m
Schauh. proprietor or thexlm'perlal cafe
in Railroad avenue, yesterday, and for
a time causing much anxiety on the
part of ,Mrs. Schaub.
Mr. Schaub bad business in New
York yesterday morning. He thought
he would take along his nineysar—old
son Philip. The boy had hardly been
in New York before and he thought
the sights to be seen there would do
him good. They went early so as
to have all the forenoon in the great
Metropolis, as Mr. Schaub intended t
return oaths 12 o’clock train. '
He tricd'to carry out his intentions,
but utterly failed. as the story which
follows.;.will" show.
When it was time to start fer home
he took an electric car in Third ave-
nue for the Grand Central station.
Just before Forty-second street was
reached, Mr. Cohaubls’liblorhhat mew . .9
off. He motioned to the conductor to
stop the car and told him to let the
boy off at the Grand Central. Mr.
Schaub hurried back after hie‘hat.‘und
the car went on.
Philip was havin a good time look-
ing at the sights song the way, and
did not miss his father much. The
conductor paid no attention to what he
was requested to do. and before Philip
knew it. he was up to l25th street.
He then missed his father. Getting off
the. car, he started back to the Grand
Central. livery policeman he met. he
inquired if he had seen his father. He
described :him as best he could. stat-
ing that'zhe kept a cafe. and was very
lfat around the middle.
The boy was lost in a great city.
and still he did not lose heart. His
main anxiety*seemedvtorbcranout his
father. 'He did hot: think of himself.
ADOUt hillbilly thoughts were of his
father. whom he knew would be much
worried. He walked from‘125th street
back to the Grand Central as he had
no‘monuy'torpdy"nis"fare"cil'h car. He
was very tiredz‘as n is a long distance.
When hfi'fld‘i‘lmd at the great station
and locker into the faces of so’many
strangevpeoplc, he then became fright-
ened. and realities; he was alone and
without money. began to cry. The
sobs of the urchin. attracted the atten-
tion of a young man about tWenty-dve
years of age, who conducted the news
stand at the Grand Central.
Going up to the little fellow. this
stranger asked him what he was cry-
ing about. Philip told him between
maps, that he had lost his father.
"Never mind. my little man, i will go
and buy you some candy." Philip‘s
face brightened in a minute. if there
is anything he dotcs upon. it is candy.
True to his word. the young man took
the boy and bought him butter scotch
and other kinds. The stronger was
then Philip's best friend. He was per-
fectly happy.

Mrs. Schaub wiazfiiiot at home, but
someone in the house told him to come
home. as the, boy would return all
right. .
Mr. Schaub was almost tired out
trumping the streets In the brolling
son. He concluded that for him to
hunt for hitboy was useless In such a
city, so he started for home. arriving
at 5:45 o'clock. Mrs. Schaub had not
returned home as yet. but. arrived
shortly after. The grief of the mother
can only be imagined when told that
her offspring was lost in the city of
New York. She suffered many lor-
tures of mind until she could stand it
no longer. and then induced her hue-
band to again go to New York on the
8:" train.
Mr. Schanb with an almost breaking
heart. started for the metropolis again.
While he was being bowled along tow-
ards the great city. Philip was on his
way home in company with the some
strangerwho had so kindly purchased
candy. They arrived at 9:15 o'clock.
but at thctime of this writing Mr.
dchoub was"stlli In New York.
The boy said ho had a good time
with his new friend coming up on the
train: that he allowed him and ex-
plained everything along the way in
a very interesting munner. As soon
as he arrived at the house. he went to
his little bank and extracted ".28 from
it and gave It to the stranger. The
latter did not‘want to take the money.
but Philip forced him to accept it. At
9 o’clock this morning Mrs. Schaub
was seriously thinking of sending
someone after her husband.

The exercises opened with an invo

bert. followed by the piano duet. Sym-
phony in C. moll. 0p. 2. by Meridian-
sohn. expressively rendered by Charles
Wilder and W. Sterling Atwater, and
it was granted a generous applause.
The address. Our Duty to Cuba and
its Fulfillment. was given in a fine
style by A. R. Williams, who had his
subject well in hand. His talk con-
sumed twentywilve minutes and was
very interesting. Among the points he
brought out were:
“That when, In April. 1898, Congress
declared war. Cuba was glad. Spain
was in despair and Europe was in
amaze. The result of the war was that
we had before us one of the greatest
problems that had ever confronted us.
No sooner had the conflict colsed than
a difference of column arose as to what
we should do with our concessions.
Whether Cuba or the Philippines is
the more important is yet to be decid-
cd. Cuba is soon to take its place
among the nations of the world. with
its own constitution and rulers. The
two great questions arise as to what
the duty of the United States is to
Cuba and how that duty has been ful-
liIlcd. Our former policy has been a
kind of protectorate over Cuba since
the time of Monroe and it has been
very beneficial to the island. We base.
two obligations to Cuba. President
McKinley declared that our intention
was to form a stable government in
Cuba which could restore order and
secure peace and silica the destruction
of Spanish authority We must do this.
By the Teller resolution we disclaim
any intention to exercise authority ov-
cr Quba and can't assume any perma-
nen control. Congress intended that
our rights should be neither increased
nor lessened in Cuba. Since the evac-
uation of Cuba by the Spaniards it has
been under the control of military
power. but that power has always tried
to establish a civil government. Free
schools have been started. Havana has
been changed from a pest hole Into
one of the healthiest cities In the
world and the prosperity of the island
has been returning. Last September
a constitutional convention was called
and a constitition was framed. Our
greatest glory is our action on annexa-
tion. Cuba was just the island we
wanted to gain control of the Curri-
bean sea and we could easily have
left it in a state of anarchy and then
annexed It on a plea of necessity. We
are giving independence to Cuba. when
the situation save to warrant it. and
now the future 0 Cuba looks as bright
as its past has been dark. Cuba will
never be a great nation. but it will
ever be a prosperous island." His ad-
dress was greatly applauded.
The quartettc. The Chase ' (Adam
(licbel). arranged by F. C. Macy was
well rendered by Messrs. Howdld B.
Wilson, W. S. Atwater. W. W. Dana
and A. S. McLean. This was ”followed
by an address on The Past. Present
and Future of Electricity. by Howard
lienjnmin Wilson. A few extracts
from his address follow:
”Looking back over the past we are
surprised at the wonderful discoveries
along this line. A short time ago It
was not known what it was or from
whence it came. Franklin proved that
there was electricity in thunder
storms. Later (lalvanl made some
wonderful demonstrations along the
line of electricity. Then the cloctro
magnet was discovered; and remained
for Morse to Invent a code whereby
messages could be sent over the tele-
uraph wire. A few years ago Marconi
startled the world with his theory of
wireless telegraphy. At first we do not
appreciate the value of this. The great-
est value arises from its pecuniary sav-
Ing and then in war there would be
no wires to be cut by the enemy. The
telephone though a wonderful discov. th
cry, is not as great a one us‘the tele~
,raph. As a motive force electricity

