Things to be Careful About. I

'Hot days and cool. nights, of which
we shall . probably have aIgood many
in the next few weeks, are favorable to
the development of: ailments that gripe.
The danger of such attacksis much in-‘
creased by contamination ‘of 'food or
drink, such as often comes from cooking
utensils made of improper material, or
from cheap soldering of fruit and vege-
*table cans or from unwholesome pipes,
faucets, or receptacles for drinking wa-
ter.

It is a good time to use extraordinary
caution in these respects, remembering
that, to all intents and purposes, every
American is his own sole defender in
such matters. In Paris there is a regu-

lar government inspection of all dishes
and utensils used in restaurants, and
of all pans, kettles and faucet-s used in
workshops, while the use of lead, zinc
and galvanized iron in cooking vessels
is absolutely forbidden.
One and lnseparable.

“Direct From the City of South Norwalk”
car-sign suggestion came from a lady of the
City of Norwalk, and was not intended for lit-
eral, long-metre interpretation; still less as a
bugaboo to send the journalistic imagination
cavortin’ over de Hills and through de Forests
of political speculation. It was a mild figure
of satire on the littleness that characterizes
the opposition to what is, after all, the one
burning, biting and back-biting issue—Con-
solidation—the impending question of a
change From South Norwalk, and From “The
Bridge,” to 'lheIGreatIer Norwalk. And we
put to Editor Byington the straightforward
questions on that issue—will you be Off. or
From?—News. . .

In the words of the great and immor-
ial Daniel Webster, the GAZETTE, as
ever before and'always, is for the great-
er Norwalk, “Now and forever, one
and inseparable.”

 

lnteresting Showing.

It is ' a'fvery interesting showing of
the development of the New South that
is furnished in the report of the United
States bureau of statistics. In the year
ended June 30, 1894, the exports from
Southern ports were $296,156,694, as
against $271,715,014 for the year ended
June 30, 1893. The increase of exports
from the entire country (both coasts)
for the later period over the proceeding
year was forty-four millions of dollars;
and of this increase Southern ports had
over twenty-four millions, The estab-
lishing of steamship lines from South-
ern ports has drawn to the lower sea-
board much/ business which formerly
went by the older routes from ports be-
tween the St. Lawrence and Baltimore,
but the increase is chiefly due to the
growth of Southery industries. In this
development New England brains and
captital area large factor.

 

 

Q.

“It Has Took.”

A short time since the B. L. D. GA-
ZETTE commented upon and approved
the highly novel yet frank, open and
honorable action of a life-long Repub-
lican, who so earnestly desired a cer-
tain office that he got up in his party
convention and put himself in nomina-
tion, and followed with an able, elo-
quent and convincing speech in support
of his own candidacy. At the South,
when any man desires a nomination for
an office, he_goes to his local newspaper
and in a respectful “Card” advertises
the fact to all ' the world, leaving it for
his friends to gratify his entirely hon-
orable aspirations or not, as they choose.
How much more open, honest and man-
ly is such a course than the usual polit-
ical intrigueing carried on by those de-
siring public office, here at the North.
Under our system it is deemed indecor-
ous for a man to openly avow himself a
candidate and bravely work for his
own nomination. No one condemns
the customary course in vogue here, of
his getting active friends to work under
cover and by finesse and indirection se-
cure the prize he covets. We are there-
fore rejoiced to see the New Milford
Gazette coming up to this advanced
position in politics. In its yesterday’s
issue it puts forth ”An Open Request,”
signed by a score and more stalwart
Litchfield county Republicans, asking
the Hon. Henry Seymour Sanford, to
stand as a candidate for Congress in
this district this fall. Among other co-
gent arguments presented by these pe-

tioners are these: -

"There are plenty of numerous Republicans
of ability in the district to whom no objection
for a Congressman can be made.

. We think, however, without disparagement
to any, that for various reasons, Henry Sey-

mour Sanford, so well known as a lawyer for
many years in Bridgeport, would be peculiar-

. ly well equipped for the position,

He was born, raised and has’lived all his life
in this district, like his father, the late Judge
David C. Sanford of our Supreme Court, and
all his ancestors from the first settlement be-
fore him. . -

He was the first president of the first Re-
publican club of New' Milford and has ever
since worked and spoken for Republicanism
without office or seeking office. ,

His standing at the bar is well recognized
and his record without a stain. . He is in the
prime of manly health and vigor, and though 1

n

' soon as the nimblest.and 1
-ter, he does get there.”

