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. Builder Banks has contracted with Charles W.
