The Building Society Craze.
Under the above caption that most excel-
eilt publication, The Builder and Wood
lVor/cer, a monthly that ought to be In the
hands of every carpenter, carver or wood
decorator, has in its September number the
following sensible and timely suggestions:
\Vithin a comparatively short time the
organization Of building a\id loan associa-
tions has grown to such proportions, and
the number has increased with such rapidity
as to give rise to the fear among thinking
people, that in many cases.honesty is being
sacrificed to misrepresentation, and the
coffers of swindlers are being filled by the
unwary and thoughtless, who are too much
disposed to listen to every proposition made
by the various building and loan societies
that are springing up all over the land.

These societies, organized upon a proper
basis and conducted by honest men, have
contributed not a little to the prosperity and
comfort of the laboring classes especially.
In fact, they originated in the necessity that
existed among the toilers for means to se-
cure comfortable dwellings. Where these
societies liave been condueted upon a purely
mutual plan, as they profess, and where
economy has been observed in expenses and
caution in loans and the issue Of stock exer-
cised, much good has been done. The ex-
pense account has been kept at a minimum,
and the loans and stock have been propor-
tioned to the demands of the investors rather
than the officers,

It is, however, to be regretted that un-
scrupulous men liave taken advantage of
those who have become interested in this
eo-Operative help and aid to people of
limited means to secure homes ; and have
fleeced the weak in favor of the strong. The
alarm has been sounded. What might be
termed “wild cat” organizations are spring-
ing up all over the country, the aim of which
seems to be only to put money in the pockets
of the “agents" and officers at the expense of
tne investors. The Building Society Advocate
of Chicago, recently, devotes considerable
attention to exposing the “ways that are
dark” of the so—called “National” associa.
hens, and shows that in nearly all cases
considered, from 50 to 75 per cent. of the
membership fees on stock sold by them go
to the agents; that the expense fund in-
cludes all admission, withdrawal, transfer,
insurance, abstract and attorneys’ fees,
amounts paid for insurance or taxes on
property on which loans have been made,
fees, costs and disbursements of foreclosure,
together with ten cents per share per month
from the monthly payments on stock. It is
also provided in many cases that the ab-
stract, attorneys’ fees, insurance and taxes,
shall be charged to the parties getting the
loans. The officers and directors generally
are to receive such salaries as may be voted
by the board of directors, so that by the
time all these are paid there is but little left
as a loan fund. The suggestion is made
that state officers having . ngnizance of these
organizrtions make an investigation and
wind up and retire all such concerns as soon
as possible. We regard this suggestion as a
Wise one.

 

NORWALK GAZETTE, ’WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 1889.

The Second 0. V. Reunion.

This is the season of regimental reun-
ions; those festivals of reminiscence and
brotherly communion, where hand Clasps
hand with a grip that means more than a
more conventional greeting, and hearts
beat in sympathy more vitally strong than
the bonds of a friendship that is merely
the outgrowth of long and intimate asso-
ciation in the peaceful walks of life. The
proceedings at a reunion of veteran sol-
diers are as full of interest to the outside
beholder as they are of good cheer to the
participants, and as they are essentially
the same in their character, perhaps a
brief account of one will convey an ade-
quate idea of the general average.

The Second Connecticut Heavy Artil-
lery regiment held its 23d annutil reunion
at Kent on Wednesday last, which, by
universal acclaim, was, in point of enjoy-
ableness, second to none ever held by the
regiment. Kent is a small, slow-going,
unpretentious town on the Housatonic
road, whose patriotism prompted her to
sacrifice scores of her best and bravest
sons on the altar of her country, and
whose hospitality is as broad and limitless
as the air.

