THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER. independent ii all things: lltllllal lll inning. The Gazette has the largest cir— culatlon of any paper in Norwalk. and furnishes the lowestadvertislnz rates- Should be investigated._ If the communication published in the Sentinel on Saturday last stating that, “ an early riser walking down West avenue, Thanksgiving Day morn- ing, saw a rum-crazed mob march out of the Armory and go up the street with bugle and drums playing a drunk on tune,” and he then “entered the Armory and saw the United States flag lying on the floor, trampled under foot among the broken bottles and glasses,” be true, it is high time that a searching investigation be made by those higher in authority than the Captain of com- pany F. _ It is a Well-known fact that after the close of Co. F’s ball on Thanksgiving Day mdrning, a crowd did march up the avenue beating drums and making the air hideous with their howls. Who these guilty parties were the GAZETTE does not know, from informa- tion imparted, however, several were undoubtedly members of CO. F. A rigid investigation into this alleged disgraceful orgie should be made by the military authorities, in order that no one be given a coat of whitewash and the matter hushed up as is too Of- ten the case. Don’t Want Laborers. White working men in Florida are very much afraid that unemployed la- bor from the north Will move south- ward as cold weather comes on and thus complicate conditions that are now far from ratisfactory. In a circus lar sent out from Jacksonville there is discouragement enough to keep away every toiler who may have planned an excursion to the land of flowers. After calling attention to the fact that there are but eight towns in the state With a population exceeding 1,000, while the largest of them has but 17,000, the cir- cular proceeds to say that “ as winter approaches, vast numbers of mechan- ics, laborers, etc., in the northeast and west are getting ready for a trip south. Year after year the same miserable farce is enacted. Thousands of men come flocking to a place where the home labor is starving for want of work, and by Christmas time we find hundreds of men begging a job for their board, or if they arefortunate in having a fine kit of tools they possibly raise from five to ten dollars on an en- tire kit to get out of the state. Com- mon sense ought to teach men that a state With less population than Boston or Buffalo, (and half of them negroes,) [cannot support the entire surplus idle population of the states which float here every Winter. A stranger here without money is a tramp, and is eligi- ble for membership to“ the chain gang, under a negro overseer.” Comment would hardly seem necessary upon the above showing. ' ———~——<§>——————— Climax of the Football Season. The great championship games of the season are over. Now that we know which club is champion We can afford to condemn the game as brutal and de- grading, particularly as our side got the worst of it. Nevertheless it is an indisputable fact that we were all more interested, in the Thanksgiving Day games Ithfifianything else, excepting our dinners. . '- What oratorical contest or prize com petition requiring intellectual effort alone, asks the WashingtonPost, ever aroused the whole American puplic to such interest in college affairs as these annual championship games? Barbaric though as they'mcy be in some respects, there are in every man’s veins a few drops of fighting blood.which fly to the head at the very mention of these fierce contests of mind and'muscle. ‘ It mat- ters not that the bone of contention is but a windblOwn pigskin; it is the pluck, science and skill displayed in the game that constitutes its charm: , From reports of Thursday’s contest it. appears that the .game is improving. There is more open playing and less confused struggling; more running and kicking and less’ piling up on too of the ball, with the aim of 'injuring. if you cannot defeat. While weight and strength will always be important fac- tors of the game, scientific playing is more in practice, and the results can- not .be other than an improvement. This Was the case with the intercollegi- ate contest. '- Yale’s downfall was a great surprise, yet impartial spectators of the game re- joiced to see plucky Princeton retrieve her waning prestige. Several successiVe defeh‘t’s did not disb‘o'ur‘afge "th'e' Nassau boys in the’ least, but in adversity they studied how to triumph. Harvard re- lied too much on theories, so Yale won easily; but the Princeton boys not only knew the tricks of their adversaries,but played a close scientific game. Conse- quently the Yale team bit the dustpalp though their success in keeping down the score was greatly to their credit. However, they made a plucky fight, and should follow Princeton’s example by studying how to win next time. oc——-—~——.-4 ’ TERSE TALES OF lHE TIMES.

