Death of Senator Colquitt.
"Hon. Alfred E. Colquitt, United
States Senator from Georgia, who died
after a long paralytic ailment, had been
much in public life and was esteemed
asa‘manof many virtues and honorable
characteristics. He had barely passed
his maj ority when he served in the Mexi-
can_war. Forty years ago he was a
member of the lower house of Congress.
During the war of the rebellion he rose
to the distinction of a Confederate ma-
jor general. For six years he was Gov-
ernor of Georgia and at the time of his
death he. was serving his second term in
the Senate. In all the relations of life
the deceased Senator was a good citizen,
active in works of benevolence and
charity, assiduons in promoting the in:
terests and development of his State,
‘and as a legislator capable, conscien-
tious, and true to his convictions of
duty. His hands were unstained by the
defiling pitch of dirty politics, nor was
therethe slightest taint of corruption
found in his methods or in any of the
causes in which he actively interested"
himself. A thoroughly and consistent-
ly’good man, possessed of strong religL
ions beliefs and having at all times the
courage of his convictions,-‘he was a con-
spicuous figure at the Capitol and in the
state he served so conscientiously.
‘ The Good. Time Coming.
New. York:s’~“§' 'usiness men are en-
‘-
gagedin another \ibout with-the Bell.
Telephone Company, and are" now in-
sisting that the state legislature cut tel-
ephone rates very considerably. Just
what the joint committee of the senate
and assembly will recommend may not
yet be safely prophesied, but the com-
mittee cannot ignore the extraordinary
fact that New Yorkers are compelled
to pay $240 a year for the same service
which is rendered in London for $25 a
year. The argument of the protest-
ants might have been considerably
strengthened—as it perhaps was—by
authoritative statement as to the rela-
tive quality of the service. Singular
as it may seem to those who forever
insist on American superiority in every
line of advanced endeavor, the tele-
phone in England and France is a long
way ahead of the telephone in daily
use in the United States. By-andby
there'Will be competition in the busi.
ness, and then the public'may expect
to be well served at reasonable rates,
in that good time coming.
Old and Touch.
That dissipation shortens life and that
the use of liquor and tobacco lessens the
years are statements that are advanced
by earnest men and women and support-
by a strong array of facts. Yet every
now and then a career is called to pub-
lic attention which is a flat contradict
ion of these allegations. Such, for ex-
ample, is the case of Hugh Frcal, who
was arraigned in a New York police
court charged with intoxication. He
was, moreover, found guilty and fined.
Yet Hugh has lived in this world 101
years. His career has not been one of
total abstinence. -It is not claimed by
Mr. Frea‘l that the lengthening out of
‘his span of life is due to hisjimmoderate
use of spirituous liquors. He has, how-
ever, lived in spite of his drinking hab-
its. Therefore it would not be safe for
any young man who is ambitious of at-
taining patriarchal age to betake him-
self to the alluring cup. In fact Mr.
Freal’s case, while an astonishing one,
serves no useful purpose in pointing a
moral or adorning a tale. t may be
safely concluded that . he has a strong
: constitution and a tenacious vitality.
_ Norwalk Hospital.
The board of directors of the Nor-
walk Hospital met Tuesday evening,
and formally accepted-the new ambu-
lance. The amendment to the by-laws
in reference to holding meetings month-
ly instead of quarterly, was discussed.
Action upon the same will be taken at
the next meeting. It was the sense of
the board thatthe citizens should take
a morertactive interest in the hospital,
by waiting the same, and the clergy
were included. .

