sidorablo Anxiety

Considerable apprehension was carts-
ed last night. by the failure of Clarence
Byxbee son of Captain and Mrs. lr‘red
ericit l. Byxbee. of South Main street,
to return from a ducking expedition on
which he went early in the evening.

The boy had been out several times
before on various hunting trips and
when ire said he was guing out last
night, nothing spatial was thought of
the matter, although his father on ac-
count of the dense fog which had pre
vailcd for several hours, cautioned him
about keeping in the vicinity, of Key-
aer's island, and to return home early.

At ten o'clock last evening Clarence
had not arrived home, andlfeariug that
he had lost his way in the fog. Cap-
tain Byxbee, accompanied by his old-
est son. Lester Byxbee, and Stanley
Mayhew, set out to find him. Captain
Byxbee told'his wife that possibly
Clarence irad gone over to Nanvoo is-
land. which is a favorite spotfor duck
shooters, and‘ that they would go there
looking for him, after the shore on the
west side had been thoroughly search-
ed. The night was unusually thick.
the fog settled down to stay, and the
search progressed very slowly. By
keeping close to the shore the party
finally reached Keyser's‘lsiand, where
a hunt was made, and as no trace of
the missing lad could be found, it was
decided to wait until daylight before
venturing out again. The men built a
fire on the beach. and managed to keep
warm and dry for the balance of the
night.

About 5: 15 oclock another start was
made but the party lost their bear-
ings in the fog. and after sailing about
the Sound for some time finally land-
ed at Sireflield-ondhu-Souad. Here
they found the caretakers, Arthur
Wicks and Wllllilill .i. h‘inney, and the
men were. pmildui with a warm men it'—
fast and given a“ Omnflb'l By this
time the fog was ifting alight] , and
the men procEded toN Nadlvob‘ land,
being actompanled by Mr. Wicks
ery part of this was covered but still
there was no sign of Clarence. it was
decided to return to South Norwalk.
and when Captain Bykbec and Lester
reached home lh y found (‘larcncc
awaiting them. Mr Wicks brought the
searchers to Sorttli' Norwaik in his
launch.

Clarence stated that he had landed
at l lttlc l. Hammock island, where he
found Fix-Mayor William B. Hubbeil's
cottage occupied by men who are fix-
ing up the island for the summer. He
went inside, and went to bed. remain-
ing there urrtll after daylight this

South Norwafk. He arrived home at
10: 30 o'clock none the worse for his
adventure

Another party composed of Harry
Platt and Walter F. Raymond. had a
simular experience. .‘rney left South
Norwalk yesterday afternoon, having
reached the Vintage Creek about 3 o‘
clock. The log was so thick they
could hardly-see to shoot and ducks,
and an effort was made.to reach Ce-
der Hammock, .lsland. in this the
young men were unsuccessful, and they
eventually brought up at Little L‘
Hammock Here they found Ex Mayor
W. B Hubbell Will in Richards and
Captain Theodore as 1th. They young
men were given supper. and later in
the evening were joined by young
Byxbee. Afterenjoying a night's rest
Messers. Plottand Raymond started
out for South Norwalk. Tirev cxner
lnced considerable difficulty in getting
here brrt finally reached home. They
only secured five black ducks. While
Raymond wits walking on the deck of
the boat, he slipped and fell overboard,
receiving a good ducking. ,

[in Glruhe

Prof. Calvin iliomas.
of Goiumbla University. New
York. Entertain frlday if-
ternoon Club. and V friends
at South Norwaik congra-
gational Church '

There was a good attendance, last ev-
thing at the South Norwak Congress
rionrrl Church to listen to a. lecture de-
livered by Prof. Calvin Thomas of Co-
lumbia University. New York. His

rum-ct was "Goethe." and he handiel

'it in a most masterly manner, much to
the edificatlon and pleasure of all his
hearers.

Music was provided for the, occasion
by Jesse. Hopson's violin orchestra
w'lrith rendered several very fine pieces
with the proficiency of professionals al-
most

The lecture was planned and given
by the members of the Friday After
noon Clrrb, the members of whichnum-
her almost all the ladies interested in
the arts and literature ,in the city.

