Fairfield County Bank.

The air is full of rumors in regard to
coming changes in the oflicering of the
above venerable and solidly established in-
stitution. One is to the effect that E. O.
Keeler is striving for the Presidency and
is making purchases of large blocks of
stock to that end. Another is that E. J.
Hill has been seized by the worthy ambi-
tion, but as he stoutly denies the soft
impeachment, the rumor has no other
foundation probably than the fact that he
purchased a block of the stock at the
ridiculously low figure of 60 and imme.
diately sold it out at a $100 advance. A
little bird is also humming in the air that
ex U. S. Treasurer James W. Hyatt is lay-
ing his course, with all sail set, for the
same Presidential goal. As our sly and
amiable friend is knowu to have the same
great qualities that made Cmsar famous,
itis not surprising that all the heaviest
bets are on his securing the coveted prize
over all competitors. But the annual
election of officers for this bank does not
take place till the middle of next January
and a great many things are liable to hap.
pen in the meantime. It would not be
surprising if after all that has occurred,
its present President should insist upon
being relieved from any further care,
anxiety and responsibility for the future
conduct of the bank’s affairs. Indeed such
is his present openly avowed purpose, yet
this is a question largely to be determined
by its stockholders and board of directors.
The Fairfield County Bank has been one
of Norwalk’s oldest, staunchest and most
honored institutions. It has for a long
series of years enjoyed an exceptional
reputation for safe, conservative and up-
right management and has as a natural
consequence, enjoyed for the same long
period, almost unexampled prosperity.
The misfortunes that have recently overtak-
on it, are such as seem to soon or late, inev-
itably overtake the most carefully and sa-
gaciously guarded financial organizations.
Individuals as well as banks seem beset
with the same vicisitudes no matter how
wisely adroit they may be. But the absur-
dest feature about thislbank’s misfortunes
has been the almost panic that has seized
upou many of its stockholders and the

‘ ridiculously low figure at which much of

their stock has been sold. This is no
doubt mainly due to what seems to many
to be an unwise if no. wholly unjustifiable
withholding of" the exact facts regarding
its condition from the public. We are
glad to be able to state that a vote was
passed at the last directors’ meeting, that
any stockhelder should be permitted to
see the report of the expert employed by
the bank and which shows beyond cavil
that after all bad debts and liabilities are
marked off. the stock is still solidly worth
80 on the books and that when the one
third reduction of its capital stock is
completed, the stock will then stand good
for 107. It would seem that nothing but
good could result to the bank by giving
out this expert report to the general pub-
lic, for surely every true friend of Nor—
walk and its local prosperity and best
interests,should be gratified at so thorough,
exact and entirely reliable evidence of this
venerable Bank’s unquestionable sound-
ness as this report is asserted to give.

At all events, the “plant” alone, of a
bank with. more than a half century of
existence and honorable and profitable
standing and character, would in the
estimation of sound financiers. constitute
a value for future business, far in excess
of the rates at which much of the stock of

this bank has recently been sold.

The Screen Law.
The full text of the “screen law,” so
called, which goes into effect August 1st,

is as follows :—

SECTION 1. No premises where. intoxi-
cating liquors are sold shall, during the
time when such sales are prohibited by
law, be so Obstructed by any curtain,
screen or other device, as to prevent a
full and unobstructed view of the bar and
interior of such premises from the main
entrance, or the street or Sidewalk adja-
cent thereto. Boards of County Commis-
sioners shall enforce the provisions of this
act. by such rules and regulations, not
inconsistent with the law, as they may
deem expedient. '

SE0. 2. Every person keeping a saloon
or other place where intoxicating liquors
are sold, except licensed druggists, who
fails to comply with the provmrons of the
preceding section, shall be fined not more
than $50 or imprisoned not more than 30
days, or both, for each offense.

An erroneous impression has existed
that the law prohibited screens during
business hours, so that every person taking
a nip would be visible to envious eyes
outside the saloon window. But the
members of the legislature themselves

didn't care to go as far as that.

On 9. Picnic Spree.

