A. Nerwalk gentleman contributes the
following: Some unreasonable person and

criticise the Rev. Chas. M. Selleck and the
clergymen who officiate in St. Paul's
church, as SO-Cflllcfl candidates foo. the
rcctorship. It would be just as well, per-
haps, for parties so criticising to make
themselves informed as to how those can-

successful competitor. Other features of
gymnasium work will be introduced after
the competition.
Now that‘the Fairficld County Agricul-
tural Society have offered the fair grounds
at Norwalk for sale, why cannot Bridge-
port step in with her usual enterprise and
secure the fair for Bridgeport? Danbury
makes a success of her fair and there is
no reason to believe that Bridgeport could
field county fair than Danbury makes of
it. Norwaik has had the fair for the past
forty-nine years but for the past four years-
the fair has lost money and _thc day of
holdingafair in Norwalk has gone by.-
If the fair was held in Bridgeport it would
be as well (if not better) patronized by
Norwalk than it has been when held

The Stamford Ad'oocata says: :“A gen-
tleman who lives in Darien townshipssys
that if the selectmen would take steps to
close up the Cyprian institutions which
seem to flourish in that town they would
be doing something that would greatly
tend to improve the morals of a portion at
least of the community. The authorities
of South Norwalk and Stamford have
driven 7many of such characters out of
their precincts, and it would seem that
they have chosen Darien township as their
place of refuge. There are as many as
four such places in Darien already.

Thursday morning the roof of the. Rent—
wood hatshop caught fire from an overheated
stove in the drying room. The City fire
department was called out and extinguished
it before any damage was done beyond tear-
ing a short strip from the roof. When the
alarm rang and the girls employed in theshop
learned it was the Bentwood that was on fire
they acted with great coolness and presence
of mind. Miss Minnie Bysin suggested that
word should be sent to the Danbury fire
department for assistance, as slic'believed'
in the efficiency of the boys up there, being
a Danbnry girl herself. Emma Lahey,
Fannie,,Lackay and several of the younger
girls picked up'their things and repaired to
the sidewalk to await developments. They
and got the fresh air. Mrs. Danton did ' not
have time to stop work as long as the fire
did not get . into .the bindingroom. But
taken altogether the girls were very brave.
The stockholders of the Fairfield Coun—
ty Agricultural Society, after many fruit-
less attempts, finally succeeded in holding
a meeting last Saturday, President Edwin
Hoyt, of New Canaan, in the'clrair. The
president gave a plain statement of facts
not altogether flattering to the patriotism
and local pride of the community, and at-
tributed the downfall of the old Fairfleld
County Fair, to the lack of interest on'the
part of the people of Norwalk and vicin-
ity. It was voted to dispose of the Soci -
ety’s affairs, in the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee of three
stockholders be appointed to take charge
sell all real and personal property and to
transact any and all legal business in re.
gard to disposing of and settling the ma
debteduess of said Society. Said proper.
ty to be disposed of either at private or
public sale. . .
The committed appointed is as follows :

grounds for sale accordingly.
Here is the Stamford Advocafe’a version
of the prize fight:
Asnide kind of a prize fight came off
early Wednesday morning, about 3 or 4
o'clock, and something like 250 persons
are reported to have been present. For
several days previous a couple of would—
be knights of the- arena had been about
town end. avoriug to hire a hall and
otherwise advertising their business so as
to sell as many of their 82 tickets as pos-
sible. The tickets were headed “Turkey
Sup er," but it was well understood what
kin of ‘a turkey was meant. It -is said
that one of the contestants hails from
Jersey City and the other from Norwalk.
The place of meeting was supposed to be
known only to the initiated, but early
Wednesday morning Officer Theo. Miller
was on hand and chased the men up one
of the country roads. As they had wagons
and he was on foot, it was emphatically a
race under difficulties. It is reported
that later, after the officer left, the men
broke in the north end of Woodsidc Park
and had their fight out. By all accounts
it was a bloodless affair, and no one was
injured except those who suffered dam~
age in their pocketbooks. .
The barn of satin. Henshaw,who keeps
a livery stable in Soutliport, was discover-
ed Monday evening about, 37:30 to be on
fire. The building was 150 :feet long by
100 wide, 2 stories high, and contained 24 ‘
horses, harness, hay, etc. _ Everything
that was movable was carried out, but
the building was totally (lesti‘oyed. Ow-
ing to Southport not having any fire sp—
paratiis a bucket brigade was all the assis-
tance that could be obtained. One of the
horses, belonging to a Mr. Cohen of this
city, sustained sever-churns about the head
but the balance was rescued without harm
to any of them. The blaze was so bright
that it attracted a large number of people
from Fairficld and surrounding districts.
In this city it was supposed at first that
the fire'was in the neighborhood of West
End.. Tire fire is thought to have caught
by a lamp exploding. As near as could
be estimated by a Bridgeport New: report-
er who was present, the damage will
amount to about $5,000 andwas fully in—
insured. _

