7' Nahum GAIlTl «Trutluabocc all firings.” FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1895. __.. Entered in the Post-Office as a Newspaper. Norwalk Still Solvent The official statements of our Nor- walk banks, published last month, showed that there were on deposit and subject to check in our five national banks, the enormous amount of “cash on hand” of nearly one mill-ion dollars! In Norwalk’s three' savings banks, there is a total of the still more pro- digious sum of fournn’llions of dollars! So we guess that whatever hetide in Hartford or Washington legislation, Norwalk will be able to survive until the opening of the coming Spring, when all the indications seem to prom- ' ise a revival of our former prosperous business condition. 40.— lnvestigate bv all Means. - Ever since the Lexow committee be- gan its revelation of municipal corrup- tion in New York, there has been a growing feeling in Norwalk, expressing itself in various ways, that an investi- gation would be serviceable here This feeling has intensified, and begins to take ,shape in a. distinct demand for decided action. We think there is no one who be- lieves that the present heads of the town’s administration are personally corrupt or corruptible. In fact, we do not know that any such thing was be- lieved of the ostensible head of the city government in New York under the Tammany rule. But it is not ex, aggeration to say that no time in Nor. walk has the conviction been deeper or more universal that theImanagement of town afiairs was essentially and ther- oughly bad, and that the tax-payers were being taxed too highly and that certain expenses of the town are being swelled to an unprecedented amount without any compensating public gain- From time to time we get intimation of the loose methods employed, but for the most part the community as a whole is as ignorant of the inner work- ings of the Selectmen as were the peo- ple of New York of the methods of police corruption before the Lexow committee succeeded in turning the force inside out. When an inquiry is started it is initantly denounced by a “chum” of one of the Selectmen, which leads all decent people to believe that the accounts o! i‘ue town cannot be investigated too quickly. By all means let our town accounts be inves- tigated by an experienced accountant. ~ —'-~~<-—-r—-<- A Merchant's View of It. While political demagogues and: vis- ionaries are spouting idle wind and chopping vain logic over the tariff, greatly to the disturbance and alarm of industrious business folk, the mer- chants and manufacturers of the coun- try are discussing the situation in a vein of sober, common sense. Among these, Mr. John Clafiin, of New York, has just spoken, through the medium of a communication to the Herald, and as it seems to us. with peculiar force and eloquence. His letter is rather lengthy, but we quote what he says as to the effect of tarifi' agitation. “Importations of foreign merchan- dise Will be larger next spring than _if the old tariff were in force. This Will mean smaller sales of domestic goods, diminished American manufactures ind less wages to operatives than in 1692. But all these conditions have been _dis- counted in conditions now prevailing. If factories can run Without serious loss they'WIll not stand idle. By and by an increasing demand for workmen «Vlll lessen the number of the unemplo ed, and the future Wlll look dec dly brighten”. It seems reasonable to hope tha. the same forces in the Senate which last summer saved the country from the original Wilson bill may be relied -.pon to prevent any furl-her folly and mis- chief during the last of the .Fifty—lhird Congress. If at any time while they Were holding back the tide of improvi- deuce and calamity they ques" mod the intelligent sympathy and approval of the American people—some‘ning quite unlikely, we should think—'they will at least feel sure of it now in the light of the rebuke which has just been administered to the prophets of agita- tion. - l’l‘liat Tired Feeling So common at this season, is a serious condition. liable to lead to disastrous results. It is a; sure sign of declining health tone, and that the blood is im- poverished and impure. The best and most successful remedy is found in hoops . ’Sarsaparilla l Which makes rich, healthy'blood, and thus gives strength to the nerves, elaso ticity to the muscles, vigor to the brain and health to the whole body.

