WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:
That our selectmen could employ the
ableébodi'ed men at the almshouse to
good advantage in picking up loose
stones on the town roads.
That it is a mistake to rush the sea-
son and cloy the appetite with vegeta-
bles and fruit which, however carefully
transported, have lost their pristine
freshness, instead of waiting for the
delicious products of our own gardens.
That there is no habit so destructive
tohuman sanity and happiness as the
porcelain habit. The rum habit is not
to be compared with if in terrors. And
when it comes to‘a mania for porcelain,
you have the worst possible aspect of
the matter, because porcelains are a
tremendously fragile and unsubstantial
basis on which torest one’s happiness.
That it is still possible to wear a mil-
itary title in this town without know-
ing anything in particular about war.
That one has only to glance around
to see the so-called gentlemen of to-day
elbow his way everywhere, to see him
smoke in the presence of ladies, to note
how he will remain seated and leave a
lady to open the door for herself, and
to listen to the conversation with which
he favors the fairer sex, are but in-
stances of the style of behavior to which
we are becoming accustomed. Of
course the plea put forward by him is
that the girl and woman of the period
are descending to his level and there-
fore must not be astonished at being
treated as equals.
Should the present dry season con-
tinue a few days longer the grass crop
will be endangered, say our local horse-
men, which means high prices for hay
next fall and winter.
Late arrivals at the Norwalk Hotel
include L. O. Lusk, Unionville; Fred.

Master Willard Comstock after his
phenomenal catch of flat fish, wound up

measles. He has been a restive prison

flowers and his—bicycle.
Hon. Dennis T. Kelly, secretary and
general manager of the McMatron
Thermograph Co., with headquarters
in New York city was in town to-day
and made several calls upon old-time
friends. In 18783-9 Mr. Kelly was pro-
prietor of the Utica N. Y. Republican,
universally known as“Roscoe Conk-
ling’s home organ,” and is one of these
gentlemen- whose friends are legion.
It is a singular coincidence that just
as soon as Cashier Curtis read of the
terrible defalcation of the President of
a noted New York bank, he rushediup
"to Jackson’s and bought himself a bicy-
cle. We now expect to see his door-
yard all tornin and himself all covered
with bruises and plasters, in learning
to ride the untamed steed, but no one
will ever see Curtis wheeling it to Can-
ada, if he is a bank cashier.

school wrote to Manager Frohman,.who
is to present “ The Wife ” this evening
in the Opera House: “ I have always
held that the surest way to. counteract
whatever of evil there might be in the
theater was for moral and religious peo-
ple—and especially ministers and teach-
ers—to encourage wholesome plays both
by their presence and good words.
Even good people have at last settled
down to the belief that the drama may
be made a force in education. I am one
of many who have felt a genuine inter-
est in your efforts to present whole-
some plays and encouraging native tal-
ent. In both authors and actors, your
production of “The Wife” has kept
your promise good, and I desire to ex-
press my sense of gratification over the
result by asking you to set apart for
me 300 seats for my teachers and pu-
pils for Friday evening, December 23.

Q
A Notable Pastorate Ended.
Last night ended one of the most
notable pastorates with which the e'ccle-
siastical history of Norwalk so richly
abounds. Rev. CHARLES M. SELLECK
: completed, with yesterday, his Rector-
ship of St. Paul’s church, Covering a
period of faithful, active service, of
twenty-six years. His labors, during
this period, have been something pro-
digious, as well as rendered in a spirit
of self-sacrifice and entire devotion to
the Master and the people of his charge
and of his unselfish love. During this
long period of his ministrations he has
officiated in many of the churches of
his denomination, between the Har-
lem and Connecticut rivers, and read
the burial service over departed loved
ones, at very many of the cemeteries in
Fairfield county. He has joined in the
bonds of holy wedlock, and adminis-
tered baptism to great numbers of
those seeking these churchly rites. He
received from his predecessor, Rev.
Dr. Cooper Mead (a name illustrious in
the annals of the church) a membership
of about three hundred, and leaves the
church with a- present membership of
six hundred. He has established three
new Mission churches and kept up four,
and has taken the initiatory steps to-
wards the establishment of another, the
much needed Mission church at East
Norwalk. He has also had the care of
St. John’s Chapel at Lewisboro, New
York, and for a recent period, the
church of the Holy Trinity at West-
port.
Mr. Selleck’s last public service at
St. Paul’s was his tender and touching
farewell to the Sunday School, which
he concluded by reading the benedic-
tion from the old Communion table of
Rev. Dr. Bowden—Drs. Kemper’s and
Mead’s predecessor, and which was ever
their particular care to preserve. It is
the Church’s solemn prayer for the
care of the Faithful, a prayer set in its
place in the prayer book by a former
Rector of St. Paul’s. His last official
act in the parish was the marriage, last
evening, of the daughter of the late
of St. Paul’s, whose child, with her
husband, were both devoted members
of the Sunday school. A
Mr. Selleck is the only rector, with a
single exception, who has twice held
the incumbency. His action in not
sooner resigning, if he were to do it at
all, and his final decision to do so now,
are matters that have been freely criti-
cised by his own church people and the
public. Whatever may have been the
reasons that prompted his actions, no
one who knows him doubts his own un-
selfish integrity of purpose and his deep
and abiding love for this ancient and
notable church—the first Episcopal
church consecrated in America.
Prior to devoting himself exclusively
to the ministry, Mr. Selleck was pro-
prietor of probably the largest and
most profitable boys’ collegiate school
in Connecticut. This, and all his bright
business prospects in life, he willingly
sacrificed for his greater love for the
special work of the Master and of His
church.

A—OQO
SCHEELE’S CASE.
It Will be Heard by the Board of
Pardons Next Month.
The final attempt to save Jacob
Scheele from the ignominious fate of
hanging will be made by Judge D. B.
Lockwood and H. J. Curtis, hislawyers
before the Board of Pardons, which
will convene at Hartford on the first
Monday in June. The lawyers were
successful in securing a new trial for
Scheele within two weeks of the day
set for his execution by Judge Torrance
before whom he was first tried. He
was convicted a second time at the term
of the Superior Court in May, 1890,
and was thereupon sentenced to be
hung on June 18, 1891.
In an extended notice of this “cele-
brated case,” the Bridgeport Standard
of last evening says: “It is generally
understood that his German friends in
Norwalk made up a big purse for his
defense and that this latest move on
the part of the lawyers was instituted
by Germans who hope to save the life
of their countrymen. States Attorney
Fessenden will doubtless strongly 01)-
pose the petition when the case comes
up before the board. The sentiment in
New Canaan has never changed since
the murder. Reputable. New Canaan-
ites have deplored the cold-blooded
murder of Constable Drucker and have
clamored for the fulfillment of the ex-
treme penalty.”
