Cheap Flour and Dear Bread.

That purchasers would have to pay
as much‘ for bread with bakers’ flour
selling at wholesale at from 32.50 to
$3.50 per barrel, as when it sold for
twice as much, would have seemed in-
credible in the days when the hit-2116r
prices for floor prevailed. and the fact
that it is so is awakening a full chorus
of protests in about every City 111 the
land. The old method of bakingbread
at home has gone out of fashion in
many households, while among . the
poor who live in tenements, the lamb.
ties for baking are lacking. meg to
these and other causes, the bakers have
had things pretty much their own way.

But a change is now demanded and
if not conceded, new bakers threaten
to largely enter the field in New York
and elsewhere and out ruling prices,
provided old dealers do not at once put
an end to the high priced bread monop‘
oly. Many too, are returning to the
old time fashion Of baking their own
“home-made” bread. Good weights and
fair prices, should rule in bread as in
all else and we are glad to know that
no serious complaints are made against
our own city bakers.

The Virtues of Dinhtherine.

The length got time required for the
preparation of diphtherine, or the
serum which has been used so success
fully in Germany for the treatment of
diphtheria, coupled with the sudden
demand which has sprung up for it from
all directions, necessarilly creates a
scarcity of the new remedy and inter-
feres more or less with«its systematic
and satisfactory application, especially
in the United States.

Of five patients, however, treated at
the Municipal hosiiital, Philadelphia,
by Dr- Welch, all of them children,
three are out of danger. one failed to
rally, and the condition of another,
whose case had reached an advanced
stage before the diphtheriue was ad-
ministered, was at last accounts con-
sidered exceedingly unpromising.

In the meantime the supply of serum
which was small at the outset, is nearly

, exhausted, and it is doubtful if it can

, be replenished even on acable order

,to Berlin, as Prof. ilaing’s stock is

_ also supposed to be limited.

There can be no further question as

. to the efficacy of diphtherine in mitiga-

ting the severity of one of the most

,1‘ dreaded of all diseases, and diminish-

ing its fatality. Not that it is a panacea,

. but that it is accomplishing results

which will unquestianably lead to its

‘ general adoption in time and entitle its

. discovery to a place among the great-
est benefactions of the century.

One of the most conclusive argu-
ments as to the value of this treatment
which has yet appeared is found in the
report of Dr. DeKay, our consul gen
eral at Berlin, who states that in the

hospitals of that city, where the death
_ratc of children under four years of
age, afflicted with diphtheria, had gone
.. down to 11 per cent, so long as the
serum was available in sufficient quan-
tities, it rose rapidly to 60 per cent,
when the stock became exhausted.

With these and other evidences of
the usefulness of the new remedy, it
will not belong before establishments
for the production of serum will be
multiplied both in this country and
abroad, and ultimately no greater
scarcity be experienced of the bene-

ficent blood of the inoculated. horse
than there is at present of the vaccine
wirus.

 

CO.

The Loan Stimulates Business.
It seems to be accepted in trade cir-'
.cles, that the new issue of the fifty

million of United States Bonds was the
.. most important financial step our gov
ernment could have taken in aid of re.
turning prosperity.
It is estimated that this 850,000,000 of
five per cent. bonds will yield not less
than $58,000,000 in gold, thus making
the annual interest less than three per
. cent. They will be quicklyand eagerly
_ taken, for the banks have now large
reserves of gold in excess oftheir own
requirements, from which they are
. deriving no benefit, and which they
will gladly transfer to the United States
Treasury, where it is needed for the
common security, receiving in return
for it bondslthat can be'readily dis-
posed of or employed as the basis of
fresh operations.
The new loan will thus nOt only
. strengthen the Treasury, but will im-
part tit-healthy stimulus to trade. The
announcement has already had its effect
in stiffening the prices of all sound se-
curities. ‘

Local Physicians Puzzled.

SOUTH PETERSBUBG, N. Y. —For two

. months Melvm Church of this town was

a confined to his bed, suffering with lum-

bago, rheumatism and kidney com-

, plaint. The regular treatment was

prescribed by his physicians without

benefit. Dr. David‘ Kennedy’s Fav-

orite Remedy was then used with the
most satisfactory results.

In speaking , about his case Mr.
Church said : “ After taking about two
thirds of a bottle, I began to get relief,
and when I had taken three bottles I
was well and strong. _

’ Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
.. .. edy will build up a person suffering
from ,debility quicker and better than

‘ any preparation_known. For dyspep-
sia biliousness, liver complaint, neural-
gia‘and rheumatism, it has again and
again succeeded where everything else
has failed. ' ‘ . ‘

She and Her Danghtggfilave a Re-
markable Experience.

 

and This Will Interest All
Workers.

