Frauds on Pensioners.
Several arrests were made in Washiiig"
ton last week of clerks in the Pension
Office, who, in collusion with an attorney
were szndling applicants for pensions.
Their mode of proceedurc was as novclas
it was simple. Ascertaining from ofiiclal
documents the probable time when the
applications of certain pensions were to be
allowed, they would notify the applicant
that if he would employ a certain attorney
(their confederate,) who had “peculiar
and extraordinary facilities for hurrying
up long-delayed cases,” his claim would
be speedily and favorably settled in con-
sideration of a stated fee. The im-
patient applicant would naturally fall into
the trap and forward 9 fee, and upon rc-
cciving his grant, in the natural course of
' time; would think everything all right
and induce his fellow applicants to cm:
ploy the same attorney. _ In this ‘way
many applicants were swindled out of
.various sums. For some time the Com-
missioner of Pensions had suspected that
something was wrong and. the chief of
the special agents was directed to investi-
gate, thc investigation resulting in the
arrests beforc' mentioned.
The Pension Office, despite the numer-
ous precautions taken, abounds in oppor-
tunities for the swindling of the unsus-
pecting applicant for a pension. Oppor-
tunities of this and a similar sort always
have and always will occur, though
to the credit of Commissioner Dad.-
ley be it said, that during his able ad-
ministration they are growing beautiful-
ly less. Yet, despite the utmost care
and precautions, there will always be
some opening for fraud on the part of dis-
honest clerks and the only remedy for
this evil lies in the applicants themselves.
Applicants for pensions should put no
trust or confidence in the promises of
those who claim to be able to hurry cases
along for pay. In all cases they are swind-
lers.Let the claimant,whoever he may be,
consult some well known and reliable at—
torney or,better,write direct to the Pension
Office and he will receive all the informa
tion necessary and at the same time will
be out of the reach of petty swindlerswho
strive like foul leeches to draw from the
unsuspecting soldier the money earned'by
the sweat of his brow. '
There is another matter of which, in
this connection, it may be well to speak.
There are, in places, a set of human sharks
who will offer to take all the trouble OR
the hands of the claimants, furnish evi-
dence and prosecute the claims, in fact,
do everything necessary to hurry the case
along, provided, that if the claim be al-
lowed the successful applicant shall pay
them a sum considerably in excess of the
$10 allowed and limited by law. In many
cases the claimant readily agrees to this
proposal and the result is that when his
claim is allowed he finds he is obliged to
pay over to these vultures a large percent.
age of the money he has so nobly and so
dearlyflearned. This region is not free from
these “sharks” and many a pensioner here
can tell of money wrung from him in just
such a way by parties who walk ourivil~
lage streets and are supposed to be honor-
able men. Soldicrsl If you have been
wounded or have contracted disease in
war, the money you receive from the
Government is justly yours. Do not sub-
mit to be swindled out of ,your well-
mcrited recompense for the suffering
you have endured, by the machinations
and schemes of dishonest men. Pay your
attorney or your agent ten dollars and ten
dollars only. That is the fee prescribed
by law and for any excess, you,yourselvcs,
become parties to a breach of the law and
of the peace, unless there be something
unusual and extraordinary about your
CIISG.

Burglars Frightened Off.
Mrs. Burr Sturges, a widow, lives at
Weston with her two daughters. On
Wednesday night a negro entered the
house and proceeded to ransack the lower
floor. The women heard him and locked
themselves in their rooms. After explOr-
ing the other parts of the house the negro
knocked on the door of the room occu-.
pied by the women, and said that unless
he was admitted and given money he
would murder them. One of the daugh-
ters held the door, while the other threw
up the window and shouted and blew a
tin born to alarm the neighbors. No re-
sponse came to their signals for help and
they left the house and went to the resi-
dence of her brother-in-law. Joseph. 0.
Sturgcs, who lives near by. George Stur-
gcs and a hired man went to Mrs. Sturges’
residence, but the man had disappeared,
havlng evidently been frightened off by
the noise. From the description given by
Mrs. Sturges it is thought that the robber
ia'“Sam" Pine, who is suspected of being
the man who assaulted Miss Stocum rc-
ccntly at North Salem.

