, ent day, when by.code a, long sentence l is transmitted in a secoI:1.. MT. HubbeI1 was fine example of young manh nhood-handsome of face. tall and 1.-the of stature. There were many Bridgeport beauties. fascinated by the word ers'of the newly discov- cred telegraph, who f1ocked in bevies to learn it's mysteries from the oper- ator's, lips.
 One of these was Miss Corne1ia Mallory. Many of the Boys in Blue" who volunteered for service in the war with the South were inspired by the sweet voice of Miss Mallory. There are few alive today who will remember how fervently she sang pa triotio songs in Franklin hall, during ns; Phillips, Edward Everett. Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher. Gov ernor William A. Buckingham, Col Father Thomas. Synnott and many other distinguished men.
 A Photographic Romance
 Miss Mallory was beautiful, both such occasions attired in drapings of red, white and blue. It was not to be wondered at that electric sparks flashed from the eyes of Gersh om Hubbell when he explained to her the vagaries of the telegraph.
 A brilliant wedding followed and many of the Grand Army men who have lived to the present time re-
 
 ration still in their old but patriotic hearts. Mr. and Mrs, Hubbell died many years ago. His brother, Smith HubbbeIl who lived on Washington avenue, near West, died more recent ly.
 Thus Bridgeport beheld the begin ming of the telepragh and the movies" but more wonderful still, perhaps, was the beginning of the tell ephone.
 Thomas DooIittle, well known Black Rock inventor, tried his best to get Brfd dgeporters interested in the te1e- phone. He offered stock at 50 cents a share. with no takers. People a wire. But MT. Doolitt1e persisted. !. and with indefatigable energy suc- ceeded in getting handful of people to place telephones in their homes. A building, corner of Fairfield avenue and Water street, which constituted the beginning of the telephone plant in Bridgeport.
 Phone Service Was Primitive
 When one person desired to talk to another, he called up the telephone office and inquired if MT So and So had 8 telephone If the operator re- piled in the affirmative, MT. So and So was called. There were no tele- phone books and no numbers.
 There were only two 'fCentrals" in those early days. In the day time it was Miss Coggswe1l. and in the eve- ming, up to o'clock, the janitor was supposed to answer all telephone calls. But there were few to answer at that late hour.
 And that was the way the telephone started In Br1dgepor For contrast, look at the service todayi Every ody is shouting 'fStratford" or 'No- the latter would be if he could only hear it!
