AMUAL RALLY SOCIAL,
Sinai-r. Addresses and‘leelahllltv at
the Congregational Church.
The lecture room and parlors of the
South Norwalk Congregational Church
were prettily decorated last night with
vines and autumn flowers and well fill-
ed with members and friends who on-
joyed the annual rally social. A new
and very pleasant feature was the com-
bination of the weekly prayer meet-
ing with the social gathering.
After the singing of several familiar
hymns and prayer. addresses were lis-
tened to from Dr. Augustus F. Beard.
Mrs. Charles W. Shelton, and Frank A.
Ferris. The addresses dealt with the
opportunities of the church, Mrs. Shel-
ton speaking especially of woman's
work. They aroused intense interest,
presenting a unique mixture of the
grave and the gay. The music of the
evening was by Harry Pepper. who. was
heard with evident delight. both for his
magnificent voice and dramatic inter-
pretation. first in Daddy, and later in
Jenny, Molly Dawn and other songs.
Howard A. Tilly rendered The Lost
Chord on the comet in a very effective
ay.
The rest of the evening was spent in
informal sociability, the company no-
journlng to the parlors below. ’wnere
refreshments were served by a commit-
tee of indies. All those present agreed
when the evening was over that this
had been one of the most satisfactory
and pleasant social meetings ever
held.
Till WOMAN’S CLUB.
The i'emlsn and Government of Modern
Russia Discussed bv the leathers.
The Woman's Club held its first
meeting after the summer intermission
with Mrs. W. A. Curtis. the president
of the club. who welccgned the mcm~
bcrs with a few pleasing remarks.
The program for the afternoon was
arranged by the committee, Mrs. Mead,
Miss Raymond and Miss Pinneo, the
subject being The Domain and Govern-
ment of Modern Russia.
Mrs. P. W. Norris. of South Norwalk,
kindly represented Mrs. Mead by read-
ing a paper prepared by her on The in-
ternal Policy. Facts relating to the
industrial Growth of the nation from
an early date to the present era, were
presented by Miss Raymond. and the
third paper. on Schools and Universit-
lcs. written by Miss l’iunco. was read
by Mrs. Matteson.
A general discussion of these topics,
which was both instructive and inter-
esting. followed the reading of the
papers.
TYPOGRAPHICAL CONTESTS.
Richard M. Bodkin. of the Sentinel,
again Honorsblv Mentioned.
Printers throughout the country take
a great interest in The Inland Printer's
contest in typographical arrangement
and display. They are conducted by
0. F. Byxbce, of Paterson, N. J.. who
is known to many people of The Nor-
walks, having attended school here.
The awards in Contest No. 5, con-
sisting of specimens of a letterhead,
are made in the current number of the
Inland Printer. and we find that Rich-
ard M. Bouton, of The Sentinel office.
stands eleventh, and is honorably men-
tioned. There were 128 specimens sub-
mitted by 102 contestants. and out of
this number, it is said hardly a dozen
could be laid aside “as poor. In his
department of “Newspaper Gossip and
Comment." Mr. Byxbee notes the fact
that Mr. Bouton was accorded first
place in Contest No. 3.
JUIPED ON A IOVING TRAIN.

aboard a Danbury train at the east-
bound station last night, at 5:10. think~
ing it was a train for Bridgeport. He
missed his footing, and was dragged
across the Monroe street bridge. One
of the brakemen saw him and stopped
the train. He returned to the depot.
where be cleaned his clothing and fix-
ed himself up. He was painfully bruis-
ed about-the knees and hips, but no

