The Battlefield of Shiloh.

Great preparations are making for
the reunion of veterans on the old hat-
tle-fields of Shiloh this spring, and it
will be all the more notable a gather-q
ing because it will be composed of vet-
erans of both armies. The reunion
will take place April 6 and ’7, the anni-
versary days of the battle, and it will
be composed in the main of survivors
of Grant’s Army of the Tennessee,
Buell’s Army of the Ohio, and the
commands of Albert Sidney Johnston
and Beauregard, who came together in
such sanguinary conflict thirty-two
years ago. '

Shiloh is one of the fields that for
many obvious reasons should be topo-
graphically preserved in our military
annals, and on the forthcoming occa-
sion the work will be systematically in-
augurated by the Battle Aid Associa-
tion. .

The story of Shiloh is now the com-
mon property of the Nation. It was
written in blood at an early period of
the war. No pains should be spared
for its truthful commemoration and
perpetuation, with strict regard to its
historical accuracy and the positions
of the several forces engaged properly
and permanently designated as its illus-
trative object lessons.

An Argument to be Ashamed Of.
We respectfully except to the propo-
sition that either the sub-committee of
finance of the Senate, or any commit-
tee of either House, or any other po-
iitical‘institution in the United States
at' this time, is in the hands of “the
Confederate Brigadiers.” We go fur-
ther—we assert that them is no Con-
federacy, and therefore no such thing
as a Confederate Brigadier. And,
finally, says the Washington Post, we
Offer the sentiment that if gentlemen,
in or out of Congress, can find no bet-
ter material of argument than these
persistent references to conditions that
ceased to exist nearly thirty years ago,
they had better abandon the contro-
versy altogether.
Sensible peepie are much more con-
cerned as to the present purposes and
motives of public men than as to their;
environment during the early sixties
of the present century. To remind
them that this or that Senator was a
Confederate then is not one-half so
instructive as to tell us what the Sen-
ator in question is doing or trying to
do now. These Senators are not in the
Southern Confederacy tO-day, at any
rate. ’ They are in the Congress of the
United States, and they are to be
judged accordingly as they comport
themselves in that capacity. So far as
we are concerned, we do ngt hesitate
to say that in all the relations of life,
as between man and man, we prefer a
fighting record in the Confederacy to
askulking, bounty-jumping record in
. the Union, and regard the man who
did his duty as he saw it in 1863—110
matter on which side he fought—as one
who can be safely trusted in 1894. The
real question at this time-is not what a
Senator was doing thirty years ago,

. but what he proposes to do to-day.
Any attempt to shift the issue to an-
other ground is foolish, and will fail
of its purpose with all intelligent and
honest men.

We regard the Wilson bill as an un-
wise and improvident measure, but we
do not so regard it because some of
those who helped to frame and are now
laboring to pass it were at one time en-
gaged in the secessidn movement. If
that were the only thing to be said
against it, we should be ashamed to
say anything at all.

Attached. -
Some time since N elson Hubbell, the
carpent ir, erected a building on the
Weeks property at the corner of Main
street and Union avenue, which it was
intended to utilize as a store. He re-
tained a lien on the property, but last
week purchased the building, and this
morning started to move it, when he
found that an attachment had been
placed on the same to recover a claim
held by Butcher Fred Smith against the
Weeks’. Further work was stopped

pending a settlement of the claim.

Fell Twenty Feet.

Saturday afternoon, Annie, a three
year old child of Mrs, Ross: Guarnieri,
while playing on a back porch at her
home in the “long buildi ” on Water
street, lost her balance an fell into an
areaway a distance of twenty feet or
more. She was picked up and taken
into the house and Dr. W. J. Tracey
summoned, who found an ugly cut on
the child’s forehead and a few super-
ficiai bruises on her body. It required
four stitches to close the wound on the
child’s forehead. Remarkably enough
the child escaped with her life and
without broken bones.

Fined for Disorderly Conduct.

On Sunday morning Chief Bradley
saw Charles Grumman, carrying a bag,
come out of Hoyt street and go into
Phoenix Engine house. The Chief toi-

admitted to the house. He found the
bag in the back yard, and upon open-
ing it, found that it contained several
bottles of beer. The Chief interviewed
Grumman as to what the bag contained
and where he got it, but was unable to
get a satisfactory explanation from him.
He then placed Grumman under arrest
and locked him up, but he was after-
wards released’ upon an Order from
Justice Coolidge. This morning he
was tried on a charge of disorderly
conduct, to which he pleaded guilty,
and was fined $1 and costs.

