‘ of the Town, Give a Unique Entertain-
mes-a leyt's Opera louse Before a
has and Delighted Audience.

‘ Thcrecouldbe no better evidence of

0» place the Norwalk Hospital has in
the hearts and minds of our townspeople

, ‘ than tree shown by the immense gather

ing at Hoyt’a Theatre. last night, to at-
,W the benefit for that institution,
shabby the various Sunday schools of
Norwalk. Every desirable seat in the
theatre was taken, and tlie affair was
such a marked success, that the receipts,
together with those of the matinee per-
formance this afternoon, will be very
gratifying, and add considerably to the
treasury of the Hospital association.

The curtain rose promptly at 8 o’clock.
revealing a scene of camp life, the tent,
colors, and all the essentials being most
tastefully placed. The Boys’ Brigade of
the Norwalk Baptist phurch were the
campers, and entertained the audience
by going through a difficult drill, under
the direction of Sergeant Buttery, and
she .did...._some excellent marching.
Fred Bryant gave a humorous recitation.
being obliged to respond to an encore,
anda pleasing dust was sung by Ed.
Brotherton, seprano; and Fred Grum-
man, alto. and several choruses were
rendered.

The Congregational church, of South
Norwalk, gave the "Brownies in Fairy-
land," made famous by Cox, and the im-
presslon they made on the audience was
exceedingly favorable. The brownies,
with their odd costumes and makeup and
the charming costumes of the Tflil’ifl.
made a very beautiful scene. Willie Rus-
sell was "Uncle Sam," and Louie War-
dell the Indian chieftain, and their
speeches were rewarded by handsome
bouquets. Miss Ruth Kendall was the
queen of the fairies. .

“The Ten Little Niggers,” as produced
by the scholarsof, Grace Church Sunday
school, was very amusing and cleverly
done. The make-up of the boys, who

. appeared in black face, together with

their costumes, were decidedly good.

A very pretty scene was that of the
"Flowers and Bees," by St. Paul's Sun-
day school. Various flowers were im-
personated by several little girls, cos-
tumed in pretty tar-latch dresses,each
representative of afiower. While they
were happily singing, the bees, portrayed
by an equal number of boys, whose cos-
tumcs of black velvet, and gold bore
great resemblance to the busy bee, made
their appearance and sipped the honey
from the flowers. Little May Olson was
the queen bee, and the dance executed
about her was extremely pretty and tak-
ing. An appropriate recitation was
given by Arthur Jackson.

The Norwalk Congregational church
contributed. as their part of the pro-
gramme, several portions of the “Mother
Goose” stories. The costumes were not
only very handsome and correct, but the
posing and acting received deserved up.
planes. The description of 'each group
was in song, by Miss Jennie K. Nash.

The African Methodist Episcopal Sun-
day school sang “The Old Oakeu Buc-
ket," a selection which greatly pleased
the audience and the singers were
heartily applauded for their efforts.

The First Methodist Episcopal
church gave an original medley.
composed by B. M. Andrews, entitled
“Little Matrons." As the curtain want
up a number of little girls were revealed,
each singinga lullaby to a baby nearly
as large as herself, while in the center of
the semicircle was a cradle, which rock-
ed over, upsetting the infant and causing
general consternation. it was then that
the efficiency and usefulness of the
hospital was demonstrated. A telephone
call was sent to Dr. Harry Damon. by
the nurse. Miss Agnes Golden, and he
responded promptly, while another call
brought the ambulance in equally as
quick time. Miss Grace Hamilton made
a most solicitious mamma, while Dr.
Damon quarantined the house, and final-
ly decided that the patient had better
go to the hospital. A stretcher was
brought in and the infant was tenderly
carried to the ambulance.

The scholars of St. Mary’s Sunday
school gave “The Prize Baby Show,” in
a way that called for much praise from
the spectators. The singing, acting and
marching of the twenty-five little ones
could not have been surpassed. Little
Charlie Kelly acted as judge, and doubt-
less thinking that there could beno hand~
somer baby than that of his little sister,
Flore,'as he had no children of his own
in the show, be awarded the prize to her
child, to the great disappointment of the
others, and especially the owner of the
twins. The closing chorus was very
wallsung. .

the East Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church was delightful, and the audience
showed their appreciation of the music
at the conclusion of the solemn.