NORWALTK GAZETTE;
Perhaps no livelier borough meeting
was ever held in Norwalk than the one
held in the Town House yesterday after»
noon, the call for which was published in
the GAZETTE last week.’ Warden Coolidge
presided and Clerk Perry tack the
minutes. The Town House Was literally
Packed with voters. dad at times the con—
fusion ;was universal. The principal in-
terest centered in the first item of the call,
as follows:
To consider the matter of lighting the
highwngs and public grounds of the Borough,
and sue propositions therefor as may have
been submitted to the Court of Burgessec,and
to take and authorize such action in the prem-
ises as may be deemed best.
As soon as the clerk finished reading
the call Mr. Frederick Mead oflered a
resolution authorizing the court of bur-
geses to make a contract for lighting the
borough at an expense not exceed-
35.000 per year. Mr. Honnecker
offered an amendment stipulating that
the contract be from 100 to 130 lights.
Mr. Maples offends substitute reso—
lution' authorizing the borough board
to contract with the NorWalk and
South Norwalk Electric Light company
for 65 or more lights of 1,400 candle
power, to be equal in every respect to the
lights now furnished ; the board to locate
those to be put up in addition 'to
those used, at a cost. not to «ex-
ceed the sum of $75 per light, per year,
and if deemed best to have them only 812
nights in the year, the cost not to exceed
870 per light per year, the contract to he
made for fine years,that if this proposition
be not accepted by the company on or
before Friday, 22d last, the borough
board shall award the contract to the Nor-
walk Gaslight company, whose bids are
substantially as called for by the resolu-
tion. At this point the discussion waxed
hot. Mr. Hurlbutt made an eloquent and
forcible argument against this resolution
and intimated that the electric light com-
pany had opposed the granting of a char-
ter for electric lighting to the Gas com.
may in the legislature two years ago, the
reason for which was now apparent. Mr.
Maples in reply, insinuatcd that Mr. Hurl-
butt appeared at this meeting as the after-
ney for the Gas company, whereupon Mr.
Burlbntt, in language most exquisitely in-
genious and unobjectionsbly polite, but
none the less unmistakable, intimated
that Mr.|Maples was an intentional prevar-
forum, and Mr. Maples gracefully diss-
vowed any intention of doing anybody an
injustice. After considerable time and
chin music, the question of considering
e substitute resolution iii preference
to the original, was put and the meeting
voted in favor of the substitute, and here
the action on the first clause abruptly
stopped. The second clause of the call
was as follows:
To consider the matter of connecting the
water mains of the Borough and of the City of
South Norwalk in West Avenue, and to in-
struct the-Water Commissioners with refer-5
ence thereto. and to supplying Borough wa-
ter through such connection, if made.
After considerable discussion a vote
was taken and a resolution to the above
effect was carried. The third clause was
cmbodledinaresolution offered by Mr.
Moody, appropriating $2,000, was unani-
mously carried, as follows :
To consider the matter 'or‘ constructing a
six inch connection above the distributing
reservoir of the Borough With the main supply
pipe from a point on the main mngin across
the riverjust south of the stone bri ge and
along the New Canaan road to the (pipe on
Main Street. opposite the homestead o _the late
William R. Nash. a length of about 2,000 feet,
and to take such action with :rcrerence there-

Anno Domini 2000.
Petersburg _Indw Appeal: What will
our population be? Who shall say ? Tire
United States contain over 00,000,000 peo-
ple who increase at the rate of about twenty-
fiveper cent. in every decade, so that at the
close of the next century the increment
would have run up to a total of not less
than 400,000,000 souls. Take the. popula-
tion of all the other States and countries
named above as likely to come under our
sway, and another 400,000,000 will be easily
added. In the year (1 our Lord 2000, and
the year of the Independence of the United
States the 224th, it will be no longer the
United States of North America, but the
United States of North, Central and South
America, and the then President will then
issue his Thanksgiving Day Proclamation to
nearly a thousand mill ion people.
The mind fails to grasp our industrial and
commercial expansion at that day; the won—
derful progress in the arts and sciences; the
tremendous energy with which enterprise
after enterprsc will be conceived and made a.
reality. And then Congress. Just think
what Congress will be then! But, stop!
Better not think. When we contemplate what
it is now,with 400 members,thc idea of what
it will be with 4,000 is simply appalling

