The Gazette has the largest cir- culatlon of any paper In Norwalk, and furnishes the lowest advertising rates- Littla Town Meetings. . A few newspapers that ought to know better. are worrying themselves and their readers by wondering why a num- ber ot' Massachusetts towns elected democratic mayors at the recent elec- tions, While the state itself went repub- lican by a. surprisingly large majority. Fall River, Fitchburg, Woburn, Quin- cy,ChicOpee, Malden, Lawrence,North- ampton and Pittsfield have all voted themselves democratic mayors and as these places—like almost all other Mas- sachusetts towns—are deeply interest- ed in manufactures there seems to be. some difficulty in understanding when the people supposed to be interested in protection should support men who are politically in accord with the author of the Wilson tariff bill. The situation is not, however, at all enigmatic. Clearly local and not national issues were fought over in these municipal elec- tions. The merits of the candidates and not protection or tariff reform, or republicanism or democracy were in the minds of voters. This is as it should be in municipal elections. Par- tisan considerations enter to' a far greater extent than they should in the choice of men who are to spend the money of tax-payers for the protection and development of a municipality,and whose functions are of a business and not a political character. The result of this intrusion of national issuesinto' municipal politics is invariably demer- alizing. It is a hopeful occurrence when in municipal elections the best men win, no matter what their political predilections may be. ‘ -. Time to Advertise. “All times are good times for ad ver- tising, but some times are better than others. The present time is one of them.” These words of a contemporary are worth attention. There is no doubt that they are true, but it is important that advertisers should know why they are true. It is not enough to simply make a statement. which might bear the evidence of self-interest. The reason why the piesent is a rare opportunity to advertise is-that every- body is tryiug to economize in some way, and if every-advertiser can show this can be dune, he will obtain unusu- ally good results. Another equally im- portant reason is that merchants who advertise extensively will not be obliged to carry such large lines of goods, and can fill orders almost from the manufac— tories, thereby saying a large amount in interest for carrying stock and in de- preciation from goods left over. _ These are the two leading reasons why the present times are excellent for ad- vertising. There are numerous others, among them the fact that the man who has energy to push forward and do business while his rival is discouraged will get the trade of both firms. Then too, the public has come to look upon the large and liberal advertisers among merchants as the men sure to be most liberal in treatment of their cus. tomers, and the reason is obvious, the merchant who advertises most, sells the most and can afford the best bargains. This is the season also, when the news- “papers are especially searched for Christ- mas goods, which however hard the times, will be purchased in perpetua- tion of a most beautiful and cherished custom. So that now is the time of all others when trades people should most largely advertise. A word to the wise, etc. ' Grand Army Encampment.

'13. —The Chicago post- ‘ofllce, located in. the heart of the city, was the scene of a bold robbery last night, the perpetrators of 'which had not, up to a late hour this morning, been ap- prehended. Andrew J. Robertson, cashier of the wholesale stamp department, was found by R. Zimmerman and Miss Marlo Jones, two clerks, lying on the floor of his office in a. pool of blood about 10 o’clock last night. , . Medical aid was at once summoned and when Robertson-had suficiently recovered he made a statement, saying’ that at about 7:30, while he was engaged in balancing. up his accounts, some one appeared at his window and asked him‘ how he was com— ing out. ' Robertson replied that he thought he was all right. ' The stranger said that he had sent his boy for stamps during the day and that Robertson had given him too many, and that he would return them it Robertson would open the door. , When the man gave a private rap used by the clerks in the building the door was opened. . , As soon as the robber was inside the Office he attacked Robertson and a terrible conflict ensued. Money "was scattered all over the Office, one package of $300, one of $500 and one of $800 being found on the floor. ' Robertson was finally reduced to un- consciousness and the thief decamped tak< iug what money was in sight. The exact amount taken is not known, but it is said by government employes, that the sum will reach $7,000.

