Of course no clews were secured.
They never are when such folly pre-
vails. It is a fact that fully three quar-
ters of‘all the rascals in New York,’are

Cheering Outlook.
'l‘here are very few political news-
papers in the United States whose arti-
__ else on trade, finance or the business
situation are entirely free from parti-
san bias. When times are good the
organs of the party. out of power,
whichever paity it may happen to be,
are inclined to argue that, although the
prevailing conditions are cheering, they
are far less '50 than they would have
been but for the mistake made by the
people in the last general election.
The organs of the party in power are
in the habit of claiming every element
and incident of prosperity as a creation
of the dominant party. In bad times
the “outs” put the responsibility unre-
seivediy on the “ins,” while the latter
unite in asserting that the trouble was
handed down from the last administra‘:
tion.
Because of theseghabits of party pa-
pers we regard Republican editorial ad-
missions that good times are coming,
and that the advance guard is here, as
possessing more value than similar
statements in administration organs.
For instance the declaration of the St.
Louis Globe that “All the signs show
that the business recovery which has
set in is likely to be permanent,” is ex-
tremelyrcncouraging. Another West-
ern Republican paper, the Minneapolis
Journal, finds that “the times are not
nearly so hard as they used to be.” It
prints interviews w1th a large number
of jobbers in that thriving city as to the
condition of trade. “The story,” it
says, “is all one way.” The jobbers
are “uniformly gratified with the con-
dition of things, and the increase in
their business is estimated all the way
from 10 to 40 per cent., conditions being
more favorable in some lines than in
others. The peculiarly encouraging
feature of the case is the ease with
which collections are made. The mer-
chants are not only selling goods, but
they are getting the money for them,
and they are also getting money ‘ for
goods sold previous to this time. '
'i'hc Pittsburg Times 18 another Re-
publican witness testifying to the happy
change. It finds that:
‘The panic is a thing of the past, and
the country is on the high road to pros—
perity. Old' enterprises are showing
new life, new ones are under way, and
confidence is steadily rising. This is
not to say that the time for caution has
passed, that any prices asked will be
received or any wages demanded paid.
It is only to say that the fever has been
broken, and that the patient is rapidly
gaining itrength. With reasonable
caution and patience, the complete re-
covery is merely a question of time,
and not necessarily along time.”
In Pittsburg, instead of irremediable
disaster, We find this organ of high tar-
ifi', assertingthat “ccmplcte recovery”
is not far ofi”.
The New York Tribune cheerfully
admits that. a “Sllbttlnlial improvement
in business has already appeared,” and
that paper thus accounts for the im-
piovement:
“The people begin to enjoy the fruit
of two overwhelming Democratic de-
feats. Hearty congratulations are in'
a dear for the substantial improvement
in business that has already appeared,
for the measure of success which some
industries have thus far attained in
commanding the home market and re-
opening their works for American work-
ers, for the partial restoration of wages
which has been possible, and for the
restraint of foreign importatious with—.
in such limits that the gold reserve has
hot been exhausted again before new
'. Ji- .7,
people, by wise voting, have helped to
lift themselves from the gulf of disaster
nto which the folly of 1892 plunged the
country.”
The Tribune goes on to give a history
of the campaigns and elections of the
last two years, and claims that the de'
feat of the Democrats has produced
the business revival. It adds :
“This recovery is an anticipation. It
is discounting the improvement which
men have a right to expect when the
coming Congress brings Republican ex-
perience and patriotism and common
sense to bear upon the difficulties of
the country.”
OI
~ "The New Woman. ”
The Chicago ministers are reported
to have declared against the “New
Woman” in their regular weekly meet-
ing last Monday. One of the most
prominent clergymen in that city, Rev.
Dr. P. S. Henson, is reported to have
said in a speech to the brethren assem-
bled on this occasion: "‘I‘he but and
worst work of the devil has been to in-
augurate a war between the sexes—this
-‘New Woman’ movement. If success-
f11l,it means’ the. breaking 11p of the
home.”
We hope that this is a misrepresenta-
tion, for siich remarks are neither
creditable to their authors nor bene-
ficial to society. But whether the rev-
erand gentleman is misquoted or other-
wise, it. is not doubted that many good
men are troubled in mind about what
they call the “New Woman.” Some of
this trouble grows'cut of an apprehen-
sion that the women will be dangerous
competitors with men fer places, hon-
01 s, and emoluments in various callings
of which men have‘hitherto had almost
an exclusive monopoly. That is a nat-
ural feeling. The old maxim,” “When
you get a good thing save it,” inevit-
ably incites opposition to competition.
But it is not necessary to suppose that
the devil has inaugurated a war be-
tween the sexes or that the home‘is
about to be broken up because women
are claiming and getting an enlargment
of their area of activity.
We do not understand that this move-
ment contemplates anything half so
serious as the breaking up of home.
The educated women, the “advanced”
women, are quite as likely to be wives
and mothers and to discharge with
fidelity all the duties of those offices as
the uneducated members of their sex.
In the “good old times” a girl had no
vocation except marriage. She was
taught almost from the cradle that her
chief business was to “make a good
match.” Circumstances in those days
practically rendered marriage compul-
sory. That was not by any means the
ideal condition of social life, We be-
lieve it far better for both sexes, for
society and for the home, that girls
should have such training'as Will enable
them to earn a living in the various
callings for which they may be fitted.
Thus equipped their chances for happy
marriage will be increased, while they
will not feel the compulsion of necessi-
ty to marry.
This movement is not so very “new”
after all. It began in this country half
,a century ago with a demand for
changes in State laws that were brutally
unjust to women. Agitation was kept
up till the desired changes, some statu-
tory and others constitutional, were se-
cured. The next step was liberal edu‘
cation for women, colleges where women
could have opportunities to acquire
learning, just as their brothers acquir-
ed it in hundreds of colleges for males
only. Such institutions were establish-
ed, mainly through the generosity of a
a few wealthy men of liberal views.
They have educated thousands of wo-
men, a few of whom have entered vari-
ous professions, while a great majority
have found their mission in marriage.
They have waged no war with men, nor
have they broken up homes.
In the past thirty years women have
entered into many fields of usefulness
that were not formerly open to them.
Some cf these occupations are new,
having been created by the advance of
practical science. In others women
have displaced men because they were
more desirable. But the change has
not been productive of evil results, and
his furnished no 'cause for alarm. The
“new woman,” like her predecessor, is
in favor of peace between the sexes, and
has no intention to break up the home.