Hue Docet.
Mr. Owcn Light of New Canaan, insert-
ed an advertisement in last week’s GA-
ZETTE for the recovery of a valuable bird
dog owned by him and which had myste-
riously disappeared. The ink on the paper
had hardly dried before a gentleman in
Stamford who had read the advertisement
noticed a man on the streets of that town
cndeavoring to sell a dog answering to the
published description of that owned by
Mr. Light. The telephone was called into
. use and Mr. Light hastened to Stamford
and recovered his stolen property. He
says he now believes in advertising and,
what is better. believes in advertising in
the GAZETTE.

The Cancellation of Check Stamps.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
at Washington, has issued a circular in
which it is stated that owing to the lack
of a specific appropriation to meet the ex-
penses of the cancellation of stamps
printed on checks and drafts they will not
be received for cancellation and return
after redemption, after July 31, 1883.
All stamps upon checks and drafts re-
ceived for redemption after that date, if
redeemed, will be destroyed together with
the drafts or checks.
Another Sea Serpent.
A gentleman driving on one of the
shore roads Saturday, saw, a short dis-
tance from land, what be supposed to be a
monster sea serpent with the usual flam-
ing eyes, protruding fangs and smoky
vapor issuing from its nostrils. He was
considerably startled but upon closer in-
vestigation discovered that it was only a
steam tug towing South Norwalk’s old
and dilapidated draw-bridge to Bridge—
port. ,

Large Fire.
Wheeler’s wire mill at East Haven, the
third largest cstablishmcnt'of its kind in
the country, was totally destroyed by fire
Sunday evening. Loss about $50,000;
insured for $30,000. Between three and
four hundred men are thrown out of em-
ployment. The mill will be rebuilt at
once.
Secretary Chandler's Mother Dead.
Conconn, N. 11., July 15,—Mrs. Mary
Ann Chandler, mother of Secretary Chan-
dler, died at her residence in this city last
night, aged 82 years. She was uncon-
scious most of the day, and pulsation
ceased at :7:15. The funeral will take
place at 5 p. m. on Tuesday.

Attention, Delinquents!
The new postal law'now makes the tak~
ing of a newspaper and the refusal to pay
for the same, theft, and any person guilty
of such an action is liable to criminal pro-
ceedings, the same as if he had stolen
goods to the amount of his subscription.
A Sad Suicide.
Miss Mamie Odell, an adopted daughter
of H. C. Cable, the Danbury florist, com-
mitted suicide last Wednesday night un-
der peculiarly distressing circumstances.
She was a beautiful girl but fifteen years
old, and when four years ago she was
brought from Randall’s Island, N. Y.,
and adopted by Mr. Cable, she won, the
love of the family by her bright ways.
She was naturally of a wild nature and
though treated in the kindest manner by
Mr. Cable and family, she was under the
morbid impression that for some of her
pranks she would be sent back to the
Island in disgrace. Early Wednesday
evening she escaped unseen from the
house andowent to a drug store and
purchased sonic strychninc for the pur-
pose of killing some cats in the neighbor-
hood. She thcn went to Elmwood Park
to listen to the band and, meeting a
young man there, remained in his company
till ten o’clock when they started for.
home. The young man left: her at her
house after which nothing is known till
she was found dying. It is supposed that
being unable to re-enter the house and
fearing she would surely be sent back to
the Island as a result of her cscapade,
she brooded on the matter till in a mo-
ment of rashness she took the fatal
poison. Thursday morning. Coroner
Holt of Bridgeport, was summoned and
held an inquest overthe remains, result-
ing in a, verdict by the jury .of suicide.
The autopsy proved the girl to be virtuous
in spite of wild rumors to the contrary.
Numerous State papers made sensational
murder articles of the matter, but subse-
quent events proved it to be suicide. Mr.
and Mrs. Cable are deeply affected by the
sad occurrence as the girl was greatly
endeared to them. .

