She thereupon gave up fishing and has not since returned to it. ~Wade, the song-bird of the Pioneers, Opera House tomight. 1t paid Fish Commissioner Blackford calls at- tention to the fact that the Connecticut river shad season “has been a failure, and the catch insignificant.

J., is gaining a wide repu- tation as a sort of Gretna Green for elep- ing New York and Philadelphia couples. One Methodist clergyman is said to aver- age 140 marriages a month.

Oliver Hoyt of Stam- ford will be sincely lamented throughout the state and will cause sorrow to a large circle of friends in other states. He was a fine example of a self-made New England boy, rising from poverty by honesty and enterprise to a position of wealth and prominence, and always using his wealth and his influence for, noble and useful ends. His death is a loss to the state.

But as this has got me into trouble I will never again touch a drop of malt or spirituous liquor. Next Sunday I will explain the situation to my Clarkstown people and ask them to excuse me from drinking with them in future.

Poor “Abe” is himself again and about our streets as joyous as aswamp black- bird. Poor fellow, he has much to con- tend with and his case ought never to have reached Bridgeport. What with staggering under the leadership of the Norwalk democracy, with his occasional excssive indulgences in Norwalk “Jeffer- sonian simplicity,” poor Abe has but a sorry time of it, and is invarible more sinned against than sinning. Teachers’ Convention. The Fairfield County Teachers’ associ- atiOn held its eleventh anniversary meet- ing in theSouth Norwalk Franklin school building on Friday and Saturday, 20th and 2lst inst. Rev. Edward Anderson gave some ex- cellent advice to the teachers in an address of welcome. The subject of industrial drawing and reading, with a class exer. cise in calisthenics by the pupils of the South Norwalk school,:occupied the morn- ing session. Mr. Lampsou, of Bridgeport, showed by arguments, as well as by work done by the pupils of the Bridgeport schools under his direction, that industrial drawing was an important factor in the training of the mind of the pnpil,ns well as thelhand and eye. , Mrs. Banks, of the same place, thought the teacher would do more good by de- veloping and strengthening the organs of speech by appropriate exercises—than by having the pupils just read around, which is merely pronouncing the words withou t any regard to the sense; cenveycd. No subject is so neglected and poorly taught in our schools, and the chief reason is because the teachers do not know how to teach it in the most efficient manner. Calisthenic exercises were given by a class of pupils from the South Norwalk school. Thr exercises were nicely per- formed, reflecting great credit on Miss Gregory, the instructor, and Miss Selleck, who so efiiciently aided them with the piano. In the afternoon Professor Morrill spoke on elementary, science in the public schools. It was evident from his show- ing, that any teacher witha little ambition and interest in his work, can not only teach the principles of such facts as light. ing and telegraphy, but can, with the aid of his pupils, make all the apparatus. The question of industrial education in the public schools was presented by Dr. Nichols Butler, of New York city. This was one of the best lectures of the session. He said the object of industrial work was not to teach trades to the pupils, but to teach the eye to delineate and the hand to perfect what the mind had conceived, thus making industrial work one of the best means of mental training, and also fitting the boy better to enter upon any trade it he so wished. In a word it is putting the idea of the pupil in tangible form. George A. Littlcfield, of Newport, R. 1., delivered a lecture in the evening on “What constitutes a good school." It was a_ good lecture and: well delivered, al- though there were but afew to listen to it. ‘ Saturday mornin Miss Luddingtou, of the Normal school, ew Britain, gave a very fine class exercise in number in pri- mary grades. George A. Littlefield read a paper on school examinations. - Miss’ Lewis, of 'South Norwalk, closed the convention with a on exercises in local geography. The following are the officers for the ensuing year: President, E. S. Hall, South Norwalk; vice-president, M. A. Warren, Greenwich; secretary. Miss Chap- man Westport; treasurer, W. W. Porter, Bridgeport. _____....