The Daily Gazette, established in 1890
The Weekly Gazette in 1800. ' '
{Another Defender.
Yesterday morning the embryo re-
porter of the News was observed in
close communion with Selectman Das-
kam in the iatter’s Office. A short time
afterward the reporter was. seen dancing
towards his office as though going after
a bottle of Mellin’s Food. Later in the
day he approached a GAZETTE represen-
tative with the remark that, “there was
something good on the editorial page
of the News.” Thinking perhaps some-
thing good had at last appeared, the
editorial page was scanned, when we
were rurprised to find among other
things, a puerile defense of Selectman
Daskam, and an attack on the GAZETTE
for daring to support a popular demand.
Some of the “stuff” (with an apology
to the word for the comparison,) was
so ridiculous that we are forced to re
publish it in order that the people Of
Norwalk may know that they have a
before unknown Dana among them.
The first break is as follows :
“A Daily News reporter this morn-
ing made a thorough investigation into
the method of book-keeping and ac-
counts Of the Selectmen.”
He here also reveals an unknown ex~
pert accountant, who would were he
allowed away from the parental roof
after nightfall, be placed on the inves-
tigating committee.
Following this disclosure Of his abil-
ity as an expert he adds:
“Why there is any cause for an ex-
amination of the Selectmen’s accounts
and method: ‘of book-keeping is very
difficult to understand, and it seems
probable that the tax-payers will not
vote to appoint a committee for that
purpose and thereby bring about an
unnecessary expense to satisfy the per-
sonal enmity of one man.”
From this he appears to have dropped
the expert-business and comes out as
the mouthpiece of Selectman Daskam.
Not satisfied with his debut as an ex-
pert and a defender of the wily Select-
man, he cloSes his efforts with this
startling piece of information:
.“Selectman Daskam expresses a
willingness to open the books for ex-
amination at all times to parties who
appreciate the accommodation.”
'-If the smallest school boy in Norwalk
— dOes not know that the town books are
public property and not the private
property of Selectman Daskam, he
deserves to be relegated to a position
on the News. ‘
That he has not given to the public
~‘ the name of one person who received
one dollm'of the 81,222.45 charged to
the Holmes, Keeler & Selleck company,
has evidently escaped the juvenile re
portcr’s attention, although he does
say that a perfect record is kept of the
names to whom ordeis are given, which
has never been questioned.
But seriously, if Selectman Daskam
is so willing to exhibit his books and is
positive that the proposed investigation
is “the personal enmity of one man,”
why is he afraid that the people will
expend their own money to ascertain
the correctness of those books, and why
has he at the last moment, gone to the
South Norwalk News for a defense of
his accounts in an effort to ward off the
proposed investigation ? '
In the language of the elder Weller,
“It ar a coincidence.”
O
Standing by the Schools.
The National League for the PrOv
tcction of American Institutions in
undertaking to promote legislation for
a biennial school census of the State of
New York is laboring in a good cause,
and great advantage would undoubted-
ly accrue from the success of its efforts.
In fact, the proposed legislation is
. worthy of adoption throughout the
country. In no other way, it is claim-
ed, can the public school authorities be
kept thoroughly posted as to the ade-
quacy of school accommodations and
the facts essential to the maintenance
of the school system on its proper
foundation.
It is one of thevgreatest evils Of the
times, so far as the interests of the
children of school age are concerned,
that notwithstanding the millions of
dollars expended in their behalf, thous-
ands upon thousands of them, in most
of our larger cities are still debarred
from educational facilities, neglected
by the state, idle by force of necessity,
,and by reason of their unwholesome
environments growing up to vicious
habits and furnishing recruits for the
criminal classes. Compulsory school
laws are of no avail where there are no
school houses, and where there is no
actual or reliable knowledge of the
number of pupils to.be provided for,
the number of school buildings will
almost invariably fall "short Of the ever-
multiplying demand.
Hence the movement now in progress
to which many of the most prominent
and influential citizens of the metrop-
olis are giving their earnest co-opera-
tion. A biennial census of the school
children Of all towns having a popula-
tion of over 10,000 would involve «con-
siderable expense, if taken in the way
it should be, but in view of“the benefits
to be derived from it, affecting the well-
farc of society for all time tO‘ come,
the question of cost should hardly fig-
ure as an element Of objection.
State Boardpf Education... .
The report of the StatezBoard of
Education is filledwith interesting in-
formation in regard to the schools .of
the state, and is complete in statistics.
It also contains several illustrations.
There are 241 public and 60 private
schools in the county. Of 4,706, chil-
dren in private schools, 2,850 are in
ecclesiastical schools.
In eleven towns in the cOunty more
‘ is expended for roads and bridges than
for schools, and in one town (Dar-ion)
more is expended for paupers than for
schools. In Stamford schools cost (1893-
94) $72,317. 72; roads and bridges, $38,-
096.77; paupers, $18,371 38.
It is a significent fact, as shown by
reports of tests made in several towns
of the county, that pupils have shown
a lamentable deficiency in knowledge
of rules of capitals, punctuation and
spelling, when writing the most simple
sentences from dictation. Nothing can
be more annoying tb parents than such
a result as this. Very simple examples
in arithmetic given to children who
certainly ought to be able to do them
quickly and accurately, leads the agent
to the natural conclusion that “the
teaching of arithmetic in both the
graded and the ungraded schools come
for short of doing what it ought- for the
child.” .
The result of the examinations in
arithmetic is rather startling. A few
specimens from Norwalk schools are as
follows: The example “a school-room
is6 feet and 2 yards long. How many
feet long is it ‘2” was given to children
11 years of age, 83 tried and 38 failed;
“John’s father is thirty years old, his
mother'is five years younger; how old
is his mother?” was given to children
of 10 years, 94 tried and 7 failed; “Hen-
ry has 40 cents. His sister has 4-5 as
many. How many has his sister?” 101
tried and 55 failed. The following was
given to children of 15. “3 is what per
cent. Of12?” 22 tried, 16 failed. “Mul-
tiply 009 by 28,” was given to children
of 13 years, 60 tried, 12 failed. “Five
is what part Of 20?” was given to child-
ren of 13 years; 50 tried and 40 failed.
“What is the interest at 5, (6 or 8) per
cent of $300 to January 1, (next year)?
Twenty—one tried and 7 failed. Seven~
teen children were asked what 1,850
bushels of wheat would cost at 37%- cents
a peck. Ten of the number failed.

