WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 12th. 18.9.7.
DEAR GAZETTE :—~ '
Of course the President‘s unique and
remarkable message monopolizcs discus-
sion and ovcrsli‘adows every other sub-
ject of interest in and about Congress. As
a state paper it is original and without
precedent. As an annrral message to Corr-
grcss from the Chief Executive, it is extra—
ordinary in what it omits as well as in
what it urges upon the attention of the
people‘s Representatives. It must be con-
ceded that it is a brave and courageous
“nailing to the mast head" Of the long
ruling btrt skillfully concealed democrat—
ic principle of Free Trade. It would
seem that the President, as the head of de-
mOcracy, had now so frilly and squarely
committed his party to free trade dogmas
that it can no longer shuttle and skulk be-
hind protectiou at one end Of the 1“ nion
and free trade in other sections, and that
no state or national democratic conven—
tion can ~ hereafter issue “'doul.)le-ender"’
planks on the Tariff in their party plat-
forms to cheat their voters with. A close
analysis of the President’s fallacious pre-
mises and loose reasoning, conveys the
impression that he has become an easy
'prey to the subtle but unsubstantial doc-
trines of J. S. Moore, a German Jew, and
the “Parsce Merchant” of the New York
Journal of Commerce and other free trade
papers, and who is reputed to be salaried
by the Free Trade Leagues of _ Europe to
write up anti urge upon the attention Of
Americans the doctrines of the Cobderr
Club, and the millennial joys sure to fol-
low the opening of our ports to the free
introduction of all the products Of de-
pressed and degraded laborers in Europe.
It is known that the “Par-sec Merchant"
has been here for a considerable time and
had frequcnt interviews with the Presi-
dent. The style and frame—work of the
message are so identical with the newspa-
per writings of this man Moore that it is
only where the argument weakens down
to the level of Prof. Sumner and David A.
Welles that. any other car-marks are so
strongly visible.
Like many another new convert to free
trade, the President seems to be bothered
in trying to clearly state why or how he
became such, and his lame logic and
lamcr arguments, in face Of the fact that
he has written quite forcibly on other
matters, justly lays him open to the charge
that he has issued this Free Trade Pro-
clamation, and demanded that his party
shall stand squarely up to him without
further subterfuge or (lodging, solely be-
cause he conceives this to be the strongest
and best card with which tO win the next
Presidental Election. It is schoolboyish
throughout. and as a mere lawyerly argu-
Inent is not worthy the President’s brain
or pen, nor is it. complimentary to lay it
to the “Parsee Merchant” or to Sumner or
Welles if theylhad any band in its author-
ship. It is probably a sort of crazy-quilt
child of mnltitudinous paternity, with
Carlisle for godfather. Had the President.
pending his election. advanced any such
wild theories, so adverse to the welfare
and prosperity of the whole American
people, he could not have come within
grin shot of a triumph. If he entertained
and concealed them, his canvass was
worked and won under deliberate false
pretenecs. The Sam Randall wing of the
party are striking in their tents, while the
\t‘attersornCahill men, have their heads
and tails up in air like colts in the out
field. It is probable that the slircwdest
managers of the party in Congress will
get their heads together and prepare and
present sonic sort of a bill to take the
sharp edge of]? the President’s Open, square
and frank committal of his party to 1111-
adulterated free trade.
The timely. comprehensive and 1111-
answerable review of the message by Mr.
Blaine, cabled from Paris to the Tribune,
is so full and absolute a refutation of the
President’s false and shallow deductions,
that no other or further answer or argu
ment is needed. But the vital issue of the
next Presidential struggle is thus early
enunciated, and it must prove fortunate
to us and serve a good purpose, that. the
President has forced the issue so flatly and
squarely. Every laboring man. every
merchant, iriauufacturcr, farmer or well
wislrerof his country should very care.
fully and corisiderately analyze the issue
the President has forced upon the country
of starnling by protection to all our indus-
tries and interests. or with Mr. (if-levelliud
and his party. for the welfare and com-
nrercial interests of all other nations in-
stead.

