An Apology. ,
During the holidays the GAZETTE
will be obliged to surrender its columns
to the advertisers who desire to present
matters of interest to those engaged in
Christmas buying. To-day we yield to
the hustling Boston-store, which oc-
cupies the entire first page of the GA-
ZETTE with an interesting discourse
which will no doubt prove profitable
reading to the fair shoppers of Nor-

Evening Schools.
In order that the people of Norwalk
may understand that the injunction
grantéd by Judge Wheeler against the
Selectmen does not enjoin. the :School
Visitors or the Town of Norwalk from
maintgining evening schools at the ex-
penséfi of said town, the editor of the
Hour 0 the contrary notwithstanding,
we republish the prohibiting part of the
injunction, which cannot honestly be
construed to enjoin other than the Sc-
lectmen from establishing evening
schools and employing Mr. Maples as
principal.
* * therefore by authority of the
State of Connecticut, you, the said
town of N orwalk, and you the said Os-
car W. Raymond,Tallmadge Baker and
Samuel Daskam,selectmen of said town
of Norwalk, and William A. Curtis,
treasurer of said town of Norwalk, and
all of said town of Norwalk, and each
of you, your agents, servants and attor-
neys, are hereby strictly commanded
and enjoined under a penalty of 31,000
that you and each of you, do from
henceforth absolutely desist and-refrain
from paying any money from said town
treasury on account of the several acts
of the selectmcn set forth in the forego-
ing complaint in hiring teachers and
rooms or houses, and in providing books,
stationery and other school apparatus
. for said evening school, and from es-
tablishing and maintaining an evening
school in said town at the expense of
said town, until the session of the Supe-
rior court to be held in and for Fairfield
county (in the first Tuesday of January,
1894, and until said court shall make
further order in the premises.

A Good Suggestion.
EDITOR GAZETTEt—It is a source of
much pleasure to me to learn that over
"800 citizens of Norwalk desire to lift
themselves to a higher intellectual
.7 plane and become better prepared for
the battle of life and duties of citizen-
ship, and it is a matter of extreme re-
gret that their cry cannot be heard by
the Board of Selectmen and Board’of
School Visitors in tones loud and earn-
est enough to cause them to forget, or
at least put aside pride of opinion long
- enough to- adjust their differences and
let the hungry minds have food. It
does seem, inasmuch as the law gives
neither board authority to determine
the number of schools the town
shall establish or the length of time
. they shall be conducted, that the inter-
-. est which the school visitors have (the-
oretically at least) in educational mat-
ters, and the interest the selectmen have
manifested, they might get together,
andrecognizing the fact that no one
knows more than all together, devise
some place, present it to the town in
meeting assembled and ask it to ap-
prove the place, determine the number
of schools it will establish, the ' length
of time they should be conducted, and
appropriate the necessary amount of
money to pay the expenses. Hope de-
ferred maketh the heart sick. Let us
have one bright ray in this time of de-
pression. Avoid further injunctions.
Obey the mandates of duty and the
credit which will follow will be better
appreciated by being deserved.
I-trust Mr. Editor, that you will add
the weight'and influence of your paper
to bring about this much desired result.
Every citizen should add his influence
to force these bodies to heed this cry of
the 800. Yours,
J. BELDEN HURLBUTT.
No Decrease.
The County commissioners have very
nearly finished issuing liquor licenses
for the current license year‘for Fair-
field county. The last big batch was
issued in Stamford on Thursday when
the commissioners visited that town
and took in between $11,000 and $12,000.
There still remain about a score of
Stamford applicants who have not yet
"received licenses, but whose applica-
tions will soon be passed upon.
The number of licenses issued
throughout the county is about the
same as last year, the largest increase
in any one place having been in South
Norwalk. There, however, it was only
slight.

