Piano Contest.
The battle for the ownership of the
EVENING GAZETTE’S handsome $100 pia-
no, is becoming more exciting every
day and the friends .of the contestants
are working hard for their favorites.
To day St. Mary’s school advances
and wrests the lead from Hope Hose
who have held it for several weeks.
But it is safe to say that the fire laddies
will put on their fighting clothes and
make an extra efi'ort to again capture
the lead.
There are thousanls of ballots out
that have not been accounted for and
all of the contestants have an equal
chance to win if they will hunt them up
and hand them in.

Getting Really for Business.
The Prohibit-ion Party is getting it ,
‘self ready for active participancy in a
Presidential campaign. It does not as-
sert a confident expectation of victory,
but it ventures to indulge a hope ”in
that direction. It remembers that
David slew Goliah in the olden time,
and that, in our day, and generation, a
small donkey kicked and stamped the
On these facts,
and other incidents of like import, re

corded in history or handed down by
tradition, the Prohibition Party bases
its unfading hopes that it will live to
see its old enemy the Republican'Party
——the party that contains most of the
friends of prohibition—cold in death at
Just why this party is the unrelent'
ins, implacable enemy of the Republi-
c in organization and gets on q iite ami-
cably with Democracy is one of the
mysteries of politics, a mystery soluble
only by deep student-F of psychology.
The Republicans 11ch passed all the
prohibitory laws now on the statute
books of states, and by so doing, have
incurred disasters in the most reliable
of their strongholds. The Democrats
are, on principle, opposed to sumptuary
legislation, and co‘nsistenly vote against
prohibition as often as they have a
chance. But the Prohibition party’s
maxim is “Death to the Republican
Party," and its proudest boast is that it
caused the defeat of the Republicans
and the success of the Democrats in
1384.
O
Yale At Henley.
The determination of Yale to send a
crew to England to ,take part in the
royal regatta at Henley in July will
arouse widespreadinterest on this side
of the Atlantic this year in that annual
exhibition of aquatic prowess. The
con test will pit the sons of New England
against the sons of old England, and as
American pluck and skill have proved
more than a match for England on
water heretofore in struggles of a dif-
ferent character, there is good reason
to believe that they may do so in this
instance. There is always the inspira-
tion of victory in the Stars and Stripes,
and these are the colors the represen-
tatives of “Old Eli” will carry. More-
over, the splendid record which Yale
has made in races with its traditional
rival, Harvard, is an assurance that
American honor at Henley will be
worthily defended. May the b’est team
win—and may the best team belYalel

Myles Aroon.
An attraction that should appeal to
four theatre gotng public is'that of the
is weet singing comedian Andrew Mack,
who will be seen in a grand production
of the beautiful Irish comedy, “Myles
Aroon” at Hoyt’s Theatre on Friday
evening next, supported by an excep-
tionally large company and presented
in a scenic sense in a manner that
will be with the most important pro-
ductions of the day. Mr. Mack, has
scored an undeniable sucess in this‘
character and is favorably compared to
the greatest actors in his line the stage
hts known. He has a beautiful tenor
voice which is heard to advantage in
the rendition ofa number of his own
compositions. '
Ought to be Repeated.
Rev. A. H. Wyatt of the Methodist
church took for his theme last evening,
‘ A Kindly Word to Christian Young
People on the Card Table, the Dance
and the Theatre.” Owing to the storm
there was not a very large attendance,
and Mr. Wyatt expressed regret that
many whom he wished to reach with
his talk on the subject were not present
His talk was very interesting and ought
to be conducive to much good.
JUMPED THE SWITCH.
Three Freight Cars Leave the Track at
South Norwalk.
Three freight cars were tumbled
down the embankment between Ann
and Marshall street, this morning, but
luckily in such a manner that onlya
brief delay was caused to the regular
traffic over the road at that point.
i The 6:15 freight train from Harlem
was engaged in switching some cars off
on to a siding when one of the cars
struck a snow-clogged switch and
dragged two more cars from the tracks
and down the embankment.
A (3)211 car was completely wrecked
and two freight cars badly damaged.
The wrecker was telegraphed for
from Danbury and the work cfcleaning
up the wreck is being done as fast as
the snowy conditions will permit.
It is not learned that any one was
hurt. '

One Hunbred Years Ago.
One hundred years ago to-day, March
16, 1796, the late Stephen Sinith of this
town was born, and his mother told one
of his daughters there was such a severe
snowstorm and so much snow fell, that
sheen were buried under the snow and
several days passed before they were
dug out.
Threw Away His Canes.
Mr. D. \Viley, ex—postmaster, Black Creek,
N. Y., was so badly afflicted with rheuma-
Lism that he was only able to hobble around
wiih canes, and even then it caused him
great pain. After using Chamberlain’s Pain
llalm he was so much improved that he
threw away his canes. He says this lini-
inent did him more good than all other medi—
