_ .A'Rescue Club. .
There have been indications for some
days that the electors of Mr. Backin-
ridge’s district was getting ready to
form'themselves into a rescue club to
' counteract the influence of the Boston
organization. The cheering telegram
sent from Owen County to the Stricken
Dove of the Blue Grass'region fully
confirms this. The telegram, which
» was prepaid, urged the Colonel to con-
tinue his fight with the wicked woman
who has Spread her snares about him,
and promised him moral support. More
than this, itappealed to him to return
.to 'Kentu'cky at? the earliest possible
moment and give his sorrowing and
sympathizing friends an opportunity to
return him to Congress. Such a guar-
antee of good faith, says the New York
Advertiser, should be a" source .of great
» - comfort and‘a poultice of perpetual joy
to the distinguished defendant in this
his hour of trial.
Dust Raising Skirts Tabooed.
The local manager of the main Chi-
cago telephone exchange has issued an
order requiring the girls employed in
the main office to wear their skirts so
that they will clear the floor by three
inches. ‘ ,
There were many impromptu indig-
nation meetings held in the cloak room,
but no protests were offered to the
order. ' '
Manager Tetu explained that the pur-
pose of the order is to prevent the rais-
ing of dust in the office, which settles
‘ upon and impaires the working of the
instruments. .
“The girls Walk briskly about,” he
added, “their skirts sweeping along
the floor and stirring up the dust. This
lodges in the instruments and causes
trouble.” _ .
We sympathize with our modest and
1.3??? bashful‘Norwalk superintendent
should he be obliged to enforce a- sim-
ilar rule.

‘ Take Warning.
The. experience ’of William T. Zell,
the embezzler, is an object lesson for
young men. He began his career in’
the office of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
Coal company as messenger boy. This
was twenty years ago. Whenhe left
the office a'few days ago he was secre-
tary and treasurer of the oompany,and
for his services as such he was paid
$4,000 salary. He embezzled upwards
of 890,000 of the millions of money
thatpassed through his hands. This
he spent in debauchery and then de-
livered himself up to the New York
police. Now he will go to prison for
perhaps twenty years.
Here we have twenty years of honor-
able service as preparation for twenty
years servitude in states prison, and all
because of following the races and
yielding to the blandishments of a
young woman he met in the betting
rings of the race tracks. _
The truth remains. that theexperi-
once of Zell is like unto that of many
another young man. The stolen money,
he says, was all taken within the past
two years, and it has gone to swell the
purses of the gamblers of Guttenbcrg
and other New Jersey tracks. -__-,
Was a Tammany Leader.
Vincenzo de Vito, an Italian, charged
with procuring naturalization papers
by fraud and perjury and selling them
for‘815, was held at Brooklyn in $5,000
bail for examination Thursday. The
wholesale naturalization that takes
place in New York just before every
registration has seemed suspicious to a
good: many people. Applicants pree
'sented themselves in such large num.
bers that perjury could have been com-
mitted without detection, and prob-
ably has been .But that a regular bus-
iness was made of the sale of the fraud-
ulent papers was hardly believed until
the facts in de Vito’s case were pre-
sented. Now it is charged that in this
icriminal- enterprise he had several
rivals, and'ohe of them, a banker in
Canal street, New York, is kdeping out
of the reach of the Brooklyn detec-
tives.
De Vito, who was caught, is engaged
in a peculiar business combination of
banking, politics and selling liquor.
The principal business of his bank is
in issuing exchange for his Italo-Amer-
icanfriends. In politics he is a sup-
posed leader of the Italians for Tam—
many Hall, and in that position he has
been very useful to the Wigwam in pil-
. ing up majorities in the lower wards ofg;

