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 concluded 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

Our City’s Water Supply.
It is notorious that our water Supply
i seriously inadequate for the reason-
a le demands for summer use. In the
near future a greater storage supply
must be provrded for. Hard times or
not, this is an inexorable necessity.

Would it not be the part of wisdom and

V economy to start the work now? Labor

is a drug in the market and should and
easily could be had at from 25 to 40 per
centcheaper than in prosperous, bus-
tling times; Nothing is now more
plentiful than labor and capital. The
banks have more funds than they can
find chd and safe security for and our
city could easily float low interest bear-
ing bonds to accomplish the work. If
entered on with earnest and honest
“purpose'with no “jobs” for any one in
it, no more favorable time for extend-
ing the capacity of our water works
can reasonably be hoped for. It is
notorious that our supply is totally in-
adequate to our needs. Complaint is
made on every hand that there is no
pressure in the pipes.

This condition is not exceptional.
Nearly every thrifty community. is
either enlarging their water systems or
urging that it be done. Washington,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and many Con-
necticut towns are in this same situa-
tion. Our communities are rapidly
growing and the people are constantly
using more and more water, whenever
and wherever introduced. Of Brook-
lyn’s condition the Tribune gives hints
that should be heeded here. It says:

“Commissioner White’s recent letter
about increasing the water supply of
Brooklyn, and Chief Engineer Bergen's
report, Which accompanied it, ex-
pressed in detailed and tangible form
one of the most urgent needs of that
city; perhaps, all things considered, its
most urgent need so far as public works
are concerned. There was a time when
Brooklyn was justly proud, both of the
quantity and of the qualityof its water
supply. Analysis showed it to be about
the purest city water in the world, and
itfiowed in a strong and ready stream
from every faucet in the city. But that
time is past. For years the supply has
been failing in quantity and deteriorat-
ing in quality at an alarming rate.
This has been due partly to the rapid
growth of the city and consequent in-
crease of demand, and partly to the
shameful mismanagement and rascality
of Ring and Gang. It would be diffi-
cult to describe too strongly the pres-
ent state of the case. Within three
years the whole city has suffered a
water famine, caused by an occurrence
which may be repeated any day. With-
in a few weeks a great fire has destroyed
some of the finest-buildings in the
heart of the city, the scantiness of the
water supply making the firemen help—
less to cope with it. Except in one
small and favored district the whole
city complains of lack of water‘press—
ure, even in buildings of moderate
height; and the quality of the supply,
at no time comparable with what it
once was, is often so bad as to revolt
the senses of those who are compelled
to use it. t

The proposals made by Mr. White,
based upon Mr. Bergen’s careful re-
port, promise considerable relief. The
scheme includes new pumping-stations,
engines and conduits, and new and
larger mains through the heart of the
city. In this way, it is estimated, the
daily supply can be increased tov‘che
extent of 25,000,000 gallons, to the im-
mediate benefit of all, parts of the city.
The cost of doing this is set down as
something less than $2,500,000. That
is, of course, a considerable sum of
money in a city which has been, under

ring rule, saddled with an enormous.

debt and crushing tax rates. But it is

an exceedingly moderate sum, measJ‘

urcd by the results to be achieved, es-
.pecially in contrast with former ex-
penditures upon the water works. ,
For the present this plan, if executed,
will meet the city’s needs. But it is
evident that in the not 'very distant

 

 

_ futures far more elaborate andfee'stly-
enterprise must be undertaken. The '

water product of Long Island is limit:

ed. Bicoklyn has already drawn upon "1

iii-130 the great detriment of towns, vil-
lages and farms for many miles to the
eastward. One of these days the last
available spring will be tapped, and the
sinking of more wells will be found
"futile. And still the cit will be grow-
ing, and its demand for ater increas-
ing. It is by no means improbable
that New York, too, will have to look
beyond the Croton and Bronx basins
for its supply. At that time the two
cities will perhaps be one, and as a unit
will set about securing water for their
needs. Where they will get it is at pres-
ent mere matter of conjecture,” contin-
ues the Tribune. That “conjecture”
it is well known is already casting its
cOvetous eyes over into the region of
Norwalk’s recently purchased source of
supply and this should be another in-
centive for our speedy action. Let the
good work be inaugurated now, in the
interest of good health, safety from
fires, of our idle workingmen and of
the best interests of our tax payers and
whole population.

