where at that time stood the house of
Captain (afterwards Colonel) Jonathan
Wadsworth, who entertained General
Washington on his visit there.
Jenathan F. Morris will deliver the
address. After the unveiling exercises,

The Yale—Harvard Regatta.
A dispatch from New London says
their splendid harbor is rapidly filling
up with yachts whose owners and guests
will be present at the greatest boating
regatta of America—the Yale-Harvard
eight-cared race.
Nearly two hundred yachts have ar-
rived already and the blue of Yale and
crimson of Harvard is flying from the
rigging of almost every one of them.
‘ The entire fleet of Harvard yachts has
arrived and they are ready for the
Yale-Harvard regatta. The wind has
been adverse for Yale yachtsmev, but
they are slowly running in and all will
be on hand for the race tO-morrow.
The, Courant expresses the hope that
despite the breathless eagerness with
which a wide continent awaits the issue
of the race, there may still «be enough
alumm left at New Haven to give com-
mencement day recognition.

The Solid Way to Boomja Town.
A Western contemporary calls atten-x
tion to the city of Cleveland and the
city of Washington as exceptionally
fortunate in that they have been beau-
tified and enriched by “municipal atten-
tion to planting shade trees and strips
of lawn on the borders of the streets.
’ This,” we are assured, “is the solid
way to boom a town. By public spirit
and intelligence inbeautifying their
streets Cleveland and Washington have
added many millions to their tax valua-r
tion and thousands to their population.”
It appears that under authority granted
by the Ohio Legislature, Euclid ave-
nue in Cleveland, a magnificent thor-
oughfare, is to be extended into the
suburbs. “It will be 100 feet wide,
with car tracks in the center. The
tracks will be separated from the drive-
ways on each side by broad grass plats
planted with trees. Then coma the
carriage roads twenty feet wide, with
hitching posts at convenient intervals;
Between each carriage road and the
sidewalk a bicycle path three feet wide
will be provided.”
The suggestion that the "solid way
to boom a town” is'to beautify it,'tc
_make it attractive, is justified by the
experience of every town and city
throughout the country. Of Washing-
ton, the Capital City, it is truly Said
that it is not alone in its hundreds of
“miles of shaded streets, its innumer-,
able parks and reservations, its fasci-
nating display of the results of land-
scape gardening, and its flower-decked
squares, circles and diamonds, that the
city has been intelligently commended
to those who desire t6 live amid pleas-
., ant Surroundings. No other city in
the last twenty-five years, has expend-
ed so much money asWashington in
the erection of school buildings and
the maintenance of a superb system of
free publicinstruction. New churches
,too by the score, and various edge“-
' tional establishments of the, collegiate
and university grades have invited pop.
ulation from the whole world. Popula-
tion grows and wealth increases when.
ever any community shows public spirit
in good roads. side-walks, shade trees,
well kept parks, abundant water and
unselfish friendliness and cordial we]-
come to new comers. , ' ‘
And yet Washington has not Nor.

. 'EDITOB or GAznT'mzuln your week-
‘ 1y of the 22d inst, in report of trials
of Mrs. Halliday, you allude to District,
‘Attorney Hill and give his_photograph.
In or about 1770 Deacon Hill, of'Green-
field Hill, lived and had sons‘ David,
Eben, Joseph, Dimon, William and
Jabez, and I don’t know ,how many
more. David studied directly under
Dr. Timothy Dwight, who was the set-
tled minister on Greenfield Hill In 1787,
and continued there until 1795, when
made President of Yale._ Dav1d Hill
went as minister on a m1ss10nary tour
among the Mohawk Indians, back of
Albany. This he told me In the early
part of this century. He married my
father’s only sister, was in our state
legislature nineteen years, most of the
time as Senator. He gave up pr‘each—
ing about 1812. For a number of years
he was Judge of Probate, and nearly
half a century selectman of the town
of Fairfield. His brother Joseph mar-
ried Sarah Banks, a daughter of Hez-
ckiah Banks and oldest of three sisters
and four brothers, my mother being
the second sister. They were the lineal
descendants of John Banks who came
to this country some time before 1640
and settled in Wet-hersficld. In 1651
he, John Banks, came to Fa1rfield
(Greens Farms) and settled. In 1665
he was one of five on a committee to
attach Greens Farms to Fairficld. The
doings all being recorded in Hartford.
His will made in 1684 mentions his sons
John, Samuel, Obadiah and Benjamin.
This last, Benjamin, was the father of
Hezekiah Banks ,andlgrandfather of J o-
seph Hill’s wife and great-grandfather
of the District Attorney of Sullivan
county, N. Y., and a resident of Monte
cello. One grandfather, Hezkiah, mar-
ried a daughter of Elizabeth Jessup
Couch, great-grandmother of your hon-
D. N. Couch.

