Chicago Horrors!
A horrible story comes from Chicago
giving the sickening details of a bun-
gling execution enacted there last Fri-
day and another far more sadly path-
etic of a starving woman who was fatal-
ly crushed while in a multitude of
unfortunate men and women who were
applying for a little temporary relief.
In company with her husband—neither
of them_ha_ving tasted food for more
than’fdrtyQGight hours—this victim of
a mob’s hunger was in the county char-
ity agent’s office awaiting the bestowal
of a few necessaries. Others were
there as empty as she and less patient.
Unable to control themselves—many
being rendered desperate by starvation
—-most of the waiting ones engaged in
a struggle for the best positions in line,
and while the fight was in progress the
weak woman, who hungers no more,
was so severely injured that within a
few hours she died. It is an awful con-
dition which exists when a physically
weak woman, who never asked assist-
ance in all her days before, is crushed
to lifelesness by fellow-beings whose
frenzy for bread is almost murderous.
Destitution so pitable is not known to
exist hereabouts, but there have been,
.and doubtless are, many individual in-
stances of local want only less distress—
ing. Opportunity is afforded every
Norwalker who can give—no matter
how small the contribution—to do
something toward'the amelioration of
distress the like of which was never be-
fore known in this community.
A't the Capital.
A correspondent of the Washington
Post calls attention to the significant
fact that Samuel J. Tilden deemed an
income tax unconstitutional and rufused
to make any return and regularly paid
the penalty assessed upon him, because
of his adherence to his legal view un-
der protest rather than admit the con-
stitutionality of such a law. Stranger
still, every democrat, then agreed with
their great leader and the question nat-
urally arises,has the constitution or the
democracy changed?
Mr.Cullom, of Illinois, last Thursday
presented in the Senate a most graphic
protest against the passage of the Wil-
son bill that has made its appearance in
either House this session. It is signed
by eighty-two citizens of Streeter, 111.,
and was thus: “We cannot feed, clothe
and educate our families and compete
against the poorer paid labor of Europe.
We are proud and don’t want to be hu-
miliated by asking for charity. How
would any of you like to go to a soup
house and sit down to free soup ? We
have pride as well as you. We ask you
to defeat the Wilson bill, and we will
take care. of ourselves.” '
Last Thursday the GAZETTE gave the
views of Congressman Sibley, a pro-
tection democrat of Pennsylvania, who
kickedjover the traces on the Wilson
tariff reform bill. He has found it im-
possible to go with his party in the
House on this issue and so has resigned
his seat.
The recent extra session was his first
term in Congress. He soon made it ap-
parent that he was one of President
Cleveland’s team of refractory horses,
as the cartoonists called‘the House at
that time. He refeused to follow the
financial pace with the President set,
balked, and got outside of the traces
on the silver bill. When the tariff bill
came up he became skittish again, shied
and refused to pull with Chairman Wil-
son’s team, as heretofore related in the
GAZEITE. Finally, he broke clear
away, hamestrings, traces, single-tree
and all, and has galloped off home to
browse in pastures new and green.
Mr. Sibley sent his resignation to the
governor Thursday night. To those
who inquired his reason for this action
he explained that he is tired of the
situation. He is asked by some of his
constituents to do that which would
violate his own sense of right, in voting
for the Wilson bill, and rather than
have any further discussion about“ “1.9.
matter,hl§’deteifmined‘ to leave Congress
and turn“ overuse-someone else the"
difficult task of reconciling a vote for
the Wilson bill with the interests of a
Pennsylvania constituency. Mr. zSibley

.Their Second Visit.
Thieves broke into the barn at the
Town House, Saturday, and stole a
ham, a couple of cheeks and a large
pan of sausage, the latter intended for
the Children’s Home. An unsuccessful
attempt was made to break into an
adjoining room, wherein was stored a
larger amount of meats. The robbers
gained an entrance to the barn by
breaking off a padlock. It is only
about two weeks since they gained an
entrance to the barn and stole four
hams and two shoulders, and but ‘31
week since they visited the Children’s
Home and “appropriated” a dozen
chickens. There is a suspicion as to
who the guilty parties are and they are
liable to come to grief.

