Miss Frances Agatha Fallon presiding. Miss Fallon spoke of the pleasure the girls had had ill their King's Daughter work. The secretary. Miss Mary Sta- ples and Miss Ada Osborn. the treasur- er. gave their reports. The president spoke of the necessity for completing the balance of the college education fund by the musical and dramatic ell- tertuinment to be given Monday even- lng. At the close of the business meeting Mrs. Mead introduced Mrs. Thomas K. Noble. who had kindly consented to address the school at this commence- ment Occasion. , Mrs. Noble began her remarks by speaking of the interest she. and Dr. Noble had in the Hillside girls and the pleasure it afforded her to say a word to them in parting. Slie announced her topic as "Heart Culture." “Not that l depreciate brain culture." she said. "for I under- stand the importance of that. but heart culture is still lnore important. and I am always thankful that the girls In this school are always ftllly instruct- ed along that line. Brain culture alone may make a bril- liant woman. but she must have heart culture to be the perfect womanly wo- man .wo what you all to become. This is what gives a woman that atmosphere of sunirber that cheers and comforts and blesses all who come under her influence. The responsibility ‘for our at.mosphel;e,_we cannot get rid of. We all have some kind of an atmosphere. and it is for us to say what. that at- mOsphere shall be." ‘ Mrs. Noble dwelt very effectively on the teaching of the Bbile with refer- ence to the heart .as the fountain of spiritual life. and “under the guidance of the Divine Teacher." she continued. " ‘the pure in heart shall see God.‘ not alone hereafter, but here." In closing Mrs. Noble said: "Just a word to those who are to graduate this week. Perhaps it seems to some of you as if your education were finished. This would be very natural. But to us who are older it. seems as if your higher education had only just begun and we hope it will go on till you graduate into the skies with honor. A few weeks ago. when the gradu- ates of the Leland Sanford. Jr.. Unl- verslty were about to leave their Alma Mater. Rev. Dr. Heber Newton gave them for his last message. ‘See that thou make them after the pattern I gave thee in fish’s Mount,’ and I want to pass it on to it today. You remem- ber how minutely God gave Moses the directions for making the Tabernacle. and the Mercy Seat. and the Ark. and Just how to fashion the Cherubim. and then he says to him, ‘See that thou make them after the pattern I have showed thee in The Mount.’ “Every life is a plan of God. and be- ing a dIvIn (plan. must be an ideal one. And God I show each one of us the pattern of his plan for us. if we seek for it. Not In the routine of our every day duties. but the vision will come to us. as it did Moses on The Mount. And if we wi but remember the ad- monition, ‘see to it that thou make them after the pattern I have showed thee.’ and with the divine help persist- ently endeavor to follow the pattern. we shall make out lives successful. The reason why we see so many people making failures is because either they have never seen’the pattern which God is ready to show us. or else they have forgotten allabout It, and have substituted patterns and ideals of their own. So I admonish you. see to it that you make your lives after the pattern God will show (you, and then when the end comes. you can say with Jesus. ‘I have finished the work thou gavest me to do:' ” Mrs. Noble’s impressive and beautl~ ful'words were received with tender interest . and appreciation. At the closeof ting-session the school gave a rising. of thanks to her and erery pupil, “Reseller came forward for a penning! ”greeting and handclasp.

West- port avenue, when it was decided to— widen the road sixteen feet at this point by taking off sixteen feet of the home's property; This will take in a row of trees.

Cramptouuofdhe both Company. had been to him in reference to a firé alarm box in front of the mill. The Council talked the matter over and decided to change the location of the box at the corner of Catharine and Fair streets. to a point in front of the mill. and to have. the box placed in the very best order If it is not already so. Councilman Riordan referred to the completion of the. brick approach to the fire house insMaIn street. Councilman Reynolds brought up the matter of the condition of the shie- walks from the residence of S. B. Wil- son to Belden Place, alld he was in- structod to notify the owners of prop- erty affected to make repairs, A bill was presented. showing that the Norwalk Club had without notify- ing the city. increased the charges for heating the library store in the club building. during the last quarter It was there from 850, which always had been the price. to 875. The bill was not ordered paid and the matter will be further looked Into. E. S. Adams appeared at the meet- ing of the Council and stated that a committee from the Business Men's As- sociation was to have been present to bring up the matter of calling a spe- clal city meeting to authorize the lay- ing of a sewer to the Fair Grounds for the use of the Muller silk concern and the other people on the line. Mayor Glover did not favor going ahead blindly in the matter as no contracts were yet signed. Ex-Mayor James T. Hubbell thought that It would be well to call the city meeting to authorise the Council to act in the matter at their discretion. This would be. In Mr. Hubbell's opinion. a sign of activity to the silk mill people that the city was Interested in the matter. The mayor said this could not he done very well at present. as the city charter specified that when an appropriation Is made for any work to be done above the amount call- ed for In the city's regular appropria- tions. a tax must be laid to cover the cost of improvement to be made. Upon motion of Councilman Riordan it.was voted that the Council approve of laying a sewer to the Fair Grounds when it becomes necessary. This. the mayor thought. would cover the matter at the present time. Mr. Adams said that an engineer had gone over the grounds and his ea- timate for a twelve-inch"s‘ewer was approximately 82.500 and for a sixteen~ inch sewer 88.500. Upon motion of Councilman Glover it was voted that the semi-annual inter est. due July let. be paid. and the meet- ing than adjourned. ‘ LAWN FETE TOMORROW NIGHT.

