" Go. Go. Poor Devil!"
The “bounced school” teacher pub-
lishes another lot of his silly drivel
anent the payment to him of $500 by
= the selectmen against the vote of .the
people. He leaves the “ seven days
service,” the exact number of nights
the school wasconducted under him,
and says'that his services “began Nov.
. 14 and were continuous until Dec. 8, in
organizing and directing the school.”
7 Even at this it would_seem that the
“bounced teacher” considered the wear
auditear Onshjsfi’giant intellect worth
$500 for less than a month’s service, or
a at the rate of 36,000 per annum for
running a night school in a town of
20,000 inhabitants; Itovill be noticed,
however, with whim-cunning he avoids
an explanation cf the payment of the
$500 to him ,by-thé selectmen after the
people had. forbidden__-tliem to do so.
This point seems ‘to_ "escape his gigantic
intellect; So‘to‘o, with his effort to
mislead the public in'believing that the
school visitors neglected their duty in
not at once opening an evening school,
when he' knows that the board had
plenty of time in which to comply with
the law and run the school 100 nights
even though they did not open until
after January 1. '
It would seem as though on the day
the evening schoolibill passed the legis-
lature a bee to become principal began
to buzz in his bonnet, and the buzzing
continued until he successfully hypno-
tized the seleotmen into appointing
him without law or authority.
His'egotistical nature was never more
fully exhibited than when he penned
he statement that “the value of his
service was not decided by Mr. Das-
kam, but by Mr. Raymond, Mr. Baker
and Mr. Daskam " Compare this state-
ment with that made by Mr. Daskam
to one of the school visitors—-“Mr. Mn.
ples demanded $500 and we paid him,”
or that of Mr. Raymond to the GAZETTE
~—“Mr.-Baker came to my desk and in
a whisper asked me to join the others
in signing the order for $500 and I did
so." If these are not enough compare
the “bounced teacher’s” own statement
to another member of the board of.
school visitors—“You fix‘me out and
the selectmen will do anything I tell
them to do.” From these statements
it would appear that the selectmen were
a unit (?) in deciding the value Of his
services.
Althoughthe ‘-fbounced teacher” says
that he prefers the enmity of the GA-
zn'r'rn rather than. anything else, which
is our own thunder on himself, we can
but repeat, "Go, go, poor devil! I will
not harm thee ; the world is wide enough
for me and thee.”
"Baby Willie" Breoklnridse.
The defence interposed by “Colonel”
Breckinridge to the . claim of Miss
Pollard detracts sadly from the military
prestige of that fierce Kentucky fighter.
One would naturally suppose that a
man who hadthe “Colonel” handle to
his name would die before he would
plead the‘ ”baby act,” but it over-
whelmingly appears that the “Colonel”
is a hide bound believer in the maxim -:
“Ali’s fair in love and war,” and rather
than die a “Colonel” he prefers to live
a "baby.” Self-preservation may jus-
tify such tactics, but we begin to sus- ‘
peel: the courage of a man who crawls
so promptly. ' Miss Pollard, it seems,
found out that the terror inspiring
word “Colonel” was more of a shadow
' than a substance, for it appears in evi-
dence that she was accustomed to accost
that can of' Mars as “Willie,” not Wil.
liam, or even "Sweet William,” but
“Willie" pure and simple.
We are afraid that the proud, mar.
tint and sanguinary title “Colonel” will
lose its terror and irridesence unless
the infamously famous Kentuckian re-
verses his ,policy, and, metaphorically
speaking, faces the music with a sword
instead of a nursing bottle. .The worst
is out, andee'adv-isb the“.COlonel" to.
be a brave .villain"*instead Of a supine,
, . one, and itfjmitiy be” possible for him yeti
- * to .be housintatnré history» “Colo-
_; .....
" ' nel’.§-Breckinridge rather than “Baby
Willie” Breckinridge. Besides, this
. incident has a national, importance as
it tends to degrade the whole fraternity
af"‘.COlonels,” and future lexicograpn.
' ere will be obliged to mine new defin-
ition of the Word “Colonel,” thus:
“Colonel,-—a man destitute of sand;
one who pleads senile degeneration.”
The Order of Real and Titulary Colo-
nrls should hold a Convocaiicii forth-
with and unless “Colonel” Breckin-
ridge squares himself with the Order
he should be bounced, or as they say in
Boston, “expelled.“
En'd of Lent;
Yesterday was the consummation of
Lent. Tomorrow ends gloom and
penance. The Sabbath brings Easter re-
joicings and the glories of the lilies. It
has been an unusually depressing Lent-
en season, owing to wide—spread busi-
ness depression. Yet healthful condi-
tions have prevailed in town and coun-
try to an unusual extent for the wintry
season. No “gaunt famine, with shriv-
eled lips” has spread the land to add
horror to deprivation. Sweet charity
has mellowed human hearts and blessed
giver and receiver abundant-1y. Lack
of work, it is now confidently believed,
will be but a temporary distress and
destitution. Already the demands of
American needs have started afresh the
fires and wheels of many a suspended
industry. -With the opening buds and
leaves and flowers of Spring the de-
pression of men’s spirits will spring
into renewed life and hope and effort.
If Congress will do its duty in the
enactment of a wise and patriotic tariff
bill, or better still, leave our present
revenue laws alone, the people will
again rejoice mightily: in restored
prosperity.

