STAMFORD, Dec. 19.—Ear1y Sunday

street, in the center of the city and
secured upwards of $1,500 worth of

were of a miscellaneous nature, includ-
ing watches, chains, charms, optical
goods and opera glasses.
At Weed ’s the. door had been forced,
while at Kronholtz’s that
protected a rear window were forced
and the glass broken sufficiently to ad-
mit a person’s body. .
The burglary at VVeed’s store was
discovered Sunday morning, but it was
iron bars
not until afternoon that it occurred to
the police that other stores might have
been visited, and then the second bur-
glary came to light.
The burglars had removed a panel
of a door in W’eed’s store leading into
a hallway and it had the appearance
of being cut with a jackknife, which
would suggest the work of amateurs,
while at Kronholtz’s burglar-’s tools
were used. The police thus far have
no clue.

[lllll ADVERTISERS.
The Live Merchants of Nor-
walk MakeTheir Holiday
' Announcements.
USE THE .GAZETTE
To Tell the People Where and What to Buy for
Christmas.
The newspaper is the index of the
community. The character of a news-
paper mirrors unmistakably the char-
acter of the community. The beautiful
holiday issue printed 'to-day fitly cele—
brates some aspects of the enterprise of
the Twin Cities. The Christmas num-
ber of the GAZETTE is the best edition
ever issued in N orwalk, and an
advertising medium of unmistakable
value to every merchant.
A most important feature of the
GAZETTE, also, and one of its concern
to its thrifty family readers, is the
great variety of business enterprises
represented in its columns. With
characteristic push the store windows
and shelves all teem with the stock, of
useful articles and delights for the'need
of all, and this fact warrants the
prompt perusal of the bargains an-
nounced and aquick response for the
purchases to be made.
The beautiful clear weather and. the
crisp atmosphere of winter has set the
people of the Twin Cities and their sur-
roundings into a true Christmas mood
and buying holidayg Gifts is the pr 1nc1-
pal business of the time.
It is some assistance to know where
certain lines of goods can be found and
the houses represented below are all
of the well established concerns of the
Twin Cities that know what the trade
is and how to merit it:
GIFTS FOR THE LADIES.
It is not always easy fora husband
to please his wife or a father to please
his daughter in the matter of a Christ-‘
mas gift and the houses that can solve
this difficulty are Tristram & Hyatt
and the Boston Store. They have
some of the best makes of kid gloves
which make a fine gift. A box of
gloves fora lady is an outfit for her
the. season and for-
street wear the glove made after the
and bright colors, the variety is excel-
lent and nothing is more attractive in
make up than these fine skirts. The
fur garments and cloaks are not to be
overlooked as they are shown by these
houses. which have had long experi-
ence ,in providing for the first-class
trade of the Twin Cities and surround~
Ing towns.
. THE DIAMOND.
The one thing that remains of per-
manent value, that always pleases the
eye, is the diamond. The owner of
this gem is well satisfied and in its
wearing there is more pleasure than in
any other gem. Indeed, it is recogniz—
ed as the first of all gems. Norwalk
has a house that makes a specialty of
diamonds. And that is the house of J.
Spencer & Co., 3 Main street, Norwalk,
and 96 Washmgton Street, South Nor-
walk. It is in immediate touch with
the finest importation and there is
nothing to be had in diamonds that the
house cannot bring to its patrons.
FURNITURE FOR THE HOME.
All’the comforts of home are em-
braced in the simple word “furniture.”
Without furniture the home would not
be habitable and with furniture well
made, well arranged, the luxury of
the home begins and very often ends.
The seller of furniture who keeps well
within the lines of thoroughly made
goods of the best materials, usually has
the confidence of the community and
gets his share of the trade. Raymond
St Son’s have just that sort of well
made, well designed furniture, and it is
a pleasure to inspect the goods on the
large floors they devote to it.
CHRISTMAS CANDIES.
A box of candies is as necessary an
accompaniment of a first class, up-to-
date Christmas as any one thing that
can be mentioned, and when the box is
of the daintiest pattern and ornamenta-
tion the gift is a choice one, indeed.
Harrie A. Smith at 39 Main street,Nor-
walk, and F. A. Lane, Mahackemo
Block, South Nor-walk, make a specialty
of these goods, whrch for purity and
fine flavor are unequalled. Christmas
tree decorations are also to be found at
these sto‘res.
GOOD CLOTHING.
There is a difference in clothing, and
the man who takes pains to dress him.-
self well soon finds this out and knows
where to go to get just what he wants.
If he should go to the well-known house
stock of furnishings for. gentlemen, in-
cluding neckwear, umbrellas, dress
suit cases, house coats, bath robes and
such articles that delight any man.
MEERSCHAUM GOODS, CIGARS. ETC.
The wife who is looking for a Christ-
mas gift for her husbandth'at would
please him will do no better than to
,visit the store of Whelpley .8; Clark,
in the Lauder building, corner of
Washington and South Main streets,
South Norwalk, the leading tobacco-
nists of the Twin Cities. Such an array
ette holders was never placed before
the holiday shopper. Their domestic,
Key West and Havana cigars are of
the finest brands, and are kept with
the utmost care that they may reach
the smoker in the most perfect condi-
tion. Some of the best cigar trade 'in
Connecticut has become a fixture at
this store because of the uniform excel-
lence of the goods and the great care
taken to maintain quality.
CHRISTMAS TOYS.
Replete with everything that makes
(.‘hristrnastide a joy with the children
is the great stock of toys offered by
John T. Hayes of 5 Main street. Here
can be found games, dolls, drums, sleds,
wagons, carts etc. in endless variety.
In addition to toys this house can sup
ply you with photograph and autograph
albums, picture books paper and enve-
lopes and a thousand and one things
that would make an acceptable Christ—
mas gift.
A glimpse of Mr. Hayes’ toy depart-
ment is like a peep into fairyland.
Here are spread out all the marvels of
Santa Claus’ workshop. Nothing that
can delight the heart of a child is lack-
mg.

