-If it be true, as is now stated in cur-
rent chronicle, that Gov. Waite, of
Colorado, owes most of his bloodthirsty
reputatiOn to Mrs. Governor Waite,
then we‘must consider the proposition
that the wild and, woolly West is cal-
culated to develop feminine ability. '

We have already had the spectacle
of Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Kansas,
charging about the country and mak-
ing things in general resound, while
Mr. Mary E. Lease is meekly doing
chores in a country post-office, and,
during the intervals of his official work ,
changing diapers on the little Leases.
As an isolated incident, says the Wash-
ington Post, that might or might not
have meant anything, the Lease inci-
dent has heretofore been open to analy-
sis; but now, in the'light of the Waite
incident, the thoughtful observer is
moved to ask himself whether there
may not be something in the Western
atmosphere which fetches out the
tougher fiber of the woman and sup-
presses, if it does not actually enfeeble,
the original supremacy of the man.

Of course, there is no way of ascer-
taining the exact amount of ruth in
the now notorious proposition that
Mrs. not Mr. Waite, is resp onsible for
the truculcnt and martial tone which
has recently distinguished the Gover-
nor of Colorado from the common
herd of Governors. But the statement
has been, circulated. under every cir-
cumstance of deliberation and assur-
ance, and ‘in the light of the Lease
episode it becomes worthy of our
notice. "

Let us therefore ponder it. Let us
weigh the indications in the case. And
let us decide, for purposes of future
legislation, whether or not the far West
is to be delivered over to the women,
and the men he trundled to the jejune
and exhausted East.

Horse Railroad Meeting.

At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Norwalk Horse Railroad company
held . Monday afternoon, 1750' shares
were represented. The agreement pre-
sented at the South ’Norwalk council
meeting in the evening was passed, and
the satne was read and presented to the
council by Presidentflill. As the di-
rectors of the company are - authorized
to make all necessary agreements with
the city of South Norwalk it is probable
that the amended agreement will be
signed and work commenced as soon af-

ter the council meeting on Friday
night as possible.

At the meeting of the stockholder
of the Union Manufacturin company,

the property and estate of the company
to a trustee for the benefit of all of its
creditors. Mr. Alexander Semple being
agreeable to all parties present, he was
recommended as such trustee. The
deeds of the. ropertywill probably be
drawn up to- ay by Attorney Hurlbutt.

Company and the South Nor-
walk Council Reaching an
Agreement.

l

.The Matter :Will Probably be Aci-
Justed on Friday Night and

Work Commenced.

At the meeting of "the committee ap-
pointed by the South Norwalk City
Council, to consider and report upon
the application of the Norwalk Horse
Railroad company to double track their
road and equip the same with electrici-
ty within the city limits, held at the
Council rooms Monday night, Presi-
dent E. J. Hill, of the Horse Railroad
company, appeared and submitted an
application and agreement as passed
by the stockholders of the Railroad
company at their meeting Monday af-
ternoon. The application called for
the double tracking of the road from
the city line to a point opposite the
Congregational church and a single
track from there to the depot of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad. The description of the rails
and bonding of the same and the over-
head trolley wire, together with poles
etc., was the same as previously printed
in the GAZETTE.

The agreement submitted by the
Railroad company provides that in case
their plans are approved, substantially
as submitted, the company holds Itself
responsible for and will make good to
the city all damage of every kind sus-
tained by reason of the electric cur-
rent used as motive power, by way of
damages to the water pipes of the city,
lying or being in the highway, or else-
where, iip to the value of the pipes so
damaged together with the cost of're-
laying the same and replacing the high-
way in as good condition as before,
provided that in the installation of new
pipes, or in changing old ones, the
pipes shall not be left needlessly ex-
posed to damage from electric currents;
also that the city shall allow the Rail-
road company, at its own expense, un-
der the direction of the city’s Water
Commissioners, to make such changes
or application, in or to said wat er pipes
as may not injure the water service,
and as may be shown to be desirable,
from time to time by the best electrical
experience.

The committee adopted the layout,
rails, poles etc., but the agreement was
modified by striking out that part that
limited the responsibility of the com-
panyonly “up to the value of the pipes
so damaged, together with the cost of
relaying the same.”A clause was insert-
ed requiring the company to lay a gran-
ite block on the out-side and inside _Of
each rail, to pave between the inside
blocks and between the tracks with cob-
ble stones. The blocks on the outside to
be laid traverse with the rails and those
inside parallel. Another clause was in-
serted prohibiting the opening up at
one time of more than 500 feet of the
street between the city line and the
Congregational church and 250 between
the church and the Consolidated rail-
road depot.

The Tramway agreement was made
the same as the Horse Railroad with
the exception that the granite block
outside and inside the rail was omitted
and cobble stone paving only between
the tracks and two feet out-side re-
quired. .

If the Horse Railroad company ac-
cepts the amended agreement as pre-
sented by the committee it will be pre~
sented to the councd Friday night and
adopted, when work can at once com-
mence.

The stockholders of the Tramway
company will 'hold a meeting on Thurs-
day afternoon and in all probability the
agreement will be signed and work on
the extension of their tracks to Roton
Point commenced at once.

Hovr’s OPERA HOUSE.

