The Right Man for the Place.
Something» like a dozen different
names have been suggested in different
parts of the state, as editable candi-
dates fur the Speakership of our com~
ing House of Representatives. It is
one of the pleasing and encouraging
signs of the times that the people of so
many towns in Connecticut have elected
members of the Legislature who in the
public estimation are fit to fill the me
siding ofiicer’s chair. So many “fav-
orite sons,” representing so many
towns, prove to theworld that “the
cbuntry is safe.” But candidly, there
is one name mentioned that so conspi-
cuously * towers above all others in
qualificatlon, merit and conceded fit-
ness, that no one seriously questions
his being preeminently the right man
for the place. The GAZETTE refers of
course, to the Hon. Samuel Fessenden,
of Stamford. NO man in this state, or
out of it, has rendered more effective,
unselfish and unrequitted service for
his party than he. Always working for
the preferment of others and not for
himself; for the cause, because he be-
lieved in the beneficenco of Republi-
can principles; no man has an equal
claim with Fessenden for the united
support. of his party, in the coming
vote for the Speakership. But these
generous qualities are of less moment
than his unrivalled qualifications for
the position. He is a master of parlia-
mentary'law and usage; is entirely fa-
miliar with public men and measures ;
has an unusually alert way Of reaching
conclusions, which are sure to be
sound; has remarkable tact, aptitude
and quick comprehension of all matters
legislative. Above all and over all, he
has that constant gcniality of temper,
that never shows irritation under the
most trying,‘land to others, most exas-
perating circumstances. In fine, Fes-
Senden is known everywhere to be a
big hearted, great natured and superb-
ly brainy man. - '

He will go into caucus with Fairfield
and Litchfield counties solid for him,
with a large followmg throughout the
entire’state. The only opposition he
is likely to encounter anywhere will
come, if it comes at all, from ex-Gov-
erncr Buckley’s antipathy, because of
Fesscnden having refused to accept the

- nomiiiation for U. S. Senator and thus
making thercturn of Senator Hawley
for the third time possible and Buck-
ley’s selection impossible.

Fessenden is the idol of the Republi-
cans of Western Connecticut and they
were sadly disappointed when for rea-
sons personal to himself, but sound and
commendable, he refused them.their
ardent desire to place him in the United
States senate, a position they knew he
would have adorned, as he will illustri-
onsly adorn that of the next Speaker
of the Connecticut House of Represen-
tatives. '

Not So Very Harmful.

The following letter addressed by Vice
President Hall ofsthe Consolidated rail-
road to Hon. Sam. Fessenden, in answer
to lies of similar character to those
coined for years past by the Hour
Barabbas, have equal application here
in Norwalk:

The growth and prosperity of Stam-
ford minister directly to the growth
and prosperity of the Consolidated
Railroad—their interests are reciprocal
and their relations should be cordial.
Under the existing statutes we propose
to commence very costly improvements
at South Norwalk very soon, and with
the completion of that work, and prob-
ably before it is finished, to promply
proceed With our proposed ‘work in
your city.

Yours truly,

I
JOHN M. HALL,
Vice-President. -

St. Mary’s Fair.

The Opera House was crowded Sat-
nrday night, the third of the annual
fair Of St. Mary’s church society. The
stage entertainment was excellent, the
lady canvassers fascinating and the re-
ceipts flatering. Ten door prizes were
glven out of which Maggie McAuley
secured a guitar; James Sullivan, a
toilet set; Sarah Connersa clock; Mrs.
Ill. McDonald, ham; Margaret Corbett,
bag of flour; Thomas Bell a traveling
set and opera-glass, Mrs. D. McCarthy,
a doll; John Gammons, a cologne set
and Grace Wilmot a watch.

Mrs. R. L. Ells is arranging to have

» An eleven‘frOmi.this‘> city «made up
from Grace Church Guild, and calling
themselvesthe NOrWalk-(Juniors, visit-
ed. Westport and met an eleven from
that place. '

The teams were very evenly matched
with the exception that the \Vestport’s
played young Stone, one of their senior
team, and an extra fine player.

