Maine’s Great Men.
Maine has produced men of aston-
ishing vigor and longevity, but none
more notable in this way; han Dr.
Westbrook Farrer of Biddeford, if the
stories told of him are true. He is
said to be a physician in active prac-
tice, though ninety-eight years old,
and, still more remarkable, to be in
the habit of visiting his patients regu-
larly on a bicycle. He attributes his
exceptional vigor at this advanced age
to the use of Wintergreen tea, of which
he is said to be an ardent advocate.
But the names of Fessenden, Wash-
burn, Hamlin, Blaine, Reed, Frye and
Hale will give the Pine Tree state her
Good Government Wanted.
The people this fall are in various
ways clearly indicating that they desire
not the triumph of this man or of that
man, of one political party or another
party, so much as they desire good gov-
ernment and clean politics.
The present issue in politics is not
personal nor partisan, but patriotic.
PeOplo do not care whether this man’s
ambition is gratified or not, or whether
that party is triumphant or defeated.
What they do want is good govern-
ment. They want an honest and capa-
ble Executive, intelligent, able and use-
ful Legislators and stainless Justices.
They want men in these places who will
administer their trusts in the interest
not of self, nor of party, but of the
whole people. Give them that, and
they will be satisfied, no matter what
the name of the man or of the party.
Deny them that, and no leader’s name
or party Watchwords can atone for their
sense of wrong. Good government is
the issue, and the only issue and protcc.
tion to American Industries and Amer-
ican working men, is the one over-
shadowing duty and interest of all pa-
triotic American citizens, in the elec.
tion to be held two weeks from today.

Electric and Steam Rivalry-
Electrimty is competing with steam
in the transportation business with so
much success that the profits of steam
railroads in many localities are serious-
ly reduced and the value Of their stocks
correspondingly impaired. Trolley
lines can be easily and cheaply con-
structed, and the expense of operating
them is-comparatively small. Here in
New England, where the population is
dense, and cities, towns and villages
are separated by only short distances,
trolly lines have been extended in all
directions, often paralleling steam rail-
way lines.
The Boston Herald recently address-
-ed a circular letter to a number of the
managers of steam roadsin order to
ascertain their views as to the future of
electric railroading. Most of them are
Confident that for long distances steam
has nothing to fear from its rival, but
for shorter distances the trolley is ad-
mitted to be a formidable and damag-
ing competitor. Mr. J. T. Odell, vice
president of the New York and New
England Railroad Company, believes
that “between two large cities, say
where the distance apart is about forty
or fifty miles, it is not improbable that
electricty will be used.” But he “doubts-
if any one living will see electricty
substituted for steam to any greatef‘ ex-
tent.”
For wel’-known reasons the trolley
is not desirable in the streets of cities
or populous towns, but it is admirably
adapted to the suburbs and for connect-
ing towns and villages. Hundreds of
trolley lines are in successful operation
where the business would not justify a
more expensive means of rapid transit.
They add largely to the enjoyment of
rural life and to the value of rural
property. We have two first-class trol-
ley roads running here in Norwalk
and both of them have aided material-
ly in the development of our beautiful
suburbs, and they afford a cheap, swift,
and pleasant means Of transportation.
Alarge portion Of their income comes
from pleasure seekers.

Both Vehicles Smashed.
Henry T. Prowitt and LeGrand Ray'
mond started to drive to New Canaan
last evening to call on a friend. ' When
near Martin Troy’s place on the New
Canaan road Charles St. John, a car-
penter, came along in a carriage and
somehow both turnouts came in collision
and the Norwalk team~ was hurled to
one side and down a small embarkment.
Neither of the occupants of the car-
riages were thrown out nor did the
horses run. The hind wheels of Prow—
itt’s carriage were wrecked and one of
the forward wheels of St. John’s vecicle
smashed. The NorWulk gentlemen se-
cured another wagop and returned