Some Gems.
Another graphic letter from Con-
gressman Hill appears today in his
favorite newspaper. Among its many
gems we have room only for these :
“Since I have been in this country, I
have seen the opening to a silver mine
dug into the face of an almost perpen-
dicular rock, twenty-five hundred feet.”
“I have sailed up the Columbia to the
Cascades, I have Watched old Rainear
as it lifts itself fourteen thousandflfeet
above the sea, I have followed the
curves, and loops over the Siskiyon
range and laughed in Suaeta’s face, but
none of these compare in awfulness and
magnificence with the glories of the
Kicking Horse Pass and the canyon of
the Frazer.”
Two Runaways.
Robert McCormick is confined to his
home to-day by reason of serious in-
ju‘ries'reeeived in a runaway accident
yesterday afternoon. He was at Win-
nipauk taking orders for the New York
Grocery store, when a portion of the
harness broke, causing the horse to run
away. McCormick was thrown outand
striking on his head was rendered un-
conscious. He .was taken to his home
and Dr. Baldwin was summoned, and
found an ugly wound on the young
sprained ankle and numerous bruises
about his body. The wagon was
wrecked.
About three hours later, Frank5Rior-
dan and his brother Martin started out
with the same horse hitched to another
wagon. When on Main street near
Union avenue, one of the wheels of the
wagon caught in the Street Railway
tracks and the front axle was broken.
Both of the Riordans were thrown-out
but fortunately escaped serious injury
other than to their wearing apparel.
The horse managed to free himself from
the wagon and ran down Main street as
far as the Skiddy block where he was
stopped by Royal Adams.

Superior Ocurt Cases.
In the Superior court, criminal side,’
yesterday afternoon, the following sen-
tences were pronounced :
Mrs. Maria Godson of South Norwalk,
charged with. keeping a disorderly
house, permitted her bond of 3200 to be
called rather than put in an appearance.
Mary Kelley was surety on the bond.
Annie [Mead of Norwalk, charged
with keeping a house of ill-fame, plead-
ed guilty and was sentenced to thirty
days in the County Jail.
George Booth of Norwalk, for fre-
quenting the house kept by Annie
Mead, was sentenced to sixty days in
jail.
William B. Mackey the flimefl1mmer,
who attempted to swindle A. H. Hoyt
of this city, pleaded guilty and was sen-
tenced to thirty days in jail. . ,
Michael ‘ Demot, the Whistleville
Italian, who seriously assaulted Charles
Hanks, of that place and was placed
under a $500 bond, forfeited the bond.
The assault was committed Jan. 27th,
and George,Queen was his surety.
The most severe sentence of the day
was passed on John Conroy of Bridge-
port' who was arrested April 18, charg-
ed with stealing a purse containing

