Defence of Christian Charity.
“Oh, the rarity of Christi , harity.”
The New York Sun thus rebu es what
every one knows to be an injustice:
“The self-sacrificing Catholic Sisters
who collect aims for charitable uses,
ought not to be spoken of disrespect-
. fully by our Baptist contemporary, the
Christian Inquirer. It is a shame to
call them beggars. Theyare no more
beggars than are those Baptist minis-
ters who solicit money or take up col-
lections for their own support.
Through the humble labors of these
pious and worthy women, hospitals are
supported, suffering is alleviated. child-
ren are educated, and the helpless poor
are comforted. Not for themselves do
they ask aims, but for the ‘afi‘iicted, in
whose service they spend their blessed
lives. They give to many people the
opportunity to make small contribu-
tions which they would not otherwise
have the oppOrtunity of making. They
touch the heart where other means of
These meek
Sisters give lessons in charity and de~
votion which strike the innermost
chords of the soul. Their benignant
presence is ever welcome in thousands
. of the business places and households
of the city. All honor be to these good
and grand women, the merits of Whom
are known in heaven.”
New'York Harmony.
Senator Hill has a terrible amount of
harmonizing to do before he can tell
just where he is at as a candidate. The
trouble he had in the Senate was a trifle
compared with the disharmony that
takes in all New York city and Brook-
lyn..
The anti-Tammany Democrats in
New .York would be glad to beat Hill,
but-they care more at this time to re-
form the city government, while the
city government, is just the thing for
which Tammany cares the most.
Hill would no doubt be willing to let
the State Democracy print their local
candidates with the regular State ticket
if they would be Satisfied with that.
Unless they are allowed to do so they
threaten to run a candidate against
him. The Tammany workers kick at
any recognition of the kickers, and
Hill does not yet see his way clear to
harmony:

American Apples in Europe.
London fruit dealers have been look-
ing over the apple crop, and have de-
cided that there is a fine market 'for
American apples this year. The Eng-
lish cr0p is ,the smallest for twenty
years, and pricesare high. The Nova
Scotian crop will reach a total of 120,-
000 barrels and the Canadian. crop
about 600,000 barrels. It is expected
that Boston willbe able to ship between
300,000 and 400,000 barrels, and New
York about 1,500,000 barrels. London
wants American apples. The first con.
signment sold there Monday brought
from 17s. to 205. per barrel. Freights
are lower than they have been for years
and carriage can probably be secured
at 2s. per barrel.

‘ The tax payers of Norwalk will cer‘
tainly;insist that its treasury is not
again robbed of another $500 for seven
day’s alleged service of a teacher,
never employed. Yes, “let us wait
with patience and see whether they
have improved, and how much.”

A Runaway. ‘ ‘ .
Harry C. Brewer drove to the fair
grounds,‘jMogday afternoon, and gave
his trotieig ,fiw‘spin around the track-
Later he hitched him-and when ready
to go home unhitched him and as he was
about to get into the carriage the horse
started and ran. To save himself Harry
let go his hold on the lines. The horse
continuedghis mad flight until he reach-
ed the gate at the grounds,‘where the
carriage collided with the fence and
the‘ horse freeing himself from the
vehicle ran to his stable on Ne'wtown
avenue. The carriage for which Mr.
Brewer had. recently paid $225 was
wrecked. ‘

The Colonel William H.‘ gSteve'nscn,
Hoyt’s Opera House last evening. The
band which is composed 'of 38 pieces,
‘ showed up in great form and without
doubt surpasses all others in the state.
In comparison with the famous bands
of Sousa, Reeves and Gilmore that have
performed in Norwalk, Col. Steven-
son’s band ranks among them.
small audience was present ow1ng,. no
doubt. to the many other attractions
booked for last night. but every one of
those present were delighted with the
accuracy and precision With which the
several selections were rendered. Col.
Stevenson in his white broadcloth uni-
form, makes a commanding appear-
ance, and as he waves the baton‘is
grace itself. .
The Verdi Ladies’ quartette .which
accompanies the band is a pleasing ac-
uisition, and their songs delighted
their hearers. The soles of Miss God-
bold and Miss Van Dyne were doubly
eneored, and the audience was greatly
disappointed when it failed to induce
Miss Godbold to delight her hearers
with another selection after her deep,
rich contralto voice had answered two
encores.

