Office-Seeking Craze.

The suicide of Adam Herold at San
Francisco,who became despondent over
his failure ”to receive the appointment
of superintendent of the mint in that
city, is another sad instance of the craze
for office which seems to possess the
American people.

Mr. Herold was atone time state
treasurer of Califorhia,and might easily
have devoted himself to some business
interests which would have proved as
remunerative and as honorable as the
office he sought. But the burning am-
bition to continue a political career so
controlled his mind as to eventually up—
set it and cause his death.

It cannot be too greatly deplored that
thewish for political prefermentin this
country takes the peculiar phase it does,
of being the one desire that must be
satisfied at all hazards.

The Boom in Business.

The business boom is slew of devel-
opment, but there are symptoms of
steadiness in it. While there are ma-
terial defects in the Wilson tariff bill
,by which certain industries are likely
to be injuriously affected, the proposed
legislation does not threaten to be uni~
versally ruinous. The prospect of its
passage is becoming so well assured
that an element of certainty has been
injected into the situation and various
branches of manufacture, weary of a
long suspense and with accumulating
orders, which are of themselves a sign
of returning prosperity, in shortly
resume operations.

Among these may be mentioned the
re-opening of the silk mill at Emaus,
Pa, with 125'hands; the resumption of
the copper extraction works at EliZa-
bethport, N. J., with about 500 em-
ployee, _ after a suspension of some
weeks; the starting Of Denny’s rolling
mill at Columbia, Pa, with 500 work-
men, aud the firing up of the Keystone
Furnace, near Glendon, Pa., which has
been idle since last fall. News also
comes from Racine, Wis, that the im-
mense factory of the J. I. Case 'Ihrash-
ing Machine company, which has been
closed for five months, will resume
February 19 with a force of 600 men,
and that the Mitchell & Lewis wagon
factory at the same place has opened
with 500 employee. Full time has also
been resumed in every department of
the Demorest sewing 'machine and bicy-
cle factory at Williamsport, Pa., and
the East Lake glass works at Bridge-
ton, N. J.. have also resumed.

All these things go to show that the
movement of trade is in the right di-
rection; that it is not retrograding;
that capital is less fearful and money
less tightly hoarded. No phenomenal
recuperation is looked for or under ex-
isting conditions possible, but the
glimses of daylight that we see are
those of a coming dawn, and the long
night is gradually approaching an end.

 

Phoenix Mutual Life.

In another column we print the an-
nual statement of the Phoenix Mutual
Life Insurance company showing im-
portant gains in the various depart-
ments during the year just passed.
The increase in total premiums re-
ceived as compared with 1892 was $101,-
357 ; as compared with the year before
that the increase was $264,612. There
was an increase of $3,132,217 in insur-
ance in force. As compared with 1891
the increase was $6,579,098. The total
amount in force Jan. 1, 1894, was
$33,681,523. The increase in the num-
ber of policies last year was 913, the,
total number issued being 4,769. In
1891 the number issued was 2,886. In

The whole numberof policies now in

are first-class. The loans on first mort-
gages, amount to $5,497,147. In muni-
cipal bonds, railroad stocks, and bonds

l0 ROTON POINT

The Tramway Holds an Important
- Meeting.

New Road to be Constructed.

An important informal meeting of
the Tramway company was held at the
company’s ofiice in South Norwalk
Tuesday evening. A delegation from
Five Mile River was present and an
enthusiastic meeting held. Mr. Mans-
field presented a map showing the pro-
posed route to Roton Point and Five
Mile River, which does not cross the
Danbury and Norwalk Railroad tracks.
The proposed layout goes under the
bridge at the foot of South Main street
and across the meadows to a point near
B. Burchard’s ice houses. The plan
submitted was approved by all, but as
it was laid through the property of
Mr. Burchard, Jacob B. Raymond and
A. B. Tuthill it was necessary to have
those gentlemen approve of the plan,
which they promptly did by agreeing
to deed' to the town of Norwalk suffi-
cient land for a new street from 60 to
’70 feet wide across their several proper-
ties.

As the opening of a new street would
necessitate a town meeting to approve
the same about twenty of the tax-pay-
ers present signed a petition to the
select-men asking that a town meeting
be called for that purpose, which will
be done.

and ran away. Mrs. Fred. Baxter and
Miss Jessie Lowndes were in the sleigh,
the former having the lines in her
hand. She is spoken of as being an
expert driver, but she lost control of
the horse and the sleigh was upset, the
riders being dumped out on the side of

He Weakens.
The frosty nights have come again,
The coldest of the year;
The single man jumps into bed,
And pulls his knees up to his ear.
By George this thing has got to cease ‘8 ‘-'
Before another year.

Thrifty newsman John Buxton, called
on the GAZETTE Tuesday and made
confession that never till now did he
realize what a forlorn, cold, frozen
and utterly disconsolate being a chronic
old bachelor could be in mid-winter.
As he has climbed, the past few nights,
the borean heights beyond the armory
to Buxton Castle on Elm Crest, the
piercing winds have cut him to the
marrow and whistled through his thin
and attenuated branches like a mad
blizzard through a tough old and
gnarled oak of the forest. Then on
seeking his lofty couch, with chills
chasing each other like race-horses
down his spine, he would step to the
windows of his cold eyrie, and. with
thumb nail, scrape the frost from the
window panes and look abroad over
the snow-clad hills of Westport, Wes-
ton, Wilton, Redding and New Canaan,
until his teeth shattered in their sock-
ets. The water view aWay across the
sound, was but a still colder waste of
snow and ice-bound waters. Then
jumping out of his day apparel and
double-quicking into his slumber robe,
he shoots into bed like a shell out of a
Columbiad, to find his virtuous sheets
damp with an intenser cold, and with
knees to his chin, tries to shiver him-
self to sleep.- But it is no use. He
thinks of what-“might have been ;”-
“with some one to love, some one to ca-
ress;” something nice and warm, to
cuddle up, to spoon-fashion, on his star-
board beam, to thaw him out; but
alas! And so the-sufferer passes his
nights of agony. He'says Elm Crest
may be a paradise in summer, but next
winter, it he outlives this, he either
weds or goes South. Now here is a
pointer for some worthy maiden of un-
recorded age and unentangled alliances,
or some more eager and courageous,
bustling widow, to get the drop on
John. In ordinary conditions, he is as
shy of a woman as a colt of a trolley
car, but as long as this cold snap con-
tinues, it will require very little matri-
monial: angling skill, on the part of
our fair dames, to capture John. And
what a model,husband, father and head
of the family he would make! Good