Professor Thomas said in part that
with the lapse of time the figure of
ioethe seems to become larger and
larger and of more importance in the
literature of Germany and that people
have been greatly educated of late by
the study of Goethe‘s writings which
have been criticized and commented
upon to such a great extent that even
a scholar like himself could hardly keep
track of it. He presumed that what
the audience most desired would be a
general description of Goethe. the man
and the poet. He narrated the char
actcrlstics of the parents of the post
showing that his father was very pre-
cise and pedantic and that his mother
was a woman of lncamatc sunshine
and cheerfulness. She was but eigh-
teen years of age when Goethe was
born and made a playmate of him
which impressed her characteristics
firmly upon his mind. There was noth-
ing in Goethe's boyhood which showed
the future greatness of the man and
be exhibited practically no‘marks of
precocity. He was sent to Leipaic to
study law but the profession was dis.
tasteful to him and he preferred his
poetry. After quitting the university
therthe, among other things. fell in
love, and one of his earliest poems was
“The Lover's Dream." Goethe‘s sub-
jccts choae him and he was unhappy
r..rtil he had worked them out.
i Professor Thomas read some of his
wry early writings to his sister. some
of the poems of'whlch were written in
English and were very queer and gro-
tesque. After leaving Leipsic he
wont to his home and spent most of
his time reading and studying. and int-

' . errhe went to Strassbonrg where he

found the life much more to his liking.
At this period, his associations with
and reading of the works of other con-
temporaneous poets produced a great
effect upon him which was later shown
in his writings. it was at that time
that he showed his first inclination to
do away with the rules and conventions

.which surrounded art and literature
and allow it to be free. He became
very fond of Shakespeare. He hated

the artificial conventions of society
and clearly showed it. it. is very dif-
flcrrlt for Englishmen and Americans
to do full justice to Goethe as they
find him too soft and sentimental.
“spotmy.” as one writer has express-
cd it, but when his character is closely
studied in connection with his works
we no longer wonder why rivers of
tears have been shed over him. His
novels were the best produced up to
that time. They gave a perfect and
lnrmortal expression of the feelings of
the people of that century and a wave
of appreciation of him swept over Ger
many.

Professor Thomas told more of the
love affairs of Goethe, and how he fell
in love with a society belle in Frank-
fort, who wanted him to dance atten-
dance on her but he rebelled atytbat.
and so strong were his feelings on the
subject that at one time he contem-
plated eoming to America. What
would have been the result if instead
of giving to’ posterity “Faust" he had
given a line of Pennsylvania Dutch-
men. - -

The experiences of Goethe with po-
litical life and the offices which he held
were described and their effect upon
him was shown. He never liked the
.life as it interfered with his poetry. He
knew, however, that it won good for his
character and continued it. in 1786
he left it all behind him and went in
cognito across the Alps 1nd settled
in italy where the artistic surroundings
and atmosphiro had a marked effect
upon him. HT: heroes are the slaves

Some very clear vl on Faust, its

lecturer. He said that it was very rlif
fic’ult to Judge Goethe fully and well
ire was not always the ante and even

To asaail the character of Goethe as
in any way lgnobie is to simply mis-
understand him and this feeling on the
part of his critlcs is due to their own
limitations which do not allowthem to
study him on account of iris broadness.

Goethe was an individualist. the apos-
tle of striving. This was the very
heart of his philosophy. The alpha
and omega of his philosophy was the
importance of his work. He always
insisted that. the, perfection of self can
come only by self surrender.

Professor Thornou concluded with a
plea for the old fashioned culture as
against the rose water culture of today
and finished by comparing the charac
reristics of Goethe and Diderot as
shown by Morley's life of Diderot.