A Cup for Each One.
The individual communion service
which has been advocated in many of
the larger churches of the country,
was introduced Sunday at the First M.
E. church, Bridgeport, at their regu-
lar communion. _
The individual service was first in-
troduced at Rochester, N. Y For
many years the custom of having all
communicants drink from one cup has
prevailed and of late years much com-
ment has been made upon it“ .
Medical scientists have discussed it
from a sanitary point of view and de-
clared it to be dangerous to health.
The question has also been discussed in
conferences and finally the Rochester
church adopted it. _
The new service of the First Metho-
dist church is a handsome one. Each
communicant has a dainty little silver
cup, Iserved on a silver tray. The ser-
vice created much favorable comment
and it may be adopted in other Bridge-
port churches now that its success is
assured.
O
Personally Conducted Tours.
The success of the two regular tours
to the South via the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company’s lines has led that com-
pany to arrange for another personally
conducted tour from New York and
Philadelphia, on October 16, including
Gettysburg, Blue Ridge, Luray, Basic,
Natural Bridge. Grottoes of the Shen-
andoah, Richmond and Washington.
The members of the party will travel
in special trains of parlor care provided
exclusively for their use. The entire
round trip covers a period of nine days,
and excursion tickets, including all
necessary expenses during that time,
will be sold from New York at $55 and
Philadelphia $53.

Dead Body Found.
The dead body of a man very much
decomposed was found 011' the beach in
Fairfield, Monday. No clue to the
man’s identity has yet been found,
but it is thought that he was a hand on
an oyster boat ‘and fell overboard with-
out attracting the attention of his com-
panions. Tne remains were those ofa
man about 5 feet 7 inches tall, bald and
wearing a grey mustache. The theory
that he was a sailor is advanced by the
fact that there were no shoes or stock-
ings on his feet. The dead man was
evidently between 40 and 45 years old.

A Cure for Group.
The following receipt is handed the
GAZETTE with the assurance that it is a
sure cure for any ordinary case of
croup. It is certainly worth trying:
One teaspoonfull of glycerine, one tea-
spoonful of turpentine, mix with four
tablespoonfuis of Water and give one
teaspoonful of the mixture every fif~
teen minutes until relie ved. Afterward
ateaspoonful every two hours until
cured. Always stir the mixture thor-
oughly before administering ‘and rub
the throat well with turpentine.

A Notable Recital.
One of the most notable musical
treats of the entire year, is to be given
by Mr. Edward Baxter Perry, better
known» perhaps as “The Blind Pianist,”
upon the ,Eiano, on Friday evening
of this wee , at Mrs. Mead’s Hillside
Institute. This artist’s skill as a pian.
ist is unsurpassed and considering his
visual disability, isreally marvelous.
His running comments on the selections
he plays are models of classic beauty
and gems of brillant thought.

