DEAR Gazarra:—The ﬂags are again
ﬂying at half-mast from the 011131001 and
public buildings here in conse‘l‘wnee 0f
the death ofJustice Stanley Matthews. A
winter cannot be recalled since the war
when so many of the nation’s noted men
have passed away, as during that just
ended. The wings of the death angel
have cast their dark shadows over the
capitol city, during the past session of
congress, with startling frequency. Sur-
rounded by his wife and three of his
children Associate Justice Stanley Mm-
thews “passed over to the mhjority” at 10
o’clock Friday morning, at his rcsidenr e
here. His death caused a shock, al-
though it was known that he had been
critically ill. The cily papers of the day
previous had announced his improvement
and hoped for convalescence. The su-
preme court and senate both adjourned
after aarembling as a token of respect.
He was ﬁrst brought conspicuously to
public'notice by his participation in the
electoral commission. In the view of
many eminent jurists his argument on
that occasion was deemed the abiest one
delivered. At the outbreak of the war he
was lieutenant-colonel of the 23d Ohio,the
regiment of which ex-President Hayes
was major and General Rosecrans was
colonel. In 1872 Mr. MattheWs, although
a member of the convention which nomi-
hated Mr. Greeley for President, withdrew
before the nomination. and supported the
election of General Grant in the canvas.
Upon the resignation of Senator Sherman
to become President Hayes' secretary of
the treasury, Mr. Matthews was elected as
his successor, serving from 1877 to 1879.
Toward the close of his administration
President Hayes sent his name to the sen-
ate for a place on the supreme court
bench, but the nomination was not acted
upon by congress. It was renewed by
President Garﬁeld on May 12th, 1831, and
confirmed. Justice Matthews was a man
of great intellectual energy, quick per-
ceptions, retentive memory and sound
judgment—qualities that carried him to
the front of his profession as a lawyer,
and won for him an enviable reputation
in the position he lately occupied.

Judge Gresham and Attorney-General
Miller are already named as leading those
likely to be considered as his successor.
Our own Senator Piatt is also named in
this connection.

While the nation was mourning the loss
of its eminent jurist and its ﬂags were
draped in his honor, a simple funeral ser-
vice was being held here over the remains
of one less noted, but no less noble in
nature or rich in the legacy of good deeds
done. We refer to Mrs. Sarah B. Berry,
a native of Groton, Mass., who has kept a
boarding house here the past quarter of a
century, and at whose generous and hos—
pitable board many of the best and noted
of our country have found a congenial
home. With her our Senator Ferry and
family, Senator Nye and family, and hosts
of others living and now “gone to the be-
yond,” used to reside while in Washing-
ton. Slie was a great hearted, generous
natured woman, ever and always intent
on helping seine less fortunate human
creature. Few men have so heroically
fought life’s vicissitudes, and if there be
rewards in Heaven, surely this good wo-
man has entered upon an eternal life of
supernal recompense.

OFFICIAL asrrmxrs.

Speaking of ireroic women recalls the
fact that there is now a plucky little
woman from Lawrence, Kansas, making
a valliant ﬁght for the postmaster-ship of
that city. She is the widow of the late
Representative Haskell, of that congres-
sional district, who, when he died, left
her, without fortune, a little family to
bring up. Being a New England born
woman she set herself to the task of
securing endorsements for their home
post ofﬁce, and has received the cordial
backing of nine—tenths of all the business
men and earnest republicans within the
post omce circuit. and yet Mr. Haskell’s
successor has neither the manly grace or
true gallantry to give the widow of his
dead predecessor his approving sanction
at the post ofﬁce department. and so the
appointment hangs. Such coarse ﬁber in
the composrtion of an American congr. ss-
man is neither creditable to the incum-
bent or the district he represents.

The appointment of “corporal Tanner”
to he comrnissiolier of pensions will re-
joice the be me of the common surviving
soldiery of the nation, who carried their
muskets and did the ﬁghting and also
removes from the public sight and odiurn
the “mental, moral and physical wreck”
who has so long disgraced that position.

The conﬁrmation of Editor Reid, of the
Tribune, and of Colonel Frederick D.
Grant to their important missions puts an
effectual end to whatever opposition
there had been raised against them.

The appointment and conﬁrmation of
Major Charles E. Doty gives to South
Norwalk an aetivr: and Zealous republican
as well as a man of clerkly abilities.
Major Doty served throughout the war
with credit to himself and honor to his
state. tle served on General Amcs’ mili
tary staff with conspicuous gallantry for a
considerable period, in addition to his
service in the Seventeenth Connecticut
Volunteers, and will no doubt prove a
competent and popular postmaster for
our sister city.