The Topsey Turvey of Trinity Sunday
school was exceedingly amusing, and all
who participated acquitted themselves
most creditably,

The entertainment was given by the
lady board of visitors of the hospital,
Mrs. E. J. Hill, president. B. M. An-
drsws was appointed stage mania". and
performed his duties in the most efficient
manner,- and very wisely announced at
the beginning that enoorcs could not be
reopened to. But for this decision the
entertainment would have been of
double duration.

Much time and care must have been
necessary to prepare each feature, and
those in charge of them certainly! did
their work well. As a whole it was un-
questionably an entertainment of a very
superior character.

 

ROWAYTON MERBYMAKEBS.

They Hold their closing Reception of the
Season in Gulder’s llaii.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
closing reception of the Merrymakers, of
Rowayton, had a severe thunder shower
to contend with, a large number of their
friends assembled in Guider’s Hall, last
night, and passed a very pleasant even-
ing. Music for dancing was furnished
by Calvin Purdy, piano, and Charles A.
Freeman, violin, of South Norwalk, and
at intermission the members served
dainty refreshments to the guests.
Among-those present were Ma'and

MINSTIIELS IN “All" LUCK.

 

Obllged to have Their Baggage Here as
Security For Their Debts.

Cushman’s Minstrel company did not
play in good luck in Norwalk, although
a performance was given in each end of
the town. When they started to leave
last night, Landlord Hall, of the City
Hotel, presented a claim for $75 for two
days’ board for the bigger part of the
troupe, and two officers were called in to
settle matters: Landlord Walz, of the
Mahackemo. wanted to see them to the
extent of $5, and Expressman Wallace
Crofut’s bill for carting the baggage was
87. These amounts with costs brought
the debt of the company up to about
$100. They left a portion of their bag-
gage as security for the amount, and
went to the depot. Here one of the
members offered his gold watch as secur-
ity to Ticket Agent Osborn for tickets
for the company to Bridgeport, where
they play tonight. Mr. Osborn, however,
ignored the offer, and the man succeeded
in getting a loan elsewhere. The min-
strels had a very small audience in the
Norwalk opera house last night, and ap-
peared to be badly dcmoralized.

 

May Lose One of Our Industries.

There is a probability of South Norwalk
losing one of her industries, all owing, it
is said, to a lack of patronage. The ofil-
cials of the Richardson & Morgan Heater
and Range Manufacturing company, F.
Ayres, and J. J. Richardson, were in
town one day this week and informed
Superintendent Vlckers that to maintain
this plant it would be nocessasy for them
to receive some patronage from South
Norwalk or they would be compelled to
remove to some other town where they
could be of some use to those desiring
employment. The roof of the foundry
will be torn off and a new one put on by
C. F. Tolles. This work will commence
on Monday. The company will definite-
ly decide in a few days as, it is supposed,
they are conflicting several offers from
other towns.

TIBED LIST OF Till! C. N. G.

 

Highly Compliment-d in a Letter From
Colonel mm on his song can Faithful
Service ase Military Iaa~lfeariy Thirty
Years in the Service. ‘

Captain A. A. Betta. the genial com-
mander of Company 1).. C. N. G, is
about to go on the retired list of
officers of the Connecticut National
Guard, his retirment taking adect,
Monday, May 21.

On May 12, Captain Betta made appli'
cation to Colonel Russell Frost to be
placed on the retired list and be relieved
from active service. The colonel
approved his application and forwarded
it last Saturday to headquarters. He
afterwards received notice to this effect
from the. colonel and a very compli-
mentary letter concerning his long
serviceaaa military man. The colonel
thought his retirement would be a
seriouslem to his company, as well as to
the Fourth Regiment and the Guard.
He paid a special compliment to his
excellent and honorable record as a
soldier and an officer.

Cdptain Bette has been in active service
since 1865, with the exception of about
five years. He went into military life
when twenty-five years of age. He was
born in Wilton and moved to Norwalk
twenty-seven years ago, or about two
years after he had joined the militia.
His military career is an excellent one,
whetherasaprivate or an officer, and
had it not been for a desire to shun regi-
mental honors, he might have been much
higher in rank than a captain. He loved
the service and commanded the respect
of his men. He was never so contented
as when drilling his company, and enter-
ed into his duties with an order and zeal
seldom found in an officer. For four
years Captain Bette ranked as senior cap-
tain of the regiment.