All kinds of diseases and weaknesses
leave their marks on the system. It is
very easy for the stomach, liver, bow-
els and kidneys to becomederanged,
and when they do, the person_s_oon
feels tired, languid, weak, low-spirited
and gloomy. '

The nerves become weak, and insan-
ity or paralysis may follow. The blood
gets bad, there is coated tongue, bad
taste in mouth, constipation. the com-
plexion grows sallow and life looks
dark. All persons complaining of any
of these troubles will read with wonder
the following letter=~fr0m= Mrs. James

Beake, a well-know’n'ladyliving at 145
Washington Street,‘Peokskill, N. Y.:

“About fifteen years ago I was taken
very szck. After seven months I got
over that, but have never been well
since. I have suffered terribly With
pains in the chest','back, kidneys and
head. There was a disagreeable feel-
ing in the eyes and I would be very
sick in the morning. ‘

“My mind was always gloomy and I
felt very low spirited. I had terrible
numb spells and would have to be
rubbed some time before I could get
around. Some of these numb spells
were so severe my friends thought I
would not recover from them.

“I tried doctors and medicines but
got no better. Finally I began the use
of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, as my husband had been
most miraculously cured by it. After
using it a short time there was a most
wonderful improvement.

 

MRS. JAMES ROAKE.

“I continued to steadily gain in every
respect until Iwas cured Of all these
terrible ailings. .;T;his;wonderful medi-
cine had now cured my husband and
myself of the most terrible suffering,
but this was not all. I now want to
tell about my little girl.

“She has never been well since she
was born. NO doctors have known
just what ailed her. She was out of
her mind most of the time and had con-
stant pain in her side. She has had
spasms continually, from six: to sevbn a
month. ,

“She is the smallest child for her
age that can be found. 'All medicines
could do nothing for her until I gave
her Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and then she was cured
in a short time. I cannot say enough
in praise of this wonderful medicine, it
has done so much for me and my fam-
ily. I heartilv adviseeverybody to
take it.” ' i ’

If you have any of these complaints
orifor any reason don’t-feel just as well
as you want to, take Dr. .Greene’s Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy and you
will be made well and strong. It posi-
tively cures all such complaints.

All physicians recommend it, as it is
the discovpry and prescription of the
most successful Specialist in curing
nervous and chronic , *diseases, Dr.
Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New
York. He can be consulted free, per-
sonally or by letter.

Bury the Wires... .
Manager Morris of the Norwalk 'I‘el-
ephone system,-assures us that his com.
pany intends in the near future, to put
their wires,‘now~ strung on unsightly
poles all over our city, under ground.
This has now become an absolute ne~
cessity for the satisfactory working Of
their telephone system. ,

The multiplication _of"_el'ectric light
and trolley wues’here,'causes such in.
duction as (U at times render our
“phones” almost useless and quite fre-
quently an exasperi ting nuisance.

We note too, Ell-{lid}; nearly every
city in CODUECIICH . the question of
putting all elect: ic wires under ground,
is being agitated as a matter of safety
to life and property, rather than of
convenience. Several deaths have al-
ready been caused in this state, by
electric light and trolley wires, and
also a number of fires. The thrashing
or breaking of tree limbs in a gale and
falling upon and parting these over
head wires, are the fruitful cause of
accidents that may all be prevented by:
a burial of the wires. Our fire alarm
system here in Norwalk, is madeprac-
tically uSeless by their being in" such
close contact with the net-works of
these electric wires Overspreading the
city. The last two or three fires we have
had, have not been sounded, or sound-
ed erroneously. ‘ .

The time, is surely. coming when all
these death and dangef‘dealing neces-
sities of our modern civilization, will
be placed under groundfin-all thickly
settled places. All are agreéd upon
the necessity of this protection and
improvement and may the day be has-
tened when this essential safety toour
citizens and their property shall be an

The Right Man for thePlaoe. I.

'nameshave been suggested in difi‘crent
parts of the state. as suitable candi-
dates for, the Speakershio'of ourcOm-
ing House of Representatives. .It is
one of the pleasing and encouraging

members of the Legislature who in the
public estimation are fit to fill the pre-

She Was a‘ Hard Working Person“ siding officer’s chair. So many “I“...

