Then came near being several cases
of gas asphyxiation in this city about
half past two o’clock.this morning.
For some unknown reason the gas
pressure went down and lights that had
been left dimly burning went out.
(‘aptain Gladstone had occasion to go
to police headquarters and found the
gas out and the room full of gas. Im.
mediately suspecting something he be-
gan an inspection and at the City Hotel
found the lights out and the office full
of gas. Landlord Hall was awakened
by a sense of suffocation and found his
sleeping room full of gas. He im-
mediately opened his windows and
turned off the gas supply. Captain
Gladstone found the same state of af-
fairs in several places and only for his
timely notice serious results might
have happened.

The Octoroons.
John W. Isham’s “Octoroons” will
be' the attraction Wednesday and
Thursday evenings next. This enter-
tainment is entirely different fro'm'
anything similar, being original in its
conception and replete with new ideas
in its program which is intelligently
carried out by the cast. The company
is a large one, consisting of thirty com-
edians, specialty artists, dancers, musi-
cians and singers. The scenery was
devised by one of New York’s" best
scenic artists, and those who' have wit-
nessada race course my the opening
farce is an excellent conception and
most humorously portrayed.

Eighth Annual Exhibition at Madison
Square Garden, opening on Tuesday
morning December 29th and closing on
I Saturday evening January 21id. will

been, .. as it‘ is usually in February-
Secretary H. V. Crawford has already
sent out his premium lists showing a
large amount of cash premiums and
many special prizes, and there will be

showing than was made last year, and
entries will include all the famous
varieties and a magnificent showing of
birds, while the turkeys and geese and
ducks and ornamental fowl are already
entered for the liveliest competition.
The special prizes offered by the vari-

cially interesting. The American Poul-
try association have~ jained hands for

The many friends of Clifford Lyon,
son of the late Henry W. Lyon of West-
port, will be pained to learn of h1s
death, which occurred at the insane re-
treat at Middletown Wednesday. Mr.
Lyon was well known and the circum-
stances which led up to his death were
unusually sad. He Was born in West
port and went to Bridgeport to accept a
position as assistant cutter in the tailor-
ing establishment of Oscar Hutchinson.
Up to six years ago he enjoyed the best
of health, but at that time he suffered
an attack of the grip, and as a result
his mind became weakened. Every e1=
fort Was made to check the progress of
the trouble, but it finally became neces-
sary to place him 1n the retreat at Mid-
dletown. His confinement did not im-
prove his condition and for the past
four years his mind has been complete-
ly gone. His death was due to heart
failure, brought on by exhaustion. He:
was27 years of age. The funeral will
be held this afternoon.

The Supreme court has affirmed the
decision of the Superior Court in

husband in a collision at Danbury on

John Breidenthal; the Chairman of
the Populist State Committee of Kan-
sas, and a number of other philoso.
phers of the Bedlam school, are going
to found a. codperative colony. If they
can codperate for six months without
quarrelling, they will have more pru-
dence and greater luck than is usually
bestowed upon statesmen of their
kind. The objects of the proposed 001- l
ony are understood to be educational,
economic and political. In the system
of education adopted many fruitful re-
forms, worthy of the penetrating mind
of Populism, will be introduced. The
basis of the system will be the Popu-
listaxiom that out of nothing every-
thing can be made.
- The‘Cubarfpatriots‘ have‘rwo—n-‘tlfé
right to be considered belligerents.
They have proved their title as brave
and self-restrained men to fitness for
self-government. They have estab-
lished a claim for help upon this Re-
public which the American people rec-
ognize, but which the Cleveland Ad-
ministration .does not. The Adminis-
tration is made up of lawyers, from
the President down, who care more
for precedents and technicalities than
they do for justice and humanity. Al-
ways it will be a blot'uponour history
that we have stood by and permitted
a decayed European monarchy to
wage for two years n. barbarous and
hopeless war‘upon the people of an
American island fighting gallantly for
freedom.

