The Hour excoriates the Hon. Sam-
uel Fessenden, as a Consolidated “lob-
byist.” If there ever-has been a pitia-
bio lobby mendicant about our legis-
lature, the multipliedly “emailed” edi-
tor of the Hour is that creature.
.,_____.__
His Transparent Cunning.
Mr. Keeler is a man whose record' is
as clear and clean as that of any man
living—Hour. .
True, every word, and yet: with his
ever available dose of hypocritical fiat-
tery, Mr. Maples would, if he could,
poison Representative Keeler with his
own malignity and meanness, and in-
veigle him into making a fool of him-
self, by trying to defeat Fessenden for
Speaker. Luckily Mr. 'Keeler is not
made that way. How deplorable it is
that this craven creature has not either
the sense or desire to himself become
the man he truly describes Mr. Keeler
to be and thus escape the utter con.
tempt and scorn of all fair minded men,
now so meritedly heaped upon him.
Mr. Maples hates and abuses Fessen-
den because he is an attorney of the
Consolidated railroad. The Consoli-
dated railroad “expelled” MLIMaples
from its train, 'as did the ‘New- York
school trustees, and as has the Masonic
Grand Lodge,hence his spite, malignity
and hate. ' ,1

“Step Stealing.”
“Stop stealing,” cries the Hartford
Times, remarking on the recent numer-
ous instances of bank, municipal and
mercantile stealings. It adds that
“there are undoubtedly a hundred em-
ployees of corporations and business
firms as well as of officials, who are now
stealing regularly.” Continuing, the
~ Times says that “stealing grows upon
the thief. If he begins at a dollar, 7119-;
soon wants two dollars, and then" two.
hundred dollars. The more he steals,
the more he wants and the more he will
take wickedly.” But "one good result,
follows,” .adds'o‘ur friend. ‘ ‘More 1409??
is taken on every“hand to stop'flie’
stealing and expose the thieves.”
Just how this result follows from the
fact that a thief grows daily more of a
thief, we do not know, but are glad to
be assured that’any geod results'follow
thieving, and adds the New Haven
Courier, “When the great crimes of
great rascals are visited according to
the measure of their wickedness, there
will be fewer great crimes.”
Finish Piping First.
' Before action is taken for the com
structio'n of another storage reservoir
the crty should complete its work of
laying the sixteen inch main. It was
laid from the Grupe Reservoir down to
Daniel’s mill and there remain four
and three quarter miles more to be
laid to complete the line to our city’s
distributing reservoir. This will cost,
it is estimated, somewhere between
fifty-five and sixty thousand dollars.
What good sense is there in 'expending
a hundred thousand dollars and more,
for another reservoir. when we haven’t
the pipe capacity to bring down the
water we already have in storage.
Will some one explain?
Again, .it is entirely practicable to
raise the Grupe and the Lewisboro
reservoir dams several feet more each
and at a very inconsiderable cost com-
pared to the construction of any new res-
ervoir. This raising of these dams
should be done in any case, and why
not do this now and keep the new res-
ervoir scheme in abeyance, until after
our new line of sixteen inch main, al-
ready laid for some two "miles, is com-
pleted down to our city distributing
reservon‘. Begin at the rig end.

