Frederick Douglass.

Frederick Douglass Was one of the
great men of the century, measuring
magnitude by the influence which he
was enabled to exert through a long
and memorable contention. He may
not have been at all times discreet,
adroit or diplomatic in the formulation
of policies on which to conduct the
cause to which he consecrated himself
at an early period in life, but he was
for many years the heart and soul of
that cause and indomitable in its prose.

ution. In the shaping of events which
finally culminated in the triumph of
the abolition crusade no leader in the
fight was more potent. .

It is hardly worth one’s while to un-
dertake an analysis of the forces or the
which the anti-slavery

agitators inspired. The agi-

tation had to be; it was written in the
book of fate; call it what you
i will, manifest destiny or the ordination
of an overruling Providence, it had its
inception and ran its course and did its
work as though by some inexorable
mandate, and it is well enough to leave
the question there. To the results that
followed no exceptions are now taken.
Douglas, of course, lacked the
scholarship of Wendell Phillips and the
masterful rhetoric of Lloyd Garrison,
but the eloquence which he did possess,
and which was felt in two hemispheres
for a generation or morefiwas of Ewell-

motives by
were

nigh apostolic earnestness and in quaint
rugged fashion asserted over the sym-
pathies of mankind an almost resistless
spell. Even sectional prejudice was
moved if not melted by’it.

As to his education, such as it was in
that strange youth of his, it was gained
in a school to the portals of .which his
Northern compatriots were strangers.
It was of such a character, so far as im-
parted to him by others, as was only to
be obtained at the hands of a master or
overseerht the end of a lash. So far as
self acquired it was acquired by stealth.
Later in life Mr. Douglass became one
of the best read men of the day, and
few were his superiors in mental equip-
ment. But it was his Maryland planta-
tion education that gave to him his
wonderful impressiveuess as an object
He who had
a whipped slave, was capable of

lesson upon the rostrum.
been
sending a thrill of emotion throughithe
very platform from which he spoke.

The end came at last. Frederick

Douglass retired from the front. He
became a thrifty man of affairs and
accumulated valuable property. He

conducted himself with a manly inde-
pendence of bearing. He wasafaith-
ful official and honorable citizen. And
he never lost his interest in the cause
of human sufirage as having no limita-
tion in color or sex. It may be that on
thegvery last evening of his life—in the
very last act of his sentient being—the
venerable old man caught a glimpse of
the promised land and of the suffrage
for womanhood, that remains to make
of it a land of universal liberty.

Mr. Douglass was on two or three
occasions a visitor and lecturer here in
Norwalk, upon the personal- solicita-
tion of the Editor of the GAZETTE,
whose friend for many years helwae.
On one of his visits here he was the
guest of Senator and Mrs O. S.Ferry.
He was frequently invited to dine with

I the family of President Lincoln.

It is stated on good authority that
saloons in Stamford are running without

Officers, working upon lines similar to
those of the United States Government,
this condition of things would probably

Recent Deaths.

William B., infant son of MI d
Mrs. Bernard C. Feeney, died on
Thursday. The funeral was held Fri-
day afternoon. Mr. Feenev is the city
reporter of the Hour and has many
friends who will sympathize with him
in his bereavement.

Catherine, wife of Daniel McCarthy,
died at her home on the New Canaan
road, Friday, aged 57 years. Her fun-
eral will be attended from St. Mary’s
church, Monday morning.

Sour Grapes.

When the city council appointed D.
Warren Fitch to be Water Commis-
sioner they made a blunder. Mr. Fitch
is a good fellow. He will do his best,
and try hard to be an efllcient officer,
but he is not competent. Nothing

 

has ever done, has in any way pre-
pared him for this position, and the
fact that he is a neighbor to’ and a
friend of members of the council,
should not have'lod them to, urge his
appointment, or induced the other
members to vote for him. The Water
Commission does not need good fel-
lows, but is greatly in need of compe-
tent and efficient men.—Hour.

The above slurring reflection on the
action of the city council and the abilL
ity of Water Commissioner 1). Warren
Fitch, Wlll be better understood when
it is known that the editor of the Hour
wasareported candidate for the posi-

tion.

 

Wait for the Big, Show.

A manager who expends thousands
of dollars in order that nothing will. be
neglected that might add to the enjoy-
ment of his patrons certainly deserves
succes, and, as a rule, he generally
gets it, if the public would endeavor to
discriminate between responsible com-
panies and those who possess no stabil-

ity. , .
There are plenty of good shows, but,
unfortunately, _ there are hundreds

which are utterly devoid of merit.
Now any one can tell at a glance if
they see a magnificent new store with
massive plate glass windows, :that it
necessarily calls for a great Outlay Of
money to erect- it, and the stock in such
a store is generally of the finest, The
same line of reasoning to theatrical
enterprises; for instance: when you

pensive manner that characterizes
“She Couldn’t Marry Three” company
you can rest assured that there is
money and push back of it. The
beautiful, artistic pictorial lithograph-
ic work, is the finest and the costilest
on the road. No lithographic firm
would attempt that'kind of work with-
out having ten thousand dollars down
to'insure them for loss. This is only
one'of the many items of a great show,
and the same good taste which pro-
vides this beautiful printing will neglect
no other department of the show. So
there is no doubt that the production
of “She Couldn’t Marry Three” is the
biggest show of the season.

_'l‘here IS a deal of drudgery, vexa-

'Mary Anderson used to advise young

The feverish exaltement, the late hours,
the drudgery of rehearsals, :the unnat-

them. That is why Paine’s celery com-

“It-is with great pleasure I write to

Marie Tempest also, and a host more
of the most eminent artists who appear

Their testimony is noteworthy because

Women in everywalk of,,,life-:;have

Dartmouth, who discovered Paiue’s

peculiar weakness of the sex. 'He knew

that the backache, lassitude, headache,
