General Gordon’s Flag.

There was a. remarkable scene at the
conclusion of Senator J. B. Gordon’s
lecture on “Last day of the Confed-
eracy” before the Rochester Lincoln
club. General Gordon spoke for two
and a half hours, and iii-closing said:

"AsI stand here to-night, in your
presence and in the presence of the
great God who is the judge of us all, as
the selected chief of all the living Con-
federate soldiers, I want to present to
you my honor, the honor of all the liv-
ing Confederates, the honor of a great
people, that we are ready to join with
you in waving aloft this proud banner
there he caught up the American flag
from the table and held it above his
head,) and we join with you all who
love that flag in saying that by God’s
(help there shall never come to it one
blot or stain, that as long as the ages
remain that flag shall be the most
proud and potent emblem of human
freedom in all this world."

The large audience arose as one man
and fairly went wild with enthusiasm.
Old sdldiers rushed forward with tears
streaming down their cheeks and greet-
ed their former foe. General Gordon
was much affected.

 

Silver and Wheat.

When wheat went up and silver down
before election thus disproving the
liopocratic assertion that wheat and
silver always went up or down tbgether,
the followers of Bryan asserted that the
rise in wheat was a political dodge and
that the money power was booming
wheat to elect McKinley.

After McKinley’s election one would

naturally suppose that Hanna and the
money power woul i have lost all interest
in wheat and have let the bottom fall
out of the market. But wheat is still
on the advance, and the public is left
to draw the conclusion that the Pope.
cratic assertion that theprioes of wheat
and silver always fluctuated in unison
was pure moonshine or that Hanna and
the. money power are losing heaps of
money in giving wheat a fictitious value
after the only 'object for doing so has
been-attained.
E The latter is such an unlikely sup-
position that we really think the Bryan-
ites should give up the attempt to prove
that the high price of wheat is due to
any other than natural causes.

What it Costs New Yorkers Daily.
The daily expenditures of New York-
ers, as detailed in a recent article in
the Herald, may be summarized in a
very small space and will be found 11:-
.tremely interesting. '
The Herald says:—

 

 

"We spend $1,-

000,000, more or less, every day in the .

year for a few- comforts and a great
many luxuries. This sum has no rela-
tion to house rent or to the butcher,
the baker, the candlestick maker or‘ to
tailors’ or dressmakers' bills.

It costs us $21,000 daily to put milk
and cream into our cofi'ee, and in order
to produce the 420,000 quarts a herd of
140,00) cows must be housed and fed.

We eat each day 800,000 pounds of
meat of all kinds and somewhere near
2,000,000 pounds of bread. That is
$70,000 worth of the one and $90,000
worth of the other. .

We spend close upon $70,000 a day
for the privilge of either having a seat
in the streetcars or holding on to the
str 1ps thereof. Those who can afford
to takeacab pay out $18,000 for the
pleasure of doing so.

We pay $10,000 a day to be "shaved,
$500.f0r our “shine” and, wonderful
~and woful to relate, $903 for chewing

gum.
For the liquor and wine we drink, we

expand about $140,000 a day, which,
multiplied by 365. makes a snug little
sum. Cicourse we smoke, and 1t is
safe to say that our tobacco costs us
$80,000 from every breakfast time to
midnight.

We‘do not leave too much at the box
oliices of the theatres—only $30,000 per

day.
We are also fond of “chips” and the

fun we have with them causes £130,000
each night to drop from the packet of
the loser into that of the winner.

There you have a short history of
every twenty-four hours in this great
and glorious metropolis.”

Amusements. ' '

 

“Little Trixie.”

To-night , at the Norwalk Opera
House,~we are to be favored for the
first time in this city with “Little
Trixie,”a musical comedy with May
Smith Robbins, a versatile ,little .act-
ress, in the leading role. The Hazel-
ton, Pennsylvania Plain Speaker says:
“Little Trixie was one of the brightest
and best of musical comedies ever pro-
duced in the Grand Opera House. The
entire company is composed of first-
class artists. Miss May Smith Rob-
bins, as ‘Little Trixie’ was the star, and
her acting was superb. The rest of the
c- -1npany dil remarkably fine acting.”

“The Deacon’s Daughter.”
There will be comedy at Hoyt’s The;-
';-: for two nights, commencing to-
zght, by the Lillian Kennedy combi-
nation, headed by the popular sou-
brette. Lillian Kennedy. This comedy

.will be put on with the same care as in

the large cities, and we trust that our
theatre-goers will take advantage of
this fact and have their seats reserved
at once as special arrangements have
been made to have popular prices, 25,
35 and 50 cents, for the best reserved
seats.

 

“The leited Mail.”

Elmer E. Vance’s famous railroad
comedy drama, “The Limited Mail,”
will appear at Hoyt’s Theatre on N o-
vember 19. The play abounds in com-
edy and dramatic passages; is crowded
with startling and thrilling scenes, and
is a series of surprises from first to last,
the story dealing with life on the wit-
roads in the far West. The company
this season is spoken of by the press as
the best one yet brought together by
the management.

“Princess of Bagdad.”

The engagement of Miss Margaret
Fuller in “The Princess of Bagdad” at
Hoyt’s Theatre, next Saturday night,
will bring before the Norwalk public a
new star, who, it is said, promises to
shine in the theatrical firmament in the
years to come as a woman worthy of
success, hard fought for and well-earned
through ability, rather than sensational
circumstances. Miss Fuller is described
as a young woman of brains, beauty,
grace and ambition. Manager Horace
Wall has surrounded her with and ex-
cellent company

Hoyt' s A Trip to Chinatown.
Laura_Biggar and Burt Haverly will
present Charles E. Hoyt’s great,
comedy. “A trip to Chinatown,” at the

Opera House next Saturday night.

This merry creation of Hoyt’s has made

for the author the greatest pecuniary" '

returns of his several comedies. It has

enjoyed a popular run of 656 nights at .

Hoyt’s Theatre, New York. Miss Big.
gar, and Mr. Haverly have been identi~
fied with a triple Chinatown almost
since its firstspiroduction. and will be
seen as the Gay Widow and well and
strong respectively. The cast is a
strong one.

The Best for Children.

“I believe Chamberlain’ s Cough Remedy
is the best for children I ever used. For
croup it is unequalled. It' 15 a splendid seller
with us. —-T. M. ECKLES, Ph. (31., Manager
Wampum Pharmacy, - Wampum, Pa.”
When used as soonasthe first symptoms
appear, that is as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after the croupy cough has
appeared, it will prevent the attack. The
mothers of croupv children should bear this
in mind and always keep the remedy at

' hand. It is .dso the best remedy in the

world for colds and whooping cough. For
sale at. 25 and 50 cents per bottle by E. P.
Weed, Druggist.