O’Hara-Colgan.
The marriage of Miss Catherine Col-
gan, daughter of the late Dennis
Colgan, to Dr. William J. O’Hara, was
solemnized at St. Mary’s church,
Bridgeport, this morning, by Rev.
Fat-her Rogers, after which a nuptial
high mas was celebrated, Rev. R. J.
Carroll being the celebrant. Several
members of the Catholic clergy from
different parts of the state were present.
The bride was attired in a costume Of
white duchess satin with pearl trim~
mings and point lace. She carried a
white ivory prayer book. The groom’s
present to the bride was a handsome
diamond brooch which was used to
fasten the bridal veil. The bridesmaid,
Bessie Colgan, a sister Of the bride was
attired ina costume Of corn colored
silk, trimmed with violets and point
lace, with a Gainsborough hat to match.
' A reception was held this afternoon
at the home of the bride’s mother on
Clarence street. The bride has a large
number of friends and relatives in Nor-
walk, among the latter being the Misses
Maggie and Mamie Colgan. It was one
of the most fashionable events of re-
cent date, in Bridgeport society. It is
seldom that the bells of a Catholic
church are pealed at a wedding, but
this was an innovation at this wedding.
Miss Colgan and her late father were
the Sponsors Of the bell now used at St.
Mary’s church, having presented it to
that church about four years ago. The
bell rangachime at the opening and
closing of the wedding services.

