The startled _ Hartford Times, says
that “ up to 12:30 Saturday, the list of
aspirants to the Republican Congres-
sional nomination in the Fourth Dis-
trict was as follOws: ex-State Senator
Hill of NOrwalk, ex-GovernOr Louns—
bury of Ridgefleld, ex - Postmaster
KnoWlton Of Bridgeport, ex-Speaker
Perry Of Fairfield, ex-Secretary of
State Walsh of Greenwich, Judge
Brewster of Danbury, ex-Senator Sec--
field of Stamford, Lawyer Henry San-
ford of New Milford ‘ and many
others.’ ”
In another paragraph the Times be-
trays its fears that Sam. Fessenden is
holding back Commodore Smith for a
“ dark horse,” to sweep the district.

-Whitelaw Reid, whose health is in a
delicate condition, will spend the com-
ing winter in Egypt. His father-in-
law, Mr. D. 0. Mills, started Saturday
for San Francisco, whence in a week
or two he will sail on a voyage around
the world, stopping first at the Sand—
wich Islands, going thence to Japan,
China and India, and reaching Egypt
in January. Therehe will be joined
by Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who
are to sail for Gibraltar in November,
and after a few weeks in the scuth of
Spain and on the north coast of Africa
are to make their way to Cairo. The
united party has chartered a steamer
for the Nile, and will go up to the sec-
ond cataract. On their return they
are to take camels, and, with an Arab
escort, cross the desert to Mount Sinai,
entering Palestine at the junction of
the Jordan With the Dead Sea, and'
after a month’s stay, going out by the
way of the Sea of Galilee and Damas-
cus. They will probably reach Paris
and London by May, and be back in
New York by next June. . ‘

new goods. The war is being conduct!
ed so near :to the tea-growing territory
that future importationsane uncertain.
Wholesale prices of the cheaper teas
have already advanced 100 per cent.
and the retailer will soon be aware of
difference in cost. There is nothing
for our home drinkers to do but drink
higher-grade teas and pay a big price
for them, or accustom themselves to
the teas of India. Of late teas from
Ceylon and India have been crowding
the Chinese article out of the market,
the increase of Ceylon t'ea brought here
being over 300 per cent. in a year, which
was one of the results of the World’s
Fair. A great many dealers aflirm that
the Ceylon variety is far better than
the Chinese, and brings a higher price.

The New Haven Leader has the fol-
lowing: “The next democratic candi-
date for Governor will be E. C. Bene-
dict, the millionaire broker of Wall
street. The nominee for Lieutenant-
Governor is likely to be Gen. E. E.
Bradley. This is the present demo-
cratic program, and the democratic
leaders are full of confidence that the
democratic candidates will be elected,
and they believe further that there is an
excellent chance to- elect a democratic
majority in each branch of the General
Assembly. Why are they confident,
do you ask? Because they have reason
to believe that Banker Benedict will
I contribute as much as $100,000, and”
even more if it is needed to carry on
the campaign with all the power that
mOney can exercise. ' They believe that
by nominating Gen. Bradley for Lieu-
tenant-Governor, they can get ’enough
votes in New Haven alone to overcome
any gains the republicans may make in
other towns, and elect the democratic
candidates. ”
The New Haven Register on the
other hand Opposes the nomination of
Commodore Benedict on the ground
that it would give the appearance of
desiring his money'rather than the man.
We happen to know Mr. Benedict to be-
a sagacious and strictly business man,
and if the democrats seek him only for
the pelf he could putinto the campaign
they might get as badly disappointed
as did their republican friends on a
similar occasion, who found their mil-
mionaire candidate willing to aid in
the matter of .legitimate election ex-
penses, but had “not a single dollar
for tribute” to the heelers and squeal-
ers and strikers of the party. Mr.
Benedicth if the nominee of his party
fer Governor, will be , very likely - to
‘follow the example cf'the greater Mr.
_ Tilden and make his political disburs-

general to break up the drought entire-
ly, but it is likely soon to be followed
by more widespread showers. ~
Had the rainfalls of the last three Or
four days occurred a month ago, ‘;or_
even a fortnight ago, they would have
greatly improved the crops. But, com-
ing so late in the season, it is as yet
hard to tell how much they will help
the farmer. '
The drought has been one of the
most extensive and disastrous of recent
years. It was not a great storm, but it
was far-reaching ; and, what was better
than all, the rainfall wasof that quality
which soaks deeply into the ground
and carries with it renewed life to dry.