____ Necessary Discipline. The soldiers’ home at Darien having be- come a. state institution, the rules and regulations have been revised and the in- mates have been informed that all pen- sions due them must be made payable to the management of the institution, to be forwarded to dependent relatives of the pensioner if he has any, and otherwise to go into the treasury of the home. An- other rule is that the inmates shall not leave the premises without the consent of the superintendent. The old soldiers were given two weeks to decide whether they would sign a paper agreeing to obey the rules and at the expiration of that time fourteen out of about a. hundred refused and were given transportation to their homes.‘ Colonel White said yesterday afternoon that these rules were made by a board of directors composed of six meni- bers. Five of the six were old soldiers and they surely would not do anything to op- pose the best interests of the inmates of the home. Some of the men have been in the habit of going off on a grand spree as soon' as they received their pensions, re- turning to the home as soon as their money was spent. Those ,who have left cannot return under three months unless special provision is made by the board of directors. - Ada E. Arden. The funeral of Ada ' E. Arden, daughter of Mrs. Mattie E. Arden, was held at the Bethe] A. M. E. Church, Sunday, the 22nd inst., Rev. P. M. Laws. officiating. After prayers at the house, the body was taken to the church, four boys of the Sunday-school acting as pail bearers, and the flowers were so numerous that it took three boys of the Sunday-school to carry them. Among the most choice was an anchor, presented by Mr. Abraham Showles; harp, by relatives from New York ; wreath and boquet, by members of North Center School; very beautiful bunches of lillies were presented by Mrs. Charles Dennis, High street. and Miss Libbie Selleck; baskets by Mrs. M. W.‘ Starr, Mr. Anderson and Mrs. John Cotter. Many other beautiful flowers were presented by ‘Mrs. Wm. B. Nash, Miss Katie Johnson, Mrs. Partric, Mrs. Haulenbeck, East street, Mrs. Russell, Beuty street, Mrs. Wm. Randle, Mrs. H. A. Armstead, Mrs. Carrie Thompson, and Mrs. Lucy Nichols. O . The Circus. The Frank A. Robbins’ Circus was one of the cleanest exhibitions of the kind in every respect. which has ever pitched its tents in Norwalk. Its trained elephants were a marvelous exhibition of the extent to which these huge animals can be educated. The other features of the show were fully up to any similar exhibitions. Our circus going populace will be more than glad to greet its advent here again. O The Soldier Dead. Members ofvthe G. A. R. particularly re- quest that relatives or friends of any soldier who has died since last Decoration Day, will be present at Union Cemetery on Sunday next, from 9 to 10 a. m., to point out the graves to the Committee, who will be pre- sent to mark them so that they may not be omitted in the strewing of flowers on Mon- day. and fined for assault, in accordance with . Fires. At about half-past twelve Monday night fire was discovered in ashed just ofi‘ Hoyt The alarm was sounded from box 15 by Chief Lockwood, and in about three minutes the Phoenix boys had a stream of water play- ing on the flames, some of the firemen, luck- ily being in the engine house at the time the alarm struck. The prompt measures of the firemen saved the adjoining buildinr s— the Arnold foundry, tenements, etc. The damage was not much, the shed being an unused building. and the theory is that somebody- perhaps a tramp—got into it and accidentally set it on fire. Bridgeport had a $i00,000 fire last Friday afternoon, which burned the large soap fac- tory of Fairchild & Shelton; loss $45,000, insurance $20,000; the large ianucry owned by l’. T. Barnum and S. D. Castle, in s $30,- 000, insurance $10,500; the large tenement house owned by Mary Morrissey, loss $3,500, insurance $1,300 ; the double dwelling owned by Zolmore Goodsell, loss $6,000, insured ; the tenement owned by Barnum Sr. Castle, loss $5 000, partially insured; the double dwelling owned by Peter and Michael O’Hara. loss $5,000, insurance $2,200. There were eleven familes burned out who lost their entire household effects. Some of the families barely escaping with their lives. The U. S. Express stables at