Lost Her Hand But Saved Her Life.
Mrs. Edward Myers, of Athens, N.

usual way for erysipelas, without bene~

putrified flesh, the blood so poisoned
that her life was despaired of. At this
critical time Mrs. Myers sought the ad-
vice of Dr. David Kennedy, discoverer
of Favorite Remedy. Dr. Kennedy
found it impossible to save the hand, so
he amputated the same, then gave her
Favorite Remedy, which drove the
poisonous disease out of her system,
cleansed the blood thus saving her life.
Had Favorite Remedy been used
earlier in the development of erysipe-
las, Mrs. Myers would have saved her
hand. The worst cases of eczema, salt
rheum and scrofula yield to Favorite
Remedy. It is endorsed by the medi-
cal profession. » ,

The , Secretary. Talks About
the Bond Issue.
Says Recent Newspaper- Articles Are
Bfisleadiug and Erroneous —— No
Reason “’hy‘ Anyone Should Hesi-
tate to Invest in the Securities
-——Law of 1875 Quoted.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.——Secretary Carlisle,
who is in this city, made the following
statement‘last nightz‘.
“lilies been erroneously published in
some newspapers that the committee on
judiciary of the house of representatives
had agreed to and report-ed a resolution
denying the authority of the secretary of
the treasury to issue and sell bonds, as
proposed in his recent circular, and these
publications have evidently made an un-
favorable impression upon' the minds of
some who contemplate making bids for
these securities. 'l‘hegonly resolution in
relation to this subject that has been be-
fore ihe committee is as follows:
“ ‘Resolved, That it is the sense of the
house of representatives that the secretary
of the treasury has no authority under
existing law to issue and sell the bonds of
the United States except such as is con-
ferred upon him by the act approved J an.
ll, 1875, entitled “An act to provide for
the resumption of specific payments,” and
that the money derived from the sale of
bonds issued under that act cannot be
lawfully applied to any purposes except
those specified therein.’
“It will be seen that this resolution as-
sumes that the authority to issue bonds
was conferred upon. the secretary of the
treasury by the act of Jan. 14, 1875, and
that such authority still exists, but it‘as—
serts that the proceeds of the bonds can-
not be lawfully used except for the pur-
poses of resumption.
‘.‘The official stenographic repOrt of the
proceedings in the committee, when the
secretary of the treasury appeared before
it last Thursday, shows that his authority
to issue bonds was not questioned by any
member, the only question being whether
he could use the proceeds for any other
purpose than the redemption of United
States notes. Mr. Bailey, the author of
the resolution, distinctly admitted the
existence of the authority. Addressing
the secretary Mr. Bailey said: The reso—
lufion does not impeach your right to
issue bonds. It expressly recognizes it,
but questions your right to apply the
proceeds to any purposes except those
specified in the act.’
“The judiciary committee of the house
examined and reported upon the same
question during the fifty—second congress,
and it then conceded that the authority
existed under the act of 1875. The ques-
tion as to the authority of the secretary
of the treasury to use the money in any
particular manner or for any particular
purpose is wholly distinct from the ques-
tion as to his authortity to issue and sell
the bonds. No matter what he may do'
will not be affected and there is therefore
no reason why any one should hesitate to
invest in these securities on the ground
that the proceeds might possibly be used
for other than redemption purposes.”

provided with titles yet, but it would

newly formed political association,
which print their patrons’ profiles on

tion ‘of the membership in more or less
exalted official station. Down here,
without being a city at? all, we. are So

way of official title among the members

Suspend the Wilson Bill.
EDITOR GAzETTE:_——I clip the follow-
ing from the Associated Press Reports
of Congressronal action on Saturday:
“Then Mr.Wilson (Dem, West Va.) offered
amendments fixmgthe time at which the
wool schedule shall go into effect as August 2.
1894, and the woollen goods schedule as De-
cember 2. 1894. The point of _order was made
against them that the committee had already
voted on Similar propositionabut the point
was overruled by the chairman and the
amendments were agreed to—all the Republi-
cans unitiug with more than half the Demo-
crats, so that the vote was 122 yeas (Republi-
cans and Democrats), and 57 nays (all Demo—
crats).” '
As the. Senate will probably be no
more radical than the House, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that by this exten-
sion of time, the present tariff on for-
eign made woollen cloths and clothing
W111, even _in the_ event of the passage
of the Wilson bill, continue. ’til De-
cember 2nd, and as the clothing to be
worn next Winter must be manufac-
tured andmade up long before Decem-
ber 2nd, it Will give our woollen mills
one more season or rather a part of an-
other season. , .
_ The reasonable certainty of heaVily
increased importations under the pro-
posed rates of the Wilson bill, and the
dullness of trade, due to the uncertain-
ties of the future, have _all ready ma-
terially reduced the prices of woollen
cloths and though the mills of Connec-
ticut Will poss1bly_run under the old
law for another 81X months, it must
needs be at a “poor, dying’jrate.
There are two pomts I Wish to draw
from the above clipping:
1st. If the suspensron of the woollen
schedule of the Wilson bill for this
year is advantageous and necessary,
why do not those same Democrats con-
tinue to vote with the Republicans and
suspend the wholcbill permanently?
2nd. It is becoming tolerably plain
to the men who vote in this country,
that they do have a personal interest in
politics, and it may be that the hard
work of campaign committees in get-
ting voters to the polls, in future elec-
tions, will be greatly lessened.