- A Fine Local Improvement.
Mr. William H. Thomas has made most
thorough, substantial and attractive rc-
construction of his father's homestead on
East.Avenue. He has greatly enlarged
the old home and entirely changed its in,
tenor and exterior structure. He says
that while in some respects his alterations
faintly approach the Queen Anne style of
architecture, it is really more of the
“Thomas style,”as he and his family plan-
ned all the changes. When completed, it '
is not only going to be avcry spacious
and convenient dwelling, but interiorly
and cxtcriorly, it will be one of the most
attractive edifices in town. Mr. A. C.
Golding is the carpenter, Mr. Henry Sey-
mour the mason, Jaqui is the tinner and
McKeon the plumber. Mr. Seymour has
introduced some genuine novelties in re-
producing old time fire-places of white
and Philadelphia pressed brick. Over
one such, in the main hallway, be has con-
structed a unique mantle-peice out of the
brick, with a slighter projection of brick
some three feet above it, for placques or
vases. His windows will be in part of
stained glass, his heater a steam boiler,
find his stationary wash tubs of white por-
celain. When complete Mr. Thomas' im.
provement will add greatly to the attrac-
tiveness of that already beautiful avenue.

Wasn’t Good for the Freight
Quite a laugh of derision went up as an
explanation was made of the fact that
two steeds, (which were known to have
been purchased in New York, last Week,
by our livery neighbor Dunn), were led
direct from the steamboat to his stables,
but billed and labeled to another name.
Dunn explained that the steamboat people
did notdcem 'him good for the freight
charges on two horses, so he was com-
pelled to address them to another party,
although the animals were for himself.
As it is well-known that Dann is able to
buy a steamboat for himself, and then
have a good sized livery stable left over,
this explanation didn’t quite fill the 'bill,
so he was induced to explain further, that
he had been so unreasonable as to demand
a settlement of the damages to a valuable
horse that had been injured on the, boat,
and had refused to pay an old freight bill
until his claim was adjusted, whereupon
the boat had attempted to retaliate by re-
fusing to transport his horses, without
advance payments. Dann suggests that
the Conn. Courts will no doubt enforce
the justice the boat denies him. Our
judgment, based on experience, is that
the boat would find it money in its pocket,
if it would secure a local agent with less
beer in his stomach and more brains in his
head, I
Death of General Tom Thumb.
General Tom Thumb the famous dwarf,
died suddenly of apoplexy, at his resi-
dence in Middleboro, Mass., Sunday, aged
forty-six years. Tom Thumb (Charles
S. Stratton) was ' .born in Bridgeport.
When five' years old 'he was not two feet
in height and weighed less than sixteen
pounds. His public career began under
the management of P. T. Barnum, Un;
der the name of General Tom Thumb he
acquired a world-wide celebrity. For
many years he was remarkable for his
bodily symmetry and agility, but in later
life he became stout, though retaining
much of his youthful activity. He leaves
a wife but no children. Deceased was a
33° mason. ‘ .
Reunions.
The following dates have been fixed

been invited to attend the reunion of Par-
son’s cavalry Brigade (Confederate) at
Dallas, Tex., on Aug. 6, and to respond
to the toast, “The Boys who Wore the
Blue.” The President of the society, W.
G. Veal, says: "Our reunion is not to
quarrel, but to meet as brothers, bury all
the unpleasant recollections of the past,
and join heart and hand in the welfare of
our great nation for all time to come.”
Another Temporary Set—Back.
The Railroad Commissioners have re-
fused to accept a portipn of the layout of
the Olmstead Parallel line. This defect
can no doubt be easily remedied by an-
other survey, but meantime it gives the
Hartford 8:. Harlem an opportunity to slip
in ahead of them and secure the choice of
location. The Railroad Commissioners
have a hard task before them, but they
impress u.wiih the conviction that their
only desire is to deal as fairly byall the
contestants as is consistent with their duty
,to the public. They meet today at New
Haven. ' ‘

A Free Excursion.
The excursions to various points of his-
toric interest, under the auspices oftbc
Yale Business College, offer to the stu-
dents of that institution, the highest facil
ltics to combine instruction, recreation
and profit without expense. As shown by
the advertisement inanother column, the
first excursion will be to Richmond, Vir-
ginia, and return. This is the rarest op
portunity ever offered the present genera-
tion to visit the scenes made memorable
by the struggles of twenty years ago.
The Yale Business College leads the van
in the path of enterprise, practical busi-
ness training and ‘chilities for thorough
instruction. ' '