Dedicated. ..

St. Mary’s new Roman Catholic
church at New Britain was dedicated
Sunday morning by Bishop Tierney.
Rev. Father O’Brien of. St. Mary’s
church, this city, preached the sermon.
His text was: “N ow this is eternal life,
that they may know Thee, the only
true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou
has sent.” He said that the new tem-
ple which was dedicated was an unmis-
takable evidence of a strong and well-
defined religious belief—a belief that
reveals itself in sacrifice. He exhorted
his hearers to let the sublime and holy
precepts of the church illuminate their
lives that they might be an example in
good works. , '

The church is‘bf Gothic style and the
stone of which it is built came from
the Portland quarries. It is 127 feet in
length and 80 feet wide. The main au-
ditorium is 100 feet long with a Width
of 80 feet and a height of 60 feet inter-
venes between the floor and the ceiling.
It is one of the finest specimens of
architecture in the city and represents
a parish of over 7,000 souls.

Frank Beers’ Fall.

Saturday evening some men em-
pioyed at Barthol’s hat shop discovered
a man in an unconscious condition on
Spring street, South Norwalk, directly
under where the Consolidated railroad
tracks cross the street. They lifted
him up and took him into a saloon
near by where he shortly after revived
enough to make his identity known.

It proved to be Francis H. Beers,
the engineer, who lives at the corner
of Cross and Main streets. A coach
was procured and Mr. Beers,~ who
seemed to be suffering much pain, was
taken to his home.

Mrs. Beers was convalescent of an
attack of pneumonia, and, Dr. Dexter
Hitchcock happened to be there when
the coach arrived with Mr. Beers. In

 

 

been summoned.

An. examination showed that Mr.
Beers had sustained severe injuries to
his left hip and leg. His injuries were
prescribed for and this noon he seemed
to be resting and free from much pain.
It is not believed that his injuries are
of a very serious nature.

Mr. Beers explains the accident as
follows. He had been engaged for
some days in “fixing up” the machin-
ery on the oyster boat “J osephine” at
Five Mile River. Saturday night he
was delayed, and failed to reach the
depot in time to take the train for
home, and concluded to walk. He had
reached a point just this side of what
is known as the Whistieville bridge
when he suddenly felt himself going
downward, and that is the last he re-
...u‘iemberedelqitii 'hegbecame conscious
iii the store‘ufiabovewentioued.

There‘is ‘aifi’opsn space between the
two tracks where he fell and in the
darkness he did not see it. The .dis-
tance to the street is about 15 feet, and
as _Mr. Beers .is about 65 years of age

_‘Don’t have many dresses, etc., at a
time. Let quality-«not quantity—be
the motto of your wardrobe.

The most fashionable shades for
blending with other colors are magneta
and plnky reds. For day wear dark
brown and green are two favorites.
Mulberry tints, prune and the redder
Violets are very fashionable.

_ The New York Ledger thinks that a
great amount of nonsensical rubbish
has been written upon the idea that hon-
csty and frankness look one squarely in
the face. As a matter of fact, brazen
impudence, or the lack of common sense
and delicacy, is quite as likely 'to meet
one’s gaze squarely as honest sincerity.

When the time arrives that you dis-
cover that you cannot see quite as well
as in days gone by do not screw the
forehead all up into a nest of fine lines
in the endeavor to see, but go straight-
way and secure glasses. Constant head-
ache and strain will produce wrinkles,
and as much of the headache in the
world is due to poor eyesight, see to it
that the artificial helpers are adepted
as soon as needed.

I came down town on Saturday to do
a little shopping, and in the course
of my travels was compelled to cross
the planking over the Danburv rail-
road tracks, near the hotel. I was
obliged to wade in mud and water
over my rubbers in order to get across
as were scores of other ladies. I don’t
think our new council have as yet real-
ized the fact that we are a city and not
a borough else they would not allow
such a dirty state of affairs to exist
an hour. The condition of that cross-
ing is not only unhealthy and beastly,
but it is a disgrace to any city, and the
sooner our city fathers remedy this
evil the quicker .they will receive the
thanks of the ladies.