I Just as Potent. .

V “Hon. E. J. Hill will positively go to Con-
gress if nominated,” said a. colOred member of
the Republican State League, "that is, if the
colored vote is needed to place him there.”

' And the vote of the hnmblest colored

voter is just as potent here at the free

Vanderbilt. But alas, how different it

is at the “sunny south."

A Friend’s Tribute.

The GAZETTE of. Thursday chronicled
the decease of one of the best citizens
of Norwalk, as well as one of the most
excellent of men._ No worthier name
adorns the pages of this ancient town’s
history than that of Samuel Burr Sher-
wood Bissell. . . .

Of good stock on his honored father s
side, and of undeniably distinguished
pedigree maternally, the life-story of
this descendant of an exemplary and
eminent ancestry, is a legacy not alone
to those of his own blood, but to his
surviving towns-people also, between
whom and himself there has long sub-
sisted a warm reciprocity ofI esteem
and affection. He was born in West-
port, Conn., in 1812, and coming, in his
tender years to Norwalk With Ih1s~pa-
rents, resided with them, until their
own dwelling was erected, in the
John Betts, at present the George
R. Cowles house on the Church Green.
During the family’s temporaIryIten-
antcy of the Betts home,_an incident
befell which as an illustration, me 8111-
gle direction, of the youth’s odmirable
training and of the parental influences
which so wisely moulded his childhood,
is of pardOnable narrfiiont It was har-
vesttide, and in Judge -Bissell’s door-
yard stood a fruit tree, from one of the
upper branches of which hung a tempt-
ingl y luscious pear. The pear was ripe,
and having climbed the tree to secure,
it possible, the toolhsomIe prize, the
lad, after considerable pains, was suc-
cessful, and descending brought the
golden lobe proudly, 1n the chance
presence of his father. to the ground,
and just at the moment in which a
neighbor’s little daughter, (now in her
venerable age one of the most cherished
ladies in Norwalk,) was tripping along
the front sidewalk. “Samuel,”_ said
the parent instantly and instructiveIly,

“pass the pear to Elizabeth,” which
was at once gallantly done.

The son was carefully brought up,
and the purest principles of motive and
of action implanted, not alone by a
judicious father, but by a saintly and
superior mother. His rudimentary
education was mainly accomplished at
home, and after studying further at
Rev. William Bonny’s well-known New
Canaan school, he continued his college
preparation with one of Dr. Reuben
Sherwood’s precentors, in the Jarvis
house, corner of Newtown avenue and
the Connecticut turnpike. He entered
Yale College under President Day, and
graduated in the class of 1830, havmg
had for college associates, among
others, the Rhetts of South Carolina,
the Winthrops of New York and New
Haven, and the Van Renssalaers, of
patroon fame.- He has ever remained
true to alma mater, and proven one of.
her most valued offspring. .

After graduation, and prevrous to his
entrance upon his ministerial career,
he read law for a brief period in the
ofiice of his father, his transient stu-
dent-companion being Melancthon
Hoyt, afterwards the Protestant Epis-
copal missionary pioneer'and Dean in
the great north-west. The two rising
professional candidates met upon the
arena as counsel and opposing counsel,
in a public room in the Whitlock Inn,
which of yore occupiedIthe site of the
existing Boston Store, in Main street,
It was their maiden case, and both
were earnest, eloquent and expectant.
The Court weighed the arguments, and
Mr. Bissell won. In 1831 he entered
the Princeton Theological Seminary,
and subsequent to his ordination to the
ministry, became, by a singularly fe-
licitous coincidence, a co—worker with
one of his fondest college mates and
friends, Rev. Courtlandt Van Renssa-
laer, D.D., in a grandly charitable mis-
sion in the state of Virginia. Here the
two cultivated and devoted men, be-
tween the noble characters of whom it
would be difficult to differentiate, la-
bored with unselfish zeal. From Vir-
ginia Mr. Bissell was called to the Com
gregational pastorate of Greenwich,

