The lndies and gentlemen of St. Paul‘s

at the Opera House on the afternoons
mid evenings of Wednesday and Thurs-
day of this week, which is in several
respects quite novel in character, and
doubtless the attendance will be large as
the object is forthe benefit of the Sunday
school, which has done and is still doing
so much good for the younger portion
of the parish.
The entertainment includes a bazaar,
supper and several novel departures from
the stereotyped fair. Included in the
novelties is an Indian camp,gypsies with
nttratictive articles for sale. and a stand
for the sale of vegetables. fresh each day
from the genderer who raises and done
ates them to the school, and an abund-
ance of fresh and beautiful flowers,
together with delicious pastry and con-
‘fectionery, and dolls in all sorts of cor!
tnmes for the little ones. The greatest
innovation, however, Will be twelve
young ladies in costume, representing
the "Kensington Training School for
Nurses," who will appear on the stage at
different times during the day and even-
ing and practice a new manual of arms,
which promises to be exceedingly nt-
tractive, and should be witnessed by
every bachelor within coming distance.

IEYi ll'S ISLIND.
Parting won; a. Thankful-
noss by its I-‘ortuor Owner.
&Ii'lor Sentinel:
You kindly invited me to detail some-
thing of rdy experience at Keyser Island
now that it has passed into other bands.
To do so would involve a book, hence
[can only make a book of reference to
events that have transpired in the thirty
years which have been spent so pleasant»
I] and happily at our beautiful island
home.
Thirty years ago when I purchased the
place tor 01,500, I was visited by two of
Norwalk‘s prominent citizens, who asked
in in sympathetic kindness if I ever
expected to make a borne out of this
forlorn and rocky island, where no fruit
or shade trees could possibly grow, and
so far distant from civilization.
My reply wns, “Wait and see."
But the trees did grow; the shrubbery
and flowers became a wilderness of blos-
soms: the boulders disappeared and
formed the sea walls for the three-quar-
ters of a mile drive that skirted Long
Island Sound,and one and a half miles of
a four-foot fiower border marked the
roads and shaded walks over the place,
and this within the next succeeding five
years. My enjoyment in life has ever
sprung from.
“sharing others sorrows. others joys."
Hence it has been very pleasant to me
to minister to the pleasure of the many
thousands who have enjoyed and apprec-
iated t'ils peculiar place,de am doubly
thankful for having been the slmoner of
so many of nature's bountios.
It. is often asked met! I have no re-
grets in parting with our island home.
“Oh, no! I accept the inevitable cheer-
fully with tlianfulness and no regrets."
In iarly life It was with rare and ex-
quisite pleasure that I planted the trees
and shrubs and saw them grow and blos-
som like so many children; when I min-
istered to the flowers and they minister-
ed to others happiness and my own;
when I could drive and exercise half a
dozen trotters over the beautiful meadow
track before breakfast: when a score of
friends and relatives set down to my
bouutaous hoard,—lur uli them abundant
blemings and privileges I am profoundly
grateful and thankful.
Still I have no regrets, and rellnquieh
the island with the same thsiikfulness.
Like all the experiences of human life,
“change is written upon all." All our
friends, with two or three solitary excep-
tions, have passed to the spirit side of
life, and we are alone. Besides. the cares
of a great estate like the island, had be-
come a weary burden to usin our declin-
ing years, and its relinquishment will
give us rest.
I am often asked to what ,uses is the
island to be put. I hardly know, having
never enquired, but my impression is
that it is intended as a resting place for
the. Catholic clergy during recess from
their ministerial duties, and if so, it is
happily chosen, and I can say in the
poetic language of an Indian chief spirit
who often conimuued wrth us at our
island home:
"blessed is your minion, beautiful Isle,
With your meadows of green,
And your sky so serene,
May the Great Spirit's smile
Rest on thee. 0 Isle.“