Young folks must have some place
where their exuberant feelings can find
a' vent, If parlor, sitting room and
library are too fine, give up to them
one shabby room for their very own,
where they can romp‘totheir hearts
content. If there are scraps on the
floor teach them a certain time to tidy
up, but do not interfere with them
before the allotted hour. Youngsters
are not the terrors they are popularly
supposed _to be and if managed right
,will show their appreciation by acting
according to the rules laid down for
them. They,can’t be expected to act
like grown-ups. If they did we would
call them little prigs, but if they are
given certain rights and privileges
both within and without doors they
will be less likely to get into_mischief
than when too great repression only
drives them to the other exasperating
extreme.

“What shall I use on my teeth to
make them nice and white?” I asked
my dentist. - ,

“Elbow grease, was the laconic
reply. “You women,” he continued,
“think that when you run the brush
over your teeth two or three times
you’ve done your duty and are keeping
your teeth in splendid condition. You
will stand for half an hour before the
looking glass, fretting and wondering
how you can rid yourself of an almost
invisible pimple, but the tartar on
your teeth is a secondary matter,
whereas, I assure you, good, sound
teeth add more to the beauty of the
face than the smoothest complexion.
Exercise your tooth brush. Give at
least three minutes’ time to it. You
do? 0, I think not. Just time your-
self oncc—keep your watch by you—-

2’

and when your through brushing. look

at your timepiece and see whether you
really spent three minutes or even two,
on this part of your toilet. The time
seems long, but it isn’t. I always tell
the children that come to me for treat-
ment to brush their teeth for five or
ten minutes—then I know they’ll give
about three minutes to it. Yes, my
dear madam, use elbow grease on your
teeth. It’s the best dentifrice in exis-
tence. Good morning.”

Chapel of Our Holy Savior.
The first choral service was held last
evening at the Chapel of Our Holy
Savior, the edifice being crowded. The
following music was rendered.
Processional hymn,
“Christ is made the sure foundation.”

Magnificat and Nuns Dimittis. Bunnett.
Hymn. “Oh! Paradise.”
Anthem. "Send out thy'liglit,” Gounod

Recessmnal, _
“All hail the power of Jesus’ name.”

The Rev. S. B. Pond, rector of St.
Paul’s parish preached the sermon from
II Chronicles 0:2, “But I have built
the on house for thy habitation, and a
place for thy dwelling forever.” These
were the words of Solomon, when he
had completed the temple and the
preacher applied them to the new chap-
el. He said the church was the place
where authoritative teaching should be
given by those duly ordained in the
apostolic ministry. It was not a place
where men should stand up and express
their personal opinions, rejecting this
and that article of the Catholic creed,
and putting in the place of it, their
own theories as is the custom with the
sects outside of the Holy Catholic
church, which have rejected the apes-
tolic priesthood and ancient order of
the Catholic church in all ages. He
Said no opinions of his would ever be
substituted for the positive doctrines set
forth in the creeds. Upon this rock
and firm foundation Christ had built
his church and had promised that the
gates of hell should not prevail against it.

The Hat industry.

All, the hat factories in Danbury
which have been idle since the settle-
ment of the trouble there started up
work to-day. . '1here are three hat
shops which did not open up with the
other manufacturers recently, and in
consequence there has been a large
number of hatters out of employment.
.The manufacturers who, will open up
to-day have not shown any opposition
toward the men who joined in the lock-
out, and it is probable that a majOrit
of the old employee will be.taken bac
in the shops. The manufacturers re-
port business good, and they are re-
ceiving orders daily, which enables
them _to keep their shops running on
full time, and_ the manufacturers say
that business is better than they had-
expected in View of the hard times. * '

Quick Consumption and Catarrh

“G. I. Hood 8; 00., Lowell Mass.:

“Gentlemen: Hood’s Sarsaparilla is our fam-
ily medicine, because it has proved its superior
merit. The case which led us to put

Our Whole Confidence

in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and which attracted
much attention hereabouts, was the cure of our
little son, Harry, of consumption. Six years ago
while living at South Berwick, Maine, when
he was but three months old, he was seized
with an illness which developed into quick
consumption; Everything possible was done,
and the doctors, after a consultation, said
they could not save him. He was not expected
to live from clay to day. My sister had a bottle

’ of Hood’s Sarsaparilla which only contained a

few teaspbonfuls. In hopes that it might give
the boy a little strength and possibly life, we
gave him a few drops of the medicine three
times a day. When the small quantity had been

’ Hood’sssi’r Cures

used we noticed a brightened look on his face
and his sufferings seemed to ’,be, lessened.__ I

bought another bottle and with its use he. ccn- '

tlnued to improve. He has since taken the
medicine regularly, and today he is

A Bright and Healthy Boy.

