Prohibition.
Tire prohibitionists of Connecticut have
issued the following urgent appeal to their
friends in the state:
1. Do not wait for others to begin
work. Do not be deterred by the indiffer-
auce, hostility or criticism of others.
L'nite with all friends of the amendment
who are willing to give aid, and do not
wait until the last of the campaign, but do
something at once. .
2. Arrange for meetings. Lse your
home talent. Several of the best speakers
can be sent from headquarters forexpenses
and collections. Apply for these to Fred
M. HOpkius, secretary, \Vrllrmantre. On
these terms meetings can he held in every
town by a little effort on the part of our
friends. Your cornmitte would urge the
immediate necessity of public meetings in
halls, churches and on the street. .
3. Send all the money you can rarse to
L. P. Augur, Middletown, treasurer of
the amendment committee. Send to The
Home otlice for papers and circulars. .
Your committee wish to make a Vigor-
ous and a successful campaign, and must
therefore have the hearty co-operauon
and support of every prohibitionrst.
Let there be no wavering in our ranks
until the votes are counted on the 7th of
October. Very sincerely, _
MARVIN KNOWLTON, Chairman.
We have taken the pains to get the
views of many of these sincere and earnest
enemies of the rum curse, and friends of
its utter extermination. We do not find
that any of them have a belief that the
preposed measure can be carried in
October. They simply rely upon the good
moral effect that their heavy vote will
exert on the people of the state and the
advance their effort is sure to make to-
wards an ultimate triumph of their cause.
Could all the voters of Connecticut, who
are hostile to the liquor evil, be convinced
that prohibition could be made to prohibit
we are confident the proposed measure
would be overwhelmingly carried. For-
tunately the question is to come up free
from partizan complications, and it is
to be voted on pure and simple.
High license has apparently been demon-
strated to restrict present evils, and is
advocated as the best present, practical
remedy for the rum evil by many earnest
temperance reformers. Other equally con-
scientious enemies of the liquor traffic
aver that they can have no part in giving
consent. through a license, to a business
that makes drunkards of their fellow men
and works only injury to the community.
Thousands of such men will. vote for pro-
hibition with no faith that it can be car-
ried, or if it were enacted into our organic
law, that it could be efficiently executed.
We chanced to meet Senator Ingalls a
few days since, and he gave us a most
interesting account of the workings of
prohibition in his state. In Kansas he
said the prohibitory enactment had at least
resulted in outlawing and putting under
the ban the sale of intoxrcants. Instead,
as formerly, a liquor saloon being on
every corner, or one or more on every
business block in all their larger towns,
open and inviting and alluring the young
and old to walk in and imbibe, all such
places were closed. There were no Open
or public places where liquors were sold,
but when sold, as he admitted they were
sold, it was done covertly and in secret
places as other criminal acts were com-
mitted. Ile remarked that he personally
considered the appetite for alcoholic stim-
ulants as old as the race of man, and, in
many natures, as inherent and dominant
as the sexual appetite, but by thus legally
ostracising and outlawing its public sale,
alltratlic in it was driven to the dark
and secret places where other degrad—
ing crimes were committed. For this
reasorr alone, the senator assserted, that
even though liquors were still clandestine-
ly sold in Kansas, the benefits resulting to
the general public from its prohibitory
law could not be exaggerated. This is
the testimony, not of a zealot, nor ofa
man whose mind, prior to the enactment
of the law in his state, was entirely free
from doubt and scepticism as to its benc-
ficial effects, and we submit, iflSenator
Ingalls’ testimony is not worthy of the
very serious consideration of every honest
voter in Connecticut.
The Hoyt Grape.
The party assembled at the Hoyts’ New
Canaan nursery yesterday, to examine
their new horticultural wonder, “ The
Green Mountain Grape,” was a large and
notable one. We have not time or space
this week for as full 3 report as we would
like to give. T. S. Gould, the state’s p0-
mological expert, in his remarks declared
that in his Opinion, this new, hardy and
early white grape “was a wonder and a
treasure in the horticultural worlt .” Lt.
Gov. Hyde, ex-Supt. Moody of the consol-
idatcd railroad, P. M. Augur of Middle-
field, J. T. Lovitt of New Jersey, and
editor of the Orchard and Gardcn,Ben.