He Mailgns His Benefactor.‘
On Saturday Mr. Maples of the Hour,
rose to his normal status of malignity
and meanness. He vomited his venom
in all directions, even going so far as to
slander and abuse his patron, Mr. Hor-
ace Staples, known evervwherc as
\Vestport’s most aged and hOnored
philanthropist. Under the head-line Of
“Dictator Staples this great railroad
schemer,” Maples fills three quarters
of a column of his disreputable paper
with lying abuse of Westport’s most
noted citizen. In contradiction of the
Hour’s lies Mr. Staples writes net-“I
have never bought a share of stock with
a View of controlling any action .in a
trolley road, or authorized any one to.
.buy. In fact have only owned twenty.
two shares in my,lifc. Have always
been ready to sell and advised the
Messrs. Nash and Raymond to sell at
par, whenever we couhbbe gurantecd a
trolley road over the line of our Horse
Railroad. One of the great myteries
in the matter is—why the Hour should
go to such excess to vituperate one who
was always a friend to the best branch
of his family—Capt. Wm. Meeker, who .
was in our employ for many years, and .
which always led us to respect his
family.” '
The GAZETTE refers its Lvenerable
friend and one of its oldest patrons, to
an' utterance in its columns Of the date
of November 23d, 1887, which opinion,
then as now, received general indorse-
'ment as being entirely just and true.
It was in these words :
“Nothing seems so fatally disastrous
to any person or cause as his (Maples’,)
~ treacherous friendship. * * * Govern-
or Minor from the platform of the state
conv antion, charged. him With coming
as a self appointed delegate from West-
port, with treachery in his heart and
the deliberate purpose of betraying its
candidates and doing all in his power to
defeat the ticket,§he with presumptuous
importinence sought to _help_ put In
nomination. Swelling With Ind-igua-
tion at Maples’ notorious party treach-
ery, the Governorcontinued : ‘He was
never known to 30m 9. party or espouse
a cause except that he might the more
easily betray it.’ ”
It is a lamentable fact that Mr. Ma-
pies has ' not improved by the lapse of
years, and Mr. Staples should remem-
ber that his venomous assaults are
equivalent to the commendation of all
decent men.

of Station A Post Office, at Houston
and Crosby streets, New York, was ar-
rested Saturday on the charge of rob-
bing the mails. He confessed and is
confined in Ludlow street jail. Palmer
was well known in Norwalk and in fact
was to have spent Sunday here, in com-
pany with a lady friend. He will be

Fritz gets Even.
On last Sunday, Health Officer Tracey
thought .he had gotten even with Fritz
of gthe. . GAZETTE «:by quarantining his
house on account Of his little daughter
having a light attack of diphtheria.
Fritz, like the good newspaper man
that he is, engaged board elsewhere and
said :hothing, but abided his time and
awaited to f-get square with the doctor.
He had not long to wait, however, for
on Saturday Dr. Tracey’s household
was increased by the arrival of a little
daughter. To-day Fritz is smiling over
the thought of the many sleepless nights
that the doctor will walk the floor and
the numberless tacks he will pick up
with his bare feet.

Out of the Ordinary.
Plumber Holmes performed an act so
out of the ordinary on Saturday night,
as to bepworthy of “hon orable mention”
Carpenters had stripped the tin roof
from the rear of the stores of Olsen
Bros. and Tristram & Hyatt, with a view
to its replacement and repair. The
weather was intensely cold all Saturday
and the work was delayed, but at- night
a rain storm was seen to be impending.
Holmes procured lanterns for his force
of five men, and kept them at work in-
to the night, until the roof was made
securely tight. We know of no roofer
here or ' elsewhere, who . would have
shown such fidelity to an employees in-
terests and we are more than glad to
give him the benefit of this public ex-
pression of our gratitude.
st. Mary’s Church.
At the 10:30 o’clock mass in St.
Mary’s church, yesterday, Rev. Father
Slocum read the annual report, from
which a GAZETTE reporter gleaned the
following figures: Receipts, $511,984;
expenses, $11,130, leaving a balance of
$854 in the church treasury. The sum
of 3850 has been expended for charit-
able purposes. There were 20 births,
31 marriages and 113 deaths in the par-
ish during the year. It is understood
that this is the first time in the history
of the church that there has been a
balance in the treasury. This fact re-
flects great credit on Rev. Father Slo-
cum in his management of the church
affairs. The mass was celebrated by
Rev. Father Duggan, who has returned
as a curate at the church. He eXplained
that he was glad to be back with his
old parishioners, and hoped that the
kindly relationsl of the past would be
continued in the future. ,