The committee representing the wool_

been in session in this city for several days,
have adjourned to meet a gain in 11 is city
Jan. 14. when they expect to confer with
a committee of the wool manufacturers
relative to the President‘s proposition t
ruin wool raising and wool manufactures.
They claim that felt wool means the dc-
struction of the sheep husbandry, rind that
means higher prices for mutton, and that
the people are more interested iii cheap
mutton than they are in free wool. Even
democratic Texas is stirred from centre
to circumference by the President’s plan
of destroying all American sheep raising
and all manufacturing of woollen goods.
and her politicians already announce that
if the democratic party does not want to‘
throw away the fifty-thousand democratic
majority of that state, no attempt must be
made towards carrying out the President’s
proposed free trade and anti-wool heresics

Miss Pcaslee accompanied her friend
Miss Dyas, who has been playing leading
lady in “Jim the Penman” at the National
Theatre here all the past week to crowded
houses. The piece is one Of exceptional
merit and popularity. It is not too much
to say that the superb acting of Miss Dyas
is the chief attraction of the play. In
speaking of her part in the play, the “rash-
ington Republican says : “it is difficult to .
describe it without enthusiasm,” and that
“she showed that reserved strength, that
complete self-possession and that perfect
equipoise which are sriclr admirable quali-
ties in her skilfull stage work." Tire Post
critic is still more complimentary and
says:
“Miss Dyas as Nina (Mrs. Balaton) exe-
cuted much of the mole-dramatic work of
the evening; and to her belongs the credit
of preserving the happiest relief from over-
actiorr on the one hand, and commonplace
gentillty as the other extreme. Especral
notice should be made of her tellrng by-
play and graduated emotion. It was the
good work of a good actress."
Mr. and Mrs. James Ells, of Norwalk.

Venerable St. Paul’s.
An event of unusual interest in ecclesi-
astical circles will be the celebration of the
1501.11 anniversary of the organization Of
St. Paul’s parish. which will occur on
Saturday of next week, December 24111.
There will be interesting and impressive
services in commemoration of the event
on Sunday, Christmas.
In Rev. C; M. Sellcck’s valuable history
of the parish, we read that:
“What is now ‘tbc Grecn’ and the par-
sorrage and clrnrclr grounds, was. in 1737,
a tract Of ‘common or undivided lands’
called Mill Plain, the upper portion of
which, the precise site of the present
church, and its rear yard, was used fora
public sheep fold. The Connecticut turn-
pike had not been opened although a
street run from north to south across the
plain on the eastern side of which, and
about where is located the recent F lavius
Clark purchase. were, it is believed, the
house. garden and grounds of Lieut. Wil
liam Lees. The original grant of land.
1733-4, to the professors of the Church of
England, from the proprietors of the Nor-
walk Common Lands, was one quarter
acre on ‘yc plain before Lieut. Lee's door,’
and Joseph Platt and John Marvin were
constituted a committee to lay out the
same. In the extreme north-western angle
of Lieut. Lee’s (leoryard stood a rock, and
a point 66 feet West, bearing south, from
that rock, was the established northeast
corner of the future St. Paul’s territory.
From this point, marked by ‘a heap Of
stones,’ the line ran along the street ‘south
and westerly’ 201 feet, which at that day
formed the church frontage. From the
southeast point the line took a somewhat
nortlrwestly direction for about 57 feet:
thence an easterly course ‘two rods and a
half. where is erected a heap of stones for
ye northwest. corner.’ Within these limits
was the proprietors’ grant, as marked out
by their committee. but a more newspaper
grant until the day before Christmas, 1730.
when the lot was surveyed and prepara.
tions for its occupancy begun.
isii was organized anti :1 small church
building. which was afterwards converted
into a parsonage, was erected upon the
extreme northern or northeastern part
of the grant. Here Rev. Henry Caner
came. weekly, from Fairfleld, and offici—
ated. His brother Richard. who suc-
ceeded him, was the first settled rector of
the parish, and while he was at St. Paul’s
action looking to an addition to the
church grounds was taken. It ’as but :1
short time (1743) before a second church
was built, more toward the south, and in
an enlarged lot. This was the church
which was burned by the British in 1779.
A new church was erected on the old site
in 1780 and it was the first Episcopal
church consecratcdin the United States.
It was demolished in 1841 arid the hand—
sorric edifice of to-day was erected. The
weather vane on the spire of the present
churcli ornamented the church of 1780."

Mrs. Fox.
Last week the death was announced of
Mrs. Sally A. Fox in South Norwalk, at
the age of 72 years. She had been a
rrrenrber of the Borough Congregational
church since 1841. '
In the death of Mrs. Fox Norwalk has
lost one of those noble women, so little
known to the world, but so well known to
the Lord, of whom the best eulogy is that
which Christ himself pronounced when
he said,- “She hath done what she could.”
Left mother-less early in life she made
her own way with sturdy independence,
showing cveniu her girlhood that kind
neighborliness which characterized her
later life. After her marriage. when the
cares of a mother came upon her, she
never forgot, that, while “charity begins
at home,” it never ends there.
Many a sick neighbor helped; and
many :i‘enc for whose loved dead, she
performed the sad office of preparation for
the grave, could testify to her tender-
hearted kindness. After her husband’s
death she took up, as her life work, the
care of the sick; bringing to that work
' the same thoughtful,loving heart and wise
head. She was the first woman to offer
aid to the sufferers at the time Of the Nor-
walk disaster.
Her love and devotion to her church
and pastor Were Well known and her kind.
1y face will long be remembered by the
group that so often gathered around the
caurclr register, Of a cool morning, before
the ringing of the bell called them to their
seats.

