MERCHANTS! I)" you. want to sell your goods, buy publicity in the DAILY GAZETTE, no paper in. town sells its advertising space so low. The Democrats in Danbury being in the ascendant, it looks as if the war- rant of Governor Bulkeley calling a special election for probate judge, would be ignored. Danbury” Demo- crats say they will notrecognize Bulke- ley as governor. The warrant for the election is to be served on the consta- bles and two of the three constables are Democrats. Mr. H. R. Hale and Mrs. Webster have been visiting at Mr. R. W. Post’s, in VVestport. Attorney J. Belden Hurlbutt,who has been confined to his house for the past few days is convalescent.

A euchre game of 1,000 points has just been played in Bridgeport by four East End residents, the two winners to pay for an oyster supper. The winners ‘ ‘sawed off” and now the one who won is waiting for the spread of bivalves. A horse owned by Stephen O’Brien “took a tumble” 1n the street car track yesterday, opposite Lawyer Hurlbutt’s residence and in a few minutes there. after was no more, or words to that effect. The insurance of the burned steamer City of Richmond, held in different companies in Hartford, was about $90,- 000.

From a letter to a Norwalk veteran soldier, under date of Sewanee, Tenn., Feb. 28th, written by the noted ex- Confederate general, E. Kirby Smith, we take the following: ,‘ ‘My ancestors on both sides are buried at Hartford, Litchfield and New Britain-”and; .I boast that there is not a drop of blood in my veins that is not of the purest New England stock.” The dog ownod by Robert- Douglass. and valued at $200, and the one owned, by Felix Quinn, which fought together early Sunday morning in a barn in Foxon for a purse of $100 and the su- premacy of Fair Haven, are dead. The Douglass dog died Tuesday night and Quinn’s a few hours after the fight. This was in New Haven, where the re- ligious atmosphere is so strict that you can‘t buy a quart of milk on a Sunday morning. In its report of the meeting of the Borough court the Hour says : “The chief refuses to appoint Riley, so at the last- meeting of the court a resolution was passed by a strict party vote, 4 to 2, changing the'by-law so that the ap- pointing power is takenfrom the chief engineer and vested in the court.” It was not a party vote. Burgess Bux- ton, rep.. voted aye with three demo- crats, while Burgess Vanderhoef, dem. voted no, with Burgess Kent for a col- league. Action of this character should be stripped of partisanship for obvious reasons. No ammonia 'in Cleveland’s Baking . Powder. The officers of the Lawn Tennis Club were made happy yesterday by the re- ceipt of a check for $125.00 enclosed in a very pleasant note from Mr. Robert Van Buren, saying he was heartily in favor of the proposed Casino on their grounds. and here, was something to show it, that he wished his wife, himself and his two boys made members of the Club. Here is a generous and public spirited man who takes a substantial way of showing appreciation of the'right kind of effort. Thirty new names have been sent in to be proposed for mem- bership. There is no kind of doubt that this will be socially a great success next summer. ____#__ The Georgie Melnotte’s Jockey Min- strels, which will appear at the Opera house on Monday evening, March 11th, are comprised of the best people in the vaudeville profession. Miss Melnotte, who heads the organization, has been well and favorably known for several seasons, and although she has been in retirement for three seasons past, she has lost none of her power, magnetism, chic or brilliancy, but on the contrary, has added to them an increasedperson- ality of charm and mannerism. Each and every act in the show is a feature in itself. They carry thirty—five people in their company and show them in R grand street parade on the afternoon of the show. _ ' —-Fine Shad at Farrington’s, 15 cents a pound, to-night. LITERARY NOTES. Amelie Rives Chanler has completed another novel, of which Richard Henry Stoddard, who has seen the manuscript, says, “The pruning knife will have to be used before the book is published. ” Grant Allen, a Canadian by birth, has won the prize of 1.000 pounds for the best novel, in the competition re- cently instituted by a member of Par- liament. Mr. Allen’s “What’s. Bred in the Bone,” was the story which won. Grant Allen’s last book published in this country is “The Great Taboo.” Francis Parkman, the historian, when recently asked to name the five .best books-published during the last ten years, answered: “As it has not been possible for me