A good story is told in which Nelson Hubbell, the carpenter, is the hero. Thanksgiving eve he purchased a twen- .ty pound turkey and taking it home placed it in the pantry, remarking, as he did so, “I guess I will nail up the window as I don’t propose to have my turkey stolen.” The pantry is on the ground floor. He drove two ten—penny nails in the pantry window and peace- fully retired to rest. The next morn- ing on going to the pantry he found the upper sash Of the window down, but the turkey all right.‘ He at first marveled at the fact, and thought that some one had attempted to get in and had been frightened aWAy He then attempted to raise the sash but could not do so. Closer investigation dis- closed that it Was nailed tightly to the casing. It then dawned upon him that at the time he had driven the nails in to secure the turkey from being stolen the window was wide Open at the top. A. relation of the story added consider- able zest to the dinner when the “turk” was carved. Queer Dueling “’eapo'm. In 1887 a curious duel was fought in Paris, when two rivals met at the house of their divinity. After a. few high words an immediate encounter was de- cided upon, and neither swords nor pistols being at hand two ornamental crossbows were taken from the walls of the drawing-room. An adjourn- ment into the garden was made, and in a. few minutes one Of the lovers was pierced in the arm (by his op- ponent’s shaft. In 11:91 astill more singular duel was fought, the weapons in this case being umbrellas. ' After a furious struggle, one of the combatants fell, run through the eye, and soon afterward died. __________________.— ~ The Mexican Revolution.

A” Prosecuting Attorney Hounecker Raids Three Liquor Law ' Violaters. Mrs. Maria; Godsen. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Fahan and the Gorm- leys Arrested. ' Constables Sam Ireland and Dan Mc- Intyre armed with warrants visited the saloon of Mrs, Maria Godson on South Main street, South Norwalk, Sunday evening, and- on gaining an entrance found the sale of liquor going on con- trary to law and placed Mrs. Godson under arrest. She was taken before Prosecuting Agent George Honnecker and released on a $50 cash bond fur- unhed by Mr. Godson, to appear-boo fore Justice Austin on Wednesday ~morning at 9 o’clock. After the Godson case was disposed of the officers were giVen writs'to .raid the saloon on Main street, Norwalk, kept by Mrs. Katie Fahan. A detour was made and the back entrance to the Fahai. kitchen Was reached. Three raps on the door were promptly re- sponded to by Mrs. Fahan and the offi- cers entered. Here they found five men sitting about the room somewith bottles and Others with glasses of beer in their hands quietly drinking, while on the table was a bottle of whiskey and empty glasses enough to have sup- plied any number of callers. Both Mr. and Mrs[ Fahan were placed under ar- rest and subsequently released under $100 bonds each furnished by John Hogan, to appear before Justice Aus- tin on Tuesday morning at 9 O’clock. During the absence of Constable Mc- Intyre with Fahan in search of a bondsman, Prosecu'ing Attorney Hon- necker served a search warrant and with Constable Ireland they made a search of the premises and found half a case of beer. Attorney Honnccker inquired of Mrs. Fahan for the en- trance leading from the upper part of the buildiiig to the saloon, but she in- sisted that there was no way to get into the saloon excepting from, the Main street entrance. Satisfied that there was some way of getting the supply of liquor upstairs from the saloon Attor- ney Honnecker took the lamp from off the table and started to find the hidden passage. Upon going out of the back door which leads to the roadway enter. ing into High street he discowred what appeared to be a high board fence. A close inspection showed a door which he quickly pushed’icpe‘h and thrust the lamp inside. The rave of the lamp re- vealed a narrow pair of winding stairs built on a trestle supported by the stone wall at the rear of the building. A lighted lantern was quietly reposing below and the party headed by Agent ~Honnecker descended. Here the mys- tery was all explained. Out in the yard stood a huge ice box, and the rear glass door of the Saloon was boarded up with a wooden shutter which pre- vented any one looking in from the street from seeing what was going on at the rear. A demand was made upon Mrs. Fahan for the key to the ice box, but she said that Mr. Fahan had it. When the latter returned a similar de- mand was made upon him and he hasti- trance could only be had through the saloon entrance on Main street, but when told by Mrs. Fahan that the back entrance had been discovered he sud- dtnly lost the key to the box. Being told that unless the key was produced the door would be broken open he found it in his pocket and turned it over. to Attorney Honnecker. Upon opening the ice box five full cases of beer and eleven kegs were found, also a cash of ale from which ale had been drawn, as a partly filled pitcher was found standing on the kitchen table. After the Fahan raid. the officers se- cured teams and drove to the Gormley house at the corner of Prospect avenue and Step Rock Road, where two kegs and two empty beer cases were seiZed. A United States license No. 62416, to Daniel J. Gormley was hanging on the wall, which is sufficient evidence to convict him of selling without a license. Both Ed ard Gormley and Daniel J. were placed under arrest. The former was sick in, bed and was released on his Own recogniZance, but Daniel J. was taken before Justice Austin who re- leased him on bonds of $100 furnished by John H. Gormley, to appear Tues- day afternoon at 2 o’clock. USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLA, IT’S “ran KIND I'HAT CURES.” Q. He Will be Missed.

