En- terprising. attractive and. honest, its readers believe in it and peruse it thoroughly; and its Editorials and Advertisements get closer attention than do the columns of less re- spected papers The manufacmrer, Temperance and Catholicism. Nothing in recent years in the way of temperance reform" has arisen, which promises so much as the attitude of the Pope’s special representative to this country, Mgr. Satolli and the wide en- dorsement his position is receiving from Catholic prelates throughout the Unit- ed States. Wednesday the Catholic Total Absti- nence 'Union of America began its twenty-fourth general Convention with an attendance of 400 delegates at St. Paul, Minnesota. An important incident of the conven- tion was the vigorous and very hearty way Archbishop Ireland endorsed Sa- tolli in his opposition to the liquor traffic. He strongly denounced the running of saloons by Catholics and said “the Pope is pleased with the work of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union” and declared that “His Holi- ness was emphatically against Catholics having anything to do with the liquor traffic.” ' “The Church demands that is mem~ bers be temperate,” continued the Archbishop. “America has set her face against the saloon, the den of corrupt politics, and any church which will not come out for temperance is an odious excrescence of the soil. The great self- denial to-day is in the pledge. Be charitable, but the best charity to prac- tice is to lead your brothers in the ranks of temperance.” ‘ ‘I am not looking for the millennium, but we can reduce the number of drinking men so that it will be the ac- cepted saying that no drunkards are among the Catholics. Speakto the vic- tims of the drink habit. They have the principles of faith in them and only need a helping hand.” “The American saloon is the vile den of intemperance. It is laden with blas- phemy and sensuality. I make no re- ference to the personal characters of saloon keepers, but the business isbad. It is the enemy of good and the coun- '.~ try. Let the day soon come when we shall not see the name of a Catholic above the portals of a saloon.” “We must have all Catholics in office arraigned against the saloon element and its interests. Political slavery is hideous, and especially so when it brings slavery to alcohol.” “Those in the saloon traffic should seek a more worthy calling. The Church holds up a. high ideal. Will Catholics rise to this high ideal P” The Heated Spell. The present heated term has been the most severe of modern times. It has now continued, with rare interrup- tions, for twenty days, and seems likely telnet longer without material change in the :temperature. Not only has the weather been extremely hot, but the humidity has been excessive, making it one of the most oppressive and fatal heated terms we have had for years. Notwithstanding the object lessons presented to the public in sunstrokes and other fatal cases of heat from year to year, there are many who still per- sist in disregarding the necessary pre- cautions to assure reasonable safety from oppressive weather. All who can do so should avoid exposure to the sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, but many are compelled to ex- pose themselves to excessive heat by pursuing their daily avOcations. All who are thus exposed need to exercise unusual caution to avoid sunstroke and other serious effects of the hot spell. The head should be especially pro- tected, and as it can be done in a very cheap and simple way, those who fail thus to protect themselves are liable to suffer serious bonsequences from ne- glect. A cabbage leaf worn in the hat is the best possible protectiOn from the hot sun, and a frequently moistened handkerchief will answer the purpose. Not only should men protect them- selves, but they should protect the horses they employ. The simplest method of protecting horses is to have a little linen awning stretched between the ears to permit a- current of .air to cool the head. Horses should be wa- tered frequently, but never allowed to drink as much as they would. Excessive heat produces many dis- eases which are not common in ordi- nary weather, and'this calls for ex- treme caution in diet. Vegetables be- come stale very quickly in hot weather. and there is no more certain source of summer complaints than the use of vegetables which are not entirely fresh. People should carefully avoid excessive eating even of healthy food, and they should be quite-as careful'to guard against excessive drinking of ice water. Meats should be used sparingly, and great care should be exercised to drink with the utmost moderation. Espec- ially avoid all the tempting cooling drinks which are offered on every side. The best drink is pure water and as little (of it as will satisfy the thirst. It is impossible to avoid all the perils ‘of aprotracted heated term, but it is quitepOssible to reduce the evils to the minimum andthus preserve the health of many, and in some instances save life. ‘ Fortunate is the man who has a well of cool, pure water in which no ice is required to render it palatable. If city water must be used for drinking, boil it and place in the ice box, but. put no ice into it, especially for children. -o Fireman’s Convention. Wednesday