' Our Towu Accounts.
EDITOR GAZETTE : I am informed
that Selectman Daskam feels unfriendly
towards the matter of an examination
of his town accounts with our highway
and poor departments, and claims the
vote raising a committee for that pur-
pose, was illegal, because it was not in-
cluded _in the call for the meeting. I
was present at an annual town meeting
several years ago when this same
question was raised. Lawyer O. S.
Ferry rose and said at any annual
meeting of a town, the people were
paramount to any and all such restrict-
ions and could legally act upon any
measure at all affecting the town’s in-
terests, whether included in a published
notice of such meeting or not. Be this
as it may, I hope Mr. Daskam will ad-
here to his position and refuse to sur-
render his books and vouchers to this
committee, and for the reason that I
desire a special meeting called and a
vote passed, ordering an entire and
complete examination of all our town’s
receipts and expenditures. This should
extend back for at least three years and
the committee should be authorized to
employ an expert accountant to do this,
who can make the examination as thor-
ough as it is done at all our National
Banks. It was a foolish idea to raise
so large and respectable a committee to
overhaul only two lines of items in our
Selectmen’s accounts. Let their entire
management of the town’s money be
thoroughly examined and thus only,
can an end be put to the gossip about
the loseness' with which our town ac-
counts are kept, and in no other way
can the integrity Of our honorable
board of Selectmen be so effectually
vindicated. By all means, let us have
a Special town meeting and ”,have the
“examination,” if any at all is to be
had, made thoroughly.
TOWN Tax PAYER.
The GAZETTE has no more interest in
the above matter than every other
gOod citizen of the town ought to have.
The special efforts to place an Oppro-
brious responsibility upon this paper,
is, however, most cheerfully accepted
although the vote was carefully drawn
by a competent law;y ._ 2'. It is in the in-
terest of every taxpayer in the town
and meets the approval of large num-
bers of our tax paying citizens, and is,
in no possible way, a reflection upon
the capability or integrity of the
Selectmen, any more than the examina-
tions required by law, for our National
Banks, reflects upon ‘their officers.
There unquestionably ought to be more
thorough examinations of our town ac-
counts, than are now had. When our
town’s expenditures were but a few
hundred dollars a year, this matter
was of little consequence. Now that
our annual expenses exceed a hundred
thousand dollars .the same system of
rigid examination of vouchers and
accounts, should be adopted here as is
done in so many other towns in this
stair.
Venerable Dames.
Among all the good peop of Nor~
walk, who received the congratulations
of friends during our holiday season,
'there were none more remarkable for
their longevity, more cordially greeted
or more deservedly beloved and es-
teemed, than the following trio of ven ’
erable ladies, who still tarry with us,
to give happiness and sunshine to fam-
ily and friends, as they in life’s late
afternoon, with buoyont hope, and
without fear, calmly await the sunset
hour. The eldest of these good ladies
is MrzaCaroline Chichester,aged ninety-
thrce. Mrs. James Mallory follows,
now in her ninety-second year; next
is lilrs. Charles Mallory in her ninety-
first year. Mrs. Jonathan Camp, Miss
Julia Lockwood and Mrs. William Ii.
James, are following their more aged
Sisters, not “afar off,” and all are in
the full enjoyment of their intclectual
faculties and consrdering their venera-
blc years, also enjoy a remarkable de-
gree of physmal health and activlty.
Long may the good ladies continue to
abide with us.

