A Rhode Islander asks Editor Dana to state what a Congressman-elect ought really to know, and the Sun, “that shines for all,” aptly replies thuslyz— , “We will name three things which a statesman must know, or he or some- body, must pay dearly, for his ignor- ance. First, the Constitution of the United States; secondly, the principles of the party he represents; thirdly, the Ten Commandments. On this foundationaman can build up all the political greatness his talents permit. Without it he is sure to reach the ditch either of obscurity or disgrace.” As for Hill, he is particularly well grounded in all these requirements and is especially sound (as he will need to be on going from pure and peaceful Norwalk to Washington) in the Ten Commandments. Indeed, the “Com- mandments” may be said to; be his “strongest hold.” Dlphtheritic Contagion. At a recent session of the New York Academy of Medicine, Dr. H. W. [Berg read a paper on the treatment of diph thei‘ia. In speaking of the disease it- self, Dr. Berg said that it could be communicated five months after its supposed disappearance, from clothing, toys, A's. All who came in contact with the patient he said, were sources for spreading the contagion, and every- thing the patient touched was usually contaminated, as the patients were gen- erally not old enough to appreciate the value of perfect cleanliness and sanita- tion. Where there was diphtheria in the families of persons keeping‘ baker and butcher shops it was especially danger- ous. Dr. Berg strongly commended the use of anti toxins. Bacteriologists of the New York Board of Health have inaugurated the work of producing anti-toxine by in- oculating eighteen horses. oor Buy- At Home. At this season, when the hearts of all parents and good people, are turned to wards the subject of presents purchas- ing for children and friends, it seems a good time for the GAZETTE to reiter— ate its often repeated plea to purchase your Holiday, Goods at Home. Our Norwalk merchants have made large and liberal provision for the holiday trade and can amply fill any reasonable demand in the line of suitable, season- able gifts. Considering the stringen- cy of the money market and the dull- ness of the times, which still continue with but slight amelioration, we fear many of our tradesman will find them- selves overstocked unless they them- selves awake to the necessity of ener- getically advertising their holiday at- tractions. But if all the money ex- pended by all the people in Norwalk for Christmas gifts, shall be paid out to our local dealers, a good business will be done and our town as a whole, will be largely the gainer by it. Every good citizen, earnestly desir- ing the best good and largest prosper- ity for the town where he resides, will or should, instinctively feel a sense of obligation to “support our own” home establishments, in preference to those of strangers. This sentiment is the true kernel of the National Tariff issue. Prot'ectionists believe that if American money can all be expended at home among our own people, instead of being sent abroad for the purchase of foreign manufactures, this country is sure to be so much the richer therefor. So, if all the money expended by Norwalk people for their current wants, could be more largely paid out here, a great- er localfiprosperity would be assured us. On the other hand, our home mer- chants should use the most earnest en- deavors to‘ let the public know of their ability to‘ amply supply its wants. Norwalk merchants as well as Norwalk customers, should also exemplify more largely than they sometimes do, the “live and let live” policy. If they can aid one another at home, as well, or even nearly as well, as they can by go- ing abroad to make their purchases, this they should set an example to their customers by doing. No good citizen anywhere, worthy the name, can live like a clam, sucking all that comes its ' way and shutting itself up in its selfish shell, fearing it may have to yield some moiety to another, and expect to prosper. It pays to be wide awake and to be generous to your neighbors in trade. Let us illustrate the idea by reference to the Holmes Keeler & Sel. leck Co. This concern sell all lines of grocery goods on as advantageous terms as any retail dealer can secure them in New York. In manyinstances they can and do, do better for our home retailer than the out of to-in whole- saler. Now is it not manifestly for the best interests of our city that the Holmes‘Keeler & Selleck Co. be sus- tained and given our local retailers’ custom, than to have this trade go abroad to build up some other'city and outside dealer? No sensible person can fail to see that it is for the best interests of us all. So the GAZETTE repeats. with all the emphasis possible, “buy at home” and “supportgtour own.” > And may our Norwalk merchants, one and all, reap a prosperous and merry Christmas. l [mas -' Divided. ' Judge Shumway granted the following divorces : ' Hattie L. Harty from James W. Harty, desertion, married in 1884. Annie Downs from C. L. Downs who deserted her in 1890. Eliza H. Mead from'John M. Mead for adultery. Married in 1875. Name of petitioner changed to Pond. ' Georgeanna Avery of Ridgefield, from Albert E. Avery. The latter brought a suit alleging desertion, but a crime suit was filed for intolerable cruelty. Cross suit granted and custom dy of two children awarded to Mrs. Avery. The “marriage of Anna Peck and Charles Peck was also annulled. Peck was arrested about four months ago for forgery and sent to prison. He was known as William McNamee. It was proven that he had been married twice his‘marriage to Mrs. Peck having oc- curred after his statement to her that he .was a single man. After fleecing llllel‘ of considerable money, he deserted er. ' Abbie Burritt was given a divorce from Charles Burritt on the ground of adultery. The couple had been mar- ried about 20 years. Burritt is an old G. A. R. man. William H. Bloomfield was awarded a decree from Henrietta Bloomfield. The parties are from Stamford, and Bloomfield alleged intolerable cruelty, claiming. his wife assaulted him 'ith a chair, breaking his arm and inflicting other injuries. Ida Donning was divorced from G. W. Donning on the ground of adultery. They were married in 1889. The decree allows alimony of $8 a week. Ought to be Framed.

The selectmeu will pay the same as soon as they can decide upon the question as to who are the lawful heirs. As a result of their investiga- tions thus far when the money is divi- ded it will probably be as follows: One hundred dollars each to Mrs. Ed- win Byxbee and Mrs. David Nash and one hundred dollars to be divided equally among the children of James Morris. 9-.— To the Ladies. The foreign family that came to Nor- walk a short time since, while yet unable to speak English, and which so interesteda number of our adies in their behalf, has proven to be :persons of education and refinement. The wife speaks the French tongue fluently and all are making good progress in the use of English. The husband is a first- class furrier and tailor, and the wife a thoroughly experienced ladies’ dress and childrens’ garments maker. They are at 36 Main street, and today adver- tise the making, cleaning—and repairing of gents’ clothing, making of all fur garments, dressing and dyeing skins, etc. An interpreter is always at hand and we bespeak for this poor family orders for work, for we chance to know that all they undertake to do is exceed- ingly well done. '7 Embrace it. This is the opportunity of years for advertisers. People have not spent money since the hard times came on more than for actual necessities. Times now are better and will improve. Purse strings will be untied, and business and the world of trade will resume normal conditions, The advertiser who has wisdom to discern this will begin his work at once, and not delay until these facts are patent to his competitors. ' .09— Grand and Patriotic. The Connecticut papers have not yet learned to distinguish between the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Sons of the Revolution. They are distinct and separate socities although they are probably destined one day to join forces as of old. Several years ago some petty differences brought about the two organizations ; but they are both grand and patriotic. ——. ,. —Picture framing by J. T.Hayes. . ‘ . 878tf Mortuary Record.

Lactic acid, caused by the- de- composition of the gelatinous and al- buminous tissues, circulates with the blood and attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly in the joints, and thus causes the local manifestations of the disease. The back and shoulders are the parts usually affected by rheuma- tism, and the joints at the knees,ank1es hips andwrists are also sometimes at tacked. Thousands of people have found in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a positive and permanent cure for rheumatism. It has had remarkable success in cur-J ing the most severe cases.
