with contempt on the anonymous SANDER
ing reptile.
Mrs Ravens, wife of Mr. Horace Havens
pressman at the Courant office, while visit
ing some relatives in Chicago last week
took sick and died very suddenly Tn
body arrived Tuesday morning and wa
buried from her late residence No. L
Walnut street.
The reason stated for the union printer
scheme of having a label imprinted OF
Hartford papers working under the rule
of the Union being abandoned is
that the International Union is about tt
have trade mark copyrighted to furnish
all offices in the country working under it,
rules.
For the benefit of whatever anarchists
and other hungry tramps that may be-
around Hartford and vicinity, desire
to extend the announcement that the stock
of death dealing provisions at the State
arsenal has been increased this week by
10000 rounds, as a present from the
national Government
A man named Joseph Freeman is at the
city hospital from the effects of dose of
Paris green he had taken after being dis
covered as a bigamist. 1t is very likely
that after Joseph RECEIVERS he will find him
self not quite so much of free man he
used to be. His first wife is in Windsor
Locks, while No. 2 resides In this city.
Our late neighbor, Mr.. z. E. Sheehan of
the letter carrier service was rejoicing last
week about the time The EXAMINER went
to press, over the arrival of bouncing
boy" and thought to elude all journalistic
vigilance. But if we 'got left" then we
hasten to retaliate now by quitting him in
the papers," The boy is to be christened
Robert-after the editor and Joseph, in
consideration of the doctor.
Mr.. H. B. Hale of East Hartford, editor
of the Weekly Gazette, accompanied by
his wife, will soon leave for an extended
western trip, visiting Chicago, Milwaukee,
St. Paul, Farg, Dakota, Kansas City and
other points. This must in some way
suggest the enterprise of Mr. Hale, whose
paper is not yet year old. The Gazette is
published for the towns of East Hartford
South Windsor and Glastonbury, and is
continually growing in circulation and in
fluence. - ...

Socialism. Visitors are expected in Hart
ford on September Sth.

Norris, and sister of the Rev. Father
Hughes of St. Patrick's, was buried from
that church Monday morning. A solemn
requiem high mass was sung by the Rev.

the funeral sermon. Twenty priests were
present and assisted at the mass. Mrs.
Norris leaves six children. DR.. Joseph
A. Coogan, John. Grogan, Calvin E. Lilli-
bridge, James Donahue, Thomas Lawlor

Our advertising patrons will be pleased
to learn that the circulation of The EXAM
INER for the past month has been going up
steadily every week. This is the work of
our agent, Mr.. D. w. White, late of the
Naugatuck Agitator, especially selected for
this mission. We are free to confess, how
ever, that our motive for desiring a more
extended mailing list, is not so much to
enrich our patrons, as to strive to wake
up the workers and save them from
becoming, or rather forever remaining, the
prey of the hungry politicians. And we
intend to continue the work until all the
available ground in the State is covered.
We shall do it too without any unnecessary
self putting, lying or misrepresentation,
which seems to be the stock in trade of
so many papers without principles, in these
days of sham and hypocrisy.
There was trouble in the Hartford base
ball family this week. Photographer
Stuart, one of the directors, was directed
to take seat elsewhere than on tina grand
stand, when presenting his stockholders
ticket at the Newark Hartford game,
Tuesday, for non conforming with some
previous assessment AS Mr.. Stuart was
Obliged to sit in the broiling sun through
the exercises, he naturally grew warm; and
his mind reverting to a $500 check recently
made payable to the treasurer of the
fraternity to meet the hard earned de-
mands of ''the boys" and to which the
name of G. 7. Stuart was appended: and
the thought of which served to allay not
the heat of the sun nor the insult under
which he was smarting, Immediately caused
him to strike out in bee line for the
treasury of the corporation and show his
attachment therefor. Wednesday was
the day to declare dividends" but no dizzy
came, and the boys declared it a "foul tlp;"
and it looks as if the whole club would
|Estrike out" And oh, what a blessing
that would be to the peace and quiet OF the
city.
"CELEsTIAL~ SONGs.'
Celestial Songs" is the title of volume
of 1873 pages of original songs by b. M
Lawrence M. D. of Hartford. These songs
are set to music, seventy five pieces OF
which composed by him, are entirely new,
and the others are choice selections. The
songs are very creditable to the poetlcal as
we'll as the musical genius of the author;
and the sentiments are in keeping with the
best and most advanced thoughts of the
age They breathe the spirit of love and
human brotherhood, and are redolent with
the inspiration that comes from belief In
spirit communion, and in that of happy
hereafter, as the natural sequence of we'll
doing in this life Temperance and Labor
Reformers will here find songs to cheer and
uplift their spirits in their social or public
gatherings, and to encourage them IN their
banefcent work To all believers In moral
progress and liberal thought we can espec-
iallv commend this neat little volume,
which is placed at the very low price OF
80 cents,