An Unpublished Anecdote of Frost. Lincoln.
A few evenings since, we passed a dc-
lightful hour in the Washington apart-
ments of Mr. E. H. Carmick,‘ (now a
guest at the Dorlon House) with that able
and intrepid Cavalry Commander, Gen.
Pleasanton, The General gave us a new
“story” of President Lincoln, which we
believe has never been in print. “It was
a few days after the Antietam battle,"
said General B, “when Pesidcnt Lincoln
visited General McClellan's headquarters,
and while there, Gen. McClellan offered
to call out his army that the President
mightrevicw the men. To this the Presi—
dent rcmarkcd that he didn't want to bother
the boys to get uplauy kind of ‘a parade
for him, but if Gen. Pleasanton would
not deem it too much trouble, he really
would like to see the troopers in line for a
few minutes. The President’s wish was
at once telegraphed Gen. Pleasanton and
he replied that .his meh'had been riding
and fighting all day and late into the night
previous, but that all that were not disa
bled, some forty-five hundred, would be
in readiness for the Presidential review in
an hour. Gen. McClellan and his gaudy
staff, soon came galloping up to Pleasan-
ton’s headquarters and astridea somewhat
spiritlcss horse, dangled the long legs of
the President. After exchanging the or-
dinary civilities, the‘ President said to
Pleasanton, “General, I’m sorry to trouble
your boys so much, but I really did want
to see how so .many men on horseback
would look.” Then remarking to Gen. Mc-
Clellan, without the faintest intention of
discourtcsy, that he wouldn’t trouble him
further, left him behind and ambled off
down the line of cavalry, with Pleasan-
ton. While-moving along he expresed
his surprise at finding the men andani-
male looking so Well, and half confiden.
tially remarked that when urging an ad-
vance movement of the army they had
told him the cavalry were all barefooted,
and, quaintly, continued" he, “when they
told me that, I sent them back word-that
I never had a horse to ride and no shoes
till after I was nineteen, and had to go on
foot at that." Continuing the ride, the
General said, the President would fro
quently break out in complimentary cx-
clamations at the fine appearance of the
men and animals, when they‘ncared one
of the finest companies in his command
and remarking to the President that these
men were from his State, Illinois, Mr,
Lincoln’s eye ran eagerly down the line,
when be all at once raised himself up in
his saddle and shouted, “W by, if there
isn‘t Bill ———, from my section,” and
sooner than he could relate it, said Gen.
P., the President had urged his horse up
in front of the private soldier he had re-
cognized, and extending his long arm and
grasping the hand that had to drop his
saber to clasp it, they shock and shook,
said Gen. P., till I thought the President
would pull “Bill".ofi his horse. - Then
the President continued— “Why, Billy
your father wrote me' you had gone to the
war, but I didn't expect to see you here;
how are you; how does the General here
treat you ?" A dozen other such ques-
wcre asked more rapidly than “Bill” could
reply, when the President comically asked,
“by the way, Bill, you remember old
Aunt Hannah Miller and that brindle cow
she had? Well, that cow is dead, and
Aunt Hannah is making more fuss over
her loss than you boys do in fighting and
dying for the country; why she went and
got your father to write me a letter all
about it. Well, Bill, I’m. glad to have
seen you; tell the. boys I’m sorry to have
bothered them this way, but if I hadn’t I
would not have met you, wduld I Bill?"
and bidding the private an earnest “God
bless you, and good bye," the Presiden—
rode on, remarking to the General, “Why,
Bill is the son of one of my neighbors—
onc of my best friends—he’s one of my
boys; try and take care of him, the best
you can, General.” Again and again apoll
ogizing for the trouble he had caused in
requesting the review and urging Gen. P.
to tell the “boys" how" sorry he \wns to
have given them so much trouble and yet
how pleased he had been with what he had
seen, Mr. Lincoln rode back to the Mc-
Clellan headquarters.

Removal of the Drawbridge.
The old carriage draw at South Nor-
walk was loaded onto two_ scows and
moved from its bearings, last Friday, '
and on Saturday, towed by a tug, was
taken to Bridgeport. The unusual sight
of a floating drawbridgc Caused consider—
able merriment among the shore frequen-
tcrs of that city and many theories were
advanced as to its final disposition.
Some said that P. T. Barnum had bought
it and would hereafter use it as a step-lad-
der to Junlbo’s back while others held
that it was to be used as a drawbridgc for
the Olmstead Parallel Road—when built.
Numerous other opinions were expressed
and it was only after an interview with
Mr. A. J. Beardsley who stated that his
firm had bought the structure and would
break it up and use the timbers for dock
building, that the curiosity of the crowd.

