The GAZETTE will be two cents a copy after J auuary lst, and we believe our patrons will be willing to pay the additional cent. An epidemic of weddings seems to have broken out in Norwalk and the old maids are looking forward to the new year with renewed hope. A local paper makes the following statement: “If you don’t see it in the you will know it isn’t the truth. If you do, it is the truth.” . Judging from the fresh local news in our own colnmns We are led to believe like Governor Bulkley, that the whole thing is a bluff.” The tunnel through which John Mor- gan’s men escaped from the Ohio peni- tentiary has been found again. Later on it will be mislaid in the usual manner and become another mystery. “Havana will probably never again be the scene of bullfights, ” remarks the Utica Press. “The intelligent Spaniards understand that the United States ,will not tolerate the pastime.” In the inter- ests of humanity the U nited States might introduce six-day bicycle con- _ tests in Havana. «coop—— NO Right to Ugliness.

A great many newspaper writers are making free use of the terms optimist and pessimist. and it sometimes seems as if those who least understand their meaning are the most active in lling- ing them around.—~ii[artiord Times. An exchange lets fly the following truth : "if a newspaper man knew how many knocks he received behind his back he would. adopt another calling,” remarked a citizen the other day. The citizen was mistaken. The nevvspapcr man who succeeds expects to he malign: ed by every law breaker. savindlcr and hypocrite, every carping critic and lover of notoriety who do not agree with him on public and political ques- tions.

WESTPO RT. it is reported tb at a new Catholic church is soon to be built in town. The present church was built thirty years ago. Mrs George S. Adams died at her home Tuesday morning, after an illness of about six months, resulting from a stroke of paralysis on Christmas day. She had previously suffered two strokes. She was about 80 years of age, had been the mother of ten children, five of. whom, three sons and two daughters, a'll married, are living. She was a daughter of the late Lonson Coley whom all knew, and sister to W1lliam L. Coley, and Mrs. Henry A. Ogden of Westport. The two daughters, Mrs. Joseph W. Hill and Mrs. Wakeman of Portland; Oregon, had, until afew days ago, been constantlyat their mother’s bedside. EVE’S RAMBLINGS. COMMENT AND—GOSSIP AMONG THE. WOMEN, BY ONE. OF THEM. There is nothing quite so momentous, to the average mother as the naming of her baby, and in many cases the name chosen for the little daughter is the one the mother bore before her. ' Now, though that is considered emi- nently proper, we are forced to agree with a woman writer, who says that young methcrs, when they proudly be- stow their own Christian names upon their infant daughters, should reflect twice before they conclude to do so. Parents do not generally consider the numberless petty annoyances that are entailed thereby later on, when the baby becomes a woman, and has no “jr. ” in her name to distinguish her from her mother. _ Of course, in such a case youth is paramount, and the daughter is Mary Smith (or whatever may be the cognomen,) while the mother is rele- gated to the undesirable dignity of mature age, and becomes known, even to her intimates, as Mrs. Smith only. It is a small matter, it is true, but nevertheless an annoyance to many women. who like to feel young enough to be called by their baptismal names by their especial friends. Pin pick No. 2 is the confusion there is apt to be with their respective notes. It annoys Mrs. Smith considerably to write a note of invitation to a. young man, and have him answer it in a friendly fashion to her daughter, who of course, is too well brought up to dream of usurping her mother’s pre- rogative in the matter of invitations, and who, if she is very young, would not be allowed to indite epistles to the opposite sex. This is bad enough, but it is even more irritating to have the notes of Mary, the younger, answered to Mary, the elder, for the girls of this genera- tion rarely pen graceful and well-ex- pressed notes, and Mary Smith, the mether, rather prides herself on her clever little billets-doux, and by no means covets the distinction of having written one of her daughter's careless scrawls. Even with handkerchief and body linen the confusion and “mixing up" is continual. “Whatever is best is Mary’s,” said a long-suffering mother: “that is the way we tell at our house.’7 One of the funniest mistakes of this kind happened not long since to a well- known writer, whose budding daughter and namesake had literary aspirations, and who, unknown to her mother, sent a crude little story to one of the promi— nent magazines.

The headache that once prevented little Johnnie from attending Sunday school will break out Christmas festival has taken place. Sales are the order of the day. Few women look well on rainy days. A Jack Horner pic is a great institu— tion at children’s part-ins. Why does the tall girl insist upon wearing the postage-stamp bonnet? The between season of shabbiness is rapidly attacking our winter wardrobe. Despite all the fuss made over plaids well-dressml women have not adopted them.

DOW Too much silver on the outside of a purse makes one suspicious concerning the amount on the inside. If you failed to remember anyone” Christmas it is quite‘good form to pre- sent New Year’s gifts. Do not think because you put your key under the cushion that no one but yourself is aware of its hiding place. In all probability every servant in the house could put their hands on it in a minute. I It sometimes seems as though a we— man’s idea of the word style is ugli- ness, if a man were to be asked to de- fine it. Can’t you remember when twenty- five cents wasa good price for a veil ?

Many women suffer untold agony and misery becausethe nature of their dis- ease is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset womankind. . Neuralgia, nervousness, . headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or hearing- down sensation, profuse or scanty sup- ply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burn- ing sensation, sediment in it after standing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The abOVe symptoms ’are often at- tributed by the patient herself, ‘or by her physician, to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble, . In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blade der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, is the great discovery'of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. ' To prove its wonderful merits, you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolute- ly free by mail.
