WESTPORT:
Post.master Palmer took a “day 011’”
on Saturday, for a trip to Danbury.
The attendance at the services in the
various churches Sunday, was small.
The addition to Mr. Herman Petrie’s
house, which he will occupy as a con-
fectionery and ice cream saloon, is
rapidly approaching completion.
Notwithstanding the severe storm
and the fact that the report had been
circulated that no meeting would be
held, a large number were on hand in
Sturges’ Hall on Saturday afternoon at
the time for which the meeting of the
residents in the fire district was called.
The meeting organized by appointing
O. I. Jones chairman. The question as
to the legality of the proceedings was
then raised, but a vote was then taken
~"to get the sense of those present, to re-
quest the selectmen to call a town
meeting to vote upon the question of
forming a fire district. This vote was
unanimously carried. It was evident
that a large majority of those present
were in favor of the project, and it is
likely that at the town meeting the
selectmen will be instructed to lay out
the fire district, as those outside will
not be taxed and if those who are to
pay for it desire it, they should be per-
mitted to have it.
The horse car did not wait for the
down train which was about four min—
utes late, on Saturday night, and those
who came from the east had the pleas-
ure of walking from the station.
Temple Lodge No. 65 F. and A. 31.,
was represented in the grand lodge at
New Haven this week by the three prin-
cipal Officers, \Vm. E. Albin, Willis S.
Lees and Dr. L. T. Day.
Mr. John T. \Vood will soon com-
mence work upon a new building
which will be located some little dis-
tance from his present factory, and will
be used in the manufacture of frames
for satchels, which Mr. \Vood has here-
tofore purchased already manufactur-
ed. This will necessitate the employ-
ment of quite a number of additional
hands. .
The exhibition at the Staples High
School one evening this week, of the
phonograph, was largely attended. all
being amazed at the working of the
wonderful mechanism.
Alarge number of invitations have
been issued for a ball in Sturges Hall
Thursday evening, to be given under
the auspices of the Buxom Orchestra,
and there is much speculation as to
who or what the Buxom Orchestra is.
It is presumed however, that the query
will be satisfactorily answered.
The meeting of the Young Peoples
Circle which was to have met with Mrs.
William Hart on Thursday evening,
was postponed owing to the unfavora-
ble weather.
The selectmen have issued a call for
a special town meeting to be held next
Saturday to take action upon locating
and establishing a fire district. Opin-
ion seems to be devided among those
who are to be within the limits some of
the largest tax payers not seeming to
favor the project to sach an extent as
some would desire.
NE I'V-OANAAN.
The Rev. Mr. Neide, of the Episco-
pal church, is slowly recovering from a
painful injury recently received. He
was drawing water from his well, and
a nail flew out and struck the pupil of
the eye. Dr. \Vilson, Of Bridgeport,
has made a careful examination and be-
lieves that there will be no permanent
impairment of the. sight.
Prof. N. K. Ferris organist of the
Congregational church, has resigned,
and will leave New Canaan on March
first. He has been employed by the
Methodist church, Norwalk, Dr. Van-
lstyne’s. Mr. Ferris will be a valua-
ble contribution to the musical circle
of our sister borough. He is an organ-
ist of many years experience, a musi-
cian above the average, and is very ae—
commodating. \Ve part with him re-
gretfully, and shall follow him with
earnest wishes for his success.
Invitations are out for a “Home Re-
ception” at Nichols’ Opera House Fri-
day evening, February 6th. Concert
at eight, march at nine O’clock. The
committee having the matter in hand is
the same as directed the New Year’s
eve party.
Prayer meetings have been held by
the Methodist and Baptist churches
this week.
The ice houses are packed full, and
everybody ought to have as much of
the luxury next summer as they may
wish, and cheap.
The Board of Trade has been orga-
nized and is in full swing, and will no
doubt contribute largely to the future
growth and prosperity of the town.
The Lyceum has decided that the
Press exerts a greater influence than
the pulpit.
Mr. George Avery has lost his large
parn, two calves and pigs, and valuable
agricultural implements and machine-
ry, besides a large quantity of hay. As
usual, the origin of the fire is a mys-
tery. A discharged farm hand was ar-
rested on suspicion, but the examina-
tion elicited no grounds for a trial, and
he was promptly released from custo-
dy.
A petition'numerously signed by our
best citizens will soon be laid before
the Postmaster-General, asking that

The Morgan minstrel.’ company
played to a large audience in Nichols’
Opera House on Tuesday evening.
‘ 'From Manger to Throne” is the
title of Dr,Talmadge’s life of the Christ.
A number of volumes have been receiv-
ed in this place. As everybody knows
Di: Talmadge has a style of his own,
and a very interesting style it is, He
has written this book evidently, in-
spired by the, atmosphere, scenery and
local peculiarities of that “Holy Land, ”
the feet of Jesus walked nearly nine-
teen hundred years ago. With such an
imagination as Dr. Talmadge possesses,
and with this material to feed it, it is
not strange that he should have written
such a charming book. Whenever I
go in my parish work, even into the
humblest houses in the back country,
it is frequently the case that some old
man or lady will say to me: “I want
to show you something that I think a
great deal of!” And a paper contain-
ing Dr. Talmadge’s sermon is brought
out, and then they tell me all about it,
and how it has helped and comforted
them. And thus is God using the
words of this mighty man, to teach his
people in the plainest, as well as in the
highest walks of life, And for all
classes, “From Manger to Throne” will
prove as interesting as the good (1 octor
has written. N0 better book ever came
to New Canaan.
Under the auspices of the Real Es-
tate Record of New Haven, a periodi-
cal has been published, and is in circu-
lation setting forth the advantages of
New Canaan as a place of business or
residence. The descriptive part is flat-
tering and flowery, for we are remind-
ed that “New Canaan” is the next place
to Heaven. Some of the pictures Of
dwellings, and public buildings are ex-.
cellent, and others, resemble their sub-
jects, as the mist resembles rain.
Mr. Edwin Hoyt, of Stephen Hoyt’s
Sons, has been in Hartford this week,
officially attending to the agricultural
interests of this state. No man is more
competent to direct us in such affairs.