now applied to lighting and to surgery
in the X-ray. At some time it wlll
probably be used for heating. lighting
and power in our homes, mills and fee»
tories.”
A generous applause was given Mr.
McLean.
The violin duets Petlt Duo Symphon-
lque. by Tours, was rendered by Ciao
once 13. Nowlan and A. S. McLean in
a pleasing manner, and the appearance
of John K. Williamson was greeted
with applause. His address was on

Grounds in Bouibport Harbor. Which
Have been Bone of Contention for
More than a Yeah—claimed
ac Private Property.
A matter which isiyof great interest
to the oyster marrow in the neighbor-
hood of Norwalk and Bridgeport and
to those of Southport particularly. was
the occasion of a long debate in the
House yesterday, and at as conclusion
the following resolution, confirming to
r'rederick ’1‘. Lyon and Ernest W.
'I‘allmadge title to. certain oyster
ground in Southport harbor. was pass.
ed:
"i‘hat the title to all oyster grounds
within the navigable store of the
town of Fairfleld, In lfl near South-
port harbor, he calls. which have
heretofore been designated by the duly
appointed and authorised oyster com-
mittee of (said town to‘ any person or
persons. for the purpos of planting or
cultivating oysters th eih, of which
oyster grounds Frederi k ‘1'. Lyon and
sunset W. Tuilmadse ‘re the record
owners. is hereby val sled and con-
curred in sec to set .jtrederlck “‘1’.
Lyon and Ernest W. 'Pal mouse."
The precaution and passage of this
resolution was the result of a long
light which was carried before the
State Shell Fish Commission. and by
that body referred to the General As-
sembly. It has attracted considerable
attention among all the oyster men
along the Sound. and the passage of
the resolution given above will be half-
ed by the majority as an act of Justice
to the two also concerned.
About a year ago Messrs. 'I‘allmadge
and Lynn were arrested for taking cys-
tcrs upon so-called natural beds. and
the case was tried out in the courts.
iho defense was that the beds were
not natural beds. but were the prop-
erty of the defendants. it was dis-
covered later that their title was not
perfect, and after a hearing before the
Shell Fish Commission. the whole mat-
ter was referred to the General As-
sembly.
When the matter came before the
committee of the General Assembly
under the above resolution. the state,
through Attorney General Phelps. op-
posod the confirmation of title. The
petitioners were represented by Al.-
torucy Allen W. Paige. of llrldgeport.
After a thorough hearing. the commit-
tec presented a favorable report and
it was upon that report that action
was taken yesterday.
Mr. Reed. of Stratford. speaking for
Attorney General Phelps. opposed the
[leakage of the resolution. ‘i'hc attor-
ncy general is very ill at his home in
ilockvilic with inflammatory rheuma-
tlsni. Mr. Reed said that as no un-
derstood the matter. the passage of the
resolution confirming this title would
be u steal from tho state, and be con-
tended that the petitioners had no
right to this property in Southpcrt
harbor.
Mr. Calkins. of Lyme, and Allen. of
(lroton. both members of the commit~
toe. defended the report.
tended that there had been a full and
fair hearing, and that the question
had been decided upon its merits.-
Mr. Banks. of lv‘airlleld. said he know
the location of the property. that these
men had worked the beds for many
years by common consent. and every-
body aupposcd they owned them. '1 boy
had cultivated them. and whatever
value they now possessed was the re-
sult o. the labors of Messrs Lynn and
Talmadgo. it would be a rank In-
iilstice if the title was not vested ln
em. .
Mr. Stags. of Stratford. denied the
Imputution that there was any steal.
He said these beds had never been
designated as natural beds. and
Messrs. Tailmadge and Lyon had
bought and paid for them. "You might
as well take a 'man’s form." he said.
"as take these oyster beds away from
these men."
Mr. head said a. great wrong might
be done the state by the passage of
this resolution. and he urged the mem-
bers to reject it.
Mr. Stags replied, saying that the
state would less nothing: that the
designation of, the beds Would continue
as taxable property, and the state
would receive the takes. and that file
