being his discharge papers.
Ronk was a member .of Co. D, 48th N.
Y. Vols., and a pensioner. He was 56
years of age, and was, we believe, a
native of Bethel. The deceased was a
well-known character about town, and
created quite a sensation a few years
since by wedding “Aunty” Miller, the
marital knot being tied by Judge Aus-
tin in the presence of Editors Wade
and Rodemeyer and a few other gen-
tlemen. He had few enemies and many
friends. His remains will be interred
at Bridgeport. - --

Neither were there any gambling,th1ev-

The acrobat performing was extra fine,
the side-shows excellent and the men-
agerie good. Every feature of the ring
performance was good and some of
them were more than first-class. _ .ain’s

A Three Year Old WiltOn Avenue
Boy Burned to Death. ’
Set, His CiOthes-on Fire with
‘ Matches. ‘
Edwin Ferrari, the three year oldso‘n
of Henr L. Spicer, architect, who
lives on iltonav-enue, chmbed up to .
a pantry shelf, Sunday, a little after
noon, and got some matches. The lit-
tle fellow then quieti wandered down
to the end of the gar an at the_crest of
the railroad cut, Where he. ignited the
matches and set his mushn skirts on
fire. The father heard him scream and
ran to see what was the mattor. Before
he came in sight of the child, he saw
smoke rising up above the little wood--
shed at the foot of the lot and behind
which he found the child completoly
enveloped in flames. The father. in-
stantly' tore off his blazing clothing,
burnin both his own hands so severe-
ly in, oing. so, that the skin peeled ,
from the inside and several nails on his
fingers are likely to come ofi‘. The
child was frightfully burned from its
feet up its body to the side of its face.
The father bore the little sufferer to
the house and ran for Dr. Baldwin,
who immediately responded and did all
in his power to alleviate his sufferings.
The agonized mother then sent the
half frantic father forRev. Mr. Wat-
kins to come and baptize the child,
which the good Rector promptly did
and administered such religious conso-
lation to the stricken family as was pos-
81ble.. The boy expired at 6:30 in the
evening. ~
The funeral of the little one is to
be attended on Wednesday, the inter-
ment being private. The child was ex-
oeedingly active, bright and interest-
ing, and a favorite with all who knew
him. The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their sudden andterrible affliction.