of senators and representatives when the
two housies met. In anticipation of the
holiday recess, which is expected to begin
next Thursday and with the understand-
come up in the interval, many of the leg
lslators have been slipping quietly away
remain till after the holidays.
" If the reading of the president’s .mesa
sage in the senate should not precipitate a
discussion, which from its general im-
portance may brush away rules and oc-
cupy the day, Mr. Hausbrough of North
Dakota will introduce a newsubject in the
shape of a resolution, upon which he will
speak, appropriating a. million dollars for
the extirpation of the Russian thistle,
which is dangerously — threatening the
agricultural prosperity of the northwest.
Mr. Dolph, of Oregon, will follow the
lead of Mr. Merrill, of Vermont, by mak-
ing aset speech on the tariff in advance of
the bill from the house. During the few
remaining days of the Week there may
be some speeches in the senate on the sub-
ject of the repeal of the federal election
laws, for, while the understanding was
that no attempt should be mud: to act
upon this measure until the senate meets
after the recess, there will be no objection
to calling up the bill at any time should
any senator wish to address the senate
upon the subject.
The bill reported last Thursday by Mr.
Cockrell,proposing :1 new method of postal
accounting, will doubtless be taken up
and passed during the week, and it may
incidentally arouse some discussion. in-
vol ving as it does a question touching one
of those privileges dear to the senate, the
riglit of its own committees to report leg-
islatiou.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will certainly provoke a partisan discus-
sion on the subject of pensions when it
comes over from the house, but the most
interesting subject of debate will be the
Hawaiian correspondence.
It is not likely that any bills will b:
called up in the house this week that will
be productive of such discussion owing to
the fact that the session will be limited to
five and possibly four days. .
The message of the president transmit-
ting the Hawaiian correspondence called
for by the Hitt resolution of. last Week,
will be referred by the house to the for-
eign affairs committee, and as the mem-
bers of that. committee desire to digest it
thoroughly before taking action upon it,
nothing is likely to be done with it in that
body until the house reassembles in Janu-
ary. Today is suspension day and should
the time not be entirely consumed in con-
siderutiou of the urgency deficiency appro-
priation bill, which is the regular order,
Mr. Wheeler, who has the New Mexico
bill in charge, will, if opportunity otters,
call it up under suspension of rules and
endeavor to pass it.
Mr. McRae, from the commit-tee on pub-
lic lands, will call up the bill to protect
forest reservations, which was discussed
during the extra session, and also try to
pass it under suspensions of the rules.
The fortifications bill will be reported
from the appropriations committee to-
morrow, but as it is not especially im-
portant, immediate action will not proba-
bly be taken upon it.
Mr. Springer from the committee on
banking and currency has been authorized
to report the bill to suspend the ten cent
tax bu clearing house certificates and other
notes issued by private individuals during
the late panic. As the measure -is likely
to Call forth more or less discussion, it,
like a number of other measures of im-
portance, will probably go over till after
recess. ’
There is some preSsu re on the committee
on rules to report a special order for the
Bailey bankruptcy bill. The sentiment of
the house is favorable to a discussion of
this measure and au‘elfort will be made
to substitute for it the Torrey bill, which
was defeated during the first Week of the
session, with the features objected to
stricken out. The bill as amended pro-
vides for voluntary and involuntary bank-
ruptcy, differing in this respect from the
Bailey bill, which provides only for in-
voluntary bankruptcy. ,

The Pope Celebrates Mass
in St.'Peter’s.
After
ii'i-nuoe Still the Anarchists——
Vaillant, as Defiant as Evor—-Lenvos
From limin's Diary—die Moupas—
snm‘s Pictures to Be Sold.
Roms,- Dec. 18,—The Pope celebrated
mass yesterday at St. Peter’s in the pres-
ence of15,000 persons, mostly delegates
and other members of Catholic societies in
Demo. The mass lasted half an hour.
The chaplain officiated at the second
thanksgiving mass which followed.
After the second mass the Pope received
the .address of the Catholic societies, and
Mgr. iadini read his reply. In this paper
His Holiness recalled the Christian glories
which superseded the pagan ceremonies in
ancient Rome. Those seeking to revive
the latter, he said, were trying to deprive
Rome of the diadeni with which God,
through St. Peter, had crowned her, and
were combating the decrees of the Al-
' mighty.
The Pope apparently was in excellent
health and spirits. He showed no signs
of fatigue. As he was borne out in the
sedia gestatoria, His Holiness blessed the
people. He was cheered repeatedly by the
great crowd. The ministers of Spain,
Portugal, Austria and Russia and fourteen
cardinals were present.
TH BEATS FROM ANARCHISTS.
Who: May Be Expected if‘ Vaillant
is Jtlxccutcd. '
PARIS, Dec. 18.——A package Containing
ten dynamite cartrides was found yester-
day on a porch in the Rue Cuvier which
bounds the Botanical garden on one side.
Each cartridge was wrapped in a copy of
an anarchist proclamation menacing death
to the bourgeoise. ,
A pocketbook lay near by. In it was a
printed statementaof the anarchist creed,
together with a card bearing the announce-
ment that “unprecedented horrOrs will be
committed and many deputies will, be
slain, if Vaillaut’s precious head be touched
by the executioner.” ‘
The Siecle says the police officials have
detected a plot to blow up the prefecture
of police.
Vaillaut Still Defiant.
PARIS, Dec. lS.‘—'—-Vaillaut is still defl-
ant. He declines to see the prison chap~
lain and is overbearing toward the attend-
ants in the infirmary. He eats heartily of
the luxuries which he procures in addition
to the regular infirmary fare. The money
for these luxuries is sent to him in anony-
mous letters. He leads for. hours daily.
He is not allowed to have the regulation
wooden shoes, as it is feared he would use
them to attack the warden.
