When the Superior Court opened, yea-
; day morning, it was expected that
sensational clue of Mn. Alice Clark,
f Norwalk, against Commodore Francis

'As soon as the court opened, however,
ttcruey Ulmstead, counsel for Mrs.

, red strong objections to the contin-
j ance. They claimed that they had
no to the expense of summoning over
hirty witnesses and were prepared to
e on with the trial of the case.
Mr. Olmstead stated that he was un-
~ ble to try the case, and exhibited acer-
Tificate from his physician in which it

r. ()lmstead was in no condition to

"SAVED FDR SERVICE.”
" he Nomlll Endeavor Union Listens” an Ad~
' dress by Rev. Hervy Wood.
, The quarterly meeting of the Nor-
-'-~alk Christian Endeavor Union,
old last night in the Norwalk Congre-
I: tional church, was well attended and
cry interesting. The singing was led
lyafullchorus, organimrl by Mrs. F
1-. . Roscoe, of the entertaining society,
nd Charles A. Tucker was organist
Reward Tilly's cornet added mum to
he pleasure of the music and a delega-
ion from the society of the African
methodist Episcopal church, who or:-
npied front seats, helped wonderfully
' n the singing.
The meeting opened with the Endea-
orers' favorite, "Sunshine: in the Soul,"
nd after otherhymns, Rev. R. (l. Sher
00d, president of the Union, road the
. ripture lesson from 11. Peter ii. Dr
1 Ohio followed with an earnest prayer
: d the full choir sang, “t l, Golden Day
.. Long Desired." Mr. Sherwood then
poke of the convention which is to be
it] in Norwalk next fall and urged the
.. ieties to do all that lay in their pow-
.r to make it :lnucceea. The collection
as taken up by young ladies while
. he choir sang "Scatter the Sunshine."
t. r. Sherwood then introduced Rev.
Iervy Wood, the Parkhurst of Pater-
a, N. J., who spoke on “Saved for
Service,” dividing it into two topics»
"Missionary Extension“ and “flood
Citizenship." Mr. Wood is a native of
Yorkshire. England, but he put himself
right with his audience at the ntart by
landing America and American institu-
tions to the skies. Although he is the
pastor ofaBaptisl church he is not it
sectarian, strictly speaking, but says he
(believes in the church of the Lord Jesus
Christ whether it be represented by
Methodist, Baptist, Dutch Reformed or
any other sect.
After the singing of a hymn and pray'
er, the benediction was pronouced and
at the invitation of G. E. Thompson, of
"the entertaining satiety, the Endeavor-
ers adjourned to the chapel, where hot
coffee, sandwiches and cake were serve].
The banner for attendance was won
by the South Norwulk Congregational
moiety.

Charles Batten Loomll. author and
humorist,kept the Central club members
and their friends in a constant state of
merriment, yesterday afternoon. From
laugh to laugh he led the way, his own
countenance meanwhile as solemn se
the proverbial owl or the equally prover-
bial profeuioual humorist. Hie choicest
helmets were given without betray-
ing, by any change of facial expres-
sion, that their author at all
appreciated their delicious humor—
und delicious humor it was, in song and
story. Some of it the audience had cn-‘
joyed before from the printed page, but
under Mr. Loomia’s sympathetic inter-
pretation they relished it as though at
the first hearing. Several of tho articles,
however, were yet in manuscript, and
one, "The Dialect Store," a very pleas-
ing satire on the dialect school of writ-
ers, will appear “either sooner or later,"
as the author satirically remarked, enl-
phaeiziug the word, “later,” in the Con-
.tury.
Mr. Loomia Opened his readings with a
short poem followed by a pathetic sketch
ot the blizzard of ’88. He then read "A
Literary that," in which Merry Light-
hcad and George Flipp, a New York girl
and young man, discuss current litera-
ture, mixing up Stevenson and “Trilby”
and Ian Mnclnren and the “Duchess"
in a manner wholly delightful, llutl pro-
bably, highly edifying to themselves.
Next came “The Unrehearsod Duet”
and a charming little story based on
that ever-recurring theme, the tribula
tions incident to the servant question.
This was followed by some dolcful
verses appropriate to St. Patrick‘s Day,
entitled, ”Michael Will Not be in the
Parade," In the closing lines it appear-
el that the reason why Michael was
not in the parade was that he was not
Irish, but Russian.
"The Man Without a Watch” was a
clever little comedy, over which lb.-
andience laughs-1 heartily, and the orig-
inal mm which followed. in which
Mr. Loomia personated tho colon-d
preacher, taking for his principal text.
“All Meuam l.i1ra":lu'1for the moon
dary consideration the theme», "Reputa-
tioue amOften Co Without Ditdfll'l'lflg
of 'em," fairly brousht down the boner.
The last number, Tennyson‘s “Lolly
Clare," which. the speaker said, was
then given for the first time in this
country, was supremely ridiculous and
wasrccitcd in the Irish dialect, which
the humorist renders very naturally.

would save money for the taxpayers.
The city of South Harwell: and the
district are practically the same thing,

false! The district runs nearly a mile
north of the city line, nearly the same
northwest on Connecticut avenue, and
nearly twu miles south of the present
buildings, while the district is growing
in population to the northwest, for land
in the southern part of the district is
either not for sale or is held by specu-
lators. On South Main street there is
no land for sale; on Woodward avenue
there is not u building lot for sale,

They say $5,001) for the city lot, which
means, after they have obtained Colonel
Cunningham's property, at least ftlwlotl,
which "loans lilWKule, for he is not
willing to sell, and tin-n, no doubt, you

who will not be giving his service for
nothing. At the corner of Concord and
South Main streets the owners of that

Now, for l'nirfield avenue, alt the
Corner of Cedar street. That is an out-
of‘the-wny place, that will neither suit
the South Norwulk people, nor the
people in the vicinity of ”w samlbnnk.
which is practically the intern-Minn of
seven streets. Besides, tho property.
owners of lt‘uirfleld avenue do not want
aschmlthvre. It should not be nearer
the present buildings than six blocks.
Let three blocks go to Franklin etmlt
and the other three to Taylor avenue,
which would satisfy everyone inter-
ested. The South .Mnlll lot, at ”W
norm-rut" Concord, would cost of least
812,004): P'nirfil-lll avenue, comer of

not less than 13,000. Remember all of

Hartford, Fob. 17~Monday in Con-
necticut's legislature, so far as the Bousc
and Senate proceedings were concerned,
was pro-eminently uroutino day, but one
thing was clearly established in the
House, namely, the folly of adjournment
on Friday to an hour on Monday so late
as 12:30 pm.
When adjournment was taken last
Friday the hour named for re-ueecnlbling
was 12:30. on the supposition that there
would not be enough to hold the session
wry long. The Senate, of course, has
to wait for business from the Home, but
instead of a dearth of business, yester-
day, the lower brunch found it piled
fairly high and it- required considerable
timi- to desmltch it, and, as a result, the
