IThe Duty of a Citizen. ’
Of all the able, liberal, instructivex
and christiauizing sermons, appearing
in the New York Sunday Herald, none"
have been more timely, and patrioti-
cally ennobling than the last one from
which we append the text and a few
salient—points :
Woe unto them that call evil good, .
o ' - that ut darkness for
.l‘iglltfgild fillli for darkness; that put
bliter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!—
Isaiah, v., 20. . ~ ‘ ’ _
“Communal orthodoxy consrsts 1n
careful guardianship of the general
' good, and communal heresy consists of
evading your public duty and allowmg
these who put-bitter for sweet to rule
in your stead. There is as much relig-
ion in patriotism as there is in prayer.
God demands of each unit in the sum
total that it shall do whan it can to keep
the morale of the city clean and curb
the ferocity of vice and'crime. There
are two questions which you must. an-
swer when you reach the Throne. The
first is,What have you done with-wand
for your individual self? and the second
is, What have you done to benfit‘your
fellow men .?
We are on the verge of an election
in which the largest‘interests are in-
volved. To cast your ballot, thereby
doing wnat you can to sharpen the mor-
al perception of the community, to
throw your influence against evil and
in favor of truth, of justice and of pub-
lic honor—that is surely the most im-
pressive act which any American can
perform. The votes of its citizens
make .the country great or " small.
strengthen or weaken the government
under-which welive. We are all kings,
exercising a kingly prerogative, . and
declaring by the pronunciamentoof a
ballot that we believe in God and-hon~
est government. To evade that :duty
is a crime,hand treachery to the sacri-
fices of our fathers and ‘to the. inher-
itance of our children. ' _
The condemnation of woe {which the
prophet pronounced in ourte’xt is not
simply the woe which iwill follow and
capture the men who use public , ,Office
for private gain, but also the . man, the
K citizens, who ‘by their neglect of duty
have fostered corruption by not check-
ing it. . ~.
In a single word,~let us say that an
electionis as truly a. religious ceremony
as it is a political function, and that
the manwho fails to strike for honesty
and integrity at such .a tiine, dishonors
his God, his country and himself.”
The Green Goods Gull Catchers.
The Lexo'w committee exposures
have made the green goods swindle.
both unpopular and dangerous in New
York. But the business of roping in
the guys who think they can buy $4,000
in imitation money which cannot be
detected for $400 in good money has
not been abandoned, and will not be as
long as “guys” with good money and
rascaily inclinations can be found. For
the present the green goods gang that
formerly operated in New York are
carrying on their business near Perth
Amboy, using the Jersey City Post
Office as a medium for sending out
their gull-catching circulars. They
will probably be run out of Perth Am-
bow now that their new base of opera-
tions has become known, but they will
easily find a new rendezvous.
“ The folly of fools is their destruc-
tion,” wrote the wise man long ago,
and against the folly of the particular
combination of fool and knave known
in the vernacular of the green goods
scoundrels as a "‘guy,” law, courts nor
newspapers, nor all . combined, can
afford any adequate protection. The
green goods operators will reach these
greedy fools with their lying circulars
and the fools will believe the lie and
part with their money as soon as they
can reach the, appointed rendezvous
whether it be New York, Perth Amboy'
or the most lonesome cross—roads post
office in the forty-four States.
All Men Equal die-Day.
The American elector to-day, be he
high or low, ignorant or learned, dis-
tinguished or humble, stands before
the ballot box on an. exact equality.
The president or‘ his prime minister, is
no more potent to-day thanvthe obscur-c
est citizen who cleans our sewers. Like-
death, the ballot box is a leveler of all.
social distinctions. Well may the hum-i
bier man in this democratic country,
bears he a pick or a hod,.sing to-day :—
"The proudest now is but my peer.
The highest not more high.
To-day of all the weary year -
A king of menam I.
To-day. alike are great and small.
The nameless and the known;
My palace is the people’s hall,
The ballot box my throne.”m ,.

and"admiration this unique shoe palace
paid but a fitting compliment to the
enterprising proprietors as well as to
their own good...taste andjudgment.
Said one lady enthusiastically, in the
GAZETTE reporter’s" hearing, “Why this
store, than‘a NorWalk shoe emporium. ”
And true it is. No shoe store of equal
grace, taste and beauty, can be fou'n'd
{in any city in the entire state of Con-
necticut." Neither in Hartford or New
Haven, is there anything approaching
it. Wide-awake, enterprising-Bridge-
port’s most elaborately, furnished shoe
stores are far ,behind . this. The
whole city of Washington, the Capital
of a Nation of nearly seventy millions
of people, has no wherewithin its ten
mile square limits, a similar store,
which in refined taste and neat-noes ot
outfit and equipment, will bear any
comparison With it. - Its pure white
tone and color of boxes and shelving, is
in Harmonious keeping with the latest
fad. in store decoration. The .writer
can well remember when the farrfnm'ed
and great East room of the White
House, was in no wise as attractive and
cleanly as is the Olsen store. The en-
tire store floors are neatly covered with
bright patterned oil-cloths, while
‘Smyrna rugs and mats galore, tasty,
comfortable and upholstered chairs,
hassocks, etc., are made resplendent
'by scores of brilliant incandescent
electric lights, illuminating store and
windows and with a big arc burner
over the doors, shedding their streams
of light far out into the street and‘at-
tracting the pleased and wondering
'eyes of every passer by to this, in Nor-
waik, unprecedented bower of beauty,
But all these bright spectacular crea-
tions are of small moment in a practical
way, to the enormously large stock of.
entirely new, fresh made and high
grade. Ladies, Gents. and Children’s
boots and shoes. No stock so large, so
varied, so cheap in price, so_ superbain
qualities, was ever placed in any N or-
walk store before.