All Opal 51mm.
Good fortune goes with the opal. Last
Christmas the wife of a well known coffee
broker made him a present of a scarf pin set
with an opal. At the time he had a mortgage
on his house, his businm was in a desperate
condition, he was threatened with par-(sis.
Pretty soon cofi’ee began to rise. It kept go-
ing up. He cleared ahandsomo sum, paid 03'
the mortgage and had a substantial balance
ldt. Some one slipped the pin out of his
scarf one day in a crowd. The very next day
he fell down stairs and broke two ribs, his
wife upset a bottle of purple ink all over his
new summer suit, his little boy played truant
from school and got arrested for tying a
package of fire crackers to a dog’s tail, the
parlor maid smashed the new chandelier, one
of the horses developed glanders, the hired
man upset a ladle of molten lead down his
,t leg, the gas meter man brought in a bill
70?,000 feet for the month, the cook set the
house on fire with a pan of melted grease and
moths got in the new parlor carpet. The
owner was distracted and sent for two detec-
tives. The opal was found the next day in a
pawnshop. He recovered it just- in time to
get out of the coffee market before the panic.

The Fashionable Wood. '
Oak finished antique will be as much used
as ever in the manufdcture of furniture next
year. It is the most popular of all the woods,
and the demand for it is steady, and no signs .
of a change in popular favor are apparent.
Walnut is nowhere in the race with oak for
, popularity, and furniture of that richest of
all materials, especially for the bedroom,
boudoir and dining room, remains in the
‘. warerooms uncalled for and inno demand.
Mahogany is used now, as it always was and
will be, for the finest goods, and cherry takes
a high rank, but oak stands first in favor and
will continue in the front rank for another
year at least, and probably much longer, as
there is nothing to take its place. For the
cheaper grades of furniture, ash, maple, birch
and these woods, with various stains and
finishes, continue, as they always will, in
favor.--Scientific American.

LAURENCE OLIPHAHT.
A Glance at the Late Versatile Romancer.
His Erratic Career.
Laurence Oliphunt was one of the most re
workable men of his time of what nation-
ality soewer. He was not a great. man; he
was too versatile, too many sided, too erratic
for that; but he was none the less remarka-
ble, and he filled a unique position, or any
number of unique positions, in the life of the
last four decades as, perhaps, no other man
could have done. Oliphnnt (for, as tradition
runs, no one ever called him “MJ‘.’7) was the
puzzle of the world in general, the admira-
tion and sometimes the despair of his friends.
He was so many men in one that he was for-
ever startling you with some new and, as you
might occasionally think, fantastic develop-
ment, which, in another man would have ap-
peared whimsical, but iir Laurence Oliphant
was wholly fit and charming.
The story of Olipbant’s life is a fascinating
one. From the age of 1‘2 to the death hour
at Twickcnhain there had been scarcely a
_dull moment. Even back in the very tiny
days of boyhood he had his hours of happy
fancy, which must have done a great deal to
shape his life. Even a passing glance at the
list of Oliphant’s books will show something
of his many sided character. There is “Hal-
ifax Life in Modern Palestine," an unbroken
chain of historic research; there is his vol-
time of “Traits and Travosties: Social and
Political!” in which, as The Saturday Re-
view ouce said, he shows “the gift, not com-
mon in this country, of esprit Gaulois, aim—
ing his strokes at follies and abuses, without
any semblance of effort,” and with “a keen
and light hearted wit." Then there is his
brilliant novel, “Altiora Petsf’ then that
other curious and masterly told tale, “Ma-
sollam, a Problem of the Per ,” which you
my follow with “Fashionable Philosophy
and Other Sketches,” or with “Piccadilly,”
sparkling with clever inorceaux, with which
every page is jeweled.
Contrast these with “The Land of Gilead
and Excursions in the Lebanon,” and with
“The Land of Khemi;” and then' takeup
“Sympneumata; or, Evolutionary Forces
now Active in Man," and follow these, if you
will, with “Episodes in a Life of Adventure.”
and then with this last work and, as may
think, his masterpiece, “Scientific Religion,”
and you will be amazed that all these could
have come from one brain.
Oliphant was little like the typical English-
man in manner and appearance. . He was
medium in height and spare in build, with
, frank, inquiring eyes, a high bald
head, and long, flowing beard and mustache.
He was cordial, warm hearted, and one word
from him wouldput the stranger at his ease.
He could, and did, talk with all sorts of men
upon all sorts of themes. Hehad been every-
where and known everybody. If he was at
home in the drawing rooms at Mayfair, ho
was equally at home in the Egyptian deserts
and the Indian jungles. In the diplomatic
service he sought to preserve peace, and yet
in war he was always at the front of the
battle, an eager, daring and intelligent
spectator.—Arthur Warren in Boston Herald.
