Mayor Hubbell's Turn.
The orders issued by Mayor Lee, of
South Norwalk, to Chief of Police
Vollmer and the latter’s instructions to
his patrolman, to keep the principal
street corners in that city free from
loafers, is an example that should be at
once followed by Mayor Hubbell.
The old borough of Norwalk has
passed away and in its place we have
the new city of Norwalk. But strange
to say the old practice of street corner
loafing has not been interferred with
and the principal corners and, hallways
are nightly infested by a gang of to-
bacco spitting loafers. .
Any evening in the week the corner
of 1’lechanio street, in front of the
Failhhldiédii’nty National Bank, Hale’s,
corner, nearlyllevery doorway on Main
street as well as in front of the GAZETTE
building and its entrance can be found
gangs of loafers who feel aggrieved if
requested to allow any one to .pass
through their ranks.
Mayor Hubbell will not only confer a
great favor to the the owners of stores
and buildings if he will issue the same
orders to his police force, but receive
the lasting obligations of the ladies
who are obliged to wade through the
filthy tobacco spit, if he will enforce it.

Free Silver.
”The cause of silver,” as it is. called;
' is not really the cause of silver; it is the
oauSe of the people against a common
swindle; the name of this swindle,
"free silver coinage,” presents the fraud
ina favorable light because of the use
of the word “free.” The proposition
to make anything free is one that com-
monds itself to the common thought,
though the people with ever so little
property will hardly consent to make
that free. i
The rightname for so-called "free
coinage” is debasing the coin. It is a
proposition to reconstruct the coinage
system and the coinage, so that half a
dollar’s worth of silver shall pass for a
dollar.“ Itiean old scheme. and has

unable to raise money from the people
by taxation, but needing funds to carry
on their wars, had from very early
times the little trick of recoining all
the old money. and giving to the people
beautiful new coin. But with the pre-
cious metal of the new coin they mingled
base metal, and thus, out of any given
sum of the old coinage they would
make new coin equivalent to a far
larger sum. With the gold from a
thousand dollars, say, they would make
new coin to the value of twelve hun-
dred, or fifteen hundred, or two thous-
and dollars. “
The silver men propose for the adop-
tion of the American people a scheme
that is the same in substance; for 371
grains of silver are worth 48 cents, but
if that weight of silver is stamped by
the government as “one dollar,” it will
be worth one hundred cents—for cer-
tain purposes.
the open market it will not be worth
more than its real value, for in its pres-
ence prices will be doubled. - But it
wall be a dollar to 1 ay debts with.
Therefore the propOiition for "free
silver coinage” is a proposition in bank-
ruptcy—to allow debtors to pay deb's
at 50 per cent. of. their face value.

Meetlng of Two Bishops.
Protestant Episcopal Bishop Williams
and Roman Catholic Bishop Tierney
met by chance at the depot in this city
yesterday .‘afternoon .. and together
boarded the 4:20 east bound train. The
train was late and both had quite a
period of waiting. Finally Bishop
Tierney caught sight Of the tall form
of the venerable Episcopalian bishop,
and walking up to him began what ap-
peared to be a animated conversation.
The two bishops were on the middle
platform, and when they stood side by
side, they were special objects of ob-
servation by the large crowd gathered
at the side‘of thedepot. A great many
of the watchers would give a good deal
to know what those two men were say-
ing and their conclusions. Once ina
while Bishop Williams’ right band
would come out of the pocket of his
"cape coat and he would raise his fore-
finger as if emphasizing a point. The
smiles, indicating that the subject was
an agreeable one. '
more than one way. In the first place
they represented two great religious
bodies, and in the second they were
decidedly dissimilar in appearance.
The Episcopalian is tall and thin, while
the Catholic ecclesiastic is somewhat
below the medium height and stout.
There was nothing in common in their
appearance,"except their trousers. Both
clergy men wore trousers of black broad-
cloth that bagged deplorably.—Bridge-

DESERTED HERCHILDI
Little Corrie Fenwick Left in the“
Hands of Neighbors.
The Mother Gone But the Child in
Good Hands.
Yesterday afternoon the attention of
aGAZETTE representative was called to
the fact that a child had been cruelly,
or otherwise, deserted by its mother.
The tale as related to the newspaper
man, was a sad one, and he- proceeded
to investigate.
The child was found under the care
of Mrs. John Corvan at a house on
Grant street.
A knock on the door admitted the
seeker after news into the house and.
be without further ceremony intro-
duced himself to Mrs. Corvan. Stating
his errand she quickly granted an inter.
view, and after calling in one of the
neighbors, gave in substance the fol-
lowing story:
Something like three years ago a man
and a woman, whom I knew as Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Fenwick moved into this
house which I now occupy as a part.
“‘I liked her from the first time I set
eyes on her.” Soon after her arrival
there was another arrival in the person
of» a pretty baby. The child grew into
my affections every day of its life.
The father I seldom saw, but never
heard a complaint from its mother as
to her husband’s absence. I learned
that he was engaged with a number Of
men who were selling rugs, spring beds,
etc., about town. The woman seemed
to be well provided for.
Continuing she said about one year
ago'she and her child left town and
went to Danbury. Previously she had
told me that her maiden name was
Mame Dayton and her home Danbury.
She, as she averred to me, went back
to that place because her husband’s
business called him thei c.
It would seem that Fenwick had later
on met some one to whom he was pay-
ing greater attention than to his wife.
At least she became jealous, and re—
turning to' Norwalk unbosomed her
tIroubles to Mrs. Corvan.
Still retaining the kindly feeling
toward her, Mrs, Corvan bade her wel-
come to her home last Tuesday night.
The following day Mrs. Corvan attend-
ed a funeral and on returning home
found thechild who hadbeen christen-
ed “Corrie” and the following letter
which had been mailed at East Norwalk
at 7 O’clock a. m. April 25:
“Mrs. Corvan: please forgive me but
will you keep Corrie for a couple of
J
days. You don’t know what trouble.
I shall come back. Keep her for God’s
sake. MAME FENWICK.
This was an appeal that went to the
heart of Mrs. Corvan, and coupled with
a prior love for the child she has kept
her, and the innocent little 'creature
has received every care and attention.
Mrs. Corvan has no children of her
own, and a mother could not have done
more for achild. Yet she is in poor
circumstances and the child isa charge
upon her that appeals to the substan-
tial sympathies of all.
The little one was christened at Grace
church some months since, and that
she will not be cared for, the writer is
10th to believe. She is a pretty child
and showed in her innocent pratile
that she loved Mrs. Corvan as indeed
does the latter love the child.
Mrs. Corvan lives at No. 9 Grant
street, and while not asking help in
this the charge upon her is surely de-
serving of it.
The representative of the GAZETTE
came into possession of the following
postal card which he at first hesitated
to make public, but feeling that it may
perchance be of benefit to all concern-
ed gives it a place in these columns:
“Mame: I was sorry I did not see
you. I have just came from New York.
If you come again call the Hotell next
to Young M. C. A., Gilbert st.
' AMY."
The card was mailed from Bridge-
port, April 26th, and addresed to Mrs.
C. Fenwick, No. 9 Grant street, Nor-
walk: Ct. .
Mrs. Corvan and others living in 'the
house say that they never knew Mrs.
Fenwick to have company of either sex
and are greatly surprised at her action
in deserting her child, and they still
have faith that she will return and
claim her. . I
That the child hasfallen into good
hands is evidenced from, the fact that a
suggestion that it be placed at the
County Home was scouted. by Mrs.
Corvan and other women in the house.