orite sons,” representing so ' many
towns, prove to the world that “the
country is safe.” But candidly, ther
is ‘one name-mentioned that so cOnspi-
cuously, towers above all—others in
qualification, merit and conceded fit-
ness, that- no one seriously questions
his being preeminently the right 'man
for the place. The GAZETTE refers of
course, to the Hon. Samuel Fessenden,
of Stamford. No man in this state, or
out of it, has rendered mere effective,
unselfish and unrequitted service for
his party than he. Always working for
the preferment Of others and not for
himself; for the cause, because he be-
lieved in the beneficence of Republi-
can principles; no man has an equal
claimv'ith Fessenden for the united
support of his party, in the coming
vote for the Speakership. But these
generous qualities are of less moment
than his unrimlled qualifications for
the position. He is a master of parlia-
mentary law and usage; is entirely fa-
miliar with public men and measures;
has an unusually alert way of reaching
conclusions, which are sure to be
sound; has remarkable tact, aptitude
and quick comprehension of all matters
legislative. Above all and over all, he
has that constant geniality of temper,
that never shows irritation under the
most- trying, and to others, most exas-
perating circumstances. In fine, Fes-
senden is known everywhere to be a
big hearted, great natured and superb-
ly brainy man.

He will go into caucus with Fair-field
and Litchfield counties solid for him,
with a large followmg throughout the
entire state. The only opposition he
is likely tO encounter anywhere will
come, if it comes at all, from ex-Gov-
ernor Buckley’s antipathy, beCause of
Fessenden having refused to accept the
nomination for U. S. Senator and thus
making the return of Senator Hawley
for the third time possiblejand Buck-
ley’s selection impossible.

Fessenden is the idol of the Republi-
cans of Western Connecticut and they
were sadly disappointed when for rea-
sons personal to himself, but sound and
commendable, he refused them their
ardent desire to place him in the United
States senate, a position they knew he

tatives.

Now to Business.

The election is over and the verdict
of the Nation has been rendered with
such emphasis that none can misunder-
stand it.
two great causes either of which
was quite enough to defeat a party
in power. Serious financial disturb-
ance, followed by business paraly-
sis and industrial depression, both re-
sulting chiefly, if not wholly, from the
threat to rip up the protective tariff
and to legislate along the lines of free
trade,and for which the party in power
was justly responsible. This of itself
was sufficient to cause the phenominal
political revolution which last Tuesday
resulted in democracv’s overthrow.

NO party in power has ever been
able to escape defeat when business and
industrial distress prevailed throughout
the country. Anotner cause that was
quite sufficient in itself to defeat the
Democratic party at the late election
was the discordant and blundering
action of the Democrats in Congress.
When the great material interests of
the country awaited legislation on both
the financial and the tariff questions,
and when promptness wa‘s indispensable
to meet the needs of the occasion, there
were months of needless delay and
such confusion in counsels and such
absence of statesmanship that public
confidence was forfeited and defeat was
as logical as the setting of the sun.

The injury wrought by their party
leaders was felt and resented, more
spiritedly by Democrats than by

'1 1000’s:

since election. Our great manufactor-
ing plants _ and especially our great
transportation lines, show a remarkably
sudden increase of business and
throughout every channel of commerce
and trade there have been exhibited
increasing confidence and improved
conditions. So there is every reason
why business should revive with in-
creased activity, and general commer-
cial and industrial prosperity be speed-
ily attained. Let the Republican
leaders if they will, claim that the busi-'

ness revival is due to the success Of‘

their party at the late election. Let
them claim what they will as to why
prosperity is coming; that is of little
consequence. The great need is the
hearty co-operation of all parties and

our labor and happiness to our people,
and letall with one accord, unite to
promote healthy and enduring business

Japan Rcscnta Great Britiin’n Ofl'crl of
Intervention—A New Constitution
For Korea—Has the Chinese
Army Really Been Lost? - ’

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.16.'——Einar Bjorn-
son of Shanghai is now in this city on his
way to Rome, where his father, the Nor-
wegian novelist, Mr. Bjornson, is an ofll.
car of the Chinese customs service and
has for eight years been stationed at va-
rious Chinese and Korean ports. He ex-

. plains the inertness of the Chinese govern-

ment in its early prosecution of the war
as due to the preparations for the long
contemplated imperial birthday celebra-
tion on Nov. 10, for which the govern-
ment hail been gathering funds for two
years. When disaster overtook the Chi-
nese forces in Korea, the whole purpose of
the government changed to the defensive,
and the paramount Wish was to keep
Peking safe from invasion and capture.
It was decided that the birthday cere-
monies and decorations should beconflncd
to Peking.

“As to operations in the near future,”
said Mr. Bjornson, “I know that the Chi-
nese government strongly desires to avoid
humiliation in negotiating with Japan,
and if the national pride is too seriously
affronted I do not think the war will and
Very soon. China cares very little for
Korea and is Willing that Korea should
be independent, and I think the Chinese
government would be willing to pay an
indemnity to Japan, but this opinion is
conjectured. The war has made no im-
pression on the Chinese people, few of
them know that it has been in progress,
and most of them care nothing about the
matter. In Japan the choice of war was
seized upon as. a political movement to
keep the present gavernmcnt in power.”