Lleut. Henry} H."Pierce Commits
Suicide While Under the "
Influence of Liquor.
Sad End of a Brave Soldier.
Henry H. Pierce died at the Norwalk
Hospital, Monday evening, "and his
body now lies at the morgue in Bay»
mond’s undertaking establishment.
. Pierce owned a place on. the Fort
Point road, which be leased to Mr.
Charles Walters, he himself occup ing
aportion of the house. He has een‘
intoxicated for a week or more, butre-
mained at home, the liquor being
brought to him by a friend. He was
in the habit of having periodical sprees
and nothing unusual was thought of the
present one. ,
Sunday afternoon, between 2 and 3
o'clock, he called Mrs. Walters into his
apartments and told her he had taken
a dose of Paris green and was sure
that it would kill him. She at first
was not inclined to believe him, but
room, and told him what Pierce had
done, and at the same time sent him
after a doctor.
The poison be swallowed was part of
a quantity he had procured for extera
minating potato bugs in his garden.
The physician did not arrive until
about ’7 o’clock in the evening. He
prescribed for the patient, who in the
meantime had ejected a quantity of the
pmson out of his mouth, and ordered
that he be sent to the hospital.
For some reason or other the ambu-
lance did not put in an appearance until
about 4 o’clock Monday afternoon.
Pierce was very weak but not able to
walk out to the ambulance, and he was
taken to the hospital at which institu-
tion he died about 7 o’clock. ,
Mrs. Walters said that he had not
eaten scarcely anything for over a
week. His stomach was in a bad con-
dition from an overindulgence from in-
tox1cants which was the primary cause
Paris green he had swallowed.
Pierce’s wife died a little over a year.
ago, since which time he has cooked
such meals as he ate. He made- a will
last summer which was witnessedby
neighbors and in which he bequeathed
all of his belongings to his brother who
lives at Shelburne Falls, Mass... and
and who has been advised of his death.
Pierce was a native of Vermont; was
a sister by trade, and came to Norwalk
soon after the closeof the war and
worked for builder J. R. Raymond.
He received a back war pension some
years ago and a pension of $24 a month
since which time he has done no work.
He was a familiar figure on the street,
being compelled latterly to use two
eanes when walking. ’
He enlisted in Co. ‘0, 7th C. V., at
Meriden, Sept. 6th, 1861, and while In
the service was promoted to a Second
Lieutenancy. He was captured by
the rebels in 1864, and in trying to make
his escape from. “Camp Sorghum” at
Columbia, S. 0., received gunshot
wounds in both is s. He was later pa-
roled and finally ischarged from the
service Jan. 6th, 1865.
Clung to His Boat.
Edward Lace and William Lyle, the
Penfieid Reef Saturday morning. ar-
rived in Bridgeport, Monday, little the
worse for their mishap.
Says the Union: Lyle is an East
Norwalk man. He was almost in tears
over the loss of the boat which he
owned. The name of the boat was
Jennie W., a staunch craft, about 40
feet long and a good sailer, Lyle said,
as well as being all the property he
owned in the world.
The accident occurred early in the
morning.’ Both men clung to the cap-
sized boat and drifted around with her.
They had no small boat and no way of
righting the Jennie W. When they
had been in the water about two hours
a boat New York bound hailed them.
Lace went aboard. Lyle asked the
captain to take the Jennie in tow. He
would not do so. A strong‘sense of
what his poverty would be if he lost
his vessel, made Lyle refuse to aban-
don her.
He says that when he made his de-
termination known the captain replied:
“Then stay there and drown, damn
on.’
“All right,” said Lyle, “I’ll save the
boat or go to the bottom.” .
.Repentance came to‘ him about two
hours later. ' ' ‘ -
It was dreary work clinging to th
drifting sailboat and the water was
very chilly. The solitude began to
tell on Lyle and he began to have vis~
ions of drowned men with streaming
hair and Wide open staring eyes as he
had seen them dragged out of the har-
bor several times. The combination
shook his resolution and floored him so
that he gladly seized the opportunity
to get aboard a small boat bound for
New Haven and again stand on 'terra
firma in the Elm City. The Jennie W.
went to the bottom of the Sound.
Butterlne.
.The Connecticut agents of Armour’s
high grade Butterine, have arranged an
exhibiton at Nickerson &. Betts’ of
their really superior substitute for but-
ter. Hotels and restaurants of the best
class are now using it in enormous
quantities. One of the leading hotels
in Washington has supplied it to its
patrons foralong time and the most
fastidious of them prefer it to the ordi-
nary butter procurable at the average
store. The writer has sampled it thor-
oughly and speaks from experience
thus favorably of the much maligned
but truly meritorious Butterine.

the building amounting to $257,760, but

it was ordered that all. less or damage
should be adjusted by thflecretary of the,
interior. Stout, Hall & Bangs claimed a
loss of $256,334 and filed a petition with