A Superstitions Barber.
On New Year’s morning Harry
Leopold opened his barber shop early
and arranged his towels and implements
of trade 'ready for a rush. While
waiting for his first customer his
thoughts wandered to the old supersti-
tion, that if the first customer asks to
be “hung up” he would be doing a
trusting business through the new year.
The thought had hardly left his mind
when an 0161 customer on his way to
work stepped in and asked for a pack-
age of cigarettes. As Harry handed
them out the customer remariu-d, “I
will pay you on Saturday.” “No you
won’t”said Harry. “I will minke you
a present of them.” The customer
went off With the cigarettes and on Sat-
urday afternoon he came in and laid
the money for them on the show case.
Harry would not accept it and after
considerable talk picked up the five
cent piece and threw it out in the snow.
It was discovered by a lady who told
the location of its resting place to John
Carroli'who was soon out in the snow
with a search light.

on Saturday, passed peacefully away at
thirty minutes past three. o’clOck that

Seneca County, N. Y. , eighty-twoyears
ago. For some sixty years his home
was at North Wilton, where hefilied
the several town-offices of Justice of
the Peace, Town Treasurer Clerk, and
Selectman; and was for a long series of
years a deacon in the WiltOn Congrec
gational church, and on several occas-
ions, we believe, represented Wilton in
the State Legislature. For the last two
years he has resided with his daughter,
Mrs. L. W. St.John, at No 150 Main
street, this city. He was the youngest
brother of the late Deacon Stephen S.
Ferris, of South Norwalk. A-n. only
sister, Mrs. Mary Trowbridge, of Dan—
bury, survives him. , .
. A short service will be held at the
house,of his son-in-law Mr. St. John, at
which Rev. Mr. .Watkins will ofiiciate.
Funeral director J. D. Jennings will
then convey his remains to the Wilton
Congregational church, where a funeral
service will be conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Mr. Hart. followed by his burial
beside kindred in Wilton’s ancient
Hillside cemetery.
Death came to him peacefully, and as.
a translation. He was the soul of
honor, as true in his integrety, his love
of God and his fellow men, as the stars
in their courses. He enjoyed the love,
respect and confidence of all who ever
knew him, and he has left a memory
that will grow brighter unto the perfect
day. To his children and friends only,
need sympathy be extended. They
will have many sincere sharersin- the
sorrow in the sad bereavement that has
fallen upon them; but for the departed,
there is no cause for vain regrets. " He
has entered into rest. He has put on
_. immortality. .Peace to his ashes. ._

AN ESKIMO BABY.
' The Eskimo children are born into the
most peaceful, the most orderly, if‘not
the-most luxuriantly comfortable com-
munity on earth. The Eskimos have no
magistrates. They have no laws. Yet
they maintain among themselves an ideal
good order. Perhaps they find the fierce
and constant war that they needs must
wage against the elements too exhausting.
to admit of their voluntarily waging war
among themselves. Atall events, a quar-
rel among Eskimos is' almost unknown,
and when it does occur it never goes
further than a difference of opinion, '
which the disputants settle by sepap
ating. '
If two members of an Eskimo family ,
do not pull together comfortably, they
separate, quietly and definitely. If two
sections Of an Eskimo tribe fall out, one
section moves a few miles away. That
is the way in which every Eskimo quar-
rel terminates. Even the children play
together peacefully, and never quarrel
among themselves; doubtless because
they never see aught t'hat approaches
quarrelsOmeness among their elders. ' As
soon as an Eskimo baby is born it is
sewn into innumerable layers of warm
clothing.

J ohnson—Tipton.
The Tribune is indebted to a correspon-
dent in Chamberlain, S; D., for the full
particulars of the marriage 'of Mr. Hans
Johnson and Miss Ollie Tipton'at that
place a few days ago. Says the corre-7
spondent: ' i

Babcock’s address to the newly wedded ‘
pair; right there; as soon‘ as the usifl .
greetings; such as hand shakings, bride ’
kissing, etc., had ceased.
“The Eiders address, ran thus:
“God bless you; this Bridegroom; and, also i
the Bride;
