A Citizens’ Ticket.

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.

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.

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!

If, as Sour Kroul suggests, I should find

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.

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.

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?

What delightful reading we get in the
Norwalk departments of the Sunday pa-
pers. Verily genius hath an abiding place

here.
a:

“White-washing thc* aurora borealis
with pot-lead” is the Dutch contributor’s
latest allegory. 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.

Art Opening.

The art. opening by the Whitncys at
their rooms above the Boston store, was a
splendid success. The well stocked and
brilliantly lighted rooms were densely
crowded by admiring customers and
friends. Their lines of frames and en-
gravings were marvels of beauty and
cheapuess, whilenevcr has so large and
varied a stock of plain and fancy station-
ery and writing materials been offered
here at anything like their low prices.

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. Bottomc conducted the services, and
the burial was at Woodlawn. x x
