The fate that has overtaken Rev. Dr. Joseph Pullman, says the Bridgeport Union, should serve as a lesson and a warning to other clergyman of his class who regard the pulpit as the sanctuary of unrestricted and lawless utterance. In a sermon, which he delivered before a congregation, in Bridgeport. in De- cember last, Dr. Pullman described one Jane May Huber, actress, pantomim- ist, as a “low, brilliant, swell, Parisian courtesan.” Jane May was a Parisian. She was a brilliant member of her pro- fession. Her talent had introduced her to many “swell” people,but,strange as it may seem, she was nota courtesan. On the contrary she was a. pure Wife and mother. She was a woman against whose character for chastity a most searching examination on the part of .EDr‘. Pullman’s very able counsel, failed alto produce ought. Jane May had a manager, one Adolph La Verge, who -' knew and could speak English, in which I Dr. Pullman referred to Jane May asa -»courtesan and, naturally, his sense of Ilghb and justice rebelled against an ac- ~ cheation which he believed to be as false as hell itself. He communicated with Arthur Rehan, who represented Augus- tin Daly, under whose management, Mlle. May was their playing in the pan- tomime called “Miss Pygmalion.” Jane May’s famous suit for slander and $25,- 930 damages was the result. If the case had come to trial there is bvery reason .t) believe the outcome would have been an overwhelming verdict against the clergyman. Dr. Pullman’s tardy retraction, there- fore, has no extenuating merit. It is plainly forced from him by the danger of the situation, and is not the result of any belated desire on his part to do justice to a much wronged woman, wife and mother. Slander from the pulpit is as much slander as slander from the veriest coward who seeks revenge. And slan- der for revenge is more commendable than slander for the sake of gaining a mere notoriety, which could as well be gained without such terrible sacrifice of Woman’s reputation. The clergyman who slandered Jane May Huber is in an unfortunate and humiliating plight It is entirely due to her charity and the wonderful temperance of her counsel, that it is not costly as well as unfortu- nate and humiliating. Dr. Pullman will be a sadder and wiser, if not a better man. Jane May desires that his experience shall be a warning to other clergymen similarly inclined. We heartily edho the wish. Dr. Pullman, by authority of his high office, attached to an innocent woman a most degraded name. Because the offense was directed against a lady who was not personally known to mamr members of his congregation, its true enormity was not realized as it would have been if he had spoken the same words of the wife, mother, sister or sweetheart, of any member of his con- gregation. In the litigation that has since befallen him it is a matter of record that he has been the recipient of a great amount of sympathy. Mistaken sympathy it was. Even now, when he is convicted out of his own month, there are'those who will consider him a patient martyr, as there are those who give cut flowers to tried and convicted brutal murderers. Mistaken sympathy it will. be. ” Does not the following letter of the aspersed actress place the Rev. Dr. Pullman’s'puipit“ in sad contrast with he theatre: ,. NEw YORK, April 24, 1896. Bar. JOSEPH PunmrAN, BBIDGEPOBT, CONN. SIR—Your retraction of the reckless uni unchristian charges against my moral character has been submitted to me. and' is accepted. I have been made aware of the fact that, ‘since the utterance of those awful words against. me (a wife and mother), afflictions have befallen the sacred circle of'your home, and out .of a . spirit of charity, which you did not see fit to ex- tend to me, I do not desire to add more to your burden by the annoyance which a continuance of my suit would natur- ally cause you and yours. I therefore accept your retraction as sufiicient. But I feel that 1 can, without impro- priety. suggest that it is my hope that the course I have pursued in this mat- ter may at least be the means of deter.- ring clergymen, who think less in the pulpit of the gospel of Christ than of notoriety and self-aggrandizement, from making unprovoked and malicious attacks upon actresses. of whom they know absolutely nothing. Before directing such language against any lady, which it seems no gentleman could, you might ask “How would I regard these same words if spoken of my mother, wife or daughter by any one, especially a minister of the gospel?” If you were a man, clergy- man though you be, you would resent it with all the energy of the champion of a righteous cause. I do not intend these remarks as personal, but as gen- eral' in their application. When we meet on that last awful day before Him who will judge us all, He will decide between us. and right the wrong which you have done me, but which it is beyond your power to undo. I am, Respectfully, MImE. JANE MAY HUBER. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. improvements That Should be Made on Main Street. Recently Michapl Ratchford has made improvements to the sidewalk in front of his Main street cafe that throws out in bold relief the imperfections of the walks both north and south of his place of business, on that side of the street. And the imperfections are not only unsightly, but in several instances dan- gerous. The attention of the city fathers is called to the same in hopes that needed repairs will be made to the sidewalks referred to. Chief Engineer Prowitt recognizing thefact of the dangerous condition of the walk in front of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder and Phoenix Engine Companies quarters has secured the services of a skilled workman in the person of Wil- liam Sheldon and is having that section of the sidewalk placed in thorough re- . pair. Let the good work go on the entire east side of Main street, and mayhap people will not fear to walk along that side of the city’s main thoroughfare. Stamford Yacht Club. The Stamford Yacht Club house will be open after next Friday, but the formal opening will not take place until June 1. Under the enthusiastic lead- ership of Commodore James D. Smith the club will have the most notable season in its history. A recent change in the rules, advocated by the Commo- dore, under which ladies are admitted to membership, has proved very popu- ar, and the house at Shippan Point will be more than ever the centre of social activity during the summer. The directors have decided to waive initia- tion fees for the next two months, a plan that will help to swell the member- ship. The club will also make a record for itself in Sound regattas, having joined the Yacht Racing Union. Several new and fast boats will be aided to the fleet within a few weeks. The racing days for Stamford will be June 29. August 15 and September 5. Social diversions are being planned, and there is to be a coaching parade that will eclipse any of those in former years, A O A Pure Malt Extract. Attention is called to the advertise- - ment of Braunschweiger Mumme, a pure malt extract substitute for solid food, manufactured by the Long Island Bottling company and sold in Norwalk by Edward P. Weed. It is an effective tonic, an agreeable beverage and a mild stimulent, just the thing for convales- cents and victims of insomnia or nerv- ous disorders resulting from impaired digestion and overwork. A_ trial of this celebrated extract will convince you that it will produce all remedial efl'cts the manufacturers claim for it. A New Cigar. S. K. Stanley, the well known manu- facturer of cigars, has gotten up a new cigar that he calls "The Norwalk Yacht Club.” It is patterned somewhat after the celebrated “Flora de Alma,” having all the flavor of this favorite cigar but acknowledged to be of a higher grade.
