D, did them- selves and the military service of the state an honor and a service, in elect- ing Major Doty to the captaincy. He has not only the experience and practi— cal education in military matters to make a first-class and most efiicient of- ficer to command the company, but he also possesses that latent and still more important quality—the true martial spirit, without which no man can be- come a really superior and conspicu- ously efficient commander. We most heartily congratulate Co. D, and the C. N. G' of the state on his selection. Now let Co. F, go and do likewise and redeem itself form its present piti- ful condition. Russian Relief Shipments. The Russian relief movement has been relieved of another embarrass- ment. Arrangements have been made in New York to warehouse fall ship- ments of grain that may be forwarded to that city from the West. The corn and wheat are the gift of a generous and sympathizing people, the t1 ans- portation by rail to the seaboard is furnished by the liberality of the rail- road companies, and now all consign- ments are to be stored on arrival free of cost. The next thing will be to provide for the shipment of these contributions by sea to Russia, and this problem will doubtless be satisfactorily solved at to- day’s meeting of the New York Cham— ber of Commerce,which has been Speci- ally called to consider the whole ques- ElOll. Honest Liquor Sellers. There are several places in the town of Norwalk where intoxicating liquors are sold without license. Their places are known to the residents of their localities; their unlawful selling is known by. reputation to the public,and the newspapers of the town have pub- lished their names and given their loca- tion. Why, then, are they allowed to. exist? Why are they not prosecuted as the law directs? The people of Norwalk are beginning to wonder what “pull” these illegal sellers have with the authorities that they are al- lowed to go unpunished. The law recognizes the selling of in- toxicating liquors as a beverage, and while many are opposed to its sale,they believe that the honest seller should be protected from these illegal vendors. Here in Norwalk we have a large num- ber who pay a license fee of $400 for the privilege of selling intoxicating liquors, and among this number are men who are honest in their observ- ance of the law. Their saloons are closed at the proper time ; their shades are up as the law directs; their saloons closed on Sunday, and no illegal sell- ing of liquor is allowed on their prem- ises. These saloon keepers are honest in their dealings with the law ; their money is invested in their business, and it is the duty of the authorities to protect their interests against the com- petition of these dens of iniquity, where liquor is not only openly sold to men, but to boys. Is it not about time the authorities made a move in this matter? Norwalk Insurance Company. It is now definitely reported that the Norwalk Fire Insurance Company has been wholly acquired by gentlemen in the interest of the London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Company of Liverpool, England. a large Foreign Corporation, doing a general business throughout this country and through- out the world, and whose assets in the United States are approximately two and one-half million dollars. The Lon- don & Lancashire Fire Insurance Com- pany have already placed upon the di— rectorate of the “Norwalk” 9. number of their own representatives, and it is understood and arranged that the com- pany is to be continued as a Connecti- cut Company and operated under a larger and more enterprising basis as an adjunct, and practically an Ameri- can ofl—shoot for the large British office Mr. George R. Cowles, so long and fav- ourably known as the Secretary of the "Norwalk.” will continue in this posi- tion, and the company will be operated and be known as a local institution hero in precisely the same manner as it has been conducted during the thirty-‘ two years of its existence. It is safe to prophecy, under this large and impor- tant backing, increased and steadily growing prosperity to our already suc- cessful and prominent local company. Pottery Company Organized. The Wannopce Pottery Company of New Milford has been organized to manufacture and sell pottery, china, porcelain and brick. The capital is “1500, in 300 shares of $25 each, and the incorporators are L. F. Curtis, 97 shares; S. S. Black, 97; M. Beach& Alon, 9‘6, and Thomas Davis, 10 shares. Fire in Branford. Wednesday, shortly before noon, fire broke out in the building in Branford where Jones 'Creem’s saloon was situ- ated and spread to the houses of Ed- ward Creegan and John McGrail. The building in which Hutchinson's dry goods store is situated caught fire. but was saved. The total loss was about $5,000. I A Generous Offer. Manager Bunnell has offered to the Bridgeport Wheel Club