A Good Move.
A movement has been started to les-
sen the extravagance of funerals. We
are in full accord with one of our ex.
changes when it says that funerals
ought to be conducted simply, plainly.
and without pomp or display. Grief
should not be be ostentatious. Sincere
respect for the dead is not shown by
parade. The simpler the obsequies the
better the taste.
Suspended.

suspended. The editor. Rev. Dr. Mar-
tin, published an editorial recently de-
nouncing the Home Rule in Ireland.

“A Little Bit Queer.”
The action of the Fairfield county
representatives in nominating Michael
J; Houlihan, of Newtown, for county
commissioner, seems to most men a lit-
tle bit queer. Mr. Houlihan is a liquor
dealer, having a barroom in his hotel.
If he is to be one of the three men who
are to decide upon the fitness of appli-
cants for liquor licenses it were better
that he dropped the business. While
he may be perfectly fair and honest in
his conduct of the Office of county com-
missioner, the great body of temper-
ance people would be better satisfied if
his place was occupied by some one in
no way connected with the business.—

Wasa Memberof the House in 1848.
Capt. Burling D. Purdy of New Ca-
naan, doorkceper. in the Senate Cham-
ber at Hartford, is in his 78th year,
and was first elected a member of the
House in 1848. The next oldest ex-
member, as far as can be ascertained,
was elected in 1853. Mr. Purdywah
obliged in those days to drive to Nor-
walk and take a slow going and lum-
bering stage to New Haven. The Leg-
islature remained in session for two
weeks at a time and then adjourned for
one week. when the members returned
home. The whole business of the state
was transacted in about six weeks.
The salary in 1848 was $98.98, and the
members were obliged to pay their
own traveling expenses. -Stamford Ad-
vocate. .

Cold weather and the Poor.
Selectman A. P. Toms went to Nor-
walk a few days ago to see how severe
weather and disease had affected the
expenditures for the poor. He found
an excess over last year of about $1,200,
and told a reporter that in Stamford
nearly the same amount had been ex-
pended. The selectmen are constantly
appealed to for aid and the most piti-
ful' stories are poured into their ears.
They give orders on the coal-dealers
for the quanity which, in their opinion,
the applicant needs. Coal is paid for
Rf the town at the regular retail prices.
r. Toms believes in the idea of- a.
children’s home, but thinks it should
be supported by the churches, or, if by
the town, the churches ought to com-
bine and build an “old women’s home.”

A Game of Bluff.
A couple of Norwalk “dead game
. sp‘ortS” visited Stamford, says the Ad-
vocate, last Monday with the intention
of wagering a few thousand dollars
upon the result of next Thursday’s
championship race. They visrted sev-
eral saloons and, after imbibing quite
freely..became boisterous in the ex-
pression of their desire to bet the
Stamford people to a “standstill”—and
they would take either the Donohue or
Franklin end of it at that. The Nor-
walk voung men met with no mishap
and were succeeding admirably with
their little game of bluff, until they
came in contact with a young man who
beat them at their own game.
After doing justice to two of the
largest glasses of mixed ale the saloon
could afford for five cents apiece, one
of the Norwalkers arranged himself in
the center of the floor and in aloud,
tough voice, announced to those pres-
cut that :
"Me and me friend has a couple of
t’ousand quids we want to place on the
skating race, see ! Now if any of you?se
gents wants any part of it here’s you’re
chance.”
The young man had scarCely ceased
speaking, when one of Stamford’s
youngest musicians stepped forward
and, with much ceremony, proceeded
to take a large red wallet from his in-
side pocket. Very quietly he said :
:‘Now, gentlemen, I’ve been chasing
this town over for the past few days en-
deavori'n to get a few bets upon Mr.
Ennis. ' have only succeeded in plac-
ing about five hundred so far. I’ll

The Norwalk men were nonplussed,
and, after making a few simple ex-
cuses for not wanting to wager their
money, they hurriedly left the place.

