DEAR GAZETTE :—Thc contest over the adeption of the House rules came 'to an ‘i'nglorlous end for the contestants on Fri- of the situation throughout, as every one who knew him predicted he would be. Now that the partisan struggle is over, the better men on the democraticiside frankly admit that as a whole they are a great improvement on any heretofore adopted, especially in so far as they pre— vent any single crank or obstructionist who may be in the house from totally blocking the wheels of legislation. But they reach beyond that issue. It is an establishment of the fundamental doctrine which constitutes the bed-rock of all our liberties, that the majority shall govern, and the minority must yield. This re- sult. leaVcs the lower house of Congress in the hopeful piospect of getting on with the iieedful legislation of the session with- out unnecessary delays, and exasperating filibustering expedients. NATIONAL nosrnn or G. A. 1:.“ Senator Evarts, on Friday, introduced a ior to purchase five thousand copies of the historical book of reference known as the national roster of the Grand Army of the Republic, for which the bill appropriates $50,000. The purposeof this purchase is for the distribution bySenators and Rep- resentatives-Of one copy to each county library in the United States, so that it may be accessible to all who wish to read it. The bill provides that the roster shall contain not less than 400,000 names of ex- Union soldiers, sailors and mariners and the book must be approved by the Sec- retary of the Interior. - TEMPERANOE. , Senator Blair presxded at the mass meet- ing of the National temperance society at the Metropolitan church Thursday night. A number of other prominent advocates of the temperance cause had seats on the platform. An address favoring the intro- duction of temperance text books into the Stearns of New York, secretary of the as- sociation. Addresses were also made by Hon. J. D. Taylor of Ohio, chairman of the House committee on alcoholic liquor traf- fic; Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Iowa and Revs Geo. H. Corey. Senator Blair having completed his two days’ speech in the Senate in advocacy of his Educational bill he feels quite hopeful of its passage: Others less interested be- lieve it will be defeated in the Senate, but will go through the House. Senator Blair would solve the race problem at the south by universal education. Senator- Ingalls would do itby according the negro equal and exact justice under the consti- tution and the laws. Senator Plait has created a ripple of local excitement by the introduction Of a' bill prohibiting the manufacture and sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors in the District, which in its provisions is one of the most stringent laws ever attempted to be enacted. It absolutely prohibits the manufacture, sale or importation into the District of any kind of intoxicating liquor, including wine, beer, ale, porter and cider when it- is to be drank on the premises where sold. It makes it a penal offense uvct‘. to give it away. and in this respect adds to the prohibitory clauses the ger- mane part of the anti-treating laws, which exist in several of the states. The only use for which liquor can be sold is for medicinal and scientific purposes, and profiting by the experience which has greeted prohibition efforts in Kansas, where a liquor prescription counter flour- ishes like a green bay tree, Senator Plait has incorporated in his bill the most stringent provisions against its violation in that respect. To secure liquor one must have the prescription of a reputable physician, and the druggist who sells it is obliged to write the name of the purchaser across the prescription, and at the end Of each month send them to the District Commissioners for inspection. When spirits are desired for mechanical or scien- tific purposes the purchaser is required to make an affidavit, stating for what partic- ular purposes the liquor is desired before its sale can be legalized. These affidavits, like physicians’ prescriptions, must be sent. to the Commissioners each month. Even the most stringent regulations are thrown around the wine for sacramental purposes. Only the pastor of a church is allowed to purchase it, and then only on a. written application. For the violation of any of its provisions a penalty of $100 to $500 and not more than six months’ im- prisonment is provided. In a personal interview on the subject matter of the bill the senator declined to discuss its provis- ions or give his own views in regard to it. . Continuing, he said: “I had almost for- gotten about the bill this sessron, when it was called to my attention by some one connected with the W. C. T. U., I believe, and I was asked toreintroduce the meas- ure. It is identically the same measure which I introduced last session. At that time it was not suggested to me by any- one, but the bill was prepared bya gentle- man who is thoroughly conversant with the District’ laws. Last year’s bill was never reported from the committee, but I am confident the measure I introduced to- day will meet with a better reception, and that some action will be taken on it.” NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19’ 1890. ’ _ STATEMENT, The Washington .Poat, fearing perhaps that its own indulgences in social irriga- tion, were in danger of being circumscrib- ed, kicks vigorously against the habit it says congressmen have of making this city an experimental station for all sorts of laws and vagaries which they dare not introduce into the legal codes of their own states. As there isn’t a ghost of a chance for Senator Platt’s bill' becoming a law here, the alarm of the Post and others is needless. Our Senator is receiving hearty com- mendation for his successful efforts in obtaining so important a consulate as Quebec, for a plain workingnian, Mr. Frederick M. Ryder, who is a practical printer and has been foreman in the com- posing room of the New Haven Palladium for several years. He was born at St.