O
The Twelfth Regiment.
The twenty-seventh annual reunion
of the Twelfth regiment, Connecticut
Volunteers, was held at Grand Army
hall, Hartford, on Monday, with about
one hundred veterans present.
,gci‘ty assembled in the
' to have a new steamer.
a
_ Clty Meeting-r.- .
. About fifty of the legal voters of this
Town House,
Monday afternoon for the following
purposes : ‘ ‘
1. To take such action as said meeting may
deem advisable, in the matter of repairing the
steam fire engine. belonging to the City; and
» 2. To make the necessary appropriation Of
money to pay for such repairs.
The meeting room was in a filthy con-
dition and was a disgrace to the town.
The floor was covered with tobacco
quids, cigar stumps, torn paper, etc. etc.
and the benches were heavily uphol-
stered with dust, and this condition, all
because one of the selectmen objected
to the expenditure of twenty-five cents
to have it cleaned out.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Keeler, and the call was read
by City Clerk Lockwood.
Chief Prowitt was the first speaker.
He said that when he called the atten-
tion of the board of councilmen to the
condition of the steamer, he wanted to
emphasize his Opinion that it would be
wisest to purchase a new engine rather
than have the Old one repaired, but that
as the times were hard and money
scarce, he had some misgivings about
getting one and so gave way to the
lesser. expenditure of having the old
steamer repaired. Since that time he
had got his courage up to where it
ought to have been at the meeting of
' the Council, and was of the decided be-
lief that it would be more economical
He called at-
tention to the need Of a steamer at the
recent fire at Prof. Harstom’s school,
and the uselessness of the attempt to
get water on the fire in any other way.
This was a condition of things in respect
to all property on the hills about the
city. He rather surprised some Of
those present. with the statement that
the water pipe on the hill was nearly
half filled with dirt, and, incidentally
mentioned the weakness Of water pipes
in different parts of the city. He stated
that a new steamer could be purchased
for $3,600 $3,800 or $4,000, according to
the grade, and $600 would be allowed
for the Old steamer. He remarked that
there was a number of firemen present
but that they did not come to press an
issue of the matter. They had the
interest of the city at heart and would
vote to that end. They knew the needs
of the department. He regretted that
the call for the meeting permitted of
no action other than a vote for or
against the repair of the steamer.
Isaac Selleck asked if 2,009 or 3,000
feet of hose ought not to be purchased.
He said he thought a great deal Of the
firemen, but these were hard times and
it was best to go slow. He was is favor
of giving the firemen the necessary ap-
paratus to battle with fire.
A. H. Byington then took the floor.
He called attention to the fact that
South Norwalk was throwing out _all
their Old fire apparatus and purchasing
new and improved ones. After a fifty
years experience with printing machin-
ery he had found that it was money
poorly invested to repair the same.
l‘his was also true of an Old wagon, etc.
etc, Times were hard, and taxes were
heavy, but property was at the mercy
of scoundrels who would not hesitate to
set fire to it. The firemen worked hard
at all times, in hot or cold weather,
storm Or sunshine, and at all hours
were in readiness to save property from
destruction by fire, and this too with-
out one cent of renumeration, asking
and receiving nothing but the gratitude
of the public. They were not only do-
serving of all praise but also Of all the
apparatus necessary for them to combat
with the fire fiend. We might not need
the steamer once in ten years, but when
we did need it we wanted it very .much.
He said he was emphatically in favor of
purchasing a new steamer rather than
having the old one repaired. As the
call for the meeting had been so _con-
structed that it would not permit of
action being taken on the purchase of
a new steamer, he moved that another
meeting be called for the purpose of
taking action on the purchase of a new
steamer, or having the old one repaired
and appropriating the sum necessary
for carying into effect such vote. This
motion prevailed.
Mayor Keeler in order to set the
Council right in the matter of the pre-
vious call, said that at the time the fire
committee had been asked to make a
recommendation for the purchase of a
new steamer or the repair Of the old
one, but that the committee had de-
cided to recommend only the latter.
The meeting then adjourned.
Mayor Keeler has decided to call the
meeting for next Monday afternoon.

Went Back Convlnced.
After some two or three months ex-
amination of the best means and meth-
ods, the Selectmen of the Town of
Fairfield have just come to an agree-
ment with the Bridgeport Traction
Company, concerning the extension of
its railway through that town, and as
appears from the following clipping
from “The Chronicle" of the 18th inst,
they have followed the example of
NOrwalk in preferring the unadulter-
ated macadam pavement. They were
at first favorably impressed with the
sound of blocks along the rails, but
after a t here and an examination of
the two kinds of pavement on West
avenue, they went back convinced that
macadam was good enough for them:
“The selectmen have done well in ordering
macadam pavement. Norwalk has it and likes
it: South Norwalk insisted on granite blocks
and got them. but finds them far from satis-
factory and would be glad to exchange them
for macadam if she could.”

Saturday afternoon Eugene Park-
hurst, a 15-year-old yotith, and two
Companions about the same age, were

closing-up by the police of thc’Bublic Stock
and Produce Exchanges, a discretionary
pool concern, brought great crowds of
investors from the country into town.
Their presence reveals how widespread
had been the operations of these concerns
and fully confirms the previously publish-
ed estimate of the numbarpf persons who
had invested money in these schemes.
The Delaneys. who operate apubllo stock
and produce exchange. secured their re-
leasc on bail for a bearing. At the office
toda they announced to their clients that
as thyelr books were in the hands of the po«
lice they would be unable to pay out
money or transact any business except to
receive notices of withdrawal of deposits.
All the discretionary pools have a clause
lnthelr agreements by which they can in-
sist upon a 80 days’ notice of withdrawal
at the option of the managers.
The Consolidated Stock and Produce
not open its doors this morning. Hun
dreds of investors who went to the office
to withdraw their deposits were confront-
ed with a notice that the concern had sus-
pended temporarily. Washington Force,
appeared able to give any information as
to his present whereabouts.
Other pools are expected to suspend at
any moment, and excitement among the
investors is running high. By the books
of the Delaneys it is shown that over half
of the investors were women, most of
them domestics and washerwomen, who
fancied they had found on easy road to
wealth and who placed all their little sav-
ings in these concerns. Another class-of
investors who will suffer severely is com-
posed of' men who were thrown out of
Work by the late financial depression, and
who, with their families, were living up-
on the money saved in more prosperous
times. They thought by investing in
these pools that they could llve upon the
dividends and thus keep their little capi-
tal intact. Many of those find themselves
at the approach of \vintrr without 3 doi-
lar.