Huntiog's circus drew a good-sized
audience at their performance yesterday
on the Burritt avenue grounds. The per.

and considering the low price of admis-

The show has a number of well~trained
horses and quite a menagerie. The act-

comedians, and burlesque pugilists, was
heartily enjoyed by all who waited for

Therm has lads its Appearance a w-

. “e In!!!” than Usual. ‘

W. S. Ballard, of 801 Iafeystt street,
Bridgeport, writssas‘follows to the edi-
tor of the Bridgeport Standard:

.“Tbc elm tree beetle (gelsrnos nan-
thomeloena) has made its appearance
again this spring only a little earlier
than last year, but in ten times larger
numbers. This is the fourth year they.
have visited us, each time in increased
numbers. They have not begun laying
their eggs yet, but thstls only a‘ mat-
tsr of a few days. “

“Our housekeepers, in house cleaning
during their visits to the garrete or up-
per stories, have seen them. Two
weeks ago they were noticed in large
numbers on the inside of the windows
on the south and west sides of dwelllnge,
trying to get out, having wakened from
their long winter’s sleep, under the
shingles or where they could get in last "
fall in attics or laid away furniture. etc.

"From several letters received by the
writer from Professor C.» V. Reiley, en-
tomologist of the agricultural depart-
ment, Washington, D. C., I should judge
there is only one way to save efew‘
at least, of our magnificent elm trees,
the pride of this section of New England,
and that is to wet as much
as possible of the foliage and
the branches, letting it run down
the trunks, with some solution of Paris
green and whale oil soap. Any other
bad tasting material that can be added
to these, and prepared to make it as last-
ing as possible, i. e., so it will not wash
off, will make it still more efficacious.

“Where it can be done, the solution
should be forced up from the center or
trunk of the tree, standing with the hose
on the lower and larger branches,so that
the under side of the leaves may be
reached and wet, for that is where the
eggs are deposited by the beetle, in two or
three irregular rows on each side of the
leaf.

"They remain in this stats about one
week, where the worm is hatched out
and the mischief begins. The ‘ number
of eggs run from two to twenty on each
leaf, and the worm or larvae, from this
comparatively small number. will skele-
tonize sometimes as many as twenty or
thirty leaves before they have gotten
their growth, and begin to descend the
tree.seeking a place togo throughthe
next stage of their existence, that is,
the pups state. "

“The worms will mostly all leave tbi'
tree, seeking some near-by place in hol-
low stumps or logs, under chips or deed
leaves, or in the grass close to the foot of
the tree. This state or stage lasts about
eight or ten days, wheq the new beetle
is out,and he also feedson the elm
leaves that may be left for him by his
worm ancestor, but not to the extent of
the young and hungry worm or larvae
has done. In this latitude they gener-
ally run about two round courses or gen-
erations between May and September.

' “ At this time they have done all the
mischief they can, and; in many cases
have stripped the trees of two sets of
leaves, provided the tree has vitality ‘
enough to throw out a second set of leaves
after thepests have eaten up the first.
Then the beetle goes into hiding, or hib-
ernating, as it is called, for the winter,
seeking shelter in hollow trees, stumps, .
etc.,e~z Li midsummer, only that they
do not lu'Cv‘rinal'Ily stay near the trees, as
they ii, away and get into out-houses,
under shingles, etc., as we find them
now. The writer has found them in
thousands under shingles during this last
fall, winter and spring.

“They never remain on the trees
during the winter, so that nothing is
gained by scraping off the loose bark,and
I contend that in our climate many trees
are injured in March, when the bark has
been scraped off, by the sap starting too
soon. and none of the loose bark or over-
coat is there to protect them from a cold
spell, when the bark is often burst open
by the sap freezing. _

“i expect to hear from Professor 0. V.
Reiley, of Washington, D. 0.. again very
soon, regarding any new points that may
have been teamed, which I will gladly
give to the owners and admirers of our
famous and glorious elm tress.”