 

 

Thomas Hooker’s Worlds.

There seems to be a general awaken-
ing all over our state in matters of
Colonial and Revolutionary history,
thanks to the inspiration emanating
from the twin societies of the Sons and
Daughters of the Revplution. The
Hartford papers give the following in-
teresting facts relating to a collection
made by that city’s Historical society
of the works of the famed theologian
and statesman Thomas Hooker. They
say that in one of the cases in the Con-
necticut Historical Society’s ha] is
now displayed a collection of old books
which, when the name of their author
is noticed, will at once attract the in-
terest of every observer. Tth are
the works of the Rev. Thomas Hooker,
the first minister in Hartford, and a
man eminent in the early history of
the colony. Mr. Hooker was born in
England in 1586, studied for the minis-
try and was given a rectorship, but
was silenced by Archbishop Band for
nonconformity. To escape persecution
he fled to Holland. Here he remained
until his departure for America, .Where
he arrived in September, 1633, and set-
tled in Cambridge. The following
month he was chosen pastor of the
church in that place. In June, 1636,
he removed with his congregation,
Which was composed for the most part
of those who had emigrated to America
With him, to Connecticut and founded
Hartford. Here he continued his pas-
torate until his death in 16-17. His
learning, ability and sound views upon
every subject caused him to be recog-
nized as the leader of the settlement.
He it was who first advanced the idea
of constitutional government, result-
ing in Connecticut’s “fundamental or-
ders” of 1639, the first writ-tel consti-
tution in America and the basis of all
later ones. Mr. Hooker’s printed works,
about thirty in number, were all theo-
logical, as is shown by such titles as
“The Soul’s Humiliation,” “The Chris-
tian Drawn to Christ,” “The Saint’s
Dignity and Duty.” The collection
belonging to 'the Historical Society,
consisting of over twenty editions, is
perhaps the largest collection of his
works that has been gathered.

Cassidy’s Body Found. .

The body of John Ca sidy, aged 40,
was found floating off the East brake-
water, at' Bridgeport Monday, by Henry
Halverson, engineer on the tug Matt
Rowe. Cassidy was a coal shovcller by
occupation and has three brothers re-
siding in that city. He was last seen
Thursday night. '

On the back of the_head of the body
was an ugly wound. At first foul play
was suspected, but the coroner’s inquest
which followed when the body was
brought ashore proved death was due
to drowning.

 

O.

Turner Released.

George Turner, principal of the
Bridgeport Business college who has
been in the jail limits for over a year
was released from that condition Satur-
day. Turner, it will be remembered
was sued by Lila K. Hoisler, a pupil,
for damage to character and a judg-
ment of $1,200 was awarded against
him. He failed to satisfy the jar (uncut,
taking the poor debtor’s oath d was
placed in the jail limits. Turns ’1 at-

to leave the city if he so desires.

Warning to Postmaster-s.

Postmaster General Bissell has ad-
dressed an important circular to Post-
masters of the first, second and third
classes, reviving, so far as postal ofl'i-
cials are concerned, the famous order
of President Cleveland, dated July 14,
1886, warning all officeholders from in-
terfering in political matters. The gist
of that order is this : .

The influence of Federal ofii ceholders should

not be felt in_ the manipulation of political

primary meetings and nominating conven-
tions. The use y these officials of their po-
sition to compass their selection as dele ates
to. political conventions IS. indecent an. un-
fair; and proper regard for the proprieties
and requirements of ofhcml place Will also
preyent their assuming the active conduct of
political campaigns.

