Frank Harvey’s new play, “The
, World Against Her,” will be presented
~"at the Opera House, next Thursday
evening, Jan. 29th. The Brooklyn
Eagle says of the play: '
“Frank Harvey’s new play ‘The
World Against Her,’ was produced for
the first time in Brooklyn last night at
thc Grand Opera House by Agnes Wal-
lace Villa, surported by a remarkably
well balanced company. The play of
the plot of which a sketch has already
been given, proved to be a. strong
melodrama of a much higher order of
merit than one is accustomed to find or
expect in pieces of its class. The story
is in itself of exciting interest, and. as
worked out in incident, situation, and
dialogue, appeals strongly to the com-
mon sympathies and excites the purest
emotions of human nature. The self-
sacrificing, fearless love of a mother
for her child, the sufferings of a
wronged and much injured wife, the
bright side of life among the poor con-
trasted with its hardships and gloomy
surroundings, the Christian kindness
: which the lowly extend to each other
and to those more destitute than them-
selves—these are all phrases of life
which are treated naturally and with
such simple power.”

Laughter and incessant applause
greeted 'the Frost & Fanshawe CO. at
the Opera House last evening when
the Country Postmaster was presented,
and a more natural homeJike picture
of rural life has never been seen here.
The comedy is full of catchy music,
witty dialogues and amusing situations.
The plot is strong and well carried out.
Fanshawe as a country urchin, who
falls asleep at every opportunity, was
natural and kiddish enough for aboy of

The regular battalion drill of compa-

ent were Col. Roberts and his military
school; Col. Skinner, of the Fourth
regiment; Major Cornell, of Bridge-
port; a Colonel of the Pennsyluania

Yesterday morning as H. D. Cornell
was stepping from the dock down on to
the gunwale of his sail boat in the
harbor in the rear of his residence on
his foot slipped .on the ice and with a
dull, sickening smash, he gave an imi-
tation. of a historical feat performed
by the late lamented Mr. D.‘ McGinty
and went to the bottom of the rough
and rushing stream. On emerging, be
cast a quick and eager glance in the
direction of the bridge to see if he was
observed, then crawled ashore, shook
himself, went home and soon- emerged
dressed in his dry suit of clothes.
The many Norwalk friendsof Edwin
Varney, the bright and successful

Each has a
handsome mustache; they are mistaken
for twins when they are together and
each is. often mistaken for the other
whenthey are apart. As Banker was
coming down Main street the other
day he met a bright little girl who ac-
costed him' as Mr. Siebold and re-
marked that she was “coming down to
his Shep next week with papa, to get
her hair cut.” Siebold, on the other
hand, “quite frequently handed sums-
.bf monpyz‘inistakingwhim for Banker,
from whom they‘had borroWed. These
frequent and natural mistakes have
caused them to :put their handsome
heads together and resolve to take
measures to look different, and in ac-
cordance with that agreement; after
the 30th of February next, Banker will
'wear a full beard and chew gum, and
Siebold will put on corsets and walk
with a limp.
Up in Bethe] the storm floods out
the hat shops again. At Baird’s shop
a portion of the foundation was swept
away, letting part of the floor, with
Pat. Elliott and two' heavy machines,
down into a deep and swift rushing
ditch. and but for the fact that the
machines fell in front of him and pre-
vented him from being carried down
stream, he would probably have met
his death under the long building be—
neath which the ditch runs, which was
swollen by the freshet so that it almost
touched the beams under the floor. Fif-
teen dozen hats, in process of manu-
facture, were carried off in the ditch,
and most of them were recovered in a
swamp a quarter of a mile away. At
Judd & Dunning’s shop the water rose
so rapidly during the forenoon that
the trimmers on the second floor had
to be carried out of the shop in the
arms of the men—which wasn’t such a
frightful tribulation, to be sure, but
had its ludicrous side, just the same,
as most of the rescuers are slim-built
men, and most of the rescued maids
and matrons stout, or positively fat
women.

ED. GAZETTE—Since my last com-
munication matters and things have
been going steadily along here until
the good people across the harbor made
the modest effort to swallow alive our
post office and postmaster, aided by a
few mugwumps that live in our midst.
Just who it was on our side of the har-
bor that encouraged this silly scheme
is not positively known, they having
been mum since such strong opposition
has shown itself against our being
taken in by the postmaster and others
of the city. If matters were left to the
people over there, our people would
soon We to ask their consent before
they could kiss their wives or sweet-
hearts. No, we don’t propose to give
up our post office, and all we ask is to
be let alone.- Hands off!
An application will be made to the next
congress for an appropriation to deepen
the channel leading to the tide mill,
to the depth of six feet at low water,
which could be done at a small cost.
This would be a great benefit to our
people who are so largely engaged in
the oyster business, and give us dock
room for lumber and coal yards.

The New York Tribune chronicles
the death, after terrible suffering, of a
Russian painter from having accident-
ally swallowed some ammonia in a glass
through a mistake of a druggist. This
accident conclusively shows that while
diluted ammonia may be used with
good effect in cleaning windows and
silver, it is totally unfit for, and dan-
gerous when introduced into, the
stomach. We feel, therefore, compelled
to call our readers’ attention again to
the fact that they should always fight
shy mf using any article of food con-
taining ammonia. In view of the fact
that many baking powders—some high
priced ones~contain this drug, ammo-
nia, every housekeeper should test the
baking powder she is using. A few
moments will settle the important ques-
tion of the purity of baking powder.
Housekeepers’ Test for Ammonia in
Baking Powder : Mix one spoonful of
the suspected baking powder with One
spoonful of water in a tin cup ;boil it a
few moments, stirring to prevent its
burning, and if ammonia is present you
can smell it in the rising steam. As
baking powder when first thrown into
the water will efi'ervesce do not mistake
bubbling for boiling.
A Sure Cure 1m" Diphtheria.
Dr. E. Quin Thornton, a recent grad—
ute of the Jefferson Medical College of
Philadelphia, have discovered what he
considers an absolute cure for diph-
theria. While treating a severe case
of this terrible disease some days ago
it occurred to the doctor that a solu-
tion of hydrogen peroxide would dis—
solve the diphtheritic membranes
and save his patient’s life. Accord-
ingly he sprayed the throat and nares
with the solution by means of an atom-
‘izer and was overjoyed at the instanta-
neous result. In a few moments after
the painless operation, the membrac-
nous growth, which produces death by
septic infection, was removed from the
diseased parts with ease, and the pa-
tient ralhed at once and is now on the
; road to rapid recovery.

acts, will sing his great song, entitled,
“Nellie, I Have Missed You.” His
costume, expressly designed by him-
self, will be a beauty, consisting of
a low-cut plug hat, a low-cut swallow-
tail coat, a low-cut white vest, a pair of
low-cut silk corduroy pants, and a. pair
of low-cut sheepskin rubbers. The
above song was the first one Jimmy _
