Thomas are confined to their home by the pre- vailing epidemic. That in this age beware of hypnotic rule. Keep your eyes open, your mind awake and your intellect alert. Be not subjugated by a pair of magnetic eyes or conquered by a determined will, for the announcement is made by a well known physician that women are the easiest subjects for hypnotism, espec- ially little women with black eyes and abundant black hair are more favorable subjects than pale lymphatic ones. Ner- vous women are seldom brought under the hypnotism influence, delicate lan- guishing women, especially those with some chronic maladies, submit instant- ly to the mysterious influence of this weird art. That the architect of a graceful gown could never be the author of a clever book, the power to achieve one annul- ling the capacity for accomplishing the other. Fashionable clothes anda sense of fitness are fatal to true mental vitali- ty. Nearly every gifted literary woman is inordinately fond of fine clothes,such strange shades, materials and patterns as they combine, clumsy bonnets and fashions the most unflattering. Their shoes are earnest, hats and coifi'nres humorous, cOlors vivid and costumes pathetically unbecoming. _ The Right Splrlt. Let us make Memorial Day what its name implies. Let us join with the few remaining of that Grand Army of he- roes who marched and fought and bled and died, in doing reverent honor to them. And while we are remembering the dead let us not forget the living, whose bent forms and .gray hairs de- note sopainfully and impressively the march of time. We cannot. strew the graves with flowers. That is a. precious duty of the comrades of the dead and can be trust- ed to no hands but theirs. But we can by our presence and sympathy show them that we appreciate the mournful service and ive them to know that when remorse ess death has taken ithe last of them from among us, we their descendants will still keep up the cus- tom and see that their graves are cover- ed with blossoms as they cover the graves of those who are now dead. _In' the bustle and hurry of everyday life we are apt to forget men who carried muskets ihrough the war. We can af- ford to give one dayinthe ear to them and their dead.—[Ansonia entinel. Mrs. James A. Hoyt’e Funeral.. Mrs. James A. Hoyt’s funeralyester- day, was largely attended? by many notable people from abroad, as well as own best citizens. There was. afer- vent and comforting prayer at the house by Rev. Dr. Noble, when Under- taker Jennings conveyed the body to Grace church, where the Rector con- ducted the service, as he did at River- side. , .Mrs. Dr. Newkirk and sister, with tw0 male voices rendered several appropriate pieces and concluded the service with “Nearer my Godto Thee.” The Congregational church bell was tolled at the request of Miss Julia Lockwood, during the moving of the cortege. Mr. Charles Brown, President of the Stamford National Bank and his sister Elizabeth, Mrs. LeGrand Lockwood Jr., and Mrs. Cockran, of Stamford, were present, as were Rev. Father Brown and wife, Miss Mary Hoyt, Al- fred Hoyt Jr., Mrs. William St. John Sr. and Jr., Mr. William and John Scott, Mrs. Dr. Otis, Mrs. Reuben Hoyt and Jesse Hoyt,- Jr., Mrs. Wel- ler, Snediker and others from New York. The floral tributes were of a chaste, yet exquisitly beautiful and appropri- ate character. The employed pall-bearers were Chiefs DeForest and Lockwood, Charles Gee hebe and Fred. E. Lockwood. The sudden shower that came up and so darkening the heavens, seemed to add to the deep solemnity Of the funer- al over this noble and saintly woman. .___--..«*..__.__.___ Cat—aplasm. As Everet C. Wigham dashed out of the Boston Store to go to the residence of Selectman Daskam and measure for a carpet, his quick eye caught what he thought to be a bull dog, blockading the door. Now if there is anything that Everet has a horror of it is bull dogs. He can endure pugs and poodles, col- lies, pointers and setters, but “ bulls” are his terror. He would no more ac- cept Mr. Asa Smith’s new office thanhe would attempt to run the steam roller. He would go and drown himself first, as much as he dreads bathing in cold weather. But for him to see, .or think he saw a bull dog, was to act, not with moderation and dignity but with the precipitancy of fright, and so he dash- ed, without another thought, through the store window, and landed on the walk, outside the store and the dog! He took some of the window decora- tions with him, not that he wanted them, but his whole soul was lost in the one idea of escaping that “ bull-purp.” He succeeded beyond his most san- guine expectations, and turning to see what his fellow clerks were in throes of laughter about, discovered that the ob- ject of his sudden fright wasn’t a dog at all, but an extra large “Office cat,” kept at the Boston Store for the diver- sion of children and to help keep down the mice and prices. Everet was made all right by the application of a small poultice to his bruises. First Baptist Church. In accord with Baptist usage, a coun— cil of the Fairfield county Baptist churches was held with the First Bap- tist churchMonday afternoon for the purpose of examining Rev. F. E. Rob- bins, the pastor-elect of that church, as to his qualifications for the office of Minister. Rev. Dr. Hubbard of Dan- bury was chosen Moderator and Rev. J. W. Richardson of Stamford, Clerk. Mr. Robbins’ views upon Christian doctrine and Church policy proving entirely satisfactory to the Council, he was unanimously recommended. to the Wednesday evening, June 3d, was ap- pointed as the time. At this ceremony, which is one marked by beautyand im- pressiveness, the Rev. J. W. Richard- son, of Stamford, will preach the ser- mon ; Rev. W. P. Elsdon Of Waterbury, give the charge to the candidate; Rev. A. Wheaton, of South Norwalk, the hand of fellowship; Dr. Hubbard, of Danbury, the charge to the church; Rev. Robert McGonegal, D. D., of this town, the ordaining prayer. The out- look at this church is very promising; the Society is united, the membership increasing, several candidates are awaiting baptism, and a progressive spirit of active, helpful, practical Christianity pervades the church. -— coo—- EAST NORWALK.
