Sworn in.
Monday. was a day of “swearing
in” as well as “swearing off.’..’r. ' Shortly
before high noonthere assembled at
the Borough.court ,room several mem-
bers ofr-the old court of Burgesses and
all of the new court. ,Borough clerk
Hurlbutt was present and as the bell in
the “old town clock” was pealing out
the hour of twelve Warden Sloan stood
with uplifted right hand and took his
oath of office, the cl Ark acting in the
capacity of “administ ator.” '0 _
A like oath was taken by Burgesses
Squire, Buckley, Vogel, Chinery, Fil;
low and Glover. ' '
William E. Montgomery as Borough
treasurer, and Bernard Tully and ii.
M. Lockwood as inspectors of elections,
were also sworn in. . , ' j" v
Ex-Warden Kimm’ey then in the fol-
lowing words passed tnesilver mounted
gavel over to Warden Sloan : "Allow
me, Mr. Sloan to congratulate you. I
trust that you are as happy in going
into harness as I am to get out of it.”
Warden Sloan’s speech was confined
passed around a box 'of Havanas to. the
“old and new court’” _and the dis-
tinguished“ audience gathered to wit-
ness the interesting.ceremonies among
Sentinel. Contractor Conn’elly, the
chiefs of both the police and fire de-
partments, and Mayor McGinness of

If the new court lives up to their
oaths of office there cannot be a doubt
but' that the Borough affairs will're-
ceive strict attention and honest effort.

and wishes a Happy New Year to the

The Phoenix Dinner.
., Probably one of the finest dinners
ever givenby a Norwalk fire company
company" last "Monday. Covers: were
laid for seventytfive persons, and fully
one hundred enjoyed the hospitality of
the Phoenix boys. ; Tables. were laid the
full length .of the room ‘covered with
snow-,white spreads, and “fairly groan-
and salads of all kinds. .
It was an invitajion affair, and fortud‘
nate was he who had the requisite in-
Vite.
. The new and old court of burgesses,
the selectmen and other distinguished
persons were among the guests.,, The
leading spec hes were made by Chief
Engineer Pr Witt, Borough Clerk Hurl-
butt, Selectman Daskam, Burgess
Squire, and Capt Fred. Crofut of Dan-
bury. . The speeches abounded in wit
and pathos, that of Capt. Fred. Crofut
being a combination of both. ,
Among the guests were fire laddfes
from . Danbury and Meriden, and a
more gentlemanlylot of men it would
be hard to find. - ' '
After dinner an adjournment was tak-
en to the parlors of the company where
there was a feast, of music, vocal and
instrumental, and the festivities were
kept up until an early hour this morn-

