EDITORS GAZETTEI—It must, I think, im- press every thoughtful taxpayer in our borough that whoever our next board of officials may consist of, they ought to be not only our best citizens, but men of the best business qualifica- tions. Our enormous debt, making our taxes unavoidably heavy; our manifold public inter- ests and needs, our growing population, our multifarious demands for the constant use and expenditure of large and small sums of money imperativeiy demand a board of the highest intelligence and integrity. I have no “slate” of my own, and have heard of none, but it has occurred to me that if a non-partisan board could be made up of the following men or men like them, the public interests and the interests of the heavily burdened taxpayers of this bor- ough would be surely promoted and conserved, and I suggest 3. “Citizens Ticket,” composed, say, like unto this: For warden, James W. Hyaitglor scnior’burgess, George ll. Cowles or Charles C. Betts; for next burgess, General Darius N. Couch; next, William H. Earle; next. l‘rederiek Mead; next, General Charles Oilnstead or llomer Merlill; next, Edward Strut or 0. E. Wilson, and so on. I have strivcn to divide up the ticket as fairly as possible between the two parties, for it im- presses me that this is a time and an occasion when our local interest are of far more conse- quence than any more partisan advantage or asceudcncy. Think of it, Messrs. Borough Voters, and improve my ticket any way you can. BOROUGH Taxrxxun. The above emanates from a source en- titled to the highest respect. The writer is, moreover, an earnest republican, and on all state and national issues would be vcrylolh to leave his party organization or nominees. Yet he deems the present personal and pecuniary interests of every resident friend of our borough and the borough’s needs to be far above mere partisan triumphs and advantages. His appeal so impresses us with its value and timely importance that we do not hesitate to give it first place in our columns to-day and invite for it as the writer does a thoughtful and honest consideration of the propositions. Most of the persons named have already served in the same capacity with advantage to the borough and credit to themselves. In all probability a large majority of them would now greatly pre- fer not to be voted for, yet we believe so influential and general is the desire for the election of our best men, without regard to party, that if some such plan could be crystalizcd as to secure the assent of con- siderable numbers of leading republicans and democrats to the to: mation of such a “citizens’ ticket,” the owner of about every name mentioned above could be in- duced to serve the public just one year for the honor of placing our local muni- cipal affairs upon the highest possible basis. -———————<*>—v~~ ‘ Stratforcl‘s Anniversary. The beautiful, elm swathcd old town of Stratford Thursday celebrated the 2501b birthday of the Congregational church. There were three Services. In the morn- ing at 10.30 an historical address was dc- livcrcd by the Rev. Joel S. Ives, and the icy. George F. Prentis, the Rev. Joseph A. Freeman and the Rev. Charles Ray Palmer assisted 111 the services. The com— munion of the Lord’s Supper was admin- istrated hy the Rev. Dr. William K. Hall and the Rev. Franklin S. Fitch. The at- terno In programme was an extensive one, including short addresses by the pastors of sixteen of the Congregational churches of l”;.::licld county. lions in and responses by delegates from the numerous oll’spring of the church. All the pastors of Congregational churches in llzfeigcport responded in behalf of their char; .' The evening services included addresses bythe Rev. Dr. William K. Hall, the Rev. Fraul-Ilin S. Fitch and the Rev. Henry M. Bond. Stralford’s church history is perhaps more important and varied than that of any town in the State. The town was founded by a party from New Haven col- my 1638. The historic church was coeval with that date. It was the first thing attended to. and stood on the site of the present capaeious structure. But un- fortuo.-Itcly the rccords of the church were burned in the meeting house when it was struck by lightning in 1785, and all the records previous to 1765 were destroyed, while the records of the town to 1650 are also not extant. This is a misfortune, for if thr- record of the church from its foun- dation had been preserved there would be no question as to the facts about the more than locally famous church difficulties at Stratford. ———<+ Hon. Samuel Fesscndeu, at his home in Stamford, is steadily improving from the effects of his recent fall. His physician hopes to have him on crutches some time this week. It seems that there was no fracture at all, although the first report had it that his hip was broken. What did happen was thai the muscles of his right leg above the knee were violently wrench— cd and unshcathcd by the force of his fall, and this is as bad as a fracture as regards pain or the delay of recovery. While the yacht was at anchor at Chinoo- tcaguc, waiting for the tide to cross