This thing of devoting two' days to celebrating a holiday is rather hard-on the fellow who thinks theoccasionicalls for liquid excitement. The trade of 1898 was the largest in the history of the country, but the gentlemen who are making a specialty of hard times will not permita little fact like this to interfere with their business. A young man may be said to have reached the years of discretion when he takes down the pictures of actresses from his mantel and puts up a portrait of his rich maiden aunt instead. The new City Council'would please everybody by electing Attorney J. Bel- den Hurlbutt city counsellor and clerk. As a road commissioner “Mart” Kellogg takes the whole bake shop. An amicable settlement of difiiculties between the N orwalk & South Norwalk Electric Light company and the city 0 South Norwalk is reported. In other words, the hatchet is said to be prepar- ing for a first class burial. \ The question that appears to trouble Norwalk lawyers during holiday week is whether a gambling debt can be col- lected 01' not. We extend our sympathy to the es- teemed Bridgeport Standard and hope that excellent journal will soon rise Phoenix like out of its ashes. ‘AL No Right to Ugliness.

BY ONE 01' THEM.- Three interesting little items, hear- ing on the eternal woman’s rights question are to be found in the tele- graphic foreign news. One from London relates that a young lady who has occupied, on pro- bation, the post of superintendent of the 560 conductors employed by the London Tramways Company, has been an unqualified success as practicall absolute “boss” of such a large arm . of men. Another, from Paris, relates that the parliamentary committee ap- pointed to examine the claims of the lady- lawyers who want to be allowed to plead in the courts of justice, 'have unanimously concluded in favor of ad- mitting ladies to all the privileges of the bar. And still another tells of the asser- tion of a Russian countess traveling in France, of a lady’s right to ‘ smoke cigarettes in iail'road carriages “ 1e— served for ladies. ” The countess insisted on her right to her cigarette, despite the protests of a fellow traveler, whom she later Slapped in the face when the irate ' non-smoker indignantl y callcd her names. The railway company, torn between the con- flicting grievances, is thinking of estab- lishing women’s smoking cars. I ' Many of those who go forth to offer themselves as secretaries and lady housekeepers desire to receive a com- fortable maintenance without doing any serious work in return; while those who employ people of any sort want “some- thing for their money.” Mrs. Chisholm, who did so much in emigrating English women in..the early days of the colonizing of Australia, used to tell many stories of the absolute incompetence of those who offered themselves to her under sounding titles. She was wont to put them through a rough-and-ready examination, and she asked one smart girl who desired to be engaged as a “housekeeper” what in- gredients she would need for a beef- steak pudding. "I do not expect to be asked things like that‘,” said the applicant, indig- nantly. “Then what do you expect to know how to do?” said Mrs. Chisholm. "I expect,” was the reply, “to tell the servant that we will have beefsteak pudding for dinner, and she is to know how to make it. ’7 It is to be feared that this notion Of the qualifications of a housekeeper is by no means extinct. g Quay/1,2,2}. yigfiue. ———-———‘ ' There is Ia Class of People Who are injured by the use of coffee.

The little end of the hour was all right when it was a Christmas one. par- Your purse and your heart both feel light if you remembered your friends in true Christmas spirit. Men who are always talking of mar- 1iage being a lottery evidently do not approve of games of chance. One fertile source of regret this week will be that prices were not as low be- fore Christmas as they are now.