In the first half West-port took the
ball and kicked off. The play was
mostlyon the Norwalk lines and Stone
succeeded in getting a touch down for
the Westport’s but owing to the ball
being placed on «the ground the Nor-
walks rushed forward and prevented a
goal being kicked. .

With the score standing 4 to 0 against
the Norwalks went to work with a Will
and succeeded in rushing the ball to
Westport’s fifteen yard line. Here it
was passed to full back Byington, who
kicked a goal from the field, making
the score 5 to 4 in Norwalk’s favor. _

In the second half the Norwaiks
played on the defensive and the West-
ports failed to increase their score. The
teams lined up as follows.

HorT’s OPERA HOUSE.

Not the least important feature of
Barnabee. Karl and MacDonald’s Rob-
in Hood Opera Company, which pre-
sents"Robin Hood” at Hoyt’s Opera
House, this' evening, is the magnif-
icent chorus. It is safe to say that a
better well balanced and well drilled
chorus was never before seen in this
city. This is certainly commendable
and Messrs. Barnabee, Karl and Mac-
Donald are entitled to greet praise for
their efforts in paying particular atten-
tion to details which unfortunately are
too often utterly disregarded by comic
opera managers.

NOBwALK OPERA HOUSE.

On Wednesday evening. November
2lst. the Boy-Choir - of Grace .church

at the Norwalk Opera House. They
will be assisted on this occasion by

cuticnist, of New York. The reserved

\‘x’here Did He Get it?

Ofiicer Bartram, Friday night last,
arrested a man named Riordan and
placed him in the station house. Rior-
dan was at the time intoxicated. He
was kept in the station house until the
following Saturday afternoon, when he
was taken before a Justice for trial.
When he was put to plea it was evi-
dent that he was in a more intoxicated
condition than when arrested. Natur-
ally, the question is asked, “Where did
he get the liquor ?” Whoever furnished

him with intoxicants while he was un- ‘

der arrest, is amenable to the law and
liable to a fine and imprisonment. This
is not the first time that a similar Of-
fence has been committed and some-
thing should be done to prevent its
recurence.

Didn't. Know What Struck Him.

Saturday evening, Joseph Bray
found Gurdon S. Ireland wandering
around on Wilton avenue in an aimless
way, and stepping up to him found that
his face was covered with blood and
the man himself dazed. He assisted
him home and it was two hours before
Ireland regained his senses, and-then
was unable to tell what had befallen
him, He had an n ly cut over his eye
and was considerab y bruised about his
body. It is thought that he jumped
from a moving electric car, as he it' is
claimed, remembered having boarded
a car for home.

' MEMPHI‘S‘I'NOV. 1.2.‘r—Tl19 forest fires in
Arkansas north of Memphis are spreading
with unabated fury,‘ and with a cOntinu—
ance of the drought that has prevailed in
this territory for the past nine weeks
there is no reason to expect a cessation of
the fires until invaluable damage has been
done. So far the fire has covered all the
country from Marion to Jones Landing,
1 distance of 25 miles, which it traveled
in four days. The burned territory is
about five miles wide. Fortunately the
territory is thinly ssttled and cultivated
but very little. Standing corn and cot-
ton have been swept away and fields left
open to the stock.

In Shelby, Obion and Tlptcn counties,
in Tennessee, there are other fires which
threaten destruction to hamlets that stand
in their way, and the bridges of the Chesa-
peaks and Ohio and Southwestern rall-
way are also in danger. In Arkansas also
the Little Rock and Memphis railway is
threatened in the vicinity of Edmundson.