the bar, lllr. Fessendeu went forward about 2, o’clock in the morning to see what was the condition of the water. A hatchway on one side of the deck had been left open and the light had been removed from near it late in the night. Consequently he put his foot into the opening. At once he grasped the life line, but it was slack, and as his weight came on it he swung around and went down landing on his right leg. He is making as rapid a recovery as could be expected. ill There Were salutaJ NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 1889. RA NDOM RAMBLINGS. BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER. When my sister’s husband read the Record Dutch Contributor’s insinualion that he must be an “insatiable tank”— well, another damn broke loose. And what a flood of profanity burst forth 1 Of course he had to vent his spleen on me. “You are the cause of all this, Rose,” he said. (He always calls me “ROSc” when he is out of sorts, and “Rosie” when he is good-natured or has been drinking.) “You persrst in sending your foolish driv- el to the paper,and, not content with mak- ing a fool of yourself, you must needs make the rest of us appear ridiculous, and aggravate that Dutch contridiotlnto not only casting Inucndoes at me but referring disparagingly to my ‘tribc.’ Now I have no objection to your showing yourself off as a niuuy as much as pleases you by grat- ifying your vanity in seeing your non- sense in print, but I do most emphatically protest against being dragged into such humiliating notoriety, or having my fam- ily lampooncd through your imbecility. Remember.” It seemed a trifle harsh to be berated in this style simply because his own outburst fell flat in print, but of course we literary people cannot expect to be forever treading a path strewn With roses. vi< * * How little it requires to find some peo- ple out! 2+: :I< >I< If, as Sour Kroul suggests, I should find myself In need of the elixir of something new and fresh, I’ll take an injection of the elixir of Sour Krout. * * >a< Is ithardly fair to our local clothing dealers who are permanently established in business here, who pay their share of taxes, and who contribute to the success of all undertakings for the welfare of our community and the various civic and social organizations that comprise it, to grant outside “cheap Johns” the free priv- ilege of coming here, renting a vacant store for a brief period, and selling at “fire insurance sale” a lot of “tired” goods at cut-throat prices ? Surely the theory of “protection to home industries” ought to apply here in some way. at * * So the doctors are going to play a game of base ball on Friday with the druggists for the purpose of starting a hospital fund. Good. The end will justify the means. But what a game it will be. And what an affecting spectacle will be dis- closed when thc smoke of battle clears away and shows the belligerents binding up one another’s wounds and setting one anothcr’s broken limbs. I shall try to see that game. What sport it will be to see Dr. Dexter Hitchcock throwing a balllike a woman “shooing” a hen out of her flower bed; Dr. Gregory as short stop try- ing to stop the ball like a farmer heading off a drove of perverse pigs; Dr. Baldwin throwing dignity to the winds and hold- ing up his hands in a devotional attitude for a fly ball to go through; Dr. Burke as pitcher hurling his fancy Iii-shoots and out-shoots ’way beyond the reach of either striker or catcher; Dr. llchonegal in mus- tard colored shoes, running like a fright— ened cat from first base to second tenor; Dr. Murray’s sprightly legs flashing in the sunlight as he chases a deceptive grounder forty feet beyond where the ball stops. And so on. Ten to one the druggists beat them. , Sour Krout answers the query about his intentions with another query about my age. These dodging tactics are, by gen- eral consent. of the lords of creation, the strongest weapons of femininity. Can it be that the Dutch contributor is a woman? But perish the thought! llis self assur— ance alone would banish that apprehen- SlOll. , :1: >5 I do wish I could gctjintercstcd in lawn tennis, but I can’t, fascinating as it is to the young people nowadays. When I went to school we used to play hide and seek, hop the hat, wood tag, squat tag, duck on a rock, and sometimes, when we girls could get together “all alone by our- selves” we would indulgc in a game of leap frog. But I can’t see head nor tail to this lawn tennis. * * * The GAZETTE of last week said: “The Lenox reporter of the Pittsfield Sun is ex- periencing the yearning of a long-felt want and makes it known without mincing mat- ters, thusly: ‘Wantcd—A wedding.’ If he is really in earnest we would suggest an interview with Rosie Rowe. who, some people seem to think, has the same hank- cring.” Thank “ some people ” for nothing. I’m not exactly hankering—least of all, for reporters. I’ve learned that as a general thing they grow cold and clammy. How- ever, is this reporter*nicc looking? all * What delightful reading we get in the Norwalk departments of the Sunday pa- pers.