Jersey City, were burned Sunday and only 35 out of 300 horses saved. _ The Bridgeport Post of Tuesday evening gives the particulars of another fire in Bridgeport, which occurred Monday evening: About 0 o’clock last night Ferguson & Peet closed up their furniture store at 28 Fairfield avenue and went to Wagner’s summer gar- den. They had been there but a short time when an alarm of fire was sounded from box 27 at the corner of Wall and Water streets and soon after they were informed that the fire was in the cellar of their store. Steam- ers 1 and 5 and the hook and ladder truck were prompt in their response and as water was plenty the fire was soon extinguished. A large quantity of hair, excelsior, husks, furniture frames and other light material was stored in the cellar. This was all dam- aged and a great part of it ruined. The total 10% will probably reach about $500 which is fully covered by insurance. The buslding is a part of Hanford Lyon estate. The floor timbers were burned some but the damage was not heavy. The origin of the fire is not known, but the most plausible theory is spontaneous combestion. The entire village of Torch Lake, Mich , a village of 5,000 inhabitants, was destroyed by fire Friday. Loss $2,000,000. Artificial Ventilation of Sewers. A member of the board of sewer com- missioners of Detroit, after ten years of careful observation, advocates a furnace and chimney of strong draught at the mouth of the main sewer, to create a con- stant suction of the gases away from the houses and into a consuming chamber in the furnace. He believes that the deadly post of sewer gas will never be got rid of but by some system of unvarying artificial ventilation of sewers. The method he proposes, says one scientist, could be more eflectively operated by a comparatively small gas flame with proper flue building than with a costly coal fire, provided the gases can be otherwise neutralized or ’dis- posed of. -—————-. Our Village Post Office. The spirit of genuine Cleveland reform is ruling at our village Post Office. The dingy old quarters have been “swept and gar- nished” with paint and paper, till all the aforetime “Jefiersonian simplicity” has been obliterated. Of course Post Master Golden had to get Republican Chauncey Plait to do it all, but that became a. political ne- cessity, nevertheless the public will rejoice that our Post Master‘s generous landlord has so pleasingly renovated Uncle Samuel’s headquarters here. It was deserved. 50 U TH-N OR WALK. Mr. Louie Nash. of Brooklyn N. Y. has rented one of the cottages, owned by F. S. Lyon located on Bay View avenue. After an absence of weeks, Mr. Frank Comstock was again at his factory on Saturday. His many friends'will rejoice at his recovery. ' ' Editor Lyon is the boss punster. Hear him. “The greatest end of our libel suit, was the “Lightest end." His lawyer’s name is “Light.” Paint and white washis being plenti- fully used on city cottages Canary color, with ,,Maroon trimings,’ prevails. The Volk cottage takes the lead. ~ It was a lucky circumstance that“Gene” was at the depot at one o’clock on Wed- nesday morning, when a fire was dis-' covered in a small building near Whistle- viile. As the police had not discovered it, he persuaded the Engineer to give the alarm by blowing the Locomotive whistle. The alarm was given in the same manner for the fire at Sherman's stable. An effort will now be made to place “Gene” upon the police force. The “hegira” of thirsty citizens, men- tioned in one of the Borough locals, took place, whether out of fear of the law or that it was much more convenient, and less risky in the city we cannot say, a close watch was ”set over the doors of two brick buildings on Water street, one hav- ing a rear entrance, the‘ other, a side entrance, where, between the hours of 8 a. m. and 8p. m. 06 boys and men entered, apparently sober. During that time 19 came out drunk. About 2 o’clock a pair of young men were rolled out, and for a little time, lay upon the side walk, one recovered sufficiently to stagger away, and the other crawled to the stoop, where he sat, hafless, until an employs of J. R. Raymond’s passed. Seeing his condition, he returned picked the but from the gutter, placed it on the owner’s head, and started him off. Two places on Main street one with an entrance in the rear, and one on Ann street seemed to have a good trade. At