The daily Sentinel was one year old on
Monday. The rapid progress it has made
and the hold it has taken on the public
appreciation are abundant assurance that
it is no longer an experiment, but a well
established fact and fixture. Long life
to it.

eye fixed on the title of colonel. He shies
his castor into the ring and boldly item--
inates Gen. S. E. Merwin for governor two

cle as Willard Perkins, Waterbury’s fat
man, sliding down a toboggau shute on a
barrel stavc.—Ansom'n Sentinel.

of it.

made a free delivery office, the carrier
equipment having arrived from Washing--
ton. Now the boys will rush for appoint--

come first. We know; we have been
there.—Danlrury Register.
Southern impetuosity was illustrated at
Birmingham, Ala., at midnight Saturday

The narrowing of the Sidewalk in front
of the Donovan property on Main street,
before the buildings are moved back,would
seem to be a piece of short sighted policy.
At one point the-sidewalk is hardly four
feet wile from building to curb. making
it necessary for pedestrians to pass each
other iii srngle file or else walk in the gut-
ter. The idea of widening the street by
shiiirkirig‘tl.e sidewalks is hardly what
the public expected.
'l‘hc'lastoT the,pre-.ient series of five

class evening’s enjoyment is assured In
all who attend, as the sociables in point
of‘good, company and good time are
second to none. It is not definitely
known whether the sociables will be eon—
tinued all through the winter as has been
the custom in previous years, as they
have not so far prove-d a financial success.
It is a curious fact that newspaper men
rarely become insane, although the harass.
ing nature of their duties, with a daily
host of details to attend to, is seemingly
of just the character to break down the
mental faculties. The annual report of
the Connecticut hospital for the insane at
Middletown shows that only one news-~
piper man was under treatment there
since the Lospitul was established in 1808.
That was a n porti r, a disciple of Hafiz,

The notorious Owen Rice after doing
several months in jail. got into a big row
Saturday night on Water street. He was
found by Special Officer Wilson, trying to
smash in the door of a saloon because he
was refused admittance. He broke a large
light of glass and when the officer arrested
him he undertook to do up the ofiicial.
Several other officers came to Wilson’s as-
sistance and with much difficulty and con-
siderable locust persuasion he was taken
in. The court sent him to jail for 120

rendered efilcit ntservicc and did not let
any of the tires which it was possible to
extinguish get the better of them. The
fire record in the bororrglr was the largest
for a number of years—Sentinel.
Veri'y the lnnest simplicity of the den
izens of Port Jefferson is as striking as
John Wade painted it. A correspondent
from that town recently reported in his
budget of items to a neighboring paper
that a certain Mr. Colin, (3 clothier, as the
the name suggests.) contemplated moving
his business into an adjoining building.
Mr Cohn got mad at the innocent para-
graph and frantically branded it as “a lie.”
The correspondent promptly got up on
his dignity, seized his pen and wrote this
blood curdliug retort to the paper in which
the item originally appeared, which
quickly settled the matter: “If your cor—
respondent was wrong, as Mr. Cohn says,
he is ready to retract, as no harm was in-
tended."
Tire aurual election of the borough fire
department took place on Tuesday even—
ing at 8:15 o’clock. It was the first elec—

committee of the court of burgcsses. Mr.
J. T. l’rowitt, the present chief engineer,
was re elected, and F. W. Smith, of
Pioneer Hook and Ladder company, and
Thomas S. Murray, of Phoenix Engine

Ameeting of the citizens of Norwalk
' borough, South Norwalk and East Nor—
walk is to be held in the Armory this
evening (Tuesday, the evening on which
the annr'rs goes to press) to discuss the
feasibility and advisability of consolidat—
ing the three sections mentioned under a
city government. The eloquent talkers of
each district will be Well represented to
argue pro andjcon, and the discussion will
be interesting. There is much to be said
for and against the coWdatiOn scheme,
and although the pres movement may
come to naught, the .ja'fi’fitiou is one that
is bound to be kept alive until it event-
uilly terminates in some sort of alliance
calculated to do away with the absurdity
of a triple gOVernment.
The transfer boat. Maryland of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. was burn.
ed to the water’s edge soon after midnight
Friday in the Harlem river with two Pull-
man curs, two ordinary coaches and an
“accommodation car.” There were 24
passengers in the cars at the time of the
fire, but they were rescued as well as the
boat and train hands, without mishap, by
a tugboat. The fire started just as the
men were about to switch the cars off the
boat on the track. A scene of great ex—
citement followed. The total loss will be
nearly $400,000. The boat was a familiar
object to thousands of” soldiers during the
war, to a multitude of visitors to the Gen.
tennial exposition, and in recent years to
tourists bound to Washington and other
southern cities.
—-The demand this season for seal gar-
ments of different shapes has already be—
come large and is sufficiently pronounced
to indicate that they are to be more fash-
ionable than ever. There is no article of
dress which gives a lady at more elegant
appearance than a beautiful, perfectfitting
sealskin garment, and no other garment
will wear so long or give such good satis-
faction if a good one is purchased. The
D. M. Read 00. have always aimed to
keep in stock only such garments as they
can ftilly guarantee to be of the best Alas-
ka seal, London dye and perfect manufac-
ture. During the many years which they
have dealt in seal garments they say they
have not had one returned to them which
proved in any respect other than repre-
sented. They have built up a large trade
by adhering to quality and keep in stock
all shapes and sizes. Small furs are also
seen in monkey, seal, beaver and possum,
on which it is not necessary to quote
prices, but to seekers after seal garments
or furs of any description, the D. M. Read
00., in Bridgeport, offer advantages for
reliable goods.
Ridgefleld is the scene of a peculiar
case. A boy named Henry Mead, aged
15, is under arrest for abducting the four-
year old illegitimate child of his brother,
John Mead, from its mother, Miss Annabel
DeForcst. whom the father had allowed it
visit according to a former agreement by
which the father was gchn full control of
the child. The child had, at stated inter—
vals, been taken to its mother and had
previously always been returned. On the
lust occasion. howover, the mother refused
to give up the child, and the father’s
brother abducted and restored it to its
father}. The boy was arrested for abduc
tion and the case is adjourned to Jan. 3d.
JOhu llead,tlie child’s father, is a bachelor
about 30 years of age, and both he and
his brother live with their grandfather.
Samuel Nichols, a prominent citizen of
Ridgefield. who has taken a deep interest
in the ease, bring deeply attached to the
clild. The case causes a great deal of
gossip in Ridgefield sewing circles.

