NE WOANAAN.

The Ladies’ Industrial Society of the

longregational church were favored with
a. very pleasant day for this large and
beautiful lawn party held on the church
grounds on Thursday afternoon and even—
ing of last week. The horse sheds were
beautifully trimmed with evergreen and
hunting, and at evening the grounds were
illuminated by over a hundred Japanese
lanterns. Visitors were present from Nor-
walk, Stamford, Ridgefield and an omni-
bus with over twenty from Southport.
According to the gate receipts over seven
hundred people entered the grounds from
three until ten o’clock. The first attrac—
tion on entering was the ice cream bow—
ers, presided over by young ladies with
fantastic caps made to match in color the
trimmings of their booths. The young
ladies who presided at these attractive
places, were, Misses Martha Silliman,
Mary McKendrick, Mabel Raymond, Mai-
ion Hall, Sadie Brown, Fanny Benedict,
Bertha Scolield, Marion Benedict, Hattie
Schofield, SOphie Wolfe], Miss Ruseoe,
Ada Hallingsworth, Bertha Farity, Alice
Tuttle, Sarah McKendrick, Nellie Ruscoe,
Alice Whitney, Maggie McKendrick, J en-
nie Hoyt, Georgie Drummond, Agnes
Keeler, Estelle Ci'issey, and Nellie Jones.
Next came the lemonade well at which
Miss Bunncll and Miss May Benedict pre-
sided, and a children’s table under the
care of Misses Annie Davis and Mildred
Anderson, little guests of Mrs. Albert
Comstock. Miss Annie St. John and Miss
May Drummond dispensed peanuts from
a booth festooned with this popular fruit.
Mr. Hyde and Miss Kate Rogers§made the
children happy by selling them a choice
variety of toys, and candy at another
booth was sold in large quantities by Miss
Mamie Rogers and Miss Lilie Faulkner.
Three booths were devoted to an elegant
variety ofifaney and toilet articles which
were disposed of by Miss Eliza Patterson,
Miss Nellie Olmstead, Mrs. Dr. Keeler,
and Mrs. D. A. St. John. Miss Fanny
Hoyt had two booths under her supervis-
ion filled with exhibits from her own
artistic brush, and of which there was a
large but most exquisite variety. She was
assisted by Miss Agnes Flemming. The
supper room for which purpose the large
chapel of the church was devoted, was
thrown open, and hundreds formed and
partook of a most beautiful and bountiful
repast. The arrangements of this depart-
ment were under the supervision of Mrs.
Edwin Hoyt, assisted by Mrs. Joseph Sil-
liman. The Misses Comstock, Mrs. B. P.
Mead, Mrs. James Hoyt, Miss Price, Mrs.
John Selleck and others. Mr. Child was
present with his pony cart and gave over
a hundred children a drive upon the
Ridge, much to their delight. During the
evening Prof. Ferris, organist of the Bap-
tist church in Stamford, rendered some
choice selections on the church organ to
quite a company who repaired to the
building to rest and hear him. The ladies
all feel very happy over the success of their
efforts. For the past six months each
member of the society has been very busy
working for the end so pleasantly realized.
The work was performed through various
committees, of which Mrs. F. E. Hopkins
was president. Mrs. H. B. Rogers effi-
ciently superintended the final arrange-
ments, and generously devoted her time
in purchasing materials. The profits will
count up into the hundreds.

The much talked of handicap bicycle
race came off under favorable conditions
ast Tuesday. Willie Lee won first prize,
a gold medal. William Patterson, second,
a bicycle lantern. Lewis Sutton, third, 9.
bicycle bell. The distance raced was four
and five-Sixth miles. Let. Messenger mode
the fine record of eighteen minutes and
fifty-two seconds.

Dr. and Mrs. Carlton, of Haverhill,
Mass, are visiting Mr. Henry Olmstead,
Mrs. Carlton’s father. The Rev. Dr. L’er—
kins, Mr. Olmstead’s brothenin-law, is
under the same hospitable roof.

The Methodist Sunday School had. a.
stormy day for its picnic at Roton Pomt
last Friday.

Rev. John W. Ballantine, of Ridgefield,
exchanged white with Mr. Hopkins last
Sunday morning.

Mr. Raymond, proprietor of the Union
fish market has bought a sail boat which
he will proceed to load to the gunwales
with the choicest piscatorial morsels.

Mr. Frederick Lockwood has sold his
spacious and sightly house to Mr. Downey
who has occupied it as a summer resi-
dence for a number of seasons.

Building is quite active and several new
houses are going up, and others are prom-
ised in the near future.

Mrs. and Miss Silliman from Warsaw,
N. Y., are boarding at Miss Raymond’s,
on Railroad avenue.

A. Fire-Eating Editor.

The Centralia, Missouri, Guard is hav-
ing a fight with a local contemporary and
a “combine” of county ofiicials, and from
what Editor Rodemeyer, of the Guard,
says, he has made his enemies desperate.

