NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 16,1886.
The New Armory.
The joint standing committee on milita-
ry came down from Hartford Thursday,
to inspect the present, quarters of Compa-
nies F and D and determine whether or
no they really needed an armory. When
they left, every member of the committee
was unanimous in favor of reporting the
bill favorably.
The committee is composed of the fol.
lowing gentlemen: Senator Golden, sixth
district, - chairman ; Messrs. " Allen, of
Sprague;,Srnart, cf East Windsor; Lee,
win,. of Windham ; Shipman, of Say-
brook; Winch, of Union; and Lamphesr,
of _Windsor. All were present but Allen,
of Sprague. The committee was met at
.the train. and escorted to the Mahack‘emo
Hotel where the following gentlemen were
Gregory, Dudley P. Ely, John S. Seymour,
Mayor Richards, Dr. Murray, Lieut. Rus-
sell Frost, Capt. A. A. Cllinery, Lester S.
Cole, Henry F. Guthrie, R. H. Rowan,
rMajor Crowe, Charles E. St. John, Dr. C.
B. Coolidge, A. C. Golding, James Golden,
Johu'H. Wade and H. S. Byington. After
the introductions had been made the com.
mittee were escorted to Military Hall, the
headquarters onCompany D. The floor of
this “armory" was in itsnormai condition
-—strewn with tobacco-leaf—and a sicken-
ing odor pervaded the room. Lieut.
Frost stated that during a drill recently,
one of the members of Company D had
been taken violently ill through breathing
ing, and had to be sent home in a carriage.w
Also that the floor was continually strewn
with drying tobacco owing to the
growing business of Mr. Swartz .which
made enlarged quarters-a necessity. The
committee were disgusted and one of them,
representative Smart, said the condition of
the armory was a disgrace to the state and
should be remedied at any cost. Capthse,
of Guilford; veteran though he was,..was.
staggered by the stench and, was with dif-
ficulty kept from bolting from the building.
After a general survey of the “armory".
the committee entered carriages and were
'driven to Co. F’s “armory." They admir-
ed the room and the neatness displayed,
but deprecated the cramped quarters and
frankly admitted them to be insufficient.
‘A few moments only were spent here, and
'then, re-entering :the carriages, the com-
mittee were ‘driven to the state lot at the
intersection of the turnpike, Franklin and
West avenues. This location was greatly
admired and its adaptability for the pur-
pose desired was admitted. Thence the
party drove to the Mahackeino hotel where
Landlord‘Newcomb ‘had, at short notice,
prepared a dinner which settled the whole
business. This the armory-givers and ar-
mory-wanters discussed ' earnestly for the
next half hour and would have been glad
to continue. But the arrival of the train
for Hartford compelled. the visitors . to
hasten their departure. They were “can.
.vassed” in the depot and each member de-
clared in favor of favorably reporting our
As one
member of the committee expressed it,
“We were practically unanimous before
coming, but whatever doubts we may have

I A Banquet.
Hobbie Post, No. 28, G. A. R., of Stem.
ford, had fixed upon Thursday evening,
February'll, for a spread of chickens and
turkey and other fixings necessary for a .
superb entertainment. ‘
From the speech of Welcome made by
the commander I should judge, the occa-
sion was in part designed to pay off some
old grudge still cherished in » memory
against Buckin’iam Post, of Norwalk.
But for the inclemency of the weather the
boys of the Post would have deployed. in
strength . for the occasion, -and as they
have sustained a glorious record in the
past the hen-coups of Stamford would
have suffered dreadful depletion. Buck-
ingham Post contains no shirkers from
duty or hospital hammers whenever hos.
pitalities of this sort are extended. If
they can't busing-ham or play the bones on
chicken legs I don’t know who can. Even -
Bridgeport lays down the palm since the
court house has been mOved to Norwalk.
It was evident the Stamford boys meant no
hobby when they spread the {magnificent
tables, loaded with every delicacy that
could tempt the most fastidious of mor-
tale. But
“The best laid schemes 0’ mice an' men,
_ Gang aft a-gleyt
An' lea’e us nought but guef and pain
For promised joy.”
The clouded heavens poured down in
torreng, and the prospect of plodding
home from the depot late in the darkness
,of night terrified even the brave hearts of
Buckingham Post. 'But three of the heavy
artillery put in their appearance, the bal-
ance being accustomed to take theirs

Don't know. neighbor; but if‘ stayed at home. Several of the unterrified
from other" invited Pests were present,
and, notwithstanding the howling winds
and driving rain, the dance proceeded
and “joy was unconfined." '
Many stories of daring bravery and per-
sonal valbr were related by the light
brigadiers and horse marines, and the—
heavy artillery, not to be outdone in deeds
of valor, brought forward their best story
teller, who declared that while injthe ser-
vice as wagon-master of the ammunition
train just before the great mine explosion
at Petersburg he was ordered to bring up
a load of powder, and, being in great
haste, he shoveled it into a tight-bottomed
wagon and was rushing his'mules forward
at their utmost speed when a shell came
soreechingthrough the air and landed in
the midst of the load. “I tell you, boys, I
had to stamp like lightning to put the
_d-—-—-d stuff out, and then it;burned up.
more'n four bushels before I ' got the
thing squelched."
The palm was unanimously voted to
diately furnished to take them to the
‘depot so that they might reach the :last
horse car for Norwalk. Owing to the
sudden retreat I am not able to say how
the battle ended. Llen'r Bureaus. '

