& N. division to Wilson Point Friday.

vince them that the Housatonic people
mean business and are acting in good
faith.

The womven of Oakland, Ind., organized
a crusade against saloons. They did not
go, as they once did, in big bands to pray
and sing in the presence of the grinning
proprietor. They just divided into com-
mittees to watch the saloons. They sat
about the bar in groups of four or five,
course resulted in so: many indictments
against saloon keepers that the shops are
closed. Women are learning.
The Warner House at Canaan, a popular
summer resort for city people, and which
attracts an increased number of Norwalk-
ers year by year, is being enlarged to an

many Norwalkers as desire to visit him
prvidcd they notify him in advance, of
the time they intend to have their "out-
ing.”
A South Norwalk dispatch says: “On
Thursday afternoon Captain Oscar St.
John and Henry D. Smith of East Nor-
walk, became entangled in it neighborly
quarrel regarding some hedge. Mr. St.
John followed Mr. Smith up a ladder and
as the latter reached the top he kicked
Captain St. John in the mouth and breast.
The two men clinched and had a set~to on
the barn floor. Smith was arrested
Thursday night and as both men are well
known, the affair is causing a sensation.”

known fat man, once with P. T. Barnum

riding in a hack Friday he wastakcn
deathly ill, and was conveyed home, and
to day is improving, bllt still a sick man.

groundless."
The contributions of Norwalk friends of
the Parnell fund, resulting from the recent
Parnell meeting in the Opera House,
amounted to $238, which was transmitted
by Rev. Father Slocum to the New York
Sun to be added to the general defense
fund. In a note to the editor, accompany-
ing the check, Father Slocum said :—
“With victory in sight we appreciate more
than ever the efforts of the Sun ill behalf
of Irish liberty."
Secrelury F. C. Smith, of the Connec—
necticut Press Association, has issued a

Tilcrc is quite a stir in railroad circles
over the rumored sale of tile Shepaug
road. Senator McNeil, of Litchfleld, was
in conference last week with M. S. Blair
and \V. W. Washburne, of New York.
On Friday W. \V. Wilson, of Westport.
arrived at Litchficld, follower] on Satur-
day by George D. Chapman, of New
York, and the entire party of visitors
went down the road that afternoon.
There was much telegraphing. Lawyer
Hubbard was often in attendance. and
now everybody is sure of the sale of this
little Shepaug to the Standard Oil mag-
nates is completed. Some even pretend
to fix the price at $300,000.——I)anbury
Press.
Housekeepers will be grateful to Good
Fousakeeping for securing a series of
papers from Professor C. V. Riley, the
government entomologist, on insect pests
of the household for publication for their
benefit. Professor Riley knows whereof
he speaks, and what he has to say about
insects is to be regarded as the highest
authority, inasmuch as it is his vocation
to make a study of them and their life and
ways. The paper in the current number,
103, relates to Buffalo bugs and their
habits and treatment, and is therefore of
great value at this house-cleaning season.
—Fnrmers, see Raymond Bros., for fer-
tilizers.
A delegation of about thirty comrades
from Buckingham Post, G. A. R. attend-
ed tlic grand reception and bean bake
tendered by James E. Moore Post of
Danbury on Monday evening. There
were about 1,000 Veterans and Sons of
Veterans in the parade, and the collation
was most delicious and'bonntifu]. The
speech making was interesting, witty and
full of reminiscence. One of our Norwalk
comrades when asked on his return yes.
terday morning “what kind of a time they
had, “replied, “If you know anything
about Danbnry it isn’t necessary for you
to ask that question. When they set out
to do a thing up there they never do it by
halves.”
The local papers of this state have just
experienced an irreparable loss in the
death of the old Leather Man. It is esti-
mated that the number of “local items”
furnished by this eccentric individual
amounts to 1,735,634 in a period of about
a quarter of a century. The press of the
state ought to erect a, handsome monu-
ment to his memoryl—T—gfig.
Tile (lentil of the oldéyg“ king spllinx, it
would seem, is not suc _, u “irreparable
loss” to the press as might bcsnpposcd, in
view of the fact that his ghost has been
seen under circumstances that indicate its
determination to be the old man’s successor
and continue the walking business on the
old route. As a source of newspaper
speculation and a fruitful subject for par-
agraphs, a leather ghost is worth a dozen
leather men.
Scheelc’s case will not be brought before
the legislature, but it is said an appeal
will be made for a new trial before the
May term of the Superior court. Says
the Bridgeport News:—-“Thc grounds
upon which the appeal is made are that
one of the jurors was disqualified. Nor-
walk parties have given information to
the effect that on the night following the
murder, one of the men who served upon
the jury was heard to say that Scheele
ought not to have a trial before a judge
or jury, but ought to be strung up. The
hearing in the superior court will have to
take plaCe soon after the opening of the
session as it will be within a few days of
the (lay upon which the sentence of death
is to be executed. In any event a reprieve
will probably be asked of Governor Buike-
ley in order to give sufficient time for
the consideration of the ease in the super-
ior court.”
Speaking of the excursion to Wilson
Point, last Friday. the Hartford 'corres-
pendent of the New Haven Register says:
“The Consolidated road people cannot
hide their wrath over Col. W. H. Steven:
son’s success in kidnapping the legislature
bodily and in taking the members down
to Wilson Point to give them ocular de-
monstrations of the possibilities of the
Housatonic system. Attorney Lynde
Harrison, of New Haven, was ill the house
Friday morning, and as he gazed on those
206 empty seats he appeared for from in-
different to the situation. Col. Stevenson’s
reputation as an entertainer is as well
known over in Bozrah as in Bridgeport,
and members from every part of the state
made ita point to accept the invitation.
But the colonel didn’t stop at members of
the legislature. He invited everybody
around the Capitol, from the superinten-
dent down to the man who takes care of
the furnaces, and even the boy who runs
errands. Superintendent Dibble was be-
sieged with so many appeals for a day off
that he issued a proclamation declaring
the day to be a holiday, As a result all
the Capitol force went on the excursion
with the exception of two men who were
kept at home to lock up the doors of the
building at night.”