WASHINGTON.
The democrats cf the, House were
thrown into unexpected surprise and
{consternation by the apgoxntment of
Speaker Crisp by the Governor of
southern and western members wens
already very bitter agamst the Presi-
dent for his veto and this new perplex-
ity led many of them to think that
Providence was working “agm” them,
but Mr. Crisp’s letter to- Governor
Northen, made known last mght, de-
ciining the appointment allows them to
breathe easy once more.
Much surprise is expressed in diplo-
matic circles that President Cleveland
failed to take cognizance of the death
of Kossuth, the Hungarian apostle of
liberty. Both houses of Congress
adopted resolutions of respect to his
memory, but the executive branch of
the government has omitted the mes-
sage of condolence usual in such cases.
There is an excuse for President Cleve-
land’s non action. He‘has been a ter-
rible sufferer for days past from rheu-
matic gout on the one hand and driven
to the verge of distraction by his super-
servicable friends in Congress, over
the seigniorage bill. who have alter-
nately coaxed, cajoled and criticised
and abused him. No such excuse can
be extended to his Secretary of State
for the regretablc omission 0 an usual
mortuary courtesy.
The Washington Star pays the follow-
ing well deserved tribute to Mrs. Lock.
wood, whose sudden death has already
been announced in the GAZETTE: “Mrs.
Horace H. Lockwood, sister of Gen.
H. V. Boynton, the correspondent, and
Charles A. Boynton, agent of the Asso-
ciated Press in this city, fell dead yes-
terday afternoon as she was entering
the house of her friend, Miss Smith,
1139 9th street. The deceased had been
suffering" for some time from rheuma-
tism, and it is supposed that her sud-
den and unexpected death was due to
rheumatism of the heart. The news of
this sad event'will come to a circle of
friends and acquaintances of this est1-
mable woman with the shock of a great
personal loss. She was_ a woman of
lovely character and d1spos1t10n, an
earnest worker in the church and char-
itable to the poor. She was one of the
active members of the parish of the
Incarnation, and when the summons of
death came to her so suddenly she was
on her way to attend a meeting of One
of the societies of the church. Her
death is sincerely mourned by many,
who found in her a kindly friend, a
sympathetic adviser and one whose
Christian character and faith was beau-
tifully demonstrated in her daily life.
The deceased was the daughter of the
late Rev. Charles ‘B. Boynton, who
preached many years in Cincinnati and
in this city. She leaves a husband, son
and daughter. The funeral ser’v1ces
will be held at the Church of the In-
carnation this Saturday morning at 11
o’clock and the interment private.
Col. Ingersoll is to lecture" here Sun-
day evening. His subject, “What shall
we do to be saved.” He always fills
the largest hall in the city at a dollar a
head and thus proves that'eloquence
and brains pay, even though handicap-
ped by what the orthodox call heresy.
Miss Kate Field gave another of her
bright and fascinating lectures last
evening. Her subject was “America
for Americans.” One of her bright
periods was: “ ‘What can we do?’ I
hear many women ask. »Nothing or
everything. All depends on yourselves,
my dear sisters. Be you republicans,
democrats or independents, you‘can',
my sisters, be of incalculable benefit
to your country, if you ones get into
your heads that you disburse the money
of the family and that the fate of the
nation hangs ‘on how you spend what
your male kind earn. Reform your
ways of dress. Prove your patriotism
during the industrial panic by buying
and wearing American goods instead of
European importations. Follow this
more toward restoring confidence
among our manufacturers than 'all the
lobbies and prayers and petitions
against the new tariff bill that ever
Were dreamed of.”
Patent Commissioner Seymour re-
turned here from Norwalk accompanied
by his niece, Miss Clara Betts of the
Church Green, and who is now a guest
at the fashionable Elsmere.

ing reward of $25 for the arrest and con-
viction of bicycle thieves stealing from
members of the league. Two reWards
were ordered paid for two thieves con-
victed. -
‘ It was decided to hold the state meet
in June at Pleasure beach, McMahon &
Wren having assured the league that a
suitable track would be placed on the

A'Satisfactery Adjustment Made
oltne Difficulty Between Mu,
Burcharcl - and the
Tramway.
Electric Cars Will Soon he Running
to the Brighton of the East.
The disagreement between Mr. B.
Barchard, the owner of the property at
Wilson Point, and the Norwalk Tram-
way company has-at last been settled
and the tracks will at once be extended
from the end of the company’s line on
Woodward. avenue, South Norwalk,
through Meadow street to Roton Point.
A meeting was held last evening at
the. office of John H. Light between
Mr. Burchard, the Tramway company,
the Boton PointIm‘provement company
and severalinterestedparties near Bell
Island whose property will be im-
proved by the extension of the Tram-
way’s line to Helen Point. Mr. Bur-
chard' stated his proposition and the
company, together with the Boton
Point company and the property own-
ers, submitted theirs and an agreement
was finally entered into. A carriage
was then secured and the party driven
to Mr. Burchard’s residence at Wilson
Point where the easement through the
Burchard property was signed by Mr.
and Mrs. Burchard, thus removing
what appeared to be a serious difficulty
in the extension of the road to Rotou
Point this summer.
Under the agreement Mr. Burchard
will open a road seventy feet wide
through his property and the Tramway
company will lay their tracks over this
road, avoiding the dangerous crossings
over the tracks of the Danhury & Nor-
walk R. R.
Local contractors are now at work
estimating the cost of opening this
road, and as soon as the bids are in, the
contract will be given out and work
commenced.
The new road when opened will be
deeded to the town and. a town meeting
will be called for the purpose of ac-
cepting the same. which no doubt will
be done as this new roadway to Boton
will not cross the tracks of the Dan-
bury road to Wilson Point as at pres-
ent... '
The extension of the Tramway tracks
to Roton Point will give plenty of
work to a large number of men who
have been lying idle nearly all winter,
and a large amount of money will be
spent in the town, increasing business
and making times better for the mer-
chants.

