THE WEATHER—Forecast for to- day: .Cloudy, cooler weather, and rain, the winds on the coast increasing, by to-night, as the Cult ‘cyclone ad- vances northeastwardly to Cape'fiat- teras'. On Wednesday, cloudy weather will prevail, with rain and easterly winds and gales on the coast from Cape Hatteras to Boston, and on Thursday,- clearing and cooler weather. The City Caucus. The Republican city caucus last night Was in every respect a“smooth success.” Every member of the present board of citv officials, from Mayor down, or up, to Sheriff, was sent whirling into a re- nomination by acclamation, with the swift celerity of a toboggan slide. ‘ Wiser or more fortunate selections for our city’s guardians could not have been made. ———-——<+.——— The City Meeting.‘ Yesterday’s city meeting was very properly adjourned, in order that a more definite statement could be made to the' voters, of the probable cast of enlarging. the roadway space on the Bridge and widening and straightening the lines on the south side of Wall street across said bridge from the Wilson building on the west to the face of the Beebe-Maliory stores on the east. The Pavement matter was not reached. Every citizen of Norimlk sees and feels the desirability of both the pro- ' posed improvements, but no prudent business man would at any time, em- bark on such an expenditure without some Freasonable idea of its ultimate cost, and especially, in these stingent I times, should the expense be calculated and stated with reasonable accuracy. That such a statement was not ready yesterday, was a mistake on the part of our cit’y‘authorities, as no hostility was shown to these important improvement by any one. It would be a wise thing forlthe City Council, to see if a low-rate of interest bearing city bonds or notes, would not be accepted by our local Savings Banks, for the cost of this work ‘ and report what the annual interest would be on the same to the next meet- ing. The unanimous feeling at the meeting seemed to be in favor of the improvements being made. provided no present tax was necessitated thereby. Local Political Notes. An effort is being made to get up a Democratic city ticket, but the patriots who are willing to be set up and bowled over, cannot be found. I It is practically settled that John Belden Hurlbutt, in event that Keeler becomes Senator, and John Hogarth Light, will be Norwalk’s representa- tives in the next General Assembly. The “Two Johns” ought to make a brilliant showing in the next legislature as both are good looking, clear headed, eloquent and good lawyers. Ex-Mayor Keele.r’s Senatorial boom is said to be in good shape. “Ed” madeagood Representative and with his experience he will make a good Senator. The Democratic Town Convention meets Thursday evening. It looks as if Frank Hummer Merri‘l will get firrt place almost in a walk. Bradley Stayer Keith, it is now said, is a “quitter,” so far as the selectman- ship is concerned. The license question is a lively one and on the surface it looks as if the ear- nest activity of the "antis” would win ' success. ‘ Town Clerk Smith, Town Treasurer Curtis, and Tax Collector St. John, seem reasonably ,sure of renomination and election. The Republican managers are figur. ing on a majority of not less than 7-50 for the Town ticket. It now looks as ' if Captain “Ike’_' would have a walkover at the caucus to- night, and an easy victory at the poll 1. Some of the ambitious South N orwalk Republicans and Democrats are desir- ous that “Eph” Thomes shall head the Town tickets, but there " is possibly more talk than cider in the proposition. \ The consolidation of the’schools is an important question, but the personality of the “‘promoter” of this movement is so distasteful to our South Norwalk brethren, as to make its fate uncertain. Nevertheless,the plan ought to be given a trial here as it has been elsewhere, and in all cases it has proved beneficial and eminently satisfactory. Q ' BRYAN---Continued. Illinois, :5 to 4 McKinley.

Mr. L Hayden of “’allonia, Ky, is en- thusiastic in his praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says he has used it in his family for yeafs and can safely recommend it to the public as the best medicine in the world for bowel troubles. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale '9)“ E.

Fishermen, for example, and fishmongers, who may be supposed to live largely upon fish, have never shown themselves to be in any measur- able degree more intellectual than their neighbors. Indeed, it may be plausibly argued that they are a. little less so. The truth is, that that particular food which best agrees with. the particular individual, and which best maintains his general health at a high level, is the best for the brain and every other organ of the body, as well as for the whole man. Common experience has long ago formulated the saying that “what is one man’s meat is another man’s poison.” Science now comes forwand to tell us exactly the something, and to impress upon every one of us the ne- cessity of finding out the diet best suited to ourselves and sticking to it. 1 Too Much.

It is manufactured from the fur of a species of Persian eat. ‘Where the Locomotives Are. One hundred and nine thousand loco- motives are at present running on the earth.
