The first Sunday night cutertainnit iit
given at Music Hall, which was that of
Miss Anna Eva Fay,\\‘as a success in one
particular—it drew an immense audi~
ence. Miss Fay was very ingeniously
advertised, being proclaimed as the “in
describable phenomenon“ which had as-
tonished scientists and been patronized
by the nobility of Europe. It. was also
stated that illt‘:nll(llen(‘e would witness
marvellous manifestations _ of spirit
power in full gasliglit. and that indispu-
table evidence would be. given that the
dead do return. The mcdium was to
t1 iat in mid-air, and while in this posi-
tion many spirit forms would hover
around her. and \vould shake hands
with those in the audience and converse
with them.
The advertising was a success but the
performance was a fraud of the fraud

lecture was a long-winded introduction

who came on the stage in a dress with a

“beauty“ was of the scrawniest kind,

with his dignified step. ”is hat was"

The Catholic Fair at tlieLOpei-a House
was the l-irgi‘st attended and most tiiian-
J‘lttlly successful of anv ever given by
St. Mary‘s church. A number of arti~
cles were disposed of by chance, but the
principal interest was in the contest for
the gold watch to be presented to the
most popular man, which was between
Simon McNamara of t‘iis city and George
Law of the borough. The vote for the
leading contestants was as follows:
Geo. Low :3 682. S. McMamara 3.668. J.

proceeds of the fair were about $2.000.
In order to get the old S iyers house on

They were brought from Flushing. fl. 1.
about forty-five years ago by Samuel
Mills. who lived on the place with his
brother Stephen Mills, who was the bus-

Peck. Mayor Richards, who remembers
when the trees were set out. says they
were not more than two inches in diam~
eter. The one cut down measures three
feet across the butt, and the roots ex-

been very yapitl. '

The South Norwafk Dramatic Associa—
tion. who have been so successful in
llriiokside. have arranged to appear in
\\'cstport. llec. 1511i. when they will
give the temperance drama entitled “The
Last Loaf." to be followed with the farce
“Put liim Uiit." \\'e can assure \\‘est
porters that the association will ngt
them an evening‘s amusement that will
be highly satisfactory.
\\’e see it stated in the papers that the
\Voman‘s t‘hristian 'l‘emperance union
of this rt ite will petition the next 1egis«
lattire for temperance legislation. The
first thingr they ought to ask is for the
vote for women on “ license “ and iii
town cl. t’llullf'. That vote would go
further toward restricting the range of
the liquor lrallic than any new law the
legislature can p.iss.—1.itchtield Esquir-

The investigations of Secretary lline.
of the state board of education, into the
action of the law prohibiting the employ-
ment of children under fourteen years of
age discloscstlie fact that the chief of
the obstacles to the enforcement of the
law is found with the parents. Few
cases where actual hardship resulted
from the loss of a child‘s wages have
been reported. but many parents, appar-
ently regard their children as iiierelv
sources of income. Proprietors of stores
offer more opposition to theilaw than do
manufacturers. At first work was ham-

The borough has a small stretch of

fashion down by the pottery 8110 to the
propeller landing. thence to A. . Mee-

points not far remote. It is a piece of
road over which a large amount of busi-

owns. It.» is without equal as regards