- Jolins, N. B., but came to Connecticut when he was a youth. He is now about forty years of age and has reSided in Quebec, can speak the mongrel French so much in vogue there, and is well posted in Canadian affairsmnd a wide-awake, pop- ular and well informed gentleman. Theo- dore W. Downs, of Bridgeport, whom the late IVm. H. Barnum induced President Cleveland to appoint as consul to Quebec, and whom Mr. Ryder succeeds, has made quite a large and friendly acquaintance among the many Americans who visit that quaint Old city as summer excursionists, and as anglers in quest of the beautiful and aristocratic but elusive salmon, now caught on rare occasions in the “pre- serves” Of the Canadian nobility. any. DR. oniLDs TURNS EPISCOPALIAN. A profound sensation in religious circles was created here to—day by the reading of a letter at thc meeting of the Washington City Presbytery from Rev. Dr. T. S Childs, so long the able and devoted pas- tor Of the First Congregational church in Norwalk, but, during the past few years, connected with the Presbyterian denom- ation and recognized here as one of the ablest and most zealous of their preachers, renouncing his further connection with that body and purpose of connecting him- self with the Protestant Episcopal church. During a lull 1n the discussion over a revision of the Confession of Faith, it was suggested that Rev. Dr. T. S. Childs, who had determined to ask for a letter of dis- missal from the Presbytery, be allowed to present his letter at this time. Dr. Childs said, previous to this, that lie was placed in a rather delicate position, as he intend- ed to withdraw from the Presbyterian church in order to connect himself with another church. He had hoped that the question of revision would be decided, and after he had placed himself on record it was his intention to withdraw. He would, however, leave it to the Presbytery when the question of his withdrawal should be considered. It was decided to allow him to present his letter at once. Dr. Childs then read his letter, which was laid on the table without debate for further consideration. The letter is as follows : To the Presbytery of Washington City : Dear Brethren: I would ask a dismissal from your body to the Protestant Episcopal church, diocese of Maryland. It is unnec- essary to dwell upon the reasons that. have led me to seek this change. I find in the Episcopal church a doctrinal faith in sub- stantial harmony with our own, I find a worship reverent, spiritual, Comforting. I find a communion of saints in which I hope to enlarge the experiences of the past and have a pledge of a still wider communion of the future. I do not go out with or to controversy. I go with the hope of yet fuller service for the Master in the work of a common faith and the bands of a common love. My rela-‘ tions to the Presbytery have been always pleasant and never were more so than they are now. These relations cannot be severed without pain. I trust, however, that the bonds of personal and Christian affection may remain unbroken. F raternally yours, T. S. CHILDS. It has been well known for a considera- ble time to the Doctor‘s more intimate friends, that he has been rcstive under the ignoring of the ancient confession of faith Of his church, and of a tendency by a very large body of its pastors and members, towards Universalism and Unitarianism, in the adoption of their new creed, but his letter announcing so radical a change in his own faith and doctrine was truly a sensational surpriSO. GEN. ALGER 1:: TOWN. Gen. Alger, commander-iu-chief .of the G. A. R., arrived in this city Saturday, and at once proceeded to "Calumet Place” the home Of Mrs. Gen. Logan, whose guest he is. This evening he will attend the encampment of the Grand Army, which meets at G. A. R. hall. He goes to Baltimore tomorrow, accompanied by the members of his staff of this department and many others, to attend the G. A. R. camp fire and banquet to be held there to-morrow evening. A big dinner is to be given the General at Willard’s, after the ceremonies at G. A. R. hall, at which our Senator Hawley is to be one of the promi- nent guests. BUMANE SENATOR. Riding up the avenue last week with Senator and ex-Gov. Vance, of North Cap"- olina, who is the jolly story teller of the Senate, he fell to humanely nioralizing. Pasaing several “liveried” teams of spirit- ed horses, with their tails “banged’ (which is Hinglish don’tcher know,) and many with their winter coats shorn close to their shivering hides, while others had their eyes blinded by close hugging blind- ers and their heads “gagged” up to a ter- turing altitude by tight check-reins, he broke forth as follows: “If I were an auto- crat I’d have every, idiot who ‘banged’ his horse’s tails off in imitation of an old scrubbing broom, publicly executed; ev- ery man who was too lazy to rub his horse dry after sweating him in winter and so had him shorn, 1 would imprison for life ; every brute who used an over- draw gag-rein and tortured his beast by making him draw a. load and hold his head at an unnatural elevation at the same time, I’d give twenty years in the peni- tentiary; every man who let the blinds on his bridle hug close down on the poor horse’s orbs of sight, I’d give ten years at hard labor; every foolodriver who sat on his box, whip in hand, tormenting his team with constant cuts of the whip, I'd give twenty lashes on the bare back, after which, I think, the noblest servant God ever gave to man, might have some im- munity from wanton and unnecessary pain and misery, born of ignorance and vic10us customs. In England, where this fad of docking horses’ tails originated, there are no flies to torment them and the fashion is simply a folly, but in this coun- try, so depriving the horse of the only weapon its Creator has