And it is a perfectly laudable and natural ambition. \Vom- en are born to sway the hearts and minds of men as much by their beauty and attractiveness, as by the subtler charms of goodness and purity. And vet, how few women attain the beauty which should be theirs, and in those few who are beautiful, how quick- ly their beauty fades! This is wrong. Women are naturally beautiful—at least of pleasing and attractive appearance— and in nearly all the cases where women lack these physical charms, the fault is their own. Good looks and beautiful forms are entirely dependent upon good health. One must have strong nerves and ptire blood to be beautiful. Failing to have these, is to fall of good looks and fine figure, and the woman who becomes broken in health, eyeu in the slightest degree, will see her beauty gradually fade. The moment Women rea'fze this. that moment will they undersiand that physical beauty is a matter within their own control. And just how it is so,'is told by Mrs. Frances Lytle, of 2 Hunter Ave ,RoclIr-ster, N. Y. “I Was very pale and delicate,” she EMS, “and had no color, out had female weakness with leucorrhoea, and suffered great pain at my periods. am now well,thanks to Dr.Greene’s Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy. My face is plump and my cheeks red, my complexion pure. When I began the use of this remedy, 1 only weighed 81 pounds, and now I weigh 115 pounds and am still gaining. Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is a wonderful medicine. I have not had any trouble since I began taking it.” Miss Emma Marlatt, of Oxford, N, J., says: “I have been a sufferer for ten years, and the victim of a large tumor weighing twenty pounds, which I had removed, and I suffered untold agony for many months after. I tried the skill of many physicians, all of whom utterly failed to give me any relief. I then used that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and after using a few bottles I was entirely cured. To those who have been suffering from various diseases, and have failed to find any relief, I am, today, a living testimony and witness to the wonderful and marvelous curative powers of this great medicine. To persons suffering from various diseases, I earnestly rec- ommend the use of this remedy if they would be cured. For further informa- WHAT THEY ALL SAY. ‘ Beautiful Women Give Some Woderful Information Concerning Female Beauty. Think it Will Take'Women' Long to We, do not This idea. ‘ tion I will willingly, cheerfully, and promptly respond.” Miss Delia '1‘. Shea, of 210 Lexington Street, East Boston, Mass, makes the followmg statement : “About seven years ago I began to feel very uncomfortable after easing, so much so that I found it impossible to keep the lightest food on my stom- ach. I grew worse for three months, so I was obliged to give up work and go the hospital. I tried many remedies and doctors, but they did me no good. A friend advised me to try Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. -I began using it, and after a week felt much better. When I had taken four bottles the weakness in my stomach was all gone, and I could eat anything Without distress, while a short time be- fore I found it imposmble for weeks at a time to even drink a glass of milk and keep it in my stomach. » I was unable to Wear anything but a loo-so dress, and I did not go out of the house for months at a time. I am now cured ofinv troubles, and am well and strong. My cure is wonderful. Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve. remedy has done what the hospitals, doctors and other medicines could not do. . It is a splendid medicine, and I urge every suffering person to use it. I love to think of the good it is doing, and wish everyone a ho is not perfectly well would take it.” Miss Bose McCarthy," of 347 East 87th St., New York oily, writes as follows: "For a long time I was troubled with nervousness and violent headaches. I would lie awake nearly all night, and was in constant misery. Previous to this, my complexion was a very healthy color, but now It became very bad. I took three bottles of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy and was en‘ tirely cured. My nervous- , ._ , ness and headaches left me, ~ - my good complexion re- turned, and I slept perfect- ly. I can safely say to every- body who is suffering, just give it a trial, and you will be cured. I hope my statement will find relief for many peo- ple who do not know the benefit of such a wonderful medicine.” It is thus evident that women can get well—can secure perfect health, strong nerves and pure blood by using the great vital restorative, Dr, Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. If, therefore, women will maintain their health and strength by this remarkable medicine, we will guarantee them beauty of face and form, the bright eyes, pink cheeks and clear complexion of youth, and the rounded form, grace- ful lines and elastic step of vigorous phvsieal development. This remedy can be used without hesitation by all, as it is purely vege- table and is endorsed and prescribed by physicians; indeed, it is the pre- scription and discovery'of our most successful physician in curing nervous and chronic diseases.