It is now more than two months since
this remarkable drought began, and
for that period the country, or at least
the northern half of it, from ocean to
ocean, has been practically unwatered.
There have been showers now and then,
but they have been few and wholly in-
sufficient, and the central and western
portions of the north, with their great
grain fields and forests, have had scarce-
ly a drOp of water all this time.
The rainfall here, grateful as it war,
has done very little toward replenish-

O.
A Dellghtful Soaklng.
Saturday was a delightful day for
umbrellas and mackintoshes. It began
raining early in the morning, and there
were fitful showers up to noon, after
which time the rain increased in force,
and there was almost a steady down-
pour all the afternoon. But it was wel-
come. The ground was parched and
dry, and it swallowed the drops as
rapidly as they fell, and cried for- more.
*An occasional flash of lightning was
seen, followed by the usual thunder,
but both seemed to be afar Off. In the
evening, or between 7 and 8 o’clock,
the rain came down in torrents, and
the lightningflashes were vivid and
frequent, .and the thunder loud and
prolonged.
There Was not a murmur from any
one, so welcome was the rain. Even
the business men, who depend so much
'on their Saturdays’ trade, welcomed it,
and were heard to expressthc hope
that it would continue for several days.
But it cleared off by morning, and Sun-
day was a hot, sultry day.
In the shower Saturday evening, the
lightning played pranks with telephone,
telegraph, fire alarm, and electric road
wires, and in a few instances struck
houses or trees hereabouts, but the
damage done beyond frightening-a few
was not to be compared with the great
good that has resulted from the copious
showers that accompanied the electric
fluid.
Lightning struck a tree in front of
the house occupied by Capt. Solomon
Peck, on Main street, and his daughter
ran along a wire to A. A. Avison’s store
nearly opposite where it burst an elec-
tric light globe, burned out the meter
and tore an iron letter box from the
door. Gehurdus Daniels who was in
the store received a severe shock.
One bolt seemed to charge all the
wires 'on Wall street, causing the, fire
bell to ring and stopping the cars on
the Street Railway, put out the lights
in the cars as well as the incandescent
lights in the stores on Wall street.
David Workman, who was near the
lwell at his home on Belden avenue, re-
ceived a shock, but experienced no ill
results. -
Colored Odd Fellows.
The G. U. 0. 0. Fa meeting in
Ansonia closed with a dance of which
the Ansonia Sentinel has the following
account: “The dance at the opera house
was fairly attended. The orchestra of
ten pieces was led by. Prof. Smith, and
their playing was a surprise to many
who heard them, as but few orchestras
have been heard that is superior in
dancing music The grand march took
place at 9:40, about fifty couples par.
ticipating. It was an all night ball,
the orchestra playing until 4 a..m. Two
or three parties tried to create a row
during the evening but they were
promptly put out. The first was a
colored man who wished for a row with
theticket seller, and he was fired so
quickly by the man on the door, who
by the way, was an ex-pugilist, thht he'
rolled over and. over down the first
flight of stairs to the sidewalk. Then
a colored woman became jealous of a
white woman who was dancing with
her husband, and they adjourned to the
hallway and fought it out with their
tongues. Then when a white fellow
tried to run things to suit him-
self the door keeper bounced him and
he slid down the stairs to the, first
landing as though they were covered
With me. When he picked himself up
the fight had all been shaken out of him.

Including the band fifty-two Knight
Templars and members of St. Johns
Lodge, 'F. & A. M., went to Washington
on an early train Saturday morning to
takepart in the centennial celebration
of Rising Sun Lodge of that town. It
was a stormy’ day but they received a
royal reception. After the exercises,
which were of an interesting character,
a number of the Knights Templar vis-
ited the grave of the first commander
G. M. General Brinsmade and
strewed it with flowers. Owing to the
rain there was no parade and the local
delegation left for home on the 3:29
tram, reaching home late in the after-
noon, loud in their praise of the hospi-

