Echo Says Where? .

The available cash balance in the
Treasury on Monday was $175,500,000.
The Government, rehlized altogether
from its three bond issues $182,000,000.
Mr. Cleveland declared in his message
that not one dollar ofthe proceeds of these
issues had been Insed to pay the Govern-
ment’s running expenses. In view of
thisstatement it would be interesting to
know just where the Treasury would
have been today if there had been no

bond issues.

Mr. Re ed’s Embarrassments.

No one who has the slightest interest
in Congressional events will be dispos-
ed to withold from Mr. Reed his sym-
pathy in the overwhelming tribulations
of forming the House committees which
beset him a; Speaker. Nor will any
one have the cruelty to pass carping
criticism upon his action if he should
delay their announcement until the eye
of the holidays, and thenvanis‘n out of
town for a short period of rest and
recreation.

Mr. Reed is in an attitude somewhat
more embiiirussing than usually con-
fronts a Speaker. It-xis time out of
mind since a Speaker stepped into the
I chair without a shadow of opposition.
IVictorv may have come easily, but it
has seldom come without a jar of any,
kind Mr. Reed enjoys the doubtful

blessing of having seived his country-
men so well in the Fifty-first Congress
ti at now, of all times in his life, when
the field sesms so clear and broad for
him to attain the Presidential nomina-
tion. the compromising gavel falls into
his lap like an o’crripe plum. There
are no factions on his side of the House,
no partisans of rival'candidates defeat-
ed, none to sulk and step back. But,
on the contrary, every man'on the Be-
publican side voted for him, and every
one of them is his friend.

Are the members of the House all as
ready to give him a free hand in shap-
ing the committee assignments as they
were to place him in his present position?

00.

Senator vs- President.

When Mr. Cleveland hangs up his
game bag, and turns at last to the long-
neglect-ed dutiesat present pressing so
hard upon him, his nerves will get a
little jar as he peruses the speech made
by Senator Morgan on Monday. The
Senator, in his usualimpetuous fashion,
makes a charge against the President

. of having endeavored to deprive the

Senate of its constitutional powers. He
ttkes Mr. Cleveland severely to task
for the light and airy manner in which
he recommends Congress tochangc the
vote by which, at the last session, it
declined to pay $A‘35,000 as settlement
of British claims for I damages arising
from our seizure of British "sealing ves-
sels unauthorized under the award of
the Paris tribunal of arbitration.

' “he Senators shows that these claims
really amount to but $90,102, and there
was electricity in his tones when he re-
marked that any further negotiations
in regard to these damages as provided
by the treaty could be entered upon
only by and with consent of the Senate.
So Mr. Bull will‘have to content him-
self with looking longingly at the fig-
ures $425,000. for he is not. likely to
touch tte gold pieces whichIthey repre—
sent. Ever since llJu, Alabama award
his palms have been itching forea good
fat sum to he handed over by us to him;
but this time Fate and Senator Morgan
are against him.

The incident may help the President
to get back to his right role of officer
to execute the decree of Congress, and
to forsake the wrong one of a. kind of
glorified Premier seeking to impose his

'will on the national legislative bodies.

I - ST.IPAUL’S BAZAAR.

 

A.Successful Entertainment Ghjen
I' by the Ladies. '

 

The ladies of St. Paul’s church are to
be congratulated on the splendid suc-
cess of the first night’s presentation of
their bazaar and entertainment, at the
Opera House last evening. The hall
was comfortably filled. and tho supper
tables of which there were seven. were
well patronized. They were ladened
with roast turkey, salads,aud other pal-
atable morsels of food, and presided
over by members of the ladies’ society.
There was a long table containing
fancy articles suitable for holiday gifts,
presided over by the following mem-
bers of the Altar society : Mrs. Harry
Balcom, Mrs. Horace E. Dann, Mrs.
Louis C. Green and the Misses Cornelia
Raymond and Eugenie Clark. and they
did a. thriving trade.

There were but two booths known as
the Daughters of the King and Brother-
hood ofISt, Andrewsbooths.‘

The former was in charge of Mrs.
James L. Stevens. assisted by Mrs.
Alfred Betta, Mrs. W. A. Pryer, and
the Misses Carrie St. John, Jane M.
Hyatt, Marian Church and May St.
John. At this booth a flattering amount
of confectionery, etc, was diposed of.

The latter booth Was in charge of
St. John and Harry Merrill and there
was a good demandfor the leading
articles of fiuitsIand nuts on sale.

The stage part of the entertainment
was decidedly pleasing and reflects
great credit on those under whose
dirtcticn it was given. I

Fourteen little maids attired in grand-
mothercostumes of black dresses and
frilled caps, won hearty applause in
their presentation of “Little Gossips.”
A shadow pantomime entitled “I‘hc
Romantic Story of Mary Jane,” was of
a pleasing nature. Eight children in
robes d6 wait and with candles-ticks in
their hands, sang in a delightful man.
ner a. “Good Night.” Song. and won
hearty applause, as did also Leigh
Whittaker in the solo “There is a flow-
er that bloomelh.”

It was altogether, an unusually line
entertainment and futunacly is to be
repeated this evening. If you desire
an evening’s pleasure don’t miss being

present.