The First Accident.
The prepared timber for the new draw-
bridgc ,has been piled upon the western
section of the old one, as it has been un-
loaded from thé sloop. The weight was
too much for the old bridge and yesterday
afternoon, at twenty minutes before six,
about 100 feet of it fell into 'the creek.
One man was on the timber, but he cs-
caped without injury.
An Unusually Good Job of House Painting.
Mr. C. C. Brothcrton has just complet-
ed a job on the little Queen. Anne cottage
on Beldcn Avenue, of which any house
painter might justly feel proud. \ The
thoroughly done, but the combination of
colors and very largely the colors‘them-
selves wer left to Mr. B’s good taste omit
the result has been, that there is a blend—
ed harmony and beauty about his shad—
ings that give to the cottage a very pleas-
ing effect. Brotherton is certainly a mas-
ter of his art and when any one can give
practical evidence of superiority in their
business skill, it is a pleasure and a privi-
lege to make “honorable mention" of such
unusual capabilities and success.
A Connecticut League.
A call signed by James Reynolds, rep-
resenting Connecticut in the National
Council of the new Irish National Leagu
of the United States, and by all the delc
gates to the Philadelphia Convention, has
been issued to the various Irish asociations
of Connecticut, inviting them to send del-
egates to a state convention to be held in
New Haven on Thursday, August 2, 1883.
The purpose of the convention is to form
a State branch of the National Associa-
tion for the better promotion of the ob
jects of the movement. The convention
promises to be quite formidable in num-
bers and will include as delegates some” of
the ablcst representatives of the Irish
race of the State.

The Right Man in the Right Place.
‘ The Iron Steamboat Co. have done a
most sensible thing in securing the ser-
vices of Capt. Secor as its uptown freight
agent. The Captain is a man of upright
life and high personal character and has
good common sense withal. The public
will rejoice that Capt. S. is to be 'contin-
ued, despite the many and bewildering
changes in our steamer ownerships.
An Important Order.
A circular has been issued by the Com-
missioner ofzInternal Revenue, requiring
all dealers who sell “rock and rye” to take

Another Attempt at Outrage.
News has just reached us of another at-
tempt at outrage in this vicinity, thistime
at or near Sanford’s Station. It seems
that on July 4th a young woman living
in Danbury started to visit her husband.
who was working for a man named San-
ford in Weston. Coming down the Dan-
bury road she, by mistake, got off the
train at Sanford’s Station and only discov-
ered hcr error after the train had left.
She then made inquiries as to the nearest
way to Weston and upon receiving direc-
tions started to walk to that place. Shortly
after, a young Irishman who had over-
heard her inquiries and had followed her,
made an outrageous assault upon her.
The woman made a vigorous resistance
and succeeded in escaping from her as-
sailant but not until he had torn most of
her clothes off. She made her way as
best she could to a neighboring house and
on being provided with the necessary ap-
parel went, under escort, to the depot
and returned home. No complaint was
made at the time, the assaulted party,who
is a respectable and modest woman, fear-
ing the unpleasant notoriety which the
publicity of the case would give her. The
assailant and would-be ravishcr is known
to some and it is said that should a reward
be offered he would speedily be handed
over to the proper authorities. Although
the narrow and selfish nature which, in a.
matter of this kind, would wait for a re-
ward, is to be abhorred, yet it seems as
though the proper parties should make an
ofifer if the culprit can be brought to junk
tice in no other way.
Petitioning for $26,000 Each.
The widow and' the daughter of the
late J ease Hoyt made an application totlle
Surrogate, Thursday for a further allow-
ance from the estate of $25,000 each.
The petition sets forth that the allowance
of $25,000 each granted the petitioners
some time ago, has been§nearly expended,
and they need the further allowance for
their support and maintenance. The
daughter also says that she has bought a
house for $30,000 which has not been
paid for, and that an expenditure of $15,-
OOOw'lllberequired to furnish in Ex-
Scnator Roscoe Conkling, who appeared
for the petitioners said that the _trial of
the case had been :dclaycd ,a long time,‘
and that Mrs. Hoyt and her daughter
actually needed the money for which they
had asked. William M. Evarts, who ap-
peared for the executors and trustees of
the estate, said that they had no objec-
tions to the granting of the allowance if
the Surrogate had jurisdiction in the case.
They did not object to the exercise of
that jurisdiction, but could not consent
to the granting of an allowance if the law
did not allow it. The question was
whether the allowance should be taken
from the income or from the trust fund.
Mr. Conkling replied to Mr. Evarts
that the house which Miss Hoyt has pur-
chased was in Lexington Avenue, and
that the price paid for it was moderate.
It had not been bought as an investment,
but would be occupied by Miss Hoyt.
The Surrog ate i'escrved his decision.
The Phalanx Picnic.
The members of the Phalanx will hold
their annual picnic at ltoton Point on
Thursday. This club have the reputation
of never doing anything by halves and if
we may judge by the attractions to be
offered they will maintain their reputation
and give the finest picnic Norwalk or vi-
cinity has ever seen. A novelty in this
section will be the exhibition of DAY fire-
works, that may be seen in the day time '
These fireworks have been used for some
time at Manhattan Beach and have proved
a wonder to admiring crowds. The
cheapest piece ordered by the Phalanx
will cost $3 so that an extraordinarily
fine display may be looked for. As noth-
ing of this kind has ever been seen in this
vicinity the exhibition will prove of great
interest to all. In addition to this there
will be prizehowling, tub racing swim-
ming matches and many original and
amusing games. In the evening a fine
display of night fireworks will be given
and the grove will be brightly illuminated
Governor Waller. has been invited and
will visit the Point during the afternoon.
Extra trains will be run on the extension,
and steamers from Wilson’s Point will
make frequent trips to and from Roton.
No trouble or expense has been spared by
the Phalanx to make the day enjoyable,
and it will undoubtedly prove, as adver-
tised, THE picnic of the season.