The untimely death of Water Com- missioner Coolidge, imposes upon our city administration a very grave duty. Probably no event of equally serious importance to the welfare of this com- munity, will claim the attention of our city council during the continuance in office of its present membeis. Before the'.r expiration of service, it is more than probable, a very large sum of money will have to be raised and ex- pended and»:- the direction of the W ater Coma: ~ .- " hers for improving our present storr ;. -~.:i voirs or construct- inga new a .. .:1 providing a new main of will. opacity to convey the water to city. These condi- tions render ihe selection of a thor- oughly capable and competent succes- sor to" Dr. Coolidge, of the gravest im. portance. Not every man, willing and perhaps anxious to serve the public gratuitously, is just the person fitted for the place under these exceptional circumstances. A man of general in. telligence, of familiarity with trench- digging and masOmwork, is not only needed, but also a man of financial ex- perience and capability, in whom the public have full confidence. The names of the following good citizens are free- ILQ position, viz: Maj. Gen. D. N. Couch, Gen. Charles Olmstead, Capt. Isaac Selleck, Err-Burgess Charles P. Turney, City Councilman, A. C. Wheeler, Wil- liam H. Smith, E. L. Boyer, J. A. Osborn and Dr. Gregiry. These are good men and true, every one of them, yet it is evident several of them would not accept the work and worry of the position, however hard it were urged upon them ; others named could not, if they would, because of the exacting pressure of their own business. The late Mr. Moody made a specially ly mentioned in connection with the ' good commissioner for the chief reasons that he took a deep interest in the nec- essary work and had leisure time he could devote to a constant personal supervision of its affairs, and had a fortune sufficient to enable him to do it all gratuitously. Ele moreover, was conservative in action and especially prudent and pains-taking in all matters involving expenditure of the people’s money. He was familiar with and could grasp large as well as small financial transactions and possessed the perfect confidence of the public. We already have two energetic and faithful Commissioners in Messrs. Mead and Treadwell, but both these gentle- men are engrossed and closely confined by their private business engagements. They deserve and should have selected to work with them, some man who has added to the other requisites, leisure time that he could afford to give to the performance of its responsible duties. N 0 man pressed and overwhelmed with his own private business, should be asked to make the sacrifice of time the Commissionership necessarily will re- quire, with no other compensation than the stinted and uncertain gratitude of ' our taxpayers. The GAZETTE has no favorite and not It would be satis-' andidate to urge. fled with any one named above. Gen. Couch is an earth-work engineer by his military education; Glen. Olmstead is a man faithful to every trust and of all ' around intelligence; Capt. Selleck ad- ded to his known carefulness, has large and wide business and financial experi. ence, and is familiar with such mecaan- , ical details of construction as are likely to be required; Mr. Turney is a thoroughly practical man, experienced in carpenter, mason and trenching work and known to have taken a very deepiaterest in our water system and ' crib" to have already spent a great deal of time in its investigation. He has time, the ability and we think also the willingness, to serve the public in this position were he asked to do so. Any one Of the City Councilmen named, would admirably fill the bill. Perhaps the ideal one is Mr. Wheeler, for the reason among others, that during the summer, he is not rushed by his own manufacturing business and could thus give attention to the duties of Commis- sioner at the season when most time and attention are required. No man has taken a deeper interest in the welfare of our city than Dr. Gregory and could his time be spared from his large and exacting practice, he would make a model Commissioner. There is no need of haste in the selection, however, as :no important outlays will be attempt- ed this winter and our City Council can wisely wait and thoroughly consider the very important matter, to the end’ that the very best man for the place, all things considered, be selected. While upon the subject, it is proper to suggest that one man at least of the Water Commission, should be properly paid for the time and expense of being an active, practical head or Superin- tendent of the works. He should be such a man as could tell the people, for instance, at next Friday evening’s meet ing, if our city’s need of more water could not be adequately provided for by raising the gate-way, now several feet below the line of the dam at the Grape reservoir, so that the overflow there should hereafter run over the dam and also if the dam of the upper reservoir might not be also raised several feet and at small cost, so that nearly double our present supply could be held in reserve in seasons of extreme drought, and all at a moiety of the cost of now inaugurating the scheme for building a third reservoir. City taxpayers would also like to know if the work of completing the new sixteen inch main of which some two miles and more has already been. laid, should not be taken up and pro- greased, before any other enterprise is entered upon. It has been asserted by competent engineerslhat when the water is low in the Grape reservoir and the pressure thus taken off, it is im- possible to run down the water we now have in our two storage reservoirs and thus supply the needs of our city. As a matter Of fact, the GAZETTE is assured on competent authority that this is just what did happen during the drought of last summer. Messrs. City Councilmen, appoint a Water Commissioner who can with unquestioned honesty and accuracy inferm amuch abused, long suffering and tax over-burdened people on these vital questions anent our public water.