The veterans arrived on trains from
either direction all the forenoon, each suc_
cecding delegation being greeted at the
depot by those who had come before.
There was no aficctation or strained at'
tempt at conventional dignity about those
greetings. All seemed to act in accord-
ance with an unwritten and unspoken in-
junction, “Ye that have hands to shake,
prepare to shake them now.” The new
arrival shook one veteran with one hand,
another veteran with the other,
nodded a cordial how-d’ye—do to another
veteran at his right and shouted Hello! to
another on his left, all at the same time,
and mourned because he hadn’t as many
arms as an octopus. While waiting their
turn to shake hands with some especial
favorite, the crowd would shake with one
another “just once more for luck,” and
one socially inclined hero found an ineffa-
ble pleasure in boasting the proud dis-
tinction of having “shook hands with
every damn man in the crowd four times,
and some on ’em six.” In order to satisfy
himself that with some of the more zealous
of these shaking patriots it was simply an
epidemic of the shakes, and that their
greetings were distributed indiscriminately
and Without due regard to previous con-
dition of servitude, a reporter approached
one of the most persistent of the shakers,
tapped him familiarly on the shoulder
and simply said, “How are you, old boy?”
The response was not only conclusive of
the question of indiscrimination but pos-
itively startling in its vehemenec and cor-
diality. Grasping the hand of the‘reporter
with a cordial grip, the veteran ejaculated,
“Well, by—— —, comrade, how are you?

 

In this connection the following, in regard
to building associations in the state of
Maine, by the bank examiner of that state, I
can be perused with profit:

“The key to the almost uniform success of l
loan and building associations is to be found
in the intimate relations which they hold to
share holders and especially to borrowers.
Not only do they make it possible for per-
sons having small incomes to build homes
for themselves, by loaning money on unfin-
ished property as the/money is needed to
advance the work. repayable in small pay-
ments, but they exercise a scrupulous super-
vision over the interests of the borrower.
The conditions and situation of his proper-
ty, the plans of the architect, the character
of the contractor, the building material, the
work of the builder—all are carefully in-
spected by competent judges and subject to
their approval. ’ The loan and building
association thus forms a supervisory board,
whose assistance to the borrower is invalu-
able. Thc provision, uniformly and impar-
tially enforced, that dues, interest and pre
miuins shall be paid monthly, also con-
tributes in great measure to their success.
In practice this frequency and regularity
insure prompt payments from many who
would otherwise fall behind and soon neg-
lect payments altogether. The educational
character of one of these institutions is far
from being one of their least important
features. Then, too, these associations have
in view but a single object, which they are.
peculiarly adapted to promote. By the‘
stimulus of this single purpose, by the en—
thusiasm which it communicates, by the
fraternity of feeling in which it unites the
members of the associations, there is created
a powerful esprit du corps (the animating
spirit of a collective body). Member feel
themselves to be important factors in the
institution—at once lenders and borrowers
and sole managers—they are the institution,
and. inspired by such impulses, they labor
for the success and propagation of their en-
priSe with extraordinary zeal.”

Railway Talk.

A Boston dispatch to the New York
Dispatch says that the directors of the,
New York, New Haven and Hartford road
are keeping a sharp eye on the big plant
which the Housatonic and the New York
& New England are constructing at; 'Wil-
son Point. The directors of the New Ha-
ven road do not hesitate to state that be-
fore the completion Of the bridge at New
London, now a question of only a few
weeks, every effort will be made to divert
traffic from the New York & New Eng-
land to the Shore Line. Here is opportu-

nity for a first-class railroad fight.

“A Royal Band."

