An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of
the town of Norwalk, and is intended
to embrace a complete list of the busi-
ness and professional men, showing
what facilities we have to ofi'er to man-
ufacturing and other industries to lo-
‘cate in Norwalk. This issue will give
unusual advantages to our business
men to widely circulate their interests.
An authorized agent for the GAZETTE
will call on the business and profession-
al men, and we feel confident they will
give the enterprise their hearty support._
Sad Blot on 51 Noble Life.
Mr. Ferdinand de Lesseps, called
“ The Grand Frenchman,” is convicted
and sentenced to prison for five years
and to pay a fine of 3,000 francs. His
son Charles receives the same sentence.
The man who is thus dragged down
from the pinnacle of fame to a prison
cell undertook to carry forward a stu-
pendous undertaking, even greater than
the Suez Canal, and fell a victim to the
crime of bribery. At least, this is the
finding of the court. There will be
much sympathy for the elder De Les-
-seps, not only in France, but wherever
the value of his gTBat achievements is
recognized, and the hope is influen-
tially entertained-that he will be par-
doned by the French Government.
Silver Coinag'e Defeated.
Yesterday in the House the’bill to re-
peal the Sherman silver coinage bill
~ was defeated. The New York World
with unusual frankness says that the
responsibility for this defeat rests upon
' the Democrats. They have control of
the House by an overwhelming majori-
ty. More than half of them have by
this vote repudiated one of the pledges
made by the party in its national plat-
form. Either the platform did not rep-
resent the convictions of the Democra-
cy on this subject, or these men, repre-
senting Democratic constituencies, are
not Democrats. . '
’_ This result will probably render nec-
essary an early extra session. The re-
peal of this Sherman law is too press-
ingly necessary to brook long delay.

Crusade Against Kissing.
While yet the cholera horror haunts
' us and the reappearance of crinoline
alarmingly confronts us and bacteria
bacillus terrify, we are now brought
" up all standing with the death that
lurks in every osculation.
Dr. C. O. Probst, Secretary of the
Ohio state Board of Health, the other
day appeared before the Pastors’
Union, of Sandusky city, to urge their
co-operation in two sanitary reforms.
One is to stop the custom of indiscrim-
inate kissing and the other to abolish
the use of the same cup in the admin-
istration of the sacrament by several
hundred persons. Dr. Probst explain-
ed that the most certain and most dan-
gerous transmissign of the germs of
disease is by this mouth-to-mouth
method. He cited the almost univer-
sal habit among ladies of kissing
«friends on greeting them or bidding
them good-by, of kissing babies and
children and urging babies and chil-
dren to kiss each other.
Pastors, too, usually consider it a
' . part of their duty to kiss the babies of
.1 their parishioners. All this was well
,meant, but it was dangerous. He
quoted Moses as a .sanitarian on this
subject, and said the great lawgiver
would not have tolerated either the
kissing or the common cup custom
' in the sacramental administration.
The clergymen ask for some practical
suggestions as to how to obviate the
danger painted out in the communion
service. Several were given, but the
one considered practical was that each
communicant have his own .cup. A
resolution to do all possible to bring
about these reforms was adopted.
1' The Sun thus comes to the rescue of
’ the imperilled kissing customs of refin-
bd society and sayszthat the meeting of
the lips has always been with our race
the universal and natural and spontan-
eous expression of the most . tender.
heufiment.
Now sanitary science pushes itself
forward to degrade the kiss to the
level-of.sewer gas and the many agen-
cies by which noxious and infectious
diseases is propagated. It is demand-
ing the abolition of the practice as a
remnant of barbarous ignorance. of the
laws of health. It would subordinate
romantic sentiment to cautious pru-
dence and forbid the lover'to embrace
his sweetheart. even as a seal of their
betrothal, until they are able to pro-
duce medical certificates that they are
free from the transmissible germs of
disease.
‘(
..ents, under the instruction of their
'1 physicians, have guarded their young
children jealously. against the indis-
‘criminate kissing which was once in
”910,10“ those poisonous germs be
transmitted to the babies. It is a 1‘98:
\
1'74
For several years past prudent par. -
i
sonable precaution, for undoubtedly
the danger exists, and as the germ
theory of disease is more generally ac-
cepted, peril of such cdntact is appre:
ciated the more intelligently. If, then
there is a serious risk for children in
careless kissing, say the preachers of
sanitary science, it is a risk which older
people must avoid also. Even the
cherry red and pouting lips of beauty
may convey material poison along
with the rapture of love they express
so romantically. The most ardent man-
festation of masculine devotion may
be the means of planting the seeds of
disease, which will bring forth a fruit-
ful crop of maladies sent down through
generations. So says SClI-‘DCE.
Thus cold and prudential science is
invading the realm of tender and ro-
mantic, poetic and religious sentiment,~
and destroying as" a pest house the very
temple in which the love of all ages
has offered up its worship. It is an ap-
palling revolution.”

