A Pertinent Inquiry.
New York Il'crld (Dem): In cutting oil"
the brads of 40,000 Democratic postmas-
ters and appointing Republicans in their
places Mr. Clarkson. who “retires from
office with his work all done,” has earned
for himself the title of lord high execu-
llti‘liel‘ of the administration.
This wholesale decapitation of non-p0-
litieal oiiicials for partisan reason is sub-
versive of every principle of civil service
reform, and is. a square violation ofthc
pledge in the Republican national plat-
Eu: Democratic c iticism of this whole-
sale application or . spoils system is
try." Lunatcly dulled by the. retort of the
lit, 3licans: How didso many Democrats
get into office? President Harrison and
his: pestofiice executioner, they remind us,
cannot well remove for partisan reasons
any oilicial who was not appointed for
partisan reasons.
This reply is somewhat- disconccrting to
a Democratic eivrl—scrvice reformer. It
was Grover Cleveland as President, and
his Lill'tl High Executioner Stevenson,
who supplied heads for the Republican
licadsinan. Mr. Cleveland entered upon
the Presidency a much more vociferous
civil—service reformer than General Harri-
son ever pretended to be. How can the
present administration be consistently
censured by the thick-and-thiu supporters
of the last administration?

llurr'ah for the Fourth of July and the
bal‘; game in the morning, between the
Waterbury association nine and the senior
club of our association, on the Baxter
Grounds, at 9 o‘clock. This game has
been arranged at quite a little expense and
our fellows should not be obliged to go
down in then'own pockets to meet it. Let
every member and every one else who en-
j we a garlic of ball so make their arrange-
ments that they can attend this game and
if you cannot go to the game you can buy
One t-f the tickets and thus help the boys
along. The admission is only 15 cents,
and every one should call upon the Gen-
eral Secretary and get some tickets either
for himself or to Sell.
The rooms will be open all day Friday
and it. is hoped every one will drop in for
a. few moments if nothing more during
the day.
The board of directors hold their regu-
lar monthly meeting this evening at 8
o‘clock, and as some are away at this
season of the year it is hOped that every
One who is in town will endeavor to be
present.
Next Sunday Dr. Van Alstync will dc—
liver an address at the song service and a
large number of the young men should be
out to hear him.

The successful Guessers.
John S. Seymour, of South Norwalk,
was the winner of the GAZETTE'S guessing
match, on the census of Norwalk, he being
the nearest, out of eighty-four guessers.
His guess was 17,777—not a remarkably
close guess, to be sure, being 677 out of
the way. Most of the guesses were far
above the official figures, the highest
being 19,679. Only fifteen guesscrs placed
their figures below the actual population,
the lowest being 15,011. The prize (the
GAZETTE for one year,) therefore goes to
Mr. Seymour. The next best guesser is
Miss Felicra A. VanTassell, of Ellenville,
N. Y., who receives a. year’s subscription
to the Record, her guess being 17,843. ,
Recent developments in Massachusetts
show that there is a great field for a com—
bine to regulate the price of state legisla-
tors. In buying up the Bay State legisla-
ture the lobbyists exhibited the most
barefaced discrimination.