, WllI Rebuild,

The merchants and others who were

burned out at Ridgefisld are already
making preparations to resume busi-
nessas soon as the insurance is adjusted.
Temporary structures will. be erected in
some cases, notably in that of Bedleut
«ls Meat}, under whose general store‘ the
fire started. The firm will imme iiately
have a temporary building erected on
the ~site of the old one and will occupy
it until spring.
It is probable that Col. H. K. Scott
will not. rebuild his block.’ He may as“
the lot to parties who will put up I a
brick business structure. It is very
likely that all the new buildings will be
substantial brick and stone edifices. '

made an investigation. He found a

talking with a friend on the political

turned to his boat on Main‘ street.

NIew Brltaln Agitated;

New Britain is agitated over a quiet
elopement or an unannounced marriage
in which Harry Furniss, a Stamford
young man who has been boarding at
the Hotel Columbia several weeks past,
and Miss Dido Elmore, who up to two
months ago was employed at C. T.
Audrews’ confectionery store, are the
participants. The indications favor
the quiet marriage theory, as the em-
ployee of the hotel say they were aware
that Mr. Furniss contemplated taking
unto himself a wife and had a house
already furnished. At any rate, the
couple left town Monday morning, re-
turned last evening, and are now living
together. . '

I Still Growing.

A young man named Johnson, an em-
ploye of one of the Danbury baggage
men, is a curiosity in. his way. He is
17 ' years old and measures 6 feet 7
inches in his stocking feet. With his
shoes on, three-quarters of.an inch is
added to his height. The youth is
really agiant, and his height is accent-
uated by his lankness. He already at-
tracts attention wherever he goes,‘and
he promises to become something of a
wonder in a year or two. During the
past year he has grown nearly a foot.
It is with very little margin to spare
that he can can pass through an ordi-
nary ,door, and the usual length bed is
altogether-too short for him. I

IA Domestic Steals/a Sum of Money

from Dr. .John W. MaoLean.

Constable Ladrizan Captures the

Thief.

g.

On Saturday last Dr. John W.- Mac-
Leau, of No. 13 North avenue, secured
an eighteen-year old girl named Matilda
Anderson at one of the missions in New
York, to do his housework.

Last night about 6 o’clock Dr. and
Mrs. MacLeau came dowii town to do
some shopping. They returned home
at 7:30 and were surprised to find the
back kitchen door open, the dishes un-
washed, and Matildtkgonc. I ,

The Doctor made an examination up
stairs and found that a pocketbook con-
taining $14.10 was also missing. In ad-
dition to the missing pocketbook a
valuable vase was lying upon the floor
broken into pieces, and the bureau
drawers had been ransacked.

After convincing himself that a box
containing quite a sum of money and
some valuable papers were untouched
the Doctor notified the police.

The Doctor went to the depot "at
South Norwalk and ascertained that
Matilda had not purchased a ticket for
New York, but as he was making/in-
quiries he learned that a woman an-
swering .hcr ' description had secured
George Seymour to drive her to Row-
aytou in his back. Suspectiug that
the girl had taken the train from Row-
ayton for New York, the Dector re-
turned‘homs and was surprised to find
during his absence Constable Edward
Lulrigau of Rowavton had been to the
house with Mitllda and the latter had
handed over the stolen money, less
332 50 which she had spent, to Mrs.
MacLean, and was then looked up at
police headquarters at South Norwalk

t seems that after stealing tue mon-

ey Matildi came down town and going
to the store of John ’1‘. Hayes purchas-
ed a novel. While Mr. Hayes was
making change sheinquired particula r'
about the leaving time of trains 1o 34 at
York and on leaving the store tool; a
trolley car to South Norwalk.
' On arriving at the depot she found
that. she had missed the train. Not
caring to wait around the depot for fear
of arrest she hired George Seymour to
drive her to the Rowayton depot in his
back. , '

Seymour drove her to the depot at
Rowaytou and on his arrival was met
by Constable Ladrigau. The latter in-
quired of Seymour who his passenger
was but he was unable to tell him as he

did not know. .

The officer thought it a Astrunge pro.
ceeding and walking up to Matilda be-
gan to questson her. As she told sever-
al conflicting stories, Ladrigin arrest-
ed her on suspiction and was taking her
t) his home until he could make fur;
ther inquiried, when he was met by a
messenger with a telephone message
saying she was want-ed here.

‘ The officer thereupon brought her to

Leah’s house as above stated, took her
back to South Norwalk and locked her
up. . '
This morning before Judge Frost- she
pleaded guilty and was sent to j ail for
30 days, Chief Vollmer taking her to
Bridgeport on the noon train .

Roblnson Opera Company

Hoyt’s Theatre wrs crowded last eve-
ning to hear Robinson’s Opera compa-
ny in the Mascottc. The Singing, was
excellent, especially at the finale of the
second act when the ‘ famous
chorus from “l‘he Queens Lace Hand-
kerchief” was introduced. Miss Essie
Barton made a good Mascotte and her
fine singing and acting received un-
limited applause. Miss Laura Russell,
an old favorite, delighted the audience
with her sweet voice in the character of
Fiametta, daughter of Lorenzo. John
Young as Prince Lorenzo and Frank
Nelson as Rocco could not be improved
upon, they keeping the house in a. con-
tinuous roar. Nelson was especially
fine as an actor and in addition has an
excellent voice. J. K. Adams made an
excellent Pippc, and the “Gobble”
duct between he and Miss Barton was
zexcelient and received well merited ap-
plause. ‘ I I