An Important Notice.
The following general order was issued
from the post ofllcc department Tiibsday:
“Complaint has been made to this depart-
ment. that second class mail matter (news-
papers and periodicals sent to regular
subscribers) is not in all cases promptly
forwarded to the addresses. Such matter
is of at least equal importance with the
letter mail, and it should be treated with
equal care by postal clerks.” The Postmas-
ter General is determined that the open.
ing and reading by postmasters of news-
papers sent to private parties, shall be
stopped, and he states that on proof of
such transgression the Department will
take the same action as in the case of a
postmaster opening aprivate letter. This
order will be generally cemmended as the
indifference manifested by some post-
masters as to whether a newspaper reaches
its destination or not, has long been a
matter of anxiety and complaint to news
paper publishers. The GAZETTE, among
others, has suffered in this way and for
our part we are heartily glad of this com-
mon sense orde! The new Postmaster
General has started off right, now “let the
good work continue.”
The Sanetity of Families lmpcriled. _
The large number of .most atrocious as-
saults made upon females recently, by
monsters in the shape of men, should lead
every hand of a family to renewed vigi-
lance, care and forethought. .The case of
Miss Slocum, the Brewsters School
Teacher, and even more diabolical assaults
in Redding, Weston, and lastly at San-
ford’s Station, are of so terrible a charac-
ter, as to bid every man and woman to be
on special guard. It is supposed that the
negro Pine is responsible for two, if not
more of the outrages, but it is evident
that there are more monsters than he in
human shape, who are capable of such
crimes and it behooves every one interest-
ed in the safety of our homes to be on the
watch for such wretches and if need be to
shoot them down as relentlessly as if they
were mad dogs or wild beasts.
. Home Again.
Mr. and Mrs. Rev. Henry S. Barnum
reached Norwalk last Monday evening,-
from their long missionary residence in
Turkey. They went at once to Mrs. B’s
old home at Winnipauk, and are now
visiting their many friends in various lo-
calities.’ Both express their admiration
and surprise at the growth and many
changes and improvements 'in Norwalk
during their long sajourn abroad. Mr. B.
was most enthusiastic in expressing his
delight in receiving every week, with
scarce an interruption, the old GAZETTE,
which came to them almost invariably,
only four weeks after its leaving Nor-
walk.

