The South Norwalk Democracy having
no organ in that town, the Evening Senti-
nel, a Republican paper, devotes a column
to their intercst.—Greemoz'ch erhic.
The above is hardly exact. The Santi-
nel, we believe, pretends and intends to
be neutral in politics. - Its editor has al—
ways been known as a democrat, but in
this campaign he is out and out against
free trade. We can see no impropriety in
such a paper openly selling its space either
to the democrats or republicans. But for
an out and out republican paper to sell its
1 news columns to its political opponents
seems to us very much like a good Con-
gregationalist or other person selling a
chance to some betrodox preacher to teach
his people error and schism.
NORWA_I:K GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15,
Mrs. Henry Cornell, of South Norwalk,
is visiting friends in town—New (Jo/man
Messenger.
Oh no she isn’t. When the irrcligious
editor of the Sentinel gobbled the above
persona] from the GAZETTE, be added
“New” to our plain “Canaan,” in Litcb
field 00., and so you got caught by his
wickedness, too, friend Kirk, but we fer—
give you both.
Fire in the upper part of Frccland’s sta-
blcs in Danbury on Friday night threaten—
ed to sweep adjoining large blocks, but
was promptly got under control. The fire
was breaking out at the roof when first
seen, and a delay of only a few minutes
would bavo caused a great loss. ‘ The
building was not much damaged, but a
quantity of furniture recently stored in
the loft was destroyed.
Certainly the most persistent and skill-
ful efforts will be needed to give Connect-
icut to the democrats in the face of the
Mills bill. We are confident, however,
that Hon. Wm. ll. Barnum is able _to (II-
rect the canvas of the democrats in .thc
state of Connecticut with wisdom, Vigor
and succes, if success is obtainable. His
chances of being successful would be
greatly increased if such wild free traders
as the New Haven Register would keep
their mouths shun—JV. Y. Sun.
Grover Wilson started out gaily decked
as he thought for last week’s secret demo-
cratic meeting, but before he reached the
silent spot of the expected conclavc, some
one called his attention to the fact that it
was his Harrison badge be had put on by
mistake. Well, it isn’t to be wondered at
that any native born American gels “mix-
ed up” when he attempts to play second
fiddle to our friend Toner's bossing of the
party. .
The train containing the remains of
Gen. P. H.Slieridan passed through South
Norwalk Thursday morning at. 3.20
o’clock. It was attached to the Washing-

nearly three hours late. The funeral train
comprised three cars. They Were the
Pennsylvania, the private car of Vice Pre-
sident Thompson of the Pennsylvania

ing car Idlcwild. Mrs. General Sheridan
and her immediate party occupied the pri-
vate car.

Said an enthusiastic native of the Green

buy :—“I wonder how many boats and
how many people would be down here
waiting to see His Royal Nibs, Mr. Cleve-
land, were be coming in from across the
sea, and had he been cheated out' of his
election to the Presidency four years ago
as Mr. Blaine was ?"
The higher courts of New Jersey have
lately decided that the Cigar Makers In—
ternationa] Union have no established
right either to the form or wording of
their shop label, and that it is no crime to
counterfeit. If this decision holds good
it knocks out the legality of the batters
union label also—Danbury Register.
The above as far as it relates to the bat.
tcrs is incorrect. The mark used in all
union made fur hats is not. a label but a
trade mark,registered under the U. S. Pat-
outlaws by a company incorporated un-
der the laws of Connecticut, and any one
counterfeiting the same is liable to a fine
of one thousand do]lars.—Record
The Sentinel rises to explain that the
Democrats only took a single thousand
copies of its lively little daily, instead of a
thousand every day, as rumor bad it,
when a Democratic apostle of free trade
first assayed to fill the purchased column
of reading matter space. We are sorry
to bear this‘ both on account of the loss of
revenue to our worthy contemporary and
because of the good a wider circulation of
the Sentinel would do the Republican
cause. especially since “Citizen" has be-
gun to “elucidate.” But we are not sur—
prised that the Democracy of Norwalk
should feel that a single thousand copies
of Citizen'smediciuewas enough for them.
For the first time in its history The (Jen-

Gilman ant “ The Industrial Idea in Edu-
cation,” by Charles M. Carter. One illus-
trated paper is on “ College fraternities,”

liouses and society balls at Yale, Havard,
Princeton and other colleges, and another
is on “ Uppingham : an Ancient School
Worked on Modern Ideas,” with a num-
ber of illustrations byJoscpb Pennel], and
a portrait of the late headmaster, Edward
Thring, who is said to be, since Arnold of
Rugby, the most highly esteemed educator
of England. There will also be several
important short editorial articles and
“open letters” on different branches of the
same subject. Other distinctive features
of the same magazine, the Lincoln history,
Siberian papers, ’fl‘ction, etc., will, how—
ever, be retained.
Republican : In these days when there
is “so much lying in our land," “a bit of