lmpurel Blood, That Tired Feeling,
Kidney Trouble.
“C. 1. Hood 8: Co., Lowell, Mass:

“Scrofula. sores in my neck grew worse and
worse, discharging freely and giving me much
pain. A friend recommended Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla. At that time [I was completely worn
down, did not have much appetite an easily
became tired. I commenced taking Hood’s San
saparilla faithfully and gradually _

The Sores Began to Heal,

ON THliVENUE.

Don’t use highly tinted note paper
or envelopes. White and cream laid is
always the best taste. and the only or-
namentation admissible in polite socie-
ty is the monogram. That must be
small and plain.

The newest feature of the latest im-
ported dresses is the short bOufi'ant hip
drapery. This looks like a revival of
the regular panniers. Sara Bernhardt
is responsible for this new mode, as she
has been for many others. Her favor-
ite waist is the apparently seamless and
dartless one, drawn in folds to a point
well below the waist. The pannier
fashion is sure to be exclusive, as only
a few will find it becoming. -

The question Of allowing girls so
much freedom is disturbing many
mothers, and well it may. It is said by
one of the most distinguished ladies
who has given this matter attention
that the unchaperoned girls are con-
spicuous for their ill-breeding and for
their want of courtesy—their want of
all maidenly shyness or sweet reserve—
their masculine aplomb and their in-
difference to forms. Everything once
considered essentially feminine 18
thrown to the winds, and things which
were looked on as style so bad as to in-
sure social ostracism are now the cur-
rent order of the day.

Some women, in order to obtain the
reputation of being good housekeepers
will put all other ambition out of their
lives, and from morning until night
will wrestle with first one and then an—
other task, pleading “no time” if hus-
band or children ask for a few minutes
of their society. “What would the
house look like,” they argue, “it we
were not constantly looking after it?”
It would look a good bit more home-
like, for one thing, if once in awhile
the wife and mother would be found
seated cozily before the fire with a
book or trying over some new music at
the piano, instead of being continually
attired in a sweeping cap, improvising
unnecessary tasks to keep her on the
go in order to prove to the world what
a thorough housekeeper she is.

HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.

" We carry our own stage,” is one of
the time-honored jokes of the theatri-
cal profession. The truthful advance
agent used this expression freely when
he wanted to be particularly impressiVe
regarding the magnitude Of his attrac-
tion. However, few believed this little
pleasantrv. and it has always been con-
sidered a subject for ridicule. In El-
mer E. Vance’s magnificent new pro-
duction, “Patent Applied For,” will
be used for the first time in the history
of the drama a special stage, designed
to be carried from city to city and to
be used at every performance. It is an
ingenious interlocking sectional stage
(30x34 ft.) of Mr. Vance’s invention, on
which he has secured a patent. Two
tons of counterweight are required to
balance and elevate it when in opera
tion, the whole weighing over four
tons. With this cumbersome affair, it

Eight Members of the Crew in’the
Rigging. .

 

A dispatch from Scituate, Mass, says
that eight members of the crew of the
three masted schooner Minnie Rowan,
of South Norwalk, bound for Boston,
~coal laden, are in the rigging of the
vessel, which lies stranded about one
tlligéisand feet from shore, near the third
01 .

The seas are breaking over the
schooner and drenching the men to the
skin. They are in a most dangerous
plight, and, owing to the rough seas
and high winds the life saving crew has
not been able to render any assistance
asyet.

Every effort will be made, however,
to save the lives of the men, and if
they can retain their hold they may be
rescued. The vessel will doubtless be
a total loss. .

Senator John H. Ferris, one of the
owners of the Rowan, received a tele-
gram announcing the wreck Tuesday
and started for Boston. This morning
he telephoned that it was reported at
Boston that Capt. C. C. St. John and
crew had been rescued, but as he had
not gone to the scene of the wreck he
could not verify the report. He also
stated that it was reported that Captain
St. John was severely injured.

Later—A telegram just received from
Captain S John says that the vessel is
a total lo;—s and the crew all saved.

The inventory of the estate left by
the late Gen. William H. Noble dis-
closes property to the amount of 8645.51

item is the amount fixed as the value

The inventory was filed in the Pro—

appraisers. Gen. Noble was generally
supposed to own property to a much
larger sum.

front Of James M. Creagh’s restaurant,
Tuesday night. John is in the employ
of Mr. Creagh. In cleaning off the
horse railway tracks considerable snow
was banked up in front of the restau-

the company had abused him and armed
with a shovel he commenced throwing
the snow back on the railway. tracks.
Secretary Acton, of the railway com-
pany appeared on the scene and or-
dered him to stop. John, however,
kept on shoveling snow, until finally
Ofiicer Morehouse happened along and
threatened him with arrest if he did
not clean off the snow he had thrown
on the tracks. John at first demurred
but finally freed the tracks of the snow
which he had thrown upon them.