A special from Ripley, Tenn., to The
Cdmmercial Appeal says the people today
prayed for rain to check the furious fires
that are raging in this section. The'coun-
‘ try eight miles west of Ripley Is a mass
of flames. The cotton fields and. cornfields
are being; destroyed with little chance or
checking the fire. Nearly every creek and
rlvulet is dry, and water cannot be had
to assist in fighting the fire in Lauder-dale
county. ‘

A dispatch from Grecnvllle. Mica, says
a train load of cotton on the Deer Creek
branch of the Georgia Pacific railroad
caught fire from the blazing forests today
and was consumed: No lives were lost. '

A report comes from Nutbush, Tenn,
that fire has broken out in that section
and is sweeping everything before it. The
fire was started by a negro woman, whc
sought to burn a rattlesnake to death by
piling boards and weeds on the reptile
and striking a match to it. The flames
at last‘reports had swept over several cot~
ton fields. -

An Infurlated
Shoots a Mexican.

Vrcxsnnuo, Miss, Nov. 12.—On the
night of the 0th inst. Thomas A. Keys
of the firm of. Keys .52 Pinson, merchants
of Lloyd, La... was murdered in his store,

- WASHINGTON," Nov; "mi—The; transit 91
Mercury was observed at the naval obser-
‘vatory Saturday under the direction of
Professor William llarkness, astronomer. .
The first and social contacts were ob-
served most satisfactorily. but. because

the sun was obscure-.1 by a cloud at the.
time' of the third and fourth contacts,

which should have occur-rad about 4:12 p.

m.. no observation could be music. The

osbervatlons were taken tr} -' ll all the tele-

scopes at the institutln ringing to size
from 3 to 26 inches in (1;: mric’ Betwacu
111 a. m. and 4 p. m photographs

were taken with a photohsllmrrapli.

The first ‘contact occurred at 10:57,
which is about two minutes latnr than.
the time indicated ,by the calculations.
This fact shows that there is some inac-
curacy in the tables by which the time for
the transit was computed, and it is hoped
that the facts as obtained will result in
correcting this error, but as very elaborate
calculations will be necessary, it will be
some time before the result is known.

It ls‘also hoped that the calculations
will determine the vexed question as to
whether the moon or the earth causes the
irregularity between the dlunal rotation
of the earth and the motion of the moon
around the earth, but there will also be
delay in arriving at conclusions on this
point.

The transit was witnessed by several dis-
tinguished visitors, including Mrs.'Glevs-
land, the scretary of state and Mrs. Gresh-
am, Secretary Herbert and his daughter,
Mrs. Miccu, and Mrs. Lamont, wife of.
the secretary of War.

DENVER, Nov- 12.—-The students and
teachers of (the University of Denver ob-
served the translt of Mercury. The ob-
servation was very successful. Professor
Howe handled the large telescope. The
transit began at 8:56, with Mercury 3
black speck. It slowly passed by the sun,
and at 12:12 disappeared. -

An Investigation That May Eclipse the
Lexow Committee's Revelations.

CHICAGO, Nov. Iii—The Post says that
owing to the lawlessness ot' the police in
certain districts of the city during the
election a strong movement is on foot to
Secure an investigation of the Chicago po-
lice force by state authorities. The Civic
Federation and the Civil Service Reform
league, backed by the powerful Union
League club and other prominent organi—
zations, will, upon convening of the state
legislature, secure the appointment of an
investigating board, and its work is ex-
pected to rival, for sensational revelations,
that of the Lexow committee of New
York. ‘

Owing to the lack of city money, Chief
of Police Brennan has issued a general
order arranging for the dropping of about
500 police Officers from the force. It is
probable that the reduction from the force
will include some of the prominent ofi‘i-
clals.

A Bullet In His Skull.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—James Doyle, treas-

and assaults by the union men, of whom
Doyle was one, have been frequent. Buré
gess and a companion were assaulted by
a. crowd of union men. with Doyle at their
head. A' fierce fight followed, and-Doyle
was carried away with a bullet in his
skull., He died an hour later. Burgess
gave himself up.