WHAT THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL HER-
' SELF SAYS.
Surprising Story of the Daughter
of a Noted Professor.
How She Excited the Curiosity of
all her Friends.
One of the best known and most
interesting men in Brooklyn, N. Y., is
Professor J. M. Elwood, reSIding at 43
Cornelia St. He is a noted scholar
and professor. Bis charming daugh-
ter is a young lady of most estimable
character and has hosts Of . friends
everywhere.
She became fearfully nervous and
run down, and this was followed by a
most severe attack of St. Vitus’ dance.
She grew worse and physicians could
not cure her. She finally got well,
however, by a method which astons
ished all her friends.
“It afiords me the greatest pleasure,”
said the professor. “to state that my
daughter, who was a sufferer from ner-
vousness and St. Vitus’ dance, and who
was treated for so me by prominent phy-
sicians in Brooklyn without result, was
completely cured by using two bottles
Of Dr. Greene’s l‘lcrvum blood and
nerve remedy.”
MISS ELVYOOD.
Such strong evidence as this must
convince everybody of the genuine
worth of this great medicine. Mr.
Elwood’s word is as good as gold.
When he makes a statement people
know they can depend upon it. Just
such reliable statements about Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedv are constantly appearing, and
the people everywhere *have the utmost
confidence in this wonderful medicine.
They take it, and perfect health. re-
sults. The popular Miss Elwood thinks
it is indeed a wonderful remedy when
it will cure what all the skill of other
physicians cannot benefit= _
Why waste time in trying uncertain
and untried remedies, when here is a
physician's prescription, _ a discovery
made by the greatest livmg specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseaSes,
Dr. Greene. of 35 West 14th St, New
York City. If you take this medicine
you can consider yourself under Dr.
Greene’s direct professwnal care, and
you can consult him or write to_ him
about your case, freely and Without
charge. This is a guarantee that this
remedy will cure, possessed by no other
medicine in the world.

A ship that earn plough the waves of
the sea. or safely plunge into its depths
and there be navigated and returned to.
the surface at will, has been the dream of
inventors and the theme of imaginative
fiction writers; but now the dreams and
flights of wild imagination are to be prac-
tically realized. ‘
\ Uncle .Sam '
Robert Fulton the problem has been
worked on with varying degrees of suc-
cess, all falling short of the ideal; and
the great governments have been slow in
launching the people’s money on the un-
certain sea of problematicul submarine
navigation. But now the intensely prac-
tical and very matter-of-fact Navy De-
partment is about to have constructed a
craft that is able to safely cruise beneath
the surface of the water, and be the most
formidable instrument of naval warfare
yet known.
After a. long delay, which has been
occupied by careful examinations, ex-
periments and many postponements, Sec-
retary Herbert has approved the recom-
mendations of the Board of Bureau
Chiefs of the Navy Department to con-
struct a submarine torpedo boat on the
plans and designs furnished by the Hol-
land Torpedo Boat Company.
The boat is a cigar shaped steel struc-
ture, 80 feet long and 11 feet in diameter,
with atotal displacement of 188.5 tons,
having quadruple expansion engines,
with a speed capacity of sixteen knots an
hour, when running light, and eight
knots an hour when running submerged.
Slightly forward of the centre of the
vessel there is erected an armor turret.
When the superstructure is awash and
three 'feet of water covering the hull,
fifteen knots an hour will be made. The
boat is provided with two expulsion
tubes and five automatic torpedos. Two
additional torpedos can be carried if
desired.
Petroleum is the fuel used, and the
boat can make 1,200 miles with one load-
ing. It is independent of any particular
station, and can Operate from any
point where fuel can be had. Besides
the steam engines, the boat carries an
electric storage battery, to be used for
propulsion when submerged, and this
battery can be recharged from a dynamo,
which also furnishes electric lights.
The boat can be sunk to a. depth of
twenty feet below the surface of the
water within twenty seconds after the
order is given to dive, the boat at that
time running light and running full
speed ahead. The craft can be sunk to
that depth in ten seconds if running at
full speed with steam and having three
feet of water over the hull. “Then sub-
merged with three feet of water over the
hull the pilot can Obtain a. view over the
water by means of a camera lucida. in a
tube that projects over the Surface.
The boat can be sunk to a. depth of 70
‘feet. and there Operate at a. speed of eight
knots an hour. And this submergance is
not very temporary, for it can be main:
tained continuously for three days. At
this depth the crew can live quite com-
fortably, though their quarters are
greatly restricted. They have plenty of
good air to breathe, which is kept com-
‘cubic feet capacity, and held there at a
pressure of 2,000 pounds to the square
inch, until'needed. This pressure means
that the air chambers hold 133 volumes
"of atmospheric air.
A GREAT PREACHER DWARFED.
Objects to Publication of His Sex-mobs
W'itliout Permission.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, pastor of
the City Temple, London, has been ex-
pressing high indignation because some
newspaper printed extracts from ascr-
mon Without permission. The irate
preacher of the Gospel of Christ even de-
clared: “The man Who reports a sermon
without the preacher’s permission is a
thief.” He explains frankly that the
preacher may desire to sell the sermon or
preach it {elsewhere on the next Sunday.
“A Dick Turpin Of a. reporter,” prevents
this.
This strong language provokes many
unkind remarks about the gentleman.
who, since Spurgeon’s death, has been
considered by many as London’s great-
est pulpit orator. It really does seem
that the soul-saving business like all
other things English, has got down to a.
strictly commercial basis. Some rather
awkard extracts from Holy writ, includ-
ing quotations from the lips of the
Preacher of the Sermon on the Mount,
an authority usually held in quite high
respect at the City Temple, have been
brought to Dr. Parker’s attention this
week by the London press. Some, even
of the parishioners of this gentle follower
of J esus, have been disturbed by his
words.‘ Thus one writes to the Times:
“Dr. Parker’s letter causes me some
qualms of conscience. A few weeks back
Iwas able to pour consolation into the
heart of an Old friend, who was in great
mental afflction and bodily weakness, by
reciting to him some singularly beautiful
sentences 1 had heard from the City Tem-
ple pulpit. I confess it quite escaped me
that I ought to have charged my sorrow-
ing friend three shillings Sixpence or so
for the use of the preacher’s balm for
wounded souls, and transmitted the
money to the owner of such mental med-
icine. Ithink Dr. Parker will see that,
even in these ungodly times, the public
are not yet ready for viewing what they
are told is the House of God as a shop,
and the proclamation of the Everlasting
Gospel as a trafficing
goods. Doubtless Dr. Parker’s letter will
help the people to see him and his work
in the right- light.”
Others put the pertinent inquiry
whether Dr. Parker is greater than his
Master. It is recalled by the newspaper
men that in his earlier days he not only
welcomed the reporters, but used to beg
editOrs to send them, and when none
came he was not above summarizing his
sermons himself and sending reports to
the newspaper offices. NO man, in fact,
knows better than Dr. Parker how to
utilize the newspapers for gratuitously
advertising himself. When, a. few years
ago, he aspired to fill Henry Ward Bee-
cher’s pulpit. he took immense pains to
obtain the assistance of all the agencies
engaged in the business of cabling news
to the American Press. '

