here with the unanimous approval of
the press in the cities wherein it has
been presented. It is said to contain
all the elements of popularity, and its
aim is to suit the tastes Of all. One of
the special features Offered is the model
scene from the “Clemenceau Case.”

been aroused in it.

ously with Mr. Lees, of Westport, Mr.
Reed of the Stamford National Bank,
and Dr. A. H. Baldwin of this place.
This triangular contest of science and
skill was Of exceptional interest, and
resulted as follows: Mr. Eccles defeat-
ed Mr. Reed, but was defeated by Mr.
Lees, and the game with Dr. Baldwin
resulted in a draw. It is understood
that Mr. Eccles will be at the rooms of
the Norwalk club again this evening,
which will insure a large attendance.

EASIER-TIDE.

How lt Was Observed Yesterday in
the Norwalk Churches.

THE AIR LADEN WITH THE
SWEET PERFUME OF THE
LILY AND THE ROSE.

Exceptionally Excellent Musical
Programmes. Delightful Easter
Weather and Large Congre—
gations.

Yesterday, Easter Sunday, was cel-
ebrated in all our churches with unusu-
al ceremony and we doubt if ever
before there has been so large an at-
tendance at all of Norwalk’s churches.
While this religious festival is alWays
observed in most churches, yesterday’s
services seem to have exceeded in solos,
chants and choruses and in floral deco-
rations, anything ever so generally at,
tempted here before.

Through all the ages since the Christ-
ian era, wherever the story of the cru-
cified and risen Redeemer is known
throughout the world, Easter stirs the
religious heart of Christendom more
widely and tenderly than any other re-
ligious festival. Religious denomina-
tions that once held aloof from its spec-
ial observance as superstitious mum.
meries, now join in celebrating the fes-
tival of the Resurrection. Even more
significant is the place of reverent hon-
or given to Easter Sunday by poets,
artists and the public press. Every
year Easter flowers are more plentiful,
Easter songs more nearly universal,
Easter sermons more often the rule and
more seldom the exception, all show-
ing an increasing catholicity and libel-4
ality of Christian sentiment and a grow-
ing disposition to make public worship
gladsome.

AT THE METHODIST,
Dr. Van Alstyne delivered an able and
impressive discourse suited to the occa-
sion. His pulpit and the chancel were
bedecked with flowers and exotic plants.
A conspicuous central piece was an
orange tree in full bud and bloom, the
seed of which was brought from Flori-
da some years since and planted and
grown here. The musical features
were of unusual excellence and em-
braced the following selections:

AT THE FIRST BAPTIST, Rev. Frank

Robbins the new pastor, preached an
earnest discourse appropriate to the
occasion. The morning service was
opened by singing Gloria in Excelsis
by the quartette choir, then grand old
Antioch—“Joy to the World ” etc. The
altar was adornedwith palms and lilies.
“Christ is Risen,” and “All hail the
power of Jesus’ Name” were also ren-
dered by the choir. An Easter offering
was taken up to meet a church debt,
amounting in all to over $200. The
choir was composed of Dr. McGonegal,
M. Paddock, with his son at the organ,
Mrs. Miller and Miss Mead. In the
evening the exercises partook of a two-
fold character, being a Sunday-school
concert and the mission question box.
The little ones did the cause credit.
both in talent and spirit. The attend-
ance was, as in the morning, very large
and all retired thinking it one of the
most enjoyable of Easter Sabbaths.
The following is the programme as
rendered:

AT THE CONGREGATIORAL, the Easter
morning service was very largely at-
tended. ‘Dr. Noble preached, his
subject being “The Risen Christ, the
Hope of the World.” The church was
decorated with beautiful flowers, ’ ‘ whose
voiceless lips were also living preach-
ers.” In the evening an Easter Praise
Service was held, which was an occa-
sion of much interest, many children
of the Sunday-school taking part. The
carols sung by the choir and school
were unusually well rendered, while in

 

spoke to the children of ‘ the origin of

a most interesting address Dr. Noble-

 

Easter, and how it was observed. The
entire service was a beautiful one. with
the song of children and sweet flowers,
while the lesson taught by the glad
Easter time, that “The Lord is risen
indeed,”
heart with joy and thankfulness. Miss
Jennie Nash, organist, had the follow-
ing programme rendered at the morn-
ing service :

AT ST. PAIJI.’ s, Rector Selleck oflici»

ated in his finely impressive manner,
and spoke of the beginning of Easter-
time, nineteen centuries ago, when, at
the burial and the resurrection, there
was given to the world a great hope, so
that joy-tears have ever since followed
man to the grave. Mr. Selleck’s words
were eSpecially earnest. and his con-
gratulatory allusion to the incoming
of the rector-elect among his people
exceedingly appropriate and happy.
The musical programme was as follows:

AT ST. MARY’ s CHURCH

there was the customary large congre-
gation at Mass, or morning service,
while large numbers attended the Ves-
per services of the afternoon. Rev.
Father O’Brien read Mass, and an ex-
cellent sermon, appropriate to the day,
was preached by Rev. Father Slocum.
In the line of music the excellent work
wrought by Mr. Edward Brennan, the
efficient organist and choir leader, dur-
ing his two years in that dual capacity,
was made manifest, despite the fact
that some of the leading singers
were necessarily absent. The singing
throughout was of a high order, and
those who were in attendance at Mass
from other churches showed their ap-
preciation by the closest attention.
The music selected for the morning
service was as follows:

Gl’grli; fr om Mozal t's Twelfth Mass.
Credo Weber.

Sanctus Weber.

At the afternoon, 01 Vesper, service
the following selections from P. Giorza
were most expressively rendered by as
good a chorus choir as has been heard
in many a day: Domine, Dixit Domi-
nus. Laudate Dominum and Magnificat.
Then followed 0 Salutaris Hostia, by
J. Wiegand, (baritone solo,) and Tan-

WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:

That the Stamp Club will meet at
Master Fred. Raymond‘s, Friday even-
ing.

That the florists have had an unusu-
ally busy week. The Meteor rosc rates
next in beautyzto the Jacqueminot; it
has obtained prominence on account of
its superior lasting quality.

That the number of incendiary fires
that have occurred recently in East
Norwalk is extraordinary, and the fail-
ure of the police to discover the mis-
creant is also extraordinary.

That a little 'flutter of pleasant ex-
pectation pervades many of the man-
sions of our 400. A number of the rose
buds are in high favor because of the
marvelous gowns they will don- for
the first time at the Easter Ball.» There
is a delightful exhilaration as the hour
approaches. Everyone seems to Catch
the excitement. The girls h1ir1y,tl1ey
lounge, they chat with smiles and volu-
bility; they bear the impress of every
strain of character, but before the eyes
Of every mother’s daughter rises a vis-
ion of gold and pearls, shimmering silks
and laces that form the dainty creations
prepared for their lovely Easter Ball.

That a notion has got about in Pari-
sian society that Ward McAllister is
the author of four hundred books.
These people have evidently not read
the first of the fancied four hundred.

That the woman of the future will
have a level head. The woman of the
future is not going to snatch at ev ery-
thing that passes for a man because it
draws a salary.

That Mr. John Camp, of Hartford,
is at the old homestead on East Avenue
for a few days.

That olive branches appear to be the
popular Easter decoration at the Capi-
tol as well as here in Norwalk.

That Senator Seymour’s proposition
enables Connecticut people to see more
chance of harmonizing their differ-
ences.

That at the Catholic Church the mus-
ical services surpassed those of any pre-
vious Easter in artistic selection and
splendor of delivery.

That compared with former years
very little wine goes with fashionable
dinners.

That people who visit Florida resorts
become very tired Of condensed milk.

That the jeweled bonnet will be the
most elegant of all spring head gear.

That a number of women were re-
cently badly squeezed during a crush
at a church fair. That the church fair
squeeze is not a work of art, and during
a panic it must be very awkward. as
well as bewildering exercise.

That this is a spring of glitter, and a,
spring of gray. The brightness would
be blinding had it not for background
the soft moonlight radiance. The sil-
ver tones would be nun-like did not the
yellow metal set them shimmering.

That the demand for burning our
electric lights has become very gener-
111.

That the deceit and hypocrisy of the
“society women” of the day are simply
astonishing.

That the cruel and wicked fad of
docking horses has ceased to be a mark
of either good taste or fashion and now
brings down on such owners only
sneers and contempt, sometimes very
audibly expressed.

That the handwriting on the wall is
that divorced women have had their
day as social heroines.

' That Secretary Blaine should try his
hand'at arranging a reciprocity treaty
between New York and Connecticut.

That there are people who would not
go to church unless they could lide
there.

That at St. Paul’s church the floral
decorations were elaborate and the
musical services were finely rendered.

That there is considerable stir about
“red hats” among Catholic dignitaries
just now. But a walk down East and
West Avenues yesterday one would
meet the cleverest and gayest girls in
the world in their red, yellow, green,
pink, white, blue, brown and black
Easter hats.

That Mr. Fred Lockwood, Miss
Sophie Ayers and Miss Elizabeth Lock-
wood were in New York Saturday to
attend the matinee. ,

his illness.