Of course, old fogies and croakers
have wagged their-heads and dolcfully,
prophesied that the Olsens’ had in all
this array of showy, splendors and vast
aggregation of fresh made goods, on-
tirely outstripped local demands and
exceeded any possible supporting pat
'ronage; that the shoe trade of. Nor-
walk is so restricted that but a _ limited
number of pairs of foot coverings can
be sold here in any one year, etc., etc.,
and that failure must surely follow such
grand display and extravagant expen-
diture for stock. How fallacious has
all such ill omened croakings proved to
be. ,__'NO- store in Norwalk has been-up
‘ to date, so packed with eager, gratified
and satisfied customers, as the “white
store” of the Olsen’s. Their exper-
rience again proves the old truism,that
“there is always room at the top.f’
Certain it is, that if any such store is to
be;cro.wded to the wall by ill-natured
. rivalry, it won’t be the Olsens’; Again
there is room for all. Thousands of
- dollars go out of this town every "year
for a higher grade of shoes than have.
hitherto-been kept in stock at any of
the old establisements. Now, the la-
test styles, the daintiest textures, and
most exquisitely made goods for bridal
party, reception or general use, to be
found this side of Paris, will be kept at
this store. Then too, the costlier
makes of ladies’ and children’s and in-
fants’ shoes,hitherto obtainable only in
some great New York store, will al-
ways be kept’on hand here. In short,
from the tiniest kid shoes for the baby,
to the satin boot or slipper for Misses
or Mrs., to the spike-toad patent leather
for the dude or the No.- 16 brogans for
“Jeems” Mitchell, all will be found at
the Olsens’ “white store,” and may
continued and abundant prosperity,
reward their enterprise. ‘

The DeForest Meeting.
Despite the terrible cyclonic storm, a
dense crowd packed the Opera House
last evening to listen to Congressman
DeForest. The stage was prettily
dressed out with palms, ferns, potted
plants and a score of the best looking
men in the Democratic party. It was
remarked that “Dick” Golden, Col.
Leslie Smith, “Gandy” Belts, Clar-
ence Osborn and "Spider” Honnecker,
were the five handsomest stage decora-
ytions that had gratified the public eye
at any political meeting this fall.
They did look happy and real pretty,
and no mistake. Our Congressman~
labored for nearly three hours in a do»
fence» of the new Democratic tarifi"
measure and his own action in connect-
ion therewith. Ho gave his opponent
E. J. Hill several sharp but entirely
good natured thrusts After describing
the “big bellied, diamond studdied
chaps that came down to Washington
to plead for higher protection ,in hopes
of putting more money into their own
pockets and with no desire or purpose
to increase the pay of their workmen,”
“UncleJoe”Matheis interrupted: “You
were there and ought to know.” This
brought down . the house and. the
speaker joined in the laugh the sally
occasxoned. It was all in all, a good
meeting, a good speech and left algood
impression upon his political friends.
.Mr. DeForest left for home on the mid-
night trai'n. ' ' ' ’

.chase the “New American”
Steam F ire. Engine.
Tobe Ready Wlthln' copay...
At the meeting of the City Council
held Monday evening;it was voted to
purchase a “new American” Steam
Fire Engine of the American Steam
Fire Engine company. Chief Engineer
Prowitt was present and “set the ball
rolling” to that end by stating that
while he had previously been in favor
of a different engine he had become
convinced by investigation that the
new American was superior to'any other
verdict of the engineers in various
other cities with whom he.had corres-
ponded and Who had seen the engine
worked at the firemen’s convention. in
Montreal. He then introduced Mr.
Silsby, who represents the company.
Mr, Siisby, addressing the mayor and
council said that the company here'pre-
sented, the American Steam Fire; En-
gine company, was a consolidation of
the four leading steam fire engine com-
panies of the country, arid that , the
new American was an engine that com-
priSed all of the best features of the
engines formerly manufactured by each
company. The company had sent the
first one built to the recent firemen’s
convention at Montreal and it had met
with the entire 2 approval of the fire on-
gineers present. That particular on-
gine had been sold to, the city of Erie,
Pa. Would like to place one in the
New England states, and the city of
Norwalk, fully believing that it would
be the best advertisement the company
could have. He agreed to have the
engine here within 90 days after re-
ceipt of the order, and would have it
put to any testthe Council might do-
cide upon and in the presence of engin-
eers from different parts of the coun-
try. The machine was to be first’class
in every particular and to be to the sat-
isfaction of the city. ‘ ,
' The price was not announced but it
is understood to be less than $4,000.