, David Davis is a big man with a big .
head, and his utterances ilways carry big
weight. Ergo, the following on the sub-
ject of the local paper, from his lips, may
be depended upon ;.,.
Eve ear every local r gives from
$109 3%,000 free lines. orpt‘he sole bene-
fit of the community in which itls located.
No other agency can or will do this. The'
local editor in ropertion to his means
does more for h s town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness, man with man,
he on ht to be en ported, not because you
may , ppm to he him or admire his
writing, but because a local paper is the
best investment acommunity can make-
It may not be brilliant or crowded with
great thou hts, but financial] it is more
of a bone t to a commun ty than the
preacher or teacher. Understand us now,
we do not mean morally or intellectually,
but financially, and yet on the moral nes-
tion yen.will n d the ma ority of the- coal
papers are on t is right a do of the ques-
tion. _ To-daythe e itors of local papers
do the most work for the least money of
any men on earth. Subscribe to your
local paper, not as a charity, but as an
investment. ' .

i The Bell Telephone.
World concerning the Pan-Electric ~Tele-
phone company, wlilcli secmsto have
statesmen at Washington, his directed
public attention to, telephone matters in
general, and especially to that giant mo-
nopoly, the American Bell Telephone
company. Never in the history of Ameri-
ca, nor in the history of any other country,
has a corporation grown to such: dimen-
sions in so short a time as the Bell Tele-
phone company. Bell’s application-for a
patent was received at the Patent oliicc in
Washington Februa'ry‘l4, 1876, and it"ls‘a
remarkable fact, which adds to the re.
mantle interest, to say nothing'of the legal '
phases ‘of the story, that~ an implication
for a patent on a speaking telephone was
received from Professor Elisha Gray, of
The patent was granted to Bell on the
ground of the difference in the time, and
not because of any difference in the merit
of the claims. '. , .
Bell took his telephone to the Centennial
Exposition, where it was‘seen and experi-
merited with by thousands of visitors, who
never suspected it would come, to more
than an ingenious plaything. It was two
years after the Centennial 'thht’ the first
telephone exchanges under the Bell patent
were established, though a company had
been organized in 1877. It was not until
1879 that the new method of communion.
tiou was firmly established as a commer.
the tobacco dust raised during the march. the Congregational churclfion the work cial and 900““ necessity, and from “I“
year dates the marvelous growth and suc.
cess of the Bell, company. Its capital
stock on the 31st of December, 1884, was
824,000,000; -
Up to the 15th of January, 1885, the
total dividends paid the 'f'lltockholders
amounted to about $4,000,000; The orig-
inal investors in Bell telephone stock paid
from .90 to 840'per Shire."‘Since‘then‘
the stock has been, increased orm‘{wetiii-ell";~
each, so that the original holder. has now
eight shares for every‘ enei’that he. first ,
held, and what he paid say 830 for is now
worth $1,200. '
On the 1st of January, 1885, Abe Bell
3 company controlled in United States and
Territories 772:exchanges, 107,440 circuits,
101,734 miles of wire, gave» service to 5,168
employees, and had 134,000' subscribers. ,
It‘s pay-roll last year averagodabout $10.-
000 a month or about ammo a year.
The employees are nearly‘all. girls .who”
receive very small salaries. “The expenses
are very light, the original cost of property
small and the income sure. ,,.As a menop-
oly of the modern school it,_;has no rival,
and what it will attain to‘in another ' ten
years, unless checked in its progress, no
one would undertake to foretell. A com-
pany that has a combined salary and tax
expense of $150,000 a year, with an in-
come of 82,000,000 a year, is a, fine illus-V
tration of the modern scheme of money-
making. . , ..
A number of men have grown very rich
through small investments made in Bell
telephone stock five or six, years ago.
, Professor Bell, who makes his home. in
,Washington; is supposed to be worth
$4,000,000, He was originally a Massa-
chusetts man, and when he applied for his
first patent he was a teacher of languages
in a school for deaf and dumb. It was
through his Boston acquaintanceship that
the first company was organized. W. H.
Forbes, of Boston, is the president. He
is said to be worth from $5,900,000 to ,
88,000,000, which comfortable sum has
accumulated on an original investment of
864,000. Other Massachusetts men who
have made fortunes the .same way are
Gardner G. Hubbard, of Boston, said to be
worth 83,000,000. C. P.‘ Bowditch, of
Boston, and vice-president .of the com-
pany, is said to be worth fully as much.
TheodoreH. Vail is themanager of the
company and is a millionaire two or three
times over. The. schedule of charges of
telephone service in the city of New York
is outrageous. In the business part of the
city as much as 812.504.:month‘is charged
for a single instrument, while a- private
line costs .60 a monthza. This is believed
to be out of all proportion to :cost. of the
service, and public sentiment cries out
loudly for some competition that shall
lower the charges to some jiration‘al basis.
As it is now every improvement in tele-
phones is cut off, and r. Bell sits sstride
the element of electricity and drives away
all comers. ~ "

It is a matter of regret that introducing
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, its proprietors are
obliged to overcome a certain distrust by
some people who have unfortunately
bought worthless compounds mixed by
erscns ignorant of pharmacy. Messrs.
. I. Hood & Co., are reliable pharmacists
of long experience and they make no
claims for Hood’s Sarsa arilla which can.
not be substantiated y the stron est
proof. And We say to those who
confidence, read the unsolicited testimoni-
alstin favor of . Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
then prove its merits by actual personal

disappointed, but_will find it a medicine
of (great value which can be implicitly re-