To this resurrected admonition Mr.
Bissell adds_a few words of explana-
tion and adv1ce, and mtimates that the
Postmasters of the fourth class Will re-
ceive a copy of the circular at an early

ay. Mr.'Bissel.l’s adv1ce. to his army
of subordinates is interesting, and cpn-
tains valuable hints on gOod breeding
and the proper relations that should
cx1st between Postmasters and citizens.

Hailed From South Norwalk.

Charles St. Clair, a young plumber
who came to Bridgeport from South
N orwalk and was arrested for intoxica-
tion, fell in with a detachment Of the
“dock rats” who haunt the wharf day
and night. As he had some money he
was most royally welcomed. When his
condition became such that he was no
longer able to stand the pace, some of
the crowd shaved a portion of his hair
off on each side of his head. He pre-
sented a comical appearance in court
Monday and insisted that his strag-
gling locks were disfigured by a novice
barber. He didn’t believe that any of
the.fellows he met would do such a
thing. Judge Callahan thgught he
had been punished enough and dis-
charged him. When leaving he said
he had enough money left to get a hair
cut and pay his fare home. Thomas
Casey, who was accused of assaulting
St._Clai-r, was sentenced to four months
in jail.—Bridgeport Farmer.

THE CAPTAIN’S STATEMENT.

Ec‘ Says That the Passengers and Not He
Wore to Blame For the Catastrophe.
‘ His Story of How the Tug Foun-
dcred—Soven Bodies Found.

NEW YORK, J une 26.-—The lists of
lrowned and missing from the sinking of
the tug James D. Nicol off. Sandy Hook
continue to swell. Seven bodies have now
been found, and 36 names are on the miss-
ing list. It will probably never be known
just how many persons were on board the
Ill fated tug at the time of the accident.
Few of the passengers were acquainted

which the names of the lost can be ob-‘
tained is from the applications of their
friends and relatives for information at
police lieadquaters. The passengers came
from all over the east side, from College
Point, from Brooklyn and even from Ho-
bokcn, and it is probable that some of
those drowned will never be reported or
heard from again. It was at first thought
that 63 . passengers were on board the
Nicol, but it has since been developed
that this was the number that embarked
at East ’Flftli' street, while at least 20
more joined her at Broad ,strcet, her last
stopping point. The catastrophe is ren-
dered more harrowing by the fact that
most of the men were married and leave
large families. ..

The missing who have not by this time
been heard from' may be considered to
have gone to the bottom beyond a doubt.
Some were in the cabin sick, and some
were in the boiler room warming them-
selves. .

How It All Occurred.

An explanation of the awful accident
was made by Captain William Hyatt, who
was in charge of the Nicol, and who had
the wheel during all the time until the sea.
poured into the pilothouso, and he had to
leave the tug to save his life.

The captain was seen today at the office of
the company which employed him. He
says it was entirely the fault of the party
he had and through noerror or misman-
agement of his that the boat capsized.
This is his own story in his own words:

“We wore lying close to Seabright at
anchor. There had [been a light, puffy
and hot wind offshore. About 10:80 the
wind changed and came then out of the
northeast. It increased rapidly until it
blew at the rate of 12 or 14 miles an hour.
The sea became rough. It was not a heavy
son, but short and choppy, With occasion-
al heavy swells.

“At half past 11 two men came up into
the pilothouse and said the party wanted
to go down to Long Branch. ,

"They were only members of the party
and not connected with the committee
having charge of the arrangements. .I told
them I would go down and see the com-
mittee about it. I went down on the
lower deck, saw the committee, and when
they said they wanted to go to Long
Branch I refused to run down there. ”

“Why?”

"It was too rough, and I told them so.
So we lay Where we were awhile longer,
though the sea was kicking up harder all
the time right close in shore, where we
Were.” '

Passengers Huddled to I’m-t.

“At 12 o’clock I was requested to make
for the Horseshoe. The committee com-
plained that the party was getting Wet
and not getting any fish. .We started out,
I heading the boat,to the sea. A spray
broke over the starboard side, and they
all huddled over to port.

