Armenian Horrors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LuReslstecl the, Ch}ef., , .

The schooner "J. C. Knapp,”’Capt.
Reddy lies at Wilson’s Point with a
cargo of brick for New Canaan parties.
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.

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.

_ 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.

there was sadness and the weary looks
of despair.

. Mrs. Jennie A. Ruff, whose portrait
is given above, writing from her home
in Sebewa, Mich., says :

“My husband has had a stomach
trouble for over a year, from ~which he
suffered the tortures of a daily death.
He could scarcely eat anything and
what he dld'eat soured on his stomach
and caused him to bloat so terribly
that life was only a burden. He tried
Paine’s celery compound and in a short
time was surprised to find that he could
eat anything with no bad effects. The
bloating is all gone and his stomach is
in good condition.

' “I had suffered for years with spells
of sick headache ; pen cannot describe,
what I suffered at such times. For the
last two years I noticed that my ner-
vous system was getting all out of
order; I had no appetite and was get~
ting to be a mere shadow for my former
self“ I was nervous”, weak, could not
rest. nights, and felt gloomy and low
spirited. Before I had taken one bot-
tle of Paine’s celery compound 1 be-
gan to feel like a new person, and now
after taking six bottles, I am enjoying
perfect health. I have not had a spell
of Sick headache in over a year. My
nerves are all right, my sleep is like
that of a healthy child, and I feel more
like one than like a woman of thirty.
I do all my own work and bless Paine’s
celery compound for what it has done
for me. and mine. ‘

“We have used in our family 12 or 15
bottles of Paine’s celery compound.
Doctors’ bills are now unknown in our
family.” .
