D’Arville was charming and she re-
ceived numerous encdres. The sup-
port of W. G. Stewart as an Alsatian
artist was excellent and he, too, was
obliged to respond to several encores.
The chorus was the finest ever heard in
Norwalk and showed careful study and
Altogether Miss D’Arville’s
company surpassed anything in the
opera line ever produced here and if
Mr. Hoyt could arrange a‘ return date
the house would no doubt be crowded.

A council meeting was held under the
Washington street bridge this morning
with all but two of the councilmen
present. The ofiicers of the Street
Railway Company were present and the
grade was discussed. The councilmen
wanted the outer rail lowered in order
to prevent the~water from filling up the
depression at this point. The officials

of the company objected to lowering it as '

they said it was better for the cars if the
outer tail on the curve was higher than
the inner. After much discussion the
railroad agreed to lower the outer rail

one inch and the councilman dispersed

having gained their point.

During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin,
of Long Beach, West 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 ovei‘ twenty years and constantly
grown in favor and popularity. For sale at
25 and 50 cents per ottle by E. P. Weed,

THE circulation of books in Russia is

A NEW ‘- ART' PROCESS. -

The Monotype Crazevin Paris [a Reaching
Over Here. .

' An effective departure in art is the
new menotype that is beginning to find
its way to’America from Paris,.where
it has enjoyed for some months a. vio-
lent, popularity. The process, says the
New York Times, was. discovered by
Hubert Herkimer. >The artistic folk
of Paris were quick to see its possibili-
ties, and the fame thereof flow like
wildfire through the inflammable paint-
ers’ quarters. Monotype parties have
been one of the latest fads of these ap-
preciative people. Artists infected with
the craze and their curious friends
gather in some accessible studio .in
ardent groups to turn out these pic-
tures. ’The excitement lies in the fact
that no one can foresee quite how they
will turn out, the pleasure, not in the
novelty, though that, of course, con-
tributes to it, but mostly in the potent
truth that in no other way can the same
effects of light and shade be obtained.

To produce the monotype the artist
paints his study upon a. zinc plate,
which is put through a. press. As the
name implies, only one impression is
produced. Those that are done in one
color are the most successful as yet,
though some of the two-color attempts
are very charming. The subtlety of
certain delicate effects, as, for instance,
sunlight on water, is rendered by this
new phase of art in a. truly marvelous
manners Although the cordiality of
Paris may not be expected, perhaps, in
America. for the monotype, there can
be no doubt that they will be warmly
received'here, when they are once at
home in our art exhibits, and when,
too, the public has learned to under-
stand them sufficiently to appreciate
the fact that a. favorite study, pro-
duced in this way, will not be found
duplicated in a neighbor’s drawing

 

less art patron who seems to have some
hazy idea of etchings in his mind.

The practical wife of an artist who
has lately returned from Paris with the
monotype fever raging in his blood '
complains ruefully: “Why, my hus-
band took the clothes wringer away
from the maids for a. press to produce
those pictures!” She smiled with a
woman’s superiority as she added: “He
said they could have it back again! It
would take at least three hours to re-
move that oily paint with turpentine
every time they used it.” With a sigh:
“I have bought a new wringer.” So
there is a. sordid side even to such gems
of art as this wife displays, with a pride
that must soften, if it doesn’t efface, the
domestic inconvenience.

The aesthetic side is Venetian scenes.
in browu, an old stone bridge in gray,
mountain peaks and a seascape in blue,
and a. cluster of picturesque willows in
green. Who could mind the loss of one
wringer after feasting the eyes on such
exquisite shading, particularly if it isn’t
her wringer?

 

 

IT is estimated that in five per cent.
of, our city houses the value of the.
furniture and fittings equals that of
the building,. ' ' _ , . ..

How South American Newspapers Regard
Southern Internal Squabblea. '
Down in South America, where revo-
lutions are amusingly frequent, the
people not directly céncerned seem to

regard. such upheavals with much 7

calmness. This fact is‘admirably illus-'
trated by the way in which the Rio and
Buen‘os Ayres papers report them. In
those journals, says the New York

-Times, a “revolution,” unless it pos-

sesses features quite out of the com-
mon, gets nothing more than a para»
graph. These, when numerous enough,
a. contingency that often happens, are
put together and arranged according
to length in a, regular “department,”
much‘as papers in this part of the
world publish “fishing notes” and
“news about the railroads.” For in-
stance, the Rio News, which collects
information of the sort" indicated from
all the SOuth American countries, re-
gards eleven lines as enough to give
S‘another revolution that came off in
Santiago del Estero, Argentina, on the
15th,” and which, “like its predecessor
of a. few weeks ago, was a. brilliant suc-
cess.” It seems that the revolutionists
attacked and captured the police bar-
racks and government house and took
the governor prisoner and compelled
him to resign. Four men were killed
and “several wounded.” A provisional
government was organized and “then
sat down to wait for advices ”from
Buenos Ayres.” And that particular
revolution receives no more attention
and is not even'dignified by a headline.
The next item, as it deals with a. revo-
lution that did not succeed, either bril-
liantly or otherwise, is even shorter,
and so it goes down the column. As
even one of these events, if it occurred
here, would fill a page or two. a, day in
the papers for weeks, the contrast is
both startling and instructive.

 

 

A House Invader! by‘ Bats.

A queer invasion of a. house by bats
occurred recently in a. Maine town.
The family had heard queer noises in
the walls and occasionally had re-
ceived a. visit from a. bat, and so they
decided on an investigation. A hole
found under the eaves was stopped up,
and at once the bats began to appear.
Through the ventilators, into the bath-
room and into the cellar they swarmed,
sixty-five being killed in one night.
The next night there was another in-
vasion, until in all two hundred were
killed, and then the family rested in
peace.

 

 

 

The Reason Why.

Apropos of the general election and
also of the third matrimonial venture
of the old duke of Argyll, a. good story
comes from England. Lord Lorne, the
duke’s eldest son, was addressing a. po-
litical meeting, and was being chuffed
by a bystander, who finally asked: “Is
it true‘that your father is going to be
married again?” Lord Lorne admitted

. the impeachment, and then came the

question: “Why does he marry again?”
“Because,” was the prompt answer,
fi‘because he is a liberal-unionist.”

No. 770l-PRlCE "10 CENTS.

Sailor collars which form revers in
front are a favorite shape. The waist
shown above laps at the waist line, and
this, with the revers, make a fichu ef-
fect that is particularly stylish. The
collar may be made separate or sewn to
the waist. Collars of black silk muslin
trimmed with ruflies or plantings of the
same are worn with bfight colored silk
waists for evening.

A green and black dress of wool had
a collar of printed velveteen in the same
colors, the V between revers being of
green silk braided with gold. A nar-
row gilt belt was worn with this. A
dress of tan alpaca had a collar of brown
satin with V of plaid silk in bright col-
ors on a tan ground.

This model is very well adapted for
making up washable materials. The
brown home spun linens and cottons
which suggest dish toweling are very
fashionable, and serviceable as well.
