Gratifying Birthday Gifts.
The DAILY GAZETTE acknowledges
its grateful sense ofappreciat‘ion for
its fourth birthday compliment from
the business men of N o'rwalk, of over
one hundred new advertisements today!
In holiday times of haste and hurry,
the masses read the “linelet” advs. in
preference to those of great length.
IQ.
Our Fourth Birthday.
Four years ago“ to-day, the DAILY
GAZETTE was launched upon the uncer-
tain sea of journalism. How swiftly
the weeks, months and years, have
passed awayi What changes, joys and
sorrows, its columns have recorded in
that brief space of time ! How our
town and the world, have progressed in
many important things!
Have our strenuous efforts to keep the
DAILY GAZETTE fully abreast of the
bustling, hustling times, been crowned
with‘a reasonable success? The best,
answer to the question is found in the
substantial manner in which the Non
walk public has sustained it. It is safe
to conclude that the people will support
nothing for four years, that they do not
want. The realty of a newspaper only,
belongs to its owners. Its standing
and existence, are dependent upon its
patrons. If their favor ,be withheld,
its life ceases. That the DAILY GAZETTE
has won its way'to popular favor and
by legitimate, honest means, and-
maintains it through merit, we without
vanity, but with entire gratitude, firm-
ly believe. At the time of starting our'
DAILY, there was an impression among
many, that a one-cent paper, would
mean cheap news and cheap general
management. That false theory has
been thoroughly exploded. In these
days of improved news-gathering facili-
ties, lowest prlces ever known in paper,
and marvelous advances in printing, the
penny journal, when intelligently and
honorably conducted, is the model
neWSpaper of to-day. Let a copy of
the DAILY GAZETTEbc compared with
cOpies of the New 'York Herald, and
Sun, when'they were issued at a penny,
and the above truth will be made
conspicuously apparent. The DAILY
GAZETTE, though only four years old
to day, has attained and rests upon as
solid a foundation as does the WEEKLY,
established ninety-four years’ ago 3 Its
prosperity has not been attained by
the publication of sensations, scandals,
impure advertising or immodest pic-
tures. It has sought to elevate and
improve, instead of to degrade humani-
ty. We have never knowingly,published
a false piece of news, nor failed to give
any important item of local interest.
Its size being necessarily limited, and
its columns usually crowded with ad-
vertisements, our reportorial force are
constantly enjoined to condense every
item into the least spaee possible, con-
sistent with an intelligent presentation
of the matter—a feature particularly
pleasing to hurried people. Yesterday
for instance, our new advertisements
numbered one hundred and three! a
holiday achievement, that breaks all
Norwalk newspaper records. t is one
of which we feel we may justly be
proud as proving the public’s apprecia-
tion of this paper’s usefulness. Its cir-
culation is greater than all local com-
petitors, because ten persons willnbuy
a penny paper to one who will pay
more. But better still, its patrons and
readers are made up of intelligence ,
and worth, the rich and the poor, the
high and the low, and thus embraces
more largely than any other local paper,
all the purchasing classes, because it
embraces the multitude. -
The GAZETTE is recognized by our own
people and by its contemporaries of the
press, as an enterprising, fearless and
uprightly conducted newspaper. No
vicious or dishonest paper can win
respect. either at home or abroad.
In our first issue, Saturday December
20, 1890, was uttered the following senti-
ment, and we leave it for our friends to
say, how near we have come to a reali-
zation of our then untried expectations:
“We hope to attain so near to our
own ideal of excellence, as to win the
favor of all our people and render, the
DAILY GAZETTE not only a welcome,
but an indispensable visitor at every
office, store, shop and fireside in Not-
walk.”

The next Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Mrs. Angenette J.
Peavey, owes her position entirely to the
women who took such a decided stand
for- representation in the, Republican
State Convention. T wo years ago the
Republican managers promised the office
to a public school mafi‘of marked ability
because he at that timewvithdrew to har-
monize certain factions in the party, but
the new demand for representation made
by the women forced the delegates in the
Convention this year to ignore the ad—

That Mrs. P'eavey will bring' consider-
able executive ability to the post all who
know the lady admit, but whether it is
possible for a woman to deal in a practical
manner with the obligations required by
virtue of that office remains to be demon?

is known as a. rank Populist, whose ad-

Waite could not stand the man, and or‘

prosecution to withdraw from the race
for renomination. .

