A notice that was not unanticipated
”Muttotheiaeurance agents of
M Norwalk and Norwalk by the
England Insurance Exchange. It
hen effect that unless the practice
(UH!!! has been in vogue throughout the
summer in the City of Norwalk of shot-
” the public water off between the
lease of 10 p. m. and 5 a. or. every
Ikht is discontinued, insurance rates
fill be increased. The great risk taken
h ”method of economizing, and the
”I there would be in case of fire,
jinn fully set forth in THE Summer. a
few days ago.
Since the receipt of the notice referred
to, the commissioners of Norwalk have
”finned shutting off the water at
night, which has been the means of
diminishing the supply and reducing the
f Milo suchan extent that people
firing on high ground complain that
1 they are almost deprived of water. The
commissioners have now taken steps to
- Meninst all such complaints, and
, fie pomibility of having insurance rates
on Ipfown property increased, by enter-
_ h: into an agreement with the commis-
~ innate of South Norwalk to supply Nor-
‘ m with water.
, _ A joint meeting was to have been held
i; “Saturday night in South Norwalk.
The Nor-walk commissioners were
peevented from being present, but they
’ ‘ not last night and came to a satisfactory
' uderstanding. Norwallr will be sup-
flied with' water through the sixrinch
Iain Which connects with the South
Harwell: pipes near the Connecticut turn-
pike. From this source Norwalk's wants
will be plentifully suppplied.
‘ One of the South Norwalk commis-
sioners said yesterday that, notwith-
standing the gaeat waste of water that
haebeengoing on throughout the city
during the summer, the reservoirs are as
full as ever before at this season of the
year. Wilton Lake was full within three
feet of the overflow when the commis-
_ sinners visited that pretty sheet of water
‘ hetweek, and theold storage reservoir
was drawn down only to the first pipes.
He said there was no doubt that South
Norwalk had enough and to spare if
* economically used, and the possibility of
plunging the city into a water famine
was very remote.

The water was turned into the Nor-
vaik pipes at noon today, and the ar‘
mgement will continue until the fall
nine fill up Norwalk‘s reservoirs.

This afternoon Water Commissioners
Mead and Treadwell will inspect Nor-
walks storage reservoirs and also make
mangements for the transfer of the
water rights they were authorized to
purchase at the recent city meeting.
Nothing has yet been done, but it is
thought by the commissioners that by
Septemberl they will have their plans
of procedure ready to adopt.

Winnipauk people, who claim to have

marked Brad Keith, last evening. “he

PEACHES AND CREAM.

1. reetival with Music and Deal-matinee.
by the children of St. Peter's Church.
An interesting event in the annals of

St. Peter’s German Evangelical church
was the musical, declamatory entertain-
ment and festival in Arion Hall, last
night. There was a good-sized ands
thoroughly appreciative audience in at-
tendance. and many of the numbers on
the programme received enthusiastic
applause.

Professor Richard Vogler was heard in

an instrumental selection, followed by an

exercise by the children of the Sunday
school. which was a pleasing evidence of
the careful training of their instructor,

the pastor, Rev. 0. Apitz. There was a

vocal trio by Misses Gerhardiue Wald-

hausen, Frida Spilze and Ida J unkes and

a recitation was given by Miss Hattie

Wennrich. The Arion Singing Society,

under the capable direction of Professor

Richard Vogler,rendsred three selections.

The voices of the chorus blended most

harmoniously, and thelwork throughout

was excellent. Benedict‘s “Sad Sea

Waves” was sung with good effect by

Misses Annie Groescbner, Pauline Smith

and Tillie Butterfass. An interesting

dialogue was given by Willie Gebrmanu
and Max Malmo. Richard Noack, a re.
cent acguisition to South Norwalk, and
the possessor of a rich baritone voice,
sang“Tbe Trumpeter,” by Speier. Mr.

Noack rendered a violin‘ solo, Bach’s

“SpringtAwakening,” which demon-

strated a performer of more than ordi-

nary merit. The selections given were
of high class music, particularly the en-
core piece, Schubert’s “Serenade." Miss

Christine Spitze was unable to be pres-

ent, and the part she was to have bad in

a vocal duett with her sister, Frida, was

taken by Miss Ida Junkes. Page's

“Baby’s Gone to Sleep,” was sung by

Misses Lena Groeschner and Carrie Hill,

and Miss Ida Junkes gave a recitation.

The excellent programme concluded with

a tenor solo by Christian Logan, inwhich

his clear, ringing tones were heard to

good advantage. The accompainists were

Rev. 0. Apitz, Professor Yogler and Miss

Mary Bradley.

During intermission the ladies of the
church served delicious peaches, cream
and cake, and dancing followed the pro-
gramme, this pastime being enjoyed
until after 12 o’clock. The committee
having the affair in charge consisted of
Rev. 0. Apitz. Albin Malmo, George
Geist, Gustav Fredricb, Henry Zen-gee,
Adam Schmidt, Fred Syring, Mrs. A.
Malmo, Mrs. William Ghermann, Mrs.
Charles Ghermann, Mrs. Henry Hoff-
man and Mrs. lleitborn.

