The Hour keeps on blubbering like a great overgrown lubber, who has lost his apple, because of the phenomenal success of the DAILY GAZETTE. What in the world has the modest little DAILY GAZETTE done .to the Hour that it. should constantly weep and wail and raise its bristles all over its'back ? —Dr. Howes’ Discovery is a great spring tonic. 1w60 And still the Hour is not happy. Now; it is not pleased with the way the Ancient Order of Hibernians conducted their St. Patrick’s day exercises at the Opera House. It must be that they were so inconsiderate as to overlook in some way, either in the advertising or printing the claims of the “Great American Porcupine,’ —or something. TOO bad. —Si-x weeks’ doctoring for $3 with a bottle of Dr. Howes’ Discovery. 1w60 A delegation of Kaba-osa encamp- ment, I. O. O.

Mrs. Dr. Mc- Gonegal has the management of the Cadets of Temperance, and has done very creditable work with them, in which she has been ably seconded by Miss Belle Doane.

Well, we are glad the poor, old lum. bering and mendacious Hour, has even so small an item as the above left to it, to get up on the fence and crow over.

Having mastered the minuet they were initiated into the mysteries of the German. . . That a handsome woman’s face is never half. so pretty and bewitchingas when, half revealed and half concealed, it smiles out behind a tiny mask‘df'l dotted tulle which the fair wearer will seriously assure you is worn as a meas ure of protection against the cruel winds of heaven or the merciless rays of the hot sun, but which you well know she wears with the deliberate purpose of making herself beautiful. That parasols are as indescribable as summer clouds and about as unsub- stantial. They are very large this year and have cloissonne handles, most- delicately enameled. That a hat in black and yellow is brilliantly popular. Black and rose is its nearest competitor. Silver and heliotrope is demure and lenten. gorgeousness, great simplicity and great daintiness. That jewelery and ornaments intro- duced into mourning now, are studies in blackened silver. That a great many society ladies use stone gray note paper, Stamped with gold and sealed with wax; the same Quaker color in which the monogram appears in gold. TROLLEY SYSTEM FOR SURFACE CARS.

Tickets for the Old Well H. and L. for surface cars into our borough. The parties interested claim that such a system is the cheapest, and seem tOI think that that alone must be consider- I ed when such lines of travel as East avenue, Belden avenue, etc., are pro posed. The company aim to secure even West avenue, after they once get 1 established here. Our beautiful bor- l ough has no great distances to reach A by surface railroads, and surely our 1 people will not remain silent under a' proposition to put upon us a system so ! "unwise, dangerous and unnecessary. 9 Do we want our streets and avenues lined with unsightly poles and dang crer- I one wires. 9 Boston has a history of the Trolley System that records many- deaths and alarming electrical sensa- ' tions; Meriden has tried the same system and pronounces against it : and now Albany records an electric disaster 1 that has startled the'whole country. ‘ The Argus of that city, March 10, 1891, Speaks of the terrible night,'March 9, and among other statements says : ‘ ‘The crossing of wires began about 10:45 and the first flashes appeared as a south I bound car on the Turnpike and Rail- ; way company’sline crossed State street. As the car stopped in front of the post- Ofiice, as is customary, a bright flame was seen burning up from the trolley. ; While this wait" in' progress flashes of blue lights were seen from various. points along the wires in that vicinity. . The flame at' the trolley soon died out, and the mOtorneer turned on the cur- ' rent. As the car started, flash after flash occurred with startling frequency and as it reached'State street crossing alive wire fell down in. front of the car, burst into flame and fell to the ground. The car again stopped, but the moment the current was again turned on brilliant fountains of flame issued from the joints of the rails. This began the magnificent and awful spec-- tacle which continued almost incessant- I 1y until the current was (turned 011' at I the railroad company’s power house.” I The description goes on with all the awful details of what the trolley wires did. Albany’s telephone service was i completely destroyed by fire; a horseI was killed, several men injured and the i whole city was panic- -stricken. Is it- not well for us to be thinking about what can be done to prevent the cheap system of surface car travel from being forced upon us. 9 The charter fer a streets is held by some of our best cit: izens, but they do not hesitate to Say that they are trying to get the trolley system, and, therefore, it is time for the people of Norwalk to be» alarmed and prepared ,to meet the question. There is no demand for this cheap and Board of Burgesses will take some ac- tion in this matter at once. TAXPAYER. NE lV-C'A NAAN.

He also read a letter and telegram frOm Mrs. Davis, saying that she would be pleased to come at some future time. AAA THE SEYMOUR BILL. [New Haven Journal and CourierJ Senator Seymour’s attempt to bring about a settlement of the squabble at Hartford appears to be an honest and well thought out one. His plan is to take the face of the returns as made up by the official canvassing board as prima facie evidence that the Demo- cratic State officers were elected, and to give them their seats. Provision is then made for a privileged suit before the courts, with General Merwin as plaintiff“, which shall decide all the points in the case, at issue. Provision is also made that Judge Morris. shall not take an unfair advantage of his power to make such appointments as are authorized by law to be made. It is also provided that if the Republican house agrees to this method of settle- ment, no appointments shall be nlade until the general assembly has finally acted 1n conformity with, the declaion , of thecourt, except such as both heuse‘s“ declare the public, interests require. This, like the Judson bill, is a well meaning measure. It makes, so far as we can see, little difference which is adopted. One of them ought to be,and if the democrats prefer the Seymour bill the republicans can afi'ord to let them have it. We. are in favor of any honest and reasonable plan that will bring the matter before the courts, where it should have been long ago, and we do not care whether the plan is called Republican or Democratic. - NOR WALK CLUB’S NE W B UILDING. The present‘indications are that the Norwalk Club will have a building worthy of the name. A DAILY GAzETTE representative called at the Office of Architect Randall, this morning and saw plans for the proposed new build- ing, the same which are to be submit- ted to the club's committee at their next meeting. A spacious entrance on the first floor leads to the club room, with large stores on either side. Arriv- ing at second floor there is a large hall,.at the end of which the billiard room is placed, with room for four tables. There are double parlors with sliding doors, library, reception, read- ing, smoking, dressing and toilet rooms, With ample closets for fuel, etc. The facade of the buildingis in the Moorish “style of architecture and made of orna- mental brick and copper, with tiles on the roof, of old Moorish? pattern. On ' the front of second story is a circular balcony pierced with many small arches of wood covered with copper, the bal- cony having a tile roof. The balcony will accommodate forty people. , An alternate design of the Romanesque style and somewhat plainer and less expensive but of neat design will also be presented from the same designer.

The genial and facetious “Jeems” Mitchell had a large and appreciative "audience at the Mills’ auction yester- day. Some Of the articles, which were as ancient as the auctioneer‘s jokes, One Milesian lady In her eagerness to secure some coveted article of vertu, was induced, by the persuasive “Jeems, ” to make three successive bids for it, with no contestants. If there is any place where there is a greater display of human nature to the square inch than at a country auction, we have failed to find it. Although Uncle Tom Dorney does not fancy being “chewed” by a bor- ough dog, he has still greater objection to being moved about, as reported variously on Thursday. One account placed him in Silver Mine and another as residing on the New Canaan road. Uncle Tom wants it tobe understood that the bell to his front “dure” rings in Broad River.