A. H. Byingtou, the veteran of the. Nor.

in various capacities for fifty years, rc-
cerrtly celebrated his semi-centennial by
a two-and-a-half column article in which
he pays vigorous attention to Editor
Maples of the Not-walk ”our, who, it is
said, claims to be Gov. Lounsbury‘s con-
servator. or words to that effect. ’l‘hough

preciably abated.—— "Tasted [lei-alt].
In Norwalk hostilities have broken out
between the GAZETTE and Now. Last
week’s Issue. of the former paper contains
a two and a half column editorial from A.
H.13ylngton, the veteran editor, in which
he pays his respects to B. W. Maples, Of
the Hour in a decidedly vigorous fashion.
Mr. Byiugton states that he has stood the
malignant assaults Of his brother editor
until forbearance is no longer a virtue.
Then he proceeds to handle Maples with-
out gloves, imputing to him about all the
meannesses of disposition and conduct of
which human nature is capable. The,
article produced nearly as mrrclr of a sen-
sation in Nor-walk as the tire at. the winter
quarters did in this city—Bridgeport
Farmer.
Evidently Mr. Maples, Of the Hour, is
smarting under the lashing Mr. Bying-
ton gave him last week, for he still suarls
at that gentleman, and growls about what
we and others have said aboutit. Of those
whom he choscs to call Mr. Byington‘s
endorsers, he says : ~
“A list that begins with James Golden, of the
Is’crilhrol and ends with Dan Birdsall, of the Tele-
gram, with Lyon, of the Republican, Kirk, of the
Messenger, Hills. of the Post, and Emerson, of
the Ansonla Sentinel, is the mixed titling 01' this
editor’s sandwich.
We are not particularly anxious to have
any controversy over this matter, but if
Mr. Maples wants to compare reeorus we
have no objection. If we were disposed
we could givea list of endorsers of Mr.
Byirrgton which would show very conclus-
ively that nothing ever written by him gave
more satisfaction to the people of this
town and those elsewhere who know' Mr.
Maples. We have yet to hear Of a smgle
individual who does not endorse Mr. By-
ington.
Mr. Maples does not help his case by
the contemptible method he has adopted
to belittle those he mentions in the ex-
tract abovo. If Mr. Byington failed to
complete the picture of Mr. Maples, the
finishing touch has been put on by Mr.
Maples himselL—Sentr'nel.

“Barney" Maples, the editor of a scurril-

to make himself prominent as an adviser

true value—and who swells around Hart-
ford during the sessions of the general as-

in between his shorilders with aspile driv-

written by A. II Byington, Esq, the just-
lv celebrated war correspondent Of the
New York li'z'bune, and published in the
Norwalk GAZETTE, one of the oldest and
best weekly papers in the state. Mr. 35'-
ington‘s descriptions of him are excellent
and accurate. Those regarding his filthy
habits are particularly good, and his pero-
ratiorr very appropriate. One has only to
be seated in a warm railway car two or
three seats from him to be impressed with
the force of MixByington’s applieative lan-
guage. It is said that those whom he has
forced to harbor him as a guest have nec-
essarily been at the expense of having the
rooms that be occupied fumigated after
they were fortunate enough tO get' rid of ,

pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been .
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucus
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease and giving
the patient strength, by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much

