immigration Protection.

Dr. Senner, the United States Com-
missioner of Immigration, contributes
an article of much interest to the North
American Review, in which he express-
es the belief that the number of immi-
grants landed at the various Atlantic
ports this year will be smaller than for
a long period of years. The decrease
of late has been very marked.

The falling off last year was attribut-
able in great measure to our depressed
industrial conditions, but Dr. Senner

tion of Congress on the subject with
contributing much to results that have
been reached and that are likely to
continue. There is a more rigorou:
system of inspection than ever before,
the steamship companies are under
much better discipline and far more
disposed to obey the requirements of
the law than to risk the heavy penalties
of its violation, and as a consequence
the tide of immigration that formerly
set this way in such vast and indiscrim-
inate volume has been largely checked.

The law is doing its best work, how-
ever, not only in diminishing the num-
ber of new-comers, but in thoroughly
sifting the quality of those who do
come. The latter are of a much better
class than in other days were dumped
so indiscriminately upon our shores
They bring more money, they pay their
own way for the most part, they are of
greater educational attainments, they
have more definite objects in view;
there are fewer paupers, anarchists,
contract laborers, or fugitives from jus-
tice among them. All of which is reas-
suring as to the future and points to
the not remote possibility of a system
that in the regulation of immigration
shall well nigh approach perfect-ion.

Efficient laws efliciently enforced are
all that is necessary to reach this end,
and now that public sentiment is so
strong and united as to the proper poli-
cy of the government in this behalf,
there is no further danger of reirogres-
sion or neglect on the part of Con-
gress. The work that was so long be-
ginning is at last being well done and
promises to be crowned with eminent
success.

The laboring classes of America need
protection from free trade in immigra-
tion as much as in manufactured pro-
ducts.

Second Heavies.

The Seeonc “ Heavies,” as the Sec-
ond Connecticut regiment of artillery
is commonly known, met in the G. A.
It. hall, Bridgeport, Wednesday after
noon, to consider the erection of a
monument on a southern battlefield.
An appropriation of $1,000 was allowed
them by the last legislature for this
purpose.

Upon motion of W. E. Disbrow a
committee, consisting of Judge Feun,
the Rev. W. H. Lewis and D. C. Kil-
burn. was appointed to select a general
committee, whose duty it would be to
select a site, make arrangements for
the erection of the monument, and do~
cide upon a date to unveil it.

They reported the following names.
which proved acceptable to the meet-
ing: Chairman, F. A. Lucas of West
Goshen, Conn., the Rev. W. H. Lewis
of Bridgeport, A. E. Bliss of Washing-
ton, D. C., H. S. McKenna of Hart-
ford. and D. C. Kilburn of Litchficld,

During the past month frequent com-
plaints have been made of the preval-
unco in Bridgeport of glaudered horses.
lumane Agent Middlebrook has causod
a new rule to be adopted in these CBSt 5
because of the danger of contagion to
human beings. In future when a com-
p;aint of the character is madcthe own-
er of the horse will be ordered to report
at the office of the humane agent. He
will then be ordered to summon a veter-
inary surgeon. The latter is to make a
weekly examination of glandered horses
and the owners are to submit the physi-
cian’s certificate weekly until the horse
is entirely recovered or killed as the
case may be. Failure to comply with
these regulations will leave the owner
of the horse neglected liable to prose-
cution. '

Many Friends.

A Long to be Remembered Society
Event.

The reception and sociable of the
Norwalk club at their handsome club
house on \Vall street. Wednesday even-
ing, was a happy affair and a society
event long to be remembered by the
large number of guests present._ The
several rooms were handsomely decor-
ated with potted plants and fernsand
thrown wide open to the guests. _Moes-
1111’s orchestra was stationed in the
wide hallway and completely filled the
edifice with their charming music,
which together with the floral decora-
tions reminded one of fairyland. Two
of the rooms were given up to dancing
and were crowded with merry waltzers
until midnight. _

In the billiard room chairs were ar-
ranged and those who did not wish to
participate in the dancing were given
an opportunity to watch the lovers of
t-erpsichore as they glided around the
room. The handsome toilets worn by
the ladies presented a most beautiful
sight, and when the music closed all
regretted leaving for home so happy
had the hours been Spent

In one end of the billiard room cater-
er DeKIyn was stationed and ice cream,
lemonade and cake were served to the
guests in DeKlyn’s best style.

A Darien Dog Case.

The sad case of Ernest Koch. of
Darien occupied the attention of a Jury
in the criminal common pleai court
room before .Judge Curtis Tuesday
afternoon. Koch was a former resident
of Norwalk where he was a tousorial
artist. A fair number of Koch’s ”bound
overs” have passed into Sherifi' Clark-
son’s temporary keeping at one and
another time, but in those palmy days
Justice Koch little expected to travel
the same road as he has travelled.
The justice’ troubles are not, however,
as serious of their kind as they seem to
him—he is accused of, first keeping an
unregistered dog, and second, of ap-
plying cpprobrious epithets to one
Charles McCarty with the result that a
breach of the peace was created.

The trouble was caused by the dog.
The dog is described as an overgrown
pug dog. McCarty owns a mastiff.
One day Koch’s pug snapped at Me-
Carty’s mastiff. While McCarty held
the mastilf to preVent it killing the pug
out rushed Koch, saying. McCarty says,
“I’ll shoot that big dog.” McCarty
tried to explain.

“You’re a liar,” cried Koch.

McCarty promptly informed Koch
that lie—Iioch—w'as a Dutchman born
under the bar sinister, a remark which
Koch resented by causing McCarty’s
arrest. McCarty resented his arrest
by causing Koch’s arrest on the charges
as above given.

