An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of
the town of Norwalk, and is intended
to embrace a complete list of the busi-

what facilities we have to offer toman-

Hawaii ls All Right.
All that can be learned from Wash-
ington concerning the Hawaiian affair
strengthens the confidence already ex-
pressed that the President and the. Sec-
retary of State understand the situa-
tion better than most outsiders, and can
be trusted to do what is requisite for
the interests of the United States and
of humaity. The Commissioners ar-
rived in Washington yesterday and are
expected. to have an interview with the
It is said now, and apparently with
truth, that the action of the American
minister and the commander of the
Boston was in accordance with instruc-
tions already given by the Department
of State. They were not to precipitate
the evidently impending revolution,
but they were to be ready in the event
of any disturbance to ward off the in-
terference of any foreign power. ,This
represents exactly the established poli-
cy of this country and it is this policy
that Mr. Harrison may be expected to
maintain. '
,It is a matter of congratulation that
this grave question has no party poli-
tics in it and will be decided calmly and
on patriotic grounds.

The Statue of Nathan Hale.
The fame of Nathan Hale, the martyr
of the Revolutionary War, which has
been perpetuated in song and story,
will receive an additional tribute, says
the Tribune, when the bronze statue
of him is put in place at Broadway and
Chambers street. About $10,000 was
raised by the New York Society Sons
of the Revolution among its members
and friends for this purpose. Applica-
tion for the site so appropriately se-
lected was made to the Park Depart-
ment several years ago, and the per-
mission was readily granted, but owing
to the fact that the statue has received
much attention and favorable criticism
abroad, it was thought inadvisable to
use haste in sending it to this country.
The statue was completed three years
ago, and since that time has been ex-
hibited in Paris, London and Berlin.
The gold medal of the Salon of 1891
was awarded to the sculptor, Frederick
McMonnies, for it, and the following
year it received honorable mention,
On the anniversary of Nathan Hale’s
death, next June, the corner-stone of
the statue will be laid in City Hall
Park at the corner of Broadway and
Chambers street. The pose of the
statue of the martyr, with his arms
bound, appears to suggest his words:
“I regret that I have but one life to
lose for my country.” The height of
the statue is eight feet, and it will have
a pedestal of the same dimension,
which is to be designed by the firm of '
McKim, Meade & White, the architects
of the Washington Arch, and many
other notable structures.
Frederick McMonnies is a young
American sculptor. He was born in
Brooklyn about thirty-five years ago,
and was a pupil of Augustus St. Gau-
dens, by whose advice. he studied
abroad for several years. He lives por-
manently in Paris, and has done much
meriotorious work, the J. S. T. Stran-
ahan statue having been designed by
him, as well as the fountain which is to
be placed in the World’s Fair grounds
at Chicago. A bronze statue of this
young patriot martyr now adorns the
state capitol at Hartford.

William H. Tweedy Dead.
William H. Tweedy, a native of Dan-
bury, and for many years one of its
most prominent figures in business and
politics, died at his home in New York
city yesterda of paralySis.
Mr. Twee y was born in Danbury
May 19, 1827. He spent his boyhood
there and was educated in the local
schools. While yet in his minority he
went to Charleston, S. 0., where he be-
came a clerk in the batting firm of F.
D. Fanning & Co., with which his
father, A. E. Tweedy, was connected.
He remained in the south several years
and returned to Danbury to take an
interest in the firm of Crofut, Tweedy
& Co. The other members of the firm
were his brother, Theodore S. Tweedy,
and Henry Crofut. " .
In 1867 the firm of Crofut, Tweedy &
Co. was consolidated with T. E. St E.
Tweedy, under the name of Tweedy &
Co. The. firm was organized into a
corporation in .1871. William Tweedy
remained a member of 'the corporation
until 1881, when he retired from active
business life. About the same time he
severed his connection with the firm of
Tweedy & 00., of New York, of which
he had been a member.
His health was not good and he went
to Denver, 001., hoping to be benefited.
He returned East about two years
later somewhat improved. and made
his home in New York city, where he
has since resided.
About three years ago he was strick-
en with paralysis, but not seriously.
Later he was stricken a second time,
and was again fortunate in its not be-
ing severe. A week ago he received
the third shook, which terminated fa-
tallliy. _
ewas a very genial man, and one
who was a warm friend to all who en-
joyed his confidence. ' ,