He says :—

In its defence the Guard has unearthed
scvei'alttiings that the combine did not
antiCipate, and, as a consequence, they are
mad. In fact the Guard has stirred up
a regular volcano of blistering, devouring
wrath, which has spewed out the scum
that hovers over the stagnant pool of de-
pravity, lurking in _the most loathsome
depths of the abyss or the infernal regions
where lielt'sh imps caronse in deVilisli
glee amid the slimy serpents and foul
odors of eternal damnation, where
all the schemes of darkness are con-
cooled and distilled into the brains
of human emissaries who work out the
will of their master, the fiend of darkness.
The Guard has nothing to take back, no-
thing to apotogiZe for, and if all the devils
in hell are ea'lcd into the service of the
combine, and the entire contents of the
internal regions dumped on the editor, we
shall not swerve 0r shrink from the task
we have undertaken. With right and
justice on our side, a clear conscience, a
resolute will and a strong right arm, v .
shout defiance and bid the dance go on,
eVen though it be the dance of death.

 

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1889.

SO UTII-NOR WALK

Franklin K. Smith, cashier of the
Sprague National Bank, of Brooklyn, and
his wife, paid a visit to his uncle and
other relatives on Washington street the
first of this week.

Mr. Samuel Raymond, of the firm of
Raymond & Comstock, has been seriously
indisposed for a week, but seems now to
be convalescent.

The ball club which came from up from
New York on the 3.02 train on Saturday,
ought hereafter to have a freight car for
their use, as they annoyed the passengers
by keeping the front door open and stami-
ing in the passageway almost the entire
distance.

The new electric lights are now burn-
ing, but are not as bright as some ex-
pected, but probably fully as good as
promised.

Rev. Mr. Dunning preached in the Bap-
tist tabernacle, on Sunday evening.

Mrs. Delano has resigned her pOSition
as president of the \Vomen’s Christian
Temperance Union, in a very loving letter
to the association.

Afully attended and interesting meet-
ing of the U. G. T. R. A. was held on
Sunday afternoon, conducted by Mrs.
Ellendorf. The continued interest man-
ifested, and the signing of the pledge by
men who thus take the first step for refor-
mation, is good evidence that great good
is being accomplished.

Until Sunday week the meetings to in-
vor the constitutional amendment have
been planned, managed, paid for and pre-
sided over only by members of the Third
party. It was a relief to hear a few words
from non-partisan temperance advocates,
though presided over by a bitter partisan.

The Public W111 Appreciate It...

The public are indebted to the Royal
Baking Powder Company not more for
having perfected and prepared a leavening
agent that is pure and wholesome beyond
a question than for its exposures, so boldly
made, of the numerous impure. Unadul-
ated and injurious articles that are sold
under the name of baking powders, bread
preparations, etc., throughout the coun-
try. In making these exposures the com-
pany has, of course, made itself the target
for all sorts of counter attacks, but the
animus of these attacks has been perfectly
understood by the general public, and by
their very virulence have served to more
promenently call attention to the good
work of the “Royal” Company.

Ordinary adulterations such as are found
in coffee, spices, etc., although they are
swindles in a commercial sense, are often
tolorated because they do not particularly
affect the health of the consumer. But
when an article like baking powder, that
is relied upon for the healthful prepara-
tion of almost every meal, is so made as
to carry highly injurious if no rankly
poisonous elements into our daily food, it
is the duty of the public authorities to
take cognizance of it.

In this fight for pure food made by the
“Royal” Company. it is to be noticed that
the most trustworthy scientific authorities
are emphatically upon its side. In all the
contests of this company with the slum
and other impure baking powders the re-
sult has proved that every statement made
by the Royal Baking Powder Company,
both as to the purity of its own and the
adulteration of other baking powders of
the market, was fully authorized by the
most competent chemical and medical
authorities of the country.

In this contest two facts have been pretty
conclusively settled in the minds of the
public—the first that the Royal Company
has found the means, and uses them to
make a chemically pure article of food;
and the other that the market is full of
pmsonous, alum and other adulterated
baking powders which. no matter how
strongly endorsed by “commercial” chem-
ists, are to be studiously avoided.

A pure baking powder is one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing perfect
and wholesome food. The recent contro-
versy_in the press has left it no longer a
question with those who desire purity and
wholesomeness of food what baking pow-
der they shall use: . '

Is Consumption Incuruble 1’

Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris,
Newark, Ark., says: “Was down with
abscess of lungs, and friends and physi-
cians pronounced me an incurable con-
sumptive. Began taking Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption, am now on
my third bottle, and able to oversee the
work on my farm. It is the finest med-
icine ever made.”

Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says:
“Had it not been for Dr. King’s New Dis-
Covery for Consumption I would have
died of lung troubles. Was given up by
doctors. Am now in best of health.”
Try it. Sample bottles free at H. R.
Hale’s drug store.