Norris, of Danbury, with others, express-
ed their great admiration of all its good
and wonderfully promising. qualities. A
sumptuous dinner was served on the
lawn in front of Mr. Edwin Hoyt’s resi-
dence, and all were invited to visit the
ripening grapes on their trellises and fill
themselves. It did our heart good to see
such veteran horticulturalists at the table
as Dr. M, B. Pardce, John Smith, Ira
Seymour and ex—Editor Lyon, of South
Norwalk at the joyous festival. Tire im-
mense nursery grounds and fruit orchards
were traversed and Mr. James Hoyt’s no-
horn cattle visited and justly admired.

Comrades, don’t forget the reunion of
your old regiment to-day at Noroton.
The New Life Elixir.
Dr. Hammond and Dr. Sayer have get-
ten into a very bitter and personal contro-
versy growing out of the new and start-
ling Brown-chuard discovery which for
a better name is called the “elixir of life,”
and with which the public are fully famil-
1ar. There seems to be well authenticated
cases where the elixir has effected very
remarkable cures and still others, where
very serious injury has resulted from the
introduction of the new preparation.
Very naturally our local physicians are
taking a lively interest in the new and
novel discovery, but none probably are so
absorbingly interested in it, as Dr. A. H.
Baldwin. The Doctor is not a man to
laugh at or to whistle down the wind, any
discovery that promises to rejuvenate or
benefit mankind, simply because it is new
or novel or unique. lle, as we understand,
does not give it his unqualified endorse-
ment, looking upon it as not having as
yet been sufficiently tested to warrent
unreserved approval. The good Doctor
has a. theory also, that will commend
itself to the average intelligence, that the
true way to test the virtues of the elixir
would be to take say a trio or quartette of
individuals, who might be srrpposcd to be
susceptable of benefit, and by trying them
all rrnder the same conditions and at the
same time, with elixir prepared from the
same animal,notc its effects on each subject
and then determine the average of good
ill ro resulting from the experiment.
Thus upon such fairly weighed averages
he would be able to tell whether the elixir
made from the cat, rabbit, guinea-pig,
goat or sheep would be most cfiicicious in
each individual case, and which animal
was the most congenial and possessed the
best natural affinity fonhis patients. For
instance, a trio composed say of Select-
man Samuel Daskam, A. H. Hoyt and
Judge Andrew Selleck, thus experimented
upon, would demonstrate not only what
animal was best suited to their systems
but which would produce the greatest
cxaltations of mind and body; while a
quartette composed of say James Mitch-
ell, Alonzo Kelly, Hon. Josiah Dodge and
Isaac Lee, would natually not only illus-
trate all the salient effects of the elixir, but
enable him to unerringly diagnosis the
idiosyncraeies in each individual case sure
to follow upon its use. We hope such a
syndicate or elixir-trust may be secured,
and the experiments tried in the interest
and for the benefit not only of the individ-
uals named, but for the cause of medical
science, which is far above all personal
considerations.

Odds and Ends.
“Rosie’s” suggestions as to the cleaning
of crosswalks and streets do not meet
with much notice. I fear she will have to
wait for it as long as the residents of Wall
street will have to wait for the health
officer to remove the cause of the intol-
erable stench which comes from the rear
of the buildings on River and Cross streets.
It is a disgrace to our lovely town that
such negligence should be permitted, but
it is a fact none the less. The' negligence
and the stench are, alike, unbearable at
times. .
People passing the Norwalk hotel on
Sunday, could not fail to notice a placard
posted up on one of the trees in front of
the building, bearing this announcement :
“Josiah Dodge, Attorney—at-lay, Divorce
cases a specialty.” Either the distin-
guished looking gentleman has decided to
turn past experiences to profitable ac-
count, or else sonic mischief-loving in-
mates of the hotel have been trying to
impose upon the good nature of Mr.
Dodge, by a false announcement to the
public. If so, the wicked offenders ought
to be punished severely.
It is a significant fact, that just before
the ringing of the fire hell on Saturday
night, the streets were deserted in and
around the bridge, but at the first sound
of the bell, such an outporing from the
saloons as has seldom been seen responded
to the cry of fire. A prominent merchant
on Main street remarked that “each saloon
poured out from twelve to thirty men in
about two seconds.”
Our soldiers came home from a weeks’
encampment at Niantic, Saturday,looking
as brown and healthy as if their week had
been one of idleness, instead of active
service from 6.30 a. m. to 6.30 p. m. each
day. Governor’s day, (Friday) brought
out an immense crowd of people from all
surrounding towns and cities, and all
were unanimous in saying that for regu-
lation marching and drilling, none did
better than the 4th. Reg, and to my way
of thinking Company F were “one of the
finest.” ODDS AND Enos.