least, there was conclusive evidence that some who came out, had — imbibed something stronger than ginger beer. Not apoliceman was seen in either location during these hours. MIDDLE FIVE MILE RIVER. . Rev. Edward Anderson will preach a Me- morial sermon on Sunday next, at 4.45 p. m., at Brookside Chapel, Middle Five Mile River. Visitors, including Grand Army men from the Union Cemetery will be pres sent and appropriate musical. exercises are Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Nowell, of Brooklyn, have secured board for the summer at Mrs. Hoyt’s, Middle Five Mile River. The children of Brookside Chapel have distinguished themselves in the last fort- night in gathering flowers and fruit blossoms for the Flower Mission, in New York. ‘ —-————‘.’—_ ,. DAREN. The fire that destroyed the pretty little M. E. church and parsonage, still con- tinues as much a mystery as over, yet there is little doubt in the general mind, but that it was of incendiary origin. At all events, it should lead to the immediate organization of at least a hand engine company or if nothing better, then a fire- bucket brigade. Too much property is now at stake to be longer left to the risk of destruction by fire without so much as a neighborhood hand-pail brigade. BEDDHVG. Last Thursday, Rev. W. J.

At the meeting of the Willow Brook Cemetery Association held last week it was voted to advance the price of lots after 00', let, to 20 cents per foot on the drives and 17 cents of the foot Walks. The marriage of Mr. H. C. Lathrop, of ‘Windham to Miss Mary Belle, daughter of Cashier, Woodworth of the First National Bank, took place on Thursday morning at the residence of the bride’s parents on State street. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. J. E. Tuttlc pastor of the Congregational church of which the bride was a member. Outside of the relatives the only guests were the members of Miss Woodworth’s Sunday school class. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served after which the newly wedded couple took the cars for an, extended bridal tour followed by the congratulation and good wishes of their friends. On Sunday evening the Congregational Sunday school celebrated its fifty-fourth anniversary. The church which was profusely and tastefully decorated with flowers, was filled to its utmost capacity. After the opening exercises which con- sisted of singing, responsive reading, and prayer, the presentation of the offerings by the classes took place which amounted to two hundred and seven dollars and forty-six cents. The secretary’s report showed that the total membership of the school was two hundred and two consist- ing of one hundred and seventy-nine scholars, and seventeen teachers and eight ofilcers. The average attendance during the year was. ninety-four. The receipts during the year amounted to $470.48, and the ainount expended was $312.63 leaving ’abaiance of $157.85 in the treasury. Rev. J. E. Tuttle pastor'of the church stated in the course of his remarks that the school was never in a more prosperous condition; that during the year thirty-three had united with the church from the school. After the address by the pastor the dis- tribution of the premiums" took place, which was an interesting part of the exercises to many of the scholars who were to receive them. Altogether it was one of the most enjoyable anniversary occasions for many years *— Sick nasal-ciao and; relieve all the trauma 13c:- Cent to a billous state of the system, such ii:- 2121 It uses, Drowsin Distress after 9:11:35 the Side, kc. win manna-hm shownfncnsing , abbemsshasbeen 1. cmé'smnemrmamequm Enighloei'n’gonstipotion, c and inventing int o co while 1 :1 correct :11 We“ the stoh’isch. stim the liver and . mummmcc uiate regulate the bowels.

Lime adds to the weight, while it detracts from therstrepgth of the baking powder. It also renders the food less wholesome, giving rise to dyspepsia. and kindred ailments. Baking. powders ' containing lime produce less leavening gas, and therefore in use are more expensive than a first-class, pure article. , The Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar that is first specially refined and made chemically pure. No tartrate of lime or other impurity can find its way into the “ Roy ,” and to this fact its great superiority in strength, whole- sameness and keeping quality is due.