An Immense Business, And What Made
It.
From continually bearing a name. a
place, or an article, we are apt to have our
curiosity aroused enough tO inquire about
the name, see the place or try the article.
To see, is to better describe. and the con-
stant repetition of the name of the firm,
the dcscriptlorr of whose immense estab-
lishment comprises this article, led your
correspondent to inspect the mammoth
structures occupied by those popular house
furnisbcrs, B. A. Atkinson 11'. Co.
Byron A. Atkinson was born in Sack-
villc, New Brunswick. and is 34 years of
age. When 12 years old he left home to
follow the sea and made a number of for-
eign voyages, sailing mostly from London
and Liverpool, ilrlngland, Glasgow, Scot-
aud St. John, New Brunswick, and al-
though his scafariug life lasted but about
6 years,lre visited nif‘t’crcnt parts of Europe.
Asia Africa. Australia, East and West
Indies, North and South America. After
the completion of one of his voyages he
found himself in New York, and being
about 18 years Of age he was advised to go
to Boston and learn the machinist trade.
which he did. Arriving in Boston on St.
Patrick‘s day in the morning, March 17,
1870. On the following Monday he went
to work for S. A. Woods, :1 large and pros-
perous machinist in South Boston. Here
he worked Constantly for about three years
and left the machine shop to embark in
business for himself. carrying with him
the best wishes Of his employers and all
his shop mates, who have tO a considera—
ble extent patronized him every since.
He commenced business June 9, 1873,
under the name and style of B. A. Atkin
son It: C0,, in an old wooden building on
the corner of Slrawmut avenue and Pleas-
ant street. where they dealt in second-
hand furniturc, made over hair mattresses,
and took great pride in the neat manner
in which they repaired and made old fur-
niture look as good as now. By diligent
application to their work, their business
increased to such an extent that in the
early months of 1879 the foundations of a
large brick building, to. be occupied by
them, was laid, and on May 1 of the same
year they moved in. The building served
them for about three years, when they
leased the Bartlett building. which ad-
joins tlre one they had erected. These
two buildings were. occupied by them for
about a year longer, when the rapid strides
which they had made in their business
caused them to again look around for
more room.
Nassau Hall building, an Immense struct-
ure situated on the corner of Common and
Washington streets, was their selection
time, and as the building contained 102,-
550 square feet of floor room, they natur-
ally thought that they would have all the
room they would need for many years to
come. They opened in this location March
1, 1883, with what was considered one of
the finest stocks of complete house for—
nishings in Boston. Continuing their
phenomenal career, they fast outgrow even
this building, and early in the presentyear
they obtained the large building adjorning
Nassua Hall, which is known as Turnc
Hall building. This accession to their cs-
tablishmcnt gave them four more large,
airy show-rooms, and they were able to
show the largest stock of any concern in
the New England States. Finding them-
selves still handicapped for room, they
have erected, in the rear of the above two
buildings a magnificent six-story struct-
ure. confirming about an acre of room on
each floOr. This building is furnished
with an elegant passenger and two freight
elevators. The connections between the
three buildings are perfect, and you can
pass from one building in another without
knowing when you do it. These three
buildings contain nearly ten acres of floor
room, and the firm of B. A. Atkinson 65
CO. are conceded to have the largest estab-
lishment devoted to the retail lrouse fur-
nislring business in the United States.
In addition to the above B. A. Atkinson
«R? Co are to be found on the corner Of
Shawmut avenue and Pleasant street, car—
rying on a large business in the building
which they erected in 1879, under the
' name and style of the Slrawmut Furniture
CO.
The name of B. A. Atkinson 67 Co. has
become a household world all over the
Eastern States, from which has emanated
the Atkinson House Furnishing Co., with
its main Offices and warehouse in Porto
land, Maine. and large branches in all the
principal cities and towns.
Their growth hasbccii surprising, and
to buy of them once is to buy of thcnr al-
ways, for they use their customers so that
when they areiu want of goods :1 second
time they think of but one firm, and that
is B. A. Atkinson t Co.
The first floor of the Nassau Ilall build-
ing is devoted to display of stove, ranges,
etc. Here are shown all stylesaud grades
of parlor and cook stoves, low-priced, me-
dium and high-grade ranges, copper, tin,
and nickel-plated kitchenware, etc., in
great variety. III the rear of this show-
room is their mammoth carpet floor, on
which are displayed all kinds of carpets,
rugs, mattings, etc. Here may be found
all grades and all styles, from the cheap
Chinese matting to the clroisest selections
from the Orient; and when the floor is
more or less covered with carpets, pend-
ing the selection by the many customers
continuously throng this as well as other
departments. the eye is dazzled by the
multipliciry of colors and the elegance of
desighs. As your gaze sweeps over the
beautiful fabrics, it would seem as if some
bower of roses had been strewn over this
one floor, so realistic are the patterns. One
also sees the sombre-lined, dark, rich-
eolored carpets thatare used in libraries
and in some parlors. The contrast is strik-
ing, and one that will not be forgotten in
many years. Of rugs and mats they seem
‘ to have a supply and variety tlrae would
supply the wants of a whole city. Sufii-
cient to say, that the carpet and rug dc-
partmcnt of this concern is immense
beyond description, and would Well repay
a visit from all who are interested in that
which is beautiful in the weaver’s art.
Up one flight in the Turin: Hall building
are located the offices. These occupy the
whole of this floor. They are fitted up in
a plain but substantial manner, and the
small army of clerks and book-keepers
employed give you an inkling of the ini-
Inense business the firm urust do to keep
this great number of people at work. On
this floor is also located the private ofllcc
of B. A. Atkinson, of wliom'it is said,“fle
- works more hours than any other man in
his line of business in this country.”
The second floor in Nassua Hall and in
the new building are devoted to the dis-
play of parlor sets, and never did we think
that under one roof could tlrerebe so many
suits ready made for inspection. They
are in all colors of plush, brocatelle, sat—
ins, damasks, etc, and in hair cloth, of
which this firm uses only the best. Truly,
the person who out of this multitude of
parlor sets could not make a selection,
would be fastidious indeed.
Up another flight in the new annex are
the samples of chamber sets. On this vast
floor are exhibited nearly 9,00 different
styles, and each set. has rails all in and
everything set up so that the customer
may see just how the furniture would look
in his own house. Here are displayed all
kinds of chamber sets in pine, ash, oak,
black walnut, mahogany, etc., etc. They
have sets which the poorest can afford to
bu . and sets which would ornament the
pa ace of a king. You cannot fall after
inspecting this department to be impress-
ed with the energy and push of the firm
who could gather together such a varied
and beautiful asortment ol chamber fur-
niture. On the same floor in the Nassua
Hall building are arranged the samples of
chairs. These represent one each of all
the different styles of dining-room. kitch-
on, and wicker chairs which this firm
handles. On the same floor in the Turne
Hall building, the eye is greeted with a
most elaborate display of crockery of all
kinds, to suit all tastes and pockets, from
the low-priced decorated tea-sets up to the
most delicate French china dinner sets.
Again moving upward we find the dc:
partment devoted to the cabinet and man:
tle beds. This occupies the whole of one
floor in Turin: Hull, and is well worth
more than a passing glance. '
Passing through the llltlZSlVC iron doors
we are once more in Nassau llall. Herc
We find a large assortment of ball stands,
bookcases, desks, wardrobes, etc., and a
little further along in another portion of
: the same floor. are shown the samples of
all the different kinds of mattresses'which
they Iran: in stock and ruake to order.
Lip still another flight arc the samples of
lounges, easy chairs. rockers, etc., and
still ascending we find tho workshops,

