Everybody that saw Mr. McKee Ririkiii
at the Opera [louse are iinsfinted in,tlieir
praise of his acting and of the support
given by Miss Mabel llert and tho rest of
the company, and as so many have ex-
pressed a desire to see the play again. no
doubt Music llall will lcfilled next blon-
diiy night. A New York critic says of
the play: “It is strong, but not vehe-
ment in incident and so fullof absorbing
human interest and genuine pathos that
the attention, cnchained a'. the outset, is
held until the end. The true measure of
a play is its effect upon an intelligent
fillilll‘fiC". The heart-beat of the entire
world is attached to the saint- keynote of
syriipathy, for human suffering of a false
tone is quickly recognized. The Run-
away \l’ife’ rtrikcs the keynote firmly
and well and when a heart interest is
concurred the popular v 'rdict may b~
accepted with respect. llotli play and

A Serious Experience “’ith it Dog.
Michael Donovan. who lives in a very
lonesome par: of the Ely Neck mud,
kcqisa very savage bull dog to watch
the house. L15! evening about 8.3
o'clock be was startled by hearing some-
one yelling in his back yard and hearing
his dog barking. llc lighted a lantern,
went out in the yard and found his dog
“Sport,"stauding over Chas. Mitchell's
prostrate form, with a grip on the poor
man’s left arm. Mr. Donovan tried to
call his dog off, but could not. After a
while, with the assistance of a club and
some of the neighbcrs, he managed to
make the brute let go. Mitchell then ex-
plained matters. He said that he was
coming over to see Hr. Donovan and
came through the back yard to cut off
some of the distance, when the dog at-
tacked him. He did not know what to
do so he dropped on the ground and lay
perfectly still. He had a bid wound in
his arm where the dog’s teeth had turn
the flesh. He says he will make no coni-
plairit against Donovan, in it. was his
fault.

ASSOCIATION,
Au Aliii-iuluwiii Introduced In the House
Regarding the Annunciation l‘iilid.
lieprcsetifativu Wolfe in the House has
introduced it iiieaviiru amending a section
of the revised statutes of 1888 relating to
the fund of the Connecticut State Fire-
mi-ii‘s Association. The amendment
provides that money paid into the treas-
urer shrill remain an the Firemen‘s Relief
Fund of (‘otinecticut and shall housed
according to the provisions and by-lnws
and constitution of the association in-
stead of under the present law, Wllll‘ll
states the causes for vi liicli assistance
may be received. It also is made hrrud
enough to take in dependent mothers ha.
sido widows and orphans. It also pro-
viili s that no action at law shall be main-
tained against said association to enforce
any claim or recover any benefit under
this act or under the constitution and by
laws of said association. But if any offl-
ccr or coiiimittce of said association omit
or rt‘flh‘i' to perform any duty imposed
iipiti him or them. nothing herein cori-
taitimi shall be construed to prevent any
proceedings against such oiliccr or corn-
iiiiitce to compel him or them to per-
form such duty.
Mr. O‘Neill, of Waterbury, introduced
a bill designed to prevent the collection
of small claims by retail dealers in intox-
icating liquors, or in other words,dealers
shrill not give credit for less measure
than one quart, under penalty of losing
such debt. He also introduced a bill
providing that no exemption of property
from attachment shall be allowed upon a
debt for $50 or less due for wages.

'l‘hcre spin-areal iii the papers, last
“‘tck, an account of tiring fight between
two Norwalk men for the affection: of
one of Norwalk's fair daughters, and the
account c'incltidvd With the refreshing
and pleasing intelligence that the young
woman refused to liaveanytliing to do
with either men afterward. Down in
South Norvzilk the young men have a
plcasanter tray of doing the business.
So bloody noses or blackened eyes
for them. They form themselves into
clubs of balfa dozen, select the names
of tlicsatne number of girls, put them
in a hat and draw. Then each man
must pay attention to the girl he
draws for one month. when the draw-
ing is done over again. This avoids all
chances for stealing a march on one an-
otlicr, but. what the girl says to the plan
is not made public. It shows what the
inventive Norwalk mind can do and
carry otit the principles of peace which
the Xorwalk heart so ardently admires.
It's a great plan.—Ansonia Sentinel.

Tho Sisters l'r: ed and Fought.
Melvina Howe and Sarah Lovejoy, two
recent converts to the Primitive church
in Bridgeport, met at. the home of Sarah
to indulge in prayer. Melvina was in
liquor, but this only had the effect to
make her cxhortations a little more mus-
cular than usual. She prayed that Sarah
might speedily grow in grace and become
a more consistent christian and be more
useful than she was at present. This did
not find favor with Sarah and a war of
words ensued, Sarah finally had Melvina
arrested for abusive language. The judge
decided that the women were equally to
lame, and discharged the case.

A Family of Ten Nearly Smothercd In 3
Burning Building.
Bernard Garaty of Birmingham was
awakened at half past twelve, Sunday
morning. by a crackling noise and 11 pe-
culiar stifling sensation. He found his
room full of smoke and his bed on fire.
When be rushed out of the room to give
an alarm the whole house was on fire
and he barly escaped. Almost at the
same time Mrs. O'Connor who with her
husband live at: the corner of
Smith and Eighth streets and keep five
boarders, discovered the fire and
awakened the rest of the people
in the house, some of whom were
nearly suffocated with smoke. The fire
started in the ngery store of B. Cook
on the first fl‘lOl’, and before it was put
out. it ll'ltl spread to the third story. The
store was completely gutted and the
tenements above badly damaged. There
were people in the building. most of
whom escaped in their night clothes.
William O'Connor jumped from the sec-
ond story and sprained his foot. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. Mrs.
Udell, a neighbor, says that about twelve
o’clock she saw two men near the bulk!"
ing with alight. ‘ The loss will not ex-
ceedi‘31,000 and is well covered with in-
surance excepting the effects of the ten-
ante.
