_ alt SUBBESS
President Arthur T. Hadley. of
Yale College, and Other Able
South Horwslk Oongrepe
at Church
The annual banquet of the Men's
Club. of the South Norwalk Congrega‘
tional Church, last evening. proved to
be a very happy event. and a thorough
occinl and literary success. The prin-
cipal address of the evening was by
President Arthur Twining Hadley of
Yale College, and was a most interest
ing and masterly piece of eloquence.
A delicious banquet served to satisfy
the wants of the inner man and the
first public event of this newly forur
ed organization certainly started it on
its career ill_u must auspicious milli-
her.
At 6:30 o'clock the reception coni-
menced and the guests were introduc-
ed to President Hadley and the oili-
clals oi’ the church. together with Rev.
Gerald ii. Heard. After this ceremony
was over, during which music was
rendered by the orchestra. the guests
filed down to the banquet room of the
church. which was tastefully decorated
with flags. bunting, Yale flags and
other emblems of the college, in honor
of President Hadley. At a large table
were sealed the Yale graduates, who,
at appropriate times during the even-
ing. gave voice to the Yale yell.
The meeting was appropriately
opened by a few witty remarks by
Judge John H. Light, who introduced
in turn Dr.‘ E. H. Gumbart. the toast-
master of the evening. The whole
gathering. led by the orchestra. then
sung the song "Eli Yale." after which
Dr. Gumbsrt in an eloquent and witty
address, introduced the speaker of the
evening. Dr. Arthur T. Hadley.
The subject of his address was
"Uses of Education," and the follow-
ing is on abstract of his speech:
in one of our best children’s classics.
Alice asks the Cheshire Cat. 'wbich
road she ought to take, The‘Cheshire
Cat replies that that depends upon
where she wants to go to; and when
it appears that Alice has not decided
where she wants to go, thefiheshlrc
Cat intimates that. it seems to make
comparativelyndlttlo differanco which
road one takes. ‘ 5' .
Most of our discussion of education-
al questions is; beset by this some dif-
ficulty. We ask) whether our children
should study this thing or that thing,
whether they should go to one kind of
scoot or to another kind. of school;
with‘ut having first. decided whu tis to
he the rod of their study or the oi»
jeci to which their schooling should
lead. One group of reformers urges
us to have more manual training; but
when we ask them what they propose
to train the children for. they are far
fromholng ready to give a consistent
answer. Another group of people do-
bates whether modern languages make
a better education than the classics;
but when you ask .what is the real
0nd of an education in languages and
literature, it seldom turns out that
they have made up their mind. They
are trying to choose the road on the
basis of its immediate attractiveness.
without having first made the neces-
sary decision where they want it to
take them.
As i roncaive it there are three
main ends of education: the technical
end of enabling our children to make
a better living; the aesthetic and of
enabling them to get more enjoyment
out; of life. and the public end of malt-
lng better citizens of a self-governing
community. If we decide which of
these we want, we can almost cer-
tainly get it. If we decide in what
proportion we want to pursue all
three, we can establish a system which
shall keep that proportion. But if we
do not decide which we are going to
pursue. or if we pursue them all in-
discriminately. the result will be con-
fusion and inefficiency. You can no
more. arrange a school system without
considering the kind of product which
lion-r
range a successful factory without
reference to the demands of the mar-
ketl. The fact that your school system
is supported by public taxes or pri-
vate benefactions may for the time
being conceal its failure to do what is
suit worse in the long run. because it
lets, it go on so long uncorrected.
' Perhaps the majority of people at
the present day think that the main
primary schools must be taught to read
and write, because if he never learns
to mod and write he never can taste
more than a dollar and a half I. day.
A boy in high school And college must
be given the opportunity to learn the
kind of trade or profession he wants
to pursue, because if he applies him-
self to the study of his trade or profes-
sion he can make more money than if
he entered life without any such train-
ings-This idea is right to a certain
cutout. It is unquestionably one im-

BATTLE OF NEW BURN
Assessor William O. Crooked
Remembers at Full lie Hsd 45
Yesrs Ago '
Away back in 1862. on Mart-h 13.
Tax Assessor William G. Crockett fell
down. This is the anniversary of his
tumble. It was at the. battle of New
Burn, North Carolina. as many a Nor-
walk veteran will remember.
The Unionl troops under command
of General Burnside were attacking
the rebels and the charge had to be
made across ground which was in-
tensely swampy in its character. Mr.
Crockett answered the order to charge
on the enemy and as he did so, having
any one shoe, he caught his foot in
a projecting root and tripped. Down
he went into the mud and to make mat-
ters worse, Comrade Cahill. of Not-
wnlk, tripped over him. and he too
went down into the sticky mud which
clung to them like mncilage. By the
time they could get untangied, the
regiment was some hundred yards
ahead of them. but they managed to
catch up with it in time to get into
the assault.
