“Truth above all things.”
SATURDAY. APRIL 18, 1891.
{Entered at the Post Office as a Newspaper.]
Handicapping the “Parallel.”
The next hearing in New Haven on
“the lay-out of the New York, Bridge-
port and Eastern Railroad on Tuesday,
April 28, will be lively. The alrlermen
of New Haven have passed an order in-
structing Corporation Counsel Driscoll
to oppose the lay-out if it in any way
interferes with the city parks in the
western part of the city. They have
also directed him “to insist that before
'final approval of the proposed lay-out
is made by the railroad commissioners
:the New York, Bridgeport and East
.ern Railroad Company shall agree
with the other railroads that it will en-
"tor and leave New Haven by a union
depot that will be a convenience to our
citizens and a benefit to the growth and
pipsperity of the city of New Haven.”
H. B. Parr-ott, president of the road,
“was surprised by the action of the al-
dermen. He was not notified to appear
before the city’s committee to discuss
the union depot proposition and he had
not been in any way previously appris—
ed that there was any opposition to the
«location of the depot.
The New York Sun speaks thusly of
The President’s car-tail speeches:
* * * It is a pleasure to read
Them. Nothing short of the extreme
of partisan unfairness can find in the
little Pullman orations anything to rid-
icule or despise. Candor compels the
statement that at the tail end of the
‘Vacuna, surrounded by the hundreds
:and thousands of his fellow citizens,
who throng to inspect the wonders of
the Presidential train, and to gaze upon
the nation’s Chief Magistrate, Gen.
Harrison is at his very best. IVhether
prepared carefully in advance, or ex-
tcmporaneously excogitated, his occa-
sional remarks along the route have
been nearly faultless. Modest in tone,
flinteresting in matter, local in their ap-
Ii'Ilication while general in their charac-
zier, lively without being sensational.
moderate without being commonplace,
afull of ideas, consistent without being
:mcnotonous, excellently and often elo-
quently expressed, they deserve recog-
nit-ion by political friends and enemies
alike. as models of Pullman platform
oratory. It is as if Gen. Harrison had
embraced the present opportunity to ex-
liiibit himself and the capabilities of
his intellect to the people of the United
States in a new uLert‘C‘l}. Other Presi-
dents before him have tried the same
“experiment, in the same way. Few, if
any, of the navigators of the great po-
.iitical circle have succeeded so well as
Jinn, Harrison.

"Fer-the information of the GAZETTE
xiiidtin justice to Capt. Rose, we take
occasion to say that the story that first
appeared in the Hour, relating the
charges against Lieutenant Matheis,
was written, with the exception of the
concluding paragraph, in this office by
Mr. ‘vVade from memoranda which he
made of interviews with Sergeant Lat-.
:son and private Rile. Captain Rose
~.dld not give us any information what-
ever, beyond the fact that the charges
had been formally presented to him by
Sergeant Latson. As the charges were
presented on Thursday it is not surpris-
ing that Capt. Rose had them in his
possessmn the day before they appeared
.in the HOur, and the fact that the for-
.mal charges and the statement in the
\Hour were very much alike is simply
.proot that Sergeant Latson told the
same story twice, once in writing to his
captain and once in a conversation with
.the reporter.—Hour.
The DAILY GAZETTE does not charge
that the statement that appeared in the
Hour was not written by Mr. Wade,
but it does assert that Mr. Latson did
not write the statement that he gave to
his Captain. The DAILY GAZETTE also
asserts, that not only did Captain Rose
fivrite Mr. Latson’s statement, but he
sent the statement written by himself,
:and type written by Mr. Saunders, to
the Adjutant General as the statement
of both Latson and Rile, and that the
original statement now on file with the
Adjutant General was written by Capt.
Bose himself, before the Adjutant Gen-
eral ordered an investigation of the
charges and before the charges appear_
ed in public print.

A W onderful "’orkcr.
Mr. Frank Hufl'man, a young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been_u_nder the care of two prominent
.physmians, and used their treatment un-
gtil he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be Con-
sumption and incurable. He was per-
suaded to try Dr. King’s New Discov-
er for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds and at that time was not able to
walk across the street without resting.
He found before he had used half of a
dollar bottle, that he was much better;
.ilie continued to use it and is to-day en-
;goying good health. If ou have any