The Situation in Danbury.
All of the eighteen hat factories in-
volved in labor difficulties in Danbury,
says a dispatch from that city, for the
past nine weeks- will be running
Monday. Twelve of them opened Thurs-
day as independent shops and the other
six will start up some time this week as
union shops. The latter have been de-
laying their opening waiting for the
girls of the trimmers’ union to take ac-
tion granting them certain cpncesssions
which the other three unions had al-
ready made. The concessions were
granted Friday night after four meet-
ings had been held and the union had
nearly been broken up. The six man-
ufacturies had to secure the consent of
their association after obtaining the
concessions of the union and at a meet-
ing of the Manufacturers’ Association
they were released from their bonds of
$4,000 and given permission to open
their shops to the unions. There are
certain conditions under which the
manufacturers were released that are
not known, but enough has been learn-
ed to make it certain that the move is
only a temporary one, and that they
may discharge their help again inside
of a month. -
The batters have not returned to
work in the shops that have opened in-
dependently as speedily as was at first
thought, and it is asserted that these
six shops will be opened to the unions
to give employment to a part of the
locked out people who are only too
ready to get to work in union shops so
that those who still stay out will get-
uneasy seeing a part of their number
working and return themselves to inde-
pendendent shops. These six maniac-
turers are still members of the Mann-
facturers’ Association and their inter-
ests are all the same.
_ It is reported that the hatters’ union
in Norwalk and other places have noti-
fied the local union that cards held by
the Dan bury union batters will not be
accepted in those places as they have
conceded all their rights and should not
be recognized as union hatters. The
batters claim that less than 100 of the
400 locked out people have returned to
work in the independent shops. It is
probable that the number that have
gone back will not exceed 200. The
manufacturers are very reticent.
O
No'Cars Run Sunday. '
For the first time in eight days it was
quiet about Bridgeport Sunday, so far
as the running ‘of horse cars was con-
cerned, not a car being run. Owing to
the disuse of the tracks they were
buried in snow, and it is said that no
signs of life were apparent at the Trac-
tion Co.’soffice. The cars started this
morning. The eighteen men who ran
the cars Saturday had a hard time of it.
The police were taken off in the after-
noon and the new men became targets
for snow-balls. The tracks were ob-
structed by huge piles of snow and at
some places cars were thrown from the
track by articles concealed beneath the
snow. Before 6 o’clock all of the nine
cars were returned to the barns.
Scarcely a fare was collected and hard-
ly an unbroken window remains in the
cars. It is said that the men .who ran
the nine cars Saturday have decided to
give up their places on account of the
threatening manner in which they were
treated. A movement isbeing agitated
for a mass meeting—pf citizens to take
some action on the situation. -

plunge through the aperture and you
Will-have to wait for a break in the pro.-
cessron or calmly let go and trust to
fate that you do not hang some one in
the face by so doing.
Have you ever seen the woman who
never, under any Circumstances, walks
1 to the right? Her failure to do so pro-
duces some very sad mishaps, and when
she meets a person going as he or she
should a catastrophe is imminent. In-
stead of rectifying the mistake, she
bobs about in an uncertain fashion for
a few minutes, and then either bumps
into the poor inoffensive person or
laughs hysterically, and then the other
feels silly and embarrassed, and the on-
lookers regard it all as a huge joke.
A philosopher says: “There are three
things which a good woman ought to
resemble in one particular, but not in
another. Thus, she ought to be like
the snail, which always keeps in the
house, but she should not copy its ex-
ample in putting all that she possessed
on her back. She should resemble the
echo, which never speaks unless spoken
to, but she ought not, like the echo, al-
ways try to have the last word. Lastly,
she ought to be true and correct as the.
town clock, but she ought not, like the
clock, make noise enough to be heard
all over the town.”
Take a bath before dinner ; it will be
appetizing,~ refreshing and refining.
Dress for dinner; it is a good example
for the little folks and a compliment
that is due the hostess. These are
among the amenities that distinguish
dinner from feeding. Some husbands
and brothers will not dress for dinner
and it is dangerous to try and coerce
them. Women make the rules and
regulations of social life, and while it
is not advisable to make the lords do
what they don’t Wish to do it is very
easy to make them uncomfortable. Re-
form Will come of itself. Teach the
children to dress for dinner. Watch
the special sales and buy Charles apair
of 59-cent patent leathers and a $2.77
canton suit, with an extra pair of trous-
ers. Sacrifice the trains of a‘pompa-
dour silk and make Catherine and J o-
sephine slips without sleeves. For a
dime a week those blessed children will
tub and make a dinner toilet with speed
and grace. Some evening daughter will
startle hernnconventional sire by ex-
claiming: “Oh papalyou don’t look
nice 1 ” That will be the Wife’s hour of
triumph, and the next night papa will
put on a fresh collar and another coat.
In a week or so he will be tamer.