to keep the run of the publications for the last ten years, I feel incompetent to make a choice of the best five; I feel convinced, however, that the History of the United States, by Henry Adams, is entitled to a place among them.” This book is in the Norwalk Library. There are at present eight volumes published. Mr. ,Adams’ style is .very good, and the story of the administration of J effer- son, is thrilling, in the extreme. An entirely different idea of the great statesman’s character is derived from this book, rather than the one we have been in the habit of attributing to him after reading former histories. John Foord hasretired from the asso- ciate editorship of Harper’s Weekly, and .Mr. Curtis, in conducting that periodical, will be assisted by Richard Harding Davis, the son of Rebecca Harding Davis. Mr. Davis wrote “Gal. legher,” published in Scribner’s for August, which is one of the most thrill- ing short stories ever written, and “That Other Woman,” in the same publication for March, which is equally powerful, in its grasp of one of the present problems of social life. A story is going the rounds of the papers as to the cleverness shown by Mr. Davis on his arrival in New York a year or so ago. He was on his way to take a po- sition on the “Evening Sun” and while going through the city, was accoste i by two bunco men. , He affected entire innocence, and playedinto their hands, until he had gained sufficient evidence against them to turn them over tothe police, when ' h’b calmly went on his way, and made: 1‘ this the subject of his first article for "his journal. Mr. Davis has lived in Philadelphia, and at one time took up his abode amongaparty of burglars, in order to study their mode of life. Thisreminds us of one of Frank Stockton’s stories, of the young man who was caught burglarizing a house, and gave as his plea that he was a journalist studying, their ways, and of Charles Reade’s plan of personally in- vesting concerning what he wrote. The Chicago News says of the de- scription of the fight in the Soudau, in “The Light that Failedz” “It is a ver- itable Verestchagin, and Kipling is the only writer, alive or (lead, who could have written it.” This talented young author set up the type, printed and published his first book himself in In- dia, and there were five hundred copies sold. He‘must have been a mere boy at the time, as he is only twenty-five now. He expects to come to this country in the spring to enjoy a hunt-- ing trip in the West, before going back to India for the next four years. We believe he will never do such good work as when he is engaged in por- traying Indian life and manners, and are glad he is to make India his home for this time, at least. . - Edgar Fawcett has written for “Out- ing” a strange story, called “The Pink Sun,” which is a cleverly drawn sketch of what he thinks may prove the future of the colored race. A third edition- of the Rev. Howard MacQueary’s book, “TheEvolution of Man and Christianity,” is on the press- es, and over 16,000 copies of the book have been sold. This must show a phenomenal success for a theological book which has been out so short a time. I Death of Lyman Sarles, At the time of the fire, Christmas night, on the farm of O, D. Taylor, on Clapboard Ridge, Danbury, Lyman Sarles, a cripple, was working around as a farm hand, and his lantern explod- ed in the barn, setting it on fire. Mr. Sarles was badly burned, but would not ' receive the attentions of a physician, and consequently he has grown stead- ily worse, until his death, Wednesday morning. Mr. Sarles was 64- years old, and came from Patterson. N. Y. ; he had no rela- tives. . NELLI E McHENR I Concerning the theatrical star, who is soon to appear here, J D. Barry in the Boston Traveler, says: “At the Grand Opera House on Monday eve— ning, ‘Chain Lightning’ was produc- ed. It is a melodrama of Western gol mining life. Miss Nellie McHenry won much applause in the Six acharacters which ’she assumes. The piece is of a good-type,‘which never lacks support- ers, and it ‘is booked for a goOd rim.” ‘THL’ ELECTION MUDDLL‘. Sue the Dishonestmors. in Both Ciril and Criminal Suits, DEAR GAZETTE :—.