The Jail Crowded.
The county commissioners have sent
notice to the representatives from Fair-
field county of a meeting to be held at
the ‘county court house April 5, when
the advisability of erecting an addition
to the county jail will be considered.
It is proposed to convert the present
Workshop into a cell room of 42, cells
and to build a new workshop. Thishas
been rendered necessary by the crowd-
ed condition of the institute at present.
The appropriation of 85,000 voted for
the purpose has been found to be insuf-
ficient. ‘
The representatives are to lay a new
county tax, based on the lists of the
different towns as compiled Dec. .31.

Lost Her Pocket-book.
Thursday afternoon, Miss Ella Greg-
ory visited the millinery store of the
Misses St. John for the purpose of
making some purchases. She careless~
ly laid her pocketbook on the cOunter,
and when she went to pick it up it was
missing. Suspicion pointed». to two
women Who had left the store a few
moments previous. Miss Gregory sum-
moned an officer and the two women
were found seated in a carryall which
was about to start to Westport. The
officer invited the women to walk 'to
police headquarters, and Mrs. William
H. Olmstead was deputized to search
them. This was found unnecessary as
one of the women while on the way
to police quarters dropped the pocket-
book on the stairs and it was picked up
by 'Captain Dean. The women gave
their names as Mrs. Clarence Taylor
and Mrs. Dora flower of Westport. . It
was belrevedthat it was the latter who
appropriated .the pocket-book. Miss
Gregory refusedto prosecute and both
women were permitted to go‘home.
There was $7. 49 in the pocket-book.

A'junkcting party down the Potomac

est piece of ordnance ever constructed-

s1x inches. These gun monsters are
expenswe luxuries as it costs $500 for
each and every discharge. -
The wind up of the cross-examination
of Miss Pollard was concluded Wed-
nesday in a sadly pathetic recital of
woman’s devotion and man’s perfidy.
She has been a remarkably-self-pos-
sessed and capable witness throughout
and more than a match for Gen. But-
terworth, Congressman Breckinridgc’s
leading counsel, in parrying his efforts
to entrap» her into contradiction and
need her into indiscreet admissions.
For three days he pelted her merciless-
ly with a hot fusilade of questions
raitigingfrom her infancy to the pres-
en .
nating question as to her guilty rela-
tions with Breckinridge, she, in tones
of half pent up agony and half the
wfail of a woman’s dispair, said: “Yes,
I gave him my life, my virtue, my
home of heaven, and then my babes,
the supremest sacrifice a woman can
make.” She had. been nerved to the
highest pitch and tension by the attor—
ney’s cruel goading and the silence
of death reigned in the court room as
she uttered her self accusing wordi,
when she broke down in a convulsion
of moaning and crying. There were
few dry eyes in the court room. For
the first time during the trial did the
author of her ruin evince the least sen-
sibility. He turned livid and then scar-
let and dropped his face between his
hands. The big heart of her tormentor
got the mastery Cf his sharp legal t1 ain-
ing and gave up all effort to parry her
most damaging blowto his client. In
tones of kindly and almost fatherly
tenderness he said to the weeping wit-
ness, “Never mind, Miss Pollard, I am
through, you are excused.” And the
ruined, shattered victim of man’s lust
and perfidy was led fainting from the
mom. The defense as outlined by his
counsel, has put the Kentucky Con-
gressman .in‘ a more pitiable and dc-
graded light than his victim’s testi—
mony. It is the old story concocted by
Adam when driven from Eden. “It was
not me, oh Lord, but the woman.”
Southern chivalry feels humiliated by
his pusillanimoue resort to the "baby
act,” and the question is being dis-
cussed as to whether Congress will take
cognizance of his case, should the jury
convict. It is safe to say it will not.
The House Of course, is judge of the
Qualifications of its members, but it is
suggested, too many members are un-
able to cast the first stone, to encourage
the scheme of expulsion. He expects
to be re-nominated and rc-elected iu
has-good grounds to hope for success.
He Will be opposed by ‘a small body of
devout Presbyterians, of which church
he has been and is a member. He is
an unusually eloquent and exceedingly
magnetic personage. The word “hyp-
notism”has not yet appeared in the
case, but if ever that subtile power of
the strong over the weak was ever
proven, it has been in the testimony of
his ruined victim.
One of the ludicrous incidents attend-
ing this soul sickening case, is told by
the marshal. A tall, dignified, gray-
haired with applied for admission to
the crowded court room and in reply to
the officer’s question as to grounds on
which he claimed the privilege,'replied,
“ Well, I’m an elder in Gen. Breckin-
ridge’s church in Lexington, and I,
reckon I’m entitled to attend his irial.
He Was let in. .