"Cale" Wood. of as Norwalk, was
another who took part in this battle.
It rained hard the night before the bat-
tle and Mr. Wood. wet through. was
trying to get some sleep in the partial
shelter of a big pitch pine tree. Just
as he got a few winks. some mischievv
ous comrade set fire to the pitch on
the other side of the tree and smoked
him out.
After the works had been assaulted
and taken Caleb Wood and one of the
others espicd what they surmised to
be the quarter-master's department.
and they made a break for it. The
spoil that they secured was a case of
crackers and a tremendous cheese.
The crackers were about an inch in
thickness and as big as dinner pstes.
Just as they were getting outside the
food, along rode General Burnside. It
was the work of an instant to cut ,a
slice of cheese two inches thick. put
it between two crackers and offer the
Brobdingnagian sandwich to the gen-
eral. He refused with a laugh, saying
“No thanks, boys. I have had mine,
but enjoy yourselves, for you have
done a good day's work."
These were some of the reminiscen-
ces brought up this morning over the
checkerboard at Gus Pfizer's barber
shop.

PITTSBURG. Pa, March It.——Pitts'
burg is experiencing one of its great-
est floods. The record of ten years
has already been passed and the riv-
ers are still rising.
If the rise continues at the present
rate the record of 1884, when the wa-
ter reached the highest stage since
1835, will have been passed long be-
fore nightfall. The stage in 1884 was
33 feet. 4 inches.
Today at 10 o'clock the marks reg-
istered 32 feet. with the water creel»
itlg up at the rate of six inches an
hour and still rising at all head watt-r
points. .
Every tributary along the upper riv-
ers is swollen and dispatches from all
sections of Western Pannsylvuula re»
port the smaller streams beyond their
banks and the surrounding disll'il-ls
submerged.
Weather Bureau officials predict 34
feet or over at Plttsbnrg. if this slam:
is reached the flood will not only be
the greatest in seventy~five years. but
the most disastrous in the history of
the city.
At 5 o‘clock this morning the stage
of water reachedJn the rivers here
was 30 feet and rising eight inches an
hour. The stage at that time was eight
feet over the danger mark. The lower
portions of Pittsburg and Allegheny
and surrounding tow were. inundat-
ed. Shifts and wagonmore being used
to convey people throughout the flood-
ed districts. and if the rise continues
at the same rate for the next couple
of hours. the wagons will have to be
dispensed with.
At the local office of the United
States Weather Bureau this morning
it was said that the present flood is
the most remarkable on record. Tul-
etilrorlomnlrtl telegraph wires are kept
busy sending warning throughout the
flood districts. Accort ing to the 6m-
clals the floor water is rising bcyond
til expectations and lhc situation i.‘
serious.
'i‘lu Health liurcau is engaged in
notifying the people to boil the drink-
ing water. in a statement lsnued this
morning it is said that the water is
poisonous. owing to the flood condi-
lions, and a typhoid fever epidemic
is feared If precautions are not taken.
All the dirt and filth from the river
banks above Pittsburg is being wash-
ed down. The water here at present
is muddy and not fit to be used.
Alarming reports are being received
here from all parts of Western Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia. Every
stream is overflowing its banks. Many
towns are almost submerged; bun-
dreds of houses are surrounded by the
water and the people are living on the
second floors; the coal mines along
the rivers in the Monongahela valley
are flooded and thousands of miners
are idle; mills and business houses
have from one to three feet of water
in their first floors. necessitating a sus-
pension of business. Damage to prop-
erty in the suburbs and above the
city will be heavy. Ulrofticially this
damage is estimated already at 8500.-
000. in Allegheny county several
fataltities have occurred on account of
‘the high water and a number of deaths
are reported from the river.
The danger to Pittsburg and vicinity
is greatly increased by heavy ice
gorges in the Monongahela sud Alle
gheny Rivers about twenty-five miles
above the city. One ice gorge alone
in the Clarion River at Parker. Pat.
is thirty miles in length, and contin-
ued rains and high temperature threat-
en to start it toward Plttsburg at al-
most any moment. Tho Youghiagheny
and Kiskiminitis rivers are swollen as
never before remembered hand the
large volume of water is calming the
Monongahela river to ov rilow its
banks with great force our territory
not heretofore affected by flood waters
is inundated. ~ All the railroads enter-
ing Pittsburg, except the main line of
the Pennsylvania and Plttsburg and
Lake Erie. are crippled; ’
0n the Baltimore & Ohio train ser-
vice is almost suspende and on the
branch lines of the on road. above
the city there is a complete suspen.
slon. Trains on the meat Penn divis-
ion of the Pennsylva a Railroad are
being brought direct into the city. as
they are unable to re 11 the Allegheny
station. Street car ines ill the sub-
urbssre either suspended or are run-
ning spasmodicail .and many persons
are having much ‘ ifllculty in reaching
the city. . . .