Change your word “quantity" to "qual-

Eight. journeyincn batters, representing
12,000 Workers of their craft in five differ-
ent States, appeared before the Senate
tariff sub-committee Wednesday, and made
a strong appeal for protection against
what they claim to bc misinterpretation or
maladministration of the present tariff
law. They represent that. by reason of the
action of the authorities, hats, which are
absolutely finished, with the exception,
perhaps, of the band, the binding, or the
lining—hats upon which all the work of
their craft has been done—are admitted as
unfinished goo is at. 20 per cent. ad val-
orcm. The undervaluaiions constantly
practiced, together with the low rate of
duty, they, declare, are destroying their
means of livelihood. This year, they as ,
fully one-half the bats necessary to supp y
the market will be imported, with a cor-
responding rednciion of the aggregate in-
come of the working batters. Silk, which
bears an ad valorcm duty of 50 per cent.,
these men represent, comes in by the mil-
lion yards, under the rulings of the de-
partment, at 20 per cent. as trimmings.
Among the papers presented was a pet-
ition said to bear the signature of every
journeyman batter of Bethel, Conn., 540
in number, irrespective of party, asking
for protection.
OBITUARY.
George G. Bishop ;
Another of Norwalk's older and promi-
uent business men has passed from earth
to the life eternal. Mr. George G. Bishop
“fell on sleep" at 8 o‘clock, on Friday eve-
ning last, at his home here in Norwalk,
the town where eighty six years ago- he
was born. In early manhood lie evinced
conspicuous energy and unusual business
slircwducss, elements that brought to him
fume and fortune in the broadest commer—
cial sense. On April 8th, 1824, be joined
St, John's Lodge, F. A. M., of Norwalk,
and was a charter member of Washington
Chapter in 1827. He spent several years
in England and Belgium introducing the
improved method of felting woolen fabrics,
a process in which he had become absorb—
iugly interested. Returning to the United
States, he wns the chief mover in the or—
ganization of the Union Manufacturing
Company, which proved a mine of wealth
to our town and many of our old time cit—
izens. In nmst have been near the year
1837, that this great corporate interest was
created, which during the subsequent
half century, has paid out in wages alone
to our town’s work people, millions of
dollars to promote the growth and pros—
perity of Norwalk. For several years past
he has suffered from a sort of dumb pal—
scy and dccrcpitudc, caused as be thought
by lead poisoning. Yet. during all these
years his mind has been clear and all his
instincts keenly on the alert on any point.
of business success or advantage. He has
outlived his two wives. The first Mrs.
Bishop, the wife of his early manhood and
mother of all his children, was a woman
of most lovable qualities of lit-ad. and
heart, but alas, she was fated with the in-
beritcd seed of consumption. His last
wife, who died but-:a short time since, was
the daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Collins.
But it. is as a successful busmess man that
minds of his fellow men.
[lis funeral was conducted at St. Paul’s
yesterday at 3 p. m. ' ‘His Masonic
bretliern joining Rev. Mr. Clnpp in com—
mitting his remains to the family vault in
the church yard. Of all his children, but
one son, Mr. W. Frank Bishop and three
grand children, survive him. It is under—
stood that he bas‘left a will and the dispo—
sition of his large estate and multiplied
business interests, will awaken more than
ordinary curiosity and interest. Some
entertain the view that has made provision
for a public library for his native town or
some other public benefaclion, but all
such snrmising can have little else than
idlcconjectnre for a foundation. A sad
repetition of one of the painful incidents
attendant upon the recent death of his son
Adolphus, may be properly stated here.
It will be remembered that this son’s wife
by then the son’s wife’s mother, and
then the son, were all in the brief space of
a few days stricken by death. While
Mr. Bishop was lying at. the point of death
Mrs. Frank Bishop, who was at his bed-
side a faithful and sorrowing assistant
was summoned by telegraph to New York
and the sudden and fatal illness of her
own mother and Monday she and her
husband followed that mother’s remains
to the grave and next day Tuesday, they
twain followed the mortal part of Mr.
Bishop's aged father to his final sep-
ulch re .

Sheridan Dead.
N. 1'. Herald.
Philip Henry Sheridan, the commander-
inchief of the army, died at his summer
residence at ten o'clock Sunday evening.
The death of this illustrious man is the
going out of a great light. Something
seems taken from our glory, as if a star
had fallen from the constellations. For
more than twenty years this sovereign
captain has been the embodiment of the
enthusiasm of the war. Grant was like
the glacier, crushin mountains and en-
cavcrning seas, slow y moving to his aim;
Sherman the thunderbolt. Thomas the
storm-contemmng crag. But Sheridan
seemed the inspiration of the war, its
movement, life, genius, the incarnation
of its combat and its glory, and around
whose name clustered its imagination, its
poetry and its romance.