Would he speak of the capitol dome as being copper-bottomed on top with gilt? * So Mr. Kceler thinks :the boot and shoe business doesn’t mix up well with an edi- torial speech. Possibly Mr. Keeler doesn’t acquiesce in the popular notion that any- body, regardless of his inability to man- age any other branch of business, can run a newspaper. The chestnuttyakeonuddrum, “Where do all the pins go to?” has a parallel in the query suggested by the numerous and flourishing shoe stores in town, what be- comes of all the old boots and shoes? “Much Ado,” Etc. A certain pOpular young merchant on Main street had a summer experiencea few evenings since that for the time being threw a little circle of merry-makers into. consternation. He was Seated beside his wife on the piazza of a residence on Union Park, among a. party of young people on the evening in question, the whole com- pany being engaged in innocent frolics productive of much glee and laughter, when, to protect his head, which is as bald as his teeth, from the draft, he put on his hat which stood beside him on the piazza. No sooner had he adjusted the tile, however, than he gave a shriek, and with both hands uplifted, went through the most, remarkable series of gesticula- tions imaginable, and as his frenzy iu~ creased the convuls10n extended to his legs and feet, and, balancing himself on .his crupper-boue with both arms and both legs gyrating wildly and violently in the air, his appearance was suggestive of an octopus in the agony of its death throes. The others viewed his contortions first with amusement, then with amazement, and as the spasm continued, his good wife with wild alarm, exclaimed: “For heaven’s sake, Fred! What 2's the matter? I always knew you were doomed to some terrible catastrophe, and now it has come—what is it?” “Oh! oh!” shrickcd Fred, without rc- laxing the vigor of his gesticulations, “There’s something in my head I” “Impossible!” replied the good wife, now fully relieved by her conviction that it was all a hallucination, “Impossible, Fred; I’ve known you too long to believe that.” “I mean there’s something on my head I” pcrsrsted Fred, with an extra kick. “Equally impossible,” carelessly replied the wife, “your head is smooth on the outside, too.” “But I tell you there is somethiugin my hat, and I’m sure its a bat,” desperate- ly insisted the wretched man, with a more violent spasm than over. “Then why in the name of common sense don’t you take your hat off and let it out ?” suggested the wife, with an inef- fectual attempt to repress a smile. The suggestion was full of magic, and as the idea seemed to take hold of Fred, that perhaps the best way to get the monster out. of his hat was to let it out, he ceased his squirming, straightened up and took off his hat, when out jumped one of those night miller thingumajigskippcrs, a sort of cross between the cockroach and the doodle-bug and half as big as a hat, that flies in the open window at night, goes “bump” against the wall and drOps to the floor with a thud. The disagreeable beast had taken refuge in Fred’s hat before he put it on and when it found itself a pris- oner, it very naturally went bumpity- thump with its upmost energy, against that bald head, in its efforts to escape, and this was what caused all the commo- tion. e 001» H. W. Wright. Col. H. W. Wright, of Gt. Barringtou, died suddenly in Bridgeport on Sunday morning. He had on the day before per- sonally and successfully directed the de- tails of 1115 great harvest cxcursrou to Concy Island, the arrangements for which he had for weeks previous devoted his whole time and attention to perfecting. After leaving Concy Island, at about 7 o’clock Saturday evening, the Colonel had asevcre hemorrhage on the boat, lhc Sirius, and on his arrival at Bridgeport he was taken to the hospital where he died a few hours later. Col. “flight was a prominent and respected citizen of Gt. Barriugton and exerted a potent influence in the democ- racy of Berkshire county. He had for several terms represented his town in the Massachusetts legislature. He had for years been a member of the state central committee and was chairman for the west- ern district of Massachusetts. He had an enviable war record, having served with distinction in the Harris Light Cavalry, and was taken prisoner and confined sev- eral months at Belle Isle, Va. The primary cause of his death was undoubt- edly Bright’s disease. Deceased leaves a wife, two daughters and a son, a printer employed in the Berkshire Courier office. Col. Wright was amost companionable, genial man, of cheerful and magnetic ‘ temperament, and with a rare and happy faculty for making and retaining friends. His kindness to the Norwalk firemen on the occasion of their visit to Gt. Barring- ton a few years ago is well remembered by them, and his sudden death will fill them with regret. .0 Art Opening.