The Damage Less Than $3.000-
Shortly after 9 o’clock, this morning,
adense volume of smoke was seen issu-
ing from the roof of the building on
Wall street, for many years occupied
as a dry goods store by the late Chol-
well Gruman and familiarly known
in former days as “The Old Bridge
Store.” For some reason no one gave
the alarm until Joseph Matheis’ atten-
tion was attracted to the smoke, and he
at the “top of his lungs” halloaed Fire!
Firel
Capt. Meeker of the fire police hap-
pened to be passing and he pulled box
15 at Hale’s corner drug-store. The
box at first refused to work, but later
the alarm sounded. ~In the meantime
Phoenix Engine company had madea
connection with. the hydrant in front of
Hayes’ news office, and the Hope Hose
boys had connected With a hydrant at
the corner of Knight street. The sup
ply wagon was quickly on the scene and
a cennection was made with the hydrant
near the Boston Stoi'e. The Pioneer
boys were also quickly "on deck” but
met with some delay in getting their
truck out of their house. the tongue
striking the doors before they were
fairly opened. ‘
Three streams of water were turned
on the burning building and it was not
long before the flames were drowned
out. _
The fire originated from a defective
stovepipe in the attic of the building.
The chimney rests upon the floor and
is almost as full of holes as a seive.
Patrick Slattery occupies the second
floor as a. barber shop. ‘ On Monday
last he built a fire in his stove, but let
it goout yesterday. This morning, he
kindled a new fire and in about fifteen
minutes after he started it, was told
that the building was on fire. He satis-
fied himself that such was the fact and
was not long in hustling his belongings,
including several canary birds, out on
to the street. ' His loss, which is mostly,
Caused by water, will not be in excess
of 3200. N 0 insurance.
The first floor and basement is occu-
pied by Messrs. Jones & Hotchkiss as a
crockery store and the senior member
of the firm estimates their loss at 31, 000,
on which there 1s an insurance of 32,-
500 with Coolidge & Lynes.
The building 1s owned by Manice De
F. Lockwood and is damaged about
$1,000 which is covered by insurance
with Cowles 135 Merrill. I
It is many a day since there has been
such a crowd on Wall street, and "the
firemen were complimented on all sides
for the manner in which they handled
the fire and prevented its spread to
adjoining buildings.
E. J. Wadhams’ grocery store and
market next door received its sha1e of
water and more or less damage was
done to coffees and teas. His loss is
covered by insurance.
Superintendent Hoyt of the Fire
Alarm system says that after 'he found
that box 15 would not work he ran to
the Green and rang in the 15 box alarm
from box 62. , He assigns the cause of
the box not ringing to the fact that a.

Under the above head the cautious
and conservative Bridgeport Standard
states that Mr. Gray of Norwalk is the
second lawyer whose testimony has
been discredited and which so reflects
upon the bar that lawyers throughout
the county deplore it. In detail, the
Standard further says:
“Within the past two weeks two well-
known lawyers of the Fairfield county
bar have been before Judge Curtis in
the court of common pleas, defendants
in civil suits, and in each instance a
successful attempt was made to impeach
their testimony. A week ago judgment
was rendered against Judge James E.
Walsh of Danbury in a suit instituted
by him against William Harris. The
latter placed a number of reputable
citizens of_ Danbury on the stand who
boldly testified that the lawyer’s repu-
tation for truth and veracity was not
up to the standard. The court found
this to be the fact and gave a judgment
accordingly.
Yesterday in the court of common
pleas a jury under'the charge of Judge
Curtis found a verdict against Lawyer
-JcsephA. Gray 'of Norwalk. The ver-
dict sustains the plaintiff, E.- J. Wad-
hams’ testimony. The verdict created
much discussion at the court house to-
day among the lawyers. Mr. Gray had
a notice of appeal immediately filed.
If the supreme court sustains the de-
cisions of the lower courts, both Judge
Walsh and Attorney Gray may be

Generous and Sensible.
Tho Tramway company notifies the
public of its intention to convey pas-
sengers from Norwalk and South Nor-
walk, alike, to Gregory’s Point, for one
fare of five cents. This shows good
sense and business sagacity. Now if it
will convey passengers from all the
Norwalks to Roton Pomt and Roway-
ten, for a single fare of ‘five cents, the
GAZETTE is assured by hosts of our citi-
zens that the Tramway’s treasury
would be largely benefitted by the
“reform.” It costs as much to run
empty cars as crowded ones, and cheap
fares always capture ihe multitudes.

East Hartford Bridge Burned.
The famous old bridge which spanned
the Cohnecticut river at East Hartford
was destroyed by fire yesterday. The
bridge was insured for 325,000. The
Bridge Commission immediately met
and gave the Berlin Iron Bridge Co. an
order for a new structure. The compa-
ny ’s attorney has advised the company
not to fill the order until it is settled
who will pay the bill. '
This bridge is the structure over
which there has been so much talk. At
the last Legislature it was loaded upon
the state by the five towns which it ben-
efits. It has been alleged that $35,000
was expended in hiring lobbyists to
keep the bridge 011' the towns. The
present Legislature has _the matter
now under consideration.

The Local Paper.
Governor Francis, of Missouri, 11
man well qualified to know whereof he
speaks, at a recent convention of busi-
ness men, paid a tribute to the local
work of the press in these words:
“Each year the local paper gives
from 3500 to 35,000 in free lines to the
community In which it is located. No
other agency can or will do this. The
editor, in proportion to his means, does
more for his town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness w1th men he
ought to be supported, not because you
like him or admire his writings, but be-
cause the local paper is the best invest-
ment a community can make. It may
not be brilliantly edited or crowded
with thought, but financially it is of
more benefit to the community than
the teacher or preacher. Understand
me. I do not mean mentally or morally,
but financially, and yet on the moral
question you will find most local papers
on’the right side. To-day the editors
of the home papers do the most for the 1
least money of any people on the face
of the earth.