If Mark Twain wants to start his next
speech with a joke on himself, this remark
of a New York dealer in photographs of
celebrities will do : “Here are five per-
traits of Mark Twain I have had in stock
for over three years, and during that time
I have sold just one.”
Mr. John Benedict, of New Canaan,
madeaVlsit to this office Monday, and
renewed his subscription to the Gazsrrs.
He is without doubt, one of the oldest
readers of this paper, having read it for
over sixty years, and been a subscriber
for over half a century.
The auction sale of Keyser’s Island, to
take place on Tuesday next at 9 o’clock,
is announced in another column. This is
one of the most important sales that have
taken place in this section in a long time
and naturally considerable interest at-
tachcs to it. James Mitchell is to officiate
as auctioneer. _
Pioneer Hook and Ladder company
came out for a practice run and drill
Monday evening. They ran with their
heavy truck to the Center school house
and raised all their ladders against the
building. The drill was satisfactory to
First Assistant Chief Engineer F. W.
Smith who was present to inspect the
company’s working.
The new town directory is nearing
completion. Mr. Hank, the compiler,
informs us that he has recorded no less
than 3,300 names of residents which did
not appear in any previous directory,
showing how thoroughly he has done his
work and in what a slip-shod manner it
was done by the compilers of previous
directories. .
The court of burgcsscs, at their meet-
ing Monday evening, after considerable
discussion, voted to contract with tile
electric light company, pursuant to the
resolution favored at the late borough
meeting, the contract to be for five years,
the borough reserving the privilege of
revocation at the end of three years if
deemed best, the company to be given
three months’ notice of such revocation.
The funeral of the father of Rev. M. F.
Rigney of St. Patrick’s church took place
in South Norwalk Saturday. The solemn
requiem mass was celebrated by Father
Rigney, “assisted by Father O’Brien of
South Norwalk, deacon, Father Farrell
Martin of Waterbury, sub deacon, and
Father Timothy M. Crowley, of Norwalk,
master of ceremonies. The absolntion
was pronounced by Father W. Slocum, of
Norwalk. Among the clergyman who
assisted at; the ceremonies were Father
Rylc of St. Patrick’s, McKeon of the
Sacred Heart and Dolan and Sullivan of
St. John’s of New Haven; John H.
Carroll of Westport, Rogers and R. J.
Carroll of Stamford, and O’Donnell and
Trainor of Waterbury.—Standard. '
All entertainment of rare merit is to be
given in the Opera House this (Tuesday)
and to—morrow evenings of which the
Bridgeport Standard says :—
W m.“lH. J osselanappeared at Proctor’s
Grand Opera House last evening before a
large audience, over one thousand people
being in attendance. These were sur-
prised and all were delighted at the
splendid array of beautiful views which
were thrown on the largest screen ever
seen in this city. Mr. Jossclyn has a
strong and pleasant voice, which can be
heard all over the largest hall, and his
lecture is full of interesting and profitable
information. He has a magnificent stere-
opticon and if he can draw such audi-
ences as that of last night, his entertain—
ment will prove very profitable.
Postmasters are being “removed" thick
and fast, and the bouncing business is
coming pretty close to these regions.
However, Golding is postmaster still,
and, as another p. m. remarked when the
rascals were being turned out four years
ago, “d—d still, too.”—Record.
If he has come to realize that he don’t
own the post office and the people and the
earth, and learned to conduct the business
of the office in a common sense manner—
abandoned a lot of silly captiousness
which bordered orr arrogance, and which
displayed ignorance of the plainest bus-
iness principle, then his stillness, whether
from fear of removal or a return to a
reasonable discretion, is something for
which to be profoundly grateful. It