The Facts in the Case.
Ens. GAZETTE:—Tlle unfortunate and
unjustifiable publicity affecting irreparably
the. good name of my wife prompts me, in
the interest; of justice and fair play, to
protest against the willingness of those
newspapers, claiming to be “molders of
public sentiment,” to lend their aid to
“molding” a sentiment, the inevitable
result of which is to blast irreparably the
reputation of any person without even a
superficial investigation of the case, which
so solemn and serious a matter demands.
The facts of tltc affair in question are
simply these z—The lady, who has been so
unjustly and outrageously held up to the
public View, is the innocent victim of un'
fortunate circumstances. She was ac-
quainted With the man recently shot at El-
mira. He was an occasional visitor at the
home of her husband, and also at her fath-
er’s,(l\lr. Bowregat theirexpress invitation.
At his every visit both families entertained
him, and by no word or act of his could
anything ever be construed to make him
anything else bill a perfect gentleman.
()n repeated occasmns hc alluded to his
amily and spoke very affectionately of his
wife and son, whose pictures be exhibited,
and to whom he claimed to have given a
full account of his visits to these homes in
Norwalk, saying he intended having his
wife and son board here if possible for a.
part of the summer season.
When he proposed an exchange of
photographs he was promised one from
each member of both families, but Mrs.
Cornell being the only one that had an
extra one, he was given that with prom-
ises of the rest, and he, in return, gave
Mr. Howe and myself each one of his,
which we both have at present. During
Mrs. Cornell’s sickness he called and could
not see her, and, before he 1'; t, he asked
permission of me to send some flowers to
her, saying we had been so kind to him
he would like to do something in return.
After Mrs. Cornell got better she sent a
note, which was read by her mother beJ
fore it was sent, thanking him for his
kindness to her while she was sick, and
signing her own name, as will be proven.
The alleged letters of affection, written by
a Norwalk woman signing her name
“Eva,” have notlung whatever to do with
this case, as the coroner told us all, that
Mrs. Cornell had done nothing she need
be ashamed of, and, under the circum-
stances, she could not have done dill'er-
ently, and that he had proven who the
“Eva" in question was, and that she was
a single woman who had been seen to go
out. walking with him ; that sltc worked
in a factory here and lived somewhere
near the “sand bank,” and that she thought
he was a single man.
And yet, without looking up the facts
of the case, certain reporters accepted
unauthentic gossip as sufficient grounds
for wantonly and outrageously placing
upon an innocent party a stigma which no
amount of retractions or explanations can
ever fully remove, giving nothought t0 the
absurd and unreasonable idea that she
could for one moment think of leaving a
happy home, parents, friends and an
honorable reputation, to marry a man
whom she knew to be married, and who
was old enough to be her father.
And I say, moreover, that if the same
thing could possibly happen again under
the same conditions,'{.I would not have
her do any different from what she has
already done, and that I would think
nonc- thcless of her for it. It has been a
dainty morsel for some of the scandal-
mongers whose own private lives would
make bttt a sorry showing if exposed to
the public gaze, and it may yet be another
case of “curses, like chickens, coming
home to roost,” to some of them.
H. D. CORNELL.

Adjutant-General Embler has sent to
the commanders of the several regiments
the following letter :—
Thc last General Assembly passed an
actauthorizingau encampment for eight
days instead of six as heretofore, but
made no appropriation to cover the extra
expenditure which an eight days’ tour of
duty would involve. It is the desire of
the commander-m-chicf to assemble the
brigade at Nlantic, Saturday afternoon,
August 16, for an eight days’ tour of duty,
furnishing the ration allowance of the two
extra days, provided officers and men will
consent to forego the per diem pay for
Saturday and Sunday, for which payment
no funds are available. You are author-
ized to acertain and report to this office
not later than July 5, whether or not the
members of your command will consent to
go into camp for eight days on the above
terms provided transportation is furnished
for them to leave their armories Saturday
afternoon, arriving at Niantic at a sea—
sonablc hour the same afternoon.