Warden Cooledge and Burgess Morison.
in total disregardof the fate of their de—
serted borough and its sweltering tax
burdened and humidity kicking inhabit-
ants, drove off four-in hand in the monster
Morison drag Saturday afternoon, for a
respit over Sunday at Lake Wacabuc.
The drag was filled with merry pairs of
married and single lads and lasses, all on
pleasure bent, while poor barber Franke,
newsman Sloan and plumber Jones, were
left to sweat and stagger under the weight
of official care and responsibility for the
borough’s destiny during the absence of
its chief.

Geo. W. Selleck, of Selleck Bros., com-
menced his series of summer outings yes—'-
terday;

St. Paul’s.

Rev. C. M. Selleck, rector of St. Paul’s
Church, has selected Rev. W. C. Rich-
ardson as his assistant rector and he will
move to Norwalk the present week and
'occupy the so long vacated parsonage
with his family, which consists of wife
and three little girls. Mr. Richardson has
become a decided favorite with the wor-
shipers at St. Paul’s, be having occupied
the pulpit most acceptably for several
Sundays prior to his appointment. His
last residence was at Durham, Conn., and
formerly lived in Washington, D. C., and
is said to be the person whom General
Grant, while President, accidently ran
over, in the streets of that city, and so
seriously injured his leg as to cripple him
for life. The General, it was reported at
the time, had everything possible done for
the injured lad and even sent him abroad
for. treatment.

The services at the church on Sunday
morning were partially commemorative of
the late DR. MEAD, who was for so long a
time Rector of the old cure.

After reading the Gospel for the day,
Rev. Mr. Selleck spoke a few introductory
words substantially as follows:——“Be-
cause of his rare qualities of head and
heart, because of his wide influence,
because of his masterly conception and
championship of the church’s system, and
his eloquent protests against all innova—
tions upon her faith and order, because of
his native force and brave cast and thor-
ough manliness of character, an eminent
ecclesiastical historiographer writes that it
is ‘well to keep the memory of Dr. Wm.
Cooper Mead green.’ One decade ago
this giant in our Zion stood in this spot
and vigorously delivered the remarkable
sermon which proved to be his last mes—
sage to his people and the church. His
words on that occasion, as was the vale—
dictory of his predecessor, the venerable
Kemper, were timely and admirable every
way, and were the very epitome of his life
teaching. That teaching, which, although
always cheerful, was sedately solid and
spiritual, insisted with unfailing persist-
ence that the supreme necessity of the
world today and every day is not the
world’s multiplied utilitarian inventions,
nor its art or science, nor its intelligence
or refinement, but Jesus Christ. He was
his constant text. This apostle of sound
Gospel facts and strong GOSpel sense
stoutly taught that a living, breathing,
vivified Christ, a working and witnessrng
Christ in the daily character and com—
merce was the demand, the power and
the glory of any century. 0, in a day
that magnifies human wit and talks so
loudly in praise of the progress of the

outward cultivation ninety and nine times
higher than heart development and en
lightenment how helpful to recall the
indomitable hostility of this war horse,
as we might denominate him, to all such
twaddle.

Brethren, the light, which, ten years ago
come Wednesday next, went so suddenly
out on yonder parsonage porch, left a
brilliance behind it that is virbrant. May
we of this ancient parish walk in the same
divine light under which our departed,
rector so long walked, until in God’s good
time that old pastor’s prayers for this peo—
ple are all answered, and through ‘the
golden gates cn golden hinges hung,’ we
shall walk in the light of the Lamb,
forever and forevermorc.” Amen.

The hymn, “For all thy Saints in War-

. fare, For all they Saints at rest,” was then

sung, after which the Rev. Dean Nock of
the diocese of Michigan commended, in a
brief address, the life and example of Dr-
Mead to old and young.
The service closed with an ofiertory
and the benediction.