He was able to go to Bridgeport lat-

Tncita, a pretty little fairy tale wov-
en into an operetta.whose singing parts
are overshadowed by its spectacular
features and the dances and drills with
which it abounds. received its initial
presentation at Hoyt's Theatre, last
night, under the auspices of Old Well
Hook and Ladder Company, before a
fair sized audience.
Many weeks have been devoted by
the originators, Messrs. Anderson and
Morris, to the preparation of the op-
cretta and the rehearsal of the partici-
pants. 'I‘he costu ea. stage settings.
and scenery are ul ew and appropri-
ate. and with the of fcolcluln and el-
ectric light effects many pleasing
stage pictures were produced.
Nearly one hundred and any young
people are required to produce the op;
crctta. Mrs. Lillian Sherwood-New-
klrk. in the leading role of Taclta
created a favorable impression. The
other soloists were Miss Edna Grum-
man, Miss Marguerite Williams. Miss
Gertrude Iiot'hklss, Miss Clara Van
Doren, I-‘rede ck J. Force. Robert A
Kline, Edward Seller-k, William Mc-
Pherson, Chester Fitch and George
Cavunagh. who sang well.
In the first act, scene one, the sprites
and fairies are at play. 'l‘acita appears
and invokes their aid in the selection
of a bride for the young prince Eugene.
There is also a gathering of the vll
luge children, whose festivities are in-
terrupted by the appearance of a hog
gar woman and children, whom they
repulse. but ii e reconciled by the in
terccssiori of Netai imporsonntcd by
Miss Williams. Later Nets and he.
companions go in search of flowers and
she becomes lost. Here Thalia. Mia:
Van Daren. appears and executes a vi
vuclous dance. which is favorably re
r-r-ivcd by the audience. The scen-
closes with a flower drill by thin:
girls.
Little Miss Hotchklss led the fairies'
dance.
in the second scene. Zerus. an evl
spirit, Mr. Kline, inches the aid oi
the infernal powers, and discovers Ne-
tn. Ilcr pleadings for assistance an
rewarded by the appearance of tilt
queen with two children. who dcsr-cuv
in a golden chariot. in thc third sccn:
is depicted Netn's welcome to the fairy
haunts. and shows the frollcs of thc
-sprites and fairies and Neta escorter‘
to her home in a golden chariot.
The first scene in act if shows thr
gypsles' camp by moonlight and the
rcvelry of the gypsy bands. On their
departure. Prince Eugene appears. bu
is overtaken at night in the forest. An
effective tableau ensues, Eugenr
is awakened from his dreWnnd stol-
en by Zerus and the gypsl . . The Dry-
nds. a company of sixteen men, then
appear, and institute a search for tlu
prince. Later the King of Mnrokcnc
Edward Selleck, and Queen. Miss Clara
Van Doren. seek aid of 'I‘uclta to dis—
cover the prince. and solos, duets and
tries between the are sling. Another
tableau shows th psics' captive. The
scene closes wit ursillt by the Dry-
ads. ‘
In scene III,i Goodman, (Wil-
li driven ashore by
a fearful storm rid rescues Nata. and
takes her home. Zeros ls baffled by
the Goddess of Faith.
Miss Baldwin impersonated Faith in
the tableau Rock of Ages. while an in-
visible chorus sang the hymn.
The King's place at Marokene is
shown in Act ill, scene i. In this the
statuary appears. They were Misse
Florence Baldwin, Elizabeth Olsen and
Elizabeth Austin. They gave a grace
ful dance. The dryads triumphantly
return. and the young prince is restor-
ed to his parents. The Sylph‘ Scarf
dance and drill of the Nalads follow.
and then the betrothal of Nets and En-
gene takes place. and the opera closes
with a grand ensemble and finale.
The dances by the village children
Sprites and fairies. gyplies. and the
scarf dance by twelve young ladies,
with Miss Eleanor G. Smith as leader.
were gracefully executed. The drill
by the Nalads and Dryads are also
worthy of coin ntion; likewise the
tableaux.
Smythe's orchestra furnished music.
and while at times there appeared to be
a misunderstanding of various parts, it
is expected that this will be overcome
at tonight's production. ‘

strument should not become public

000. The will also prowdes that the

About 5:30 o'clock yesterday after-
noon, Jack Murphy. son of James Mur-
phy, who occupies apartments on the
third floor of the Lauder block. iii

a gasolene stove. Some oil, which had

The flames followed the vapor to the
floor and caused a blaze. Chief of PO—
lice Volimer turned in an alarm from
Box 3, but before the arrival of the fire
companies the flames had been extin-
gillshcd. The fire 'ilirr but little dam-
age. '

was. A second alar was sent_ln.
bringing out many people. brit the
flames were by that time under con-

Taken in conjunction with the ear-