Notes and Comment on Topics
of Interest to Norvslk.
As you have asked it and I have agreed
to do it, I will to the best of my ability
and with the least possible bias, and with
the view of the public good, occasionally
say something about local affairs under
this head.
”News and Views" is a title under
which an observer, a thinker and a
philosopher ought to be able to add to
the interest of Tris BENTINIL'S columns,
make some suggestions of public benefit;
criticise what ought to be criticized;
commend what is commendable, and
condemn what is oondemuabln.
I wish I was fully satisfied about my
being posaissed of these qualities. I am
quite sure 1 am not. but you say I can
do better than I think, and have per-
suaded me to make the sttdmpt. If it
proves a failure and mistake, the mistake
will be yours, and the failure a lack of
ability and not a lack of honest short on
my part.
Last Sunday, I suppose my
thoughts ought to have been on things
above, and they were to an unusual de-
gree until what I am about to relate oc-
curred. The day was everything that
could be desired or expected in the early
part of May. The atmosphere was the
tlrst real token yet given of the coming
summer. Nature was putting on her
season's garb; birds were wsrbling and
carroling; ladies were out in the prettiest
costumes, and I was admiring the whole
scene with the proper emotions,wheu I
went onto the sidewalk on the south side
of Trinity church. In an instant by res-
sou of my having stepped on the jagged
stories which make this thoroughfare a
path of torture, all the cusseduess in my
nature was aroused, and I inandihly but
most emphatically damned that walk,
that church and the authorities which
tolerated such it condition of things. I
thought: That walk has been a nuisance
for a long time; yea, worse than a
nuisance—a public outrage; Trinity
church is trying to save souls, and yet
leaves month after month a sidewalk ad-
joining its premises that causes more sin
than Trinity and all the other churches
in town can counteract.
church were where it has been consigned
more than a hundred times by reason
of that walk. Old Speartnil would be
holding forth from its pulpit, the organ
boy would be pumping thunder from its
organ, and little devils and fallen saints
would be yelling and wailing their
agonies within its walls. (provided the
stone and material of which it is built
could withstand the temperature which
used to be thought pervaded Satan’s
realms.)
I suppose the preacher will say such
thoughts ought not to be thought by a
philosopher. But human nature is hu-
man nature, and as I once heard a
man say, when it becomes any diviner it
is darned poor stutI.
Now what would I suggest? A very
simple thing—put down a good walk.
But it will be washed away again. Well.
suppose it is; won’t it be better for all
concerned, and won't the ichurch do
more good, and won't the city have a
better reputation, and won’t there be
less sin. and won‘t these more than com-
pensate for the cost, whatever it may
be ?
Suppose that walk was in front of
some poor man's premises how long do
you suppose it would be tolerated? I
am quite sure but a very short time, and
our city authorities would very soon con-
vince the owner of the premises that he
could not defy their authority, and snap
his fingers at their orders.
Further, and finally, as the preacher
would say, it would he a most excellent
example for the church to obey the law.

why don't you go that way sometimes

Vassar Narrated by Newspaper Jokasf l
Nelly lily III New York World.
"I think the newspapers have done
Vassar a good deal of harm," Dr. Taylor,
president of the college, continued. “I
do not think they meant it maliciously,
or even thought that their little jokes
would do us any harm, but it undoubted-
ly has injured us."
“In what way." I asked.
“I can recall three instances at the pre‘
sent moment where I know personally of
people objecting tosendlng their daught-
ers here because of the many jokes made
about Vassar girls. A wealthy man said
to me that be intended to send his
daughter to another college because the
newspapers had made him hste the very
name of ‘Vamsr girl‘ and he was deter-
mined that his daughter should not bear
that much-abused title. Two women
whom I know would hsvo liked to send
their daughters here said that thh jokes
about the Vassar girl decided them to
patronize a college whose students did
not have to bear the brunt of every funny
man's funninees. l have often
thought that I would go to see the New
York editors and ask them personally
not to publish items which are injurious
to us."
“I do not think the editors would pub-
lish anything that would hurt the college
if they knew it,"I replied loyally.
“I believe it," he answered heartily,
and for that reason 1 have thought to
explain the situation to them. I know
they think the jokes are harmless. A
friend of mine, who publishes a newspa-
per in I‘oughkeepsie,used to make funny
remarks about the Vassar girl and I ask-
ed bim not to do it because it was detri-
mental to the college. 'Why, everybody
understands they are just jokes,’ he said,
and he was surprised that they could in-
jure us."
