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.” indent. says: , Populist. L P. A. nor Anarchist.

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 north, as that of a Gould, an Astor or Vanderbilt. But alas, how different it is at the “sunny south." 0 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 ,ayjs: gets there as? his afllicted family, . as... are: _ e ». r 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. -—-———-d*->-——-‘ .

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 of his thigh and removed in an am- bulance to the hospital. While there, pneumonia set in and it was this which the doctors say caused his death. Mr. Davenport was prominent in church 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 church. .He was several times a deacon 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 em.

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. ...,..;,,-. .. _ . and...“ a = ‘, ' directions, and served 'x'lf.’ I And prepared withlcss‘troublel "-.'.-' _ flaw- Mime mas-Tour rumor r.
