Pupils of Miss Baird's
Golebrated flailowe'en in a
Most Happy Manner——
Original Costumes. iland-
some Decorations, Music.
and Supper
The pupils of Miss Baird's Institute
celebrated Hallowe'cn in a very happ,
manner last Saturday evening. At the
appointed hour the faculty were seated
in the school hall and the grand march
began. The ball was lighted by cau-
dles. Cliineso lanterns. and duke-tau:-
terns, giving a dim, weird light; anti
the slow, stately march was well sult-
ed to it. Suddenly tlte electric lights
were turned on. and the tasteful and
original costumes of the young ladies
made an almost magical effect. At the
r,’ close of the march the leaders present-
ed the various characters to the prin-
? clpal, amid much tnerriment at the
transformations caused by the fancy
dress. The costumes were all so pret-
. ty and striking that it is difficult to
g discriminate. ‘There were several
‘ Japanese ladies resplendent in crim-
son and gold, and a Japanese baby in
amber and pink. “Our banner girl"
. was decked in banners of various
,1, shapes and colors. There were. queens
of hearts and queens of fairies; nor did
the latter want for subjects. as sever-
al autmnu s rites stood ready to do her
bidding. Lady Babble" was there
with “Kate Greenway' and “Dorothy
G.” To represent the foreign element
there were two Gypsy maids and a
Spanish lady of rank. as well as a
tambourine girl. Nor were there lacu-
lng characters especially suited to the
seasons. There was a harvest girl,
whose pale yellow gowii was profuse-
ly decorated with ears of corn: a vege-
table girl wore it becoming cap of cab-
bage leaves, and carried a potato
card case, as well as her basket of veg-
etables; there was a “Nut Brown
Maid.” and an orchard girl, bearing a
i basket of mellow fruit, also a bitter-
sweet glrl. a pumpkin girl, an autumn
.....-.... girl and a dainty yellow shun
mum. From the pages of history came
Martha W flington and Octavius
Caesar; whil the days of "Auld Lang
Syne" were ably represented by “Miss
Penelope.
Perhaps no character was more ably
carried out than that of the old witch
wife who brushed' the cobwebs from
the sky. She came in at the close of
the march bearing her famous broom.
from which were drawn long ribbons of
paper bearing quotations suited to the
different members of the school. The
reading of these caused much amuse-i
meat, as considerable wit was shown
in fitting the quotations to the person
intended. The program proceeded
with recitations, readings, vocal and in-
strumental music. all of which reflected
much credit on the young performers. a
little French song rendered by air ant;
umn maiden and a fairy, being especial
ly well received. Finally an apple
carving contest was announced. Each
member of'the schoul was given an ap-
ple from which she was to carve in ten
minutes any object she chose to select.
The result showed a surprising amount
of ingenuity and a wide range in the
selection of models. , After an interval,'

"One of the most enterprising bank-
ing institutions i know of." said a Well
known entleiiian in speaklit of the
South orwalk Trusl Co. lthough
the company ls less than three years

growth, and. while its history has been
brief, it is today occupying an import-
ant place in the financial interests of
South Norwalk. ,
The company .Was incorporated at
the January session of the State Legiti-
lature in 1901. The act was signed by
the Governor April 6, 1901. and April
15, 1901, the company opened for busi-
ness in the quarters formerly occupied
by the First National Bank on Wash-
ington street, which was at that time
in liquidation. The first Board of
Trustees consisted of F. A, Ferris. E.
O. Keeler, Nelson Taylor, A. H. Wood-
ward, F, A. Smith. W. H. Perry, '1‘. l.
Raymond. T. S. Lowdncs and R. H.
Golden. F. A. Ferris was elected presi-
dent, R. H. Golden, vice-president and
Charles E. Hoyt, treasurer, Soon after
the commencement of business, Mr,
Ferris, owing to pressure of other iii-
terests, resigned as president and Mr.
Golden was elected to the office, and
Mr. Kceler was made vice-president.
Charles E. Seymour being chosen a di-
rector to fill the vacancy. Mr. Golden.
the president, carries on a successful
real estate and insurance business in
South Norwalk; Mr. Keler is (if the
wholesale grocery concern of the
Holmes, Keeler & Selleck (‘o.. of Norv
walk, and formerly lieutenantgover-
nor of the State, while Mr. Hoyt, the
treasurer, was associated with the City
Bank for five years. leaving there in
1889 for a position wlih the Fairfield
County National Bank, Norwalk. with
which bank he was identified up to the
time he was made treasurer of the
Trust. Co.
The latter part of 1901. the quarters
thcn Occupied by the company having
been found inadequate, the building at
No. 93 Washington street was purchas-
ed and the first floor fitted up for the
company's use, and in the follownig
March removal was made to the new
location. Here every facility is pro-
vided for conducting'the business. The
vault arrangement is one of the finest
in this section. and is built so solidly
and substantially as to furnish abso-
lute protection. The vault is fitted up
with safety deposit boxes, and the door
is provided with a double automatic
time. lock. in the rear is a large soc-
tlou used for records and papers. The
vault is located in the centre of the
room. the entire exterior being expos-
ed. The equipment of the company
otherwise is also tip to date in every
particular.