Joe Healey’s Letter. .
Some six months ago while‘h‘red.
Brady was secretary of the Norwalk
ting up change in the small pay envel-
opes furnished the company by the D.
M. Read 00., of Bridgeport, be dis-
covered under the flap of one the fol-
lowing address written In a neat femi-
nine hand:
Miss ELIZA HEBERT,
Morgan Envelope 00.,
Springfield. Mass.
Please correspond. _
Fred. studied the name for a minute
and then a thought struck .hlll]. Re-
posing on his desk was a. tin~type of
Joe. Healey, the Apollo of the stable,
taken with his hair cut short . and w1tn
a true Corbett pompadour in Harry
Leopold’s best style With Bob. in the
back ground. .
Seizing a pen Fred. quickly wrote a
love letter to Eliza that would have put
Congressman Breckinridge to shame.
Signing Joe’s name to the letter and on-
closing the tin-type Fred. strolled to
the post office and depos1ted It In Uncle
Sam’s mail box.
Weeks and then months sped by, and
although Fred. was on the lookout, no
reply came to his love letter. But time
makes all things even andon Monday
Joe was surprised to receive a dainty
envelope addressed to himself in a
lady’s hand and bearing the mark of
the Springfield post office. Not Wlsll-
ing to be disturbed he climbed the lad-
der leading to the hay loft. and break—
ing the seal read the followmg gushing
epistle:
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. April 1,’ 94.
DEAR J on :—-—Your letter was received a good
many months ago and I am sorry that I did
not answer it before.but if you will forgive
me this time I will promise to be more prompt-
in the future. _ .
Now, dear Joe,I don’t think that the tin-
type you sent resembles you in the least and
if you will kindly send mea picture of your-
self I will send you one of myself.
Well, dear J oe, I too like yourself am alone
in the world, being an orphan, and I would
like to settle down. I know you would make
an ideal husband. _ '
There are two friends of mine that work in
this shop who would like to correspond with
some young 1118.11. .
Now. dear Joe, lease answer soon. En-
closed you will fin a lock_of my hair. so will
remain Yours lov1n ly,
' ELIZA EBERT,
Morgan Envelope 00.,
pringfield, Mass.
The lock of hair enclosed was a bean-
tiful blond daintily tied With a blue silk
ribbon. .
Joe was completely paralyzed With
the words. of his unknown charmer,
and after kissing the lock With a I-w1sh-
you-werc-here kiss he placed it next
his heart and descended to earth and
duty. But the. love letter was too good
to keep and In hopes of getting'two
others to correspond With Eliza’s
‘ friends Joe very foolishly let Hen. Ma-
their and Gould Hoyt into the secret.
Here is where he made a mistake for it
was not ten minutes before Hen. and
Gould were willing to fight to see who
should have the best looking girl.
Whether Joe will continue the corre-
spondence he refuses to tell, but it has
been noticed by his fellow laborers at
the depot that he has Spruced up con-
siderable since Monday and is cultivat-
ing a moustache. '

Burned to Death.
Alphonso Abbott, aged fifty, and un-
married, who resided with his aged
father at Easton Center, was burned to
death while driving home'from West-
port Monday afternoon. In the ab-
sence of any positive knowledge as to
how the accident occurred it is believed

Andrews, a neighbor, to Westport in
the morning, and when the two started
to return they were drunk. People
living near Gray’s Mills, three miles
from the villiage, saw Abbotts clothing
in a blaze and lifted him from the wag-
on a’n’d rolled him in the street in a eu-
deavor to put out the blaze. Abbott

The state executive committee of the
Young Men’s Christian associations,
with headquarters at Bridgeport, has is-
sued the annual report. From it is
gleaned the following facts:
There are 24 associations in the state,
21 of which have 49 officers. Those
without paid ofiieers are in colleges. The
total membership is 7,394, a slight de-
crease from the previous year, owing to
the business depression. Eleven asso-
ciations own buildings costing $684,000.
Five own other. real estate valued at$2,-
700. Three report endowments of $70,-
000. Fifteen report 63 educational class-
es, with a total average attendance,
weekly, of 857. The associations have
done a large religious and social work,
and have found employment for nearly
1,000 young men.

Prof. Newell’s Reception.
The fourteenth annual reception of
Prof Newell’s dancing class was held
in Madison hall, Bridgeport, on Tues-
day evening, a number of young peo~
pie from N orwalk being present. Wei-
denhammer furnished music. Says the
Union: “In every respect, both in
point of attendance and toilets the re-
ception was a success. The hall was
handsomely decorated. Distributed
upon the walls were cards containing
the items of an elaborate menu, which
was'later enjoyed in the supper room
down stair. Quite typical and well
executed was the Spanish dance by
Misses Jean and Alyse Gregory. The
skirt dance as expurgated for strictly
society use, was prettily given by Miss
Julia Lockwood as was the Highland
fling by Miss Vera Wood."

Will Get Even.
At a recent “,blow- out” given by
Phoenix Engine company, C. E. Sturges
was among the guests. So pleased was
he with his reception that he promised
the members of the company a keg of
cider at their next meeting. True to
his promise, “Ed.” sent down the el-
der, and it was secreted in a store on-
Main street. The firemen were ad-
vised of the place where the keg was
hidden, and a committee was appointed
after the meeting to escort the keg to
the engine house. The committee re-
marked that the keg seemed awfully
light, but transacted their errand. On
examination it was found that the keg
had been “touched,” and nearly its
entire 'contents confiscated. The guilty
Iparties are known, and a member of
the company promises to get even with
them even though he be forced to live
athousand years in order to accomplish
his revenge.

be strictly confined to camp tonight. In

other big tent has been ordered from Mas-
sillon.