" FEATURES OF THIS SEASON’S GRAND OPERA IN NEW YORK. the Ivar Popular Bostonian“ have a Now a... in “Prince Annual.” Ada nail-c Again Before Metropolitan Audiences “The Coming Woman" not Successful. “The Coming Woman” was not at al‘ politely received when she presented he; card at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. I- was found at once that the lady hat assumed a. name that was not hers, tha‘ she was an impostor—dramatically speak ing—of the very worst type. There’s“ much in a name, Juliet to the contrary notwithstanding, and nine out of every ten persons who had gone to witness the first performance expected a play, no . doubt, that dealt with a problem—a play that contained many intellectual subtle- ties and a. new truth of two. Why? For no other reason, I am sure, but because the play’s title smacked Of modernity, of the sexual question, Of Noraism, Hedda Gablerism and all that sort of thing. Instead of which the spectator was con- fronted with the tawdriest kind of melo- drama—with a heroine who is a horse doctor, and an old scapegracc of a fat-her who had contracted a mock marriage and committed forgery,with a polished villain who brags at the club of his triumphs over the weaker sex, with an incognito uncle who lends money at good fat inter- est and saves his niece from a circus life, and with a. monstrous gray horse which played a most exacting part like a scholar and a gentleman. Revivals and resuscitation: will not alone make up the repertoire this season at the Metropolitan Opera House. Many new works are promised. Withinamonth it is expected that Bemberg’s “Elaine” will have been produced, with Mme. Melba and M. Jean de Reszke in the roles they created in London when the work was first represented at Covent Garden. Round about the same period Verdi’s last contribution to the literature of the the lyric stage, “Falstaff,” will be seen, with M. Victor Maurel in his original part of the Fat Knight. Misc Sibyl San. derson’s arrival early in January will be followed by a production of “Esclaro monde,” the title role of which Massenet wrote with a special view to Miss Sander- son’s characteristic of voice and style. The same composer’s “Thais" and Saint- Saens’ musical dramatization of the imo pious,though luckily beautiful “Phryne,” are both promised. Not a bad list, even though the prospectus proposes and the manager disposes. “Elaine” will in all probability .be the first novelty of the season. It is the first essay of M. H. Bemberg in grand opera. “It is my first work of large dimensions—my first serious work for the stage,” said M. Bemberg a few days ago. _ Corbett’s business has increased 20 per cent., according to the dcspatchea, since the death of Fitzsimmons’s sparring part- ner. This goes to show the thoroughly commercial nature of prize fighting at the present time, and how directly free advertiziiig of pugiliats affects their theatrical fortunes. It is evident now that the CorbettFitzsimmons match will not be fought next fall, for “Lanky , Bob” will not get through his. trial until » ! well along in the summer, and will thus be deprived of the time for training stipulated in the articles of agreement. It will be easy enough, however, to move the date of the fight a. year or two ahead, in case Fitzsimmons is obliged to serve the State meanwhile, so that Corbett and the man he is matched to fight will con- tinue to figure as prize pugilists without facing one another for a long time to come. It would seem to be better to accept both men, as actors, and give up all discussion about them as fighters. Corbett does not want to fight again. He is a shrewd, hardworking, money-making man, without brutal instincts, and with a desire to get ahead. He has been aided by luck thus far to an extraordinary ex- tent, and it is likely that nothing will force him into the ring again, despite all the agreements and incessant advertising which he manages to get. Nowadays scenery and costumes count for almost as much as music and words in the success of a comic opera. Bearing this fact in mind, the Bostonians have spared no pains in the preparation Of the stage pictures for “Prince Ananias.” the new comic opera. by Victor Herbert and Francis N eilson, which is at the Broad- way