. ployees in the factories to save what
they can out of their earnings. with the
yresult that probably more people are

At the end of the first
Yesterday
Address in the interest of
the l. M. C. A. by James
W. Wardrop. of New lorlt:
Singing by Mr. Duty and
Music by the Orchestra
That interest in the Young Men's
Christian Association in The Norwalks
is still considerable, was demonstrated
by the audience that attended the
men's rally, held yesterday afternoon,
in the First Methodist Episcopal
Church. About one hundred people
wure present, but not near as many as
the nature of the service or ability of
the speaker and soloist, who had been
Hjlii'iuny engaged for the occasion,
warranted.
The iiieetlng was called to order
about 3:30 o'clock, by President H..J.
llipson. ’i‘wo hymns were sung, the
Young Men’s Christian Association
tlrclu-strtt furnishing the instrumental
act-oiiipuuiiiient, ’ilie pastor of the
church. Rev. W. \V. T. Duncan. led in
prayer. W. A. Doty. a well-known
singer from New York city, gave two
solos, Blessed Saviour Thou Wilt
Guide Me, and Can a Boy Forgot His
Mother?
Mr. Hipson then introduced the
speaker of the afternoon, James W.
Wardrop, of New York, The latter is
an official of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railroad Company.
and is a forceful speaker, having an
excellent appearance and delivery. His
topic was "Just Before the Battle." and
be selected a text from ll Chronicles
xx., 12, "0 our God, will thou not judge
them? for we have no might against
this great company that coineth against
us; neither know we what to do: but
our eyes are upon Thee."
Mr. Wardrop gave a brief sketch of
the strength and work that has been
iiecoiiipllshcd by the Y. M. C. A.
throughout the world, but be greatly
deplored the fact that there was not an
increasing interest in the movement in
The Norwalks, where, he said, he be-
lieved that there was a most excellent
field. He said that there were frilly
ilVe, hundred young men in the town
who ought to be enrolled as members
he mthe Asaordutlon. and
through this means, into the Christian
work anti made members of the var-
ious churches.
Mr. Wardrop gave a number of very
interesting experiences relating his
double conversion, and he held the
closest attention of his hearers for
over an hour. giving facts. anecdotes.
arid very interesting sketches in the.
most happy and convincing way. At
the close of the meeting he was warm—
ly thanked for his address. and there
is no doubt that the impression left
will cause a still greater activity in the
religious movement in the Association.
After prayer by William F. Water-
bury, of Stamford, the meeting closed
with the benediction, pronounced by
Rev. Mr. Duncan.

A heavy fine was imposed in the

been believed for some time by the po-
lice that Hartlgan has been selling li-

Yesterday afternoon. acting upon a
number of complaints which had been
made of late regarding the place. Chief
of Police Vollmer, with Ofilcers Smith
and 'l‘oothlll. went to the saloon and
succeeded in getting to the rear of it
before they were detected by the. occu-
pants of the restaurant. They saw
liartigan leave the restaurant and go
to' the cellar underneath the saloon.
and return with two glasses of amber
colored liqulr surmounted by a white
collar of foam. He went into the rss~
tauriint and the three representatives
of the law jumped the fence and fol-
lowed him lnto the restaurant kitch-
en, where two men were sitting with
glasses of the liquid in their hands. it
looked like hear, it smelled like beer,
and when the officers tasted it, they
found that it was beer. Hartigan was
placed under arrest. There were sev-
eral men in the room.
The officers then went to the cellar
of the saloon and found there a keg of
beer on draught. A lighted lantern
hung beside it. Hatrlgan was placed
under ball of $40 to appear in court
this morning. The case came up before
Judge Taylor lit the Town Court.
Judge Lockwood, the local liquor agent
prosecuted.
Chief Vollmer told the story of the
raid, and how he had found the men
in the restaurant; also that there were
five empty glasses in the saloon cellar.
The glasses appeared to be wet. '
Hartlgau pleaded guilty to the first
count, and a nolle was recommended
in the other two. He said that he had
served the beer to two men who were
boarding with him. and that it just
took the place of tea or coffee with
their meals.
His story was an ingenious one, but
Judge Taylor told him that he did not
believe it, and thought that it was his
intention to sell as much as he could,
and take the chances. He also told
Hartigan that he did not believe that
he tried to observe the law, and that
he must learn to do so. The only rea-
son that he did not send him to jail
was on account of his wife and child-
ren. Ho then gave him the show; fine.
Hartlgan paid up.