Town Court Hearing.
The town court bill was before the
judiciary committee of the legislature
at Hartford Wednesday, and there was
a large attendance Of the local attorneys
with a few citizens and public officials.
Messrs. Light, Hurlbutt, Taylor,
Gregory, Frost, Honnecker, Gray,
Hubbell, Town Counsel Warner, and
City Attorney Lockwood and also
Selectman Raymond, Councilman R.
H. Golden and editors Golden and
Crowe; and last but not least, the
“irrepressible” Jerry Donovan who
alone Opposed the bill in his best style.
Attorney Hurlbutt presented the merits
of the bill and his remarks were sup-
plemented by those of Messrs. Light,
Lockwood and Frost, while Jerry had
several innings. There was no intima-
tion on the part of the committee what
their report would be but the fact that
they gave Mr. Donovan one Week in
which to file written objections leads
some to suppose that the passage of the
bill is by no means assured.

An event of no little importance wiZl _
be the coming to Hoyt’s Opera House ‘
of Charles. Hoyt’s musical trifle. “A
Trip to Chinatown." This is the play
which bears the proud distinction of
havmg run a greater number of con-
secutive performances (656 in number)
than any other attraction, either farce,
opera or ' otherwise, on the American '
stage. _. .
' Horr’s OPERA HOUSE.
“The Tornado,” Lincoln J. Carter’s
realistic play which received. its initial
presentation at Havlin’s about a fort-
night ago, will return to the same thea-
tre for the coming week. The realistic
features of the piece as shown by its
previous presentation proved to be the
most elaborate of any of the attempts
in that line that have been seen in Chi~
cago._ The tornado scene in which
buildings are swept away and whirling
masses fly hither and thither on the
stage, is a more ambitious effort along
the line ofire‘alism than the storm scene
in the. Davenport production of Sar-
dou’s Cleopatra. The play which the
author has fitted to his realistic effect
contains human interests and natural
results and combines with the mechani-
cal features to make an interesting pro-
duction. “The Tornado” is already
booked in some of the large cities of
England, although it has had less than
a month of existence.——Tribune.

GTON, Jan. 31.——Constil"General
Mills. at Honolulu, inc report to the state
department, submits a statement showing
the merchandise imported by the Van-
couver. Canadian and Australian line for
nine months.'which. he says. Will- give
some idea. of how this line is encroaching
on the business heretofore enjoyed by
American steamships and is indicating
an English source of supply for the Ha.-
'wiian market which has hitherto been ex-‘
cluélvely American in the particular goods
enumerated. Most of these are staple ar-
ticles of export from California,upon which
the American line of vessels plying be
tween the islands and San Francisco rely
for'the freighting business.
Consul General Mills says it is notice
able that the amount of freight which the
Canadian oteamships bring in is increas-
mg.
count, and what those vessels may lose in
the way of freight, when the goods are '
sold, is more than made up by the large
subsidies which they receive, from the Brit-
ish government. In th% list of merchan-
dise imported by Canadian steamships
submitted by Consul General Mills, among
others, are the following items:
Lime, 8,100 barrels; flour. 6, 000 barrels;
bran, 525 tons; rolled barley, 250 tons;
whole barley. 00 tons; oats, 250 tons;
Wheat. 200 tons; posts, 2,700;jshingl_es,,
592 bundles; lumber, 4,771 pieces; regs,

‘THE EXECUTORS SUSPECTED.
A _Possibie Motive For the Theft of Mil-
, . _,_1_ionair,e Fair's Will. ‘ ' _ .
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3I.--'The attor-
neys for all parties interested in the will
of thelate ex-Senator James G. Fair met
in conference regarding the theft of the
document from the county clerk’s vault.
The counsel for the Fair children maintain
that the pnrloining of the will was in the
interest of the executors. It is claimed by
some that the will filed in the county
clerk’s office is a forgery. It is stated that
after Fair signed the Will, which was'a long
document, in 13 single shoots, .gix sheets
were removed and others substituted con-
taining the provisions creating the trust,
the conditions under which the executors
act. and disinheriting any children who
might be born to Charles L. Fair, the sur-
viving son. It is said that the substituted
sheets of paper were of a. different manu-
facture from the others, and some also as-
sert that the thefts designed to cover up
this discrepancy. There is no clewto the
robbers, but the deputy in the county
clerk’s office rests under suspicion. - .. ,
