NORWAHWGAZETTE.
THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Intertidal in all mints: Neutral Ill nothing.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishes the lovvest advertisinz
rates-
A Warning.
The Sun energetically says: “Repub-
lican Tom Reed held up the House of
Representatives i or morethan five hours
yesterday, and compelled the Demo-
cratic majority to agree to a ten days"
delay when they present the bill which,
they pledged the people last November;
would be presented at the earliest 0p-;
portunity if they were placed in power.§
Reed and his filibusters were enabled
to hold up the House Of Representatives.
through the carelessness of a numberi
of Democratic members who wilfully
deserted their posts of duty without
reason or cause, knowing that import-j
ant questions were sure to arise before‘
adjournment. Nine of these careless
members are from New York and
Brooklyn. '
We remind these Democrats, con-
tinues the Sun, that the Republicans
will make a bitter fight in favor of
what the people last November called
an unconstitutional tariff, and that they
will be led by Tom Reed, who is wily
and bitter partisan enough to indulge
in anything which will prevent the
Democrats from carrying out their
pledges to the people.
Consider this, Democrats.
must be no Shirking of the tarifi' ques-
tion. The Democratic platform must
be carried out, and every Democrat
must stick to his post and see that it is
done. The man who leaves his post is
a deserter, and the man who shirks a
vote is worse.”
The World’s Fair.
It is impossible that any really great
achievement. can fail of recognition,
though very often it is to the greatest
achievements that recognition comes
most tardily. This has been true of
the World’s Fair. There were reasons
enough, quite apart from' sectional jeal-
_ easy or distrust, why the world did not
and could not expect anything so glori-
ous. There was nothing in Chicago,
says the Philadelphia Times, except its
expansive energy, to justify such ex-
pectation. It is a big, strong, bustling,
enterprising city, but taste and beauty,
art and poetry, seem farthest away
froniits characteristics. If we expect-
ed anything from such a city it would
be in a merely utilitarian way; and yet
in what it has actually done the utilitar-
ian and material is transfigured into
something fso beautiful, so poetical,
that we have to go to dreamland to find
its parallel.
Indeed this great exhibition was so
entirely without precedent that even
pictures and descriptions convey but
a faint idea of it, and the visitor’s first
impression is always that of something
unexpected. It is small wonder, there—
fore, that a consciousness of its impor-
tince made its way only slowly through
the country. It was not until the
enthusiasm of those who had been to
Chicago and returned had time to make
itself felt that a majority of the people
of the East aroused themselves to the
necessity Of a pilgrimage to the White
City by the Lake.
Thus it happened that the Fair was
neglected through the season of its
freshness and its greatest beauty.
The later visitors missed one of the
greatest charms of the Fair, the dreamy
twilights of midsummer and the en-
chanting night scenes on the water,
and the buildings themselves showed
some sign of wear and tear. But that
was .their penalty for delay as it was
a part of the reward of those who rose
to the occasion early and saw the great
spectacle at its best. Early or late,
it was a spectacle unknown before and
never to be repeated. '
__......-————oo..—.~
An Era of Congratulation.
We observe with joy, says the Wash-
4..—
ington Post, that while the organs are ,
felicitating themselves upon the happy
consummation of silver repeal and cats.
loguing the benefits that will insure to
mankind by reason of their devoted ef-
fort, a number of the ablest statesmen
and' economists in Congress are passing
around the loving cup and drinking
deep droughts of glory and satisfaction
as it reaches them. This is as it should
be. When newspapers and orators save
the'count'ry, they are right to rejoice and
admire themselves. He who arrests a
nation tottering on the brink of doom
and restores it to a place of everlasting
safety is great in his generation. He
is entitled to the grateful tribute of his
fellow citizens,whether it take the form
of Lueullan feasts in a- restaurant fairy-
land or contents itself with the humble
but in’g’enibus beer. _.
There
Not the least interesting feature of
the situation is the difference of Opin-
ion as to where the greatest honor lies.
We have a single act of salvation. but
are asked to choose among a score or
two of saviours. We do not, however,
find the smallest fault with this. It
strikes us'rather as a fresh testimony
to the virtue of our institutions and
the independent thought of the Ameri-
can people. We regard it as a cause of
pride and reassurance that, while the
fame of Mr. Voorhees fills the valley
and flutters the sycamores of the storied
Wabash, the leadership and prowess of
Hon. Charles’Tracey, New York’s fav-
orite son, should wake to ecstasy every
echo within a hundred miles of Albany.
In this way the, honor and the glory
are distributed and everybody-Fzgets a
dividend. Bunker Hill can tell“‘itself
that the pilgrim fathers boiled down
into the Henry Cabot Lodge decoction
did it. Dear little Rhode Island':?may
crown her Aldrich conqueror. And so
on. Even as regards the conquered
ones, Alabama may say that Pugh and
Morgan, were overpowered by the van-
dal foe, and, away off in the academic
groves of Tishomingo a proud people
will take comfort in the thought that,
with a few more henchmen at his heels
and a somewhat larger commissariat,
’John Allen would have carried all be-
fore him. 4
It is the era of congratulation and
rejoicing. Everybody is happy and
the goose of the millenium hangs high,
though we hope not out of sight.

