The manufacturer. the merchant. the me-
chanic and-laborer, are all daily and de-
voted readers. of the Daily Gazette. 'En-
terprising. attractive and honest. its readers
believe in it and peruse it thoroughly: and
its Editorials and Advertisements get closer
attention than do the columns of°less re-
spected papers;
Temperance; and the Church.
When irgr. Satolli decided that Bish-
op Watterson, of Columbus, Ohio, was
right in withdrawing his approbation
from every Catholic society having a
saloon keeper among its officers, and
refusing absolutiou to any liquor deal-
er carrying on his business to the hurt
of order or religion in any way, he
pointed out that he did this to prcmote
the dignity and honor and increase the
influence and usefulness of such socie-
ties and the church.
Archbishop Corrigan has indorsed the
sentiments of the Papal Delegate, both
in spirit and letter, and now' it. would
seem that the time has come for him to
act, if he wishes, with Mgr. Satolli, to
remove the reproach that has attached
to some Catholics on account of the
manner in which the liquor business is
carried on. '
The Catholic Knights of New York
city, who .are within the Archbishop’s
jurisdiction, decided last night that the
selling of liquor at their coming excur-
sion, should be carried on by them-
selves and for their own profit. This,
remarks the Herald, seems to be carry-
ing the'traffic within the very pale of
the Church.

Won’t .Do. Just Yet. _
The South Norwalk News suggests,
that inasmuch as‘President Hill, in the
presence of a great and angrily threat.
ened danger to his Congressional as-
pirations, has conceded the point of
having the words “Direct to South
'Norwalk” repainted on his car signs,
that he also have'the additional words
“Direct from South Norwalk,” on all
cars leaving theidepot for the humbler
“Bridge.” ‘A'ntl‘all this,we presume,
that the existence of ambitious South:
Norwalk may be the more surely em-
phasized. The GAZETTE never thought
and does not now believe, that our live-
ly and prosperous sister city needs any
such sort of factitious advertising to
. have its existence known. Then too,
the introduction of that word ‘flfrom”
would tend to revive the unpleasant
memories of the past horse car days,
when if a train arrived at the depot two
or three minutcs’late, the up town
(mind, we do not insist on City of Nor-
walk,) passengers always saw the tail
end of the street car whirling around
the Mahackemo corner like all possessed
as if the driv er, conductor and occu-
pants were intent only on escaping
from South Norwalk as from a pesti-
lence or plague. All this Mr. Hill has
conscientiously tried to avoid, in the
interest of the patrons of his road the
traveling public, as well as of the com-
pany of which he chances to be the
head. \
Then again, if the News’ suggestion
is to be carried out at all, Editor Rode—
ineyer will, we think, concede that it
would. evince more sagacity and world-
1y wisdom on Mr. Hill’s part, to defer
this change until later on in the Con-
gressional canvass, when, if the es-
teemed Sentinel should lag in its prom-
ised support of our Norwalk candidate
and its enthusiasm grow cold, as be-
tween Hill and DeForest,'and drift as
it were, into the condition of the west-
ern hoosier who, in the struggle his
wife was having with the bear, said he
“didn’t *care which licked,”—then, we
suggest, wouldn’t it be right handy to
have this “from” inspiration and missile
ready to use upon the Sentinel’s indif-
ference? All wise generals, when en-
.gaging in battle, keep a reserve in
readiness for emergencies, and Hill has
few who can outdo him in political gen-
eralship.

Holes in the Ground.
A correspondent writes that the Ni-
untic camp ground presents a peculiar
sight as the tents are taken down and
the floors raised. Hundreds of holes
in the ground under the floors are
brought to view, varyrng in size from a
place large enough to hold a. soap box
to one that will take a good sized pack-
ing case. These were cellars or ice
boxes of the boys where they kept
their wet goods cool for the entertain-
ment of their friends. The holes were
concealed by trap doors cut in the floors
of the tents, and the men in the quar-
termaster’s department will have all the
floors to repair before they are stored
awav.

