The Duty of a Citlzen.

Of all the able, liberal, instructive
and christianizing sermons, appearing
in the New York Sunday Herald, none
have been more timely, and patrioti-
cilly ennobling than the last one from
which we append the text and a few
salient points: ,

Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; thatput darkness for
light, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!—
Isaiah, v., 20. .

“Communal orthodoxy consists in
careful guardianship of the general
good, and communal heresy consists. of
evading your public duty and allowmg

., those 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 morals 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 and
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 What 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 we live. We are all kings,
exercising a kingly prerogative, and
declaring by the pronunciamento of a
ballot that we believe in God and hon-
est government. To evade that duty
is a crime, and 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 our text is not

> simply the woe which will follow and

capture the men who use public office
for private gain, but also the man, the
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 man who fails to strike for honesty
and integrity at such a time, dishonors
his God, his country and himself.”

The Green Goods Gull Catchers-

The Lexow 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
rascally 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-
b0w 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 To—Dav.

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 than the obscur-
est citizen who cleans our sewers. Like
death, the ballot box is a leveler of all
social distinctions. Well may the hum-
bler man in this democratic country,
bears he a pick or a bed, sing to-day :—

"I‘he proudest now is but my peer.
The highest not more high.
To—dav of all the weary year
A king of men am I. I
To-day, alike are great and small, .
The nameless and the knoiivn;
My palace is the people’s hal‘,

The ballot box my throne.”
————-—-—.QO——-——
At the Polls.

At noon to-day about 1,200 envelopes
had been given out at the 'l‘own House,
the polling place of the F1 st Voting
The officials are Styles Cur-
tis, moderator; Frederick Mead, as-
sistant; J. J. Walsh and Samuel. Lynes,
registrars; B. C. Feeney and Clark
Ely booth tenders; Clarence ,Osborn
and Frank Selleck, charge of ballots;
William Adams, Jarvis Kellogg and D.
S. Curtis, stall tenders. It now looks
as if the vote polled would equal that
polled at the presidential election.

The "Whlte Store.”

The large crowd of ladies and gentle-
men who stood in front of the new
“white store” of Glenn Bros, on Saturq
day evening and viewed with minder
and admiration this unique shoe palace
paid but a fitting compliment to the
enterprising proprietors as .well as to
their own good taste and Judgment.
Said one lady enthusiastically, in the
GAZETTE reporter’s hearing, “ Wh y this
is more like a splendid Broadway art
store, than 9. Norwalk shoe emporium. ”
And true it is. No shoe store of equal
grace, taste and beauty, can'be found
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; Amillions
of people, has no where within its ten
mile square limits, a similar store,
which in refined taste and . neatness of
outfit and equipment, will bear any
comparison with it. Its pure white
tone and color of boxes and shelvmg, is
in harmonious keeping with the latest
fad in store decoration. The writer
can well remember‘whcn the far filmed
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 for out into the street undat-
tracting the pleased and wondering
eyes of every passer by to this, in Nor-
walk, unprecedented bower of beauty,
But all these bright spectacular crea-
tions are of small moment in a practici-l
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. superb in
qualities, was ever placed in any N or-
walk store before.

Of course, old fogies and croakers
have wagged their heads and tlclefully
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 offoot 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.”
Certain it is, that if any ch store is to
be crowded to the wall y 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. N ow, 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 heptat
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-teed patent leather
for the dude or the No. 16 brogans for
“J eems” Mitchell, all will be found at
the Olsens’ “white store,” and may
continned and abundant prosperity,
reward their enterprise.

The DeForest Meetlng.

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” Bette. Clar-
ence Osborn and “Spider” Honnecker,
were the five handsomest stage decora-

 

.7 tions 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 de-
fence of the new Democratic tariff
measure and his own action in connect-
ion therewith. He 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,”
“Uncle Joe” Matheis interrupted: ‘ ‘You
Were there and ought to know.” This
brought down the house and the
speaker joined in the laugh the sally
occasioned. It was all in all, a good
meeting, a good speech and left a good
impression upon his political friends.
Mr. .DeForest left for home on the mid-
night train.

The City Council Decides to Pu?-

chase the “New American”
Steam Fire Engine.

 

 

/

To be Ready WIthln 90 Days.

 

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
engine on the market, and this wasthe
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.
Sllsby, who represents the company.
Mr, Silsby, addressing the mayor and
council said that the company he repre-
sented, the American Steam Fire En
gine company, was a consolidation of
the four leading steam fire engine com-

panies of the country, and 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 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 test the Council might de-
cide upon and in the presence of engin-
eers from different parts ofthe 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 meet-ing had by vote speci-

fied that an engine be purchased by
the council for the city. And the
council willact in accordance with such
vote, and the probabilities are that a
“new American” will be ordered if the
order has non already been placed.

The Mayor and full board were pres-
ent. Bills to the amount of $1,018,536
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 Hoyt 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 commit-tee on lights. ‘

A proposal was received from a South
Norwalk concern offering to inocculate
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 $2 from Dr. Schup-
pan for professional services in
the matter. City Counsel E. M. Lock-
wood stated that hehad 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. 'Iracy, health officer, pre-
sented the following bills, C. L. Glov-
er, $l5.98, J. W. Bogardus, $4.95, John
Hyatt, for clothing burned, $27.50.
The bills were to cover the loss sus-
tained by John IV. 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.
way company 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 to place their defective side-
walks in 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
council to order the same done.

