There are new and additional confir- mations of Turkish atrocities in Armen. ian. daily coming to light. There can, be no further doubt that there has been a dreadful slaughter of the Christian population. Whatever action may or may not be taken by this Government, there is no reason why the American. public should not let its feeling on the subject be known. Our government should express in lmo uncertain tones the horror- and indignation of a civi- lzed people, at crimes that are a scan- dal, to humanity. One Brute the Less. Some two thousand brutes in human form, got together-in New-Orleans on Friday night and set two of the most ferocious of their number fighting each other, urging them on with all possible violence, until one of the combatants was killed. The incident was a deplor- able one, but if it should‘ result in hanging or the locking up of the brute who did the actual killing, for the rest of his life, and of the ring-leaders among those who set him on to his victim, for a term of years and, and in prohibition of any more such brutality in a city which has long been notorious for it, as well as in many other sections of our country, the decent part of the community would be able to regard it wit-h some degree of composure. Hospital Aid. There is one way suggested that our most humane perhaps, of all our local institutions in aid of suffering human- ity may be largely and permanently assisted. That is for every church in Norwalk, possessingthe ability, and for our Odd Fellows and Masonic as- sociations to engage to endow and an- nually support one free bed in the hos- pital, which shall be for the benefit of any unfortunate in which such church or society may have any interest. This plan certainly could and it seemingly should, bring to this Christ-like charity several additional hospital beds at the least, and when coulda time more fit- tingly appropriate be selected in which to carry this plan into effective opera- tion than now in this Christmas-tide of. the year when ‘peace on earth and good will to men’ resounds in all good hearts and ears as it did eighteen cen- . turies ago to the shepherds of Judea. Glorious Weather. Despite the many gloomy and en- tirely disagreeable days this fall, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and now to- day, have been ideals of temperature. 1t was glorious to have such a beautiful Saturday after so many rainy ones, when our merchants had such tempting displays 'of holiday goods to invite buyers. We doubt if so many‘country cousins have been seen in our city on any one day, since its new municipal dignity was assumed, as crowded our streets Saturday. We have had with today, four successive days that scarce Could be improved upon. They brought 'us the soft light and balmy air of Indian summer, without the enervating quali- ties of that sometimes elusive season. There'was bracing tonic in every breath, and the exercise of the pedestrian, the wheelman, boatman, or the horseman was an unalloyed delight. Grumble at our changeful climate as we may, we must confess that when it does its best, it is the equal of any in the world. And what a God-given mercy to the hungry and shivering poor of the land is such mild winter weather. ——.—ooo Staff Appointments. Governor-elect Cofiin has made seve- ral of his staff appointments as follows : Adjutant-general, Charles P. Graham of ' Middletown ; paymastergeneral, James H. Jarmen of Hartford ; commis- sary-general, Henry S. Peck of New Haven ; aide, Henry W. Wessells of Litchfield. The balance will be an- nounced in a day or two. Bridgeport Saloons. At a temperance meeting in Bridge. port, yesterday, one of the speakers made the rather startling statement that with the exception of perhaps a dozen, every saloon in that city was open Sundays and that the officials were aware of the fact but wouldn’t enforce the law, while the good Christ- ians complained but without much effect. An Editor Resigns. A. B. Underwood, who for nearly three years has been the city editor of the Bridgeport Standard, handed in his resignation Saturday, to take effect two weeks from that date. He is see rotary of the Connecticut Associated Press (1 handles the United Press for Bridgeport. He is a versatile writer widely and favorably known. Have Secured Work.

' 1008 213. l A Dream of Faderland. , MotormanHe‘nry Matheis, is a man loyal to the traditions of his native Faderland. Once a year,,in commemo- ration of theglorious festal customs of princely Germany, Henry provides himself a culinary treat that’would appallagourmand. Henry works the trolley tiller faithfully for long, wearv hours each day, so that his gastronomic indulgence occurre’d late at night, after his work was done. He secured a fat and plump rufifled partridge for his roast, but even so delicate a game bird would not fill the bill, unless stuffed with “roggen brod,” and-the “brod” heavily laden, with “zwiebel sent.” a delicate flavor and pinch of sauerkraut, limburger, wienerwurst and other deli- catessen, in the genuine -Rhinoland style. ‘ He devoured his roggen-stufi'ed bird, filled in the chinks with a few all hot Frankfurters, seuf gurken, and the like, and washed all down with _his favorite "White Label”brand of bier, blessed God that he was not as other men and went to bed to sleep the sleep of the righteous. This was long after midnight, but the good Henry was “at paece with all the world and the rest of mankind.’ He even forgave and forgot the Rose-Latson conspiracy, and with Sancho Panza’s reverence, devoutly . blessed the man who invented sleep. His wearied body and full stomach started a stentorian snore that would discount 8. saw mill, while his brain was filled with a blissful delirium of happi~ ness. He dreamed that Congressman- elect Hill had his trolley tracks laid over and upon every highway in Nor- walk and Fairfield county. Then he dreamed that Hill coveting new worlds to conquor, had skipped over to the legs endary Rhine, and upon the decks of a long line of flat boats, extending from Coblenz down to Cologne, he had laid his rails and the trolley cars were Whirl- ing down that clasic stream loaded with excursionists, at lightning Speed, and he, Henry, was at the front, holding the brakes and sounding the terrible gong i As his car rounded a sharp curve that approached the famed Mouse Tower, amid—stream, he saw the river blocked with myriad boats, loaded withthe ani- mals of Barnum’s Greatest Show on Earth ! With startled terror and super human strength, he screwed down his brakes and jumped upon the horrible gong with both feet! But the collision was inevitable. His car smashed into the pontoon floating the herd of ele- phants! The largest monster planted his foot square upon Henry’s over- charged breast! Henry knew no more ’till a shriek of terror pierced his ears: “Mine Got in Himmel, Henry, vot vas der madter wid yous ; does yous tries to broke every bones in mine pody? Say Henrys, has yous gone madt and grazv, don’t it?”—came imploringly from the innocent partner at his side. Henry Was aroused, his first excited inquiry being “was anybody killed? ” Then in the eloquent words of the southern Congressman, he exclaimed— “where am I at? It was several hours before he fully recovered his senses and spirits. ' “But no more roggen brod stufiin for my game-birds,” says Henry. Recent Deaths. Burr Rowland for a long time in the boot and shoe busines, died in Dan. bury, Saturday, in the 73d year of his age. He was a native of. Weston, and moved to Danbury when nine years of age.