A STORY ABOUT M'SWEE‘lEY. 3
His Pathetic Fancy Picture Cleared Ell
Client.
John McSweeney, of Ohio, chief
counsel in the famous “Star‘ Route”
trials in Washington, was one of the
most eloquent pieadera who ever prac-
ticed at the American bar. His suc-
:ess in jury trials was phenomenal, and
he rarely failed to capture the jury
with his eloquence, no matter how
adverse the evidence might be.
On one occasion Mr. McSweeney was
engaged as counsel for the defence in
a. California murder trial. The case
looked hopeless. There was not a linli
missing in the chain of guilt which
the prosecution had welded. To the
surprise of everybody Mr. McSweeney
submitted no evidence for the defence
Believing that the trial was won, the
State’s Attorney made only a few per.
functory remarks in conclusion, and
:hen the great Ohio pleader faced the
iu1'y to make the concluding argu
nent.
He began in a quiet, friendly, con
versational tone, such as one might use
.n discussing the weather. No refer-
ence was made to the murder, even in-
iirectly, but the boyhood of the prison-
er was quietly and rapidly sketched
with a master hand—his school days
his embarkation in business, his love
1‘ iffairs, his courtship and marriage, hi1
struggles to earn a little home for his
wife and his beloved ones.
The jurors were deeply interested
The jurors were deeply interested
1nd were following the narrative in
:ently. Mr. McSweeney stepped
:loser. In a manner which seemed nl-
nost confidential he drew a vivid word
picture of a pretty country cottage,
with a dooryard bright with flowers
1nd roses climbing over the porch.
Within he showed a faithful and lov~
Lug wife preparing supper—the table
partially set, the tea-kettle steaming
1nd "singing on the stove. 0n the door-
rard gate three ruddy-faced youngsters
were swinging and looking up the road
:0 see who should be the first to catch
l. glimpse of “papa” coming home to
supper.
Suddenly the speaker stopped. Draw-
.ng' himself 11p to the full height of
sis splendid proportions he exclaimed.
in a tone which startled the whole
:0u1'troom by its explosive vehemence:
‘Gentlemen, you must send him home
:0 them!”
The effect was electrical. A roar of
1pplausc followed and one old grizzled
luror, brushing away a tear, .blurted
)ut with an oath: “By -— sir, we’ll
10 it, too.”
Mr. McSweeney instantly stopped
1nd sat down. The jury brought in a
verdict of acquittal without leaving
:heir seats.
Foremost among those who pressed
forward to congratulate the eloquent
)hioan was the prisoner himself, who,
with tears streaming down his cheeks,
wrung his counsel‘s hands and thanked
aim again. and again. But between
nis sobs he managed to say: “No 0th
21' man in the world could have done
:hat! Why, sir, I have no wife n01
rhildren;
Von know.”—Chicago Times-Herald.
UNCLE SALM’S LlBRARIAN.‘ "
-N0&WALE
I never was even married”,
She Ranks Higher Than Any Other Woman
in the Government Employ.
Uncle Sam employs a great many
scientists, and among them are sev-
eral women who are regarded as ex-
perts in their several departments.
Miss Adelaide Hasse enjoys the dis-
tinction of ranking higher oflicially
than any other woman in the Govern)
ment‘ employ. She stands next to the
‘ehief in her department, and acts for
him during his absence. While she
was still a child she. moved to Los
Angeles, Cal. On being graduated
from the high school there she ob-
tained the position of assistant libra-
rian of the Los Angeles Public Library,
and so distinguished herself there as
an organizer, and manager that in
March, 1895, when it was first decided
to establish :1 library of public docu-
ments in NVashington, Miss Hasse was
sent for to take the place of librarian.
Up to that time nobody knew how
many public documents them were, ex-
zept that there was a great accumula’
tion of them piled 11p pell- -mell some-
where in the depths of the Interior De-
partment building.
“There was nothing for me to do,”
said the pretty librarian, “but to put
on a big brown gingham apron and get
down on the floor and go to work.”
She had no help, except simply a couple
of laborers, who moved about the
heavy volumes under her directions.
There are now 1,500 volumes in the li-
brary, and there is room for: 10, 000.
They are all arranged with wonderful
method and exactness, and the cata-‘
logue is most complete. By its aid
the smallest pamphlet can be found in
a moment.
Entirely Different.
“Is not my performance different
from that of any other actor?” asked
the inflated Thespian at the stage
door of the Detroit Opera House.
“It is indeed.” .
“Is not my conception entirely orig;
inal and different from all others?”
“No doubt about it.” ‘
“Is not the reading of the lines dif-
ferent from the reading of alleged ac-
tors?”
“Unquestionably.”
“Are not my stage postures differ-
ent from those of many who mas-
querade as actors?” ‘
“Of course.”
“And my make-up, it is different
i
from the inartistic make-up of most'
Thespians?”
“Very d1ffe1eut ”
“I have been told I resemble Edwin
Booth”—
“Yes.”
“You have noticed. In what way
do I resemble him sir?”
“You are so difierent.”—~Detioit Free