D. 0., who for some time has been making
faces at “Rosie Rowe” of the GAZETTE,
last week had the temerity to ask that
“usually mild and Winsome lady” how old
she was. After “scratching” his face for
his impudeuce she seemingly felt sorry at
her own temerity, and bathed the wounds
in the followrng artless words: “If you
have intentions, and those intentions are
honorable, I have‘no objections to assur-
ing you that I am not too young, but just
too young to be burdensome; and not too
old, but just too old to be giddy.”
West; Norwalk in Arms Again.
West Norwalk is convulsed with an-
other “religious” squabble, one of the
results, uud )ubtedly, of the evangelistic
labors of U. Grant Houston, B. S., who,
with his acrobatic exhortations and crazy
chart of the Universe, immortalized him-
self by kicking up a row among the godly
dwellers in that little hamlet last winter
that caused the brethren and sisters to
take sides and spit fire and brimstone and
make up faces at one another, and result-
ed in a long and hot and bitter law suit
which brought out some astonishing de-
velopments that made a significant com-
mentary on the brotherly love and chris-
tian harmony that prevailed in the society
of the West Norwalk union chapel. The
factional feud has existed and intensified
ever since last winter, and neither side
has lost an opportunity to tantalyze the
other. The latest eruption shows how
great a matter a little cow kindleth when
all hands are spoiling for a light. A cow
belonging to a good deacon strayed over
onto the domain of the Sunday school
superintendent. The deacon belongs to
the U. Grant Houston faction, and the
sympathies of the S. S. superintendent are
with the anti-U. Grant Houstonites. while
the cow manifests her neutrality by brows-
ing impartially off the cabbages of the
one and the turnips of the other. The S.
S.superintendent, on'Spying his neighbor’s
cow in his cabbage patch, did then and
there with force and arms and brick-bats
and cobble-stones, by beating, striking,
howling and hooting, drive the cow out.
Then he went to the deacon and said to
him: “Brother, while I would not for a
moment lose sight of the scriptural pro-
verb that ‘He that ruleth his passion is
greater than he that taketh a city,’ I am
constrained to remoustrate with you in all
friendliness and brotherly forbearance
against allowing your d—d old cow to
run through my cabbage patch, and I
warn you here and now that if she tres-
passes again I’ll shoot her d——d head
off!” The deacon, with an air of chris-
tian resignation, folded his arms across
his peaceful breast and mildly responded :
“Be not deceived, brother, for while my
faith is pinned on the beatitude which
says ‘Blessed are ye when men shall per-
secute you,’ and so forth, I want you to
understand that if you abuse my cow I’ll
hammer the holy stufiin’ out of you, and
don’t you forget it.” There the cow epi-
sode, to all appearances, ended; but soon
the afifair got noised about and became an
“issue” in the factional fight. The anti-
Houston partisans saluted the deacon as he
passed with “Cow, cow I” and the Hous-
tonites, on encountering the S. S. super-
intendent, made war upon him with the
taunting cry : “So boss! so boas! How
about the d———d cow?” etc. At last
virtue ceased to be a patience with the
deacon, and he had one of the enemy
arrested for shouting “Cow” at him and
on Saturday Judge Selleck had another
picnic in the court room when voluminous
testimony was introduced, a large per-
centage of which was as well calculated
to convict the deacon of complicity in the
srege of Paris, or of_responsibility for [the
Johnstown flood, as to throw light on the
question before the court. The judge
listened nearly all day. and when he in-
definitely adjourned the case he made a
few pertinent remarks, in the course [of
which he said: “I don’t know what
kind of religion you people have over in
West Norwalk, but it strikes me it must
be a peculiar religion that requires so
much law to control it.”

Burial of Editor Horace Seaver.
Editor Seaver, the free-thinker, was
buried Sunday at Forest City, near Boston.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, the lifelong
friend and associate of Mr. Seaver, said
“Good-bye” as the last sod was placed on
the grave. This was all the ceremony at
the grave. At Paine Memorial Hall, how-
ever, there was a great crrrsh of the de-
ceased man’s friends to hear Colonel
Ingersoll’s eulogy. He referred to 'Mr.
Seaver as a pioneer and toiler, who had
fallen asleep at the end of his task.