Japan Suspicious of England.

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 10.—The newspapers
here resent Great Britain’s offers of inter-
vention, which they regard as entirely a
movement in behalf of China. They add
that Great Britain’s influence in the east
is in jeopardy by this offer, which wounds
Japanese feeling. The newspapers of this
city say that the defer'iscs.of Port Arthur
are reported to be stronger on the land
side than on the sea front. ’Fully 100
guns are said to be in position. The Jap-
anese expect that if the Chinese make any
defense the assault will be bloody.

A Constitution For Korea.

CHEMULPO, Korea, Nov. 16.—The Ko-
rean government officials who have a pro
Japan leaning are engaged in preparing
a. consitutlon, which will be promulgated
early in 1895. Numbers of Korean sol-
diers, who have been sent against the
Tonghaks. have joined the rebels, whose
numbers are increasing daily. The coun‘
try south of Seoul is in a state of great
turmoil. '

Where Is the Chinese Army?
TrEN-TSIN, Nov. 16. — The present
whereabouts of the Chinese army, which
was defeated at Kin-Lien-Cheng, is un-
known bera. Colonel von Hanneken has
been given supreme [command of the
whole Chinese navy.

Chicago Election Murders.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—John Pyliugni, an
Italian. died in a tenement house today
as a result of injuries inflicted on election
day. He worked against the fugitive ex-
State Senator O’Malley and was attacked
and knocked down with a slungshot.
Antonio Sabero, a saloon keeper’s son, is
charged with the murder.
3 Latcr.—State Senator John O’Malley,
for whom the police have been searching
since the night of the election, surrender-
ed himself today. O’Malley is charged
with having wounded a bartender and a.
cab driver. and was also wanted for al-
leged complicity in the murder of Gus
Collander.

Supposed Spies In France.

PARIS, Nov. 16.—In consequence of the
instructions of the minister of war an in-
quiry has begun regarding a serious case
of espionage. Three arrests have been
made. The prisoners include two Ger-
mans, Schoenbeck and Von Cassel, who
are believed to be officers of thee German
army reserve. The third prisoner is a
Frenchman whose name has not yet been
given. The three arrests have revealed an
extensive espionage plot. and it appears
that the documents found at the residences
of the prisoners are of great importance.

CAPE TOWN, Nov. 16.—W. Stanley Hol-
lis, United States consul in Mozambique,

tom—of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad and his associates for
- taking part in the Abington riots in Au-
gust, 1893. is the subject of much com-
ment in railroad circles. President Clark
of the railroad company said today:

“The principal executive officers of the
Old Colony company had been advised to
resist by force the creation of a grade
crossing by an electric railroad company.
Sanbcrn and his assoclhtes were directed
to attend to the matter, and they obeyed
without question. While they were sta-
tioned on the ground for this purpose
they were assaulted with brickbats, fired
at with pistols. and the boss was played
on them. It was a matter of self protec-
tion that they should defend their lives‘
as best they could. The riot was incited ,
and created by the bystanders, the em- '
ployees of the electric road taking no part
in the trouble. The company has done
everything in its power to make repara-
tion to everybody claiming to have been
injured. Superintendent Sunburn and
his associates were advised to plead nolo
contenderc, and so deprived themselves of
a trial by jury in the belief that the pun-
ishment would be a fine. There was no
disrespect for law or disregard of law.

“There is no ground to criticise the ac-
tion of the court in the sentence. The
present issue is whether these men, all of
good character. should sufi'er imprison-
ment for follOwing the directions of their
legal advisers and the ordérs of their
superior officers. When the facts are pre-
sented to the governor and council, I hope
the pardoning power will be exercised. ”

THE LANCASTER’S NEW USE.

She \Vill Be Fitted Out Promptly an 3
Gunnery Practice . Cruiser.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Secrtary Her-
bert has determined to fit out the old
frlgatc Lancaster, which some time ago
returned from the China station, as a
gunnery practice cruiser and has chosen
Captain Bainbrldge Hoff to command the
vessel. The navy department has long
been in need of means to instruct gun-
ners in the use of modern rifles, and the
assignment of a special vessel for drills at
the great guns under competent instruct.
ors has been contemplated for several
years.

Captain Hoff. is said to be particularly
qualified for the duty, and he is now on-
gaged in preparing the course of instruc-
tion which lt'ls proposed to follow. The
Lancaster will be prepared for her new
career during the winter and be put into
commission early in the spring. Her ren-
dezvous will be at Newport and her crulses
will not extend more than 100 miles in
any direction from that harbor during
the summer, although in colder weather '
she may cruise in the West Indies.