A Growing Industry.
Some years ago and when but a boy
Robert G. Hanford commenced the
cultivation of flowersat the home of
his father on Harbor avenue. As a
child he seemed never so happy as
when in the company of pansies, holly-
hocks, roses, sunflowers, etc.
He decided to make floriculture a
business and to that end established a
‘ ‘small plant” in 1875 for the cultivation
He gave the business his
tireless and faithful attention with the
result that lie-found it necessary to in-
crease his facilities in order to keep up
with the demands for “things fragrant
and beautiful” in his line.
In 1886 he purchased property at the
end of Isaacs street-and erected a large
hothouse. He now has twelve hot-houses
with something over 12,000 square feet
of glass, all of the same, with the ex-
ception of three, being heated by a 25
horse-power boiler, located on Water
street. The other three houses are
kept at the proper temperature by
means of hot water.
A great variety of plants and flowers
are grown and as far as practicable a
house is devoted to each particular
class of plants. For instance. The first
house entered after leaving the busi-
ness office is filled with immense palms
and plants especially used in decorat-
ng‘
Back of this is a large propagating
and fern house. Opening from the east
end of this house is another one devot-
ed almost entirely to the cultivation of
smilax and Japanese fern or asparagus
plumota. The sight is a pretty one.
Next is a house filled with the new
giant mignonette “Eloise Frances” and
some genestas, the latter presenting
the appearance of a shower of golden
flowers.
Three houses are devoted to carna-
tion plnks, which are grown in the
highest state of perfection and variety
by Mr. Hanford.
One house is filled with lovely popa
goutrer roses. The sight is one long to
be pleasantly remembered. Another
house is devoted to Easter lilies and
callasand when the plants are in bloom
anything more beautiful could hardly
be conceived.
_ The new rose house eighty feet long
18, however, the prettiest sight of all to
the writer, and this is especially true in
the early morn before the roses have
'been culled. The leading varieties to
be found in this house are the Bride,
La France, Catherine Mermot, Perle,
Mad. Cusin and Bon Silene. _
Thorelis also a house filled With ex-
quisite ferns and beautiful tropical and
foliage plants, and thousands of young
seedhng palms. ,
The “plant” is complete in every de-
tail and the choicest flowers known are
grown. _Want of space will not permit
of special mention of the different
flowers to be found there, but Mr. Han-
ford Will gladly show any and all who
wrsh, through the different houses.
Probably‘no florist in this section of
the state enjoys a better patronage than
does Mr. Hanford. The amount of cut
flowers and plants disposed of is some-
thing surprising.
_ Another branch of his business which
re rapidly growing is the sale of seeds.
He deals only in the highest grade of
seeds and a guarantee accompanies
each sale. . , .
Mr Hanford. carries an immense
stock of palms, ferns, etc., and is often-
times ‘In receipt of orders out of the
state for festal decorations, weddings,
funerals, etc. -. The attractive appear-
ance of the mounds in the parks of this
city in the early spring and summer is
duein a. great measure to his taste and
Judgment. ‘
Again we as call at his place on
13-21? l Isaac street an see for yourself.

of the old spectacle but the story and
its name. The music is a feature,
which, though not brought into promi-
nence is characteristic and pretty and
introduces some exceedingly graceful
and unique steps and marches. The
ballot is all that could be desired, fresh
faced piquantlooking girls who_per,—
form a variety of fancy dances, ensem-
bles and marches with much skill and
elegance. The costuming is superb
and new; harmonious in color and de~
sign. The specialties are'so numerous
that they crowd each other and special
mention of them would of necessity
include nearly all.

under any of the known theatrical no-
menclature. It is a. comic opera, a bur-
lesque, a variety show, an Amazonian
march, all welded together by the in-
fectious element of fun, and the fun is
of that peculiar kind that embraces
everything, from puns to horseplay.
The idea might serve as a fairly good
satire on Gilbert’sdelicious other satire
in “ Pygmaliona’nd Galatea,” had the
lines been written in that strain. As it
lesque,’ that is nowhere more neatly
touched off than vivifying the statue
by the winding-up. process. A song and
dance bya statue-on a pedestal, is, to
saythe least, startling and very effect-
ive, from a stage point of view, and
this idea of j ust touching the ridiculous
all the time without‘ever slapping over
into too much ridiculousness, is perhaps
thesecret of the great success of “Ad-
onis.” The company will appear at