“A Royal Hand,” by Stanley Wood, is
the latest contribution to the mirth pro-
voking drama. The play is not over-
burdened with plot, but there is sufficient
story running through it to maintain the
interest, and the incidents are consistent,
not dragged in. The fun is bright, clean
and original. In the hands of the. well
known St. Felix Sisters this musical farce
comedy has made a decided hit. The
phonograph plays an important part——lts
first appearance on any stage—speaking
the lines of its part in a clear and audible
Through its mcdiations the

 

manner.

course of “true love” is made to run
smooth. “A Royal Band” will be produced
at the Opera House this (Wednesday)

you look just as natural as life ; let’s see,
I know you just as well as I know myself
but d—n me if I can think-of your
name!" As a matterrbf fact neither one
ever saw the other before in the world.
Some retired to the congenial atmosphere
of the hotel bar-room to cement anew the
bonds of brotherly affection, and occa-
sionally a battle-scarred patriot, moved by
the inspiring influence of Landlord Wild-
man's “artificial courage,” might be seen
assuring a comrade With unmistakable
demonstrations of undying affection, that
“I always loved you like a (bio) brother,
and will never, never le-(hicfleave you.”
These instances were rare, however, and
pardonable, for there is no limit to the
license accorded a convivial veteran at a
regimental reunion—he deserves all the
fun he can get out of it.

At noon, the veterans, to the number of
about 185, formed in line, and, headed by
the Kent cornet band, marched through
the mud in the middle of the road to a
hall, where the business meetingwas held,
officers were elected and vociferously
cheered, resolutions adopted, etc., after

Awhich the line was reformed, the flag,

which, up to this time had been carried
with the union jack down, was ripped
from its stud and turned right-side up
with care, and the veterans waded to the
tune of Susan Hada Baby, back to the
banquet hall where the bountiful hospital-
ity of the good people of Kent had made
itself manifest in the spread that awaited
the onslaught of the hungry host. It was
a feast fit for the gods And would seem to
justify the suSpicion ,that every one of the
ladies of the community had been sitting
up nights to think of some appetizing
dish that would excel anything that any
of the others would contribute. Right
royal was the banquet and most grace-
fully and graciously; was it served by the
committee of ladies—bless their hearts,
every onel—who had also thoughtfully
arranged a charming and fragrant bou-
tonniere at each plate. Before the feeding
began, an address of welcome was made
by the Rev. Mr. Bielby, of Kent, a- sleek,

marked trait to distinguish him as “of the
cloth” excepting his sanctimonious drawl
and the unobjectionablc pungcncy of his
jokes. While he was eloquently culogiz-
ing and welcoming the feeders, the band,
which had stationed itself in front of the
open door, with the usual proverbial
propensity for doing a very appropriate
thing in the wrong place, struck up:
“Trust Him Not, He’s Fooling Thee!”
Dominic Roys, who sat beside the speak-
er, bowed his head in a devotional pos-
ture to hide a capacious smile, and Dave
Soule swallowed the wishbone of a cold
turkey in a paroxysm of emotion ; Editor
Bollcs, of the New Milford Gazette, who
was eating a pickle, began to strangle, his
ears began to turn green, his tongue
walked out over his chin and shook
hands with his scarf-pin, and he would
undoubtedly have had a siege of the pip

 

evening.

 

if Ed. Ingcrsoll had not brought him to,

fat minister with a round, red face and 110‘

by pounding him vigorously on the back
With a potato masher; Disbrow rushed to
the door and brandished an umbrella
threateningly at the band-master who
evidently interpreted the gestures as a
signal for crescendo and turned on more
wind accordingly, just as the chap with
the big bass horn apparently ran across
an intricate series of fiy-specks on his
music book which he proceeded to “play”
with a gusto that made all the seats in the
hall vibrate and sent a tickling sensation
from the erupper-bone to the collar but-
ton Of every occupant. Finally the band
was muzzlcd, the minister finished his
address and Comrade D. E. Soule, of
New Milford, responded on behalf of the
regiment and paid a deserved tribute to
the people of Kent. Then the Rev. Com-
rade E. H. Roys started to offer up a
prayer, and had just reached the point
where he rendered thanks to Divine Prov-
idence that we live to see the realization
of our fondest dreams, etc., when that
irrepressible band had another attack of
wind on. the lungs and broke out in the
peculiarly unfortunate selection of the
Devil’s Dream. An executioner was has-
tily delegated to suppress the music,
which be accomplished by emptyng a
dish of baked beans down the brazen
throat of the bass horn, and the prayer
was finished without furthur interrupt-
ion.

