A Work of Art.

The crayon portrait of Mrs. C. E. Har-
ris, which was presented to her husband
Rev. C. E. Harris, by the congregation
of the Methodist Church Monday night.
and executed by Mrs. M. F. Ely, deserves
more than the passing notice it received
in the account of that occasion. It was
not only a most excellent likeness, but a
very superior work of art in every re»
spect. Every detail was wrought out in
the most perfect'mub‘e'r‘ and with fine
artistic skill, bringing out the best eflscts
of true portraiture. Mrs. Ely’s long
study and large practice in this cis- or
work, and her love of the art, has made

A IEIIOUI CUMMI-

 

:Tba Abusos that am. Ito-J. w. Smith
has Been Subjected 'l'o.

Sunday evening as Mrs. Benjamin W.
Smith was returning home with her
children from a day's visit with her
mother, Mrs. Miller, who resides on
Woodward ave. she was encountered by
her husband and riceived such harsh
treatment that Mr. Smiih has been arrest
ed, and also his father who was with him
at the time.

William Miller and his mother were
accompanying Mrs. Smith and her child.
ren home. They had gone only about
half way when they were met by Mr.
Smith and his father, who demanded the
release of the children. The old gentle-
man waved a big club around the head
of Mrs. Miller while Will Miller held
Benjamin Smith. againsta stone wall.
Mrs. Miller succeeded in getting the
children back to her home, where they
have been ever since.

One week ago, Mrs. Smith says, that
her husband returned home under the
influence of liquor and threatened to
take the lives of the children. He went
outside the house and fired several
charges from a revolver into the door of
the house. The bullet holes can be seen
in the door, there being a large number
of them. Another time he became pro-
voked and threw his pistol on the floor
with such force that the pistol went off
and the ball lodged in the cupboard.
Mrs. Smith has been subjected to indig-
nities for several years that she has not
made known even to her relatives until
the recent trouble.

it is said that Mr. Smith recently re-
ceived a White Caps notice warning him
that if he did not stop drinking and give
more attention to his family his bones
would be bleached. The suggestive skull
and crossbones adorned the paper on
which the document was written and
be attributed it to some member of his
wife's family.

A hearing in the case will beheld next
Saturday.

“COMO.

So much hss been said and written
about Mr. Thomas W. Keene. the dis-
tingsished tragedian, who Will occupy
the boards at Music Hall tomorrow
night, that almost any praise uttered in
regard to him has a flavor of age, but,
after all, it is often the truth that "old
things are best," and it is a pleasure to
recount the good points of old and popu-
lar friends. Aside from the genius and
study shown in Keane's work. one very
essential point that has helped him to his
great success is his wonderfully expres-
sive face, which is a particularly fortun-
ate one. The exceeding mobility which
it possesses makes it easier for the actor
to give variety to his roles. Naturally it
is poetical in its expression and emotion-
al, though never without a lurking sense
of humor. Into this fine face there has
come lately an expression difilcult to de-
scribe, but none the less existent, which
marks a greater earnestness of thought.
No actor on the American stage has had
such a record as Keene. from the point
of popularity. From the very first be
has received the unstinled patronage still
approbation which is in the power of
the public to bestow, and in an age and
among people more given to facetious-
no. than praise. and fonder of ridiculing
its popular men than honoring them,“ is
worthy of note that Thomas W. Keene
is taken seriously and enthusiastically.
He will be seen here as Shylock in
"The Merchant of Venice." His char-
acterizations are too well known to need
commendation. in addition to Messrs.
Alibi]! Elliott, Eugene Home. Adolph
Jackson, Carl Ahrendt, Mrs. Baker and
other old favorites of former years, he
has added to his company Mr. George
Learock, one of the best known and
most popular of legitimate actors, and
Mia Louise Pomeroy. who for many
years has been playing Shakespeare's
heroines at the head of her own com-
pany. New and correct costumes, arms,
banners. etc., have been especially pro-
cured for this season's work, and a de-
lightful entertainment is assured.

[acts About the Allen 8|. 3|. E. Church,
New York.

The prospects are that Rev. C. M.
Pegg, of New York, will be sent to the
East Norwalk Methodist church.

Three great objects have been secured
after a struggle progressing through the
mom of his two years‘ stay in New York.
The Allen street church has been sold
and the society removed from one of the
worst streets, for church purposes, to be
found in New York. The feeble, dying
remnant of a once great organization
has been swung round to a united rela-
tion with the powerful New York City
M. E. f‘. 13. Society.

The large property involved has been
placed in the hands of capable business
men and aJewish synagogue has been
purchased for 970,000, out of which, at
the expense of a few thousands more, to
make an Allen street memorial church.

 

A Busy Two Weeks.

This week and next will be among the
busiest of the year at the Young Men's
Christian Association. The ladies auxi-
liary met yesterday afternoon to plan for
several undertakings; the entertainment
committee is busy arranging for a most
succemful concert by the Harvard Quar-
tet; the gymnasium class is exercising
daily and nightly to retain the banner at
the gymnasium exhibition on Monday.
All committees of the association will
meet to arrange their reports for the an-
nual meeting of April 8th and the work
that naturally accumulates at the end of
the year in the collection of dues and
the canvass for new members, must be
actively pushed. All the regularework,
the services, and the social duties must
go on without interruption, for no Y. M.
C. A. should be so loaded down with the
machinery of thenork as to forget that
its object first and last is the spiritual
and moral elevation of young manhood.
And all this goes to show why this is
called a Young Men’s Christian Associa-
tion work instead of Y. M. C. A. fun.

Queer Result of \FDog l’lglit.

A dog fight between two bulldogs,
says the Bridgeport Farmer, took place
in a barn in West Stratford at 8 o'clock
Sunday evening. The affair terminated
in a very unexpected manner. The fight
opened vigorously, both dogs receiving
severe punishment. One of the brutea,
Dennis Kelley, was urging the animal
on, the animal turned and attacked him,
biting him in the leg in two places be-
fore it could be torn away. The other
dog, seeing the move, became imbued
with the same spirit and turned on the
man who was acting as its handler, but
before it could inflict serious injury a
spectator grasped it by the throat and
held it fast. Both handlers refused to
have anything furtherto do with the
contest and as nobody present could be
induced to fill their places, the party dis.
persed, without bringing the combat to
a close.

Old fllrnni‘a Nubian.
Members of the Masonic fraternity
generally will be pleased to know that
there is a prospect of a speedy settlement
of the trouble at present existing be-
tween the Grand lodge of Connecticut
and Old Hiram lodge of New Haven.
The trouble arose in consequence of
Hiram's refusal to abandon its system
of ancient work in conformity to the