John Eats Them In Stacks.
The Beardsley House. bachelors picked
the first pancakes of the season this
morning. This popular fruit has an ex-
cellent flavor this season, and a very

have stunted the "growth, as the sam-
ples submitted this morning were
dwarfed and wizzled. The cock, how-
ever, promises to climb higher up in
the buckwheat tree and see if he can’t
shake off some bigger ones. The crank
of the bachelors table never eats them
because they make him break out with
ulcerated goose-pimples. The bachelor
who who was disappointed in love, in-
dulges only moderately because. they

powders are humbugs. The bachelor

To Wait For Legislature.
When the Consolidated road attempt-
ed tO arrange for elevating and four
tracking its lines through Bridgeport
the stuff of Engineer Thompson, who
has charge of the work. contained quite
a number of men. It was understood
after the failure of the legislature to
pass the special railroad bill for Bridge
port, that the road would wait for
another session before improving
Bridgeport.
In the meantime the four tracking
improvements have proceeded to the
very borders of the city where they will
stop. Yesterday several members of
the engineers staff were laid of be-
cause of lack of work. This is one of
the signs that indicate the intention of
the Consolidated to drop Bridgeport
like a hot chestnut and may he regard-
ed as prima facie evidence that Bridge~
port people will be allowed to admire
the old depot for at least two years
more. The. work within the city limits:
it was estimated, would have taken
three years.

Stanford’s Niece sued. ‘
Mrs. Christine Lathrop Gunning, a
niece of the late Senator Stanford,
and said to be a beneficiary to the ex-
tent of $100,000'i‘1uder his will, is de.
fendent in a litigation instituted by
Ditt‘enhoefer, Gerber & James for the
Lincoln bank to collect the face and
interest on a $5,000 note. ‘
The note Was executed by her hus-
band, Thomas B. Gunning, Jr., and
indorsed by her. 'Judgment was ob-
tained against her in Connecticut.
Of late [supplementary proceedings
have been pushed against her in order
to collect the judgment. Mrs. Gun-
ning’s attorney, J. S. Baucus, appeared
before Justice Barrett in the Supreme
Court Chambers to-day, and moved to
set the judgment aside.
The ground alleged for this was that
her husband had forced her to sign this
particular note and others.
She also said that he had threatened,
unless she did sign, he would send her
to an insane asylum, and that he had
thrown a lamp at her, forced her to un-
dergo hardships and bent: her fingers
to the backs of her hands, all for the
purpose of forcing her to indorse his
paper.

In answer to this plea counsel for the
bank argued that their client knew
nothing of this duress and had paid full
value for the note. . . ' , 4'

It Came Too Late, However, to Have
Any Material Effect on Fall Trade.
Farmers Still Economizing, and
Storekeepers Sparing in Purchases.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Telegraphic ad-
vices to Bradstreet from many of the more
important business centres are that some
effects of the passage of the silvenpurchase
repeal law is reflected in an improved
tone in financial circles, and. the growth
of confidence of merchants in the outlook.
But it should not be disguised that the re-
peal istoo late to have an effect on fall
trade. Repeal meaning merely the re-
moval of a prime cause of recent panic and
stingency and resulting in contraction of
trade, time will be required to build ‘up

Slight Improvement Already.
Far~seeing merchants interviewed Wise-
ly admit little prospect of a revival in gen-
eral demand this; year. Manufacturers