afternoon’s session of the state firemen’s convention at, llerbv was very interesting and the Sterling Opera house where the meeting,r was held was crowded with the delegates, There were 155 delegates present and 150 visitors. The afterioon session was opened with prayer by Rev. W. . Barton of the Methodist church, after which an address of welcome was made by Maj. T. J. O’Sullivan. PreSident Eaton of Hartford presided over the business meeting, and the re- ports of the different officers were read and showed the association to be in a prosperous condition. The election of officers for the ensu- ing year then took place and resulted as follows: President, William C. Smith of New Haven; vice president at large, Morris Meyer of Danbury; vice p students (one from each county), New aven county, W. C. Wallace of Ansonia; Litchfield county, W. H. Dayton of Torrington; Tolland county, John Meyer of Rock- ville; VViudham county, Patrick Flynn of Willimantic; Fairfield county, ”‘ mar- ence E. Palmer of Bridgeport; New London county, L. W. Greenburg of Norwich; Mfddlesex county, I". . . ’Willey of Middletown; Hartford coun- ty, E. C. O’Brien of Hartford. _The election of delegates to the national convention was postponed until tog-day’s session. Samuel C. Shag; of Wiser- bury was elected treasurer and John S5; Jones of \Vestport was elected escrow tary of the association. These vwo members have held that oilees conun- uously since the association was organ- ized. A banquet was given the visiting iro- men in the evening by the citiz‘egl. There were 800 present” and addresses were made by Mayor Q’S’all-ivan, Pres- ident Smith, ex-President Eaton and other prominent members of the asso- ciation. There was 9. parade and flac- works previous to the banquet. There is a good natrured fight over the selection of the p ace of meeting for next year. Bridgeport wanted it, but Hartford seems to object to Bridge- » ort getting anything that the Capitol City can keep her from having and so she has entered the field. The dele- gates from upper Connecticut are natur- ally with Hartford, and Bridgeport counts for support on her southerly neighbors. South N orwalk is watching the struggle keenly and it would not be surprising to see her walk off” with the prize while the two rivals are fighting it out. The convention will close to-day. <Q use D'ANA.*'s_sansarAniL pair's “THE KIND THAT OURa-s. " O Mortuary Record.

Suspected of Being in League With 'Counterfeiters. Last week United States Secret Ser- vice officers quietly arrested a man in New York on the charge of counterfeit- ing. When taken to headquarters and- searehed, $700 in bright, new, crisp $10 countdrfeit bills were found on his per- son. He was locked up and his arrest kept secret. The officers had been up- on the man’s track for some time and were endeavoring to locate the plate from which the bills were printed, which is said to be the best counterfeit ever run out by any gang, before mak- ing an arrest. While the Secret Ser- vice officers were shadowing this party they discovered “Bus” Hoyt, a hatter, was one of his companions and an officer was placed on his track who followed him to South Norwalk, where he visited his wife, who is keeping house for he brother, William C. Byxbee. ‘ Having located Hoyt a. telegram to headquarters in New York brought Mr. Scanlon, another Secret Service officer, to South Norwalk, who regis- tered under the assumed name of Wil- son at the Mahackemo. On Monday Hoyt disappeared and the two officers, Messrs. Scanlon and Escovelle, have been watching every train since that day for Hoyt to return. They were as sisted in their search by Chief Vollmer of South Norwalk, who rendered them valuable aid. As every train came into the depot the passengers were carefully scanned by the waiting officers, but without re- sult until Wednesday afternoon when the 4:32 Pittsfield express reached South Norwalk. After scrutinizing the pas- sengers who alighted from this train without finding their man, Agent Es- covello entered the train and found Hoyt fast asleep, or pretending to be asleep, in the last car with a ticket for Bethel. He was quickly awakened and placed under arrest on suspicion, but a careful search of his person failed to reveal any counterfeit money. When informed on what charge he was wanted Hoyt denied any and all knowledge of the matter and readily agreed to accompany the officers back to New York, where they took him on a late train. He will be given a hearing before the United States Commissioner to-day. IO. Justice Court. Complaint was made to Grand Juror John H. Hoyt, on Sunday, that a man named John Gambin had struck his daughter on the head with a club. He made an investigation with the result that a warrant was sworn out. for Gam- bin’s arrest. When an officer went to serve the writ he found that Gambin had left town. He was seen on the street yesterday afternoon and placed under arrest. This morning he was taken before Justice Austin and pleaded ' not guilty to the charge of assault, and said that he was only chastizing her for disobeying him. The girl was placed in the witness chair and it was hard work in getting her to testify against her father. She had a wound on the side of her head which the testimony