“ “llEN. HAW_Lfl ORATES

The celebration Of the founding of
Cleveland 100 years ago was begun at
midnight. Tuesday, by a centennial
salute of 100 guns reinforced by the
screeching of steam whistles, the ring-
ing of bells and the explosion of fire-
works. '

The national salute was fired at 5:30
Wednesday morning, and citizens of
Cleveland, as well as the '40, 000 strangers
within the gates, turned out to cele-
brate.

The exercises of the day took place in
the great armory where the recent
Methodist conference was held. Mayor
McKisson delivered the address of wel-
come. Then there were some remarks
by James H. Hoyt.

Senator Joseph B. Hawley was then
introduced and delivered the oration of
the day.

When Mayor Mc Kisson in his address
of welcome, mentioned the name Of
Major McKinley, the great audience
broke into loud cheers and applause.
Handkerchiefs and fans were waved
and the demonstration was like that so
often witnessed in a national conven-
tion. .

President Cleveland sent the follow-
ing message which was read by James
H. Hoyt:

“I congratulate the citizens of Cleve-
land upon the close of her first centen-
nial, and wish it may be only the be-
ginning of herzgreatness and prOSper-
it .”

JThe dispatch was warmly applauded.
A centennial ode written for the occa-
sion by 001. J. J. Platt was read, and
Governor 0. Vincent Coffin of Connect-
icut was introduced. He was heartily
greeted by the audience. His speech
was short. It was historical in tone,
and full of gracious compliments to
Ohio, to Ohio men, and to the people
of Connecticut. At the close of Gov-
ernor Cofiin’s speech the audience rose
and gave three cheers for “Old Con-
necticut.”

J. G. W. Cowles of Cleveland an-
nounced that John D. Rockfellow au-
thorized him to say that he Offered as
agift to the people of Cleveland 276
acres of land for park purposes, valued
at more than $600,000. The announce-
ment of this handsome gift was en-
thusiastically cheered. Governor Bush-
nell made a short speech of welcome
to the Connecticut and other eastern
guests. He was followed by Major Mc-
Kinley, who was given a cordial greet-
ing when introduced as the next presi-
dent. He made a speech reviewing the
history of the city and the western
reserve. He said:

“Anniversaries like this increase our
pride in the men who wrought so ex-
cellently in spite of the trials and hard-
ships from which the present genera-
ation would shrink. It encourages
civic pride and appeals to the highest
and best sentiments of our hearts and
lives. We have heard with pride how
marvelo’us has been Cleveland’s prog-
ress. This is the accomplishment of a
century. Who made all this possible?
The original band Of fifty pioneers un-
der the leadership Of Moses Cleaveland,
of Connecticut.”

Connecticut is well represented. In
addition to the mayor and council Of
Hartford, Governor Cofiin has his staff
with him.

Sues For Services.

Mrs. Walter Gray widow of the late
Walter Gray, has brought suit against
her husband’s estate to recover the sum
Of $1,400 for; services as his book-keeper
for six years. Gray died leaving a will
in which the wife thinks she did not re-
ceive what she ought and that others
were benefitted by what ought to have
been her own. The case is being heard
before Levi Warner and Tallmadge
Baker, who are acting as commissioners
in the matter of adjustment. Hurlhutt
and Gregory appear for the plaintiff and
Light and Taylor for the heirs. The
arguments were heard this morning.

 

BURGLAESJALLED.

On Wednesday morning when Loren-
zo Dibble arrived at his grocery store
on North Main street, South Norwalk,
he found that during the night thieves
had entered by means of a rear window
leading to the Consolidated railroad
tracks, and made off with some small
change. The glass in the window had
been broken and the catch pushed back
and the window pulled down from the
top.

As nothing of great value had been
taken Mr. Dibble nailed up the window
and kept quiet suspecting it to be the
work of boys.

Thursday morning he was startled
to find that his store had again been
visited and a box of soap and a small
amount Of money taken. The thief or
thieves had again gained entrance from
the railroad tracks, but instead of fa-
cing the window Mr. Dibble had nailed
up, entrance was made by smashing out
the window glass of the other rear win-
dow and crawling through the opening.

In addition to the money and soap
the burglars carried away six silver
plated knives and half a dozen silver
plated forks.

A search of the premises revealed
footprints in the sand outside the Win-
dow and upon the blotter on top of Mr.
Dibble’s desk, which stands directly
under the window, were other well de-
fined footsteps.

The burglary was reported to Chief
Vollmer and he at once telephoned to
the surrounding towns and took the
train for Bridgeport in hopes of finding
the silverware in one of the pawn shops
of that city. The Chief is of theopinion
that the burglary was committed by
some of the hangers on about Wash-
burn’s circus which passed through this
city last night.

FIRfiiFIIIRHELD.

Lightning caused a serious fire in
Fairfield Wednesday night, 11 O’clock.
The electric fluid struck the barn of
Thomas Connell, whose residence is
near the French homestead and a little
west of the Chemical works.

The barn was entirely consumed with
its contents, consisting of a number of
tons of new hay, farming utensils, wag-
ons and grain. Two horses were saved.
A large number Of fowls in a coop ad-
joining the barn were lost. The loss
amounts to probably a thousand dollars,
but whether the owner had any insur-
ance could not be learned.

