A Boston Boy’s Eyesight
Saved—Perhaps His Life
.1
By Hood’s Sarsaparilla—Blood Poi-
soned by Canker.
Read the following from a grateful mother:
“ My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years
old, and it left him very weak and with blood
poisoned with canker. His eyes became
so inflamed that his sufferings were intense, and
for seven weeks he
Could Not Open His Eyes.
I took him twice during that time to the Eye
and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their
remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow
of good. I commenced giving him Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and it soon cured him. I have
never dogbted that it saved his sight, even
if no; “.19 very life. You may use this tes-
timonial in any way you choose. I am always
ready to sound the praise of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
because of the wonderful good it did my son.”

Want the McKinley Law.
The New England Tobacco Growers’
Association proposes to make a fight to
have the existing duty on tobacco re-
tained. The result of the duty imposed
by the McKinley law upon the foreign
product is a notable vindication of the
policy of that beneficent measure ,in
the minds of all Connecticut growers
of the weed. * The value of the tobacco
crop in the New England States in-
creased from $1,400,000 in 1889 to $6,-
000,000 in 1892. The revenue from im-
ported tobacco last year was $7,000,000
more than the average annual revenue
for the preceding'five years, thus ma-
terially increasing the income of the
federal Treasury, besides giving ample
protection to an industry engaging the
labor of several thousand farmers.
Murder and the Law. "
Is this a law abiding country, as we
sometimes boast? Statistics gathered
by a western paper show that there
were 6,792 murders committed in the
United States during 1892. There
were just 107 executions of murderers
by lawful proeess, and 236 lynchings
during the same year.
This seems to indicate that of every
hundred murderers only five were ade-
quately punished and that, of these
five, only two were punished by the
law, the other three being murdered
by mobs whose crime was identical
with that of their criminal victims.
For it must not be forgotten that ev—
ery lynching is a murder and that ev-
ery person taking part in one is a mur-
derer, unjustified by law or anything
else but his own sense of justice or re-
venge or hatred. ‘
i It seems to be true that “murder will
out,” for all these murders were discov-
ed. But how much good did that do,
when ninety-five out of every hundred
murderers escaped unhung ‘3
Fanny Kemble’s Death.
To most of the present generation
the name of Fanny Kemble is little
more thana tradition. She had sur-
vived not only her contemporaries
upon the stage, but the stage condi-
tions under which the name of Kemble
became famous. She had survived
also those political and Social condi-
tions in America, says the Philadelphia
Times. with which her own name was
associated and to which she had, in
early life, found it so hard to reconcile
herself.
Very much might be recalled in this
brilliant woman’s history, but it seems
more appropriate now to recall _only
the dignity and purity of her woman-
hood, the richness of ‘her intellectual
resources, and the force and earnest-
ness of her character.
It is difficult. at this distance of time,
to form 'a clear estimate of Fanny
Kemble’s gifts as an actress, though
her knowledge of the drama and her
skill in its interpretation are known to
those who remember her readings.
But as a woman, an actress in the great
drama of human life, it was her part to
make a strong impression in the intel-
lectualgliistory of this country and to
‘ leavexiallname that among educated
Ame _ Wfi‘éfimgng educated English-
men, will be long held in honor.

bitterness in his own party by reason of
WEEKLY - NORW'ALK - GAZETTE.
Orleans, in the intensity of his hatred
to slavery and treason, in the uncom-
promising directness of his opinions,
in his antagonism to whatever he con-‘
ceived to be false or fallacious in pub-
lic policy, in the fervor of his patriot
ism, in the depth of his sympathies
with humanity, albeit of somewhat rug-
ged and uncouth characteristics, he
was always a striking and forceful per-
sonality, for whom the American peo-
ple had great admiration, and whom
drift of his political beliefs, they would
have delighted to honor with the high-
est honors in their gift.
Unique and original in manner. and
methods, independent of will beyond
most men, incapable of pandering to
popular clamor, was nevertheless a
thorough American, a loyal lover of
his country, one of its bravest defend-
ers, and a citizen whose record will al—
ways occupy an honorable place in his-
tory.
He may have had faults, but he was.
not a man of pretenses. He may have
made mistakes, but the sincerity of his
motives was unimpeachable. He was
true to his principles, true to his gov-
ernment, true to his obligations, true
to his friends. What better epitaph
than this to inscribe upon his memorial
tablet ? Probably there was no Gener—
al in the army of whom and with whom
President Lincoln was socially more
fond and free.

