The Government Should Act.
While President Cleveland fishes
serenely in Buzzard’s Bay, while Sec-
etary Herbert visits seashore summer
resorts in the Government dispatch
bout Dolphin, and while the powerful
North Atlantic squadron, under Ad-
miral Bunce, is liesurely combining at
Newport, several hundred American
citizens in China, both men and women,
are in imminent danger of massacre in
its most horrible forms. The apathy
of the administration is almost incredi-
ble. England is preparing, with her
accustomed promptitude, to exact re-
paration for the death of British sub
jects at the hands of Chinese mobs
and to afiord Englishmen and English—
women in China the protection of the
English flag flying over loaded cannon.
But the President and his Cabinet, im-'~
mersed in the pleaSures of summer
recreation, and apparently indifferent
to the honor of the Stars and Stripes
and the rights oqu‘merican citizenship
abroad, are doing nothing whatever.
Admiral Carpenter has a strong squad-
ron of seven ships in the waters of Asia,
and the fine protected cruiser Olympia,
with several smaller vessels, could
quickly be dispatched to his aid from
S in Francisco...-’ Yet, although the
movement against the missionaries is
hourly spreading and each day increas-
es the danger of wholesale murder,
pillage and torture, no news comes of
rders from the State Department for
the speedy concentration of naval pow-
er for 'the protection of imperiled,
American residents in China.

Justice Jackson.
T vote is much that is pathetic in the
announcement of the death of Justice
Howell E. Jackson, of , the Supreme
Court of the United States. The last
ofiicial appearance of this distinguish-
ed jurist was in the income tax case.
The other members of the court had
divided evenly in a matter upon which
n exact decision was of great import-
ance. It is hardly too strong phrase-
ology to say that Justice Jackson arose
from his deathbed to meet an emer-
" gency in his official station and serve
his countrymen in a crisis. His afflict-
ion was of a sort that always suggests
death as the ultimate result, and the
disease had progressed so far that he
must have known that he could esti-
mate his remaining time on earth only
by months, rather than by years.
There was an element of bravery and
philosophy in his last performance of a.
sacred duty from ’which he might have
been easily excused that invites a kind-
ly tribute. t was not unexampled or
unparalleled; but it was manly and
worthy to be recorded among the deeds
of “manly men.” .

The Difference.
Our diabolis asks the question as to whether
the former Mrs. P. T. Barnum is now the
Greek‘s slave—Norwalk GAZETTE.
No. Mrs. Barnum’s husband is de-
scribed as “handsome as a Greek god,”
hence she is now a Greek goddess.—

End of a Strike.
The strike of thirty hat makers at E.
A. Molloy & Sons shop at Danbury has
ended, and in a defeat for the strikers.
The firm engaged men to fill the strik-
cr’s places, and everything is running
as smoothly as before the strike. The
men went out because their employers
would not grant them an increase in
wages.

James H. Lewis Hurt-
James H. Lewis, the well known
horseman, was thrown from his wagon
at Seaside Park, Bridgeport, yesterday
afternoon. lie was unconscious and it
.was fully ten minutes before he re-
gained his senses. His face was badly
scratched, there was a. big cut over his
righteye and his shoulder was badly
bruised. A carriage was found and
Mr. Lewis driven to his home on Broad
' street. A physician was called. His
injuries may not amount to much but
the doctor thinks that he may be in-
jured internally. ‘
A Serious Mistake.
Mrs. Michael Stokes, of Derby-,a
widow, was seriously burned yesterday

A Foolhardy Undertaking.
According to the Sentinel, “C. Ford

will enjoy an extensive bicycle tour.
His route lies fiom Queensland to Bel-
fast, to Edinburgh," etc. If he at-
tempts 13.) wheel from Queensland to
Belfast, he {will find it rather moist
wheeling, and if he accomplishes the
feat his reputation as a bicycle rider
will be second to none in the world.'
According to our atlas, Queensland is
located in Australia.

