. Vote for City Charter!
Polls Open Saturday from S A. M.
to 5 P. M. at Town House.
Reasons Why.
We trust that our new city charter
will be adopted by a large majority of
a large vote. The word “Borough” is
misleading and misdescriptive. That a
municipality having within its border a
population of over 7,000, with tide-
water and railroad facilities, an excel-
lent water system, a wisely planned
and honestly built sewer system, side-
walks, paved and macadamized streets,
electric lights, street railways, eight
houses of public worship, three nation-
al banks, two savings banks,.an insur-
ance company, a state armory, parks
and a historic. “Green,” should still
cling to the discredited name “Bor-
ough,” is an astonishment tothose who
fifinventoried ” our resources and our
natural , artificial and material advant-
' ages. This is not the jargon of western
' 2boomers,” but the unvarnished truth,
and entitles 'us to become a city. In
the minds of outsiders the word “ Bor-
ough ” describes an unimportant coun-
try village, with two or three kerosene
street lamps, awatchmanand a lockup.
Every man who wants Norwalk to be
known to the world as she should be,
will vote for it to become a CITY.
These things appeal to our pride, and
it is high time for Norwalk to exhibit a
little “local pride.”
There are business reasons why a new
charter is necessary. There is hardly
a lawyer in town who can tell you off-
hand what our Borough charter means.
The general statutes 'Of the state have
been revised twice since the Borough
charter was enacted, and our new city
charter will be substantially a revision
of our Borough charter plus a number
of invaluable improvements, viz:
The tax is not laid until the list is
g. completed.
The city meeting prescribes the ex-
penditures, and not the council.
_ The assessors have two months in-.
stead of a few days as now, for their
important work.
Appropriations of, over $1,000 made
by city meetings are to be made by bal-
lot and not a vocal howll'of anybody
and everybody. In short, good busi-
ness methods take the place of poor
ones; and city charter order takes the
place of borough charter chaos.
Vote for the city charter. Polls open
on Saturday from 6 a. in; to 5 p: m.

Avoid the Dull Season.
Some thirty New York merchants
gave public interviews a year or so ago
of the method they employed to avoid
the dull season in trade. All of them
agreed that since they had adopted the
policy of liberally advertising in the
newspapers steadily through the sum-
mer, they had no dull season in their
trade. Most of them stated "that, in-
stead of lessening their advertising in
the dull season of trade, they increased
it, and found it to be profitable.
Of course, there is a lull in trade in
the summer season; but there is al-
ways enough business to enable the
more progressive business houses to
maintain a profitable trade when most
others are idle. It was a custom, fol-
lowed fOr several years prior to his de-
cease, by the then leading dry-goods
man of Eighth avenue, New. York, to
fill the GAZETTE with his attractive ad-
vertisements during the summer or «dull
‘ months of the year, saying that during
the other months of the year when
I , trade was brisk, he had no occasion to
advertise out of town, because his trade
, ' was prosperous enough without it. He
stated further that it was an astonish-
ment 'to him, to note the "numbers of
f customers he was thus able .to draw
from Norwalk and vicinity away over
,to his store in Eighth avenue. ‘ Every
intelligent and experienced advertiser ,
knows that it is in dull seasons, of all
others, that the best results are realized
from large and liberal newspaper adver.
tising of their geods. It is also a fact,
that during the hot months of July and
--August, larger numbers of, strangers
g and more of 'our “country cousins”
come to Norwalk, than during any other '
. two months of the year, and the most
.of them do more or less “ shopping”
‘at our stores. As a rule these visitors N
read our ,local papers, and-fishop when
, .and where they have seen advertised
‘ some specially inviting goods or “ bar-,_
gains. ”}
The merchants who have the tact to.
keep on sale what the people want, and
then to let the public know it, through
the newSpapers, is sure of'patronage,
and the more attractive the advertise-
ments are made, the surer and larger
the return. The advertisements in the
GAZETTE from day to day are as inter-
esting and readable as the matter in its
news columns, and are generally as at-
tentively read. Indeed, the advertising
columns should always sparkle with im-
portant news to buyers, and reliability
should be stamped on every line. The
house that advertises in a slip-shod way,
or that is reckless in statement, simply
wastes money in advertising.
Advertising here in Norwalk is now
so cheap that it should be greatly mul-
tiplied. The GAZETTE gives its adver-
tisers the largest circulation ever at-
tained by any newspaper in Norwalk.
It is read by all classes of our people.
and especially the purchasing masses,
and its advertising rates are only about
half that charged by journals of simi-
lar standing elsewhere.
If our local dealers want to increase
their sales, they should advertise in the
GAZETTE.