Another Cobble Hill Row.
The notorious James Ellis visited
police headquarters Tuesday afternoon
and told Chief Bradley that he had
been assaulted by a woman at or near
Cobble Hill. James was somewhat un-
der the influence Of liquor, but he had
an ugly wound on his head as testimony
that he had been hit with some hard
substance. The woman in question Is
,a daughter of Roger McGinnis, and
she has been twice married, first to a
man named Duffy Who is dead, and
again to a man named McCarthy who
does not abide with her. Ellis says the
assault, which he claims was unpro-
voked, was committed with a stone.
Mrs. McCarthy was arrested and taken
before Justice Austin who adjourned
the case until next Thursday morning.
It is believed that the trial will develop
some lively testimony.

It is said that Clinton Seeley, the
speedy Norwalk bicyclist, will shortly
endeavor to arrange a road race in
Stamford. The course will be through
the principal streets of the city, where
everyone will have an opportunity to
obtain a glimpse of the flyers. A num-

that Daniel Whitlock, of Newark N. J .,

Death of William L. James.
William L. James died very sudden-
ly at his home in Broad River, Tuesday

tic fit from which be revived, but in
about ten minutes sank back dead.
The deceased was perhaps as well
known as any man in town. He had
served as selectman and gave excellent
satisfaction. He was a strong demo-
crat and a hard worker for the success
of that party. He was a tanrocfer by
occupation and had completed several

Alarm inLPugilistic Circles.
Much alarm is being felt in Stamford
byzthose who attended the prize-fight
between Pigeon and Vernon at Port
Jefferson last Saturday morning. The
authorlties of that place are becoming
more indignant than ever and do not
propose to let the affair drop where it
is, or to allow the perpetrators to .go

"n PHANKS PLAYED BY SPIRITS.
Slade Gives a Midnight Exhibition of 1115
Power Over the Invisible.
“Once, ” said the real estate man,
“before I fell'from grace, I was a re-
porter on a. paper down in the central
part of the state. There were a good
many spiritualists in the city whereI
worked, and I got rather interested in
the belief myself. I had been to numer-
ous seances and seen some things that
puzzled me, and I hailed the coming of
Slade, the great slate writer, with joy.
I thought that he could, if he chose,
clear up a. lot of foggy points for' me
and either make me a full fledged be-
liever or show me that the whole thing
was a '
“81 my” town, and I get well
acquainted-:3}!!! him. He gave a num-
ber of seahccs, and I attended all of
them. One night I went to the hotel
where he was staying and had a. long
talk with him. I didn’t get much satis-
faction, I am free to confess. Just as I
was about to. start for home a very
heavy snowstorm came up, and Slade
kindly invited me to share his room.
We went to bed abodt 12 o’clock. ‘
“I confess that I was a. trifle scary. I
thought that a man who had the con-
trol over the spirits that Slade seemed
to possess might have supernatural’vis-
itors at night, and I didn’t exactly
relish the programme. However, it was
very stormy outside, and I concluded
that I would rather take the chances of
a visitation from a few spirits, more or
less, than walk a mile through a bliz-
zard. Slade kept talking cheerfully
about all sorts of things until we were
undressed and in bed and the lights had
been put out. Then he relapsed into
silence. I turned over on my side and
tried to get to sleep. The room was
quiet as the grave. Suddenly I heard
something strike bang against the wall,
and I sat straight up in bed. One of
my shoes had left its place on the floor
and had been thrown with terrific force
against the wall. , -
“This was the beginning of a series
of remarkable happenings _ that lasted
three hours. Every article in the room
was thrown around promiscuously. The
furniture was banged against the ceil-