Within the past few days a typewrit-
fen letter hes'been sent to the various
temperance societies and to the Y. P. S.
C. E.’ of the several churches of the town,
asking them to co-operate in inaugurat-
ing a vigorous war against the liquor
traffic in Norwalk. For that purpose
each society is urged to send three dele-
gates to a meeting at the Knights of
Pythias Hall, 83 Washington street, next
Tuesday night. The letter reads as fol-
lows:

Dara Furnace: The Norwalk Union
of Christian Endeavor is- about to inau-
gurate a no-license campaign in the town
of Norwalk. In order to make this cam-
paign successful, in order to increase the
vote against the saloon, in order to edu-
cate the people by good anti-saloon liter-
ature, and in order that, every saloon
may * be driven out of Nor-
wallr, if not now, at least in a few years,
it is essentially necessary that all tem-
perance societies and Christian organiza~
tions of the town of Norwalk unite in an
energetic hand-to—hand fight with the
common enemy.

In accordance. with the above the Nor-

that your organization send three dele-

The Sentinel: “The lovers of the grand

viewa not surpassed in the world, and
panoramic surprises without number,
and for the love of legendary lore the
whole region round about is also exceed-
ingly interesting for its early history."
We arrived at the island Wednesday
afternoon, by steamer Wewama from
Popbam, having on board a large excur-
sion from the islands our week at I’op-
ham beach, or Fort Popham, named
from the grim but incomplete fortifica-
tion at this place and commanding the
entrance to the Konnebec river. l’opham
has a monopoly lll Maine in the sole pos-
session of a most beautiful beach four
miles in extent at low tide, as smooth
and as hard as a floor. The cottagers
and wheellncn who habitually summer
here enjoy their spins behind their trot-

this beautiful sand boulevard.

The law will be off partridge—ruffed

be here, and as the birds are reported to
be numerous upon the mainland, we
hope to be "in the midst of the fray" ore
long and to bag our allure of the brown
beauties.

A Bar Harbor yachting party have
just returned to the island. The run
from here to lbe llarbor, seventy-five
miles, was made in eleven and one-half
hours. For yachting, fishing or a gen-
uine good time this shore offers induce-
ments second to no place that we have

berb, the climate truly delightful, and
the peeple one meets most congenial.
Wehopc to remain here a week or two

In closing it may interest South Nor-
walkers to be informed that during the
hottest of hot weather the mercury here
has not climbed higher than .78 ° .

For Youngsters of the Future]!
rm- Idea some"
Among the reforms which the coming
woman will probably insist upon when
she has secured her full legal and politn
ical rights will be a modification in the
present .. custom which requires her to
adopt the name of the man whom she
marries. Ladies of advanced ideas have
long maintained that this custom was a
relic of barbarism as well as a badge of
servitude Its origin can be clearly

traced to the unciviiized ages of rapine,

when a wife was captured, not courted;
won after the fashion of Romulus, not
wooed after the manner of Romeo. 1n
barbarous times and among savage peo-
ple if amen wanted a wife howould go
out and hunt one, just as he would food
or some other thing essential to his c‘om-
fort, and after he had hugged her would
take her home and set her tocookiug
and making herself generally useful.
She was his property by right of cap-
ture, and he called her by his name to
prevent any mistakes in the matter of
title. Plesibly originally he may have
branded her with his mark to keep
thieves and unprovidcd bachelors from
helpingibcmselves to his stock. As time
went on, however, and women became
more abundant wives were much more
easily captured, their disposition to run
away from wife hunters apparently de-
creasing in precise proportion to the in-
crease in their number, and it became
unnecessary todo more than bring them
into the household camp and give them
the name of their owner.

The custom of forcing the wife to as-
sume her husband’snalne and regarding
her as a sort of matrimonial chattel
finally became so firmly established that
woman herself came to acquiesce in it as
a matter of course and even to take
pride in it. But there is clearly neither
logic our justice in it, and the coming
woman is likely to protest against it
as asurvival of barber-ism and as a mark
of inequality. if man nowadays, when
he feels in want of a wife, went out, as
he did in the early egos, and captured
one, there would be some reason in im-
posing his name upon her. But in point
of fact he does not do all thchunting
and capturing at the prtsent (lny.

POPULAR AMUSEMENTS.

 

Dram-lice! and Musical Events in Which

Norwalir People are Interested.

The theatrical season of 1894-95 was
inaugurated at the Norwalk Opera
House, last night, by the production, by
Rice’s Grand Opera House Stock com-
pany, of the impressive melo-drama
“Beacon Lights.” The attraction was
greeted by an audience which taxed
the capacity of the house. The company
was everything it had been represented
to be, and the selections by the orchestra
were a treat. The twelve membersare
talented soloists, and their renderings
were a feature of the performance. The
play deals with Western life, and
is full of melting episodes and
dramatic simulations. The story is
easily followed, and the clever
impersonations by those taking
put elicited round after round of ap-
plause. Special mention should be made
of J. K. Keane,as Phil. Gordon, the
hero of the piece; Miss Evans, as Carrie
Calhoun, a pearl of Western simplicity;
Miss Beverly, as Mary Heines. a woman
of grit. and Little Pansy, who imperao~
sated littleILTborllc Erica? liar singing
and dancing specialties brought down
the house. Miss Evan’s soils were also
much enjoyed. Gus Wallace, as Col.
Calhoun, an erratic southerner, was par-
ticularly good, and as a Villain of the
first,:water James P. Clark, as Bully
Dawson,§madean impression. The rest
of the company gave excellent support.