USE DANA’S SABSAPARILLA.IT’S ‘ THE KIND THAT CU RES." 0.. To Teach Germany. Connecticut is to teach Germany how to cultivate oysters. A prominent mem- ber of the firm"of Coulter & McKenzie of Bridgeport, in'communication with a reporter, referring to this statement, said: “We have just finished a com- plete set of models in the dredging line, showing how oysters are culti- vated, and also the method of exter- minating their enemies in this state; and we will send to Germany a com- plete list of specimens, consisting of oysters, stars, Winkles and drills. » “The collection is the most complete of any in the country, as it contains a sample of every size of chain used. both by steam and sailing boats; all sizes of ropes and dredge twine, and with a complete set of reports to the Connecticut shell fish commission to date, and to other state commissions. This collection has been made for Dr. Ernest Ehrenbaum of Germany, who has been sent out by that government to visit every state in this country where oysters are cultivated or grown naturally and investigate and make a report. It will be forwarded this week.” _ ' For some years past the German government has been experimenting in the cultivation of oysters, with sig : nal failure. They labored under the impression that, if they had a close season—allowing no ' oysters to be caught or the beds attended to—there would be a phenomenal increase in the harvest. In many of their best 10- calities they tried this scheme for nine years,-with the result that nearly all their oysters are now, extinct. It was for this reason‘lhat Dr. Ehrenbaum, the able writer .on fish, was selectedby the government to make 'an investigation ofiAmer‘ilfl’s system of- cultivatin ”the ‘si‘ioci‘ilent‘bi'valve. _ The learned “ o'ctor is1‘~-the author of _'some of‘._the’ leading- piscatOrial, works in theGerman’ tongue," and his studieson sturgeons and shrimps are now translated into several _ Ian; gauges. . “THE uni 0181:. Mrs. Fahan Discharged and Mike Found Guilty. Fined $50 and Sentenced to Thirty Days in Jail, From Which De— cision He Appeals. The F ahsn case was continued before Justice Austin Tuesday afternoon. When the case Opened Attorney Hon- necker presented a certificate from the clerk of the court to show that Michael Fahan did not have a license. To this Attorney Frost objected, as he has to nearly everything tending to weave the web around Fahan, but the Justice al- lowed it to be placed in evidence. The Justice decided that it was not neces- sary for the prosecution to show that Fahan had a license. The prosecution then rested and Attorney Frost de- clined to Offer any evidence for the de- fense. The Justice stated that he would ICSCI ve his decision until after Mrs. Fahan’s case was heard. Attor- ney Frost then agreed to submit the same eVidence taken in the case of Mike, and Mrs. Fahan was placed upon the stand and was examined by Attor- ney Frost. She swore that no liquor was sold at her place on Sunday; that she kept ’no place open and none was open. When cross-examined by Attor- ney Hounecker Mrs. Fahan stated that she did not‘say to Mr. Honuecker the night of the raid, “ Don’t be too hard on_ us Mr. Honnecker for we are all Irish.” She admitted taking a bottle of whiskey out of the kitchen and plac- ing it on the dining room table when the officers entered her room. She de- nied that she said there was no way to the refrigerator excepting through the front door of the saloon, notwithstand- ing the officers present at the time of the raid heard her say it. She admits ted seeing Usell drinking, but swore that she did not know where he got the beer from. When trapped by Attorney Honnecker on this point she denied having made the statement and changed her testimony and said that Mike gave the beer to Usell. She denied having seen anyone pay for drinks; generally received her guests on Sunday evening in the kitchen; had liquor in dining room when officers arrived, it was for herself and guests; there was a pint of whiskey and five bottles of beer; would drink it all herself if sick; saw Mike bring liquor in kitchen door, but did not ask him where he got it. When Mrs. Fahan’s testimony closed Attor- ney Frost under the guise of arguing her case went thoroughly into the case of Mike and severely criticised Usell, the one witness who had bought beer of Mike and refused to perjure himself. During Attorney Frost’s flight of or- atory he slightingly referred to the newspapers in their efforts to assist At- torney Honnecker in stopping the ille- gal sale of liquor. He also made the startling-"statement that, “If brother Honnecker had made a raid on my house on that day he would have found more Whiskey and beer than he did at Mrs. Fahan’s.” As there were eleven kegs and five full cases of beer and a pint bottle of whiskey found at Mrs. Fahan’s we are led to the belief that when making this statement Attorney Frost was carried away by the applause he received from the sympathizers and frequenters of the Fahan’s. Attorney Honnecker followed and gave Mike such a lashing that he will not soon forget it. Attorney Frost, like all old practitioners who have a poor case and are pitted against a younger attorney, continually guyed Attorney Honnccker, but the prosecuting attor- ney soon brought him to his feet to de- fend Mike from the terrible scoring he was receiving, but without avail as At- torney Honnecker only lashed him the harder.