The feasting over, the multitude assem-

bled in the open air in front of the hall,

where Comrade W. E. Disbrow of Bridge-
port, organized what hc called a “bush
meeting,” a sort of Methodist love feast
without the Amens. Mr. Disbrow was
forced bya popular vote to preside, which
he did with a tact and grace worthy of a
statesman. He got speeches out of the
priestly Captain Marsh of Bridgeport, one-
armed Judge Fenn of Winsted, fat and
funny Dominic Boys, and others, who
entertained the crowd for over an hour
with reminiscences, ghost stories, fish
stories and fairy tales of the war time that
made their hearers laugh and applaud.
There was no end of cheering. When
Disbrow found alull in the proceedings
or a dearth of volunteer craters, he uld
propose three cheers for somebody or
something, which were always given 'with
a will and a tiger, and when he could
think of nobody or nothing else to cheer
he proposed three cheers on general prin-
ciples as a salutary lung exercise, Ignd
kept the ball rolling. _ _»
Despite the inclemency Of the weather,
the affair was a grand success in its every
detail, and the Kentitcs are to be congrat-
ulated upon having so admirably carried
it out.

The officers elected are, President, Jef-
fery Skinner, of Winsted; vice-president,
D. E. Soule, of New Milford; secretary
and historian, D. C. Kilbourne, of Litch-
field; treasurer, C. W. Hinsdale, of Litch-
field ; color guard, J. N..Coe, of New Ha-v
yen, and C. B. Traver, of Sharon. The“
next reunion will be held at Winsted,
September 11, 1890, when the new sol.

diers’ monument in that place will be ded-
icated.

Hillside.

Mrs. Mcad’s Hillside boarding and day
school for girls, which is soon to open,
fillsagreatly needed want here in Nor-
walk. The mere learning and reciting of
a lesson froma school text book is a very
small part of a child’s education. Mrs
Mead fully appreciates this fact, and‘ no
lady teacher who has ever conducted a.
school here is more alive to the import-
ance of exerting every influence for the
highest mental and moral and physical
elevation and welfare of the pupil.

WIL TON:

A fair sized audience gathered at the
“town barn” to listen to a temperance
lecture by a Mr. Thompson, of New Ha-
ven, which was a wide departure from
the stereotyped sort that have become‘ so
familiar. The lecturer illustrated by
diagrams and pictures the manufacture of
beer, and when he finished it must have
been the opinion of those present that
beer does not merit the love it receives.
The lecture was under the auspices of our
local W. C. T. U.

The selectmen have adopted plans for
arranging the town hall to conform to the .
requirements of that legal fizzle known as
the secret ballot law.

When the impecunious approach our
village postmaster and desire credit for
postage stamps, they are told firmly but
politely that there are times when a “pub-
lic oflice is not a public trust.”

The town auditors are wrestling with
the accounts of the town fathers, and ex-
pect soon to issue the printed report.

“Town meeting” is less than a. month
away, and candidates should begin to rub
their'elbows and finger joints with sweet
oil and attend church. A Lord Faunt-
leroy smile can be worn to advantage.

Miss Susie W. Hubbell has returned
from an extensive visit with relatives at
Mt. Kisco, N. Y.

The new South Norwalk reservoir is
being pushed rapidly, the dam having
attained a lieighth of twenty feet.

A Card of Thanks.

It having come to my knowledge that
the clerks of the Boston Store intended
presenting me with some token of friend-
ship beforc I left Norwalk, but were in-
formed by Mr. O’Gorman if they did they
would be discharged after I left Norwalk;
I take this opportunity of sincerely thank-
ing them for their kind efforts, and accept
their generous will, with the same feeling
as would have accompanied a present.