“What you’re trying to do is to get
even,” said Lawyer Walsh of Nor-
walk, the prisoner’s counsel.

“No, sur, its justice I want.” said
McCarty, "when I was leading me dog
away this man sed, "There goes two
dogs.” McCarty is an old soldier.
The case was continued to Wednesday.
The jury disagreed.

—-Progresslon.

Merchandising in these days of pro-
gression has resolved itself into an art.
System, discipline, good judgment,
close attention to the wants of the pub-
lic, watchfulness of the markets, all
are factors that are requisite to success-
ful rerults in merchandising.

The inauguration of a new depart-
ment hitherto foreign to the regular
customs thereby ignoring the wants of
patrons, notwithstanding it is truly
metropolitan is no, easy task at first,
but when‘the public attest their appre-
ciation of such a laudable undertaking
by giving it their support and patron-
age, it backs up the assertion that

“progression is the motto of the day.”

Some two years ago the D. M. Read
company conceived the idea that, in
connection with their largely increas-
ing dry goods and carpet business,
there was a demand for the furtherance
of the interests of their patrons, for a
strictly first class crockery and glass-
ware department, consequently they
opened up a large basement and stocked
it with thousands of dollars worth of
“reliable crockery.” This branch be-
ing new to the public caused uphill
work for a time, but with the tenacity
worthy any reputable undertaking they
stuck to it and today they rank in the
fore front in the crockery business of
this city.

The wants of housekeepers are care-
fully studicd and the latest styles and
designs are to be found in their well se-
lected stock. Dinner sets and tea sets
of the best known makes are a special-
ty with them and include Leonard’s
Vienna china, Carlsbad china, John
Maddex A‘s Sons. Ridgeway 5: Sons, Al-
fred Meakins and Wedgeworth 55 Co.’s
semi-porcelain, all of which rank high
in the market. _

Cut and pressed glass ware in a hun-
dred different styles of goblets, tum-
blers and dishes.

Royal Worcester and Dolton brie-a.

Their sales in dinner and tea sets
show a wonderfully marked increase
this season.

own interests, ’is turned towards the

Republican Landslide.

Practically complete returns from
Rhode Island show that Brown Crop.)
for governor, Will be elected by fully
4,000 plurality. It has been a republi-
can landslide and the democratic rout
is complete. The entire republican
ticket is elected and the legislature is
overwhelmingly republican. Last year
the democrats controlled the House
having forty representatives. This year
they will have but four.

The former democratic cities of Prov-
dence, Newport, Pawtucket and Wo‘on~
socket have gone republican.

The vote as far as received in: Brown
26,362; Baker, 20,761. The prohibitory
vote was much less than last year. The
complexion of the legislature insures

 

the election of ex Governor Gfioége P.
,Wetmoreto ,sujcceed Senator i on in
the United State‘s Sen-ate.

uni Gui HAVE THEM.
A Boston Firm want‘s‘tlie Norwalk
Water Notes.

They Bid for them at 4- per Cent.

The city of Norwalk is in receipt of
a proposition from the firm of Gay 8.:
Stanward. Boston bankers, making a
bid for the Norwslk water notes at
4 per cent. The matter was brought to
the attention of the finance committee,
but no mention of the same was made
at the last council meeting, at least
while the reporters were present, but
informally discussed, we learn, after
the meeting.

At present these notes are in the
main held by the Norwalk Savings
society, this society having of the full
amount $44,174.47, the Fairfield county
savrng's society $2,500 and W. F. Bish-
op, trustee, 88.398.2S on which interest
at the rate of 4;} and 5 per cent. is paid.

The proposition of the Boston firm
was to take all of these‘notes, dating
purchase of the same 'from April list,
1894, at the interest above mentioned,
and they to have the agreement of the
city to issue gold bonds at 30 years, at
par. when granted by the legislature.

.This would give the Boston firm the
right to handle over $50,000 worth of
N orwalk bonds, for 30 years at par,and
would be a “snap” for the firm, to say
the least. And. furthermore our city
notes would be floating around all over
the country, and it would be a puzzle to
tell who the holders were or where the
interest was payable.

In view of the fact that the borough
as well as the city‘havc been accommo-
dated by the local banks, whenever
called upon, and at a reasonable rate of
interest, and that such an arrangement
for the placing of the bonds as proposed
by the Boston firm. would in no wise be
to the advantantage of the city no ac-
tion was taken in the matter-in other
words the offer was respectfully de-
clined.

Catarrhal Neuralgia, Almost Par-

Marvelously Restored to Health by
Hood’s Sarsaparlila.

10. I. Hood 8.: Co., Lowell, Mass. :

“I was taken sick with catarrhal neuralgia
and a complication of diseases, with
_ Nervous Prostratlon.
Physicians said there was no help for me. I
was rundown so low there was nothing to build
on. They said I had catarrh of the bladder. I
had such light feelings in my head I could hard—
ly_wa.lk around the house. I think my throat
came very near being paralyzed, and it was with
the greatest difficulty I could swallow food. I
became discouraged, and thinking I had once
before taken a few bottles of Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilia I decided to try it again. I am thankful I
did. When I commenced taking it I weighed 98
pounds; now I weigh 139 pounds. I could not
stand on my feet long enough to wash my
dishes; now I can do all my work washing in-
cluded, for five in family. Everyone exclaim:
when they see me,

How Well You are Looking.

I have such faith in Hood's Sarsaparlila I use it
in my family, and when I see anyone that is sick
I always advise him to take Hood’s Sarsapa-

Hood’s Salim Cures
rilla. I know what it has done for me and I feel

as if I could not sound its praises enoug .”