County Commissioners’ Accounts.
The newly appointed auditors on the
accounts of County commissioners will
have double duty to perform this
coming term as they will not only have
to examine the books of the different
boards for the two years to come but
also for the two years just passed.
When the new auditors were appomt-
ed no provision was made that they
should audit the back business. County
Commissioner Johnson noted this and
to prevent any adverse criticism he
drafted an act, which was passed yester-
day, giving the auditors power to ex-
amine the back'books.
At the present time matters in the
County commiss ners’ office are at a
standstill, Mr. Mead, the only com-
missioner whose time has not expired,
being unable to conduct. any business
single-handed. While the failure to
appoint commissioners will delay the
business of the office some, it causes no
serious inconvenience.

Don’t Want Their Poles.
E. S. Wheeler. E. C. Smith and sev-
eral other property owners sn Sauga-
tuck have entered a protest to the West-
port selectmen against the erection of
poles in front of their property bv. the
Postal Telegraph company. The pro-
test promises to develop into a lively le-
gal controversy between the telegraph
company and the town, as it is contend-
ed by the complainants that the compa-
ny has failed to comply with its char-
ter. ’
In 1884 a bill passed the Legislature
granting the company the right to ex-
tend its line through Westport, but it
has failed to make any move until now.
The property owners claim that the
company has waited too long, and fur-
ther say that the highway at the point
in dispute is already too much obstruct-
ed by poles. They have retained as
their counsel in the case Attorney Cur-
tis Thompson, and a hearing will be
held soon before the selectmen, from
whom the company must first obtain
permission before it can buildyits line.

being given by the South Norwalk
Athletic Club, was held last evening at.
the club rooms in the Swartz apqurfl-H

The storm did not appear to lessen
the attendance as every large party
of young people were present. Enjoy-
ment reigned supreme from the time
the orchestra started the first waltz un-
til the last numberlon the programme
was danced. For an excellent time,
last evening’s sociable exceeded any of
the preceding ones given by the club.
At intermission the spectators were
treated to as fine an entertainment as
one could desire. The class on the
parallel bars gave a fine exhibition and
were heartily applauded. Following
the parallel bar performance come
some very fine music on the banjos by
Messrs. Horace B. Miller, Ernest
Warden and Mortimer Hartwick, who
were obliged to respond to two encores.
Next came the class on the horizontal
bar, who delighted the Spectators by
their It'z‘raceful movements and exhibi-
tion of muscular development. The
class showed that they had forgotten
nothing since the last time they enter-
tained the people, and in fact proved
that their knowledge of the bar is un-
limited. The high kicking was also
heartily applauded. Mr. Wm. Mont-
gomery showed that there is lots of
music in a simple tin whistle, and re-
sponded to two encores, as did also
Messrs.
George Nash and Al. Austin,
who sang some sweet solos and duets.
At the conclusion of the entertainment
dancing was resumed and continued
until about two o’clock when the merry
party broke up, all present declaring
that the evening had been one of the
happiest spent in‘ their lives. '
The music was furnished by Messrs.
Purdy, Freeman and Wood, and was
of a high order. Prof. Fred. Buckley
prompted. Charles D. Taylor was floor
manager, assisted by Messrs. E. . J.
Hayes, E. R. Wilson, 0. 2. Frederick