went to show was inflicted by the side- stick of an old carriage top. The J us- tice imposed a fine of $7 and costs and thirty days in jail. The next case was that of John ite. He pleaded guilty to drunken- ness, cruelty to a horse and resistance to the officer. He escaped with a fine of $6 and costs—$2 on each count. Whit-e works for Lincoln, the express- man. Last evening complaint was made to an officer that White was drunk and shamefully abusing a horse at the barn. Officer Bartram went to the scene and placed White under ar- rest. He made a determined resistance and falling to the ground dragged the officer on top of him, and got for his pains a self-inflicted black eye where it came in contact with a rock. He was finally landed in the lockup, With the above result. William Trles A Bicycle. Considei'able excitement was occa- sioned on Knight street yesterday after- noon by the appearance of William Meseberg astride of a bicycle. He was flanked on either side by Undertaker Carroll and Fred Harden, who had to use their utmost caution to keep Wil- liam astride of the pesky thing. As the quartet came down the street pe- destrians hugged the buildings and carriages the curb, in fact every living thing made room. First William was on one side of the street and thena sudden tack would land him against the curb on the opposite side, and the trail left behind in the dust resembled the course made by the Pretzel sail- ing up the creek. When the corner of the Street Railway depot was reached William came very near running over Harry Leobold, who was coming , down the street with his arms full of purchases he had made at the great Boston store sale. Seeing his danger William grabbed Fred Harden affec- tionately about the neck and fell off. , As he picked himself up and wiped the perspiration from his face he was heard to remark, “Poys, I would rather took my awning to be dyed and lose my tollars than to ride dot instrument.” ——ooo Hebrew Month of Ab. Next Friday will be the first day of the Hebrew month of Ab—a month com- memorating the worst national disasters ‘in the history of the Jewish people mark-' ing the destruction of their existence ~ as a nationality in the Holy Land, and other terrible episodes. On the 9th of ‘ this month (postponed this year to the 10 because of the Sabbath,) a strict fast is observed, and lamentations and eleg- ies are recited. The entire period cov- ered by the ten days of this month, and even some days before, is marked by a soberness among Orthodox Israelites, who refrain from pleasures allowable at other times and seasons. The three Sabbaths preceding are also specially characterized by selected prophetic selections read by some in a minor in- stead of amajor key, and other distinct- . ive features in the services. fin- .Q.

The Danbury selectmen are consider- ing the advisability, of including in their annual'report a-list of those-gper- ‘sons who have-been aided during the year as “out door poor,” as a means of checking abuses. “Recently,” says a selectman, “a woman came to .us with a story of poverty of the most distressmg type. Her husband was an invalid and herself and children sufi‘ered for. neces- saries of life. Finally we. allowed her 32a week and she went away. One day Selectman Sanfordof Bedding, told us he had a sad case of poverty on his hands—a family that had formerly ‘livedin Danbury. The kind heart of Mr. Sanford had been touched to the extent of 84a week. I found it was the same familyI was paying 82 a week- Mr. Sanford and I compared notes and the result was we both out the family from our lists. It seems the husband had remOved toa small farm he had leased in Bedding. Each week his wife would drive up here, (the family owned a horse) and collect her money from me. I was astonished to find the family owned the place they had lived on in this town and had rented it. when they moved to Bedding.” . The Danbury dispatch says: “While we appreciate the efforts of the select- men to prevent fraudulent imposrtion of public charites, nevertheless we be- lieve the printing and publishing of‘the names of indivrduals whom, during the crisis through which we passed, have received aid in any manner from the town authorities, is an uuWise move. unjust, and furthermore, most decid- edly uncharitable, and we shall oppose it to the end.” ..__._._._. ... The NoramaKe Club. At a meeting of the Noramake Rod and Gun club held last evening the notices previously given of proposed amendments to the by-laws were with- drawn and the chairman, Mr. C. N. Wood, authorized to have the by laws printed as formerly adopted, which in- cludes the section prohibiting the mem- bers from hunting or fishing for profit. A committee was appointed to confer with George Clarke in reference to us- ing N orwalk Park for trap shooting etc. A vote was also passed offering a re- ward of $20 for the arrest and convic- tion of any person violating the game and fish laws of the state, and a com- mittee was appointed to draft a notice and have the same printed and distri- buted. Several new members were ad- mitted after which the meeting was adjourned to Wednesday evening Aug- ust 15, when the committee appointed to wait upon Mr. Clarke will make their report. ' .n‘ .