 

 

In the Nick of Time.

Alonzo Nickerson of Chapel street
who is in feeble health came very close
to being “knocked out” by a locomo-
tive yesterday afternoon, at the Water
street crossing. He started to cross
the tracks after the gates had been
dropped and the alarm gong was ring-
ing. He became apparently bewildered
when in the middle of the tracks and
did not seem to realize the fact that a
locomotive was approaching. Seeing
the man’s danger Lorenzo Adams ran
to his assistance and pushed him from
the tracks as the locomotive dashed by
on its way to Danbury.

 

*-

Lawn Party.

Something over forty friends of Miss
Lulu Sch’reyer were present at a lawn

 

nipauk. The lawn was lighted by Chin-
ese lanterns and vari-colored lights and
the scene was a pretty one. Unfortun-
ately for the merry-makers a storm
came up and proved a dampener for
outside enjoyments, but the pretty
hostess was equal to the occasion and
invited her guests into the house and
the pleasures were continued until a
late hour.

 

Poison in Wedding Cake.

Mrs. Charles Bartels of Sherman ave-
nue, New Haven, received by mail a
day or two since a package of cake and
a vial of wine. She received also a let-
ter, signed “S. R." which stated that
the cake and wine were portions of her
corrospondent’s wedding feast. The
latter found the cake saturated with
carbolic acid and a great quantity of
belladonna in the Wine. The police
are investigating.

 

CO.<—-——

Potatoes Plentiful.

Farmers coming to town report that
the potato crop will be large again this
year unless some unforseen change oc.
curs. This argues well for low prices
again this.fall, a situation more pleas-
ing to theconsumer than the producer.
Last year many farmers wintered their
crop only to .meet a glut and low
prices in the spring. This fall they will
sell.

,HAD A _c_Lo_s_E cALL

During Wednesday night’s storm
the house owned and occupied by C. P.
Tocque at Broad River was struck by
lightning.

All of the members of the household
had retired and were asleep, when they
were suddenly aWakened by a crash
that was at first thought had rent the
house in twain.

The occup ints on awakening detected
a strong sulphurous Odor. and it then
occurred to them that the building had
been struck by lightning, and they
hastily dressed and proceeded to make
investigations.

One member of the family, William
Tocque, had up to this time failed to
put in an appearance, and it occured to
those that were aroused that perhaps
the lightning had killed him, and they
hastened to his room where they found
him in an unconscious :tate.

After a time be revived sufficiently to
speak but up to noon iO-Liny had not
fully recovered from the effects of the
shock he had received. He remem-
bered nothing Whatever about hearing
the bolt as it ploughed its way into the
room, and was surprised to find the
other members of the family in his
room when he Was awakened.

It was seen next morning that the
lightning first struck a post in front of
the house and from there found its way
into the room where William Torque
lay sleeping and failing to arouse him
put him in a sounder sleep and dashed
out of the room iLt) the open air tear-
ing ofi‘ the clupboards on the side of
the building and spent its force in the
ground a short distance from the house.

Other members of the family were
more or less shocked but escaped ser-
ious injury. \Vill speaks of his escape
as the closest call he ever experienced.

The damage done will not be in ex-
cess of two hundred dollars.

Beware of Ointments for Caartr'n

Nature‘s Laboratories.

The art and cunning of nature are
described as Often by poets as by scien-
tists. It is a charming, delicate piece of

. work to put a little green stalk, a. little

green leaf, one after the other, in the
way of the sunbeams. in order that they
they gather :13: our earth the power
which the distant, inexhaustible centre
of our system of worlds supplies. How
beautiful is our earth with the fine,
green covering, and how useful it is to
her!

Itis not easy to make the power of
the light elastic. We humankind have
found no way to do that. But the
plant world has this power. Every
gran leaf, every green stalk receives

- a green coloring matter, which we name

chlorophyll, which the plants have the
ability to absorb from the sunbeams.
This coloring matter is a product of the
living elements of the cells; it lies in
the infinitely numerous little rooms
which form these plant cells. Every
one of these little rooms is a. small la-
boratory which draws its creative pow-
er from the sunlight. For that end all
the green leaves and stalks gleam and
wave in the sunlight, because they are
all continually busy absorbing it.

A Test of Honesty.

The highly respectable French sim-
pleton, Monsieur Calino, discovered the
other day that he had left his umbrella
somewhere. As he had visited three
stores, he knew that it must be in one
of them. So he started back and visited
all three in tum. '

“It has not been found here.” he was
told in the first store, and Monsieur
Calino shrugged his shoulders at little
and went out.

At tlie next store the same response
was made. Monsieur Calino shrugged
his shoulders still higher, and went to
the third store.

There the umbrella was waiting, and
was promptly turned over to him.

“Well,” he exclaimed with satisfac~
tion. “I must say that you are more
honest than they are at‘ those other
stores l”

Suitable.

"Josiar.” said the young man’s father,
“do ye remember what ye said the other
day ’bout nor. being able ter do what I
asked yer to round the farm sence ya
got eddicated, cause ye wanted su’thin’
deep ter occupy yer ’tention‘l"

“Yes, father.”