Obituary.
-» . 'BEv.s. B. SiBISSELLI .
, . Reverend Samuel Burr . Sherwood
:Bissell departed this life for the life
eternal at his home in Norwalk, August
23d, 1894, at 2:15 p. m. .
. His long life of—vigorous health and
active usefulness culminated more than
a decade ago, but his familiar figure
was almost daily seen about our town,
occasionally going down to New York,
and always at his wonted place in the
church of his love and adoption. up to
'within a quite recent period". The sure
infirmities of old age were. added to by
the severe pains of inherited rheuma-
tism, and.of late his ever-worked eyes
gave out and partial and then nearly
total blindness ensued, and thus with
rare patience and fortitude and the
bright, sustaining, Christian hepc of
an exchange of the sufferings here en-
dured, for a joyous and painless exist-
ence in the celestial world with the dear
Saviour he had loved and served so.
long, he has during many months of
pain and weakness, calmly'and patient-
ly awaited with unshaken faith. the
coming of the inevitable hour of his
departure. '
Mr. Bissell was the eldest child of the
late Judge and Governor Clark Bissell,
whose long time Norwalk home fitly
descended to his first born, clerical
son. He was born in Westport at the
Sherwood mansion, the home of his
maternal grandfather, February 16,
1812. He entered the sophomore class
of Yale college when but just past
fourteen, and graduated with high
honors at the end of his three years’
course, in the noted class of 1830. He
then studied law for a brief pericd in
his father’s office but abandoned it to
enter Princeton Divinity School from
which he graduated at the end of his
term and then entered upon the work
of the ministry, going first to Virginia
and preaching to a large congregation
of slaves near Richmond. In May,
1839, he was married in New York city,
to Fanny, daughter of Rensselaer Hu-
vens, for many years president of the
Howard Insurance company. Then he
accepted the agency of the American
Tract Society fur the South, and spent
several years in labors for that cause in
the Southern states.
Later he returned and for many years
was the pastor of the Congregational
church at Old Greenwich, now Sound
Beach. Upon the death of his honored
father in 1857, he returned to his boy-
hood home here in Norwalk and has
occupiedihe Governor Bissell home-
stead ever smce. _
he was made agent, first of the Ameri-
can Seaman’s Friend Society, and sub-
sequently of the American Sunday
School Union, with officesin New York,
going to his duties from here daily.
His first wife died in Norwalk May
1st, 1864, leaving five sons and three
daughters. The daughters and three
sons survive him, as do two sisters, Mrs.
Mary Bette and Mrs. Charlotte Ferry.
Two brothers, George and Edward C.,
await him in the better land. In May
1867, Mr. Bissell was re married to
Miller, Mayor of Newark, who survives
him and who has been his assiduous
comforter and attendant during all his
weary hours of suffering. His every
wish seemed anticipated and gratified
by her wifely devotion, and whensight
failed, it was his grateful tribute to her
constant ministrations, espec1allv in
the matter of indulging his ever active
mind by reading, which she did for
long hours together, that she had be-
come eyes for him. By this Wife he
had one child, known and loved, and
affectionately called “little Miller,”
whose bright, winning ways 'won all
hearts ere he passed away in early
childhood.
Mr. Bissell was the worthy son of
a noble sire, and thoroughly lived
throughout his long life the religion
he professed. He was a man of, an un-
uSiially tender and sympathetic’nature,
his big heart overflowing with active,
generous impulses. His most promi-
nent characteristics were his deep rev-
erence and abiding devotion to his
church, and the intensity of his love
for wife and children. He was most
tender and affectionate as a husband,
lovingly indulgent and considerate as a
father, ardent in his devotion as a
brother, actively helpful. steadfast and
faithful as a friend. '
As he uncomplaingly descended the
western slope to the coming sunset,
he peacefully crossed the dark river,
the brighter land of the living. When
for the last time he bade “good-bye”
to his loved ones, the life of a godly
man, a good citizen, a true friend, went
out. To great numbers other than sor-
rowing kindred, his departure will be
sincerely mourned as a personal be-
reavement. But to one and all, he has
left the rich legacy and enduring fra-
grance of a pine, sweet and holy life
and memory.
“ His life was gentle ; and the elements
So mix’d in him. that Nature might stand up,
And say to all the world—-
' This was a MAN.’ ”
How appropriately may we add the
words ending the obituary notice of his
illustrious father published in the GA-
ZETTE of September 22nd, 1837, as fol-
lows :—-“He died as peacefully as an
infant falls asleep ; his memory is the
asexpory of the Just, and his rest is with
or. ‘
DANIEL SMITH.
Daniel Smith died at his home in
Danbury, to’day, aged 35 years. Some
days since the deceased suffered a para-
lytic stroke from which he never recov-
ered. He leaves a wife and one child,
a daughter. Mr. Smith was a step-
brother of the late James M. Bailey of
the Danbury News, and some fifteen or
more years since was apprenticed in that
office to learn the printers’ trade. He
retained a “sit” in the office up to the
time of his fatal Sickness. On the death
of Mr. Bailey he was left a third inter-
est in the Danbury News. “Dan” as
his friends familiarly call him, was a
loving son and a devoted husband and
' father. He was generous, kind and one
whom any one might well feel proud
to calla friend.
His death will not only be mourned
by his family, but by all who knew him,
And nowhere Will he be missed more
than in the office where he was engaged.
Like Mr. Bailey, he was witty, and al-
ways had a kind word for everybody.
Peace to his ashes.
JESSE SMITH. '
Jesse Smith, an old-time residentof
- Norwalk, died at the home of Mr. Geo.
Smith, in Ridgefield, this morning, at
half-past one, aged 85 years and five
months. He was a. man of,most kindly
and generous characteristics, respected
and beloved by all who knew him. H e.

