'I Carlisle is never consistent with him- ‘ self except when he is inconsistent. John G. The oneIIthing of himflpolitically which can be safely predicted is that his atti- tude on any public question to- day is absolutely certain .not to be his attitude to- morrow. For example, there is no side of, the currency problem which at one time or another he has not vehe- mently championed. An advocate of free silver for years, he is at present a vigorous supporter of the single gold standard. His new discovered that the bond bill which the House of of “Representa- tives has passed, and whose provisions be savagely assails, is almost identically the measure he demanded of Congress in his annual reports of 1893 and 1894. He not. only urged, on those occasions the enactment of a law empowering him to issue short term, low-interest bonds, but he had nothing whatever to say about making them payable in gold. “Coin bonds," such as the Government hasalways issued, were good enough for him then. It is only .since' Presi- dent Cleveland began to attack the na- tional credit that he saw a necessity for gold bonds. ., Where Mr. Carlisle will land next it is impossible to 5.1.) His Perfidiou‘s Friend. IThe following false and unjustifiable bit of refined malice which appeared in last Monday’s Hour, though perfectly characteristic of that discredited jour— nal, has naturally caused much surprise and comment. No fact is more notor- ions about Norwaik,’ than 1.1111. years, through thick and thin, evil re- port and state-wide detestation and ab- horrence, Mr. E. J. Hill has held that paper by the tail, backed it financially in its times of need and poured patron- nze into its hopper without stint or limit, and now as is usual, with animals of that breed, when pearls are cast be- fore it, it turns and tends its long-time and long-suffering benefactor. It is true the mean and vicibus as- saultis bunglingly sugar-coated, under the common device of ' having been copied from some other mendacioua sheet. To the dull and leaden compre- hension of the Hour, this act of basest ingratitude, may have been deemed an ~00. for evidence of abnormal independence, or possibly that itwas innocent and funny. If the latter, it is of a piece with the clumsy antics of the trick- elephant, stepping, upon and mashing the pedals of its keeper. Seriously, was Governor Minor-’11 terrible arraign- ment, of this same Zingrate, ever more literally verified, when he charged to his face, that he “never allied himself to a cause or friend, except to betray.” Here is the vicious jibe:— “Hill is ‘t‘ae-weak sister’ of the dele- gation.

State’s Population. The state school enumeration to October, 1895, is completed and that of 1895, with the same showing as 1894, shows an increase in the number of school children of 3,930. This shows an increase in the population of the state of 18, 392 for the year ending October 1895. .-_.._——<+>——-—-——— A Large Patent. The largest patents ever issued from theU. S.

He was a powerful and good looking animal, 11 ad was first owned by Franklin Stevens, the liveryman. The late Louis Druc's- er, who was murdered by Jacob Scheele in 1888, filways hired “Prince" when he wanted a lively horse, and rode be- hind him an hour or two before he was murdered. Mr. Raymond owned him about ten years, and had become great- ly attached to him.———New Canaan~Mes« senger. ...,..,__._. Sowing the Wind. “Sowing The Wind,” is a dramatic sermon on social injustice to woman. and social kindness to man; a lecture picturing man’s moral liberty and the narrow confines of woman’s. freedom. The play is always profoundly interest- ing, and the character drawing is so clever and so skillfully contrasted, the subject is so vital and so aggressively handled and the dialogue has such dii~ tinct value that people of any theatrical intelligence must at once be interested and entertained. To miss “Sowing The Wind" which is to be seen at Hoyt’s Theatre Monday evening, means to miss the theatrical event of the season. -_.,. . 4-»--——-—- -—-- Weed vs. Weed The sensational divorce suit of Mrs. Duisy Weed against her husband, Andrus M. Weed,—of New Canaan, came up in the Superior Court, yester— day, on the defendant‘s motion to strike out part of the complaint that is alleged to be irrelevant. The allega- tions on which the complaint is based are such as cannot appear in print and when the case comes up the develop- ment will be of a most astonishing and unusual character It is alleged that Daisy had an uncomfortable time of it and that she was grossly deceived. At- torney Levi Warner represented the plaintiff and Attorney Cummings, of Fessenden, Carter & Cummings, the defendant. Victims ofa Surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Ferriss were givena surprise party at their home on Harriett street last night, by about fifty of their friends who “ swooped” . down on the house and took possession- of the same, and then proceeded to make merry. The visitors brought musicians and an abundance .of refresh- ments with them. It was not long be- fore Mr. and Mrs. Ferries were as much interested in the proceedings as the vis- itors, and vied with each other in car- rying out the wishes of the callers Dancing, vocal and instrumental music, etc. helped to make the occasion, which by the Way, was the thirteenth anniver- sary of Mr. and Mrs. Ferriss’ marriage, one that they will ever recall only with the happiest of tecolleCt-ions. «i The Hartford Courant is author: DAILY -I NATIONAL GAPITAL.

H, ALLEN, _ Manager Norwalk Opera House:— Some twenty years ago, when Professor Reynolds was in NorWalk, I had the pleasure of witnessing one of his entertainments, and again last evening was present at one. He gives a clean, amusing and thor- oughly enjoyable programme, absolute- Iy free from any objectionable feature. He is an adept in the hypnotic art, and would be appreciated by any person interested in the science of hypnotism. He has generously offered to give a large per cent. of the grossreceipts up- on the last night of his stay in town, Monday. Jan. 6th, for the benefit of the Norwalk Hospital, and the offer has been accepted by the Executive Com- mittee—whose endorsements he has. J. G. GREGORY. Rev.

Holmes, who for nearly forty years has in some capacity or other been identified with the grocery business. in Norwalk, and who for some years past has conducted a wholesale feedand grocery store on Main street, Will on the let of March retire from business. I Mr. Holmes began life in a grocery store at an early age and grew up with the business until some years ago when he formed a co-partuership with his father under the firm name of G. a S. H. Holmes. The firm was- dissolved only at the death of the senior Mr. Holmes who died some years ago. Since that time Mr. Stephen Holmes has carried on the business at the old stand. He retires-not because of a want of p:11ronage,-but to gain a well earned rest from business cares. Scrupulously honest in his dealings with all men he has won the rampant and esteem of, all with 'whom he has come in contract either in a business or social way. Hisfetirement will be re- gretted as it is such active business men as he that are a credit to any commu- nity. —Mr. Holmes told a GAZETTE reporter to- day, that he had not yet decided upon what he should do, but as it is fifteen years since he took a vacation, he thinks that time will not drag heavily on his hands. Speeds Down .the Avenue. A horse belonging to Adams Bros. ran away from in front of their market early this morning while Mr. Adams was engaged in filling up the delivery wagon to which the animal was at- tached. The horse continued at a rapid gait down West avenue to Chapel street and about half way through that street when he was stopped. Steaks, roasts, chops. corned beef, etc, were promiscu- ously thrown out of the wagon in the trail of the runaway. But little damage was done. Sunday Services. Gnca CHURCH—"Rev. S.