(Br MISS N OBODY.) The season is almost at hand when shop girls and shoppers will be called upon to .exercise all the patience that it is possible for them to drag forth from the nooks and corners of their mental and bodily make-up. Crowds are never pleasant, and such throngs as manage to fill the aisles and surround the counters the few weeks previous to Christmas are enough to drive the most amiably inchned to the verge of dis- traction. . You may think you have made out a list of exactly what you require and you mean to shop in systematic, meth- ' Odical fashion that will bring about glorious results. At home this plan appears to be quite feasible, but you get in a large store where the business ’ instincts of the proprietors have sug- gested the setting up of extra tables strewn with delightful odds and ends at distractingly low prices, and you at once forget all about the neat list of your requirements, and are as eager- ly anxious to secure some of these at- tractive features as though they were foremost among the articles you have set your, heart upon. _ Then commences at pushing and pull- ing. The young woman in charge .8 implored to wait on this, that and the other one right away, as they must make a train, and the kindly and con- sistent feeling of other times vanishes in the mad hurrah of Christmas shop- ing. At such times be sensible and remem- ber that even though it seems like an endless While before you are waited upon the sales-people are doing the very best that they can and if you were placed in their position perhaps you would not appear one-half as cheerful and composed under the fusilade of queries that assails them on every side.

A Danbury dispatch says since the 4,000 locked out batters have got thor- oughly organized and the different unions are olding daily meetings, the men seem to have taken a new lease of life and they say that they are now pre- pared for a three months’ siege with the manufacturers, where before they could look forward" with certainty to holding out but a month. . The unions have recaived assurances d assistance from various labor organi- zations in the country, whose members have been assisted by them in the past. Mrs. Ellen Foote, president of the trimmers’ union, has been literally flooded with letters offering substan- tial financial aid, both from other labor unions and from individuals. The leaders of the unions are agitat- ing the subject of starting a co-opera- tive hat shop. There are some vacant plants in the city, that are suitable for the purpose, and it is possible that they may be soon brought into requisition. Offers of land have already been made to the executive committee, and it is seriously considering the matter. It already has plans nearly perfected for the running of shops on c‘o-operative principles. The manufacturers show no signs of weakening as it is now un- derstood thatthe may keep their fac- tories closed till an. 1. The men now admit that the audit: not in view; that the manufacturers are solid in the de- termination to open as independent shops, but they say the manufacturers do not know the influence-that the men, as a body can wield.

LEE Is THE Favoni'raf He May Be the Long Term Sentor from Virginia. RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 4. —The Virginia Legislature meets Wednesday next and one of the chief features of interest as the day approaches for the assembling of this body is the contest for the United States senatorship. Well informed politicaus de- clare that the senators elect will be. Sou- ator Hunton and General Fitz Lee. The former for the short term .and the latter for the long term. Senator Hunton appears to have little or no serious opposition while in the con- test for the long term there are quite a number of aspirants. The battle, how- ever is evidently between General Lee and Mr. Thomas Martin, the friends of each claiming a majority on the first bal- lot. From a careful review of all the complex conditions incident to the race the chances are decidedly in favor of Lee. ASHBRIDGE’S DEBTS. Assignec Justice Says They Will Roach About $15,000.