Theatre. The scenes of the opera, which is in two acts, are laid in France in the sixteenth century. The cast will be as follows: George Frothingham, Wm. Castlemaii, Peter Lang, W. H. McDonald, Eugene Cowles, H. C. Barnabee, Jerome Sykes, J seph Sheehan, Josephine Bart- lett, Eloise Morgan, Caroline Hamilton and Jessie Bartlett Davis. After an absence of a year, during which time she has visited Europe, Ada Behan is again in New York at Daly’s. Miss Rehan opened in “Twelfth N ight.” She is supported by Mr. James Lewis, Mr. Herbert Gresham, Mr. John Craig, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Mr. Charles Wheat- leigh, Mr. Lloyd Daubiguy, Miss Sybil C trlisle, Miss Lily Post and Mr. Henry Darcy. “Twelfth Ni~ht will be presented for only a few nights and will be followed in quick succession by “Love on Crutch- es,” “The Railroad of Love," “Taming the Shrew,” “The Magistrate” and “The Wonder.” None of these plays will run more than twelve nights, and after this series has been completed a number of novelties will be produced.

Van- derbilt Have Taken Legal__Actlou ‘ NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Every indication today pointed towardfictual legal action between Mr. and Mrs. WrK. Vanderbilt over their marital difficulties. Mr.‘~_Van- derbilt is now in midocean aboard the Teutonic bound ultimately for, the Medi- terranean. where 'he and a patio! con- genial spirits will finish the winter on his yacht, the Valiant. ' - _ Certain it isqthat husband and wife em- ployed counsel to adjust their diflerences. They will never live together again, it is said, but Mr. Vanderbilt has settled a handsome annual income for life on his wife—$250, 000 is the figure mentioned. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew stated that he was counsel for Mr.Vanderbilt, but de clined to discuss his affairs in these words: “I am Mr. Vanderbilt’s counsel. , I have associated with me”— But just at this vital point of his ’discourse Mr. Depew stopped short. ”Mrs. Vanderbilt’s counsel,” he said, continuing on another tack, “are Mr. Choa‘te and Mr. Duer. Perhaps you can get something out of Mr. Choate. I can- not talk, acting under instructions. ” ' , From what Mr. Depew did say it can be gathered that both sides employed man so]. Whether or not a divorce action is really pending could not be gathered from‘ any of Mr. Depew’s remarks. A Fatal Snowslide. SPOKANE, Wash. Jan. 18. —A snowslldc about ten miles from Kalso, B. 0., killed three miners named Moore, McMillan and Mitchell, owners of the Eureka mine, who. Were on their way to the mine from Kalso.

Two miners working on the Silverton mine in the slide’s path also are missing. The Guatemalan Boundary Squabble. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 18. -—-It is reported again that negotiations between Mexico and Guatemala over the international boundary dispute have come to a complete standstill. The particular reason for the cessation of diplomatic negotiations is not altogether known, but it is generally con- ceded that nothing more will 'be done un- til the arrival of the Central American en- lvoys named by two of the southern repub- ics. The Atlanta. Exposition. ATLANTA, Jan. 18.—Letters received by the department of publicity from United States consuls in Europe report considera- ble interest among foreign manufacturers in the Cotton States and International ex- position, and especially in Bradford, the seat of the woolen industry in England. Consul Claude Meeker writes that the Bradford manufacturers are largely inter- ested in the southern enterprise. Indian Territory Government. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-—-Representatives of the five civilized tribes of Indians were given a. hearing by the senate committee on Indian affairs today. They opposed any arbitrary change by the national govern- ment in the method of controlling afi'alrs, arguing that the Indians held their posses- sions through treaty rights, and that they were competent to attend._to their own af- fairs. - ' ' - Verdict For a Circus Owner. TRENTON, Jan. 18.—Justice Reed of the supreme court today instructed the jury to render a. verdict for the defendant in the suit for $25, 000 damages instituted against James A.
