THE EVENING A~GAZET‘TE ’— G. A. R. ORDERS. John H. Thatcher Appointed Assistant Adjutant General. G. W. Cornish, the department com- mander of the Connecticcut G. A. R., has issued general orders in which he makes reference to the suspension and dropping of members for non-payment of dues. He speaks of the delicacy of the question and reaches the conclu- sion that the best policy is for posts “to hold on to worthy suspended mem- bers,” and he thinks that in view of the hard times it is bestto be lenient =with comrades who are in arrears as to their dues. .' As the result of his official visit to the Soldiers’ Home at Noroton the commander pays the institution a high compliment and says that it will com- pare favorably with any similar institu- . tion in the country. Commander Cornish announces that the council of administration has voted to except the invitation of Wadhams’ post to hold the next department en- campment in Waterbury. It will be some time in May, the date to be de- termined by the commander. The council of administration has' directed the commander to appoint a committee of three to formulate rules and regula- tions for the government of the Citi- zens’ corp (auxilliary to the G. A. B.) John H. Thacher, of Hartford, has been appointed assistant adjutant-gen- aral of the Connecticut department, G. A. R, and Colonel William E. Mor- gan, of New Haven, has been appoint- ed assistant quartermaster-general. Mr. Thacher succeeds Colonel J. N. Wilsey, of Hartford. and Colonel Mor- gan is the successor to Mr. Lombard of New Haven. Some Who Don’t Kick: EDITOR Gaznr'rnzélf your correspon- dent “Old Well,” in his article in last evening’s GAznrrE, had known more about what he attempted to write about, he would have said and imputed much less than he did. No one “at the Bridge” is kicking becaiise a part of the South Norwalk procession fell out and returned home after East Norwalk was reached. Individual taste and de- sire only, ruled the procession. A committee came to the “Bridge” late Thursday night from South Nor- walk, and requested our people to join in the celebration arranged at the sister city for Friday night, and not to post- pone it to Monday night as had been settled upon here, so as to have a larger demonstration and the whole display ended. Our boys marched, first of course, the entire South Norwalk line, and then took in, at the necessarily late hour, the shortest Bridge route that covered our densest city popula- tion. Aside from the “prodigiously long”march to and around our twin city, our line would have been a very short one. Had more time been given “we uns,” no doubt our good ladies would have prepared such a spread of hot coffee and sandwiches as they have provided many times hitherto and which would have supplemented any lack of enthuSi- asm our friends ‘may have felt. Now as to “Old Well’s" Georgetown fling: ‘ “Would it not have been better to have” waited until some complaint came from them? They were more than Satisfactorily entertained and “re- freshed” by our Republican club at its headquarters, the club and their ladies, and so expressed themselves. They were unfortunate in the matter of get- ‘ ting home, but “the Bridge” people are not responsible for delayed trains or c rrs jumping the tracks. In short, there is no unpleasantness up here, and why should our smart little twin city of South Norwalk, be jealous of the city of Norwalk, when both are in the same town of old N or- walk, and both and all of us, ought to be all Norwalls and like the American Union—‘ ‘one and indivisible.” THE BRIDGE.

In the morning, when he was awakened, he saw a. stranger opposite him. ‘ “Excuse me,” said the stranger, “may I ask if you are rich?” Somewhat surprised, His‘Lordship replied that he was tolerably well-to- do. "May I ask,” continued the strain. get, “how rich you are?” “Well, if it will do you any good to know,” was the reply, “I suppose I have several hundred thousand pounds.” “Wcll,” went on the stranger, “if I were as rich as you, and snored as .loudly as you, I should take a whole car, so as not to interrupt the sleep of others.”—Graphic.