—At our last state election avlarge number of our-citizens, men whose well kn0wn honesty and in- tegrity is not, nor can be questioned by any one. were deprived of one of the dearest and most valued of all the rightsguaranteed to them by our state constitution—a right of which they can their part of some criminal act-they were deprived of the. right of voting; and that by trusted oflicials Who were sworn to act fairly and impartially to allgfid to render honest judgment belief, not from the dictates of outside oath these’ moderators,~or a portiOn‘ of them'in our town, deliberately obeyed the mandates of a party cOmmittee and threw out on a mere quibble—a quibble which if left to their own honest- con- have entertained for a moment—threw out the votes cast by all Prohibitionists thus violating their oath to deal fairly, without fear or favor, with all, and in- sulting and vitally injuring a number of their fellow citizens and neighbors, citizens fully as intelligent as these honest (‘9) moderators and just as capa- ble of judging between right and wrong. _Now is there no remedy for such disgraceful. breaches of trust? I think there is. , Whfll'idon’t some one or more of the leaders’Jand moneyed men of the Pro- hibit-ion party who were thus cheated out of their votes, sue for their consti- temptible tools who so eagerly hasten- ed todo the vile deed be severely punished by disfranchising them and prohibiting them from ever hereafter holding any office of trust—they hav- ing so evidently shown their unfitness therefor. I would enter a series of suits as follows: 1. A suit to compel the counting of the votes east. 2. A suit—a criminal one—against the moderator for having disfranchised the votgrs. moderator for damages. , 4. ' A suit—a criminal one—against the moderator and the chairman cf the state democratic committee, for coN- SPIBACY—an attempt to destroy the pur- ity and efficiency of the secret ballot, by illegally interfering with and (led priving a citizen of his honest vote. We all have a right tovote and should be so thoroughly protected that no po- litical demagogue would ever dare by trick 0r quibble to attempt to deprive us of it. Yours in the cause of honor and right, E. B. J. Norwalk. March 6, 1891. KILLED THEMSELVES. One of the saddest of recent occur- rences, was the suicide Vl’ednesday morning, of two young Hebrew stu- dents, Isador H. Frauenthal, of St. Louis, and Ernst Sallinger, of Phila- delphia, at the Hebrew College in Cin- cinnati. They were exceptionally bright young men, and promised to be shining lights in the Jewish pulpit. The two had become interested in the 'Subject of hypnotism (or mesmerism) to such an extent that Frauenthal was continuously under Sallinger’s control, and they finally agreed to die together. Had they been older, and consequent- lyi wiser, they might have known that hypnotism has its uses, but the indis- criminate and intemperate tampering with its mysteries is not one of them. City of Norway: Band. Mr. P. H. Dwyer is in receipt of the instruments for his new City of Nor- walk Band. They are frOm the cele- brated manufactory of John F. Strat- ton, New York City, and are of the finest quality. The instruments consist of two E flat cornets, three B flat cornets, three altos, two tenors, one baritone, one E flat bass, one E flat double bass, one E flat clarinet, two B flat clarinets, one piccolo, one bass drum, one snare drum, and one pair of Turkish cymbals. They are on exhibition in the window of the Boston Store. Later the names of the citizens who have subscribed to- 'ward their purchase will be published. The 11-111; 1’ GAZETTE leads them all.

" That the Rev. Mr. Watkins is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Van Buren. That seats in Grace church will be as- signed to regular members, but not sold. That the Stamp Club met at Warden Keeler’s last evening,the entertainment being more elaborate than usual.

That having haunted auction sales in the art collection season at much ex~ pense of time though little of cash now these several years, “I feel moved to say with confidence, that my sex has quick eyes for a fan or a candlestick,or a bit of old blue and white, but it will not buy engravings, and when the auc- tioneer gets down to books, it leaves the room.

These bowls are afterwards dis— played on the centre table, sideboard or dining table for fruits, flowers, nuts, bonbons or a distillation of some sweet Incense. That there is small doubt as to how a majorlty of women of average good looks would answer the following ques- tion: Which would you rather be, reg- nant in the world of letters or art, or 'fted refiafly with a faultless beauty efore w 'ch all men must thrill ! It is more than likely that ninety homely women out of any hundred would in honesty prefer the power that goes with personal lovehness to that which goes with wealth. with the accident of lofty birth, or with the rarest intellectual dis- tinction. g A _ , CHURCH SERVICES.
