lrihule To The Program

If all the concerts given for the bell—
oiit of the striking miners are as slic-
cessful financially as the one given Ill
South Norwalk Saturday night, under
the allsplccs of Central Labor Union.
the miners must secure considerable
revenue. The receipts from the sale
of the tickets were the net proceeds.
and this amounted to about $100. Man—
ager i. M. Hoyt kindly donated the
use of his theatre, the printing and
music. in fact the entire entertainment
was free. the artists giving their ser-
vices for the benefit of the strikers.

About five hundred people braved
the driving rain to attend the concert.
and the body of Hoyt's Theatre was
comfortably filled. Tile audience was
composed largely of workingmen,
members of the various bodies affiliat-
ed with the Central Labor Union. They
were unusually enthusiastic and sym-
pathetic. Had the night been clear
the house would undoubtedly have
been filled to the limit.

The feature of the evening was the
appearance of tile striking miners" glee
club. eight men direct from the Penn-
sylvania mines. ranging from twenty
to fifty years of age. They sang toge-
ther and separately. and were applaud-
ed to the echo. The general opinion
of those who attended was that the
singing by these miners alone. was
more than worth the admission. When
they sang together they were unac-
companicd, commenced even without
a note from which to get the key. yet
always begun In perfect accord, and
continued In this manner to the close
of each selection. Their time was per-
fect and the phrasing excellent. The
' octettc sang with vigor and an carn-
cstness that could not fail to impress
their hearers. The melody and bar-
lnony brought out was remarkable and
seldom. if ever. have their equals as
traveling singers been in town.

The concert opened with it selection
“A Signal From Mars." well rendered
by an orchestra composed of Charles
llctts. pianist; Joseph William Jones.
first violin and leader: (lodfrcy Iltzln-
gcr, first violin. William Jesse. first

PILES SHOULD BE REMOVED.
A Dangerous Place Left In South Nor-
waik Harbor by Cutting Them Off.

Editor Sentinel: Some people are
laying in their winter‘s wood regard-
less of what danger or trouble they
may make for others. There were a
number of piles standing on the edge
of the channel, opposite the South
Norwnlk freight yards. One of the
employees of the railroad draw bridge
Iuld his eyes on the piles, and when
conl took wing and soared so high that
he could not reach It. be thought of
the piles. One day last. week the piles
were. cut down. with tile exception of
about three feet. which makes the spot
a very dangerous one for small boats
and launches. which rim up and down
the harbor at flight. The piles are cov-
ered at high tide. and a boat is liable
to strike them at any time. if a beat

them down he made to settle for the

injury? The piles ought to be pulled

up to make navigation safe.

Capitaln 1.. l3. Bllnn and wife, of To-

A. A. Graham.

luptnln Bilnn spent the past week ill
Wifshington. attending the national en-
campment. of the Grand Arnly of the
Republic, just closed.

Mrs, illinu is a sister of Mrs. (ira-
hnm. Captain lilinn was a member
of Company A in the One Hundredth
0. V. I.. and saw march and varied ser-
vice In the rebellion. in his soldier
life he passed through many eventful
trials and ulltold hardships and (exper-
iences. the contemplation of which
makes the blood tingle; the mem-
ory of It all reads like romances or
fairy stories.

In September. '63. he was captured
and lodged ill Libby. that monstrosity
of abhorrent man~corrnis at Richmond.
It was during his detention there that
the famous Colonel Stralght‘s “dugout"
was planned and executed—~now so
widely known and so vividly remem-
bored by many.

The deliveries were to be made in
instalments, nightly. III the scrrond of
which Captain llllnn was allotted. but
which was never realized because of
the discovery of the plot. Only about
100 escaped.

A transfer to Macon followed and a
corresponding escape was planned and
was again unsuccessful. the men being
recaptured by blood bounds and re-
turned to prison.

A third transfer was made to
Charleston. 8. (3.. a stockade less de-
testable and less rigid Ill Its guard and
discipline than others. Tile natural
and irrepressible instincts for freedom
revived. for that chafing was never at
case. and knew no rest or check even
under failure, and a break for freedom
was a third time. achieved, that prom»
ised success. Two comrades detail-
ed on honor to bring in wood. forgot
to come back again as pledged. and or
for an outing of Ibirtyiwo days of
watchful hiding and us many sleepless
weary nights of painful travel. a siege
of untold suffering and anxious hours
in mid-winter. often on the verge of
starvation and insanity. the two conr
pnulons reached the union litres in
safety. The north star was their only
guide. and no less fixed In its place in
the blue vault of heaven than wore.
their hearts set on the stars and
stripes. their ultimate hope of relief
from thruldom.

The, exposure thus incurred bred
disease and Its usual train of ailments,
which remain today and frequently
revive the memories that gave birth
to these eventful scenes.

Captain Bllnn Is a picturesque char-
acter and lives much In retrospect.

in reviewing those memories he re-
marked: “It all passes over me like
a horrid nightmare. or a hideous
dream. a memory at once vague and
real. romantic. and tangible. and fills
cvcry fiber of my body with rccoiloc-
tlons that stir the blood. it almost
passes belief that soul and body could
hold together so long at so high a ten-
sion. 1 wish it had not been so and
yet i would not have it otherwise. i
would not repeat It of choice, nor
evade It on lot."

it was an experience that tested the
stuff of the host American manhood.
a man's loyalty and pluck, his vitality
and endurance. his piety and patrio
tism. his fidelity and courage; and was
the explorlenco of many more worthy
and less fortunate."

He delights In recalling memories of
the stormy days and stirring scenes
of the rebellion, first tried the aortic of

dered Last Night.

Rev. James H. O'Donnell. rector ofr

St. Mary‘s Church. gave an excellent
discourse on the religious element In
education last evening. paying a line
tribute to the parochial school sys-
tem. The discourse was listened to by
a large nunlber and was thorough. Ill-
strllctlng and Interesting. Father

be the [sensible foundation for life.
The music of the choir was particu~
Iarly fine.

Millard, was rendered by Miss May
Ilrcnnan. with violin obligato by John
I. Powell. The tenor solo. “0 Salu~
lnrls." Burton. by John J. Powcll. was
well rendered. Mrs. Freeman presided