Hood’s Sarsaparllla has also cured our son
Herbert, aged 11, of a severe case of catarrh.
We keep a supply of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. in our
house and look upon it as the family medicine.
We have used Hood’s Vegetable Pills. and find
them a very mild and efficient cathartic.”

Dear Sire—I sold three bottles of P.
P. P., large Size, yesterday, and one
bottle, small size, to-day. '

The P. P. P. cured my wife of rheu-
matism winter before last. It came
back on her the last winter, and a half
bottle, 31 size, relieved her again, and
she has not had a symptom since.

I sold a bottle of P. P. P. to a friend
of mine. One of his Lturkeys, a small
one, took sick, and his wife gave it a
teaspocnful, that was in the. evening,
and the little fellow turned over like
he was dead, but next morning was up

:hoilowing and well.

Yours respectfully,
J. N. McELpgx.
' _SAVANNAH, GA, Apr. 26, 1880.

- arc-*ffJAMES M71.” ‘3'":1’3'; 1‘. I .. ., J,
James Montgomery 'Biiilzy,t.he “Dans
bury News man.” died suddenly Sun-
day.morning at his home on Osborne
street, Danbury. He had beensick
about two weeks with bronchitis, and
there was nothing alarming in his con-
dition till within twenty four hours of
his death, when pneumonia developed.
His wife survives him. '

J. M. Bailey was bmn in Albany, N.
Y. September 25, 1841. He removed
to Danbury in 1860. In his youth he
had learned the carpenter trade, and
followed that vocation u ntil 1862, w hen
he enlisted in the 17th Connecticut In-
faulty. \Vliile at the. front he wrote
many graphic and hunim-ous letters to
the local newspapers-j '

Returning to Danbury after the close
of the war, he purchased the Danbury
Times, which he conducted until he
purchased the Dunbury Jeil'ersonian in
1870. These two papers he consolidated
under the name which he afterward
made so well known in all parts of the
English-speaking world, “’1 lie Danbury
News.” This was the pioneer Of hu-
morous newspapers in this country,

iclcs, generally descriptive of every-
day mishaps, which were reprinted in
other journals throughout the country.
He published several humorous books,
which were well received, and delivered
humorous lectures. In Sepcmber, 1883,
he started the Evening News-

He was a life member of the Con-
necticut Humane society, the Connect-
icut Historical society, and the Fair-
field County Historical society, auda-
member of the Connecticut Army and
Navy club, the'Knights Templar, the

the Author’s Guild, the Connecticut
State_Board of Trade and the Union
ex.Pr1s0ners of War.

pital, president of the Local Board of-
Trade and of the Relief Society, and»
was an honorary member of a dozen
other local organizations. . ,
For the past three years he had been
at work on a history of Danbury, and
had nearly completed it. This was the
only literary work that had engaged
him recently. Although Mr. Bailey was
sole owner of one of the best paying.
newspaper plants in Connecticut, he
died comparatively a poor man. ‘He
gave thousands of dollars every year to
charity, in fact all his income over his
personal expenses, which were simple.
Every tramp and vagabond in the coun-
try knew him and preyed upon his
weakness in this respect. He never
refused the most arrogant humbug.
His famous reply to a tramp is worth
recording here. A local specimen met
him one morning and asked for 10‘cts.
Mr. Bailey sternly demanded what for.
“I want to get a drink.” “Don’t you
lie to me,” replied Mr. Bailey, “ you
want to buy sandwiches.” His repar-
tee was continuous and unsuppressable.
In politics Mr. Bailey was a demo-
crat, but for the past ten years never
took any interest in party matters.
When Danbury was chartered as a City
five years ago, both parties approached
him to accept the mayoralty, but he
refused. ‘
The funeral will take place Wednes-
day afternoon; '