“PETER-'6 FENCE."
350. 130p” Issues a. Letter to American
. Contributors of this Ancient Fund.
An important let-ter has been received
from Rome by the Apostolic delegate,
Mgr. Satolli, to be forwarded by him to
the Archbishops, who are to distribute it
totheir sufi'ragans. Heretofore the Peter’s
pence collected each year inqevery diocese
have been sent directly by the bishops to
Rome. Now those collections must be
transmitted to tho Delegate. In his letter
the Pope says:
“Among other efficient means of foster-
ing and proving devotedness to the Rom-
an Pontiff, one deserves notice—we mean
the financial support given him that he
may the more readily provide for the in—
terests of the Church. Since the days of
the apostles the faithful have given in
this matter a noble example, which has
continued through all the vicissitudes of
time and events. This support is justly
called Peter’s pence. Assuredly in these
latter days, when the rights of the Roman
Church are unjustly violated and its
former means have ceased, it is a fact
worthy of remembrance and commenda—
tion that Catholics of almost every nation
have been so warm in their attachment
to the successor of St. Peter as to come in
aid of his honorable destitution. In thil
concert the faithful of your great coun-
try deserve a. just meed Of praise, for
under the guidance and exhortation of
their Bishops they have given remarkable
proofs of the ardor of their faith and the
native generosity of their hearts.
“Useless, then, to urge them to further
continuance of this custom. Our purpose
rather is to point out an arrangement
which shall facilitate and, if possible,
also increase their generosity. N 0t long
ago, as you know, we thought proper to
give your diocese and your flocks a. special
pledge of our affection in the establish
ment of a permanent apostolic delegation,
so that there might be constantly in your
midst one who should represent our per-
son and manage your more important
affairs in our name and with our power.
N ow this institution naturally suggests
the new arrangement we should like to
make as to the Peter’s pence. It is this:
The collections for this purpose which
each Bishop orders in his diocese, as well
as the private contributions that indi-
vidual Catholics may wish to make to
the Holy Father in their own names, shall
henceforth be forwarded to and placed to
the credit. of the Apostolic Delegate to
siding in \Vashington; he afterwards will
remit the sums to us with itemized de
tails. Your generosity will be most ac-
ceptable and opportune just now. for the
needs increase day by day with our grove
ing solicitude for the faith, and especially
since the publication Of. our late apostolic
letter on unity. \Ve cherish certain proj-
ects by which we hope, not without good
grounds, to foster and hasten that do
voutly wished consummation, the reunion
of Christendom. Such, venerable brother..
is our wish in this matter. We know well
and duly praise your willingness to cor-
respond tO our counsels and desires. And
now we lovingly bestow on yourself, your
work, your clergy, your people, the apos-
tolic benediction, as a pledge of God’s
choicest blessings, that unfailing success
may attend your pastorate.”

