Commencement Exercises Held
Lost Evening at the West
‘ Avenue Institute Were Most
Successful in Quarter Cen-
tury of History
The culmination of commencement
week at. Miss Baird's Institute occur-
red last night in the graduating exer-
cises of the class of 1908.
After an opening instrumental selec~
tion the members of the school and
the alumnae passed Into the large
drawing room, which was artistically
decorated with draperies of the class
color. green, and with beautiful palms
and potted plants. _
To an affectionate and appreciative
audience. composed mainly of rela-
tives of the graduating class, Miss Ger-
trude Meyers extended a graceful wel—
come and then read a charming essay
on Cycles, dwelling first upon the
changing cycles of the seasons, their
changing beauties with the varied ex-
periences of a schoolgirl's year away
from home.
This was followed by a very Interest-
Ing paper on Shr‘nes. from Miss Agnes
Hooley; this was admirably prepared
and read with cleainess and expres-
sion. .
Miss Clara Marie Jnegor then ren-
dered Mendelssolin’s lovely Cradle
Song and Schumann‘s "Ich kann'a
nicht fassen nlcht glauben." Her
voice was so (It'll! and natural and
her charm of manner attractive and
unassuming sweetness that her beauti-
fully rendered songs were received
with, the lieartlest applause.
After Harold Elsenman's skillful
performance of Czlbulka‘s Elegy on
the violinoello. Miss Dorothy Craw-
ford Hoops read a cleverly written as-
say on “The Witchcraft, of the Nine-
teenth Century. "
In a. humorous way she represented
Cotton Mather fat pad for a visit to
earth. nndh} ”with! horror at the
marvels wrought by our modern wIz~
ards with the aid of electricity during
the nineteenth and the present twen-
tieth centuries. All present were de-
lighted with her originality and wit
Miss Myrtle Toele's essay. “Our in-
heritance," was an interesting and
scholarly review of all»tlist has come.
down to us through the centuries as
our heritage, in science and art, in
mechanical progress. In agricultural
development In wide stores of learn-
Ing and "ensure-houses of literary
lore, In the uplifting of nations and
individuals to noble standards and Joy
al citizenship. very much of which has
been accomplished through the spread—
ing, elevating influence of the Christ-
ian faith.
The valedictory address. which was
delivered at the close of her essa y. was
sweet and tender in sentiment; each
separate farewell was made tip of
well-chosen hentences which gave lit-
ting expression to the full and Inving
heart; and the good-bye addressed to
the principal was peculiarly touching
and appropriate.
The Rev. Dr. Armstrong. of Wil-
liamsport, Penn. .. gave an Inspiring ad-
dress on "The Self and the Social
Life," paying a graceful tribute to the
graduates by his reference to the
lines of argument carried out in
their essays, weaving them Into
his own ideas and making a
symmetrical whole. Dr. Arni-
r strong urged the necessity of ss|f~
culture; he dwelt; on the ever-widening
influence of womanhoo . and of the
beautiful inheritance has placed
" In the keeping of all women closing
with an earnest. sympathetic exhorte-
tlon to the graduating class which
hould prove an inspiration for their
uture.
Twice during the second part of the
progr Mrs. Lillian Sherwood New-
kirk fa. red the audience with vocal
selections. Mrs. Newkirk is extremely
popular at the school. and the mines
tlc breadth and fullness of her tones
were especially noticed In that noble
composition "Till I wake!" The flex-
ible quality of her voice was shown
to great advantage In “A May Morn-
Ing." where the high note at the close
was taken so sweetly and clearly.
Miss Newkirk's accompanist. Miss
Vera Imogene Atherton, ably support
ed her. Miss Atherton has had much
experience both' here and In Boston
in the difficult art of accompanying
and is both skilful and sympathetic.
The closing address and the pre—'
sentation of diplomas were made by
the Rev. Charles M. Sellec rector
-emeritus of St. .Paul’s Charo . Nor-
walk. Mr. Selle‘olf has become greatly
endeared to the pupils of M. 13.1..

few words of alcoholism counsel, fol
lowing which each member of the
class of '08 received her diploma. and
the quiet words of blessing closed
the exercises of- the evening.
The graduam then returned to the
Senior rooms. now transformed into
a bower of beauty by the profusio of

9:50 o'clock George Hewett. of Nor-
wulk, came, to him and said there was
a man up In the river, who acted as
though he was drowning.
Officers Motherland and Silk went
up to the rear of the New York Groc-
ery store. and saw that the man was
across the river. and going around to
the other side, Gounoud was found all-
ting down In shallow water Officer
Leathcrland stated that there was a
ten foot wall at this point. and he
must have fallen that distance. When
the man was found his clothing was
nearly all off from him.

know. but it seemed to him that he
was'on the sidewalk, and lust walked

He stated that he had been at the
shore, and thought he got on the car
for. Stamford, but the next he knew
he was in Norwalk. He said he had

There is every possibility that Nor-

This factory Is located close to the

that it has not been occupied long

West Norwalk lies the Worst
,Conflsprstlon ‘In Its History.
and Loses Its Principal In-
dusky—Properly Owned by
Railroad Company '
West Norwuik had the worst con-
fiagiiition In Its history this morning
about 1 o'clock, when Marcus C. Hlte'a
big three story fur factory was discov-
ered to ho III flames and completely
out of control.
This wooden building burned like a
tinderbox. and the fire brigade of
neighbors who assembled could not
little else than try to save the home
of a Hungarian workman near the fac-
tory. The roof of the little house took
fire, but the valiant work of the tire
fighters told. and this building was
saved.
imss fortunate, hoWercr, was an Ice
house close to the fin factory. This
was burned, leaving a big star k of Ice
bare
The former residence of Mr. llite Is
located on the same property, though
a considerable distance away. and cs-
cuped the relentless flames. Mr. lllte's
loss will amount to several thousand
dollars, though juflt IIoIII much has not.
yet been determined. Insurance was
carried. though not very large, owing
lo the remoteness of the place from
fire protection.-
Tlic properly Is located near the
New Canaan line, and was sold to the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
ltallrnud (‘oiupany last year by Mr.
Hite. though he continued his business
III the factory, where he prepared fur
for hate.
The factory was heavily stocked
with raw material, and this. together
with the machinery. Is a total loss.
The place place In today but a smok-
lug ruin. Seldom does a fire lick up
a place so completely.
After the fire was discovered, a tel-
options message was sent from Iht' resi-
dence of Edgar T. Rates to Mr. Iiitu‘n
present residence in Elisabeth street.
and he hurried out. to West Norwalk
to view the damage.
Mr._llite was out to the factory
yesterday and when he returned home
yesterday afternoon there was eveiy
Inditation that everything was the
sumo as usual. .Tlic machinery Is run
by water power, and how the place
caught fire in a mystery.
The railroad company purchased the
property from Mr. lilte, because of
the water rights, the pond and stream
being used to feed the Chasnier pond
In Roway,tou from which the locomo—
tives are fed with water at IIIC’J‘OUKOS
between Rowsytou dud Iii-rte
This afternoon Mr lllie placed the
loss at appmxliuatoly 322.000 on his
stock and machinery, and he believed
It would cost teens or 87.000 to re~
piece the burned factory building. In
addition to Its three full stories there
was ii largo iilllfl‘l'nt'lli. A shod nearby
was consumed, but. u mirrlage which
Mr. lllte usually keeps there did not
happen to be more during the fire.
Mr. lllte Is completely at a loss to
know how Iliu'iiru started. but as near
us he could usri'rlaln It had its incep-
tiou directly over the water wheel. lie
thought that possibly a hot box In the
wheel was responsible.