. .A Good One on Pinneo.
The job printing for the annual Lawn
Tennis club’s ball was entrusted to our
genial friend, J. Arthur Pinneo. who
affects to be esthetic, and especially the
esthetic percentages in printing. ‘ Now
there are in the town that supports Pin-
neo’s own business, five different places'
where he could have had his orders of
dancing neatly, quickly and_ reasona-
bly printed, and at least two jo'bprint-
ing offices where the work would have
been done as well, and more cheaply,’ .
than in any place he could find in New
York—but he probably didn’t know
this—the knowledge of some people is
limited—and so the order for dancing
cards was sent down to New York by
Messenger Lockwood to‘be executed
there. On Saturday Lockwood called
for them but they were not finished.
Not being able. to call again he arrang:
ed to have them sent to him_ at the
Grand Central Depot, by specxal mes-
senger. a few moments' prior to his
train leaving for _»Norwalk_, but the
printing failed to connect With him at
the New York depot as arranged.
Thinking they musthavebeen sent di--
rect to Norwalk by Adams EXpress, as
he had at first advised J. Arthur to have
it done, Lockwood'took his train and in
due time reported here late Saturday
night, minus the Ball orders of danc-
cing. Well, to say that J. Arthur turned
scarlet to the roots of his hair, is stating
it mildly; still he hoped against fear,
that by Monday morning-they Would
turn up here by mail, by express or
somehow. Monday morning came with
its genial and glorious sunshine, but it
was all lost on Pinneo. He hied him
filter Lockwood and had him hasten to
Gotham and return on the first possi-
ble train with the derelict printing. In ,
vain Messenger Lockwood- protested
that all New York was 'zshut up and the. '
great city on a legalized holiday bend;
er. Go he must and go he_ did. and as
he expected, found the printing office
wood hied him then to the nearest drug
store, and consulted the directory to
find where this exasperating printer
might reside, determined. to chase him
to his lair, for, was not the ball to come
off that very night? But the elusive
jobber in ink was so inconsequential
that his name and residence had no
place in New York’s great directory.
So back home poor Lockwood wended
his weary way, in a mood by. no means
pleasant. He had lost his holiday,
missed his New Year’s dinner with his
family and, most exasperating of ,all,
had rushed to the train under the lush
of J. Arthur’s imperative commands, in
his Sund-av clothes, and left his com-
mutation ticket at home in his every-
,day suit and had been forced to pay his
full single trip fares down and up, to
his utter disgust and loss of temper.
He reached Norwalk late Monday af-
ternoon. The tennis ’show was to 'come
off in a few brief hours at the great Ar-
mory enclosure and no programmes and
orders of dancing printed! *Here was
afix. But J. Arthur thinks quick—
when forced to—and' he then rushed af-
ter one and then another of the Hour
office force,—its printers were sent for
and double-quicked to the job room
and the type was soon set, the form
dumped on the press and the orders
went flying-from its paper-devouring
mawlike snowflakes in a squall, but,
sadly for ‘Pinneo, at holiday, double
rates for the labor. The “thing was
did,” however, and the agony over.
The three days’ fearful perspiration be-
gan to dry on J. Arthur’s broad and ex-
pansive brow, extending as it does from
eyebrows to the nape of the neck. Had
his better angel of good gense_,;nade
one (3‘ Use “few and far-between”
visits to his cranium and at the outset
suggested taking his printing to the
Hour office, he would have saved
several dollars in cash land himself
the narrowest escape of his’life from
mental paralysis and physical nervous
prostration. But it is not every book-
seller and dispenser of cards and slate
pencils, any more than other people,
who can always “ be wise in time ” and
thus save the resulting vexations sure
to follow upon egregious blundering.
Thus much by way of the “ joke ” over
which all the town is roaring in deri-
sive laughter. But is there 'not a seri-
ous side to the misfit exploit? Con-
nected with the five printing offices
here, that could have satisfactorily
printed his orders, where Mr. Pinneo
lives and tries to do business, there
must be all told, not less than one
hundred persons. How would he
fare should- all these people adopt
Mr. Pinneo’s code of business‘mrinci-
pies and conduct, and whenever they de-
sired tO purchase a book, cards or sta-
tionery, should boycott the Pinneo
store and Send by messengers to New
York for all such supplies, and worse
even than that,as we are told,should fol-
to have their printing done in Norwalk
offices ? Should this example, thus
thoughtlessly set by Mr. Pinneo, as we
would fain believe, he followed, how
soon would it be before a- red flag and
the shutters would be put up in front
of his pretty little store? N o, no. young
friend, “ support your own ;” your
own town’s merchants and mechanics
and citizens, in all the requirements of
our daily life is the wisest philosophy
and the best business morals. Try it,
and test it for yourself, young friend.
and you will never regret the change in
your suicidal course. And’not to Mr.
Pinneo alone, but to every other citi-
zen of Norwalk who thus inconsiderate-
ly acts, but desires to prosper himself
and see his town prosper and» business
boom and our tradesmen thrive, we say,

Greenwich. During a brief absence of
the mail carrier, a man named Kane
grabbed one -of the pouches that. had
been thrown off at the station and
started 'away with it. The mail car-

Can it beVTrue?
A complaint of a very serious nature
has been filed in the GAZETTE reporter’s
den. It is in substance that there is a
club room in close proximity to the
“drug store ” on Franklin avenue
where lads from sixteen to twenty years
of age congregate and indulge in intox-
icants until they become inebriated.
The' communication goes on to state
that withina few nights as many as
four kegs of lager have been disposed
of, and that one young man scarce fif-
teen years of age was brought home in
a helpless state of intoxication. “ Why
is it that the law is not enforced ? ” asks
our informant. Can you answer ?.

ry messages to the Y. M. C. A. rooms in
the cities through which they pass.
The stages will be five miles for each