Death of Fix—President Hayes.
Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes
died last Tuesday at his home in Fre-
mont, Ohio, of neuralgia of the heart.
When the war broke out Mr. Hayes was
a rising young lawyer of Cincinatti. He
at once set to work to organize the 23d
Ohio, and was mustered in as its Lieut.
Colonel, Gen. Win. S. Rosecrans being
the Colonel. To this noted regiment
also belonged Gov. McKinley and the
late supreme court judge Stanley
Matthews, Hayes soon became colo-
nel on the promotion of Rosecrans to
a generalship. He was brave. resolute,
self-sacrificing and modest and rapidly
rose to a Brigadiership and by brevet
to be a Major General.
After the war he resumed his law
practice in Cineinnatti,and was elected
to Congress for two or three terms.
He then served as Governor for two
terms, at the close of which he retired
to private life. But his party having
been defeated he led it to victory and
was elected Governor the third time.
This ' made him president in 1876.
The result was involved in doubt for a
time, but so soon as he became con-
vinced that he was really elected he
prosecuted his rights with a cool firm-
ness that won him respect everywhere.
' The 8 to 7 electoral contest, all re-
member. The democrats supposing
themselves sure of Judge Davis’vote,
urged the passage of the Electoral
Commission Bill, but Davis was elected
a senator and retired from the Supreme
court bench and Judge Bradley’s vote
gave the election to Hayes, and defeat-
ed Tildeu, to the chagrin of the democ-
racy. Few well informed and candid
men" ever doubted however but that
Hayes and Wheeler had honestly re-
ceived a majority of the electoral
votes.
Mr. Hayes engendered a feeling of
his futile attempts to conciliate the
south.
Since his retirement from the Presi-
dency he has lived a dignified private
life. He was active in his sympathies
and aid to the old soldiers and a prom-
inent member of the G. A. R. If not a
very great man, he lived and died a
pure and unostentatious christian
gentleman.
The Other Side.
Anent the inter esting Borough Clerk
controversy, which has so engaged the
public attention, it transpires that it is
not because of the apparent contradic—
tion between the Borough charter and
Borough by-law in regard to the meth-
od of electing this officer, as has been
generally suppos ed, but the contention.
is based on the peculiar wording of the
resolution by which the election of
Mr. Hubbell was presumed to have
been carried. The resolve which is in
possession of asst. clerk, E. M. Lock-
wood, is in these words :
“Resolved-«That James T. Hubbell
be and he hereby is appointed clerk of
the Court of Burgesses.”
Sec. 3, page 10 of the Borough char-
ter specifically says that the Clerk of
the “Borough,” shall be chosen by the
Burgesses, etc. So that the hair split-
ting falls on the words “Clerk of the
Court of. Burgesses.” which should
have read, the Contestants say, “Clerk
of the Borough." The intent to elect
Mr; Hubbell is clear enough and the
power to elect him by the ,method
adopted, seems to be admitted, but on
a legal technicality, Messrs. Hurlbutt
and Lockwood claim the board failed
to execute the powers conferred by the
charter by reason of the error in the
wording of the resolution. They fur-
ther assert that no “official” or legal”
notice has been served on them that
their successors have been appointed;
that they continue in possession of all
the books and records of the Borough.
appertaining to their clerkly duties and
that no demand has been made upon
them for a delivery of the same to any
other party, as clerk or otherwise.
This is the position Of the Old clerks as
statedto the GAZETTE, and it is plain to
see that from their standpoint there is
enough in it to hinge quite a lawyerly
contention. The broad, general prin-
ple involved, however, is not substan-
tially affected, or changed, that four is
ma'ority over three and can, as the
r, emocratic members of the Bor-
ought-board believe, they already have
,Messrs. Hubbell and Weed as
ghtZOlerk and Assistant Clerk.