A _‘ V' «*-
Fraud ln the State.
Beforethe State tax on the towns
was abolished two or three years ago
there were plenty of example of the
trick of keeping down the local grand
list so as to “beat” the commonwealth.
Now there is another case on a narrow-
er_ andme’aner scale, .says the Hartford
Times. ‘It is broughtgout in the report
of the Superintendentfiof the State Asy-
lum for the Insane, who- finds that al-
though pauperism in- the State. hasn’t
decreased, the number of insane-"pan:
pers sent by the towns to the asylum
has fallen during six years from 186 to
137. _ Meanwhile, on the other hand,
the “indigents” (poor insane. not pau-
pers)_ sent to the asylum by’ friends or
relatives have risen from 151 to 199.
Here is the trick‘: for paupers the
town have to pay at the asylum $2.50 a
week. The indigents, Owinggtothefall
in the price of board, get imam-about
a dollar less. Hence'town "s'électmen
make their paupers pose, as indigents,"
and save money at the State’s expense. -

houses, and they adjourned to Tues-

which requires the Judiciary commits

Norwalk Hospital.
To THE PEOPLE on THE TOWN OF
N ORWALK :'
The HOSpital will soon be a reality.
The moment that we can secure a
house or part of a house which is habi-
table, we will furnish it at once, and
make ready to, care for special cases of
Sickness ortinjury. Such an ar range-
ment Will give us temporary quarters.
How soon a permanent building will
be erected depends on your sympathy,
generosity and co-Operation. Be as-
sured of this, the Ooganization is per-
manent. Soon after the public meet-
ing in the Armory, those persons most
interested decided .to organize legally.
They drew up Articles of Corporation
and took steps to obtain a charter as
the Norwalk Hospital Association.
Nothing further could then be done.
Last December, however, the corpora-
tors met. adopted the amended Arti-
cles and’ elected officers and directors.
Mr. J. H. Ferris is President, Mr. Bob-
ert VanBuren, Vice President; Mr. J.
A. Pinneo, Secretary; Mr. Charles B.
Stevens, Treasurer. Copies of the
“Articles” have been lodged with the
Secretary of State and the Town Clerk.
The treasurer'is under bonds (of $2500.)
The Association is, therefore, legally
established and ready to do the mac;
tical work. An important step has al-
ready been taken.- A most desirable
lot (over 250 feet square) has been pur-
chased from the Somme estate on the
N. Y.._ and New Haven Turnpike. The
larger part’ of the money came from
the 'Hat Trimmers’ Association. The
noble prOJect of a hospital started with
these earnest women, and they have
done the: lion’s share of workin and'
giving. We will always have an need
their help. Other societies and some
individuals too have been generous.
But now we appeal to you, the people
of Norwalk, to aid. It- is one of the
grandest charities in which all should
take an interest and have a part. Come
forward With your money. Dollars
will encourage more than words. $5
constitutes a person a member for one
year ; $25 constitutes a person a mem~
ber for ten years; ($50 paid within a
year) makes aperson a life member;
$200 (paid within a year) makes a per-
son a life-director; $500 (paid within a
year)_ makes a pers0n a vice president
for life. Let us have an hundred
yearly members at once, and at least
twenty life members. Make payments
to Mr. Chas. B. Stevens, Treasurer,
South Norwalk. ‘ We depend upon
your contributions to rent and provide
for- our temporary quarters. As soon as
there is money enough on hand, over
and_ above running expenses, we will
begin to build. Now is the time to
give. Any further information can be
obtained of the officers, and Executive
Committee. Respectfully Yours,

Proposed Business Change.
We have it on gOOd authority that
Mr. George H. Raymond will retire
from the furniture and undertaking
business in the Spring. He will dispose
of the same to his two sons, David and
LeGrand- Raymond, the former of
whom has been for some time identi-
fied with his father in the business, and
of which he has a practical and thorough
knowledge. It is understood that when
the new firm is formed he will have
charge of the undertaking branch.
LeGrand, who at present is employed
at the Central National Bank, will de-
vote his time to the furniture depart-
ment. Both are active, ho'nest young
men and will no doubt make a success
of the business. Mr. Geo. H. Raymond
retires from a well established business
which he has won by hard work and
strict attention to every detail. He
rightly thinks that he has earned a rest
from business cares and will take it.
The GAZETTE wishes the new firm
abundant success.