Ifore About Our Steamers.
The Norwalk passenger and freight
steamer business for the past few months
has been a good deal on the “now you
see it and now you don’t” plan. The
latest on dit is that the Iron Steamboat

makcsthc followmg announcements con-
earning the coming encampment of the
Connecticut National Guards : — '
Brigadier-General Stephen R. Smith,
commanding the Connecticut National

Padded Bathing Suits. .
The introduction of an Article which ls'Calculalcd
to Fill a Long—felt Want.
One thing has to be said to the credit of
the Atlantic City girls,all of them, the tall
graceful girls from the Seaside and Brigh-
ton, from.thc Dennis and Haddon Houses
and the girls from the cottages’as well—
they do not use padded bathing suits. A
gentleman who has visited several of the
other and more pretentious seaside resorts
has seen these delusions and snares before
they were worn, and then seen them with
their living skeletons inside of them in
the water. Of course they are strictly
for that very spiritucllc style of girl
known in the technology of the dress-
maker’s art as "plank shaped." At two
or three of the fashionable resorts these
symmetrical suits, with the padding
so arranged as not to be displaced by
getting wet, have been introduced, and at
Cape May they are hired. At the other
places they are sold. As they enable the
wearer to display dimensions just where
dimensions are most lacking, they are con-
sidcrcd a great public benefit. I .-
At Atlantic City'nonc of the girls will
have anything to do with them. The
Philadelphia girl especially regards them
with scorn and aversion. She is not that
kind of a girl. In her natty little dark
suit, without a touch of color, and palpi-
tating with each onward step, she enters
the breakers all herself, and after thefirst
douse comes lip ju'st as real and tangible
and genuine as before shc‘ entered. This
probably is the first season that attention
has been given to real elegant bathing suits.
But few of them are to be found at At-
lantic City. They are well made, and of
good material, and fit nicely, but they are
not fancy. There are occasional excep-
tions, and aludy was seen bathing yester-
day with cream-colorcd hose. canvas gai-
ters, bound with blue, a red silk turban,
a red jersey, and pale blue breechcs, cut
short, and edged with lace. One of the
most modest and yet elegant bathing suits
on the beach is worn by a young married
lady of Philadelphia. It is all of black,
with long Turkish trousers below the
skirt, which is very much pleated—Phil.

. Last week was quite exceptional in the
obituary annals of Norwalk. An unusual
number of our‘ oldest and most respected
citizens entered into their eternal rest.
~ We .last week briefly recorded the de-
mise of Capt. Henry W.’ Smith, who for

“Captain" he always bore. 110 was
brother of the lathudgc Stephen and Asa
E. and father of Stephen II. Smith and
well and favorably kndvn by all our
older residents. For the past few years
he has been a suffering invalid, but ten-

ter, Mrs. I). M. Platt.
0n the 9th inst. Mrs. Amanda Marvin,
widow of the late William Marvin, whose
residence was the fine form cast of Greg-
ory’s Point, departed this life. Mrs. M.
was a most estimable “mother in -Isracl"
and her memory will be affectionately
cherished by all who ever knew her.
On the same day as the above, the wife
of Hanford Wilcox, city, departed this
life. She had long been a helpless suffer-
er, aud “going home” was a sweet release
to her, though sincerely mourned by her
husband and many friends of former
years. ~ -

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCE-NT
. Some four years ago, I intro-
duced into this market a new thing
in the way of a SAWED SIIINGLE,
planed, as a substitute for rived
and shaved shingles. ‘
I sold between two and three
millions of them. This largc:salc
was due to the excellence of the
stock and the advantage given to
it by the process of planing. The
manufacturer—Oscar Fenn—in
about three years, consumed his
timber and retired wealthy and
the patentee of the process has
for a your past been looking in vain
for some one who made a shingle
good enough to be subjected to
the planing process, the tendency
being. to show plainly every defect
in the stock. He has recently
placed his machinery .in a. new
mill'and is now again supplying
me with an article of ‘
PLANEI] SHINGLE
fully as good in every respect as
the Oscar Fcnn and, and lie
warrants them just as thoroughly.
The first installment arrived Jilly
6th and I invite an examination
of them and also request an ex-
amination of the Lumber Shed
Roofs covered with Shingles
made three years ago by the same
process. I confidently recom-
mend them as the best substitute
for Rived Shingles, yet found.
The additional cost over the com-
mon shingle is but slight and is
more than covered by; the better
quality of stock. ‘
Call and examine them.