The Secret Ballot Law.
The secret ballot law will become Opera-
tive on the lst of August and will apply
to all state, city and town elections there-
after. It had been generally thought that
the October elections this year would
escape, but such is not the fact. There
are 168 towns, and a large amount of
work will have to be done between now
and October in order that the pro-
visions of the law may be carried out.
The prohibitory amendment will be voted
on at the same time that the annual town
elections occur. Some legal questions are
likely to be raised concerning the amend-
ment ballots. The law provides special
ballot boxes for the reception of these
votes. Heretofore the boxes for the re-
ception of constitutional amendment bal-
lots have been maintained by the side Of
the regular ballot boxes at the town
election. Whether such juxtaposition can
be maintained under the new law is a
matter of doubt. The presence of a box
tender at the constitutional amendment
ballot box would certainly be in conflict
with the language of the statute.

Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, July 15, 1889.

DEAR GAZETTE :—A very pleasant sur-
prise from the employes of the Treasurer’s
office awaited ex-Treasurer Hyatt on his
visit to the Treasury ddpartment, last week,
in the shape of a valuable hunting case
gold watch, chain and charm. The works
are of the celebrated Breitting Swiss make,
stem winding, and has all the latest im~
provements. On the outside of the case is
engraved his monogram, on the inside is the
following: “James W. Hyatt, Treasurer of
the United States, May 24th, 1887, to May
10th, 1889. From the Employes of the
Office June, 1889.” On the back of the
case is handsomely engraved the seal of the
Treasurer’s Office, and of the size adopted by
Mr. Hyatt while in office. The links of the
chain are oval in form and alternate plain
and chased. One side of the charm is of
bloodstone with the letter “H.” deeply cut.
The other side being a large fine carbuncle
witha head intaglio. Mr. Manson, in pre-
senting the token, said to Mr. Hyatt: “You
came to us as a stranger, but by your uni-
form kindness and courtesy you have won
from us all our highest esteem and admira-
tion, and in presenting to you this testim0«
nial it is our desire that you may have a
substantial reminder of our good wishes for
your future happiness and prosperity every
day and every hour."

Mr. Hyatt, although overcome by emo-
tion, soon rallied and said: “Ii. is one, of
the happiest events of my life to accept such
a beautiful gift, which carries with it so
many pleasant recoliections and assurances
of high your esteem.”

Many of the clerks then took the oppor-
tunity to again shake hands with the ex-
treasurer, and wish him good health and
long life. I. B.

And Yet Not Happy.

That stalwart organ of unterrified' de-
mocracy, the Hartford Telegram-Record,
thus elucidates the problem of democratic
defeat last fall :

_ WHY WE WERE DEFEATED.

Much has been said and written regard-
ing the democratic defeat last fall. Vari-
ous reasons have been assigned as the
cause, but to our mind the best and truest
of all is expressed in the followmg para-
graph in a Washington despatch of last
Thursday: '

The clerks in the United States Treasurer’s
Office yesterday presented Treasurer Hyatt with a
handsome gold watch and chain. Mr. Hyatt
enjoys the distinction of not having made a single
dismissal in his department during a period of
four years.

Mr. Hyatt became treasurer of the

United States soon after Mr. Cleveland’s
administration commenced. He found
several hundred republicans in office un-
der him. Many of these were not under
the classified service, and should have
been at once displaced by democrats, but
instead of making such proper changes he

. . . . . . .. . . - ' . ' _ ' ' n ' _
race, and ranks 11121, cmhzation and mgh, ; did not make a “Single dismissal in four

ears.

y It is due to Mr. Hyatt, however, that
we should say that while he was treasurer
the chief of the redemption bureau in his
department died, and- that be filled his
place witha sterling young Connecticut
democrat, the Hon. Albert Relyea, of
Westport, whose head we expect seen to
see “rolled into the basket” by the repub—r
lican headmcn in their intense greed for
office. =

It is not a matter Of surprise to us that
these republlcan “hold-overs” gave Mr.
Hyatt a fine watch and 'chain. They
could well afiord to do so under the
circumstances. Our only Wonder is 'how
it came about that our presidential ticket
last fall got as many democratic votes as
it did in the country, when we take into
consideration the fact that a professed
democratic president, elected by demo-
cratic voters, should have so little regard‘
for his constituents as to place and keep
in the chief Offices of the government all
over the country such democratic oflicials
as Mr. Hyatt seems to have been.

