'Only One Coupon.
As a large number of GAZETTE read-
ers have the mistaken idea that it is
necessary to bring six coupons of con-
secutive dates before they can obtain a
portfolio of “The World and Its Peo-
ple by Sunlight,” we have conéluded to
change the number of coupons to one.
Anyone desiring a portfolio can now
obtain it by presenting one coupon and
ten cents at the business office of the
GAZETTE.
Eighteen numbers have been issued
and back numbers can betsupplied.
Man’s lnhumanlty.
It is an unfortunate and sorrow-mov-
ingv fact that there are at this time and
in this country men who would plunge
this nation into all the indescribable
horrors of a great war in order that“
the present discontent and dangerous
restlessness may have an outlet, and
that industries now dormant may be
awakened. These thoughtless or vi-
cious advocates of strife see in their
program conflict with Great Britain,
occupation as soldiers for the large
number of unemployed, abnormal acti-
v1ty in agriculture and manufactures,
and vast opportunity for political
’Ihe inhumanity of the propo-
sition is brutally plain and it cannot
but be met with disapproval of the
great mass of the American people—
the same people who would, were there
any sufficient cause, shed the last drop
of their blood in defense of a principal
to uphold which the stars and stripes
had been invoked. If any foreign
power had unrighteously offended the
dignity of the United States'or had
dealt unjustly with an American citizen
and then impudently refused to apolo-
gize for the wrong, wAr would perhaps
be the only means by which redress
could be secured, but to insist upon
a deliberate quarrel with some power
(with which we are now on friendly
terms) solely because an international
disturbance seems to some to be the
only thing that will uplift the gener-
ally depressed conditions from which
this country‘sufi‘ers is to. do a very
wicked thing. Of course it is highly
improbable that such advice will be
seriously considered by those who have
it in their power to bring about the
disagreement for which these selfish
ones agitate, but this does not excuse
the guilty ones’ for their activity in
planning bloodshed.
Hundreds of thousands of people in
this country have experienced the suf-
fering consequent upon warfare and
these will be slow to follow those who
see 'in the killing and wounding of
armies and the grief of the widowed
and the fatherless temporary advantage
for the few. At this time there is ab-
solute harmony between the United
States and all the. other nations of
earth, and to invent some trifling cause
for war would be nothing less than a
crime. The idea that the unemployed
of the country can do no better for
themselves and their families than earn
$13 a month by service in the army is .
absurd, for fully ninety per cent._ of
those who now lackoccupation and de-
sire it can find work on the farms and
secure in return for their toil very
much more cash and much better sub~
istence and quarters than fall to the
ot of the soldier in the field, while the
risk to life would be incomparably less.
The trouble with too many of the idle
men of the laboring class is theii' obsti-
nacy as tothe variety of occupation
they will follow; they have set up a
wage-standard and do not propose to
deviate from it no matter how much
they and those dependent on them may
suffer, Preparation for war is proper
and commendable for the‘ reason ad-
vanced by Washington, who, said “to
be pré‘pared for war is one of the most
effectual ways of .preserving peace,”
but an aggressive effort to force some
nation to war with us could never be
excused on the ground of national ex-
pediency or party exigency. The evil
would not be of the unmixed variety,
however, could the country be assured
that thcconscienceless ones who advo~
cate causeless strife would be conspicu-
ously located on the skirmish line at
- the opening of the first engagement,
suggests the Washington Star.
Satisfied.
The old Senatorial lady doth protest
too much, methinks. A simple resolu-
tion to investigate the charges of brib—
ery would have met the present re-
quirements. But to include the issue
of an alleged contribution of half a
j million dollars to the Democratic na~
tional crampaign fund""by the Sugar
Trust, and' also if any Senators have
been speculating in Sugar stocks pend-
ing consideration of the Tariff'_bill, is
widening the scope of the inquiry to a
point where nothing will be found "out.
But as this is the end aimed at in these
investigations, we presume [that every-