Locxwoon.—Suddenly, on Saturday, the 7th man, at Rocky Hill, Conn., John W. Lockwood, of New Canaan, in the 65th year 01' his age, For the GAZETTE. John Fitch. The Hon. John Fitch, who died in New York Sunday week, took great pride in his Norwalk descent, He was wont occa- sionally to visit this town, and published a number of years ago quite a roll of the Fitch family. He caused to be set out the trees which mark the tomb of Gov. Fitch, and was much interested in matters per- taining to his family history. He was of assistance to the Rev. Mr. Selleck in get- ting up his Fitch memorandum which is appended to the St.Paul’s 1886 century address, and presented him With several copies of the Fitch coat of arms. It has been a matter of interest with him, in common with some of the Vachnssalaer family, to establish the Fitch- Rogers con- nection, which is beyond all dispute so done in the centenary address referred to. In this connection a visit was made Mr. Selleck on Monday by H. Livingston Rog- ers, Esq., of the banking house of Living- ston & Rogers, who has arranged for a transcript of a portion of the early Nor- walk records pertaining to this ancient household. A present has been made to the same gentleman, by a Livingston, of a copy, nearly one hundred years old, of the cscutcncon of John Rogers who was burned at the stake at Smithlield, England, in the 161h century, and Mr. Selleck has made, and is still making, search for a rare relic which he would like to restore to the family, and which Miss Martha 1. Lamb. the New York annal- ist tesrifies was on the morning of July 12th, 1789, removed haslily from the house of Dr. Uriah Rogers which stood upon the site of the present residence of the venerable and honored Mrs. James Mal‘ lory, and in which chancellor James Kent spent some ofhis happiest boyhood hours. A Rogers souvenir has been unearthed from under the foundation of one of their Norwalk residences, and a highly inter- esting family‘paper has been found in an old house on the Wilton road, and still another souvenir in the garret of one of the ancient homes in Fairficld county, so that the discovery of the Town House Bill relic is not dcspaired of. It has been recently intimated to the rec- tor-.of St.Paul’s that a marble will be set up in the old 'churchyard to perpetuate the name of one of the founders of the parish, and it is to be hoped there will yet. be a Livingston—Rogers memorial inside the church. Judge Fitch belonged to the order of the Cincinnati, and the SLNicholas, the Union League, and the New York Yacht clubs. He was also a member of the So- ciety of the Sons of the Revolution. His funeral was held at Grace church, New York, Wednesday afternoon. Mem- bers of the Union League club, the St.- Nicholas club, the New York Yacht club, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution and the Society of the Sons of the Cincin- nati, to all of which Judge Fitch belonged, were present. The pallbearers were Wal- ter Hutchins, James M. Smith, General IV. T. Sherman, Samuel I. Knight, 13. F. Camp, Frederick F. Talmadgc. Edward Schell and Russell Sage. The Rev. Geo. E.