The appointment of Mr. Mitchell as
commissioner of patents continues to
receive the approval of all honest patent
experts here.

The appointment of Hon. John C. New
as consul-general to London to succeed
our popular cx-Goverrior “Tom” \l ullcr
cast a dense gloom over the editorial
dome of the New London Day, whatever
the effect may have been upon our friend
Day, of Colchester. The result is just
what might have been most reasonably
looked for.

There is a touch of almost pathetic
sadness in the mutations of ofﬁcial life
which relegates Judge Tyner, of Indiana,
to the legal clerks desk, in the post ofﬁce
department, at a salary of $2,500. This
is the desk created and occupied by the
late Arthur H. Bissell, of Norwalk. Judge
Tyner was a member of President Grant’s
cabinet, succeeding Marshall Iewcll as
postmaster-general at a salary of $8,000,
but it is said he gladly accepted this
subordinate place.

Paonmiriox.

On invitation Miss Kate Field gave her
lecture here at Grand Army Hail Friday
evening last on the “Iotemperance of
Prohibition." The lecture, as its title
implies, was not conﬁned to a defence of
the moderate use of wine and other stim-
ulants, or of the right of the individual
member of society to regulate his or her
habits in such matters, but was a bold
and trenchrnt assault upon the principles
of the prohibition party. Miss Field
made, in the conmencment of her re—
marks, an exp anation showing how she
had in s ~lf-.lelcnse undertaken a study of
the question, and had finally resolved to
discuss it mm the platform. Her lecture
embruc d not on y a racy account of her
own experience in this country, but a
most interesting recital of the failure of
the prohibition policy in the States of the
Union where it had been adopted, and in
other countri. s and epochs than our own.
The udience listened throughout with
unusual interest and gave frequent evi-
dence of their sympathy with the speaker
by warm applause. At the close Dr.
Hammond made some brief but weighty
remarks upo: the present-customs of
medcal, (pinion on the subject of a

moderate use of wine and spirits.‘
HIS LUCK Farts.

Err-President Cleveland passed through
here last week with his fishing party, en
route south. The same night his hen
house at Oak View was entered by forcing
the lock of the door, and several chickens,
including four Plymouth Rocks and ﬁve
Wyandottcs, were stolen. Then, preced-
ing the chicken theft disaster, his fore-
man, Tom Follan, in charge of his place,
got into a quarrel with a neighboring
Irishman named‘ Pat Kernan, and threat-
ened him that “as soon as Cleveland got
out of town he would break his back. As
soon as the ex—I’rrsident had departed
Pat had the foreman of Red Top or Oak
View hauled up before the police court on
a charge of making murderous threats
and bonds had to be given for his release.
Next the cx-President is charged with
attempting to force an entrance into the
New York Society of Tammany’s Big
Indian Chiefs. .Then it is alleged he got
himself partly into the Society of the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, of New
York, before the burglar alarm was
touched off by one, David 'B. Hill.
Strange how a man‘s luck deserts him
when once he goes down. Poor man, he
will never catch as many or as big fish
again.

BATTLE macs.

Senator Wade Hampton has sent back
to the survivors of the Fifth Pcnnsyvania
Cavalry two old battle ﬂags captured
during the war by General Hampton’s
rebel troopers. The return is made
through Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania,
and a very interesting and friendly corres-
pondence is the result.

Pansonxts.

The matter of selecting a successor to
U. S. Treasurer Hyatt has not yet been
reached, and no deﬁnite time is ﬁxed for
replacing him. Tile personal convenience
of both Mr. Hyatt and his successor would
undoubtedly be greatly promoted by
having the change made on the 30th day
of June, the last day of the treasury ﬁscal
year. Much time and labor of employees
would also be saved, and this has led to
the impression that Mr. Hyatt would
not be disturbed till that date. Secretary
Windom, in answer to an inquiry on the
subject, simply replied that it was a
matter requiring no hasty action and the
time of change hurl not yet been con-
sidered.

O E. Wilson, Esq., left as Friday for
Norwalk after spending a week most
agreeably at Treasurer Hyatt’s. He aban-
doned his contemplated trip to Florida
after learning that his former friend, ex-
President Grover Cleveland, was down
there ﬁshiug.

Senator Plait, with Representatives
Miles, Sirnonds and Russell, called on the
President last week.

Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Childs were called
suddenly to Boston last week by the seri-
ous illness of Mrs. C.’s aged mother.

W. F. Rockwell stopped over a train
Saturday on his way home from New
Orleans to Meriden.

William D. Bishop, Jr., joined his
father here last week.

Our new Connecticut commissioner of
patents, Mr. Mitchell, is in town, and is
expected to at once enter upon the duties
of his important oﬁicc.