Word was rcCeived at Winsted, Monday
morning, of the death of William L.
Gilbert, at. Oshawa, Ont. Mr. Gilbert left
nis home about three weeks ago to go to
Canada on a business trip. He was taken
sick about a. week ago in Oshawa and did
not recover. By his death Winsted loses
one of her best: citizens. He was the
wealthiest man in the place and also the
most prominent. Mr. Gilbert was presi—
dent and founder of the W. L. Gilbert
Clock company, and was interested in
many business concerns. A short time
ago be subscribed $50,000 to a scheme by
which the factories of Winsted were to
have better water power facilities. The
scheme contemplated the tunneling of a
mountain. Mr. Gilbert was 80 years of
age and leaves an estate valued at $1,000,-
000.
Mr. Hemingway, the late State treas-
urer of Mississippi, for an embezzlement
of $300,000, gets five years in the peniten-
tiary. Ayoung man in New York has
been sentenced to a term of fourteen years
in the State’s prison for stealing fifteen
cents. Justice is badly blindfolded sure
enough. -
The Hillside Commencement.
'l'he commencement exercises at Hillside
on last Wednesday evening were notice-
able among the many pleasant entertain-
ments held in Norwalk during the past
season. The evening was perfect in point,
of weather, and, before the hour named,
carriages were seen, filled with the friends
of the school, rolling up the avenues about
Union Park into the beautiful grounds at
Hillside. The seminary building was
decorated with flowers and floating drap-
crics, the girls were charming in their
lovely costumes and the crowd of inter—
ested guests made a picture which will be
remembered by all who were present.
The exercises opened with an overture:
“The King of the Gnomes,” by Rollinson,
exquisitely rendered by tltc string quar-
tctte of the Wheeler 6: Wilson band, ttnder
the direction of Mr. John Dicfcnbach, of
Bridgeport. Miss Clara 11111 followed
with a graceful salutatory, delivered in
clear, fttll tones, and an able essay on
“The llighcr Education of Women.” Miss
Hill traced the need of equal intellectual
training for men and women of our land,
and showed how this need had found
expression in the establishment of Vassar
college, as the pioneer of female colleges,
and subsequently ol \Vellesley and of
Smith and other similar institutions.
Next on the programme was a pleasing
song by Miss Grace Bradley, of East
Ilavcn, Conn., who has been a short time
under Miss Willis’ instruction, entitled,
“The Little Mountain Lad,” by Rocckel.
Dr. Noble’s address was an eloquent
resume of the struggle for opportunity in
the early history of our country, giving to
Mount lIolyokc seminary and college a
glowing mced of praise as the creator of
enlightened public sentiment that made
not only the grand institutions such as
Oberlin, Cornell and other colleges for
men, that have opened their doors to
female students, a possibility, to say no-
thing of the magnificent colleges endowed
for the women by John Vassar, Mr.
Durant and Sophia Smith, but. such col-
lege preparatory schools as Hillside. Dr.
Noble closed with the expression of his
own conviction of the demands of the day
for a classical and scientific training that
shall tit women to enter wisely upon the
sphere that widens with the advance of
public thought in educational matters.
A bright little gavotte, suggestive of its
name, “Fascination,” was rendered by
the orchestra, and Miss Alice Norcross
mile to carry the audience back to one of
the old world cathedrals, in a word pic-
ture, as she discussul the subject of her
essay, “The Cathedral Builders,” and to
trace their work as a prophecy and a
revelation of tltc building of human char—
acter. The subject was well conceived
and originalin thought, and the unstudied
and simple vuledictory was followed by an
appropriate orchestral number, “To-night
We Say Farewell.”
In the presentation of diplomas Mrs.
Mead spoke of the scholarship required to
meet the school standards, of the high
ideals and achievements of the graduating
class, and gave the young ladies the
assurance of pleasant memories of their
educational work and of tropes for its
equal success in their respective colleges.
Anotltcr of Miss Willis’ pupils, Miss
May Rhodes, of Michigan, who has a con-
tralto voice of unusual promise, sang “The
New Kingdom.” The galop, “Cozctte,”
closed the formal programme of the even-
ing. Refreshments were served in the
large school room on the second story,
and the young people and their friends
enjoyed the music and dancmg that filled
the hours with pleasure and sent forth the
young graduates crowned with honors
and with fiowers to Wellcsley and to
Vassar.

bencfittcd by the new Pension Lav/w.
' M. L. BYINGTON,
Pension and Claim Attorney,
708 E. CAPITQI. Sldtf'f,
WASHINGTON,D. C.
With several years of experience in the claim business at
the National Capital, and beng thoroughly familiar with
methods of practice before the Pension Bureau, I am in a
position to render valuable aid to Soldiers and Sailors, their
widows and minor children, and dependent parents, who
avail themselves of my services.
The new law provides'a
pension for dependent parents at $12 per month, regardless
of their pecuniary circumstances at time of the death of their
son, provided he left neither widow or minor children.
,It also allows a pension of from $6 to $12 per month to
allwho served ninety days in the Military or Naval service
during the late war, who are by reason of physical or mental
disability unable to earn their support ,by manual labor.
Under this section of the law many who are now receiving
only $2 or $4 per month could easily obtain an increase.
Widows of those who served as above for a period of nine-
ty days or more, who are dependent upon their own labor for
support, will receive, upon submittance of proper evidence,
$8 per month, and $2 per month for each minor child under
sixteen (16) years of age, and this regardless of the fact
whether death was the result of army service or not.
N o fee is allowed me unless I am successful, and then the
fee is paid by the Pension Agent from the pension granted.
“First come first served” and applications should be early
made.
Correspondence invited. All letters will be promptly an— ,
swered. Please enclose stamps to cover return postage.
Remember that you can obtain better service at the hands
of an Attorney in Washington than from one who lives at a
distance.