"The dcckhand tried to get some of
them over on the other side, because there
was a bad list to port. -.

”I saw two swells coming toward me,
rang to slow down and headed for them.
One broke over the starboard bow, and
the port guard went under.

“The second swell struck us on the star-
board side and over we went. The deck-
hand and I climbed out of the starboard
window of the pilot house, as the water
came in the other.”

Both were saved. Captain Hyatt said
he had only 58 passengers aboard, and
that he was allowed by law to carry 60.

the purpose of disillusicnlng us and de-

not Neapolitan at all, but was invented by
a inan in New York who gave it that
name because he could not think of an -
thing else to call ‘it. So goodby to .

Brie cheese is made in Orange county; our
French wines come from California; our
spaghetti never came near salt water until
it was cooked. Since, as it appears, we
must use our own products, Why not an-

lack hats, neapolitan and others, are
much worn this year and are often pro-
fusely trimmed with ostrich plumes, which
are again in full vogue. They are a per-
ishable sort of decoration, although very
beautiful, for the least dampness in the
air destroys the lovely curl that is their
chief charm and make them stiff and flat,
and recur-ling never restores them to their
pristine beauty. , The spangled plumes
are especially sensitive to moisture, their
frost vanishing before a fog as natural
frost does before the sun.

which springs a jet algret. “-

A FLAVOR OF SENTIMENT.

Decorative Touch to the Practical Idea of
Womankind.

“A woman’s greatest charms are those
least easily analyzed. ”

“A woman is not truly beautiful until
the angel of sorrow has touched her with
his wing. ”

These are two of the innumerable pret-
tlly expressed fancies with which the
French nation adds a flavor of sentiment
to its practical everyday life as it adds a
decorative touch' to the ubiquitous negli-
gee morning sack by means of a bow of
ribbon. We in America have still some-
thing to learn from the older countries, al-
though not perhaps on the points upon
which we are most willing to receive in-
struction. We are so scientific and so pro-
gressive that We leave no room for senti-
ment in our life and are in danger Of set-

tllng' down into a sort of highly moral
materialism. Sentiment, even if lt occa-
slonally degenerates into sentimentality,
is a genuine relief from the utilitarianism
which is the atmosphere in which we ex-
lst as a people. The French are scientific
and even more thrifty than ourselves, but
they contrive to take life with the bloom
on it and make living in some sense an
artistic pleasure, whereas half of us live

scions. of the fact that it is very tedious
work indeed. We are inclined to ignore
our emotions and afford them no escape
valve, so permit-ting them to concentrate
their force until they break out into seri-
ous demonstration. Perhaps we shall
never improve in that direction, and if so
we can only lay it to the climate, which al-
ready bears the responsibility of our nasal
awent and our restlessness.

Possibilities of Surgery.

The extent to which the human body
can be mutilated Without causing death
is beyond What most people think. Of
course the removal of the largest limb
is a familiar fact, but the successive re-
moval of all the limbs would in most
cases result in' nothing worse than in-

- convenience. In the same way the in-
ternal organs may be extirpated. This
is facilitated by their quality. One kid-
ney may be removed, and the other will

' make up for the loss by doing double
work. One eye may be taken out and
the sight remain practically unimpair-
ed. Large portions of the brain may be
remo’d with no injury tolife or intel-
lect; A portion of‘ the intestines has
been cut out and the ends sewed togeth-
er, and their normal action and func-
tion have not been interfered with—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

 

Popes and Their Beards. ,-

If we are to believe the old proverb,
prophets have always had boards for the
faithful to swear by. Not so with the
popes. From the time of St. Peter down
to the year 1153 the popes all were full
boards, but for the next four centuries
they were cleanly shaven. Then came a
period of two centuries in which they
again wore the board, but from the year
1700 until the present time the smooth
face alone has been seen in the papal
line. —St. Louis Republic.