Mr. Cleveland and his federal appointees
have taught the democrats of the country
a Sad lesson. .The republicans are now
profiting by our experience by placing
their friends and supporters in power
wherever and whenever opportunity Offers.
We think that they are acting sensibly by
so doing. and hope that in ’92 we may be
able to elect a democratic president who
will follow the republican example of sus-
taining and supporting his constituents.

 

The Port Chester Enterprise very sensibly
protests against the term “tom—boy” to any
girl who habitually takes healthy exercise.
A tom—boy girl has more common sense
than your Miss Nancy, effeminate young
man who wears corsets, chews the head of a
cane and says “Bah Jove.”

The demand Of the age for low prices
has been fully met by the publisher of the
Monthly Globe, a first-class literary paper,
full of poetry, puzzles, and miscelaneous
reading. On receipt of twelve cents the
paper will be mailed one year to any ad-
dress aud a standard novel in pamphlet
form sent as an extra free gift. > Addrébs

How it Strikes Them.

The Norwalk GAZETTE which is as good
as it is venerable, has adopted the popular
eight page form, and displays much youth-
ful activity in its reading columns. It has
anolly senior editor and a witty junior.—
l illimantic Journal.

The old Norwalk GAZETTE is hardly
recognizable in its improved form. It is
one of the oldest state papers, which is
less wonder that it has not long before
adopted the quarto forn. Though con-
servative, it knows an improvement and
is willing to adopt it when the time
comes—Ridgqfield Press.

_ The Norwalk GAZETTE bobs up serenely
in its new and improved form. The dear
old lady is as frisky and kittenish as ever
and shows that the 89 years during which
she has furnished her readers with reliable
news have not been spent in vain. Scri-
Ously, the GAZETTE has made a wise move
in discarding the old blanket sheet and
adopting the more modern eight page
form. Here’s to you, GAZETTE, and may
you enjoy another 89 years of prosperity,
and may your shadow never grow less.—
Danbury Press

That venerable journal, the Norwalk
GAZETTE, has startled its friends by ap-
pearing in an eight page form. The GA-
ZETTE was, we believe, the largest blanket
(4 page) sheet in the state, consequently
the change in its case is all the more
marked. We can assure the editor he has
made a big improvement.——Danbury News.

The Norwalk GAZETTE has discarded its
blanket sheet and now appears as a six
column eight page paper. The change is
a good one, as we discovered years ago,
when we were compelled to change from
a folio to a quarto.-—I’ortolzester Journal.

In Norwalk newspaperdom the old GA-
ZETTE has adopted the eight page form of
make up. Of course we think it an im-
provement. A more valuable improve-
ment even than this, is the arrangement
by which Mr. Rodemeyer’s energies and
talents will be devoted exclusively to the
editorial service of the GAZETTE. We look
to see it in his hands renew its youth, and
resume a career worthy of its opportuni-
ties and prestige as the oldest business
institution in Norwall:.—Stmnford Advo-
cote.

The old Norwalk GAZETTE keeps right
up With the times. Though aged it is not
conservative. It has discarded the blanket
sheet style, and is now published as an
eight page paper. There are a number of
our old inhabitants who can remember
when the GAZETTE was brought here by
carriers on horseback, and who have taken
it for years, and they speak of it as the old
reliable GAZETTE. It is brighter than ever
Since the change.—- Greenwich Graphic.

The proprietorship and management of
the Norwalk Record have been relin—
quished by John Rodemeyer to 'Allen G.
Betts. Mr. Rodemeyer established and
made a success of the Record and gives it
up in order to devote his entire attention
to his position on the Norwalk GAZETTE.
The latter paper has been enlarged and
changed in the makeup. being now a
paper of eight pages. The paper is one of
the oldest and best in the county, and
deserves the prosperity it enjoys—Stam—
ford M‘ews. .