One of the slickest articles that ever struck this town held forth last night at the corner of Broad and Pine streets. He had a. team from one of the local livery stables and the uSual gasoline torch and valise. With the voice of 3. Midway Plaisance spieler he began by announcing that he “was an honest man,” and would rather throw his money in the street than .take a dollar that did not belong to him. Instead of leaving in disgust at hear- ing this shameless assertion, the crowd drew nearer, anxious to have a good look at such a freak. They drew still nearer—they ivrdged in tight and blocked the street, and they were his’n. He offered some trumpet}: for sale, and threw all the small chmge he re- ceived into the street for the. boys to scramble for. It took. _ The}: liked it, and hollered for more. He sold some trifling “galvanic batteries” at $1 apiece, and then gave the purchaser back his dollar. The crowd grew enthusiastic, and the fakir grew bolder. His next move him a dollar outright, to throw away, get drunk on, or spend as he pleased. A couple of men timidly pushed their way forward, and actually gave him a dollar cash. He took the silver and chuckled with glee. Then pretending to repent having begged anything, he called the donors up and returned each man’s dollar and gave them a dollar as a reward of merit. The crowd began to cheer, and were disappointed when the fakir again of- fered the electric belts for sale. But it was only for a. few minutes, and then he again asked who would “give him a dollar outright and expect'ab- solutely nothing for it." The crowd fell over each other in their haste to reach the fellow’s buggy and make their contributions. He would take :1 dollar from some one, add a few more dollars to it. and then wrap the whole in a greenback, mak- ing nice little rools which he put into his hat. They came so thick that he was obliged to ask the people to wait until he could get their Christmas presents wrapped up. When dollars finally ceased pouring in the hat was full. He placed the tile where all could see it, and began a “song and dance" about what good people they were, and how much he appreciated getting into such a liberal town. He would not be out done in generosity. He would make each of them a present of one of his famous galvanic belts. Yes, he would, by ginger! He talked so rapidly that few could catch the drift of his proposition, but they all stepped up and took the pack- ages olfcrcd them, thus accepting value for their money. Then they fell back and waited until the gentleman threw the hatful of money out into the crowd. . But he did not do it? No. _ - Instead, he said,,“Now, suppose you were in my place. What would you do with all this money?” ‘ Some one on the edge of the crowd answered “Keep it.” “That’s a good suggestion,” said Mr. Fakir, and in 9. tries he had dumped the hatful of money into his valise and snapped the lock. He paused a moment and coolly lit a cigar in the flame of his torch, and the crowd hesitated, paralyzed at his nerve. In that moment of hesitation they were lost (or their money was). for the fakir suddenly seized the reins and drove swiftly around the corner. He did not leave town, thongh, and apparently had no fears for his per- sonal safety. While he was skinning this town a confederate did the same thing in Grass Valley, and the two went away together on the early train this morning several hundred dollars richer for their visit to the mountains. -—3~Lsivadn City Herald. . "—1—“— Saved a Fortune Out of $10 a Week. John Cummings, sixty years old, a laborer in Brooklyn’s famous Green- wood Cemetery, who recently died, left a fortune of nearly $11,000. He had worked as a “common” laborer for forty years and had never received more than $10 a. week. The cause‘of his death was asphyxiation by gas. He was a native of County Tipper- ary, Ireland. He came to this country I’vr n-s worked for some 'years as a farm hand in Ulster County. Then he came to live in Brooklyn and was employed as a stableman bylthe City Railroad Company. Next he got a job as com- mon laborer in Greenwood Cemetery. It was when Coroner Coombs began his search for papers that the discov- ery of his wealth was made. Only seventeen cents had been found in the clothing he had worn the day before. In 'the room was an old-fashioned tin trunk, which contained the dead man’s wardrobe, which consisted of several worn suits and underwear. Among the latter were half a. dozen pairs of winter socks, and in the toe of each sock was found stuffed $5, $10 and $20 bills. When these had 7 were found to amount altogether-to $285. The next find was a bank book be- tween the folds of a pair of trousers. ‘A second one was found in the folds of a vest, a third-in a coat, and a fourth inside of a white shirt. The books were those of the South Brook- lyn Savings Institution, Brooklyn Savings Bank, Brooklyn Dime Sav- ings Bank and the Saugerties Savings Bank. There was a balance in each of $3,000, except the Brooklyn Dime Savings Bank, whose balance was $1,~ 500. .0. l —-Advertise.in the GAZETTE.

She was walking along on University avenue, when she was overtaken by a. bicycle rider who had more speed than courtesy. In place of turning out he rode up to her and pushed his wheel along so that it struck her, but did not throw him off. “I tank I show you how to get off a wheel,” she said, with fire in her voice, “ yes, I tank I vill,” and as she spoke she projected one of her feet at the end of a long and very sturdy leg, and kicked the wheel from under the rider. He fell into the dirt at the edge of the sidewalk as he walked on, and the wheel located it- self on his stomach. And all he could hear as he picked himself up and caressed his bruises was a voice coming to him from a tall, swift: striding Swede: “Ya, ya, I tank I show him; I tank so.” Expected Him, “Is your mamma in?” “What’s your name?” “I’m Mr. Whiteband, the new ister.” “Then I guess mamma’s cxpectin‘ you—’cause she said she’d bet a dol. lar you’d be sure to come on wash- dayl”——Cleveland Post. min- November 10th.