ers in eastern and central-western states.
are'still idle or on greatly reduced wages.
The earlist reported effect of repeal is
seen in an improvement in demand for
commercial paper at New York and some
other centres. The only improvement in
demand for general merchandise this week
is slight, at Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Iowa cities. In the cotton growing dis-
tricts of the south collections are im-
proved. The like is true in Illinois, Mis-
souri and Nebraska grain growing dis-
tricts, but the country people are econo-
mizing rigidly, and interior storekeepers
therefore refuse to buy except for immedi
ate needs, although stocks are light.
Still Drill in Staple Lines.
Travelers in staple lines south and west
and southwest report that seldom has
trade ever been so dull; that merchants
will not anticipate wants at any price.
The long prevailing stagnation in iron and
steel and the woolen industry shows no
sign of an early change. The cotton
manufacturing industry is relatively bet-
ter situated. There is evidence, too, of
more activity in shoes, brown cottons, to-
bacco and anthracite coal. The north-
_*Western lumber cut will be short this
winter, but lumber now is generally quiet.
Clothing has had a disappointing fall de-
mand, and tanners are waiting for shoe
manufacturers to buy stocks of leather.
Surprising Gain in Bank Clear-lugs.
Bank clearings for October show a. sur-
prising gain, aggregating $3,983,596,000
at cities having comparisons for four years,
an increase of 2-0 per cent. over Septem-
ber, which was low-water mark. Con-
trast-ed with October last year the decrease
is 27 per cent. and with two preceding
Octobers the falling GE is still heavier.
For ten months clearings aggregate $45,—
744,364,000 or nine per cent. less than in
ten months of 1892.
Wheat is off again on heavy supplies,
the total available in the United States
and Canada, in and afloat for Europe, being
172,825,000 bushels, the heaviest Novem-
ber 1 total on record. -
The New York stock market is dull and
depressed by the heavy liquidation and
realization of speculative profits which
followed the passage of the silver repeal
bill. The “street” is disappointed at the
failure of the buying power. which that
event was expected to bring in from the
public both here and in Europe.
‘Moderate Activity in Some Lines.
There is a better tone for lower grades
of brown cottons at Boston, but the out-
look for woolen manufacturers is no better.
The clothing trade is backward, but the
outlook is for increased activity among
shoe manufacturers. Philadelphia dry
goods commission houses are more hope-
ful, and demand for shoes is firmer, but a
better demand there is found only for to-
bacco. Baltimore jobbers report a some-
what better demand from the south for
shoes, heavy and light hardware, millinery,
fancy goods and glassware. At Plttsburg
jobbers are buying for immediate wants,
although business in hardware, drugs,
shoes, groceries and dry goods shows mod-
erate activity. At Buffalo the demand
for and movement of anthracite coal are
fair, and stocks of lumber are ample,
with holders firm.

FROM TADPOLE‘TO FROG.
_’l‘he Strange and Interesting Career of a
‘ Polliwog.
Frogs are mainly juice. . If they try
to make more than a. short journey
away from moisture, in‘ a. drought,
they will perish for want of water;
and then their bodies will dry away.
The frog’s bones are so soft that he
scarcely leaves any skeleton.
A frog meets with remarkable
changes during his natural life. He
begins as an egg and hatches out as
a fish. That is, a. tadpole, or polliwog,
at first has gills, breathing water
alone. In his early days, however, the
tadpole soon loses the outside part of
his gills and breathes air; so that he
has to cometo the surface of the water
every fewrminutes, like a. porpoise, to
get a. fresh gulp of breath. '
During’th‘e first part of his career, he
swims by seulling with his long tail.
After awhile his legs begin to grow
out, his tail becomes shorter and
shorter, and'when he is. a complete
frog, he has no tail at all, but swims
by kicking. When half frog and half
tadpole, he still has a. good deal of
tail, and, in addition, big hind legs
and mere sprouts of fore legs; so that
he is a. very funny-looking fellow. A
bullfrog-tadpole at this stage seems
“neither of heaven nor of earth.”
Again, the tapole eats water-plants;
but when he becomes a. frog, he feeds
on animal life. Tadpoles eat the green
moss or “scum” that we see so often
on logs and plants in a. stagnant pool,
and they show a. good appetite for soft,
decaying water-growths. The fouler
the pool, the happier thetadpoles. ‘ As‘
they are numerous, and thus devour a.
great amount of matter that would
make it very unhealthful to live near a.
stagnant! pond, they are really useful
creatures.
In captivity they will generally eat
meat, Whether good or bad, as well as
bread and bran dough; and, as a spe‘
cial relish, will sometimes lunch on
one another’s tails.
The common frog gets his final shape
in the first season; but the bullfrog-
goes under the mud for the winter,
while still a. tadpole; and it takes we
least another summer, and sometimes
more, before he has full right to be
called a frog. He is some four years
from the egg when in full growth, and
does not become a. bullfrog until ten
years more.
Stylish W’eavings.
Honeycomb patterns, bird’s-eye de-
_ signs, hop—sacking,both plain and glace,
and basket weavings are all represented
in the new woolens, sometimes in a single
color, sometimes in a. melange of many
colors, in which, however, one of the
new dark shades prevails. Illuminated
stuffs and jardiniere effects combine
several colors tastefully in scrges, in
wider diagonals, in repped wools, and .
in ai'mure weaving. Small designs in
silk are added to wool in bright-colored
dots, dashes, and what appear to be
stitches taken by hand. Very hand-
some armure woolens have Wide sel-
vag‘es in light shades to be used as bor-
de trimmings and in cross-rows as in-
sertions are now used. Diagonal stripes
in basket weaving of contrasting colors
are very pretty indeed. Double-faced
woolens are of. harmonious colors, to
be used as facings, one upon the other.
Tobacco brown with blue or with green
and black With solferino red, are pop<
ular colorings in new woolens. -——Harp-

Temperance Statistics.
They were talking about expenses
and how some men got rich.
Said one: “My butcher and baker
have made enough money out of me to
build themselves splendid residences."
“And,” responded the other, “the
barkeepers I patronized have built
Whole blocks out of what I owe them.”
-—Texas Siftings.
-—“How many stories has ' this build-
ing?” asked the stranger. “Several
thousand,” was the reply. “What—
where am I?” “In the fiction depart-
ment of the public library.”