and Mr. M. H. Platt, who have been
very sick with pneumonia, are improv-

Mr. L. W. Randle and Miss Belle

Last Saturday there was a severe

Mr. A. L. Gilbert, of Ridgefield,
who some time since applied for a li-
cense to sell liquor at the hotel at Red-
ding Station. did not appear before the
commissioners, as they had summoned
him, last Monday at Mr. J. H. Meek—
er’s. It seems that he had not received
his letter, which was directed to West

the remonstrance against his being
licensed, were on hand, but the ease

Royal Baking Powder
The ROYAL BAKING POWDER is made frOm Cream of
Tartar specially refined 3nd prepared for its use by
patent processes by which the Tartrate of Lime is
totally eliminated.
This highly important result has been attained only
with great care, labor and expense.
ln moneyelone
a half a million dollars has been invested in patents,
machinery and appliances by which the crude Cream of
Tartar, being procured direct from the wine districts of
Europe, and subjeéted in this country to these exclu-
sive processes, is rendered entirely free, not only from
the objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but from other
foreign substances.
This adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing
ROYAL BAKING POWDER; but, as all its other ingredi-
ents are selected and prepared with the same precise
care, and regardless of labor or expense, an article
is produced that is entirely free from any extraneous
substance, and pure in all respects. The ROYAL
contains no ingredients except those certified by the
most eminent chemists necessary to make a pure,

The subscriber is gaining facts pre-
paratory to a history of the town of
Wilton. The taskis quite a complicated
one, as the town was embraced in
Norwalk until 1802, and the records
mainly speak in their description of
Norwalk. In some few cases the par-
ish of Wilton is mentioned which are
ahelp to the historian. The soldiers
of the Revolution can only be separ-
ated as by family tradition and facts
relating to them through other sources.
We desire to trace the “British line”
as they passed through the town. The
whole roll of revolutionary, 1812—and
late war soldiers, we desire to. make
complete as possible, and any facts,
etc., relating to the town’s early his-
tory and above facts will be very
thankfully received, also old deeds,
tradition, (this sometimes lead to ad-
vantage, especially when we can get
nothing better), etc... Most families
remember hearing of their ancestors
trials in the Revolution if they were
there, establishing beyond question
the fact that they descended from par—
ents who did or did not serve for
liberty. Any information defining the
old road near Chas. Leforest’srlate

ceived. \Ve wish to establish the

THOSE H0 USATONIC EYCURSIONS.
The Housatonic Valley merchants
seem to have become needlessly alarm-
ed over the W. B. Hall & Co. excur-
sions run to this city on the Housatonic
road, the brain—in other words. they
are in a state Of rebellion against what
they consider intrusion on their field of
profits by the big merchants of Bridge-
port and New York. They object with
a big “0” to the Housatonic railroad
excursion trains as run by W. B. Hall
& Co. of Bridgeport, and they censure
the railroad for selling transportation
facilities to make it an object for resi-
mous request of the society for him to .
dents between Pittsfield and Bridge-
port to flock there by the hundreds for
bargains in sea lskin cloaks, fin silks
and velvets, elegant dress goods, 'etc.
These merchants who would fain aban-
don the telegraph and the steam car,
and restore the slow coach era of a
century ago, declare that their neigh-
bors should be compelled to pay village
prices, and that “the railroad company
is killing the goose that lays the golden
egg.” Surely, they will not undertake
to convince sane business people that
the freights of mercantile houses like
theirs are productive of golden eggs
enough to enrich a railroad company
like the Housatonic ? Without the
passenger traffic between Pittsfield and
the Park City, golden eggs would be
scarcer than hen’s teeth, we take it.
Now, if our country merchants up the
lovely Housatonic want to help them—
selves and in doing so, contribute gol-
den “hen fruit” to the nest of the
Housatonic road, let them encourage
manufacturing ' business along the
banks of their streams, as their parallel
valley of the Naugatuck has done. and
freights will be an item of vast concern,
while the storekee pers will have a hun-
dred customers at their doors where
they now have one, and need no longer
dread the excursion trains to W. B.
Hall & Co’s. great bargain house in
Bridgeport.
DREniiiPSORIASIs
Covering the Entire Body with \Vhite

by Cuticura. .
Scales.
My disease (psoriasis) first broke out on my
left cheek, spreading across my nose, and al-
most covering my face. It ran into my eyes,
and the physician was afraid I would lose my
eyesight altogether. It spread all over my
- read and my hair fell out. un-
, \ til I was entirely bald headed;
‘ ~ it then broke out on my arms
’ ’ and shoulders, until my arms
my entire bodv, my face. head
and shoulders eingthe worst.
The white scabs fell constant-
ly from my head shoulders
and arms; the skin would
thicken and be red and very
itchy. and would crack and
blood it scratched. After
spending many hundreds .of
dollars 1 was pronounced in-
curable. Iheard of the CUTI-
CUBA REMEDIES. and after using two bottles of
CurropuA RESOLVENT, I could see a. change;
and after I had taken four bottlesI was almost
cured; and when I had used six bottles of
CUTICUBA linsoLvnn'r, one box of CuricunA,
and one who of CUTICUBA SOAP. I was cured of
the dreadful disease from which I had suffered
for five years. I cannot express with a. pen
what 1 sufiered. before using the Remedies.

recommend them. My hair is restored as good