A motion was made that the fire com-'-
mittee be instructed to purchase an
American fire engine, but the promul-
gater of the motion being reminded
that the city meeting had by-vote speci-
fied that an engine be purchased by
the council _for the city. And the
council will act in accordance with such
vote, and the probabilities are that a
“new American” will be ordered if the
order has not already been placed.
The Mayor and full boardeere-pres-
ent. Bills to the amount of $1,018,36
were ordered paid. , , .
The Street Railway company was
granted permission to put in a switch
and curve track on Wall street to the
company’s depot. .
‘ The petitions of Theodore E. Smith
for an electric light on Heyt street, one
for an electric light corner Main and
Wall streets,and that of Hatch,Bailey &
Co. for a light on Stuart avenue were
referred to the committee on lights.
A proposal was received from a South
N orwalk concern offering to inoccuiate
the elm trees as a preventive against the
ravages of the elm tree beetle, for fifty
cents a tree. ,
The chief-of police reported eleven
arrests for the month of October.
The sum of $1,000 was voted to the
administrative department.
Councilman Pinneo presented a bill
from Buxton & Brundage, for $10 for
injuries to one of their horses from
stepping on an alleged loose man-hole
cover, and one of 32 from Dr. Schup-
pan for professional services in
the matter. City Counsel E. M. Lock~
wood stated that he had examined the
case and did not believe the city liable.
Dr. Schuppan’s bill. was -“ordered paid
and that of Buxton & Brundage was
referred to the city counsel.
Dr. W. J. Tracy,‘hea1th oflicer,pre-
sented the following bills, C. L. Glov-
er, $l5.98, J. W. Bogardus, $4.95, J ohn
Hyatt, for clothing burned, $27.50.
The bills were to cover the loss sus-
tained by John W. Hyatt by reason of
his house being quarantined sixteen
days owing to contagious disease there-
in. The bills were referred to the city
council.
Councilman Adams called attention
to the improvements made by the Tram-
waycompany at the foot of Mill Hill.
A communication signed E. and call.
ing attention to. the dangerous condi-
tion of East avenue below the Vander-
hoef residence, found its way to the
wicker man hole under the executive
table.
Councilman Pinneo reminded the
Council that nothing. had been done in
regard to cutting down the sidewalk
near Charles Hill’s residence. Coun-
cilman Adams of the highway commit-
tee said that it, would receive his im-
mediate attention. .
City counsel Lockwood reported that
in most instances parties who had been
requested towplace'their defective side-
walksin repair had complied with such
request. He noted one .instance on
Main street, where the above was not
the case, and he was instructed by the
ocuncil to order the same done.
Councilman. Wheeler, chairman: of
the committee on lights, read an offer
made the city from Receiver Whitney
of the N. & S. N. Electric Light com-
pany to furnish eighty-five street lights,
to burn until two o’clock, at $75 per
light, the contract to be for one'year
from the first of December. subject to
the approval of the court; Mr. W
or recommended the making of such a
contract, and the council by a unani-
mous vote so instructed him to' act in
the matter. , , . . ..

l-tr‘ritmironp, N. J.. Nov. 6.—Francls
Callahan, treasurer of the Union-Traction
company, a well to do resident of this
place, was killed by the Bergen county
express. which lie was boarding for New
York, today. _ __ "
Singularly enough, he had been fore-
warned of his fate repeatedly by the man
who nearly lost his own life in an effort
to save him. "
Mr. Callahan took this train regularly
every morning. As it is quite crowded
when the Rutherford passengers are taken
on, it was his practice to swing upon the
front (platform of the smoker before the
train stepped. and by thlsmcans he usua1~
ly securedn sent.
Conduct-or ,jfnckcr. who is uSuaIIy regu-
larlyln charge of this train and personal-
ly knows most of his commuters, had
discovered Mr. Callzmcn's llttlo scheme to
get a seat and frequently warned him of
the danger of it. This morning, as the
train slackoned at the station. Mr. Cal-
lancn had his favorite post, and as the
front platform of the smoker passed him
he quickly shut his umbrella and caught
the guard roll. As he did so his foot
slipped on the wet; steps. and, hindered by
his umbrella, he could not support him-
self and swung around between the cars.
Conductor Decker was on the platform,
and leaning forward he caught Mr. Cal-
lanen by the coat collar. Mr. Cullanen
was a heavy man, and the motion of the
train was slowly forcing him on a deadly.
swing downward and to the roar. -
. _At last the strain broke his own hold,
and he went down. hauling Conductor
Decker over the rail until at the last limit
of his strength he releaSed the: ”unfortunate
I man.
The train passed over him, the wheels
cutting off the top of his head and scoop-
ing the brain from the skull. The accl-
dent was, witnessed by throngs on the
platform, and the passengers on the train
heard the outcry and felt the jar and shock
as the Wheels passed over the victim’s
body. The greatest excitement ensued.
Men and women were horror stricken and.
slckened: Numbers abandoned their city
trips and went home half fainting.
The body was taken to Mr. Cailanen’s
home on Home avenue: His wife, with
whom he had parted in health but a few
moments before, was prostrated with
grief.