1 got ready for shipment.

Hero is also lo-
arrd engine-

. a true bill.
'l‘wo floors in the new building are used
for stock, where one would get lost in the
labyrinth o! passages formed by the sep-
aration of the different kinds and grades
of goods. [lure are kept duplicates of all
the different articles which are exhibited
throughout this vast establishment, and
for tire first time we saw nearly two acres
of surface fl led from the floor to the cell-
ing. with tier upon tier of all kinds of flir-
nitur'c. Most. of the goods here are in
what is termed “knocked down“ forrrr.
That is. it is Inorc or less taken apart in
order to save room in packing it away.
We could go on and fill columns with
an interesting description of the various
departments, biit we must curtail. Sulli-
cieut to say that there is a department for-
evcrythiug in tho house-furnishing line.
and all the articles are arranged in a way
that bespcaks careful attention and a
thorough system. . .
To any who would pass a few hours
profitably and pleasantly, we would rec-
comnreud that t ey pay a visit to the firm
of B. A. Atkinson d; 00., of 827 Washing-
ton street, Boston, Mass, where they will
be courteously received and lrospitably
entertained.

The December term of the Suipcrior
Court convened, Tuesduy, in Tolland. A
grand jury investigated the case of John
Model, the Turnervillc murderer, and found
Fivejurors were secured in the
case of Thomas Daly,,the Bolton murderer
which is the first case on trial. The double
panel was exhausted and another one was
ordered summoned for. Wednesday morning.
The Moodus correspondent of the Times
writes that Professor I“. C. [“0“ ler of Moodus
(East Haddam) purchased last Monday, of
A. E. Purple, the property known as the
“Richmond place,” for $10,000, and also
purchased. on the same day, the Music Hall
building, for which he paid about $5,000.
This is the largest transfer of real estate in
the place for many years. ’.[he Richmond
farm has been much improved, and ts now
one Of the finest in town. It will probably
be converted Into a trotting park, as Profes-
sor Fowler’s many horses require a place for
their exercise and training. -
The New Haven Register, in trying to ac-
courrt for the passage of the vote to repair
the old State House in thatcity. says there
was a great deal of misunderstanding in the
matter, and illustrates by this story:
A voter in the seventh ward was asked to
cast a ballot for repairs.
“Repair what ‘2” » he inquired.
“\_\’hy, the State House."
“Certainly I’ll vote for it. I’ll vote to re-
pair any building in Hartford. , The Hart-
ford people were dying to get the State
House in that city. and they have it. Now
they can repair it.” /