onn., where for eleven years he was
highly appreciated and beloved. After
this he rounded out an exceptionally
industrious and useful life in the office
of the General Sunday School Union
in the city of New York. Here he was
of :invaluable service, and fully filled
the important position to which he was
assigned. He was possessed of fine
talents,'his influence has been inealcu-
lably beneficial, and he has left help-
ful, grateful foot-prints behind him.
While loyal to the core to his own con-
victions, yet was he fired with a large,
magnanimous and catholic spirit. In
the South he was intimate with Bishop
Meade, and here in the North, during
Dr. Mead’s neighboring incumbency,
the regard each for the other, on the
parts of the Presbyterian pastor and the
St. Paul’s rector, was a delightful pic-
ture. His own home, like the home in
which he was reared, has been one
which intellectual, refined and pious
converse have diversified, down to its
very ending, a consecrated life, the

 

 

 

the memory of which happy hearth-
stone and of the beautiful peace of his
last days within it, will linger for many
a year to come. The sense of the loss
which has been sustained in the decease
ofIthis venerated man is universal in
this old community, the members of
which lay their laurel Chaplet, with
some reprocththereon inscribed, beside
his casket, while they most respectfully
extend their very sincere sympathy to

A Burma-Maid a Visit to Isidore

B. Wilmot, a SOUtllINOl’WEllk
Tailor, Last nght.

Hls Watch and Money Gone.

 

Semis time during last night aI. burglar
entered the residence of Isidore AB.
Wilmot, the tailor, No. 26 Havrland
street, South Norwalk, and succeeded
in getting away with two vests andItwo
pair of pants belonging to the tailor,
besides about $20 in' money and a gold
filled watch. Entrance was gained-by
placing a ladder against the dining
room window which is on‘the first floor
and about five feet from the ground,
and as that was unlocked it was an easy
matter to push up the sash and step
into the room. The thief eVidently
made direct. for Mr. and Mrs. Wilmot’s
sleeping. room, which is on the next
floor, for nothing about the lower part
of the house was at all disturbed. Here
he appropriated the two vests and two
pairs of pants which were hanging on a
chair, and made an exit from theroom.
After he reached the yard he must have
made an examination of the clothing
for this morning the two vest and one
pair of pants were found in the yard of
Mr. George S. Trowbridge who resides
next door. The gold watch had been
taken from the vest, however, before it
was thrown away, and the pair of pants
which contained the $20 went along
with the watch. It is thought that the
robbery occurred about midnight, for
Mrs. Platt, who resides on Elizabeth
street, and the rear of whose house is
directly back of Wilmot’s, says she
heard a noise at 12 o’clock as if a man
had stepped or fallen upon Iher front
stoop. She listened a few minutes and
heard somebody go around to the rear
of her house, and as she did not hear
them again she concluded that whOever
it was had jumped the fence and gone
through Mr. Wilmot’s yard and out into
Haviland street. The amusing part of
the robbery is that Mr. WilmotI is the
owner of a pointer dog which in the
day time is unusually ferocious Iand
noisy, but which last night was chained
in the cellar of the house and slept
soundly and peacefully through the en-
tire affair, even more so than did his
master. .

Counterfelters In Jall.

The Bethel counterfeiters, R. D.
Hoyt of Danbury and Charles , W.
Miller, alias James W. Murphy, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., who were given a
hearing before United States Commis-
sioner Alexander in New York, are
now in the county jail in New _Haven.
The were taken there Friday night on
the 7 o’clock train from New London
in charge of United States Marshal
Morris, of New London.

Commissioner Wright yesterday
afternoon received word from New
York that the counterfeiters would be
brought into Connecticut and, accord-
ing to instructions, he wrote out war-
rants and had them in readiness for
the commitment of the United States
prisoners upon'lheir arrival.

It was not necessary to hold a pre-
liminary or subsequent hearing before
the United States commissioner'in this
state, as probable cause for binding
over had been found before the New
York commissioner and the two men
were under $10,000 bonds each when
they emerged from the Ludlow street
jail yesterday afternoon. .