Daily Gazette.

The Hartford Conference.

HARTFORD, March 30.—-—Shortly after
10.30 o’clock Saturday morning the peace
committee of the Connecticut. Senate
of 1891 gathered in the lieutenant-gov-
ernor’s room at the Capitol. Senators
Shumway and Clark, republicans, and
Pierce and Thayer, democrats, were on
hand. Senator Seymour was unavoida-
bly kept from the meeting and it was in
his place that the senator from Bristol,
who has led the democratic majority in
the long fight, appeared.

At 5 o’clock they had come to no
agreement except to meet again this
morning and talk it over some more.
The members had decided to {keep the
proceedings secret and they were 11n-
willing to predict the outcome.

The inference is generally drawn that
if these gentlemen can agree -.on any
measure, its passage by both houses
may be expected.

Death of} Rev. Dr. Crosby.
NEW YORK, March 30.——After an ill-

 

. ness of a little more than one week Dr.

Howard Crosby died at 5.30 o’clOck last
evening at his home, No. 116 East
Nineteenth street, from heart, failure
brought on by croupous pneumonia.
That he knew his end was at hand is
evidenced from the fact that an hour
before he died he requested the nurse
pen and
ink. Without assistance he raised him~
self on his left elbow and with difficulty
indited a few farewell lines to hisfam~
ily and the members of his congrega-
tion. Dr. Crosby’s death results from
a severe co-ld which be contracted a
week ago last Wednesday while at his
daughter’s death bed in Troy. ‘

Two \Vere Successful.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo., March 30.—-—There were
two successful suicides in this city on Sat-
urday and one attempt, the victim of
which may possibly recover. John Orch,
proprietor of the Cottage hotel, put a bul-
let through his head and died almost in- ’
Cause, domestic infelicitya A.
Schram. a barber, a resident of the city for
twenty years, also shot himself through
the head and was dead inten minutes. He
had been ill with dropsy. Presley Davis,
for a long time a street car driver, took an
ounce of luudan'um. The doctors got hold
of him soon after and pumped him out.
Being unable to get work on account of ill
health he attempted suicide.

Two Horrible Deaths.

NEW Bnoxswicx, N. J ., March 30,—Two
shocking deaths occurred in this county
Saturday. Howell Stenaker, forty-five, a
resident of Rahway, was crushed to death
between cogwheels at Cook’s flour mills at
Blackwell’s mills. \Vhile oiling the ma-
chinery his sleeve caught in the cogs, his
arm was drawn in and then his sleeves
and chest. The body had to be swept up,
so terribly was it mangled. Benjamin
lloaglund, a colored choir instrumentalist
in this city, while walking on the Penn-
sylvania railroad, was struck by a. fast ex—
press and horribly mangled. The body
was tossed thirty feet by the engine.

Assaulted and Murdered.

CAMDEN, N. J ., March 30. —An autopsy
was held on the body of Nellie Ryan, found
dead in Stockton township early Saturday
morning. The result was not made pub-
lic, but it is learned that the woman ’8
body and face were badly bruised, her jaw
b10ken and that she had been ci'iminally
assaulted. John Dailey, who was arrested
when it was learned that he had been seen
drinking w ith the woman, declares he left
her an hour previous to the time detectives J
claim to have seen her talking with a. ne«
gro, who Is also suspected of complicity 1n
the murder.

A Splendid Horse.

On Friday last, Mr. W. H. Lock-
wood, Norwalk’s noted horseman,
brought to this place what is conceded
to be one of the handsomest and best
bred horses that ever delighted the
eyes of admirers of “the noblest ani-

 

mal.” The horse in question is “Ship-
man,” 5076, is of Kentucky Prince
stock, and the sire of his dam was

Rysdyk’s Hambletonian. He is aband-
some bay, sixteen hands high and was
bred by Charles Backman, of the Stony
Ford farm, Orange County, New York,
has a record of 2:245 at FleetWood, and
it is believed can beat 2:20. At Mr.
Lockwood’s invitation many of our
citizens who are interested in first-class

The Boston Store.

The rush of custom for the past few
days at the Boston Store doesn’t neces-
sarily mean that spring has come, but
that the Boston Store has come to stay.
The sales on Saturday were the largest
of any day since the store opened.
There was a great sale of kid gloves,
and fresh lingerie for Easter, and it
looks as if Saturday’s Easter business
had run over, for it has been just the
same to-day. Table linen, in the most
beautiful designs, dress goods in new
and novel lines, ready-made children’s
clothing, and the most tasteful of milli-
nery departments, all have their devo-
tees, who think there is no placc equal
to the Boston Store for splendid bar-
gains.