“Horace Seaver,” said Mr. Ingersoll,
“followed the light of his brain, the im-
pulse of his heart. Tire religion of his
day filled his heart with horror. lie was
kind, compassionate and tender, and
could not fall upon his knees beforea
cruel and revengefui God. He could not
bow to one who slow with famine, sword
and fire, and Jehovah had no attribute
that he could love. He attacked the creed
of New England—a religion that had a
monster for a God, a religion whose dog—
mas would have shocked cannibals feast-
ing upon babes. The man had that su-
perb thing which we call moral courage—
courage in its highest form. He knew
that his thoughts were not the thoughts of
others, that he was with the few, and
where one would take his side thousands
would be his eager foes. He believed in
the religion of free thought and good
deeds—in a religion for every day. He
lived for this world. If there be another
he will live for that. He’ did what he
he could for the destruction of fear.
The destruction of the imaginary moi]-
ster who rewards the few in heaven,
who tortures the many in perdition. How
little, after all, we know of what is ill or
well. How little of this wondrous stream
of cataracrs and pools, this stream of life
thatrises in a world unknown and flows
to that mysterious sea whose shore the
foot of one who comes hath never pressed?
How little of this life we know—this
struggling ray of light ’twixt gleam and
gloom—this strip of land by verdure clad
between the unknown wastes, this throb-
bing moment filled with love and pain,
this dream between the shadowy shores
of sleep and death. We stand upon this
verge of crumbling time, and we love, we
hope, we disappear. Again we midgle
with the dust, and the ‘knot intrinsicate’
forever falls apart.”
Attempted Murder in Bridseport.
A narrow escape from what might have .
been a dual murder occurred in Bridge-
port. about 7:30 o’clock, Monday evening.
It appears that E. L. DcVanne and a
companion named George Smith, both of
Stamford, were seated on the stairs lead-
ing to the carpenter shop on South avenue
when John Cook, a fish peddler, and a
man named Graham, came along selling
peaches. He stopped in front of a house
oppos1te where DeVanne and Smith were
sitting, and dismounting entered the
house where he had sold SOme fruit.
While Cook was in the house Graham ’
thought he heard a pistol shot in the di-
rection of the carpenter shop, but on look-
ing did not notice anything unusual. On
Cook’s coming out of the house and being
about to drive off DeVannie walked across
the street, and leveling a 22 calbre Smith
& Wesson revolver at him, exclaimed :
“Give me that gun or I’ll shoot you.”
Cook was so surprised that; he inquired
“What gun ?” and thought DeVanne was
only joking. The latter, however. was in
earnest, and again exclaimed : “Give me
that gun before I count three, or ——- —
you, I’ll kill you; one, two, three I” Be-
fore Cook had time to hardly move, De-
Vanne took aim and deliberately fired at
his head. Cook threw up his right arm,
which the bullet pierced just above the
elbow and struck him in the forehead ,
glancing off. DeVaune cocked his revol-
ver and fired again, but the second shot
did not take effect. Cook jumped from
the seat of his wagon, and, regardless of
his wounds, tackled his assailant. The
latter got away, however, and started to
run. He was pursued, however, and,
after a. struggle, was captured, disarmed,
and pounded to unconsciousness before
being subdued.
I Shortly afterwards Smith, the companion
of DeVanne, was found in a half conscious
condition, covered with blood, at the ' top
of the stairs leading to the carpenter shop.
It was found that his lower jaw bOne was
shattered and his face terribly swollen
and also injured internally. He was
taken to the hospital, and he was, at
last accounts, unable to speak. Cook’s
wounds were also dressed at the hospital,
and he afterwards returned to his home.
DeVanne, on recovering consciousness,
was locked up. The whole affair is un-
doubtedly due to DeVanne being crazed
by drink.
‘WILTONZ
The Zion’s Hill M. E. church has been
repainted, and the cemetery cleaned up
and enclosed by a new fence.
Mr. Benjamin Davenport of Winnipauk
is in town for a week or two.
Theodore Sturges, a Meridian, Miss.,
merchant, is in town visiting with his
brother, William Sturges.
People recognize the hard luck that has
Overtaken our highway contractors, but
still if a few of the large cobble stones laid
bare by the rain were removed, we could
wait for the rest.
The report that our town officials were
to institute a still hunt for unregistered
dogs is untrue. _
The temperance work in Wilton has
received quite an accession to its forces
by the organization of a local W. C. T. U.
with the following officers : Pres. Mrs. H.
G. Thompson ; Vice prests. Mrs. T. S.
Knapp and Mrs. L. D. Keeler; Rec. Sec.
Mrs. W. H. Hickok ; Cor. Secy. Miss Kit-
tie Sturgcs : Treas. Mrs. J. T. Hubbell.
On Friday last a large and pleasant meet-
ing was held, which was addressed by
Mrs. Fitzgerald, of Bridgeport. After-
wards a Loyal Temperance Legion was
formed, over thirty children being enroll-
ed. The ladies propose to persevere in
this good work, and Friday evening Mrs.
Fitzgerald will address a. public meeting
in the town hall. The ladies also propose
to know why section 2141 of the general
statutes has not been complied with in our
public schools.
Our miserable apology for a town hall,
was filled as full as possible on Monday
evening to listen to an entertainment given
for the benefit of St. Matthews’ church,
which was well worth the patronage
bestowed. The entire programme was
excellent in selection and rendering. The
writer is too unlearned to act as a critic,
but will nevertheless state that “The le-
gend of Bregenz,” and “Burial at sea,”
were well handled. The affair was quite.
pleasant in all its details, and proves that
Wilton people know and like a good thing.
If we only had a good assembly room of
some sort, affairs of this kind might occur
more frequently. .
If the law relating to wild carrots was
inforced in this town and the price col-
lected, the town would have more money
than they get out of the dog tax.
The Congregational church and Society
will hold a special meeting, on Friday to
take action regarding a settled pastor.
Builder F. S. Banks has provided a new
roof for the South Wilton school house
greatly to the regret of the small boys
who had hOped that the school house
would remain uninhabitable for an indefi-
nite period. .
Tire familiar form of the Rev. Dr. Sew-
ard was seen in the pulpit of the Congre-
gational church on Sunday, and it is un-
necessary to add that the congregation
heard a good sermon.
Wilton people, who cannot attend the
Paris exposition, Watch the progress of

Thelletter in last week’s GAZETTE from
Rev. Frank Thompson seamau’s chaplain
at Valparaiso, Chili, settles beyond a
doubt the death of Thomas B. Gunning.
Mr. Thompson was pastor of the Congre-
gational church in this place before he
went to Chili, and knew Gunning both
in this country and in Chili.

To Builders and Those who Con-
template Building.
ONE of the most useful publications for build-
ers and persons contemplating building is
the beautifully illustrated Architect and Builder
Edition of the Scientific American, published
monthly by MUNN Jr 00., the celebrated Patent
Solicitors, at 361 Broadway. New York.
It has become the custom for most of the build-
era in the United States and Canada to keep on
file this publication, not only for their own bene-
fit, but for the use of their customers, and they
and their business promoted by so doing. A
great variety of dwelling houses, costing from a
few hundred to several thousand dollars. are
illustrated in each monthly number, besides a
double page printed in colors, representing one
or more handsome residences already built. After
the design for the elevation of the house has been
selected. builders are enabled to give a close esti-
mate of the cost of construction as the working
plans accompany the elevation. Most persons
contemplating the building of a. house or stable for
their own use derive both pleasure and consider-
able saving, sometimes, by carefully considering
at their leisure, and by their fireside, various de-
slgns and plans which may come before them. To
enable a person to come to a wise conclusion in
such an important- matter as building a home for
his family, he will be wise if he brings the subject
before his entire household, and studies carefully
over in the domestic circle the style of the house
and the interior arrangements. It not only af-
fords great pleasure to the entire family to be
considered in the matter but good suggestions
will come from it, and mistakes will be less likely
to noon in the selection. By all means consult
the wife and grown-up daughters if so fortunate
as to have them. and to this end everybody who
contemplates building should provide himself with.
a complete file of the Architect and Builder
Edition of the Scientific American, some forty
numbers, and then he will have at hand not only
the best material to select. his desigu'from, but he
will also find the publication useful and profitaple
to refer to while the building is being constructed.
If a person does not find the design for a house,
or other structure he contemplates building, that
suits his fancy, or the estimate of the cost is too
greatina single number of the publication, he
will be very sure to find in some one of the other
numbers something that will suit both his fancy
and parse. Hundreds of dwellings have been
erected on the plans that have appeared in this
publication, and any person who contemplates
buildlng, or who wishes to alter, improve, extend,
or add to existing buildings, whether wings, por-
ches, bay windows, or attic rooms, will be pretty
sure to find wnat he wants in the Scientific Amer-
ican Architect and Builder, which is published
on the first of each month at the office of the
Scientific American. 361 Broadway. Subscription

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great 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
disabilitylucreases 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-
duced by examlnlug surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in

more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