At Hoyt’s Opera House to-night will
be presented the comic opera of “Robin
Hood.” Anybody who knows anything
of musical or amusement affairs knows
that “Robin Hood” is the greatest
comic opera success of recent times.
It has every element of popularity—
abundant comedy, picturesque scenes,
attractive costuming, and the most
tuneful music ever put into opera com-
ique in America. Its songs are sung in
every town of the Union, both in pri-
vate and public and now, after three
seasons of unexampled popularity it is
still growing in public favor. Were it
not absolutely controlled by Barnabee,
Karl and MacDonald, so that no other

doubt it would be played by scores of
companies all over the country as were
“The Mikado” and “Pinafore” when
they were new and free to any pro-
ducer. But “Robin Hood” is only to
be seen-by the Barnabee, Karl and
MacDonald forces and its presentation
here is, therefore an event. '

uorr’s OPERA HOUSE.

Jennie Yeamans, who is to appear at
Hoyt’s Opera House, Monday evening,
March 20th, in “Jane,” is acknowl-
edged by the dramatic profession gen-
erally to be the best American come-
dienne—an actress whoso versatility is
something remarkable, considering her
great excellence in each line. Pathos
is a particularly strong feature of Miss
Yeamans’ ability, and she will give
an example of it in thecurtain-raiser
which preceeds the performance of
“Jane.” -

Carried to the Hospital in the New

Ambulance.

As the “Gilt Edge” express which
leaves New York at 5 o’clock was hear-
ing the Whistleville bridge below the
South'iNorwalk station Monday even~
ing, a Polish Jew was seen by Mrs. L.
R. Bouton, of Ely avenue, to either fall
or jump off. The man struck the ground
with terrible force and rolled over sev-
eral times. He was unable to rise and
help was summoned and he was carried
into Mr. Bouton’s house. Later in the
evening the new ambulance“, driven by
HG my Jennings, went to the house and
carried the injured man to the Norwalk

it was impossible to learn his name.
An examination showed that no bones
were broken but that he had sustained
a bad wrench of one knee. He is re-
ported to be quite comfortable to-day.
His escape from death was miraculous
as the train was running at the :rate' of
fifty miles an hour when he fell or
jumped. The appearance of the hand-
some new ambulance and the ringing
of the gong created considerable ex-
citement on the street, many mistaking
it for the supply wagon of the fire de-
partment. 0n the way to Ely avenue
the ringing of the gong brought the
residents of the different streets to the
doors and windows expecting to see a
conflagration, but when it was learned
that it was the new ambulance going
for an injured man expressions of com-
mendation for the‘service were heard
on all sides. ,

seized a quantity of liquors, including
about fifty gallons of wine and thirty
bottles of lager beer. Amati keeps a

tried in the City court at the same time

the bill for the admission of'that territory
to statehood under suspension of the rules,
but it being apparent that the Democrats
did not have a- quorum present he decided
not to make the effort.

\Vithout transacting any routine busi-
ness the house went into committee of the
whole, and the consideration of the sun-
dry clvil was resumed.

.The paragraph appropriating $750,000 to
be 'e'Xpended under the direction of the

Phantasmagoria.

 

BY M. M.

My brother attended church on Sun-
day last ; he speaks of the sermon as a

 

this is preferred. The innocent

timely one. He gave me his positive
assurance that it lasted one hour and
forty-five minutes. -- He told no lie ! I
was there too. ' ,

Now that Fred Gebbard has set the

present of a silver bath tub, I shall ex-
pect to see some impecunious but ard-
ent lover, who can’t afford a silver bath
tub, making his fiancee a present of a
cake of soap. -
My brother aroused me from a slum-
ber Sunday or rather early Monday
morning-and said “Dear sister Mar-
guerite, my girl is as fair as the day,
as stately as the night, and beautiful
beyond any dream.” We had canned
lobster and ice cream for dinner from
both of which dishes my brother ate
heartily.

Somebody who has taken the trouble
to compute the hours lost in unneces-
sary sleep finds that those people who
rise at 6 o’clock in the morning have
the same as if ten years of life were
added, over those who arise late, dur-
in a-time of forty years. This con-
si oration, however, will not in the
least affect my brothers. ~

I made an oat cake for Pa one day
last week. He remarked as he ate it
“My dear, an _oat Is a_simplo thing. A
notary public is sometimes a gentleman;
a bank note Is handy to have in the
family; but a note With your endorse-
ment and the other fellow unable to
pay is a—bad thing.” My Pa, I love
himgbut I do hate to hear him swear.

And aze and "my’d" and "oh’d" and “ah'd”

Ti she was proud as proud could be.

The day was mild the sun shone bright.

So. yielding to the neighbors’ talk,

She thought to put the garment on

And go out for a little walk.

The stunning gown was donned. and then

She cried for half a day or more—

The sleeves, alas, were made so wide

She couldn’t get them through the door.

At the supper table last night_I told
my fatherthat I had a friend quite sick
with the tickdoulveux. “Marguerite,”
said he in answer, “When you were
a babe I was in business, and if it had
not been for the tick dollar or two that
I had on my books, you would have
been wearing diamonds Instead of
.writing for the newspapers.” I wonder
who ever told him that I wrote for the
press. a

Have you never heard of booze bon-

the times. They constitute the regular
Lenten diet of some fashionable dames,
who can consume a couple of pounds a
day without any trouble. Any flavors
are to be had in boozes. Maraschinc, ‘
curacoa, creme de menthe, anisette,
chartreuse, etc., and even cognac, if

do is to multiply them to get a wine-