Petersburg lie buried, with the exception
of Peter IL, who died at Moscow and was
interred there. Overhead in the church
magnificent monuments mark the sites

wars waged by Russia against the Swedes,
Poles, Turks, Persians and French.

at the western end. The summit of the
cross, which surmounts it, is 371 feet
above the ground level. In the gliding of
the spire 22 pounds weight of pure gold
are said to have been employed.
The fortress, which contains the mint

OPERA m GAY ATTIRE.

The Opening week of the Opera season is
an important event in the develOpment of
modes for evening dress which definitely
settles the question of what to wear and
how to have it made. This study of fem-
inine attire as represented by the fashiohv
able society woman, with all the advan-
tages which art, in fashion, can lend to
nature, becomes a. glowing picture of
beauty and brightness. dainty coloring,
and graceful outline, as you view it
through an opera glass, on the Opening
night, seeking pretty ideas for practical
use.
Satin is the material most generally '
employed for opera gowns; in = fact, on
opening night all of the dresses which
were unmistakably new were of satin,
and white was the prevailing color with
a. very generous sprinkling of pale blue,
pink, and yellow satin gowns, so rich
and glossy in quality. so brilliant in
effect, that you wonder why satin ever
goes out of fashion. You next turn
your attention to the sleeve, which has
grown by an interesting series of gradual
inflations to the most conspicuous feature
of dress, and you gnd it smaller, and
consequently prettier, than it has been
for some time; and it is satin, too, like
the skirt, in almost every instance 'made
in a. plain, short, full pufi or of chiffon,
the same color as therest of the gown.
A few draped sleeves are seen, quite short
and caught up in the middle in butterfly-
fashion, showing the upper part of the
arm in the pretty, old way of a. few years
ago. These were of lace or chiflfon frills
arranged one over the other, giving the
effect of small wings, or hanging out
loose like a miniature ballet skirt. A
small sleeve hanging low on the arm is
used in gowns cut low and round in the
neck, and the arm shows plainly between
this sleeve and the strap going over the
shoulder.
The low bodices are cutat the neck,
either round and well off from the
shoulder in the Victorian style, or decid-
edly square and defined by a trimming
which accentuates the square effect. One
distinguished looking woman was dress
ed in aplain black velvet gown, cut low
and round at the neck where it was fin~
ished with a band of ermine.
Evening coii’fures at the opera are ar-
ranged very simply, as far as the knot is
concerned, but the hair first has to be
waved all around the head in the ap-
proved fashiou of the day, and that
process cannot be called a simple one.
There is nothing new in the arranging of
this knot, which varies in size and shape
according to the amount of hair, but its
favorite resting place seems to be just
below the crown of the head. in a few
3~
cases it is high on the head; in many
others the hair is brought down over
the ears and arranged low in the neck.
Hair ornamentation consists. principally
of jewelled pins, an occasional band of
diamonds across the top of the head, and ._
the regal jewelled tiara which so féw ‘.
possess. Ono single pin, not at all pre- 3
tentious in size, is the prevailing decora-. 1
tion worn, with here and there a. heads-v
dress of satin ribbon the color of the,
gown, made in'a‘bow which stands out,
allttlc at each side and droops on the;
hair at the back, instead of taking the .
upright position; it did last yearn—N, Y.