They had been unable to obtain a
bond security and will remain in jail
until Judge Townsend returns from
Colorado about the middle of Septem-
ber, when he will hold a session of the
United States court.

The reason why the counterfeiters
were first taken to New London before
taking them to New Haven is because
United States Marshal Morris lives in
that town. There are no accOmmoda-
tions for such distinguished prisoners
in the city by the sea and Marsh a1 Mor-
ris decided to take them toNew Haven.

Upon being taken to the jail they
were given separate cells.

Four New York United States mar-
shall accompanied them and after the
commitment papers were made out,
they lelt for the metropolis, leaving in
their native state the clever Nutmeg-
gers.

It is said that an effort is being made
by R. B. Hoyt’s friends to obtain $10,-
000 bail for him.

 

 

 

' Save the Water.

So imminent is the danger of a water
famine here that people wonder why
the street watering carts are not re-
quired to get their supplies from the
river and harbor. Most city water con-
sumers have cheerfully complied with
the Commissioners’ request not to
waste or use water for the present lawn
sprinkling purposes, but there are oth-
ers we regret to say, who still violate
this necessary injunction.

In another place in to-day’s GAZETTE

ly attended this afternoon, and whose
mortal remains are to be sepulchered
with his departed kindred in Union
Cemetery, this evening.

Dead In Brooklyn-.

James B. Davenpirt, the father of
John I. Davenport, ex—United States
supervisor of elections, died in_ the
Long Island college heapita‘l Friday
The dead man went to New YOrk from
his home in New Canaan, last week to
transact some business. While walking
in the streetin Brooklyn he was run in-
to by a vehicle and knocked down."
Mr. DaVenport sustained a fracture

bulance to the hospital. While there,
pneumonia set in and it was this which
the doctors say caused his death. Mr.

affairs. He was one of a committee
from various churches which organized
Plymouth Church before Henry Ward
Beecher became its pastor, and he was
oneIof the earliest members of the

during Mr. Beecher’s pastorate and held
other church oflices. He was inter.
ested in genealogical sudjects, and pub-'
[ished a “History of the Davenport
Family.” He was a member of several
genealogical and historical societies, as
well as of societies for missionary and
other religious objects. The surviving
children are John I. Davenport, Albert
B. Davenport of Danbury, Henry B.
Davenport, a laWyer of Brooklyn;
James P. Davenport, a deputy clerk of
the Court of General Sessions of N .Y
William E. Davenport, who is con-
nected with the New York" Post Office;
Dr. Charles B. Davenport, a Harvard
College professor; Mrs. Charles H.
Crandall, and Miss Frances G. Daven-
port. He used to be a frequent visitor
to Norwalk and was well and favorably
known by many of our people.

Couldn’t Fool “Bill.”

A young lady nearly knocked “Bill”
Mitchell 011' from his feet, at Wardwell’s
market, this morning, by asking for two
pounds of home-made cutlets. Glanc-
ing at the lady he recognized her as a
person visiting here from Chicago, and
going to the ice-box he took down a
quarter of veal and sliced off the quan-
tity asked for. After theIpurchaser
went out he said to Wardwell, “I knew
she wanted Chicago outlets the moment
I recognized where she was from. You
can’t fool your Uncle Bill very much.”
It afterward ‘transpired that the veal
was raised here in N orwalk, and “Bill”
was that mad he expressed himself as
wishing that he had given her porklchops
of; “Chicago escutcheons,” as he; calls

an acre IRON-TONE is an idealsummer drink. Served at foun-

tains with soda. it is incomparable.

It must be remembered that the

average summer drink is just so much syrup and water, having no-
medicmal properties, and which only serves to provoke instead of to

assuage thirst.

But MAGIC IRON -TON E not only quenches thirst,

it gratifies the longing fdr “something that will go to the spo ;”

it sparkles and bubbles along the

palate and the throat; it gratifies

the parched stomach and immediately clears the films from the brain.
It dispels the despondent, depressed feeling inseparable from weari-
ness and overwork; it lightens the load the system seems to be
carrying, causes the eye to flash, the mind to spring into activity, and
the: nerves and muscles to jump from a flaccid to an elastic condition.