Ridgelleld Struck by Light-

Neighbors Extinguish the Flames
During the Absence of the
Owner.
During the severe storm which v1s1ted
this section about noon on Saturday, a
bolt of lightning descended and struck
the residence_of Editor Bross of the
Press at Ridgefield, tearing the rear 'oi
the house to pieces and setting it on
fire. Editor and Mrs. Bros‘s were ab-
sent in Danbury at the time and no one
was at home excepting Mrs. Bross'
mother and two children,‘all of whom
were stunned by the shock, but not
seriously injured. .
As soon as the house was discovered
to boom fire Mr. Heman Stevens, who
lives next door, gave the alarm and the
neighbors assembled and extinguished
the flames after about $300 damages
had been done. -
Mrs. Stevens, who is a daughter of
the late George Warren of Orchard
street, this city, was also stunned by
the shock and another neighbor living
beyond the Stevens’ residence fainted
away when the crash came. _
The damage to Mr. Bross’ house is
estimated by him to be between two
and three hundred dollars, which is in-
sured with O. E. Wilson of this city.
Their Third Anniversary.
The third anniversary of Grace
Church Sunday school was celebrated
Sunday evening, and notwithstanding
the storm a large number of scholars
were present. The school started three
years ago with seven teachers and forty-
two scholars and new numbers twenty
teachers and two hundred scholars.
Rev. Mr. Watkins made an interesting
address to the scholars and then read
the roll of honor, which consists of
those who have not been absent on
Sunday during the past year, and was
as follows: Eliza. Davis, Nelly Dows-
bury, Howard Montgomery, Frederick
Dewsbury, Robert Davis and John
Woodward. .The prize banner for the
best .average of attendance was award-
ed for the second time to Bishop Spauld-
ing’s class, Mr. Rogers teacher. Bish-
op Whipple’s class, Mrs. G. A. Greg-
ory teacher, being second. Mr. Wat-
kins also awarded prizes to Ella Brad-
ley and Herbert Ireland for bringing
the 8largest number of new scholars in-
to the school. ~
Work of the Lightning.
A valuable cow owned by Hall Broth-
ers, Portland, was struck by lightning
Friday night, and instantly killed.
Lightning struck the house of J. H.
Proctor at City Point, Saturday, de-
molishing the chimney nearly its whole
length and badly damaging the house.
The house of Charles Redfield at Or-
ange was struck by lightning Saturday,
stunning Mr. Redfield. >
Abram Strouse, gardener for Mrs.D.
H. Wilcox, New Haven, was knocked
se‘n scless by lightning during the shower»
Saturday morning. The bolt also
struck a tree in Mrs. Wilcox’s yard.
During Saturday’s electric shower,
lightning struck and split the liberty
pole at New Canaan.

The Ghost Train First.
The Work of eliminatidg the immense
curve on the Consolidated road at
\Voodmont was completed Sunday, and
the “Ghost” train leaving New York at
3 o’clock passed over the straight tracks
during the afternoon. «
There were a number of railroad
officials and a party of New York news
paper men aboard the train. They
took the trip for the purpose of view-
ing the improvements which have been
made on the road since the four tracking
was begun; the removal of the curve was
one of the biggest of the immense im-
provements which have been made in
the road. ‘ ' ,.

Main street. .
On Saturday afternoon, as is report-

The young man used, it is alleged, very

Harry worked as usual on Sunday
but this morning suddenly disappeared,
and with him went a watch and chain
and diamond locket loaned to him by a

stated that he left several I. O. U.’s for‘

The different saloons in town had"belch-

of the number being loaded for fight
and others willing to be Spectators. A
few drifted on to Water street. A sin-

tumble affair, but not enough blood
was spilled to paint a door knob. On
the arrival of two policemen the crowd
dispersed and the fighters staggered to

Despite the fact that the storm of
Sunday was the most severe of the sea-
son comparatively little damage was
done hereabouts. The greatest suffer-

owners of cherry trees-
'1 he earth was thirsty and drank up
the moisture as rapidly as it fell. There
was a high wind and the trees swayed

Sunday morning Charles Hyatt, sup-
erintendent of the Meeker Foundry,
as is his custom visited the foundry to
see that everything was all right.
In going about the foundry he found
a bin of charcoal on fire. , He immedi-
ately set to work and with a few well
directed pails of water succeeded in.
extinguishing the fire which had gained
considerable headway.
For several days a number of molders
from the Richardson & Morgan com-
pany have been at work at the Meeker
foundry and it is thought that one of
the men so engaged hung up a ladle
molds and in which there was some of
the molten iron left, which dripped
into the charcoal and set it on fire.
The R. 65. M. company had several
hundred dollars worth of valuable pat—

bin which but for the timely discovery
of Mr. Hyatt would no doubt have re-
