Commenting upon the Interference of
Brandegee in the Bridgeport
UClty Court contest, the South Norwalk
gam I In ill says:
It is bad enough, surely, when the
states national senators butt into local
scraps Imagine Piatt and Hawley do
ing that! bat when this petty inter
ference, Instead of being resented and
latiilBafl by the state senators, is wel
uomad and endorsed, that is worse yet
gram ovary point of view of "good poli
tics except, of course, on the theory
that the people care for none of those
things. And don't remember them over
Bight.
But there 1st an excuse for Senator
Brandegee. He responded to an ap
peal for aid from one of the two men
who re-elected him, viz.. Sheriff Haw
ley. Had he refused, it would have
gross ingratituts.
The death of Mr. Ket cfcam renders it
passible for Mayor Lee to fulfil that al
leged promise to appoint Ex-Mayor
"Reynolds to the board of Appraisal of
Retrofits and Damages, but he may
hold that such an appointment, after
I having denied the promise would be in
She nature or a coniession mat tne
promise was made as alleged and that
the denial was insincere. The former
point, advanced by some of the May
er's friends; that he did not desire to
become identified In ever so slight de
gree with the twenty-year water con
tract which was signed by Reynolds,
la not now effective, the Mayor having
practically identified himself with the
water company's case at hearings in
Hartford.
There are many aspirants to the va
cant office; the Mayor has an oppor
tunity of making one friend and a
number of enemies.
Xr. Dobson of Riverton has issued a
letter, In which he says: "No more
credit, no more deferred payments, and
no more dead-beats will be allowed, nor
will any drunks be attended." This is a
black-listing of dead-beats and drunk
ards a boycott which does not come
under the Supreme Court decision. Dr.
Dobson is exereising a perfect right,
and yet, as the Hartford Times says:
The dead-beat and the drunkard
doubtless constitute an embarrassing
financial problem. To defend them is
difficult; to justify them is impossible.
But isn't the rule which Dr. Dobson
lays down too rigid and positive? Are
there not emergencies and occasions
. when the doctor must wholly ignore
his pocketbook and respond to the
. calls of humanity? Are there not
many times in the career of every
lysician when tne man must be put

I-beat and a drunkard miserable

The New Jersey Legislature has
adopted a modification of the Connec
ticut automobile law as to the speed
limit. It is raised to twenty-five miles
an hour in the open country, but with
the qualification that a motor vehicle
shall not be driven "at any speed
greater than is reasonable, having re
gard to the traffic and use of high
ways, or so as to endanger the life or
limb or to injure the property of any
person." In substance, this provision
is that automobiles may run 25 miles
an hour if road and traffic conditions
are favorable and if such speed will not
endanger life, limb or property. This
is, substantially, the Connecticut law.
If observed by autoists or enforced by
officers. It is an effective measure of
safety.
Railway Magnate Harriman who
lately seems to be fond of being inter
viewed, says he favors "government
supervision and regulation" but It must
he adds, be "combined with protec
tion." He would not, however, have
"regulation by government extend to
the issuance of railroad securities, for
It is none of the people's business, to
put it bluntly, how much securities and
in what form they are issued so long
as the railroad is run in the interest of
the people and so long as it gives the
greatest possible unit of service that
lies within it."
Mr. Harriman does not desire any
governmental interference with the wa
tering of stock or with the rake-off of
the promoters of combinations such
is the plain meaning of his objection.
He asserts that such procedures are
"none of the people's business." He
is very much in error. As the peo
ple must pay, in passenger and freight
rates, dividends upon watered capital,
it is very much their business wheth
er or not there shall be governmental
regulation of the issuance of railroad
securities.