~~Fair Week.
Commencing Monday March 26, and
'contiumng throughout the entire week
the D. M. Read company of Bridgeport
will give their friends and patrons an
exhibition of the handsomest display of
Spring goods it has ever been their
pleasure to afford. It is the annual re-
currence of the ”Fair Week” which
takes place yearly about this date.
The opening of. Spring goods is al-
ways very attractive, and the elaborate
manner in which the Read company
celebrate this event results in the bring-
ing to this busy mart crowds of ladies
who are interested in and who improve
this opportunity of witnessing the tasty
display of all the newest productions of
wear,without being importuned to buy.
Their usual custom is to give their
time and attention, during this exhibit,
to the showing of new goods and every-
to call at any time and look at and ex-
amine the goods to their hearts content,
as it serves as a sort of educator for the
public. . If there are any new ideas to
be obtained regarding materals for the
making up of a ladies wardrobe, the
proper place to get them is at Read’s as
they or f‘up to date” in those matters.
The display of fancy silks and. choice
dress goods, arranged in artistic grace
and beautiful blending of colors renders
a sight that is charming to behold. Rich
laces and bright colored ribbons, fash-
ionable‘ gloves, fancy handkerchiefs,
dainty muslin underwear, latest im~
proved styles of corsets,and a bewilder-
ing display of chOIOest dress trimmings,
all in proper position and condition to
make a'display worth traveling miles to
see.
.The cloak department contains J ack-
cts and capes of the very latest designs
and for beauty and taste cannot be ex.
celled, and are truly productions of art.
A‘garment bought at Read’s bears the
stamp of excellence.
No store in western Connecticut de-
votes as much space or show as large
an assortment of carpets and matting
through their new Spring stock is' a
treat. Their facilities for turning out
work are near perfection as-possiblc
and they take pleasure in submitting
estimates for house-furnishing.

" C. I. Hood 6: COX, Lowell, Mass.:
“ My little granddaughter, Gracie E. Nash of
Boston, while visiting at our house met with an
acMent which nearly killed her. She fell from
the hay mow to the barn floor almost 18 feet
: below and was rendered unconscious. Her
' mothertook her to the Boston City Hospital.
,The side of the head was badly crushed. Blood
' poisoning set in and the child did not'rally. She
could not eat anything; her stomach was so
rebellious that she threw of! all nourishment.
Her mother sent for me and when I went to the
girl, her spinal cord _ and the cords of her neck
’ sa.‘
Hood Starr ores
were all drawn up and a copper color had set-
tled over her. I could quickly see the traces of
blood poisoning, and persuaded her mother to
let me take the girl back to our country home.
She consented and as soon as I reached home
I commenced to give the child Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla. It quickly overcame lier sickness and the
stiffness left her neck. The good effects were
also noticeable about the wound on her head.
In less than a. month she was able to
Run About the Farm, '
and in a short time afterwards she had com-
pletely recovered her full strength and health.
and it is all due to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. She
has since resided with us at the farm, “dill;