Comrade S. B. Horne, of Winstcd,
department commander of the Connecticut
G. A. R., is here. '

Mr. Henry M. Valentine, of Darien,
who has been visiting his children here,
returns home to—morrow.

As ever,
“49%,“..H
A Citizen’s Sound Suggestion.

V Masses. EDIrons.-—The State of Con—
necticut provides for all of its ofﬁcials
within the state such office roorii and cler-
ical assistance as circumstances seem to
demand. It sends two oﬁicial representa-
tives ofthe whole state to the U. S. Senate
and practically says to them, you can
transact the business of the national gov~
ernmcnt and for it the nation will pay
you ﬁve thousand dollars per aununi, ltut
in addition, you shall be harrasscd and
pester-ed with the local affairs of Connec—
ticut which you shall attend to without
compensation. Is it fair to them or
worthy of us that this should he so? For
one, I am proud that Connecticut is repre-
sented in the Senate by two honest, poor
men, and not by millionaires whose money
has bought them position. I believe that
both of them are possessed of such in-
ten-ity as to put them above the tempta—
tion of ofﬁcial position, and that they are
made with a moral ﬁbre that will not toi—
erate the aping of the social excesses of
the national Capitol, but I also believe
that the dignity of Connecticut demands
that the additional work and expel so put
upon these men by the citzens of the state
should be paid for by the state and to that
end I suggest that the. present session of
the legislature take such action as will
provide from state funds an allowance
suiﬁcrcnt to at least furnish house or ofﬁce
rent and clerical assistance for the trans-
action of state business.

Two thousand five hundred dollars each
per annum Would be little enough.

Respectfully,

CITIZEN.

Stars in The Flag.

The correct nrimber of stars on the United
States flag to-day is thirty-eight and thirty-
erght it will remain until the 4th day of
July, 1890 North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington have not yet been
admitted as states into the Union, and 0011-
sequently they are not yet entitled to repre-
sentation on the flag. They have only been
authorized by law to prepare for admission.
Their peoples have first to elect, in April
delegates to constitutional conventions,
These conventions must prepare state con-
stitutions, and these constitutions must be
submitted in October to the vote Of the
people, and state oilicers elected. If the
constitutions are then ratified by the popular
vote, the President is required to issue :1
proclamation announcing the fact, and then,
and then only, will North and South
Dakota, Montana and Washington become
states of the Union. The four stars, how-—
ele‘ will mt be added to the flag until the
4th day of July next succeeding, such being
the provision of the general statutes Of the
United States.

Moral Depravfty.

Some disgracdul facts are coming to
light concerning the robbing of the dead
at the time of the boiler eXplosion at the
Park Central Hotel in Hartford. The
Telegram-Record says :

E. J. Murphy, the day clerk at the
wrecked hotel, was seen yesterday by a
lblegrmn-lr’ecm-d reporter, and in response
to inquiries regarding the matter said he
was of the opinion that the reports had a
real foundation. “I know myself," said
he, “that on the night preceding the dis-
aster J. T. Tillotson, a New York drum—
mer, had something over a $100 in his
pocket. Before I went off duty at 11
o‘clock on Sunday night, Mr. ’l‘i'llotson
had occasion to spend money and gave
me a $20 bill to change. I accommodated
him and at the same time noticed that he
had four more bills of the same denomina-
tion. Tillotson placed them all in his
pocket book together with the change I
gave him. When his body was searched
in the morgue, only a few dollars was
found on him.”

“I also know," continued Mr. Murphy,
“that Illoway, another victim, hurt at
least $75 in his clothes, but when his
body was taken to the morgue, something
like $5 was found on him.”

“The cash drawer when I left it Sunday
night contained about $0 in bills and
silver. The drawer was found intact, but
all that was eVer giVen to Mr. Ketchum
was one or two bills of small denomina—
tion."

From Mr. Murphry’s story it is pretty
plain that some 0 the gang or searchers
were looking for revenue while engaged
in their work of rescuing the living and
recovering the dead. Who was responsi-
ble for this will probably be found out at
an investigation.

Located at the National Capital, adjacent to all the
Executive Departments, gives me an error
advantage in the prosecution of Cla ms
against the United States.

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. magi-eat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, 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 ‘pensloners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duce by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaratlon. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilltlcs. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Reject: (1 Claims. and if you Will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a
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 suiertna with disabilities
contracted in service, who have not appliedfor a
pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

SOLDIERS OF THE MEXICAN WAR,
Who were in that service sixty days, [or their

widows 1! not re-marriea] are entitled to $8.00 per
month from January 29th, 1887. tf20