LOOK AT THE GIRLS.
They Consider Themselves the Shop Win-

“Well,” said a young lady of observa:
tion to a reporter, “that professor down
in Richmopd who thinks he is going to
stop the boys from looking at the girls of
his college by force of municipal ordin-
ances may be clever as a schoolmaster,
but so far as human nature goes he
doesn’t know as much as the youngest of
his students—that is, if they’re all girls.
Not look at the girls, indeed! Why, he
- might just as well try to grow beans by
algebra. You see, the schoolmaster has
overlooked the great fact that this city
lawis aimed at the-girls as much as at
the boys, for if the boys can’t look the ‘
girls can’t be looked at, and that busts
up the whole econoniyuof nature. You
can write it down. for me, please, that it’s
the smallest, queerest, specimen of pro.
hibition on record, and has got no more
zliance of succeeding than I have of being
elected captain of the Salvation Army.
“\Vhy, we girls consider ourselves the
shop windows of the universe, and we
wouldn’t exist if we weren’t looked at.
It’s bred in us. Life’s a failure if we
young women don’t get locked at or
locked after, and if you meet with any
who complain of this attention just put
it up that that’s only another way of
carrying the news to Mary—her particu-
lar method of showing the rest of us that
she’s in it.”—Chicago Tribune.

“The Country Squire” may' truth-
fully be said to be the greatest rural
play ever produced. Even since its
first production, last fall, its season has
been a series of artistic and financial
triumphs, until Manager E. A. Hig-
ginssays he has simply been deluged
with requests for return dates. The
scenic effects are said to be marvelously
realistic and to reproduce in a start-
lingly life like manner the localities
The play will

DIED FOR LOVE.
that a ;Gentlewoman
‘5 _ _ Told. ' '.
There is genuine pathos in this recital
, A Ghost Story
silver-haired gentlewoman.
“I remember the trouble it made when
my Aunt Patty died,” she said, “I was a
tiny girl then, but not too young to take
notice of everything. My aunt was a
beautiful young woman, just turned 20.
She had been, so they said, ‘crossed in
love.’ Her father, my grandfather, was
the soul of strict integrity. Some one
brought him in a tale that his daughter’s
lover had been dishonest, so she was bid-
den at once to give him up. She obeyed,
though it broke her heart. She died three
months from the day of their parting,
and one week before what was to have
been her wedding day. They buried her
at the foot of the garden where grandma,
sitting at her window had sight of the
grave.
“She sat there more than ever after
Aunt Patty died. one afternoon, about
4 o’clock, we saw her start up crying out
to her husband, ‘Patty is coming backl I
must meet the child.’~
“She ran out to the garden gate, went
inside, and for an hour We saw her walk
up and down, her lips moving sometimes
as though in speech with some one beside
her, sometimes shaking her head as
though dissenting to something she
heard. All summer this went on—if she
told grandfather anything he kept it to
himself, though he was very graveand
quiet. He grew graver still, when, in
October, it was proved to him that Aunt
Patty’s lover had been falsely, even mal-
iciously accused. But grandma’s face lit
up. She laid her hand on his head, and
said, with streaming eyes, ‘Thank God!
The child can now rest in her little
bed.’
“She was right. Poor Aunt Patty never
came again. I have always fancied her
urging her mother to proclaim her lover’s
innocence. Grandmother had Scotch
blood, which, perhaps, made it possible
for her to see what was hidden from the
rest. Anyway, to the day of her death,
she maintained that throughout those
- three months upon each afternoon at4
o’clock, she had seen her dead daughter
rise from her grave, float up the garden
walk, and beckon the mother out to her.
N 0, nobody ever said grandmother Was
touched in her mind. On the contrary,
she was noted for her clear head and good
judgment. W'hether she really saw or
heard anything I cannot say, but I am as
certain that she thought she did as that I
am talking to you at this moment.
“Fair” Verses and a. Joke. '
It is related of Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes that at a country charitable fair
he was entreated to furnish a letter for the
post office. He seized a sheet of paper and
between its folds placed a, one dollar bank
note. Turning to the first page he wrote
the following:
Dear lady, whoso‘er thou art
. Turn this poor page with trembling care,
But bush, oh hush, thy beating heart,
The one thou lovest will be there!
r The page turned enclosed the attractive
greenback. 0n the third page, opposite
the banknote, he wrote: ,
Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
If this is not a truthful letter;
This is the one thou lovest well,
And naught (0) would make thee love it
better.
The Stones of the Months.
The emerald is supposed to be particu-
larly lucky to those born in the month of
May. She is also to be wealthy, and to
possess an eloquent tongue. The cat’s-
eye belongs to June, the ruby to July, the
’ moonstone to August, the sapphire to
September, and the opal to October. The
name may be regarded as a synonym for
hope, in the beliefs of the ancients. The
topaz is November‘s stone, and the tur-
quoise is J anuary’s, and the pearl belongs
to February, the jacinth to March, and
diamonds to April.