The hearing on the Washing- ton street layout went over tlntll June 29, steps were taken to place an ill- junction on Timothy J. Sullivan. who is erecting a building at Monroe street and Railroad avenue, until such time as a building line be established. A number of other matters were taken p. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Cavanagh. The full board was present. The report of the street commissioners regarding a building line on Railroad avenue was handed in. It was as follows: Gentlemen: In accordance with a vote of your body at a meeting held June. 1. 1903. we would respectfully re‘ port that we have. looked carefully In- to the matter of establishing a building line on Railroad avenue. and would re- spectfully recommend a five foot build- ing from West Washington street to the north side of the brick building owned by Mrs. Sarah Larrigan. from thence following front of said building thence continuing In a straight line to a point on Monroe street as submitted to your body by the committee of free- holders appointed for said work. We would report favorably upon the extension of the sewer in Cedar street as petitioned for at your last meeting. Very respectfully, R, J. CUTBildl. LUTHER M. WRIGHT CHARLES E. DOW. . Street Commissioners: It was voted that the recommenda- tion of the commissioners be adopted. The matter of the widening of Wash- ington street was then taken up. Manse were shown and a number of the prop erty owners inspected them. A. E. Austin was the first speaker. He thought that the amount to be paid for the property ls excessive (fill 000). He had heard valuations of $12,000 and 810,000 for it. He also thought that the assessments were unjust. He thought that the damages should be the cost of moving the building and the actual value of the land. In regard to the assessments those who are not benefitted should pay; those who pass by there‘ would be ben- efitted. All the people are benefitted. He Is assessed $81 for the change. He could not getone cent more rent or sell for more money. He Is also as- sessed for a small piece of property on the east side of the drawbridge. He could not see how be derived any bene- fit from It. ‘ ~ John L. Richards was the next speak- ed. He owns a piece of property on the bridge. He said that he did not receive 25 per cent. value of the taxes they pay. He objected to the width of the road. The fire insurance is exces- sive because there is no protection against fire. People go without Insur- ance rather than pay 3 or 3%., per cent. He did not think It was fair to assess him and not assess the property own- ers on North Main street. All the foundations of those buildings are per- lshabls. Attorney John J. Keogh represent- ing the Hafner estate. which has been assessed on 125 feet. was the next speaker.- Part of this property has a stone foundation and does not come Continued on Second Page. iSCHODA‘ CLUB TO BANQUET.

Travelling with all her snow white sails filling to the wind. the schooner yacht Estelle. one time flagship of the New York Yacht Club. and still attach- ed to that famous organisation's fleet, was struck ‘by a squall and capsized and wrecked In long Island Sound yea- terdaw afternoon. about two miles off the shore of Glen Cove. Being a centreboard she did not sink. and to this fact is due the escape with their lives of Lawrence J. Callahan. the millionaire Vesey street. New York. tea merchant and owner of the Estelle: his nephew. James Madlgan; John O’Hara. of Brooklyn; Captain Sisson pad the crew of eight men. ' The Estelle was built In South Nor~ walk many years ago by John L. Richards. at the ship yard which at that time was a short distance below the present South Norwalk steamboat dock. Mr. Richards built. her for Francis Burrltt, of Bridgeport. but for. merly of Norwalk. The very best of material was put in her and she was elegantly fitted up. It is said that she cost at least 830,000 when built. Some time later site was sold at auction to Captain Hoyt for about 32.500 and Mr. Hoyt disposed of her in a few days to Commodore James 1). Smith, of Stam- ford at a profit of $2.000. When first built the Estelle did not prove to be a very good sailor and the position of her masts was changed. which made her a faster boat. Com- modore Smith lengthened her and then she turned out to be a very speedy craft. Yesterday otlt of ‘a sky that had not been clear all day. but that suddenly had become blackly overcast, a squall came screaming. ripping the Estelle's calls with a. roar and sndpplng her masts. the men aboard her managed to cling to the rigging and remain aboard. Then. as the yacht lay helpless. be~ Ing tossed in every direc’tiomby rough and choppy waters. with her port 'clde out of the water. the wrecked sports- men and their crew made their way to places along the hull. while C. K. G. liliilngs‘s steam yacht Surf. also of the New York Yacht Club. came at top speed to the rescue. Small boats were lowered and these were courageously rowed close to the tossing wreck. Ev- ery man on board the Estelle was tak- en off In safety. . The Estelle. many years ago. when James I), Smith was commodore of the ‘New York Yacht Club. was that or- ganisation’s fiagship. She is very old- fashioned schooner yacht' now. She was formerly the property of the Rev. J. J. Dougherty. of New York. htlt about a year or two ago passed into the ownership of Mr. Callanan. He owns two other modern yachts. but for Sound sailing has always considered the Estelle to be safe and serviceable. It was while the Estelle was heading -outheast in the making of a port tack. with the design of cutting across the course and getting a good position for a view of the finish of the race, that a vicious squall came suddenly out of the northwest and wrecked her. It happened at about half past two o'clock. Having all sails set In winds that were high, the Estelle's starboard» rail was plowing under the water. She under so heavily that when the tack was tried she did not answer the tiller. and Instead the squall struck her over as if the sails had been a filmsy sheet of paper standing in the wind. liar masts split andtbe sail-tore. Then the. yacht lay over' so (hamlets: Iy manner port side reared out oftno water like a whale's back. in the Glen Cove harbor the Estelle was righted, but she is so badly dam. aged that His thought the old New York Yacht Club flagship will never be put into commission again.