that the Stamford man’s capital

keys, he was made the lion of the even-

‘ The Judgeshlp Fights.
The pending judicial appointments
mostly absorbed attention in the legis-
lative circles :Tuesday. After the
House had been‘ in session a half an
hour it adjourned so that a coucus of
the Republican members of both
branches might be held for the pur-
pose of deliberating on the nomination
of Judge Fenn and Prof. S. E. Bald-
win, to the Supreme court bench.
hostility to the latter on the part of
his fellow lawyers :of New Haven.
Against Judge Fenn the opposition
amounts to little. _
The Republicans in caucus reached
the conclusion that they would take no
hand in the controversy at present.
They took the ground that inasmuch
as a democratic governor made the
nomination the members of that party
should settle among themselves any
such difficulties as may have aris-
en. Whether they will be as consider-
ate as this should there really be a
chance to get up a conflict is very
doubtful. .
Opposition apparently more nOisy
than weighty has developed to the con-
firmation of James E. Walsh as judge
of the Danbury City court. Colonel
Bliss, a prominent Democrat and pro-
prietor of the Wooster and Turner ho-
tels in that city, was in Hartford doing
his utmost to shut out Walsh. He has
as a helper Judge Hough, the present
incumbent and a Republican who seeks
to take advantage of the situation ‘to
keep himself in office. ,
Says the Farmer : It has been learn-
ed that Col. Bliss went to Senator Fer-
ris of Norwalk, who is a Republican,
and tried to enlist his help to prevent
the nomination of Mr. Walsh and cer-
tain others who were chosen by the
conference committees representin g the
twoparties in the Legislature. Sena-
tor Ferris declined to become a party
to any such plot. He said the men
named for the court positions hadbeen
fairly chosen and that it would be a
party to repudiate the agreement. He
was cruel enough ‘to‘ add that as the
Democrats carried Danbury by 500 or
600 majority last fall, it was only fair
that they should have the local Judge-
ship. The present arrangement for
Danbury is that Deputy Jud 9 Scot-
shall be the next prosecutor. be ob-
jection to Mr. Walsh appears to be
largely personal, as he received a una-
nimous vote in caucus. _
John H. Perry, of Southpmt, judge
of the Fairfield county civil Common
Pleas court and author of the famous
phrase regarding “ recent importa-
tions,” also has I. finger in the me. He
evidently realizes that it would be
hopeless for him to attempt to hold his
place, but he has the efirontery to en-
deavor to dictate what shall be done.
His plan is that Judge Walsh shall be
transferred to the civil Common Pleas
from the criminal Common Pleas. He
says he doesn’t object to having a Dem-
ocrat succeed Judge Walsh in .the
criminal court, but is evidently anxious
that the man shall not be Howard J.
Curtis who has been chosen for the
civil side judgeship. ‘ , ,
It looks now as if the combination of
forces, who from various motives are
trying to prevent consummation of the
work which the conference committees
not- succeed. Most

of the situation as does Senator Ferns

A Change.
The Boston and Washington express
which for 17 years has been running
between these points by way of ,the
Consolidated and New York & New
England railroads, is within a short
time to run by a new route, Instead
of running by way of the Hartford
and the .New York & New England
road it Will run by way of New Haven
and the Shore inc and Providence
diViSions of the Consolidated road.
.The officials of the latter road have
given out that the change is for econ-
011110 reasonsionly and that by the new
route they Will have a longer haul over
their own system and will save for
themselves the fare for about 97 miles
for each passenger. This would ordin-
arily be accepted as a good reason, in
fact a particularly good reason if the
Consolidated company had urged it at a
different time. But in view of recent
happenings there are those who find‘in
the move an entirely different motive.

With a twenty foot handle, and an axe,
he goes onto the ice in the harbor near

three eels at a jab from their beds. A
varied assortment of “bric-a-brac” is
also brought to the surface with the
spear, consisting of old boots, shoes,
rubbers, etc. Saturday, the spear
caught onto something which as it was
brought to the surface was believed by
the onlookers to bethe grandfather of
eels. It writhed and wriggled on the
spear, and it was feared that it would
escape but Hendricks is a dexterous
fisherman and he succeeded in landing
it ou_the ice. He evidently felt as dis-
appomted and disgusted as the crowd,
when it was found to be a section of

For several weeks 'past rumors have
been rife to the effect that the Consol-
idated road would soon'have control of
the New England or the Old‘ Colony
road. . Saturday it was reported that
the road had changed hands.
The story had its origin in a meeting
of railroad magnates at Parker’s in
Boston, on Friday, at which were pres-
ent President Clark of the Consolida-
ted road, and Vice-Presidents Tuttle,
and Mellen. As the story goes,,the Con-
solidated wants either the New Eng-
land or the Old Colony; A few days
ago if Dame Rumor is correct, the con-
trol of the _New England was ofi‘ered
the Consolidated .people at a figure
closely approximating $75 per share on
the 820,000,000 of common stock out-
standing. Precident Clark is reported
to have said repeatedly that the Con-‘
golidated would take the New England
or it
which majority are said to lie in New
Haven strong boxes, and once admitted
that they might take it and give some~
thing for the preferred stock.
In case the Consolidated ‘road de-
clines the New England, the Old Colo-
ny is open to them, and gossip on the
latter (is to the effect that a deal is
near. The railroad men . mentioned
would not acknowledge. definitely that
they were in Boston on business which
would interest the public,-but the im-
firession at the Hub was that somtehing'
' lghly important wasin the mud.