sided in former years. His funeral will

TheBridgeport News" rints «the fol}
lowing concerning ‘a we l-known resi-'
“My name is Joel Perry of Weston.
I am. 79 years of , age and never was
married. They say that is what makes
me so spry. I never did love but one
woman and she'.weuld not have me.
She married a worthless cuss who drank
hard and abused her. I have always
tried to be straight in .my dealings and
have never had trouble till now and I
came down to see if you could not help
me out of it. I think the law should
be on my side because I am right.”
Joel Perry of Weston addressed the
above to Sherifi‘Fenelon and County
Commissioner Rowlands at the court
house. The trouble he was in was over
some property in Weston. He had oc-
cupied it for 40 years and has a deed of
it. He held the undisputed ownership
of the property for all that time, but
now another man claims that it is his.
He_lias aprior deed he claims and says
he inherited the land from a relative.
The land has grown to be valuable now
and the man who claims that he has a
prior deed wants to oust Joel. '—
The latter said, “I don’t think much
of lawyers and would not spend money
on_ them. I come to you because I
think you can advise me as well as a
lawyer. I have the deeds here and I
don’t see how they can take my land
from me.” Mr. Perry was advised to
look after his interests. Sheriff Fens-
lon said he thought Joel had a good
case but a lawyer could search the
titles to the property and settle the
question better than anyone else.
Joel said he would not employ a law-
yer anyway. He said. “I will tell you
what I Wlll do. I will go to Hartford
and get the opinion of Elisha Carpen-
ter. He is a state referee. He is paid
a salary by the state to settle such ques-
tions. If he tells me that I am right
I don’t want anything better. I will
go right home and defy them, I would
rather have a state referee’s opinion
than a lawyer’s.”

More Business and Less Plcnlc.
The Hartford Courant, than which
there is no better friend of the Nation-
al Guard among the newspapers of the
state, says significantly that it is time
to take the picnic element out of the
annual encampment summarily. It
says, “When the people of Connecticut
find they ,are paying $100,000 of good
money for an eight days’ run at Niantic
of the singular combination of military
,.camp, picnic, bar, and social reunion
that has been witnessed this year, they
will cry stop.” These remarks have an
ungracious sound, but while'they may
be, and perhaps are too sweeping, we
cannot doubt that there are sbme
grounds for them.

Makes No Sign.
Congress is still nominally in session,
but is doing nothing. Legislation is’
reduced to a farce judging from the
efforts of the Senate yesterday to se-
cure a quorum. The session lasted less
than two hours, most of the time being
spent in drumming up a quorum, but
almost as soon as one was secured an
adjournment was taken. This is sim-
ply marking time. _ The House was not
in session at all. ' Congress and the
country are merely Wating for the
President, who has returned to Wash-
ington, but makes no sign. '

Not a Candidate.
Hon. Zalmon Goodsell of Bridgeport,
says that he is not a candidate for guber~
natorial honors. He says, “At no time
have I given the matter serious thought.
Oh the other hand, I have declared from
the first to my friends that this honor
belongs to some more prominent gentle-
man, of wider acquaintance and ex-
perience, and better able to carry on
an aggressive contest. The delegates
to our state convention will place be-
fore the electors of our state a strong
ticket, and if every true democrat does
his duty, victory will surely ,_be the re-
ward." '

The theatrical business has suffered
in general with every other branch of
trade, during the extended business-de-
pression of the past year. A curtail-
ment of the salarieh of prominent act-‘
are has been made all along the line and
it is owing to this fact that Messrs.
Peck and Rice, the managers of Rice’s
Grand Opera House Stock Company
have been enabled to organize a really
superior dramatic company to be seen
at popular prices. This organization,
which is complete in its dramatic dc-
partment, is also strong from a musical
standpoint, a band of eighteen, and an -.
orchestra of twelve being connected
with it, and the‘ music to be rendered
by them during their week’s engage-