And now the Democrats are running
round declaring that Mr. Cary in his free
trade speech the other night, did
not . say that if he could. have his
way he would make every emigrant
pay a thousand dollars before he
landed in this free country,: and
he would crowd on the highest possible
whiskey tax. But he said these things
just the same, ant] left his foreign born
hearers to reflect where they would have
been new if they had been forced to pay a
thousand dollars before they landed. And
though he promised to make the matter
clear to the smallest boy in the house,
the propriety is, for example taking oil
the $1.00 duty on salt and allow English
salt makers to crush this infant enterprise
in this country, while he would have a
license so high that the liquor trade would
become a monopoly in the hands of a few.
Yet quote Cary :-"Down with the mono-
polies."

Mr. Joseph Mills who, during the past.
dozen years has only had one day off in

commencing last. week Monday by going
as delegate from Compo Engine 00., to the
convention of the State Fircmcu’s associa-
tion in Norwich. Tuesday hcinvestigatcd
various portions of the stale hitherto a
blank to him. Wednesday found him at
Parlor Rock with the Westport M. E. and
Congregational clmrcb Sunday schools.
Thursday he was looking after unfamiliar
characters. Friday he went. to New York
and returning by the City of Albany saw
the great Joggins pile raft. Saturday was
uneventful except as a wind up. He will
take in the Danbury fair in October, same
as if this week’s events had not occurred.
The ladies of Westport who believe they
should be protected in their right to leave
clothes on their lines over night when oc-
casion requires it, are thanking officer
Frederick Kcmpcr for his prompt work in
seeking to apprehend the scoundrcls who
took advantage of their confidence on
Monday evening, Aug. 6. The prcceeding
day had been rainy but being wash day
clothes everywhere were hung out but (lid
not dry. They were allowed to remain.
Tuesday morning in many instances they
were gone. Mr. Kempcr, learning the
facts, began search and in short order
learned that an old barn in Soutliport just
over the Westport line was a depository
for stolen clothing aiitl be watched the
place. While thus engaged a colored ninn
giving his name as Randolph Sickhs came
in the burn either to inake a fresh clothes
deposit or to take clothes away. He was
arrested, brought before Justice Finch,
anti not giving a satisfactory account of
himself, was bound over for trial in Super-
ior court. A search of the barn brought
to light many pieces of wash goods with
the initials of the owners thereon. It is
believed there is an organized gang engag-
ed in this nefarious work, but nothing
could be drawn from the wily Sickles as a.
clcw. Search will be continued. As every
lady in town is interested in this matter
the names so far as known of those who
suffered the loss of articles are given :—-
Mrs. Serene Allen, Mrs. Hezekiah Lyon,
Mrs. Daniel Belts, Mrs. Henry A. Ogden,
Mrs. John D. Wood, Mrs. Charles Rider.

Mr. Amzi Lockwood, who has been

up thus: Many patrons noticing that the
larger half of the building has been con—
verted into tenements think the whole of
it thus occupied. The truth is more work
in his line is going on there since the
change than before. Hence the sign.
Joseph Ennis, in the employ of Landon

INCREASE YOUR PENSION. ,
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
loaiiineh higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Ina great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase ofraie, and in most cases
where it. was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal thati formerly, and better rating can
be bad for many disabilities. Iinake a specialty
of .\'cglcclcd and Rejected Claims, and if you Will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented, 1 will obtain :l
rehearing of your case, and, if it. has merit, will
procure a favorable settlement. Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers qu/ilrfug toil/1. disabilities
contracted in service, who have not upplicdfm: a
pension, should do so as it is [-lll‘il' lthlI'l'.

Merchandisingis only one part of the
' Store idea.
We make that part as thrifty as we know how. In
sunrise or sunset lands, or at home, no new thing can be
produced but we find it out, if it is a thing that should
be here. That you know very well if yOu know the
store at all. And you know that getting things on our
shelves grinds their prices to the lowest point.
From January to January, busy minds are planning
new things and better things for you. There is no “good
enough” point for us. Better qualities, better shapes,
better service, is the all-the-year-round aim. The yes-
terday standard won’t do for to-day. The look is all the
' time ahead.
And yet buying and selling is only one part of our
doing here.
While we are reaching out to the ends of the earth

It is something to know that in the very heart of
this great cityis a Meeting and Resting Place where you
are always welcome. Checks for your parcels, (no mat-
ter how many, no matter how often you come), Reading
looms, Retiring Rooms, and not a cent to pay. Walk
about, look about. You won’t attract attention. Hun-
dreds. maybe thousands, are walking and looking just
as you are. The place don’t seem like an ordinary store

nook and not for a moment feel like an intruder, or as if
anyone begrudgcd you elbow room. No one seems to
see you or to care what you do. You realize that you
are welcome as a locker-011. ‘

you than anywhere else you can go outside your own