restores the confidenceof the public in
the hardy crustacean. of our coast.
Strange is popular prejudice, so strong
as to banish from many _ tables the
choicest sea food at its prime. Many a
man avoids not only the oyster in sum-
mer, but he puts the ban upon'harmless
crabs and lobsters at this season of per-
fection. Residents of this city how-
ever, are not, with possibly a .fcw 'ex--
ceptions, of this class, andanticipating
the departure of the crabs upon the
approach . of cold weather to bury
themselves in the mud beyond the
shoals until warm weather draWs them'
frOm shelter again, organize parties of
ladies and gentlemen as crabbing
parties, and their daily catches run up
in. the hundreds. A favarite way With
the ladies for catching them is to tie a
piece of raw meat or a tough clam to _a
line and dropping it in the water “wait
for a bite,” when they carefully pull
,up the line and as the crab comes in
sight hanging to the bait, deftly put a
hand-net under him and land himin
the boat. At present the favorite
“hunting ground”for them is at Compo,
near Saugatuck. .
Upon the crabbing grounds at Cres-
field, Md, the fisher does not wait for
the crab to quit their shelter but sails
out to the right spot, and sets his trol-
lines with tripe for‘ the hard shells, and
his not dredge for shedders. Of course
many hard shells come up in the dredge
nets of the. soft crab fishers ; these are
lighter than the oyster dredges and nre
finished with a netted pocket, which
drags along-the bottom and brings up
all sorts ; the soft crabs are picked out
by hand, the legs folded close to the
body, and the crabs packed obliquely
in trays containing layers of . sea grass
and chopped ice, with the heads to the
top of the crates, so that the moisture
cannot run from their mouths.
Soft shell crabs shed their shells as
often as they out grow them, the large
year. When in the take of crabs any
are found with the shells just cracking,
they are put into “the pound,” a large
box kept under water, until they have
“moulted,” when they are shipped to
market at once, because the shell hard-
ens rapidly.
Hard crabs, showing the signs of
“moulting,” well known to the fisher-
men, are always kept in the pound or
float until they are prime for market;
they are called “comers” at Crisfleld,
which place sends over 5,000,000 crabs
to market yearly. In warm ,weathe'r
the “buster,” or moulting crab, comes
into shallow water, where he can hide
in- the long grass, for he knows that the
first hard shell he encounters will try
to devour him; he has “been there
many a time” himself. Until the at?
tain full growth crabs moult a out
every five months 'at flood tide. ‘The
best time for crabbing is just after day-
break, but the crabs can be found all
day long if the grass inshore is hunted,
in the shallows. The inlets in Norwalk
harbor and at Saugatuck, are fine crab-
bing grounds, especially is this true of
the latter place. . , - . ~ '
There are in the waters about Nor-
walk, hard shells, soft crabs—the weak-
lings Of the marine flocks—fiddlers,
king crabs and baby oyster crabs.
There is a good word to be said about
all of them. " Specialmention' may-be
made of the oyster crabs, which are
delicious when boiled for a minute in a
cream sauce slightly thickened with
flour and seasoned with salt and my
enne; ~mark this, and make friends
with some busy “oyster-shucker.” Re-
member, too, if a king Crab or horse-
shoe should be cast at your feet, “all
alive-oh,” that somewhere in the depths
of his horny shell lurks a mouthful or
two of savory flesh, and that fiddlers
carry an atom‘ of sweetness in their
sole big claw.
The horse-shoe, or king crab, is that
queer, roundish, shell, with a long,
sharp spine at thesmall end, and a sort
of hinge about a third above it. It is
.a most uninviting-looking creature, and
the spiny end is a prOper thing to avoid
when tramping the seashore barefoot.
The possibility of this product may be
calculated, when we remember that the
king crab fishers Of Delaware bay aver-
age an annual catch of 2,000,000. Dur-
ing May and Jone they are gathered at
ebb tide, shoveled into carts and taken
to~pensniade of fence rails, prepara-
t'bry to being converted into fertilizer.
The eggs are sometimes salted down as
sturgeon roe is, for caviare. This prep-
aration is said by experts to equal that
made from sturgeon roe.
What description can do justice to the
soft shell ? they must-be eaten to be
appreciated; but then—oh horrors !—
they must be killed, like lobsters, before
they can be eaten. It requires the
nerve of an. ichthyophagus or a “down
South cullud pusson” to make that nec-
essary circular cut around behind the
eyes, to pluck, forth the. soft fins, to
plunge them into melted butter, or egg
and cracker dust, and then into smok-
ing hot fat. They scramble sometimes
-—ugh!—but then they are so good!
Above all are they excellent when in-
closcd between the wires of a double
gridiron, dripping from their buttery
bath, and broiled over a hot fire.
Hard shell crabs when just caught
are very lively and if taken hOme ali ve
they best be bestowed in a covered wash
tub, ’otherwise they might be quite
sportive. _To boil them plunge them
head first into plenty of boiling water,
and as soon as the shells turn red take
them up; then they are ready to serve
not, With sweet butter and lomon juice.
Large napkins should be provided for.
the handling of the hot shells; the soft
fins under the legs are discarded, and
the_fiap or'apron on the undershell,
which retains the eggs in spawning.
The eggs are edible and also the coral
and the yellow and green fat.

harm done. This cannot occur in a
hospital. If the order is “no one must

the best attraction of the kind on the'
road this season. It fairly bursts Open
with new features, new ideas, new cos-
tumes and scenery, new ballets, pretty
girls and good comedians, not forget-

To enumerate all the clever people in
the cast would take too much space at

markably handsome costumes. Much
of the play is in “McGinty land,” other-
wise the bottom of the sea. The group-
ings and marching of the company in
the ensembles make beautiful stage pic-
tures. The pantomimists are also ex-
cellent. In fact, as a spectacular bur-
lesque this production takes a very
high rank.
