The members of the Ariun Singing
Society felt happy last evening when
they saw such it large crowd at their
fourth ltllntlnl Illitrlllh t'IIIi' Imll. Nearly
every seat in tlieibntcouy was occupied
and so large was the crowd down stairs
that during the concert by lleins's band
the gully dressed marqueradera prome-
naded and whiled away the time as best
they could.
The costumes were of a great variety.
There were not as many elaborate ones
as usual but the dancers scorned to have
selected suits for comfort rather than
display.
It was 9.80 o‘clock when the comet
sounded for the grand march tostnrt.
As the inspiring strains peeled forth the
happy couples wheeled into I'no and in
a few minutes the confusion .hat shortly
before looked like a whirlwind of glitter-
ing colors was transformed into an ord-
erly procession. It was led by the floor
committee, Charles Bresscl, Conrad En-
gcl, Charles Gehrmann, llenry Froeb,
Julius Streb, Charles Schaub, lienry
Wolf, Charles (llueck. Their costumes
represented Spanish princes and ware
greatly admired by the spectators. The
march was perfect in every respect.
Considering that there were 17:) couples
on the floor the leaders deserve much
credit for going through It without an
interruption. As the line marched eight
abreast the lockers on applauded vigor-
ously. The sight was a grand one and
everybody spoke in praise of it.
At the close of the grand march sets
were formed for the Snratogalanciers.
At the eighth dance tho masks were
taken off and the prizes awarded to the
best groups. There were only two groups,
six jockeys and six men representing ohl

hold his praise from Mrs. Burnett’s

have to be properly covered. This will

This estimable lady was greeted by a

The speaker was introduced by Rev. Mr.

Mrs. Dr. Boutwell presided at the piano.
Mrs. Barney spoke at length upon the
enormity of the whiskey traffic, and gave
most. appalling statistics us to its awful
growth in this country. She give a

wonderful tale of sorrowful pleading,
hopeful endeavor and fiayciful work.
Tears were seen in many eyes as the ora-

cruel drink traffic.
She closed with a most eloquent ‘np—

Thlnk They See a Parallal.
The all absorbing topic among the
towns between this city and Greenwich
now is the scheme for a parallel railroad
between New York and New Haven ‘ to
compete with the New York, New Hav-
en In Hartford. Norwalk is alive to the
subject, and its citizens to the number
of thousands, it is said, have signed peti-
tions 0 the General Assembly, asking
that the bill authorizing an increase of
the capital stock of the Bousatonic Rail-
road company to $4,500,000, be granted.
These citizens feel that the meaning of
the Housatonic‘s movement is a compete
ing road which will pass through the
town and near its ccntre,nnd thus be
the means not only of securing greater
accommodations and quicker time than
now, but of enhancing the value of their
property. The hearing on the'orlginal
bill before the committee will bercnum-

chance to appear, hear and he heard If

A Slot Machine Rejects Counterfelts.
An ingenious machine was recently
exhibited to the postmastervgeneral. It
is an adaptation of the put-a-nickel-in-
the-slot machine to the sale If postage
stamps. A sheet of stamps is cut into
rIIlpt-l the width of two stamps and these
slips are wound around a cylinder inside
of the machine. A nickel is placed in the
slot which drops down, starts an electric
current, which causes the stamp cylinder
to revolve. the slip of stamps glides along
and passes under a row -of needles which
drops down and cuts off two stamps.
The owner of the nickel waits a few sec-
code after his money disappears and then
shoves down a metallic button and two
stumps make their appearance at an
aperture in the lower part of the machine.
It is proposed by the inventors to place
these machines in stores and prominent
places about a city. If the department
approves the plan they will adapt the
machine so that two pennies or a ten
cent piece can be used with the result
that one two cent stamp or five stamps
can be obtained. In case a spurious coin
is used a magnet in the interior detects
the fraud and throws it to one side.—

Sure Cure for Diphtheria.
Here Is It diphtheria remedy extracted
from the Belfast (Ireland) Witness. It is
certainly simple enough. If it is indeed
what it is claimed for it, it ought to be
widely circulated:
"Should you be attacked with diphth-

and speedily cured without a doctor.
When it was raging in England a few
years ago I accompanied Dr. Field on his
round to witness the so-called won-

and stirred with his finger instead of a

The Story About a Shortags in the Money

A Middletown dispatch to the New
Haven Union gives the current talk as to
a shortage in the money order depart-
ment of the Middletuwn postofllce. The
money order clerk was I). J. Cody, who
has now been transferred to another dc-
partmeiit. The story goes that various
sums of money were taken during his
temporary absence; that he could not
discover the thief and has been making
the fuss good as but as possible, and that
when a recent examination by an in-
spector showed it shortage of about $50,
the drawer contained a memorandum
giving the exact sum. If is added that

The New Haven News quotes a man
whom it says to be well informed as to
the plan of the Standard Oil company in
New Haven, as follows: “When the
trnct of 80 feet on Bullock avenue was
obtained, within a month, the company
announced that a storage tank would
soon be built for refiiitd oil to supply the
retail trade in this our. The officers of
the company told me last Saturday that
they had all the land down there they
wanted. A plot 80 by 500 feet, they
said, was quite large enough, and the
price it cost them, $5,800, did not on-
courage buying any more on specula-
tion. I am sure that the Hallock street
purchase was only a blind to disguise
their real purpose of buying the land
along the Derby road, the first tract pur-
chased within a month being that bound-
ed by Thom. West and Eddy streets,
and the second securvd only last. week,
the Burwcll property on the corner of
Washington avenue and Cedar street
Both these lots are close by the Derby
road, which the Standard magnates real-
ly control. nnd their interests are there-
fore centered in that part of the city, not
way down by the C. dars, wherea rail-
road connection would be possible only
over the tracks of the hostile road. These
two last purchases are nearer the center
of the city and consequently more avail-
able for distributing stations. Why, the
Burwell tract is abundantly large enough
for tanks, etc., and would store all the
refined oil New Haven could use in
months. This is the Standard's purpose.
There never has been any plan of refin-
ing oil in this city. Unless the pointers
l have received are away off, within a
short time there will be a full-rigged
Standard Oil supply station pretty near
Washington avenue and Cedar street.”

Shortly before noon yesterday the larg-
est of the three engines at J. B. Sargent
& Company’s factory, New Haven, be-
came disabled and the machinery in the
north foundry came to a stop. The cylin-
der head had been blown out and there
was an immense escape of steam, the
automatic fire extinguisher being heated
to such a degree that many of the men
were deluged with a flood of water.
Some of the men in the shop ran out as
if panic stricken when the biasing of es-
caping steam was heard, but the major-
ity quietly ascertained the cause of the
trouble. The work in the north foundry,
where about 100 men are. employed, will
be delayed a few days.