Against Fire Protection.
Darien’s town meeting, by a vote of
45 to 42, voted down a resolution to
purchase fire apparatus and lay a tax
of 1% mills on the district to pay for it.
The tax would raise about $750, and it
was proposed to expend 3450 for appar-
atus and the balance for a place to
keep it. Twenty-eight women, owning
$130,000 worth of taxable property, or
one-third of what is in the district,
sent a petition to the meeting to pay
the $2,000 debt on the schoolhouse and
improve the roads before buying fire-
extinguishers.

The Afflicted Whaley Family.
The funeral of Addie, the 8 year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Whal-
ey, was attended this morning, the
burial being at Ridge-field.
This is the second death that has oc-
curred in the family during the week,
and five other members of the family
are afflicted with the-disease that caused
the two deaths, i. e., the dysentery.
The family is the same whose afllict-
ion and needy circumstances were set
terday.
Neighbors, as soon as they had knowl-
edge of the needs of the family, came
to the rescue and have since done
much to ameliorate the sufferings and
wants of the afflicted family.
As soon as advised of the situation
yesterday, Selectman Raymond visited
the house, and made arrangements to
have the family cared for. Dr. Baker
who at the same time visited the house
prescribed proper remedies.
It was feared yesterday morning that
two of the children could not possibly
live through the day, but last evening
when Mr. Raymond and Dr. Baker
again visited the house they were of
the opinion that all of the sick ones
showed improvement for the better
and it is believed that they will recover.
The family hails from Ridgefield. and
Selectman Lee of that town being, ad—
vised, of the situation came to Norwalk
this morning and after a conference
with the Selectmen Of this town advised
them to act as they deemed best in the
matter and charge the expense to the
town of Ridgefield. He did not visit
the family, being fully satisfied that the
members would be properly cared for
by our selectmen.
The publicity given to the matter by
the local press has been the means of
exciting thepsympathy of people from
all parts of the town who have contrib-
uted without the asking,garments, food,
and articles useful where sick persons
are to be cared for.
Rev. Mr. Barhite of Westport, in the
kindness of his heart, has provided a
nurse and the care of the parents of the
sick children will be greatly lessened.
Colic Promptly Cured.
CHATHAM, MASS. , March 15, 1894.—
A few days ago when I had an attack
of colic in the bowels I took a. dose of
Chamberlain ’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and within ten minutes
'all of my colic pains had disappeared
{ am highly pleased with the remedy
undtake pleasure in recommending it.

Will Keep Open.
A GAZETTE reporter met Mr. Wad-
hams the butcher, this morning, and
was informed by him that he intends
keeping his store open until after every-
body had gone home. Continuing, he
said, ”South Norwalk has been reaping
a harvest and N orwalk people have
been laughing at our short-sighted bus-
iness policy of closing our stores at 6:30
o’clock.” He'further said that until he
succeeds in having a law passed making
it a crime punishable by death to buy
goods in his line elsewhere he will keep
open as late or as early as public
convenience demands, and make the
quality and prices of his goods as at-
tractive as possible.

Sweizer Family All Right.
A, report that the family of Louis
Sweizer, who is under arrest for an ab
leged murderous assault on John Bar-
thel, were in a starving condition, led

igation. He called on Mrs. Sweizer,
who informed him that she had every-
thing needed at present, as she had
managed to get some money from the
sale of produce, with which to make
necessary purchases. She was very
anxious, however, that Mr. Raymond
secure her husband’s release. This
was something that was out of his
pow er, and he bade her good night.

Locked“the Pump. _
The Stamford Y. P. S. C. E. picniced
at Roton Point on Thursday. The Ad.
vocate says: “Out of respect to En-
deavorers,’ probably, the bar in the ho-
tel was closed during the forenoou, but
the proprietors did not propose to let
the large company go without patron-
izing them to some extent. They look-
ed the pump up with a padlock and
chain, charged twenty-five cents a bot-
tle for soda that is sold at ten cents
elsewhere, and refused to hire a pitcher
to the party for the purpose of making
lemonade, although they had shelves
full of them. The Endeavorers got
even with them by refusing to buy the
soda to any extent, although a few
bought it by the glas9. Shortly before
two o’clock, the entire company went
over to Bell Island, to the end of the
Point, where Charles I ones of Stamford
is summering, to hold a meeting. A
raid was made on the well and then the
meeting was opened by W. F. Water~