would, however, be better politics and
policy for the Republicans to put a better
man in his place.—Sentinel.
The Sentinel is more cruelly severe on
our borough postmaster than is the Re-
cord, the only “organ of democracy” in
Norwalk and the only “paper of the
largest circulation” to publish therein
according to law, the lists of unclaimed
letters. Yet the Gamma is file only
paper that has steadfastly maintained
throughout, that Mr. Golding is just as
good a postmaster as he knows how to be.
The Record and Sentinel seem to demand
that he shall be something more than this.
At all events, no one shall charge that
Postmaster Golding was not a good car-
penter before they spoiled him in mak-
ing him intoapostmastcr, without the
Gazsrrs's indignant rebuke.
The subject of “temperance" in its
various forms has occupied the thoughts
and attention of many thinking people of
South Norwalk during tile past week, and
only good results can follow, notwith—
standing ill sonic instances, the “isms" of
some were made prominent. At the last
and most fully attended meeting at the
chapel of the Congregational church, the
subject was fully discussed Some of the
younger and less experienced workers
present claimed there was no remedy but
prohibition, while Rev. Mr. Biddle, Mr.
Fox, president of the Union Gospel Tem-
perance Reform association, and others
contended and proved that while waiting
for more law upon the subject thousands
could be and are being reclaimed from
drunkenness, while a temperance senti.
ment is being shown among the young
and old, which is having a good effect,
and hundreds are banding together by
" pledging themselves not to use intoxicants
as a beverage. The result was seen on
Sunday at the meeting in the Gospel
Temperance room, where more were
present than could be seated.
Supervisor F. M. Cogill, of the House-
tonic system, is as full of business as a polit-
ical caucus this spring, and the onerous duty
of planning and keeping a constant and
watchful eye on extensive works being
vigorously pushed simultaneously at dif-
ferent points along the lines of a system of
roads covering a distance of 200 miles, ,
while it would wear out an ordinary man,
not only does not in the least seem to be a
strain on Mr. Cogiil‘s nervous or physical
system, but its tendency is to actually
make him fatter and jollier. Under his
cflfleicnt supervision the following jobs of
work are under way and in contempla—
tion: Anew turn-table, at Bethel with unus-
ually heavy foundation walls and pit of ma-
sonry is about completed, and the Bethel de-
pot is being repainted; a new iron bridge is
being finished at Wilton; new iron bridge
at Lenox Furnace under way; new iron
bridge at Stockbridge Iron Works under
way; highway bridge over the railroad at
Pittsfield under way; large retaining wall
at Brookfield about finished ; retaining
wall of heavy masonry, 200 feet long, near
New Milford under way; improved sys-
tem of road gates being constructed at
Great Barrington, Mass. Among the
improvements and constructions now be--
ing arranged for, to be begun imlnediatc~
1y, are, a new depot at Cannons Station;
a large union depot at Botsford, the junc-
tion of theHousatonic and Derby reads;
a two-span iron bridge at Point of Rocks,
between Canaan and Falls Village, and a
one-span bridge near the same place. A
new depot at Brookfield, to replace the
one destroyed by fire some time ago, is
also among the probabilities of the near
future. Time cases will soon be erected
at each station, similar to those in use on
the Consolidated load, announcing the
time of the departure of trains,
The Norwalk Wheel Club has elected
the following officers for the ensuing six
months: President, R. G. Hanford; vice
president, LcGrand Raymond; secretary,
C. E. Miller; treasurer, James F. Hall;
captain, J. A Ambler. The club numbers
about twenty, many of them members of
the League of American Wheelmen. The
club will soon resume its monthly run.
The following Connecticut post masters