Big Defalcation.
The flight of E. L. Gunn; the insur-
ance and loan agent, has been the cause
of a most profound sensation. It has
been found that he has defrauded vari-
ous Hartford people of not less than
$15,000. The Hartford School Fund
Loan company, of which he was agent.
Will lose at least $35,000. A dispatch
from Lima, 0., to the Hartford Times,
says that Gunn has undoubtedly ab-
sconded and a shortage of $30,000 has
already been discovered. Within four
years Gunn has placed $200, 000 in Allen
county alone on loans for the Connecti-
other localities. His collections for in-
terest on that account have amounted
to $14,000 per year, and the fear is ex-
pressed that the school fund is a suffer-
er by“ his sudden departure. N othin'g

Connecticut Interested.
The publication of the letter of Fish
Commissioner Lawrence D. Hunting-
ton of New York, regarding the new
law prohibiting the consumption of
clams less than one-eight thick has
spread consternation among dealers in
“little necks.” They declared that .a
clam war was likely to be the result if
» the-commissioner enforced the law.
Along the Fulton and Washington
markets could be seen great piles of
those choice little clams ready to be
sent back to the beds and dumped over-
board. .
Fish Commissioner Huntington says
the law was the outcome of a desire on
the part of the New York clammersf to
protect the crop, which, they claim is
fast being depleted. The clam dealers,
however, say that this is absurd and
that the small clams nearly all come
from Connecticut and_ Massachusetts,
as the native clam is not popular.
Edward H. Strong of Strong & 00., in
Fulton-market, said:
This law is unconstitutional and not
for the protection of the clammers of
this state. It was passed in the interest
of a certain manufacturer of clam
bouillon on Long Island. to whom the
small clams are of no benefit, but _a
loss. By the law, as it now stands, this
man will neither be compelled to pay for
the small clams nor to o to the expense
of assortin them. e clams we are
now forbi den to handle are worth to
as $5 per 1,000 while the larger ones
are worth but half that amount. To
'eld well clam beds have to be worked.
ff the law is enforced theolose to the
eastern states will be considerable, as
my firm rece'ves weekly from Connec-
ticut alone over 3600 worth.” .
Fish Commissroner Huntington was
not disturbed by the widespread dis-
cussion of the “clam act.” He scouts
the idea of any serious 0 position and
claims that the big_clam ealers will be
with him to a man in enforcingthe law.
He Was pronounced in declaring that
«the 1 1-8th inch limit would be strictly
adhered to.'. .He said that the
clams, caught outside of the New York
state commissioner-3’ domain and shi
pad to New York; can be sold only in
the original pqc es, or, more correct:
ly, in the ori , arrels. Noose, he
said, would e allowed to break the
cfse or barrel heads and retail the

Swallowed Her False Teeth.
A picnic from New Canaan ei’ijoyed
the cool breezes at Roton Point, 'hurs-
day, and several. young ladies took
advantage of the high has in the after-
noon to indulge in a bath. One dash-
ing little blonds who is noted for her
good looks and false teeth, was more
daring than the others and romped and
splashed the water at such a rate that
the other young ladies became envious
of the attentions which were paid to.
her by the young men present. Finally
one young man was allowed the privi-
lege of “ducking” the blonde, and this
he did With a good deal of pleasure.
He grasped her by the shoulders and
pushed her under the water, but in an
ungarded moment the young lady ne-
glected to close her mouth and swallow-
ed a large amount of salt water. This
made her cough violently. and in one
of her paroxysms she dislodged her
false teeth, which stuck in her throat,
nearly chocking her to death. The
bothers gathered around the young
lady, some patting her on the back
while others rushed to the shore in
search of medical aid, but the teeth
were finally dislodged and the young
lady retired to her bath house, robed
herself and returned home. It is said
that she does not. now speak to the
young man that ducked her.