- Latest from Waccabuc. John Burchard reached here yester- day as special bearer of dispatches from the Norwalk colony, tented on the beach of Westchester’s romantic lake. John reports the boys as all well and hungry as ravenous wolves. Up to time of his leaving, they had not been able to catch fish enough or shoot chickens or chipmunks in sufficient quantities to appease their consuming hunger. The farmers are doing a thrifty trade selling the boys skimmed and buttermilk and straw for their beds on the ground. The lads have had great luck capturing frogs, tad-poles and land turtles, but. as no one knows how to skin and stew them, these sup- plies are a failure as to fodder. But camp life is a‘ great novelty and when it don’t rain (it rains up there ‘betimes if it don’t down here) the boys enjoy it hugely. George Woodward and Harvy Bette rescued two young men whose boat got overturned, from drowning, a few evenings since. .0. is Buslnoss Reviving? There were more people on the streets Wednesday, than for months, and the different stores in town, or at least those which advertise in the GAZETTE,Seemed to be doing an increased amount of business. This was especially true at the Boston Store. Indeed there was such an influx of customers it was found necessary to lock the doors in order that those already in the store could he waited upon. And every customer wore a look on coming out that they had made satisfactory bargains. It was a" busy afternoon for the clerks. O Cpl. Burpee Married. Lieutenant Colonel Lucien F. Bur- pee of Waterbury, and Mrs. Annie Morton Driggs, of Waterbury, were married in Hartford, Wednesday even- ing, by Albert C. Bill, justice of the peace.

Obltuary. MRS. AUGUSTA AMBLE li. Mrs. Augusta Ambler, who is this afternoon buried from her home on Westport avenue, was one of the oldest residents of Norwalk. Shewas origin. ally from New York city, but came, subsequently to her marriage, to this town where, after her husband’s de- - cease, she carefully brought up her family and has lived to see its members well established in the world. She was a woman of most excellent life and character. Pure principle was the mainspring of what she did. and her sweet temper and disposition ever brought the full sunshine. She has been a widow many years, but has passed very peaceful davs blest by the ministrations of devoted children. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Barnum Meeker by whom she is survived, and by a son also, Mr. Wil- liam Ambler of Norwalk, and by anoth— or daughter, Mrs. Sarah Sherman of Rochester, N. Y., who because of he mother’s infirmity has felt it a duty to remain for several months with her parent. ~____,.... The Prisoner Discharged. This morning Constable Lockwood arrested Mrs. Mary Werner, the house- keeper at Hubbard Blakeslee’s, on the charge of theft, preferred by a painter named William Cornwall. ”She was taken before Justice Hubbell, this noon. who after hearing the ev1dence dis. charged the prisoner. It seems that Cornwall had been doing a job of paint- ing for Mrs. Werner which he finished and was paid'for on Saturday.‘ On Monday he returned to the house for his satchel and wearing apparel but was unable to find it in the room where he left it. He alleged that Mrs. Werner admitted having taken the goods and told him that she intended holding them until such time as she investigated as to what disposal had been made with the paint furnished him. Attorney Hurlbutt for the defense claimed that there was no evidence of theft, and this was evidently the opinion of the justice. A Female Sharper in Jail. Mrs. Newton Wynans, alias Jennie Tenpenny, who is now. in the county jail at Bridgeport on a charge of drunk- enness, will be handed over to the United States authorities on August 11, charged with fraudulently using the mails. It is alleged that she advertised in two Boston papers for a position as typewriter and replied to the answers she received that her mother had just died and that she was in destitute cir- cumstances, each time requesting a small loan, which she said she would pay when .she took her new position. She is believed to have victimized a number of persons. USE DANA'S SABSAPARILLA, IT’S “ THE KIND THAT CURES. ” What the Professor Says. Prof. Lindsley, secretary of the State Board of Health, says: "Where swampy land is not covered with water to a greater depth than ten feet, the water will not become wholesome for thirty years, if ever. That whenever marshy land or wet lands are to be used for reservoirs for obtaining water for domestic purposes, all vegetable growth, including roots of trees and plants, should be removed and the bottom cov- ered with gravel—as an instance of the; kind he referred to the trouble New Britain is experiencing with her water, which is not fit to use from that very cause. Ought to be Stopped. There is a city ordinance in refer- ence to racing on West avenue and it ought to be enforced. The practice of fast driving on this muchly traveled thoroughfare is altogether too com- mon, and a few arrests might have a wholesome affect. Wednesday evening three young ladies had a very narrow escape from being run over by two horses that were being driven at a rapid pace, and it was evident that the drivers of the horses were racing.