An Engineer’s Mistake. Frank Gates a well-known engineer on the Consolidated Road was taken to his home at New Haven yesterday morning suffering from internal in- juries. While his train was passing through Milford Gates thought he saw the lights of a train on the track ahead ofhim. The signal was set clear for Gates’s train, but the engineer thought that the signalman had made a mista e. He jumped from his cab and struck an abutment with considerable force and was rendered unconscious. The lights which Gates saw belonged to a train which was on another track. Gates’s fireman brought the train to New Ha- V611. —————-<+ Counterfeiters Captured. The United States Secret Service officers captured a gang of counter- feiters at Bridgeport, Saturday.

About 15,000 of the cargo of 35,000 is unloaded». ‘5 Employed on the craft were William Flynn and Harry Dillon. Yesterday being a fine day Dillon and Flynn started out for a walk and came up town carrying two very heavy loads of liquor. As the two men staggered down Water street they came across Lewis Johnson, whom they assaulted, and as they turned into Chapel street‘they pulled off several pickets of the fence around Merritt’s yard. ~Chie Bradley was notified and in: compa y With Captain Dann started after the offenders. 7 They were found” on West avenue near 0. E. Wilson’s house about 5:30 o’clock. Chief Brad- ley started after Flynn, leaving Cap- tain Dann to arrest Dillon, but the latter .ran across the street and made his escape. Flynn resistedarrest and struck the Chief, who in turn knocked him down and with the assistance of Captain Dann the prisoner was hand- cuffed and placed in a wagon and taken to the station-house. . Before Justice Rose, this morning, Flynn was charged with assault, intox- ication and resistance to the officer, and he pleaded guilty to each count and receiveda fine of $7 and costs, $14.80, and a sentence of thirty days in Jail. The captain of the “Knapp” set. tled the fine. .» ’ ' The question is asked by several “Where did the man get his liquor ?” _ Indeed the justice asked the same ques- tion of the prisoner, who by the way, does not look like a “bad man,” but he, failed to remember. —-————< o a Scofield& Hoyt. These thrifty merchants call attention to their ability to supply Holiday pur- chasers with goods Of useful, lasting, and really valuable kinds and qualities. At their Club- HOuse store, furniture of all descriptions, rugs, carpets, shades, beds and beddings, etc, are to be found galore. At their South Norwalk em- porium, staple and fancy dry goods of all kinds and qualities, including car- pets, rugs, window shades and draper- ies, are spread out in infinite array. Then too no fancy, holiday prices, are asked, but their goods are of better make and lower cost than ever known before. The present prices of dry- goods and fine furniture, are marvels and it would seem, cannot long be maintained. 'Give them a call, and prove to your own satisfaction, that all they say as to stock, qualities andl prices, is absolutely so. ~7~.—< . ,_...___.______ _ Wash its Face. ' A good churchmen desires the GA-‘ ZETTE to cordially thank our city fathers for their thoughtful kindness in placing an incandescent light inside an old time street lamp to light. worshipers who climb Zion’s hill leading from] Wall up to Lewis street, but the church- man says they can make the public debt of gratitude still larger if they will have the old glass lights washed so the electric spark can shine through. The lamp covering is now so loaded with dirt, that even the lightning can- not peuetrate it. So let this lamp’s face be washed. , At Rest. Bete'r Decker, Arthur 0. Wheeler, Wallace Dann, Edwin O.

Paine’s celery compound builds up the body,according to natures plan. The human machine must have fuel. This grand invigorator and strength- ener is able to restore the deliCate nerves to robust health by feeding them rapidly and abundantly with the pecu- liar elements they find it so difficult to extract from the ordinary hearty diet. A great nerve doctor, famous in two continents says that any women whose nervous strength is at all depleted must either take time to rest at any cost or celery compound.