in those serviceable cloth gowns which are
intended for informal out of dpor Wear,
whose charm lies in their neatness rather
than in their color. Entire black gowns
are rendered bright by chlfions of rainbow
hues, cherry, bluet and straw being the
favorite shades for these filmy ruffles that
so becomingly festoon the bodice. Cre e

honors of corsoge trimming.
Last winter every Woman felt it neces-
sary to possess a black moire skirt, which
she wore with different bodices and coats.
This season the separate skirt is quite as
necessary, but it is made of brocade in-
stead Of moire.
A great many checks and plaids are
seen in goods particularly suited for chil-
dren’s wear. These look best when com-
blned with plain goods matching the pre-
vailing color of the check. Recent impor-
tations show shepherd’s plaids in red, blue
or green with black.
Twilled woolen goods with a change-
able effect are displayed among other sea~
sonable materials, and, although not par-
ticularly new, they are attractive.
An illustration is given of a rcdingote
gown of pompadour brocade. The skirt is
trimmed with a wide fiounce, and the revu
ers and flaring puffs are covered with an
applique of guipure. An immense cravat
of the brocade is tied at the throat, and the
ends,“ which fall nearly to the bottom of
the skirt, are finished with a flounoe and
guipure vandykes. J UDIO CHOLL‘ET.
A GOOD COM PLEXlON.
If You Want It, You Must Observe cer-
tain Rules.
Although one may not be ready to ac-
cept the dictum of the modern aesthetics
that ugliness does not exist, and that ev-
erything possesses beauty for him who
knows how to discern it, no one can deny
that beauty of person, like almost every-
thing else, may. be developed by careful
training. No one Who has agood complex»
ion and a good figure, including a grace-
ful carriage, can be otherwise than good
looking. For the firsthealth and cleanli-
ness are requisite. Adaily sponge bath is
one of the greatest beautlflers in the world.

it should be always carefully washed off at
night, as it clogs the pores of the skin.
Egyptologlsts tell us that the Egyptian
princesses owed the smoothness of their
skins to a preparation much like the glyc-
erin and rosewater of our day. Regular
exercise in the Open air is another great
point. English women of the upper class'
think nothing of a five mile tramp in any
weather and come in fresh as daisies after
it. The diet also should be regulated.
Pastry, cake and rich food Of all sorts tell
unfavogably upon the complexion.

ever, bear the juxtaposition of every color,

an Duct-"r.
CHATTANOOGA. Oct. 23.—There was
buried in tho pnupers’ burying ground of
this city last Friday a woman of evident
refinement, culture and education and
still beautiful. Convincing evidence has
been obtained that she was poisoned,
probably by her own hand.
The remains were brought iii a rough
box and hurried under ground. while the
coroner knew nothing of the suspicious
facts.
Examination today revealed the fact
that she was a physician of Stockholm
character and ability from some of the
most eminent doctors in America, includ-
ing Dr. J. West Roosvclt and Charles Gil-
maii Smith of Chicago. In one trunk were
found laces, silks, fancy work. photo-
graphs of herself and others and a lot of
handbllls advertising herself as a Swedish
massage operator, with an office at 334
Fifth avenue, New York. A certified copy
of a divorce obtained from J Oseph Marina
in the superior court of Cook county, 1113.,
was also fOund under date Sept. 27, 1886;
likewise a. purse with $10.27 in money.
She came to Chattanooga a month ago.

TOLEDO, Oct. 23.—Miss Annie London-

Sept. 24 with only 3 cents in her purse to
rived here just 27 days out. Her trip so
far has been without incident. She had
not intended to touch at this point, but
the bad roads compelled her to take a more
northerly route than the one she had
mapped out.
Miss Londondcrry expects to reach New
York in time to take a steamer on Nov.
15 for France. Her calculations are that
she will arrive in San Francisco from the
orient about the middle of next May.
John W. Noble and Arthur Barnes, 10-
cal wheelmen, will leave on next Wednes~
day morning to wheel around the world,
going from here to San Francisco, thence
into South America, Australia, Alia and
Europe. embarking for America at Cork.
They will take nothing with them ex-
cept their wheels and the clothes they
wear, and they expect to complete the
trip by the let of May next.
