The Annual State Convention Will Meet in
Norwalk Next Fall.
The executive committee and the
honorary vice presidents of the Con-
necticut Christian Endeavor Union
held their seventeenth conference at
the Y. M. O. A., Hartford, Tuesday

read from the presidents of thirteen
local unions, showing favorable condi-
tions. The discussion on lookout com-
mittee work in local unions was led by

vention held in Norwalk in October or
November. 1897. The Rev. H O. Sher-
wood, of South Nor walk, spoke of state
convention matters. James F. Wil

tional convention, to be held in San
Francisco, which will begin on July 29
and continue for a week. The trip will
require three weeks and will cost $125,

and the Rev. C. H. Buck, of Bristol.
The latter is the president of the state

A Colored Tribune Supplement.
The American people live such busy
and bustling lives, whatever their oc-
cupation, that they do not take enough
time for recreation. In many cases
there is no opportunity even if there
were time for enjoyment. It is in re-
sponse to what it considers a need of
the times, that The New York Tribune
has resolved to issue a colored supple-
ment of 16 pages, full of political car-
toons, portraits of prominent people,
comic pictures, jokes and entertaining
matter, to the readers of its Semi-
Weekly paper.
While primarily intended for the
young and for those members of the
family who haveIa craving for lighter
reading than politics or business, this
supplement, which is entitled “Twink-
.Ies,” promises to be of interest to every
member of the family. There is great
need for'a low priced popular humor-
ous weekly in this country. The pres-
ent pictorial weekless, whether printed
in black or in colors, all sell for 10 cents
a copy, or for $5.00 a year. The Tri-
bune’s colored supplement is virtually -
THE EVENING GAZETTE
a 5 cent pictorial weekly, in severa’i"
colors, worth $2.50 a year. At this
price. however, it would be expensive,if
sold separately. but it is to be sent free
to every subscriber to the Semi-Week-
ly Tribune who sends to The Tribune
direct the regular price of $2.00 a year.
This is a bargain, considering the fact
that The Tribune is incapable of send- ,
ing into any family anything which
is unfit to be read there.
It is to be noted, in connection with
this matter, that the craving for color
and innocent entertainment, if not
gratified by a reader’s favorite paper,
will, in these times, lead him to buy
less desirable publications. The Tri-
bune is a great, safe, clean family
paper, and in adding “l‘winkles” to
the attractions of The Semi-Weekly it
has borne distinctly in mind, in the
make-up of the supplement, its obliga-
tions to the family.
To get “l‘winkles,” subscribers must
order from The Tribune direct.

A Cure for Croup.
The following receipt is handed the '
GAZETTE with the assurance that it is a
sure cure for any ordinary case of
croup. It is certainly worth trying:
One teaspoonfnl of g1 ycerine, one tea}
spoonful of turpentine, mix With four
tablespoonsfuls of water and give one
teaspoonful of the mixture every fif-
teen minutes until relieved. , Afterward
a teaspoonful every two hours until
cured. Always stir the mixture thor-
oughly before administering and rub
the throat well with turpentine.

Workman Caught in the Shafting.
Charles Green, an employee of the
hat factory of Durant & Andrews, in
Bethel, was seriouslysif not fatally hurt
by being caught inthe shafting yester-
day. He was making repairs when his
clothing caught on a belt, and he was
drawn up to the ceiling and was held
until the machinery was stopped. Mr.
Greene’s'escape from instant death was
miraculous. No bones were broken,
but internal injuries were sustained.
Danbary Trolley Plans.
A company of Danbury capitalists
are reported to have taken steps toward
securing from the coming General As-
sembly a charter empowering them to
establish an electric railroad from
' Danbury through SugarlHollow to
Ridgefield, and thence to Golden’s
bridge. Last week another company
gave notice of a similar, intention along
these same lines and the new company

in favor of joining the Relief Corps in

Not Unfriendlyzto Trolleys.
Judge John M. Hall, vice president
of the Consolidated road says that his
company is not opposed to electric
street railways and that where they are
needed they should be established, but
where electric roads parallel a steam
railroad, where there is no immediate
demand for such a road, then summary
action should be taken.
' O
AMUSEMENTS.
The Octoroons.
Thepatrons of Hoyt's Theatre who
attended the performance of Johh W.
Isham’s Octoroons, last night, were
the attraction. Not only was it one of
the best entertainments ever given in
Norwalk, but the singing was of high
order, and the several participants re-
ceived well merited encores. The
company appears again this evening
and those who failed'to be present last
night should not fail to see this really
fine organization.
The Black Crook.
The “Black Crook,” with its magnifi-
cent splendor and the rich and glitter-
ing costumes of the multitude of per-
formers, and the new electric light ef-
fects and splendid music, will be pre-
sented at Hoyt’s Theatre next Saturday
evening. Miss Louise Montrose, who
made the success of her career as Car-
line, is with this company, and will in-
troduce a number of new specialties.
The dramatic cast is particularly good,
and in fact, the entire production is ex-
ceedingly strong in all departments.
