The Carlisle Letter.

The letter of Mr. Carlisle to Chair-
man Long of the Kentucky ,democratic
committee is in a measure a disappoint-
ment to some of the Secretary’s closest
friends. Not that they consider-that it
takes him out of the contest for tie
Chicago nomination, for they hold that
it does not, nor that it will iLfluence
them to forego activity in his behalf, for
it will not, but they desired, and felt
that they had reason to rxpect, some-

 

thing more direct and downright on
the shl j.c-‘.

The first let-leJSC to the lei.ter from»
sound money circles in Mr. Carlisle’s
own staze I: from the leading democra-
tic newspaper of the commonwealth,
and this is to the effect that Kentucky
‘will pres n 'the Secretary ’s name to the
.‘Chicueo Convention, and (Xpressing
Hill-t: opinion that he will abide by that
~Eth'-JII. No sound money Kentucky
"dam. cruis- doubt that, and so the Car-
lisle: lIOULU. Will keep the field.

I he diliculty will be in satisfying
sentiment at a distance, and most
especially in replying to accusations
and predictions about a third term., A
good many people are of the Opinion that
Mr. Cleveland wants another term, and
that matters in the end will be adjusted
to the accomplishment ‘of a fourth nom-
ination at Chicago. How such people
are likely to be affected by this declara-
tion'of Mr. Carlisle to enter the lists is
a problem. The fear is that many of
them Will read in the Secretary’s letter
confirmation of their belief. His solici.
tude that, the platform shall be con:
structcd to indorse the administration’s
attitude both as to the currency and
taxation, without regard to his own
personal fortunes, may, it is suggested,
convey to the average man ata distance
the idea that in administration circles the
man to profit by this has already been
chosen. ‘

The free silver democrats are natur-
ally very much pleased with the letter.
It argues to them that, at bottom, the
administration is not so certain of itself
except under the aegis of the name of
its chief. It is expecting its policy to
be indorsed, not as a policy considered
by itself, but along with the prestige of
Mr. Cleveland’s name. The coinage
men do not believe a fourth nomination
obtainable, and they expect to see de-
feated With that the proposition for an
unequiwcal indorsement of the admin-
istration’s policy.

The republicans express no. surprise
at the letter. _ Some of them regret it.
They would be glad to see Mr. Carlisle
make the race aggressively and carry
off the nomination. A campaign which
they could describe as one of protection
and bimetalism Versus free trade and
gold monometalism would suit them

precisely.

HOPE HOSE’S HUMMER.

The Easter Monday Night Sociable of the
Firemen a Battling Success.

 

 

The concert and ball given by Hope
Hose company, last evening was to the
credit of Captain Costello, his lieuten-
ants and members of the company.
Guests were present from a number of
fire companies from other cities, and
the Opera House floor was a scene of
much en]oyment to lovers of the art
terpsichore. 0

Notable among the out-of town visi-
tors were a number cf good looking and
gentlemanly behaved firemen . from
Derby, wearing the regulation red
shirt, ' embellished in front with the
word "Storm,” the name of the com-
pany they represented.

Early in the evening, Captain Lee in
behalf of the Storms, presented Captain
Costello with an elegant silver trumpet
suitably engraved, and of the latest and
richest pattern. To use the remark of
a fireman, Captain Costello was "struck
Speechless.” However, it did not take
long for him to recover, and in a pretty
little speech he thankéd the Storms,
and expressed the wish and belief that
the present happy, relations between
that company and the Hopes would be
as lasting as the hills that are to be
found in and about Derby, the home of
the visitors.

Captain Lee’s presentation speech
was as full of praise to Captain Costello
and his company as are the blackberry
bushes in Litchfield county when there
is an extraordinary crop. His remarks
Were not “sugary” but seemed to be
the outburst of a friendly feeling
towards the Captain and all the rest of
the Hopes. ,

Both captains were warmly applaud-
ed and the dancing was resumed to, the
music of Prof. Lowe’s orchestra, and
the dulcet vorce of Prof. Henry Gehr-
manu with his “balance partners” and
“all hands ’round.” -

A fine collation of turkey, chickens,
baked bean“, meats, sandwiches, etc.
was served at the company’s headquar-
ters, and heartily ei-joyed.

The Mayor and the Council .visited
the ball room and for a while watched
the grand array of firemen and beauti-
ful women as they gyrated about the
hall in dizzy Waltzes and the more quiet
but none the less pleasing quadrilles
and lanciers.

Mr. E. F. Duffy acted as floor man-
ager, and had for his aides J. M. Ken-
nedy, J. T. McManus, Ja’mes H. Mag-
ner, James McSalIy, and P. J. Mono-
ban.

The reception committee was com-
pOSed of Captain Costello and his two
ableand affable lieutenants, 'I‘, H. Rob-
inson and J. W. Duffy.

“Old led Prouty.” .
“Old Jed Prouty’s” horse used in 1:19
production at Hoyt’s Theatre to—mor-
row evening, of that famous Down East
comedy, is possessed of more than horse
sense. In fact, Richard Golden states

 

 

that he is all but human and knows his

entrance cue as Well as any actor would,
becoming perfectly frantic when his en-
trance music is played. Whether Mr.
Golden is ready or not, on he goes, and
woe to him who stands in his wayl
When bought, he weighed absolutely
nothing but was just a frame work of
skin and bones. He cost just $3 00,
but Mr. Golden says, $800.00 oan’t buy
him to-day. '

The Armorer’s Benefit.

The masquerade ball given by the
military of Nei'Walk, in the Armory,
last evening, for the benefit» of Luther
M. \Vhitney was Well attended. There
were about 100 couples in the grand
march which was led by Howard Mer-
ritt and Andrew Noonan. Excellent
music was furnished by the Philhar-
monic orchestra, and John B. Finn of
Stamford acted as promoter. It was
not until an early hour this morning
that the last number on the programme
Was called. Guests were present from
Stamford, Bridgeport and Greenwich.

During’the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin,
of Long Reach, IVest Va., contracted a
severe cold which left him with a. cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup but found
no relief until I bought a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s‘Cough Remedy, which relieved me
almost, instantly,.and in a. short time brought
about a complete cure.” When troubled-with
a cough or cold use this remedy and you
will not find it necessary to try several kinds
before you get relief. It has been in the
market for over twenty years and constantly
grown in favor and popularity. For sale at
25 ‘and 50 cents per bottle by E. P. Weed,

They Trapped Him.

For some time past Station agent
Hughes has been aware of the fact that
coal was being stolen from the locker
on the station platform. This morning
a strict watch was set on the source of
supply and after a While an Italian lad

Officer Kenney arrested William Fahan
this morning on the charge of an as-
sault on Mrs. Michael Fahan. William
visited his: brother’s saloon and became
engaged in an argument with him, in
which Mrs. Fahan interferred when she
thought that the two brothers were lia-'
ble to come to blows. William then
turned his attention, it is alleged, to
Mrs. Fahan and as is further alleged
abused her by pulling out her hair. She
then called an officer who arrested
This morning Judge Hubbell
fined him $55 for intoxication, and im-
posed a further fine of $25 with costs
for assault on Mrs. Fahan. The pris-
oner was under the influence of liquor

ent. An appeal was taken from the de-
cision and John Mahoney went bonds