Says the Bridgeport News :—Oflicers
must appear in fatigue uniform, without
side arms, when they go before the N:r-,
tional guard examining board at its meet -
ing in Hartford, December 26. This is
probably done to prevent the candidates
from turning on their tormentcrs and spit-
ting them like turkeys. First Lieut.

U. Grant Houston, B. S., the “ev..n-
gelisl,"whose eccentric methods Wc rc—
ferred to in last week’s lsSllt‘fit‘CInS to have
become a bone of contention in the quiet
little hamlet of West Norwalk. We have
received two lengthy communications
from parties in West Norwalk. both do
voted to U. Grant Houston, B. 8., one of,
which goes away back of the date of Ill r.
Houston’s birth, to the marriage of his
parents, and gives an elaborate pedigree'
of the whole family, dwelling profoundly
on the remarkable talents of U. Grant:
Houston, B. S., in oratory, literature,
philosophy and his “inventive nature int
bringing into birth new truths and laws.” '
The communication, although prefaced
with a greeting calculated to imply that it
is a sort of certificate from “We, the peo-
ple of West Norwalk,” contains details
and data which give rise to the suspicion
that it was written by U. Grant Houston,
B. S., himself. We cannot use it because
it is too long and too prosy. The other
communication is a caustic criticism of
U. Grant Houston’s course with a vein of
humor and poetry running through it
which would commend its publication,
birt for the fact that it would precipitate a
controversy more voluminous than the
importance of the subject merits. It is
probable that U. Grunt Houston, B. S., at
one time had a brilliant future, a great
portion of which is now behind him. Let
us charitably assume that he has studied
too hard; or had a bad fit of sickness. or
something.
A tall, handsome, stylishly dressed lady
was out in the neighborhood of Union
Park Saturday afternoon wheeling a rich-
ly upholstered and luxuriantly curtained
baby carriage in which a cherub faced in .
fant crooned and smiled in babyish glee.
A big mastilf was chained to the baby car-
riage and walked majestically by its side
in evident pride and consciousness of it
responsibility as guardian of the chariot
and its little queen. A little pug dog
wearing a pretty little russet leather, silver
trimmed harness, frisked playfully about
on all sides, now ahead of the procession
barking at a sheet of paper, again darting
back to chase a sparrow. All went smooth-
ly until a tipsy Irishman was met, when
puggy, who evidently is thoroughly im-
bued with conscientious and pugnacious
scruples against intoxication, manifested
his disapproval by rushing savagely at
Pat’s heels and barking and snapping so
viciously as to frighten the unoffendiug
son of Erin almost into a state of semi-so-
briety. He kicked and cussed so frantic—
ally as to threaten his equilibrium. and
the more he kicked, the more evident was
puggy’s determination to eat him up, boots
and all. The lady, fearful for the safety
of her little pug, let go the handle of the
baby carriage and started to his rescue.
At this juncture the big nrastifl' felt him-
self called upon to take a hand in the fray,
and with a deep, thunderous growl, he
sprang toward the Irishman. The chain
which held him to the carriage, however
was too short, and as it came taut it tilted
the vehicle, baby and all, up on two side
wheels, and nothing but the. prompt, ath—
letic leap of the mother back to the handic‘
saved the whole establishment from an
ignominious collapse. The restraint made
the mastiff all the more eager for the con-
flict and his desperate tugging at the chain
kept the now desperate lady busily en-
gaged in keeping her baby from being
spilled. The child began to cry in fright,
and the excitement of the scene now was
at its height—the little pug barking and
snapping furiously, the big mastiif pulling
and roaring ominously, the baby howling
lustily, and the despairing lady strug-
gling bravely to keep the chariot right side
up and appealing simultaneously in
tones of anguish to all the other characters
in the thrilling drama, about so:
“Peggy, pussy. come away. buggy. .
that horrid man will hurt you—Bruno, be
still, sir—Hush darling, mamma is here,
don't cry—Oh, sir, please don’t kick my
little dog; he won't hurt you.”
“Thin fy the devil don't ye go ’long wid
him ?" responded the now sobered Put as
he delivered a powerful kick that would
have sent puggy clear across the park it
the frisky little beast hadn’t darted to one
side and busied himself chewing on the
other punts leg while the kicking lmot was
still quivering in the air.
Finally the lady succeeded in quietiug
the big Bruno so the carriage would stand
alone, and rushing to the battle field site
grabbed puggy by the breeching of his
harness, and holding him like a pack-
age in a shawl-strap, shook him till his
teeth rattled and the breccliing broke,
when puggy dropped out of his harness
and scampercd ahead for home, howling
like a salvation army exhorter. As the
cavalcade moved off, Pat gazed after it
with unconcealed disgust and communed
with himself in this lugubrious strain:
“Bad luck to the little bashte; foive min—
utes ago Oi had an iligant jag on for fun,
and he sheared it all out av me, may the
dim! fly way wil himjfian’ now, bedad!
Oi’ll have to go back an’ do id all over

hoby !” .