Very Pleasing DouinoParty
in lookwood's flail. Satur-
day Night—M usio by
Wheeler ti Wilson Orchestra
The domino dance. given in Lock-
wood's Hall, Hallowe’en, Saturday
night, proved a most charming success,
as is fully attested by all of those for-
tunate enough to have been present.
The affair was managed entirely by
the young ladies. who carried out all
of the arrangements to perfection.
Very few of the young men learned
with whom they danced.
The young ladies predominated
throughout the evening. At 8 o‘clock.
the young men were called for by lllr'
ladies and escorted to the ball. Here
the young ladies asked for the differ-
ent tlultt‘es as the young men would use
iially do. The former were attired in
what is called a domino costume, en-
tirely of white material. with pointed
white caps and white masks. One
could be distinguished front another by
the various numbers on the front of
their costume.
Their gentlemen friends thought
that after intermission, when the. lady
friends removed the domino costume
that it would be easy for them to dis-
tinguish the young ladies with whom
they would dance for the remainder of
the evening, but they were mistaken
again, for when the second part of the
program was begun, the domino cos-
tumes were again donned by the young
ladies the same as during the first part
of the program. but without the num-
bers. ‘
, When a dance was completed the,
young men ware somewhat at son un-
til they were wisked away into another
dance by the young ladies.
The general arrangements for the
dance were in charge of Mrs. Benja-
mlii F. Andrews, Miss Lucretia Sanger
and Miss Marjorie Bishop.
lleKlyii catered biit the. arrange
ments for this part of the program was
under the supervision of Mrs. Robert
S. Van Bureii and Mrs. Reed G. Havi-
lnnd. ‘
The programs were very pretty af-
fairs and were artistically handpaint.
ed. Mrs. Robert G. Hartford and Mrs.
Albert Mossman looked after this mat-
tor.
Excellent music for the occasion was
furnished by the Wheeler and Wilson
orchestra. of Bridgeport, which was
seated on the stage.
The hall was beautifully decorated
and was the prettiest it has been in a
long flute. The harvest time of the
year was made prominent with the pro
fusion of grain, corn, autumn leaves.
vegetables, etc. The decorations ex-
tended over the entire hall and were
put in place by young ladies interest-
ed in the affair. The stage was espec-
ially pretty. Dugout pumpkins with
grotesque faces, in keeping with the
occasion, were fitted over the electric
light globes in various parts of the
hall. Tinted tissue paper was placed
over other electric globes, making a
mellow light and the scene a prettier
one.
The floor was just comfortably filled
with the dancers. while in the galler-
ies were many more guests.
On the floor were the following: Mr.

in Ruins at Gooey Island
Financial Lou of $1,600.00 Said to be
Due to the Drunken Freak of
Two Men.
NEW YORK, Nov, 2-Fourteen sol-
id biocks of baildings in ruins, one life
lost, two score persons injured, five
hundred persons homeless and a fi-
iianeial loss of $1,500,000, is the out-
come of an alleged drunken freak
which resulted in the fire at Coney
island yesterday.
Frank Connolly, 27 years old. and
Peter Skelly, 33 years old. former
waiters in the Albatross Hotel, Sheeps-
head walk and the Bowery, are lock-
ed up, charged with arson. on the
strength of a statement made by Bar-
ney Wolf, proprietor of a Raines Law
hotel at the island. Wolf says that
on Friday night Connolly and Skelly
in the presence of a crowd said that
things were getting dull on the is-
laiid and they believed they would li-
ven the place up with a fire. Wolf
says he saw them start a fire, whiqb
he put out. Again yesterday, he as-
serts, they started a second fire. and
he arrived just as the flamsa shot up
and was unable to control them as he
had done on Friday and he gave the
alarm. When he saw his own place
burn. and heard that his brother-in—
law. Albert Rubin, had his skull frac—
tured by leaping from a window to
save himself, he told the pollce'of Con-
nolly and Skelly, the two latter were
helping carry furniture out of the burn-
ing Albatross Hotel when created; and
refused to make any answer to the
charge.
They were arraigned in the Coney
island Court today, but at the request
of the police. their case was laid over.
Today there is a great scarcity of
food on the island and hundreds are
suffering for the ordinary necessities of
life.
All night and today the’ police had
lines about the burned district to pre-
vent vandalism and looting. Orders
were given to deal with looters with-
out mercy.
it is believed that Connelley is a
native of Norwalk, and Skelley is,a
former resident of South Norwalk. The
two men were known to have been to-
gether of recent years. and visited
fairs. sldeshows, and the like. The
New York police are now looking for
Connelley's brother, Charles Connel-
ley, also a resident of Norwalk.