At the conclusion of the-lecture oth-

Disastrous Fire No. 6|
Broadway. New York. this
Noon—Several Employees
Removed from Balding in
Unconscious Condition

NEW YORK; March 26.-—Ail Wall
street and the down town section of
New York were thrown into unusual
excitement by a fire which started in
the building 61 Broadway, occupied by
the Morris European and American Ex-
press. Thousands of people poured:
from the tlrickiy populated financial
district into Broadway and massed
back for squares above and below the
blue. The inwering skyscrapers that
faced the fire held a ground faces
at every window. Tlrc burning build-
ings reached through to a narrow alley
in the rear and as the wind eddied
through it swcpt clouds of ember-laden
smoke into Broadway. so thick that
only occasionally could the red glare
of the flames be seen.

Closely following the first alarm. a
‘four" was turned in and then. with the
warning of the Baltimore fire in mind.
a "two-nine." the dreaded general
alarm, followed. Engine after engine,
followed by their hose trucks, water
towers and ladder trucks swept clangv
ing down Broadway. the only street of
access to the fire, bringing in their
wake added thousands of people to
swell the crowd that already packed
every inch of standing room in the
vicinity.

The fire started in the basement of
one of the three. five-story express
company buildings which adjoin each
other. Smoke was first seen coming
from the flagging of the sidewalk and
almost immediately flames burst forth
driving employees from the desks and
necessitating hurried efforts to save
books and effects.

There is always delay in getting wat-
cr on a fire in the financial district due
to the dlfiiculty of engines winding
their way in and out of the cars and
traffic on Broadway. ‘ B‘efore streams
of water were at play the fire had
gained tremendous hefdway and was
eating itswi'y south owarlia Trinity
Place taking in the Adams Building
and back to Church street.

At first the occupants of the big Em
pire Building which overlooks the fire
from rlre north, enjoyed their vantage
points, and the windows on the south
side were packed. But as the flames
gained headway. clouds of smoke and
heated air drove them away and many
of the tenants of this and adjoining
buildings were ficrccd to leave their of-
(ices For more than an hour after the
first alarm engines and other 19pm
run (:0 uued to sweep down Broad
way the "Two-Nine" alarms calling
out companies from as for north as
Harlem, the horses blown from their
eight mile fun. For the first ti e in
years the tutors saw some 0 the
old-fashions twowheel hose reel! that
were pressed into service to bring '9:-
mt pipe. Soon fire apparatus was pack-
ed from the scene of the fire back up
Broadway to Cortland street. a distance
of five blocks, there being about fifty
companies on the scene.

Trinity Church is just north of the
tire and as the crowds began to fill the
street they overfiowed into the his rlc
old church yard with its one out
graves and monuments. ,. An attempt
was made to clear them out and lock
the gates, but. without much success.
‘ As mnny engines as could be placed
were put into action on Church street
in the rear of the fire and a good fight
was made from there. As the ground
slopes rapidly from that part of Broad
way, the rear yachts of the buildings
have been converted into delivery
rooms on the street level of the alley
into which the express companiea‘ wag
on: are drawn to load. As the blaze
is well in the frontportlon of the struc-
ture, this afforded a good back fighting
ground and more than a desert stream
were got to work after a force of men
had smashed in windows and metal
casings to afford them access to the
blue in front. Meantime the fire es-
capes on the back of the buildings ware
alive' with employees loaded down

 

with books, papers and bass. and now
then a woman employee was helped
down the precarious structure.

Main street, Norwalk, was rudely
startled about ii :40 this morning when
a burning oil stove came flying out of
a third story window of the Mathois
block and a moment later. when it loud-
ed on the stone pavement, exploded. In
transit. the flames commuicated to a
lace‘ curtain and for a moment a ser-
ious blaze was imminent.

The trouble all occurred in apart-
ments occupied by Frederick W.
Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell is keeping
bachelor’s hall and was cooking his
dinner on an old stove. In some man-
ner the whole stove became enveloppd
in flames. To event the fire from
spreading Mr.- itcheli picked up the
burning stove and tossed it out of the
window When the curtain took fire,
he quickly pulled it down and smoth-
eréd ,the fire. While doing so, Mr.
Mitchell burned his hands quite palm
fully Practically no other damage
was done in the room, outside that:
