Exercises

Many Members of the
Alumnae Attend One of the
Pleasant functions in Gon-
nection with Commence-
ment Week at Miss Baird’s
Institute

The entertainments and various so-
cial functions of Commencement Week
culminated in the graduation exercises
last evening. All through the day the
numbers of the alumnae present on
Class Day were increased by new ar-
rivals from the classes of 1882, 1897.
1898, 1900 and 1902: and it was a merry
party that assembled In the dining
room at evening. bright with anticipa-
tion and happy in old memories. At
seven-thirty the guests began toassem-
hie in the long drawing-room. which
had been elaborately decorated with
flowers and draperies of the class col-
or. red. The shield of 1904 was above
the stage.

During the arrival and seating of the
guests the orchestra played several fine
selections. The first number on the
program was their rendering of a Hun-
garian Lustspiel by Kola Bela. Dur~
ing the preliminary playing of the or-

, chestra the school marched to their
places in front of the stage, followed
by the alumnae, who were very fully
represented.

The solemn and impressive invoea-
tion by the Rev. Charles M. Scllcck
commended the youth to the gracious
protection of the Heavenly Father.
After the venerable rector had passed
from‘ the stage, the Senior Class filed
slowly forward and took their places
on the platform.

Miss Helen Sara Hoyt then stepped
forward, and delivered a pleasing and
graceful sallltatory address, followed
by a very finely written essay entitled
“The Roll Call. ” Miss Hoyt began her
essay by a few reflections on ’the sight-
cance of names, leading out into the
early roll calls of life. on through the
various rolls that follow In every ca-
reer, ushering in social, financial, illici-
lectual experiences. heralding events
both sacred and secular. light and joy—
ous or weighted with sorrow until
“that inexorable tenses taker Dohth
calls the roll whose answer none can
evade." Miss Hoyt then widened the
application 0. the subject, mentioning
the roll calls famous in history and
literature, and ending with a brilliant
disertation on the roll call of fame.
Miss Hoyt read in a clear, sweet voice,
and with distinct enunciation. Her es-
say and reading won deserved ap-
plause.

Miss Rose Marie Newcomb, a mem—

. ber of the alumni. then sang Mattei's
beautiful "Slumber Song.” in a finish-
ed. artistic manner. Her voice is very
clear and strong, and has that peculiar,
indescribable quality, belonging only to
those “woose songs gush from the
heart." Added to the charm of'her
voice, Miss Newcomb has a most win—
ning personality. which alone would be
suflicient to gain favor for her with any
audience.

At the close of Miss Newcomb's song
Miss Elizabeth Converse Austin read a
very original essay on the subject "The
House That Jack Built." This article
covered a wide range of thought from
the simple dwelling at which we are
told in the nursery rhyme, on to the
splendid temple which man may rear
if he will for the soul. Miss Austin‘s
essay contained many historical con-
ceptions of thesubject; the great dyn-

, notice of ancient and modern nations.
‘ successive houses of England, and the
great founders of the wonderful struc~
fares which were reared by toil and
patience, courage. perseverance and
statecraft, all these were ably treated
and showed clearly the writer’s wide
course of study and reading. Miss Aus-

‘ tin possesses the somewhat rare gift of
a flexible, clear. sympathetic voice.
which has been trained to respond to
every turn of thought and feeling. She
was heartily applauded for her effort.

Miss Newcomb then sang two exqui-
site little songs, “At Parting," by Bog-
ers, in which the soft. sweet notes
floated tenderly through the room, and
a fascinating “lrish Folk Song" that
lacked none of the melody'and lilt of
the touching music of Erin.

Miss Louise Ruth Coleman then read
a very carefully prepared essay on
“The Herolsm of the Home Ruler."
Thts‘essay treated with great force
and originality. the occasions for hem-
ism in the domestic life of women. It
nbounded In humor, pathos and the
expression of high ideals and show-
ed the writer's acquaintance with I
variety 0.. historical-' Ind literary sub-

The orchestrIIrondered further sol-
ecttons. and the school passed across
the lawn. brilliantly lighted with .lap-
Ineae lanterns to the School Hall,
where the Commencement dance was to
be held. The Seniors delayed for con-
gratulations in the room that had- been
the scene of their student labors in
s udy and recitation during the past
year. bllt was now transformed into I
bower of fragrance and beauty by the
lowly blossoms sent them by their
friends.

The School Hall was beautifully dec-
orated with festoons of crops paper In
rod and white. with the class devices.
and with flowers and luxuriant palms.
'i‘he dainty dance orders in deep red
binding, bearing the school monogram
in willie. were distributed. and the
evening sped merrily on until the hour
of midnight. when the bell stroke an-
nounced that the time of parting had
come. (loud-nights were said; and
nothing remained of the school year of
1904 but the dispatching of trtlnks, the
regrets of the parting moment. and the
toy in the thought of return to happy
homes and holiday pleasures.

New Hotel Project
Again Heard in Norwaik

Promoter M. R. Bennett Interested in
Proposition of New York
Syndicate.

A syndicate of New York business
men have a proposition to build a new
hotel ill Norwalk. to cost $40,000. and
the negotiations have now reached
such a point that it is believed that
the chances are excellent for the city
to at last get a new hostelry.

Promoter Marcellus it. Bennett is
interested in the matter and Norwaik
people have. reached the opinion that
anythnig Mr. Bennett is interested III,
is pretty certain to culminate success-
fully.

This is shown by the various indus-
tries hc. has been very instrumental in
locating here within the past year or
two.

in conversation with a Sentinel man
tllis morning, Mrs. Bennett stated that
the proposition has now assumed
definite shape and that he would soon
bring the matter before the Business
Men's Association. He believes there
is no doubt the city can easily. secure
a first class hotel with the cooperation
of the business men.

He said that it was not desirable
just at this time to give out the nature
of the proposition.

Thorn have been so many new hotel
propositions before the people during
the past few years that they have late-
Iy been made, skeptical. bllt it is be-
lieved that a good business proposi-
tion will be. met with favor.

The annual meeting of the East Nor-
walk Fire District was held last even-
Ing, in the Fitch school, and for the
fourth consecutive year it was found
unnecessary to ‘luy a tax. There was
a good attendance, and most of the lit-
tle desks were filled ill the big recita-
tion room. 0n the blackboards were
written two inscriptions “Do Not Spit
on the Floor.” The other was "Don't
Spit on the Floor.” Probably the lat-
ter was for the illiterate. At any rate
all hands refrained and the meeting
was a success. Mayflower Hook and
Ladder Company and the East Nor-
walk Fire Police are to have new quar-

was transacted.

Was Floating
In The Sound

Body of an Unknown
Man found Off Goons Island.
bylirewofthe Steamer bom-
mander Yesterday After-
noon—brought to South
Norwalk

While the oyster steamer Command-
er, Captain Frederick Anderson. was
dredging for oysters off Copp‘s island,
yesterday afternoon one of the mem-
bers of the crew noticed a peculiar
looking object in the water nearby.
The steamer was headed toward it,
and it was seen to be the corpse of a
man floating face downward.

A rope was passed around the body.
and it was towed to this city. The
Commander made fast to the dock and
the corpse was covered with a canvas.
Medical Examiner Huntington arrived
about 4 o‘clock and ordered the body
taken to the undertaking. rooms of D.
W. Raymond. The body was towed to
the steImboaI. dock, where It was plac-
ed in I casket and taken away. A
large crowd watched the proceedings.
The body was in horrible shape, the
features having disappeared altogeth-
er and in places the yellow skull gap.
ed through the scalp. identification
was of course impossible, but It was
hoped that a search of the clothing
might reveal something.

The man was slightly above medium
height, rather slim. with black hair,
which had been cut a short time be-
fore he was drowned? So far as could
be noticed there were no other- marks
on the body to indicate any other
means of death than drowning.

At the undertaking rooms of G. H.
Raymond and Son in Norwaik. the
clothing was searched. but nothing at
all in the way of an identification mark
could be found which Is rather pecu-
liar. it is stated that there was not.
even I mark in the clothing to show
where it was made.

The man had evidently been fairly
well dressed. He were A short black
overcoat. of good make. a brown un-
der coat and grayish trousers. His
shoes showed wear. A cheap black
and white shirt showed that the fel-
low wII probably I laboring man.

The condition of the body and the
fact that seaweed was growing on the
clothes showed that he must have been
in the water for I number of months.
The overcoat would Indicate that he
must have been drowned during the
winter.

The remains will be buried this If-
ternoon at the town farm. ,

Dr. Huntington this morning stated
that from the examination and cir-
cumstances connected with the case
he would believe that the case was one
of accidental drowning. The body had
probably been in the water for two
or three months. but where the man
belonged it was impossible to learn.

A young lady from Bridgeport call~
ed at Raymond and Son's morgue this
morning in quest of her father. think-
ing that perhaps the man in the
morgue was her father. it was soon
demonstrated. however, that the body
was not that of her father, as the
color of her father's hair was white.
whereas the hair on the head of the
drowned man is black.

The young womIn's father diIIp-
peared from his home in Bridgeport in
March and not I word has been hand
from him since the day he went Iway.
