Norwalk at Detroxt. Our Norwalk journalistic friends who attended the national editorial convention at Detroit last week have just returned, and give satisfactory accounts of their be. havior While away. The principal event of interest to their friends in Norwalk was the speech of Journalist Moses H Glover. When. he responded to the call for a few remarks he was seated beside Journalist E. O. Keoler, who whispered to him stealthily: “Get up and give them some guarded glittering generalities on the press, but be careful not to allude to the glittering sub- stitutes or transferable credentials.” Then spake'Moses unto the convention, saying: “Gentlemen of the National Editorial Association of the United States of Amer- ica: It is with feelings of profound pleas- ure that I rise to congratulate you upon this grand and auspicious gathering of the brains, the dignity and the unimpeachable virtue of this great and glorious nation. [Applause] This is the happiest. day of my life, barring the day I got married, the day I backed the winning horse at the last meeting of the Gentlemen’s Driving Asso- ciation, and that glorious day when the people shattered the chains that bound them ill slavery to a monopolistic aristoc- racy by electing Grover Clev—” [Here Journalist Keelcr pulled the speaker’s coat-tail and hissed, “For heaven’s sake, man, where are you heading? This isn’t a caucus. Spring ‘the power of the press’ on ’em.”] “Gentlemen of the convention,” resumed the speaker, “as I remarked be- fore, the press is the Archimedean lever that moves the world. It is more power- ful than the pulpit, the platform and poli- tics to boot. [Applause] Speaking of boots reminds me that we have in our store—” [A yank from Keeler at this juncture nearly upset the speaker’s equi- librium, and the whispered warning to re- frain from “talking shop” started him on the right track again.] “Gentlemen of the convention,” s'hrieked the orator, “I am here as a delegate from the grand old Nutmeg state, and as a representative of Connecticut journalism. AndI shall be roud to be able, on my return to my daily field of labor, to chronicle the fact that from among the hundreds of eminent journalists here to-day, a call was extend- ed for a few humble remarks from me, as a recognition of the worth and standing of the Ridgefield Pl'es.—” [Here Keeler jerked the speaker’s coat-tail again and whispered savagely, “What do you mean? Don’t you know that I have the Ridge- ‘field Press credentials ? You represent the Mechanics’ Journal.”] "My colleague informs me,” proceeded the speaker With- out the slightest show of trepidation, “that I do not represent the journal that 1 represent, but that on the other hand he represents the journal that I represent, which is the Mechanics’ Journal.” [Great applause in the gallery and loud cries of “What’s the matter with Glover?—He’s all right l”] “The Journal, Gentlemen of the Convention, is devoted to the welfare of the mechanics. And here I shall take advantage of the opportunity to correct the erroneous impression that the mechan- ics of Connecticut are skilled only in the arts of manufacturing wooden nutmegs and wooden pumpkins, and in putting pasteboard soles on the ladies’ shoes, on which latter subject I ought to be some- what qualified to speak, having had ten years experience—” [Here Keeler, in sheer desperation, jumped to his feet and hissed, "In mercy’s name, Moses, stick to the text. You’re giving yourself dead away.”] “My colleague, Mr. Keeler,” Glover went on, in a matter of fact way, “intimates to me that he has a few well chosen remarks that he would like to re- mark before this convention, and says if he doesn’t get a chance to remark them very soon he’s afraid he’ll forget what he wants to say. Therefore in order that the convention may have an opportunity of listening to Mr. Keeler’s address, I will conclude, thanking you one and all for your kind attention and hoping Mr. Keeler may deserve a continuance of the same.” Here the speaker took his seat amid a storm of [tumultuous applause] while the modest Journalist Keeler turned red in the face, glared darkly at Glover, and finally in response to repeated calls for “Keeler! Keeler! Speech! Speech i” he rose to announce that he had simply turned the stop-cock on Glover’s flow of language out of sympathy for the convention. The butchers of Danbury entertained sixty representatives of that trade, from various cities and towns ill this portion of the state, Thursday. Danbury has a thriving association, and it was principally through the efforts of its members that the gathering of last Thursday was brought about, for the purpose of effecting a per- manent state organization. At the meet— ing held in Odd Fellows’ Hall, the plans were carried out, and the following dele- gates were elected to the first state con- vention to be held at Bridgeport, Sept. 16th; J. G. Judson, Royal Adams, C. L. Rogers, Theodore Seiter, W. S. Rich, F. C. Bommis, Jr., 1. W. Stillman, and Thomas Henebry, two each representing respectively Norwalk, Waterbury, Bridge- port and Danbllry. After a session of speech making an adjournment was taken to the well-tilled tables, where the remain- der of the evening was pleasantly spent. hrough the courtesy of Messrs. Barrett and Folley, the party was driven about the principal streets of the city, the ride erminating at the Wooster House, where -efreshments were served. The Taylor a rum corps furnished music. The Water- ury delegation returned home Oil the ' ashington express, the others remain- ng over night—News. -090 -—~-——— - Bucklen's Arnica. Salve.

Last week was a grand exception to the 'eeks of this season, it being pleasant ad free from rain from the beginning to be close. Farmers have at last virtually finished aying. Mr. J. E. Miller is building a new barn. I he milk business cccasmns its need. \ any cows demand more stable room. The nice weather of last week was avorable for beach parties. Sunday evening there was a union orship at the Congregational church. cv. D. Taylor conducted the opening .ervices and Rev. W. J. Jennings preach- d the sermon NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, WISTPORI! The new legal holiday, Labor Day, was accepted by many as a time for taking a little recreation. Most of the factories shut down for the whole or part of the day, Occurring about midway between Fourth of July and Thanksgiving the day will be more and more accepted as form- ing an important break in the long mo- notony. I M. L. Filley, Esq., of Troy, N. Y., is visiting his son at his residence here in Westport. Who shall be our next postmaster ? is a question beginning to call for thought and calculation on the part of those, mostly, who would like, but stand little chance of getting it. Candidates are numerous. Democrats of the Cleveland civil service reform stripe unhesitatingly declare that the present incumbent has made a faithful and efficient official, and that he should remain to the end of his term. If a change is made, they say, the people, meaning the republicans, should holdacaucus and select the candidate. That’s the way they did when Captain Burr went out and Mr. Thorpe went in, but they forget that it is now a presiden- tial office and the old time rigmarole of caucus choosing is obsolete. The squirm- ing of the opposition, for their eyes have been “sot” since last November, is pa- thetic. They need consolation. By way thereof, this query is thrown out, Who ever saw a democrat that was not willing to hold office under a republican admin- istration ? The funeral of Charles Schell, age 13 years, who died of consumption in New- town on Friday of last week, took place Thursday morning from the house of Mr. Horace Staples. Rev. Mr. Backus, of the Congregational church, officiated. The burial was in Willow Brook cemetery. The deceased had, during a comparatively short residence here, shown those qual- ities of mind and those traits of character which impelled all who knew him to admire and speak of him as a good boy. The iron drawer or box recently taken from the Lees Manufacturing company’s safe by burglars was found a few days ago in the grass near the house of John R. Palmer, With it were found the com- pany’s bank pass books, insurance and other papers, all in fair condition. Three gold rings. postage stamps and a small amount of money were missing. E. S. Wheeler, Jr.’s yacht, Go Softly, took part in the New York yachting asso_ ciation’s regatta oflf Staten Island, on Monday. A disposition on the part of contempo- raries having been shown to make it appear that Mrs. Huldah Rockwell, the centenarian, belongs to some other town than Westport, it is proper to state that their efforts to settle :that belief to any considerable extent must prove fruitless. By the record the aged lady was born August 19, 1789, in Greens Farms, a part of Westport, and, although for upwards of 70 years she resided elsewhere in the county, she is now a citizen of that part of Westport known‘ as Cross Highway- Doubtless calling on her may elicit from her own lips a corroboration of these statements. Mr. Courtney, the official street lamp- lighter for the town, will please listen to what some people are saying, viz.: “Many of the lamps do not burn all night, some of them become extinct before midnight, others smoke and throw out uncertain rays, and occasionally show no light at all.” The trouble may be in the poor quality of oil used, or the small quantity of it applied. No fault can be found with the lamplighter, as he is as regular as a clock in his morning adjustment of lamps and his evening lightings. Cashier B. L. Woodworth, in laying a first class stonepavcdstreet gutter ill front of his homestead, solves the prob- lem of how best to get rid of accumulated water in summer and mud in spring in that locality. Rev. James L. Coley has purchased the flat-iron shaped tract with buildings known as the Davidson place, adjoining his own property. During the week nearly every day at high water the river has fairly swarmed with blue-fish about six inches long. Local fishermen have had line sport catching them with hook and line. One instance of success in this amusement includes nearly one bushel caught by two persons ill one day. The seerces ill Christ church Sunday morning were conducted jomtly by Rev. Alexander Hamilton and Rev. George W. Nichols, of Norwalk. The latter preached asermon with interesting features from the theme, “What a little child can do.” Patrick Murphy, ex-prcsident of the Fat Man’s Association attended the an- nual meeting and dinner of the associa- tion at Seaside Park last Thursday. He returned having been chosen its secretary and treasurer. Mr. Murphy before dinner that day Weighed 301. After dinner, it is said, the numeral 1 took second place. On Thursday last the funeral ”of Mrs. David Francisco who died on the Tuesday previous to her 70th year, took place from her late residence on Compo street, Rev. J. E. Coley officiating. The burial was in Christ church cemetery. Deceased wasadaughter of the late Burr Bennett and a sister of Mrs. George H. Nash. The 8.27 p. m. horse car from the vil— lage was discontinued Monday. One day last week two men giving their names as Michael St. Clair and William Sullivan paid their own way from Bridge- port to this place. For breach of the peace, drunkenness and assault upon James Warnock while here they were fined by Justice Finch $13.31 each [and were sent back to the Park City (jail) free of cost. It is rumored that Rev. A. N. Lewis has received and is considering a call from a first class parish. Whether the field is in this or some other diocese is not known. “PAUL.” NEWOANAAM ’I‘ed Brownson broke the record—every- body knew he would—and carried off the first prize in the handicap bicycle race last week. The Rev. Mr. Wyckoff and wife are en- joying a few days in town. Mr. H. A. Pinney and family were re- ported last week as being in the White Mountains. An error. It is the Catskills. Mr. Norbert Bassa is in Quebec visiting, after an absence of thirty years. The public schools did not open until Tuesday, as Monday was Labor Day. A building loan association was organ- ized last week, which is a good thing if as represented, for borrowers and lenders of money. The Rev. F. E. Hopkins spoke in favor of the Prohibitory Amendment, in Laurel Grove, near Meriden, last Friday. A new reader has been adopted by the School Visitors. It is the new Franklin series. The condition of Mr. E. F. Ayres is reported to be improving. He has been- lying quite ill at the Bell Island House. Miss Daisy Gardner and Mr. Andrus Weed were quietly married at the res- idence of the bride’s mother on Ponus street last week. The happy couple, it is understood, went to Niagara for a honey- moon trip. The new borough by-laws, it is report ed, are to be printed. It would be better to enforce some of them, or if that is not what is needed, make some that would result in paving, sidewalks, &c. Young Devanna, who got into trouble over in Bridgeport last week, has been working for some time in Stamford. He has friends in New Canaan who sincerely hope his sad experience may be the turn- ing point to better things. The Drug Store is one of the sweetest places in town owing to a new and large supply of choice perfumery just laid in. Nothing but the best is good enough for us, and even that is a little poor, for we have more than Norman blood. The Rev. Mr. Halt and two singers hold a Prohibition meeting Friday evening, in Raymond’s Hall. When city ministers croak and take three months’ vacation to recuperate and enjoy the profits out of salaries averaging in a month half of a whole year’s pay for some country parsons, they need to have a country charge where besides a scattered parish, one week’s quota of hard work is two addresses, two sermons, and a lec- ture. aschool meeting, an historical so- ciety meeting, a meeting to organize a Sunday School canvas of the town, &c. “Send the young men out into the coun- try,” say our divines of forty and five. Well, yes. The country is no place for men who get “weary” and complain of “exhaustion.” The Rev. Mr. Schoneld is at his post again in the Methodist church, after a pleasant fortnight on Long Island. Mr. Ketchum has rented the Misses Ayres house for two’ months from Septem- ber lst. Everyone speaks of the success of Stephen Hoyt’s Sons, field day in glowing terms. It was an occasion rightly im- proved to extend a knowledge of this model nursery, and as such an enterpris- ing concern reflects great credit on 'the town, New Canaan shares in the pride of the event. A Woman’s Discovery. “Another wonderful discovery has been made, and that too by a lady in this coun- try. Disease fastened its clutches upon her, and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved by taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracuously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co. of Shelby, N. C.—Get a free trial bottle at H. R.