given it to defend itself from this species of torture, is sim- ply barbarous, as is the stripping of na- ture’s clothing from its body by our prac- tice of ‘clipping,’ and is setting our wis- dom above that of the Almighty, as if He did not know how to make a home.” The Senator says that a constituent of his in North Carolina, to whom he sent a copy of one of tliePatent Office annual reports, ‘spoke to him of the .occurrence in this way: “Gineral, I got them speeches of your’n, hilt I couldn’t read ’einfithrough Thar war aleetle too much Whig docterin into em.” MISCELLANEOUS. The Potomac Fruit Growers’ Literary Club that were entertained last Tuesday evening at the capacious home of Mrs. Dr. E. A. Barbour, 1008 I street, was at- tended by ovcr a hundred and proved a most enjoyable occasion. Dr. Hoflmaun, who has long been a resident among the Western Indian tribes and became famil- iar with the Ojibwa language and cus- toms, read an exceedingly interesting paper giving an account of the existence of a “Mystery Society” among the Ojib- was, wherein we lodge rooms, initiations, degrees, and the like, so nearly akin to the rites of ancient Masonry as to have little doubt that this branch of the Indian family sometime in the remote past, must have been familiar at least with its ritual and ceremonials. The initiation and degree ceremonials are so ancient that many words and phrases now used which have been handed dowu to them from past ages, have become meaningless, their signification being lost and unknown to the present Ojibwa. The paper was of the intensest interest to every Masonic brother present. Music, vocal and in- strumental, and recitations, filled the evening’s interesting and varied pro- gramme. In the latter exercise Miss Baibour recited with successful efiect a humorous and pathetic story in verse based on the experience of a New York newsboy. It has been a common experience here, for the past two or three weeks, to be awakened in the morning by the huckstcrsi cry of “Fine nice strawberries, twenty-five cents a quart.” They come from the vi- cinity of Charleston, S. 0., where gardeners in that region have experienced no winter to speak Of, and fruit of all kinds is very far advanced in consequence. Hitherto it has been thought remarkable for strawber- ries to be in the city markets by the 1st of March, and they have only been reserved for epicures and swell dinners prior to that time. “People who gindorse others for posi- tions say very strange things once in a while,” remarked a western Senator. “I received papers the other day urging the nomiuaiiah of a constituent of mine asa chaplain in the army, and one of the docu~ ments, after saying a number of nice things about the candidate and detailing his long service as a minister Of the gospel, wound up with the emphasized remark, ‘He is a man of good moral character.’ ” Dr. Edward M. Gallaudet, president of the Columbian Institution for Deaf and Dumb, has purchased the vacated church edifice Of the First Baptist Seeiety On Thirteenth street, and will fit it up for a general lecture and concert hall, which he thinks is very much needed here. It is 65x130 feet, and in honor of Maine’s great senator he has renamed it “Fessenden Hall.” PERSONALS. James P. Platt, son of the senator, is expected here from Meridcn to-morrow. Mrs. S. B. S. Bissell and Mrs. Charles C. Bctts, who have been visiting their sister Mrs. Ferry, return to Nor-walk Wednesday. They were at the meeting of the Washington City Presbytery, this morning, held at Dr. Kelley’s church, when the announcement was made by Rev. Dr. Childs of his withdrawal from the Presbyterian and transfer Of himself to the Episcopal church. To say that our Norwalk friends listened to Dr. Childs‘ letter with intense interest and surprise is to state the case very mildly. Rev. Dr.‘ Childs has been filling the pulpit of Rev.‘ Dr- Sunderland, (the first Presbyterian) the past few Sundays, owing to Dr. S.’s, absence in N. Y., at the bedside of a very: seriously and it is feared, fatally ill: daughter. _ John McGinley of New London, Wm.. Hale Herrick of New Haven, and C. L. Hovcy of Bridgeport, are here to-day. Secretary Tracy was at his desk at the Navy department to-day for the first time since his terrible calamity. The President expects to go to Pitts-i burg, Wednesday, to attend the opening of the million dollar free library given that? city by Andrew Carnegie. . Col. H. W. R. Hoyt, of Greenwich, has: gone down to Fort Monroe. Mr. and Mrs. Parker Mann gave a very, handsome reception Saturday evening, in‘ honor of Miss Bowers of New Haven. Bridgeport was vigorously represented ' l C“ here last week by Messrs. Williaij. Disbrow and George B. Edmonds of col- lectorship fame. Hon. Wm. D. Bishop and Wife are also here for a few weeks" sojourn, after which they expect to go further south. Ex-Congressman “Bob" Vance, of the New Britain Herald, has given up his position as Washington correspondent of the New York Sun and returned home with his bride. He will hereafter devote himself to his own paper and, to demo— cratic politics Hon. Jas. Gallagher, of New Haven, is here on a visit Of recreation and pleasure. Messrs. Teuny and Halsted, of NorwiCh, are here with their- wives, but will, in a few days, proceed down to Florida. . Mrs. Senator Hawley gave a select “tea” again last week at their elegant residence on I street. As ever, Tne Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes- tifiesz—“I can recommend Electric Bit- ters as the very best remedy. Every bot- tle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of rheumatism of 10 years’ standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellvillc, Ohio, afiiruis :—“The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years’ exper- ience, is Electic Bitters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit- ters do cure all diseases of the liver, kid- neys or blood.