PIANOS AND ORGANS.
One of the most acceptable Christ-
mas gifts that can be made, is a piano
J. W. Studwell, of
39 North Main street South N01 walk
most aptly inquir'es, “ Why not a piano
for a Christmas gift?” His immense
store is filled with pianos from the best
makers, Chickering and Weber being
his leaders. In addition to these cele-
brated instruments, can be found the
Kr'anich & Bach, Sterling, New Eng-
land, Kroeger, Huntington, Shelton
and VVheelock pianos. Here, also, can
be found the finest display of organs,
ranging in price from $25 to $50.
I’TTRFUMES AND SOAPS.
The largest and finest assortment-
of extracts and fancy soaps can be found
at E. P. VVeed’s, 38 Wall street, and
H.Glendening& Co.’s,No.1 Main street.
They have also many handsome gifts
in hair brushes, clothes brushes, bon-
net brushes, combs, military brushes,
nail polishers, scissors, nail files, tooth
brushes, nail brushes, whisk brooms,
tooth powder
bottles, salts bottles, cologne bottles,
pull? and powder boxes, tooth brush and
nail brush holders. Their stores are
replete with everything that would
make an acceptable gift.
FANCY SHOES AND SLIPPERS
Olsen Brothers at their “White Shoe
Store” in the GAZETTE building pres
sent the daintiest of holiday slipper-
and fine shoes for the holiday trade.
Their shelves are filled with the finest
goods, any of which would make a most
acceptable present. They are the
leaders in the shoe line, and nothing
but the most reliable and fashionable
makes are to be found at their store.
.__TIE-IE-_
GROCERIES.
The P. J. Lynch Co. have the best of
everything in the grocery line, and
their stock is replete with the choicest
goods for the holiday trade, including
foreign and domestic dried fruits,
canned fruits, preserves, jams, jellies,
mince meat, etc.
ALE, LAGER AND PORTER.
For the Christmas dinner the Entin'
prise Bottling Works presents their
famous ales, lagers and porters. N oth-
ing but the best brands are kept, and
nothing superior can be found in town.
A postal card addressed to their works
atfl7 Wall or 43 Chapel street will re-
ceive prompt attention.