Councilman Wheeler, chairmafi’ of
the committee on li his, read an offer
made the.city from eceiver 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. Wheel-
er recommended the making of such a
contract, and the council by a unani-
mous vote so instructed him to act in-
the matter. '

The council adjourned to Monday
evening, Nov. 19th

I A severe‘northeast snowstorm raged

last night all over Connecticut, doing
extensive dama e,rparticularly to the
tilrtagraph and to ephone service in the
I a 8. ' .

The Southern New England . Tele-

' phone company suffered considerably.

The wires belonging to the , oug Dis-
tance Telephone Company near South
Norwalk were also blown down, and
serum between New York and paints
cast was cut off, -

The Telephone company sent out

damage to the company’swires.

It rained very hard all day, the-
storm commencing about 6 o’clock a.m.
In the evening or about 7 o’clock large
snowflakes began to fall and as
fell there was a wrestle for supremacy
between that andthe' rain until about
midnight when there were two inches
of snow on the ground, and the slush-
iest kind of snow.

~Several limbs were broken from trees
and scattered about by the force of the
storm, and small trees and bushes were
blown down. “

The electric carshowever made their
usual trips and the “service on both
lines was all that could be desired.

’l‘o-day the air is raw and .chilly but
the sun is out in all its glory, and the
mud left by the rapid disappearance of
the snow is being almost as rapidly
turned into dust by the sun’s rays.

lhe day is spoken of as a ’ “very fair
kind of a Republican day, but hardly
up to the standard.” ' ' ..

There is no doubt that gum-chewing
is a. growing habit among even conser-
vative people in this city. Physicians
have been known to advocate the prac-
tice for indigestion, and under this
scant claim to respectability the gum-
dispensing slot machines take in a great
many pennies during the day. But it
will .be a long time before the gum-
chewer, no matter how omni-present
he becomes, will be a. pleasing
object to the are, so why don’t the
public .spend their money in some-
thing that is more amusing, that is not
a habit, and is not only pleasing to the
eye but the ear as well, and that is to
go and see Jolly Nellie McHenry in
her greatest show on earth, “A Night

this evening, Nov. 6th.

No representative of legitimate act-
ing has achieved more genuine friend-
ship among theatrical, critics on his
own merits than 'Mr. Clay Clement.
None since Mary Anderson came out
of the West. Mr. Clement has received
long columns of carefully written criti-
cisms from the principal dailies of the
Western cities. The Detroit Free Press
considers his “Hamlet” and his “Ma.
thias” in the “Bells” the finest and the
truest to nature of anything seen since
Irving and Booth. - Mr. Clement sup-

NOBWALI OPERA HOUSE.

Home life as it actually exists around.
this very neighborhood, is what Mr.
Home has painted for the public in his
ideal play “Shore Acres,” which is un-
derlined for the Norwalk Opera House,
Wednesday November 7th with the
original company, under the direction
of H. C. Minor, Proprietor and Man-
ager of the Fifth Avenue Theatre. The
scenes are located at Lemoine, a small
country village that faces Frenchman’s
Bay on one side, and Jordan 'River on.
the other. The characters have their
living prototypes, and Mr Herns‘
knows nearly all of them personally.
“Shore Acres” may be credited with
having'made the greatest success of any
New England play yet written. It has
been praised by everybody, and col-
umns have been written upon its great
moral influence. One of the best things
in “Shore Acres” is the character of;
Nathan’ I. Berry. It is an ideal char-j
actor. That it will always live in the"
annals of the stage isbeyond question,

Tr ‘ofion Treasurer Callanen Insets a Hot.
rib‘e Death at Rutherford.
RUTHERFORD, N. J.. Nov. 6.—Francls
Callahan, treasurer of the Union Traction

foompany, a well to do resident of this

place, was killed by the Bergen county
express, which he 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. ‘

Mn 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 stopped. and by this means he usual-
ly secured asoat.

Conductor Decker. who is usually regu-
larly in charge of this train and personal-
ly knows most of his commuters, had
discovered Mr. Callanon’s little scheme to
gct'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 rail. - 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. Callahan
was a heavy man, and the motion of the
train was slowly forcing him on a deadly
swing downward and'to the‘renr.

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 theunfortunate
man. '

The train passed over‘ him, the wheels
cutting off the top of hls'head and scoop-
lng 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 thevjar and shock
as the wheels passed over' the victim’s
body. The greatest excitement ensued.
Men and Women were horror stricken and
sickened. Numbers abandoned their city
trips and went home half fainting.

The body was taken to Mr. Callanen’s
home on Home avenue. His wife, with
whom he had partedln health but a few
moments before, was prostrated with
grief. ';’ i

FARMERS “’ERE VICTIMIZED.

Men Wanted In Philadelphia Said to Have
Swindlcd Them.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-——l\1. -M. Brown-
ing and an unknown young man opened
a store for the sale of butter at 137 Mar-
garetta. street. in this city, in April last.
Browning conducted the business here
and sent the young man to-fthe west to
negotiate with farmers for the sale of the
product. After the young man returned
to this city consignments of butter arriv-
ed from the west, to be paid to: upon de-
livery. Browning suddenly left town,
and last Tuesday the young man follow-
ed, after closing the shop.

It'ls said that since their disappearance
information has been received from farm-
ers in northern Illinois and southern Wis-
consin, particularly Jefferson county, to
