BENTON EXPECTED VICTORY,

Breath Away.
Herbert E Benton, chairman of the
. Republican State Central committee, said
yesterday: “We were confident of sur—
ceu from the beginning, but, of course,
' did not have an idea of the overwhelming
nature of the victory. We felt certain of
the election of our state ticket and so
counted upon sending four congressmen
from this state. We counted on at least
eighteen senators, but did not hope for
twenty-three. The election of the four
congressmen was a piece of common
”moon the part of the people of the
state and they will reap a good reward.
The majorities, however, takes one's
breath away,”
What Congressman Hill Boys.
Congressman-elect Ebenezer J. Hill. of
Norwalk, was interviewed, yesterday, on
the subject of his election. He said the
landslide in favor of the Republicans
was due to the total failure of the A. P.
A. movement and the protest of the
working people against the action in
cougars against the tariff legislation.
He further stated the workingmen fear-
ed ouch legislation might increase suitor-
ing. He said the Democrats made a
,tnlotake in light on the issues they made,
L' and that the consequent failure resulted.
He said be counted on winning by 1,000
majority and was gratified and surprised
* at the result.

no less than six bones, two or three of
them having been disposed of on account
of glanders. its still has a horse turned
off in a secluded pasture, that has the
disease. He claims that the reason he
does not kill the horse is because he-
lougs to his wife, and she is opposed to
having him killed. He lost the milk
from his hard of cattle on the supposi
tlon that they were suffering from in-
borculoaio. Besides all this trouble he
has a very sore throat. and has had it
for sometime, which refuses to yield to
treatment. Although he has consulted
a number of eminent medical men in
Danhury and elsewhere. Finally one
physician has given it as his opinion that
thesqrethroat is of a glandcrcnachar-
horsea. Since that he has treated his
throat with‘this idea in viewaudlt is

INSANE 0I’ TIIE STATE.
Dlflsuls to Find Attendants for the Con-
vlct Wards at Mlddiotcwa.
There are at the present time about
one thousand six hundred patients in the
Middletown institution, which makes it
uncomfortably crowded, and no more
can be taken unless a change in the way
of transfercau be attested. it seems a
mistake that so many criminals from
Wsthersllsld are sent to Middletown
when there lunch a lack of room, and
there is no doubt thatsornaof the
cases adjudged insane, will bear a care-
ful investigation as to the nality of the
disease.
In many instances these Wethsrsfield
patients areextramely didlcult to man-
age and the managers of the institution
find ltnoeasy matter to secure smud-
suu for the convict wards. There are
very few deaths at the institution and so
thalist of inmates iossldom decreased in
tbatway. Ofceursa there are a good

turned totbairhomes.butfor every ps-

LAST NIBIIT’S CONCERT AT 'i'lIIl
BAPTIST CIIUICII.
A Programme of Pleasing Inoioal loat-
ureo tendered Before a Critical and
cultured Audience. Under the Direction
‘ of III-o line Ardsio Lewis.
Thooft-ropeatsd query. ‘beere Are
You Going My Pretty Maid?" was the
flrstofthe many sweet ones to which
the assemblage of music-lovers and critics
Hatched, last night. in the South Nor-
walk Baptist church, where a most do
lightful concert was given under the di-
rection of the accOmplished and efllcient
organist, Miss Nine Ardsle Lewis. It
was participated in by eminent artists
from New York and Norwalk.
This opening song proved an cxoeeding~
ly pleasing feature, as arranged by Caitli-
cott'and sung by Trinity quartotte. of
Southport, composed of these cultured
artists: Miss Lena Taylor. soprano; Mrs.
S. H. Huntington, alto; Edmund E.
Crows, tenor, and Frank D. Hotchkise,
base. It was awarded well merited ap~
planes. The appearance of Miss Lillian
Kompfi, the soprano singer of Plymoth
church, of Brooklyn, N. Y., was greeted
with warm applause. She sang Logo's
composition,“A Norwegian Song,” which
is a selection of peculiar arrangement,
and graciously responded to an encore.
Miss M. Christian Dyer, a violinist who
is rivaled by few and excelled by a‘ very
small number, was heard in Oh. de Beri-
ot’e pleasing "Scene 'de Ballet,” and
played delightfully an encore. ,She is
the possessor of rare attainments and dis
played musical feeling and ease. Under
the spell of her touch the violin
emitted delicate tone quality.
Mi 1 Dyer's charming personality
and skill made here favorite with the
audience at once. When she appeared
in the second portion of the programme
and so artistically rendered a violin ob-
ligate, “Allegretto from Eleventh Sym—
phony,“ by Haydon, With a beautifully
rendered organ solo by Miss Lewis, that
artist whose very touch lends life to the
instrument, it was the signal for pro-
longed and warm applause. The basso,
William F. Hooley, of New York, is
most assuredly a soloist of charming
ability, and Elliott's "Hyhrias the Cre.
tan” was fully appreciated by the listen-
ers, who did not hesitate in demonstrat-
ing that fact. Fred Hicks, who is a
member of the Dudley Buck choir,
Brooklyn, sang in an extremely sweet
tenor voice, Shelly's “Love's Sorrow."
Heso highly delighted those in attend-
ance that they insisted upon his re
appearance, when be fully sustained
the favor won in his first ”solo.
Strelezkt’e “Happy Days" was the con-
tralio solo which Mrs. S. 8. Huntington
rendered, with piano accompaniment by
Miss Lewis and violin by Miss Dyer, and
delighted her many friends present
Longfellow‘s poem, as harmoniously set
by Anderion, was sung by the trio, Miss
Kompfl', Mrs. Huntington and Mr.
Crows. They kindly responded to the
sincere encore accorded them. Two art-
ists, Miss Taylor and Leonard Whimsy,
who always delight, appeared in the
dust “I Live and Love Titre," and were
liberally applauded. Miss Dyer me
again heard in the violin solo, Raff's
"Carotina," and evinced her appreciation
of the applause by playing a very pretty
selection. Miss Kompff sang Harris' ”A
Madrigal," and Mr. Ilicks‘ rendering of
"Ora Pro Noble" was very sweet. indeed.
That powerful base solo, "Armourer's
Song," by DoKoven, was the shining item
on the programme. it lost none of ill!
wonderous beauty and grandeur as rcn~
dersd by Mr. llooley and won the raptur-
ous applause it merited. .
The artists‘ intelligence and versatility
were admirably displayed, and the music
was refined. classical and attractively
popular. Miss Lewis and Mrs. Hunting-
ton acted as able accompanists. An
evening of enjoyment was spent by all,
The pulpit was prettily decorated with
potted paims,and a black and gold actor-n
made a harmonious background.