The New York Sun reporters inter-
viewed the lion in his lair and the tiger
in his jungle-that is. they went into the
cages in Barnum’s show-and it is record-
ed that the animals went wild with rage.
That is not to be wondered at. Sun
reporters have been stirring up the ani-
mals at Albany all winter, and their
caged eonfercrcs may have thought the
Sim intended to be impartial and stir
them up.
The House has passed a very useful bill
requiring that Town Clerks, in making
returns of the October elections, shall
include the license vote, if any, and if not,
then they shall note whether the town
stands “license" or “nolicense.” These
aggregated'returns will furnish informa-
tion to the Legislature and the people of
the extent to which the local option law
operates throughout Connecticut to pre-
vent liquor selling, and will be of real
value for reference in connection with
proposed temperance legislation. Here-
tofore this information has not only never
been attainable in an official form, but,
in fact, has rarely, if ever, been given
accuratelyin the newspaper returns of the
town elections—Hartford Times.
Adjutant-General Barbour, Quarter-
master-General Rudd, Assistant Quarter-
master-General Morgan, Colonel Watson,
of the Fourth regiment, and Major Kin-
ney, chairman of the state commission,
met in New York Friday, to arrange
details for the coming trip to tho centen-
nial of the inauguration of Washington,
on Tuesday. April 30. They found the
various. headquarters in New York ex.
ceedingly busy and a very general belief
that the coming event is to be the biggest
of its kind the country has everwitnessed.
The grand stand on Madison square has
already been erected.
The semi annual session of the Grand
Division of Connecticut Sons of Temper-
ance will be held in G. A. R. Hall, Nor-
walk, on Thursday, April 25th, beginning
at 10 a. m. A very full attendance of
members and especially of representatives
is requested. From present indications it
will be one of the most pleasant. and
profitable meetings held in a long time.
The Most Worthy Patriarch of the Nation-
al Division of North America, Rev. B,
Alder Temple will be present by invitation
of the Grand Division. As arranged at
the quarterly session the evening will be
devoted to the “Good of the Order.” The
committee in charge has arranged {an
interesting programme, with talent from
many Divisions in the State. They have
spared no efforts to make the new plan a
success. It will be especially interesting
to members of subordinate divisions who
may attend.
There is every promise of an early inau-
guration of penny postage in this country.
The Republican party is committed to it,
and the best public sentiment favors it.
We have more postoflices in this country
than all Europe, excepting Germany, and
these postofilees are increasing at the rate
of two thousand a year. People here send
and receive more mail matter than the
people of any other country or nation.
Our rates, too, are lower than those of any
other government. This, however, is no
argument against penny postage. The
postal service is a great monopoly, and its
purpose is to serve the people with the
maximum of speed and safety, and the
minimum of cost. A self supporting post
ofiice department is a secondary consid-
eration to a prompt and cheap postal
service. The government can well afford
to supply the comparatively small defici-
ciency.
How the Trenton Was Saved.
The palm of superior seamanship in the
Samoan disaster comes to America. The
remarkable handling of the Trenton for
eight hours, with rudder and propeller
gone, proves that her navigating ofiicer,
Liellt. R. M. G. Brown, adopted an expe
dient which marks him as one of the
great sailors who have made the annals of
our navy famous.
Ats critical moment, when it seemed
impossible to keep the Trenton of! the
reefs, he ordered the whole crew of 450
men to mass themselves solidly in the port
rigging. The wind acting on them grad-
ually drew the vessel back into the bay.
His action threw some thirty-five tons of
humanity to the side where weight was
most needed and presented a sail area of
4,000 square feet.
That was lseamanship. In these days
of steam there is too much tendency to
ignore the sailor and exalt the engineer.
But a sailor saved the Trenton’s crew,
with both rudder and propeller gone.