fiuperlor Court Appointments
Now that the vacancies on the su-
preme'court bench are filled speculad
tion becomes rife as to the probable
nominees'for places on the superior
court boneh, and if Governor Morris
does not select one of the several law-
yers from this count who .have peti-
isappomtment in
the camp of democrats. '
That one Bridgeport man Will be se-
lected is generally believed says the
Post, and there are many democrats
who do not think the governor Will
choose a man like G. W. Wheeler, who
would net be acceptable to all of his
party, in preference to Attorneys Dan-
iel Davenport or M. W. Seymour,‘
either of whom would b_e_most credi-
table additions to the judiciary.
Attorney Davenport’s supporters are
confident that Governor Morris, if the
wish of the bar is to be recognized,w11
name Mr. Davenport as one of the new
judges. Attorney Davenport’s petition
is signed by all except nine 0 the law-
upon the petitions of other aspirants.
He also has the support of all the mem-
bers of the Danbury bar, all but two
of the Norwalk bar, and. a. number of
Stamford lawyers. With this solid back-
ing Mr. Davenport’s supporters feel
sure that they will secure recogni-
tion. _
But Governor Morris is reticent
about his purpose’s. Mr. Wheeler ad-
mitted a shortt' 6 ago in an interView
that he had nottcginferred With Gover-
nor Morris perébnally. From this it
can be inferred that he has had no di-
rect offer of a place on the bench. At-
so working hard to secure his appomt-
ment, and James H. Olmstead of Stam-
ford is also an aspirant for the honor.

His Resignation Assured.
Rem-Henry W. Davies will be forced,
so report says, to resign his pastorate
of the Congregational church at Greens
Farms. A Sun correspondent portrays
the situation as follows: ‘
“ His enemies say it is for .the good
of Christianity ; his warmest friends
say it is for his own good and to.keep
the community from gorng to pieces,
Take it all around there is such a pet
of scandal, backbiting and general
meanness bubbling and bOiling that the
pastor would seem to be scalded from
head to foot. And when 'you come to
sift the whole business there is nothing
in it, nothing that would create a tu-
mult outside of a little narrow _v111age.
“The Congregational society has
been in existence about 150 years. and
to-day is largely made. up of the de-
scendants of the original settlers of
Greens Farms. The people who'be-
long to the church are divided into
three camps, the old school. the new
school, and the straddlers, who admire
the new school, but are not quite cer-
tain whether or not it is just a ‘leetle
devilish.’ The old school had every-
thing its own way until about four
years ago. At the beginning of the
century the society, after a careful Sift-
ing'of candidates, got a minister who
presided over their spiritual affairs for
fifty years. When he went to his re-
ward there were a dozen years of ‘ fret-
ting with unsatisfactory candidates,and
then Rev. J. P. Relyea became pastor
and stayed at Greens Farms for. 27
years. But the old school got peevish
about him because he made some tim-
id attempts to rejuvenate the church
and induced him to resign. After some
little looking. about they settled, in
January, 1880 upon a young English-
man named Henry W. DaVies, just
graduated from the Yale Theological
assembly. He was brought on and test-
ed publicly as a preacher, and privately
as to his theological VleWS .by several
aged men of the congregation, . skilled
in all the close points as to election,free
will and predestination. They exam-
ined him with the greatest care. .Then
they pronounced him theologically
sound, and he was duly called and in-
stalled.” .
Subsequently, as the article goes-on
to say, Mr. Davies gave offense to a
leading member of the church throu 11
his selection of a boarding place. . is
love of outdoor sports also seemed in-
consistent with the conventional ideas
of ministerial decorum,_ and he. further
gave offense by expressionswhich were
taken to indicate a leaning to the
“ new school” of theology. A_fre_edom
of utterance in respect to the singing of
the church choir tended to bring upon
him disfavor. The res1gnation of Mr.
Davies will be presented to the church .
