'- 1 "W, GOOD EVENING. Nothing could stand without slipping up this morning. The Rev. C. M. Arthur may well say‘ deliver me from my friends. It is not true that meats were served at the fish club banquet-last night. -. Birthday parties have a tendency to make old maids go shy on the ante. Many a good man fell by the wayside while walking on the slippery side- walk to-day. The Miles-Eagan embalmed beef fight promises to be eclipsed by the Town Court squabble. The trolley cars and the Ice Devil had a fight this morning, but the trol- leys ‘came out winner. A safe robbed within three doors of police headquarters. the police wanted to keep it quiet. No wonder The bricks in the Wall street pave- ments have followed the example of the ground hog and disappeared. There are excellent reasons for be- lieving that the grip is afraid of the new remedy, “Brazilian Balm.” The report that Admiral Dewey is a dude appears to be confirmed. He has just ordered 40,000 bars of soap. A lecture on socialism is on for to night at South Norwalk. enterprise would prove more profitable. - A lecture on It is to be. hoped that the shake up in the Towo court officials is not the result ofa November politicial deal. Five more divorces were granted in Connecticut will soon outrank Dakota on divorces if a bait is not called soon. ' BridgepOrt yesterday.

'I‘he Norwalk Yacht club having met and elected a nominating com- mittee will probably next turn their attention to the election ofcity oii’iccrs. The bylaws and constitution have no terror for the holdovors. Spain’s Greatest Need. Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, ‘Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. 0. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head. On using Electric Bitters, Amei 1ca’s greatest Blood and Nerve Remedy, all pain soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what his country needs. All America knows that it cures liver and kidney trouble, purities the blood, tones up the stomach. strengthens the nerves. puts vim, vigor and new life in- to every muscle, nerve a nd organ of the body.- If weak, tired or ailing you need it. livery bottle guaranteed, only 50 cents.

If we don’t ratify the peace treaty, what in the world will Spain do? It is pretty rough on a nation when it can’t either make peace or fight.— Syracuse Herald. It would be far better for Bishop Potter to arouse the sentiment of church workers to help the poor peo- ple to comfortable sobriety than to indulge in denunciation of poorly kept homes and commendation of saloons.— New London Telegraph. Montana’s new senator-elect, Wil- liam A. Clark, is a Democrat, a protec- tionist, a free silver man and an anti- expansionist. The senator seems to be one of those all around men who can cover both :51ch of the fence.— Hartford Post. Objection to the feeding of red her- ring to an eight months old baby evok- ' ed this maternal demand: “Do you think "I don’t know. how to brinqup. children? Why I’ve buried ten.” The “aunties” have similar ideas about the F111p1nos.-—Ncw York Herald. pox and Bridgeport became Militant Christianity has wide bounds, but they do -not include the Indiana preacher who assaulted dis- turbers of. his meetings with a slug- Shot, and who intimidated still others with revolver practice. Such evangel- ism is apt to make the judicious grieve—New Haven Palladium. Mr. Rockefeller is quoted as saying that he will give a salary of $1,000,000 a year to any man who can take charge of his business and conduct it intelli- gently. That word “intelligently” as- sumes such mighty propositions that it is safe to say the list of candidates will , be small, despite the gilt-edge offer. — Meriden Republican. The United States is getting sick of this whole monkey business of Agui- naldo and it is not in the habit of pock- eting insults or injuries for any length of time. Senor Agoncillo should not make the mistake of confounding the government with a mulish minority of the senate.—-New York Sun. Mayor ., Taylor of Bridgeport,‘ given notice that no more “fake” box. ing exhibitions will be allowed in that city. Mayor Taylor should go a step further and say that no more boxing exhibitions of any character shall be allowed there. They serve no good purpose, they are demoralizing and brutal and the fewer we have of them the better.—Ansonia Sentinel. American trolley cars built in Pitts- burg are to be run on a line connecting Cairo Egypt, with the Pyramids. If ever the Sphinx is to break the silence of centuries he may be expected to speak out in amazement when he sees the natives of the oldest country dodg- ing the electric cars of the newest, while the Nile boats are left tied to the banks and the Egyptian donkeys are turned out to hunt a living in the desert—New York Hearld. PARSNIP GOMPLEXI‘DR. It does not require an expert to de- tect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow checks, the sunken eyes. the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. . A physician would ask if you had ilieumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble. desiie to urinate often. 01 a bui ning 01 scalding in passing it: if afte1 passing there is an unsatisfied feeling, as if it ' must at once he lepeated, 011 if the m ine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation. causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney.;.;and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However. if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention THE NORWALK GAZETTE and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N.

"fall: about hmd luck stmies," said a 1ef011ned western gamblei, ‘I think I can discount anything you ever heard in that line. It was in the early days of Lcndville, just about this time of the year, and I tell you it does get cold up in the hills along about now. “Well, I was broke, didn’t have a copper. and had strolled into a gamb- ling house to get a warm—up. There were several games going on, and when I had thawed out a little I walk- ed over to the fare layout where I went broke the night before. As I said, it was a very con night, and feeling a great draught at. my feet, I happened to glance down at the floor to see where it came from, and there by the. side of my right foot was lying what I thought to be a quarter. “I had been watching the gamcclosc- ly, making imaginary plays. ‘I’ll play 25 cents open on the ace,’ I said to the dealer, and in a moment more it won. “The dealer handed me two white chips. I played again and again won. and bef01e the end of the deal I had '11 nice stack of chips. It seemed to me I couldn’ t lose a deal and in half an hour I had a couple of hundred dollars’ worth of chips before me. “I concluded to cash in, and stacked my chips, pushing them toward the dealer. He counted them, and looking; up at me, said: ‘Where’s that quarter you made your first bet on?‘ f had for- gotten all about it. floor; the quarter was gone. Then I lit a match and saw that what I had supposed to be a quarter was simply -1 wet spot. It was originally a bit of ice, but the heat from my boot melted it.