From Litchfield, Hawleyville to New
York via Westport, without change of
cars, is the prospect brilliantly held before
the people of the town to—day. lts capi-
talists, in years agone, had their eyes on
the Danbury and Norwalk railroad pro-
ject, but Norwalk was too sharp for them,
captured the prize, and have since en-
joyed the benefits thereof. Then, after
waiting a quarter of accntury, the scheme
for a road from the railroad depot through
the village up, the Aspetuck region to a
point never definitely known, but sup—
posed to be the jumping off place was
started, route surveyed, and much loud
talking was done. It fell through. More
recently the Saugatuck Valley scheme
came forth with some life galvanized by
an offer of the Consolidated road through
Mr. George H. Watrous, then president,
to lay rails, equip and run the road,
dividing the profits, providing the right
of way was donated and graded. That
also shrank away.3 Meantime and all the
the time Westport has hankercd for a
road, and, if words are of any value,
there is a prospect or having a road in the
near future. On Wednesday evening of
last week a gentleman addressed the
Board of Trade, at a special meeting
called for that purpose, stating that, act-
ing as agent for a syndicate of capitalists,
he had bought and paid for the franchise
known as the Shepaug, Litcllfield and
Northorh railroad, familiarly known as
the Shepang road, and that, if proper
encouragement was given in Westport
and along the route, they would build the
road from Hawleyvilic, through Westport
to Sangatuck, making a continuous line
from Litchfield, equip and piace’eTigines
and cars upon it, connect it with the
Consolidated so that a Westporter could
go to and from New York without change
of cars, complete it within six months,
and not ask a dollar from any stock sub—
scriber until the work was done. Of
course this announcement had the right
ring, and a big meeting of the board was
held Saturday night, at which a gentle-
man in the syndicate appeared reiterating
what the agent had said at the previous
meeting, adding that in order to do this
thing the right of way would have to be
donated and a fair subscription to the
stock made. The following committees
were accordingly appointed: On stock
subscriptions—Horace Staples, John D.
Wcod, Thomas R. Lees, Oscar l. June's,
Theodore E. King, Charles H. Taylor,
David A. Salmon, Daniel B. Bradley, Jr.,
Dewitt 0. Bradley, Edward M. Lees,
Ambrose S. Hurlbutt, Moses W. Wilson.
On right of way—M. W. Wilson, H. A.
Ogden, Dewitt C. Bradley, Thomas H.
Platt, Stephen Sanford, Thomas R. Lees,
Rufus Wakeman, W. C. Staples, R. D.
Ramsey. These gentlemen will report
progress this (Tuesday) evening, and, as
some of the largest subscribers to the
Saugatuck Valley project have intimated
a desire to re—subscribe in like amounts,
there seems to be a good chance of getting
the road. Any capitalist in Norwalk or
elsewhere desiring to invest in a road,
which will pay as well as the Danbury and
Norwalk ever did during the first twenty—
five years of its existence, can have a
chance to do so. We can ofler along
line with two good ends, tide water, fir st-
rate harbor, a river with sites for 500
water powers, it va'lcy extensive and mag-
nificent, as inducements. Books with
chance to subscribes are now open.

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to amnch higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat 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 (pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duce by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set flit/in
his original declaration. The pension is re
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you Will

stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a
rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit. will

good cases. Soldiers sufl‘ermg with disabilities