FAIRFIELD
Dope Chapel Concert A Ladies Tea
Another Wedding A Sensation
" Gypsies Famous Sunday School.
A large audience filled Hope Chapel
on Thursday evening to listen to the
concert given by the young people who
are connected with the Christian En
deavor Society. The music began at
about 8 p. m., and the first number
on the program was a trio two flutes
and a violin, followed by the Oneida
quartet which sang 'Juniata." For an
encore the quartet gave "I've lost my
little Doggie." This was received with
applause. Miss Marion Donaldson
followed with a reading, "Uncle Sam's
Letter," and for an encore gave "The
Fly on the Wall." The next number
was a duet on the piano by Misses Sa
die Deyo and Louise Forsythe. Miss
Iva King followed with a reading, and
John Buckingham played "The Magic
String" on the mandolin, followed by an
encore. There was more singing by
the Oneida quartet and Miss Maud
Perry sang "Silver Threads Among the
Gold." Altogether the concert proved
to be very satisfactory.
Invitations have been issued for the
marriage on the 14th Inst., in South
port, of Miss Grace Banks, Sister of
the Honorable Speaker of the House, at
the family residence on the Shore road,
to Mr. Bishop, of Lafayette St.,
Bridgeport. Mr. Bishop is said to be
connected with a steamship line which
takes him away from home a good
deal. It is understood that Mr. and
Mrs. Bishop will reside with Miss
Banks' mother at the homestead.
If rumor may be relied upon, there
is a domestic sensation in town, which
is giving a good deal of food for
thought as well as conversation. A
well known gentleman feels that his
affections have been supplanted in the
bosom of his family by another man.
Possibly it is but a dream after all.
A delightful and largely attended
social gathering took place In the par
lors of the Congregational church on
Thursday afternoon, when some 40 or
more ladies met to sew for the mis
sionary cause, and at six o'clock gave
a supper to such gentlemen and la
dies as desired to partake. A very
elaborate menu was served, consisting
of shrimp salad, escalloped potatoes,
biscuit of various kinds, cakes, tea,
guava Jelly from Palm Beach, beans,
chipped beef, etc. Mrs. A. P. Wake
man, the President of the Society, sat
at the head of one of the long tables
and poured the tea. Dr. and Mrs.
Frank S. Child were at the head oAan
other table, and gathered around Tnem
were Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wakeman,
Miss Emma F. Wakeman, Mrs. Brew
er, Miss Bessie Betts, Mrs. Fry, Mrs.
Hayes, Mrs. O. C. Jennings, Mrs. W.
O. Burr, the Misses Glover, Misses
Ruth and Annie Child, Mrs. L G.
Smith, Mrs. W. H. Whaley, and many
others.
Six wagon loads of very dirty look
ing gypsies came to town yesterday
and camped for a while on the public
square, attracting a good deal of at
tention. Their salutation to white
folks was: "Hello! Good Luck!" There
were in the company numerous babies
and children and dogs, while the poor
and patient horses appeared to be in
the need of oats. The women want
ed to buy calico and asked for a butch
er's shop.
Ground is being broken on the Mill
Plain road for a new dwelling.
Mrs. E R Banks has been passing

Gentlemen Great Chiefs Matters
Personal.
Carpenters were at work yesterday
making preparations to place a new
series of windows in the lower story of
the Congregational church. The intent
is to remove the present rather din
gy stained glass and put in its place
window panes which will be more
cheerful and let in more light. As
matters now are the interior of the
church suffers from too much "dim
religious light."
It is gratifying to note that a num
ber of local residents believe in having
trees set out along the streets where
they are needed. Father O'Conner
will cause half a dozen maple trees to
be placed around the lot on which the
rectory stands and along the sidewalk
where the new church is to be built.
Next door Mr. Swan has had a number
of trees set out in front of his resi
dence, and Mrs. Bunnell has done the
same thing with reference to the

Next Sunday evening Mr. Bullock

Triumphing Man."
Father O'Conner will bless and dis
tribute the palms to-morrow. He se
cured a supply long ago. He is plen
ning to have the A. O. H. take Holy
Communion in a body on Easter Sun
day,, and they are to be escorted to the
church by the men of the parish. These
will meet at the residence of Mr. Jas.
Sexton on Stratford avenue, and march
to St. James' church. There is likely
to be several hundred in the proces
sion. A brother of Mr. William Wilson of
this town, leaves Bridgeport to-day
with his family to take up his resi

That is a strange incident which be
fel Mr. Hughes, who keeps the news
stand, one night last winter. While
he was asleep in his room some one en
tered and got away with a handsome
sum of money. They took a bunch of
keys, which were on the table. A week
or two ago the keys were found on the
table, where someone had placed them.
It looks as if the spirits were playing
some of their old tricks.
It is now thought Mrs. Gunther will
not return to town until after Easter.
While she has been gone a building
which stood in the rear of her house
has been moved and will be trans
formed into a garage. Mrs. Gunther
will hardly know her old home when
she gets back Such sudden changes
are very distressing.

City and Chicago. While in Ca'ifornia
they visited the ostrich and alligator
farms. But after all there is no place
like old Stratford.
There were six births in town dur