THE WOMAN’S COLUMN.
[Dorothy Stone PinneoJ
W'e are firmly inclined to the belief
that if a woman wishes to appear well
dressed at all times, the first points
which should command attention are
her hat, gloves and boots. If as some
one says, she is morally afi‘ected for the
better when she is conscious that'she is
appropriately and becomingly dressed,
it is also true that if these. important
items are attended to, the gown is of
less importance. It is a very pretty
fashion which makes it possible to have
all the appointments of one’s garb in
keeping, from the dainty boots of
colored sued, to the para-sol, and it is
more and more growing to be a necess-
ity that one‘s head gear should corres-
pond to the Color of one‘s dress. And
this matter of hats 1 There is no other
so vexatious to the woman with the
narrow income and no faculty in the
line of “fixing over” the delusive
things. However, we believe it is good
counsel to Spend enough on the bonnet
to ensure a becoming one, and econo-
mize upon other parts of the wardrobe,
if necessary. The vexation of spirit
which comes from wearing something
which has been a compromise between
one’s purse and one’s taste is enormous.
We have donned an offending bonnet
and broken most of the commandments
in spirit through a whole season in
consequence. It is a favorite fashion
for men to laugh at the stress we
women place upon such a matter and
to exclaim at the cost of such infinitesi-
mal things. They don’t seem to under-
stand that each one of these dainty
trifles should have an individuality all
its own, and be more or less “a crea-
tion” as the French would say. What
we pay for is more the brains put into
the conception, than the actual mater-
ials, as in the case in any other work of
of art.
It is often a matter of extra expense
to country folks in the neighborhood
of a great city that they must go to
town to find what is suitable and be-
coming, but we are favored in this re-
spect in Norwalk in having milliners
with perception and taste who study
the prevailing fashion and their custo-
mer’s pocket beck at the same time.
Miss Agnes Fitch’s opening display of
spring bonnets on Thursday gave con-
elusive proof that it is possible to suit
one’s self here. The window of her
show room on \V all street afl‘ords an
excellent opportunity for a good dis-
play, and was made doubly beautiful
by a gorgeous pot of marguerites ar-
ranged with the skill which marks all
the efforts of Mr. R. G. Hanford.
The variety of shapes is large, and
though, of course, it is probably true
as at all seaSOns, that they are not fair-
ly established, there is a general indi-
cation that the favorites are still the
toques, and the large, flaring,fiat hats,
fluted in front.
Jeweled and embroidered crowns and
big pins, and marquis rings are very
beautiful, but cannot be used for the
commoner hats as" they are all imported
and are expensive.
Yellow and gray combination are
much used, and among the new colors
are a pink, lavender, and yellow and a
sort of modification of magenta which
are all different in shade from anything
yet shown. This blending of tints is a
very curious and interesting study.
People seem to strive to invent new
shades and to find such, but it must be
a very young or beautiful face which is
daring enough to try some of them.
Feathers are put in the background
by the lovely new flowers. Among
these are bunches of laburnum,’ sprays
of lavender, gorgeous velvettulips, and
carnations, a bunch of light yellow-
green hops and the old favorite clover
and Chrysanthemums.
Aclose fitting toque is made of an ex-
quisite combination of very light and
dark golden brown. The jewelled
crown is of crepe de chine, and a knot
of velvet ribbon catches a pompon of
the same shade at the back. Chantilly
lace is still in vogue, and is made with
the Cleopatra asps, in especial designs
presumably brought out in honor of
the French actress who has played
CleOpatra here so successfully this win-
ter. There are also Cleopatra knots
and gimps, and one little gray hat has
a serpent of gold coiled ’round and
’round the crown.
A big flaring hat of Chantilly lace has
pink velvet morning glories directly on
the tOp. '
A gray straw fluted in front has a
heavy knot of ribbon of the same shade
passed through a heavy marquise ring,
and caught with yellow roses and their
green leaves at the back.
A round hat of two shades of green,
is made of very light crepe de chine
embroidered on the crown, and has a
little pink velvet bow and pompon.
O
A Lesson From Sunday’s Fire.
The fire of Sanday morning gave
evidence of a fact longknown to a. num-
ber of our citizens that the equipment
of our borough fire department was and
is not what it should be, and it must
also be added that the Court of Bur-
gesses, for a number of years past, have
been too lax in attending to this branch
of the public service. The department
is the poorest equipped of any in the
whole of New England, when a place of
Norwalk’s pretensions is taken into ac-
count. Sunday’s fire is not the first
instance on record. The fire on the
Woodbury place is not forgotten. Just
think that for over a year past there
has not been over a thousand feet of
hose fit for use. in the department, and
ask if such a state of affairs ought to
exist. On whom the blame ought to
rest we don’t know, but, as the chair-
man of the fire committee of the Court-
of Burgesses is an active member of
Phoenix Engine 00., it is certain that
he ought to be acquainted with these
facts, and ought to have taken steps to
have them remedied. The Chief En-
gineer’s report of last year spoke of
this state of affairs in unmistakable
terms, and certainly some cognizance
ought to have been taken of it. The
department is poorly ofi' in other things
beside hose. The borough ought to
have a new truck, as the present one is
out of date for this place. The longest
ladder is only thirty-six feet, and if a
fire should start in the top of some of
our high buildings, the firemen , would
be unable to reach the conflagration, as
even on the present truck there are no
splicers, with which to fasten the lad-
ders together. Besides this, since this.
truck was purchased, the borough has
been lighted with electricity, but the
department has had no insulated :cut-
ters and rubber gloves furnished them.
Should it become necessary at any fire
to cut a wire over which an electric
current was running, the firemen would
be in a very bad plight. A truck with
a fifty-five foot extension ladder ought
to be purchased, and all the modern
implements absolutely necessary, ought
to be placed thereon. In regard to
this sad state of affairs no blame can in
any way be attached to the firemen.
They work like beavers and never
utter a word of complaint. There is no
place in this country that can boast of
a better working department than this
borough has, and the least that can be
done is to give them material to work
with. The work done by them yester-
day morning is a proof of their worth,
and considering the difliculties under
which they labored by not having
enough material, it was a performance
that can rarely be equalled.
