FAIRFIELD.,A meeting of the Congregational com-

mittee was held, Saturday, at which itwas voted to refer back to Architect Ca- -

dy the plans he had sudmitted for thenew stone church, several suggestionshaving been made whereby the costmight be cut down without impairing thebeauty of the building. The alterationsproposed are a smaller tower, both inWidth and height, whitewood as partsubstitute for oak for interior fittings,shite instead of tile roof and the partialremoval of the porch at the clerical en-

trance. The cost of the church, if builtaccording to the original plans, as esti-mated on a basis of native stone, wouldbe about $40,000 and it was hoped to reduce it to 35.000, as the interior furnishings will cost several thousand dollars.Snccess has attended those in charge ofthe finances and nearly the sum requiredhas already been pledged.

many to be the right one. It la said thatthere Is not money to go over the wholeof this section, but, where roads havebeen worked, they have been done In

thorough aud systematic manner. Thiscraping up a little dlrt-Xroi- u the sides of

the road, every year, to again be scrapedup, the next year and to be paid for yearafter year Is not what the public want.We want better roads and, in order toget them, we must take one piece uttime. It It is a hill, grade It down. If aswamp hole, All It with stones, and, ifthis is continued, our roads will continueto grow better. About a year ago, ourformer selectman, Warren E. Plumbstarted the movement by grading., whatwas known as Bishop .hill.. This, year.our present selectman has taken , up thework and the first labor was the cartingof about l."0 loads of stone and twice asmany of dirt to All in below Sawmill hilland grading the bill. It is now an easyrise. The work of filling in front ofCharles B. Nichols was work that few- -

would have undertaken. Some 450 toIiK) loads of material were carted and thehill in front of William O. Nichols com

pletely takeu away. The last Improvement Is the grading and widening of thehill by David It. Curtlss's and filling inthe hollow. As Time rolls on, nil willappreciate the elVorts put forth to give usbetter roads. This work has not all beendone by the town. Subscriptions have

greatly helped; almost all have done

something and still there is more of thesame to b done. People's eyes are turncd to what Is known as Field hill. Thetime Is not far distant when that will beleveled and lie in the valley. The work-ers In these enterprises have been greatlyencouraged and stimulated by the Vil-

lage Improvement society.

Webb's Academy and Home for Ship-builders is the name of the unique insti-tution founded by William 'II. Webb ofNew York, the construction of which hasalready 1egun at Fordham Hights. MrWebb is a survival of the good old dayswhen Columbia ruled the waves. Hemade a fortune in ship-buildi- and awide reputation as well at home andabroad for the excellence of his brigs andclippers. Doubtless his business to-da- y

would be as flourishing as of yoreif there was any show for ship-builde- rs

in America. But Mr Webb believes thatthis country it still to lead the world inthis industry and therefore he is to spendabout $2,000,000 in the equipment of thisschool for young men who wish to learnthe art of ship aud marine engine building and who may be too poor or

to pay for skilled tuition.In addition to the school, the founderhas also made provision for a home foraged, infirm and indigent men who havespent their lives in this trade.

: We think if some of onr preachers,teachers and parents would, for the timebeing, give the heathen in distant landsa rest, and devote some of their sparetime to the thousands tf alleged ruinedgirls in our cities ; teach these girls thatthere is a future worth living for, showthem how to live right and give them thenecessary, encouragement . to do some-

thing, that society would be the betterfor it, and our confidence in each otherfar stronger than it is at present. Anyman who has committed a sin and hasoutlived that sin, yet is willing to brandand condemn a woman for having com.mitted the same sin, is a coward and acur of the meanest type. -