It was strangled early today that
the loss from ing down the manu-
facturing plants alone would exceed
half a million’dollers. and the damage
to property from the high water would
be as much more.
Nine deaths are attributed to the
flood so far. This includes the three
trainmen who lost‘ their lives by the
collapse of the Harmarsville bridge
yesterday, and the two men drowned
last night when the lewboat Cruiser
capsized in the Ohio river. The other
fatalities reported are:

This makes the third double funeral
held ill The Not-walks in a short spawn
of time.
Captain Hoyt was for many years at
the head of one of the leading busi-
ness enterprises in this section of the
state, beta the senior member of the
firm of WI lain If. Hoyt a Son, plant.-
ers, exporters and wholesale.“ dealers
in East River oysters and seed. He
was regarded as n veteran in his line.
having begun the business when he
was onlylfourteen years old. with an
elder brother. George A. Hoyt. after-
ward being in partnership with
Charles W. Hoyt. under the firm name
of Hoyt Brothers, for eight years. He
was also connected with a similar en-
terprise in New Haven. in addition to
his business at South Norwsllt. The
latter was established in 1865. and in
July. 1880, a stock company was form-‘
ed under the name of The Hoyt Broth-
ers‘ Company, the subscribers being
Charles W. and William H. Hoyt and
George H. Townsend. In 1887 this
firm was succeeded by that of William
H'. Hoyt & Son. and remained as such
until some time ago, when, on ac-
count of failing health; and the death
of his son. Captain Albert J. Hoyt. the
senior member of the firm disposed of
his extensive holdings to Andrew Rn»
del. During Mr. Hoyt’s control of the
business the trade was constantly ex-
tended, having had a large seed trade
and, extensive European buyers. They
owned largo oyster beds in Long Is
land Sound, and the bivalves, after
being packed in the establishment in
South Norwalk, were shipped to New
York stenmships. by which they
were carried to Europe.
The firm had several fine steamers.
two of them being the William H.
Hoyt and the Mildred. The latter was
a remarkable boat, designed on scien-
tific principles. to meet all of the
special features required to bring the
work of the oyster industry to a fine
point. Her equipment at that time
was as fine as any steamer afloat, and
she was the fastest vessel in the busi-
ness. The plant was at the foot of
Raymond street, where there were
large dot-ks, barges and store houses,
fitted with every known device for fac-
ilitating the proper handling and pack-
ing of oysters. The business was al.
ways conducted in a way to command
the respect and confidence of custom-
ers. reliability and fair dealing having
been the watchtvord of its manage-
ment from the start.
Captain Hoyt was born in Norwalk
in 1836. his youth was spent in South
Norwalk, and during that time he be
came acquainted with the details of
the carpenter's trade; but as he
thought the oyster business more con-
genial and promised greater profits,
be worked only three months at his
trade. He was fond of. travel, and
made several trips to Europe. Po-
litically he was a staunch Republican.

BHIDGEPOHT ROAD CERTAIN
Project Believed to Have Good
Ohsnce oi Receiving Charter
si Present Time
iiAl'f'l‘l’()lil). March Il.~'|‘llvrv was
a hearing before ”H‘ railroad commit-
llm on tho question of granting to
William ll. Marigold, .lohn ’I‘. King.
and Henry H. Reilly, of Bridgeport.
incorrmrateil. lin- l-llnl‘lel' rights and
privileges of a trolley road to extend
froul Bridgeport to llanbury and New
Milford. Appearances seem very
bright for the granting of the. charter.
A number of prominent Bridgeport
molt appeared ill favor of the road.
on the proviso that it be built at once.
and there was less opposition than has
developed against similar enterprises
lately.
Senator John Donnelly appeared be-
for the committee and expressed him-
self as opposed to the road as a mat«
ter of principle, because he did not
believe in granting valuable franchises
for nothing. On the other hand, he
admitted that the road was greatly
needed by the towns through which
it is planned to pass. and that it
would prove a great benefit forest»
dents all along the route. Senator
Donnolly said he would withdraw his
opposition it‘ the committee would in-
corporate in the charter a section pro-
viding that the road must be com-
plated and in operation within two
years of the time of granting of the
charter. or else the charter rights
must be forfeited. ~
Engineer Sperry explained lllat‘the
projected road would cost about $30.-
000 a mile ill some portions of lielhel.
where there is a ti per cent. grade.
but that in other places the cost would
be $20,000 a mile, and that the aver-
age for the whole road would not ex-
ceed 325.000 per mile.
The road is planned to begin at tl‘
terminal of the tracks of the Connecti-
cut Railwny and Lighting Company in
'North Main street, Bridgeport. and to
continue north for about 10 miles.
branching then to Danbury on the one