the full use of his Bridgeport opera house for an en- tertainment to raise funds for improv- ing portions near Bridgeport of the old King’s highway between New ork and Boston. Last summer, through his exertions, great improvements were made on theportion between Westport and Southport. All bicycle clubs be- tween the two great cities are interested in the project for improving the entire highway. If you had taken two of Carter’s Lit- tle Liver Pills before retiring you Would not have had that coated tongue or bad taste in the mouth this morning. Keep a vial with you for occasional use. Will Boycott the World’s Fair. The Executive Council of the Fede- ration of Labor recently held a secret - meeting in New York and decided that unless organized labor was recognized and certain grievances remedied by the World’s Fair authorities, all the unions afliliated with the Federation would be called upon to boycott the Expomtion. Complaints have been made that union men have been insulted and snubbed. by those having charge of the construc- tion of buildings for the World’s Fair. Hodges-Green. Francis E. Green and Miss Carrie E. Hodges, both of New Canaan, were married at the Methodist Church in that place Wednssday afternoon. Mr. Green is one of the most popular young men in New Canaan and in the after- noon the merchants of the town decor- ated all their store windows with green paper and several green flags were run up at the top of flagstafi's in honor of the occasion. Mr. Green was formerly a resident of Norwalk and some years ago was in the employ of Scofield Jr Hoyt. A A ¥ The Chicago committee of democrats to provide for the comingnational con- vention has abandoned all hope of se- curing the exposition building and yes- terday afternoon decided to build a Wigwam capable of seating 15,000 peo- ple, in which the convention will be held. A site on the lake front on which to erect the building will probably be secured. — -—-—-—————4- Colonel Frost’s: Staff. Colonel Russell Frost issued General orders No. 3, to-day, making the fol- lowing appointments on his commis- sibned stafl' : - Regimental Quartermaster, James K. Crofut, of Norwalk, with rank of First Lieutenant. Chaplain. Rev. Beverly E. Warner, of Bridgeport, commissioned as Chap- lain, without other rank. Inspector of Rifle Practice,Joseph D. Goulden, of Stamford, with rank of Captain. Regimental Surgeon, Dr. Charles C. Godfrey, of Bridgeport, with rank of Major. Assistant Surgeon, Dr. Wilbur S. W'atson. of Danbury, with rank of First Lieutenant. Paymaster. Edmund E. Crowe. of South Norwalk, with rank of First Lieu- tenant. . These appointments, together with that of Captain Charles W. Burpee, of Bridgeport, as Adjutant, completes the commissioned staff. There are six mem- bers of the non-commissioned staff which the Colonel will not appoint for some time yet. Peck & Snyder Will Retire. It was made public Wednesday'that the old sporting goods concern of Peck & Snyder will soon cease to exist. The report is that Mr. Peck will retire and that Mr. Snyder and J. W. Spald- ing, or the house of Spalding, will join issues and conduct the sporting Goods business in a big building on assau street. near Beekman. If this deal is consummated it will make the Spaldings control the entire sporting goods trade of America. Lit- tle over two years ago the Spalding concern absorbed A. J. Reach & Co. of Philadelphia, and the consolidation with Mr. Snyder and the retirement of Mr. Peck leaves only one opposing con- cern, and that a comparatively insignifi- cant one.

Privy Councilor and Minister Hubbenet has been peremptorily dismissed from the Russian cabinet by order of the czar for shielding corrupt and inefficient manage- ment of the railways. Emperor Francis Joseph is reluctant to sign the death warrants of Frank and Ro salie Schneider, who were recently convict- ed of murdering and robbing eight servant girls. The new tarifi has caused general dis- organization in the French import trade, and‘the authorities are overwhelmed with complaints. The Italian, Belgian and Swiss ministers stated that their governments would adopt retaliatory measures. Arguments were heard at Washington in favor of admitting Arizona and Oklahoma to statehood. It is promised that the bill providing an amendment to the federal constitution per- mitting the election of senators by direct vote will be reported to the house soon. The will of Mrs. Barnaby, for whose mur- der Dr. Graves was convicted, which was made in Chester, Pa... was admitted to pro- bate at Providence. There was no contest. The rebellion among the convicts at Deer island, near Boston, lasted three hours, but was quelled by the arrival of a. large force of policemen. ‘ When the body of Frances Burke, buried in Dunkirk, was exhumed, the casket was found to contain, besides the corpse, a. quan- tity of water sufficient to have drowned her.
