Horrors of the Microscope.

Professor and Doctor Swift of Roches-
ter gave a lecture before Misc Baird’s
school last evening upon the wonders
of the Microscope. Among the Profes-
sor’s exhibits he showed a drop of Nor-
walk’s city water! The horrors there
revealed will haunt the memories of the
young lady students to their marriage
day ! What the girls are to do for
drink, is now a serious question, as they
‘ cannot drink beer, and tea and coffee
only at mealtime. The lecture was ex-
ceedlngly instructive and entertaining,
but the Norwalk water episode was a
horror.

 

Mr. Fessenden Apologizes.
Yesterday in the Superior court room
Samuel Fesseuden made the “amends
honorable” to Attorney Stiles Judson
for calling him an “insolent puppy”
during the Porter-Bitch trial last week.
Mr. Fessenden addressed the court,
saying that his words addressed to Mr.
Judson were not warranted and that he
had no tangible excuse for attacking
him.“ The apology was accepted and
the strained relations between these
lights of the bar are removed.
State vs. Fairchild. .
The case of the State vs. Fred Fair-
child occupied the atteetion of Judge
Hubhell this morning. The defendant
is charged with having assaulted
Charles Gehebe. There .was a large
, array of witnesses, Attorney Gregory
appeared for the State and Attorney
Lockwood for the defense. Arguments
"K of the ltWO attorneys will be heard at 4
‘ o’clock this afternoon.
Trouble in the Choir.
There is trouble brewing in St.
James’ P. E. church, between the old
members of the choir and the new or-
ganist, Walter Hall. Mr. Hall notified
the members of the famous surpliced
choir on Sunday that they were no
,longer needed, as he could get along
thh a quartette of first-class soloists
such as he had secured. The discharge
of the choir was greeted with a gasp of
consternation and the members at once
went to theirfriends in the parish and
sides have been taken in the matter.
Mr. Hall is backed up by the music
committee of the church, and has some
very influential friends and there is but
little doubt that be 117111 come out first

Keep Sober or Don’t Smoke.

A poor victim of our Bridge tangle-
foot, was staggering his way up toward
Spring Hill, last evening, and loslng
his equilibrium, fell on the hard Bel-
den avenue pavement, and in his strug-
gles to get up, got over on his back and
couldn’t turn over in any way. While
gazing Skyward, he suddenly burst into
a spontaneous conflagration l A lad
pissing by, ran to his aid, whipped out
the blaze and saved the poor victim
from terrible burns if not death. He
had in his stupor, put his lighted pipe
in his cotton lined coat pocket, and the
flames were fast devouring all ,the co:-
Ion goo ls 1n his make up.

AMUSEMENTS.

“The Limited Mail.”

All who see this play at Hoyt’s Thea-
tre, tO-night, will witness a performance
that bristles with thrilling sensations
and interesting episodes. It is a play
dealing with life on the railroad, writ-
ten and dramatized by a life long rail-
road man, Elmer E. Vance, for many
years train dispatcher and night tele-
graph Operator at the Union Depot,
Columbus, Ohio. Consequently, every
detail may be counted on as absolutely
correct.

“Princess of Bagdad.”

The Princess of Bagdad is from the pen
of that master of dramatic stage craft,
Alexander Dumas, and in selecting it
Miss Fuller has chosen a popular theme
for the display of rare histrimic pow-
ers, and the role of Lionnette, it is said,
is destined‘ .o acquire a high place in

the gallery of dramatic portraitures

It will be seen at Hoyt’s Theatre, Sat-
urday night.
Hoyt’s A Trip to Chinatown.

“A Trip to Chinatown” is a clever
musical conceit, satirizes popular
themes and characters of the day,1utro-
duces pretty songs, attractive girls. and
clever comedians, affording an even
ing ’sentertainment in which there is
hardly a break in the laughing. The
piece will be produced at the Norwalk
Opera House, Saturday night, in ex-
actly the same manner as at Hoyt’ s
Theatre, New York. The musical num-
bers are all new and up-to-date.

Mr. Barnes of New York.

Miss Loraine Hollis, who is an-
nounced to appear at the Norwalk
Opera House next Monday night as
Marina, in “Mr. Barnes of New York,"
is said to be one of the most beautiful
women on the American stage. She is
also young, ambitious and talented.
Her acting is devOId;of aft'ectation, and
full ofasubtle and suggestive charm.
In the lighter scenes she is graceful
and mobile, while in the stronger pas-
sages, her natural emotional ability
finds forceful expression. Miss Hollis
is supported by a strong company.

When Henry B. Nash’s sailboat cap»
sized 1n the harbor three weeks ago, he
lost a pocketbook containing $13, and
valuable papers. One day last week,
while at work with oyster tongs near
the spot, he had the good fortune to
draw to the surface the treasure, as
good as ever, save for a thorough wet-
ting.

Rufus G. Taylor is in declining health
at the house of William J. Finch. For
several months he has shown evidence
of weakness. During the entire period
of his practice here, Dr. L. T. Dry has
employed Mr. Taylor. The doctor’s
predecessor, Dr. G. B. Bouton, also
employed him, and he had acted for
the late Dr. David S. Burr, serving
each faithfully, the whole period aggre-
gating 40 years. Last week Mr. Taylor
felt compelled to say he could not la-
bor further, and he was removed to
his former home, as stated, where a
sister, Miss Mary Taylor, and a neice,
Mrs. William 1‘. Wood, will minister to
his wants. Mr. Taylor is about 65
years of age.

Curiosities of 3 Bake Shop.

The largest loaves of bread baked in
the world are those of France and It-
aly, says the Cleveland “World." The
“pipe” bread of Italy is baked in leaves
three feet long, while in France the
loaves are made in the shape of very
long rolls, four feet in length, and in
many cases even six feet.

The bread of Paris is distributed al-
most exclusively by women, who go
to the various bakehouses at 5:30 a.
m., and spend about an hour brushing
and polishing the leaves.

After the loaves are thoroughly
cleaned of dust and grit, the woman
proceeds on the rounds of her custom-
ers. Those who live in apartments or
flats find their loaves leaning against
the door. Restaurateurs and those hav-
ing street entrances to their premises
find their supply of the stud of life
propped up against the front door. The 3
wages earned by these bread carriers“
vary from 50 cents to 631/2 cents of our
money, and their day’s work is com-

 

pleted by 10 of 11 o’clock in the\morn1 '

ing.

INEBRIETY FROM SMELLING SALTS.

 

- Uunfir- 111611 Drunkard.

The very latest sort of drunkenness.
is that which-it has been discovered.
comes from the constant inhalation of
smelling. salts.

So great a hold has the smelling salts
habit gained upon the modern woman
that when She is deprived Of them she
experiences all the cravings that :If-
flict the person who dearly loves
liquor, and finds himself deprived of
it. Some of the salts are of excessive
strength, and produce a sort of stupor
most gratifying to the victim. More
than one woman has been suspected of
drinking when really her inebriety has
resulted from a too liberal use of the
smelling bottle.

Not long ago a titled lady was carried
from the cloakroom at a grand recep-
tion in London in a state of helpless-
ness. A bottle was found in the folds
of her gown containing matter of a
strength sufficient to take away the
breath of an ordinary person. The ru-
mor spread with wonderful precision
that my lady was a confirmed drunk-
hrd—the smelling salts theory being de-
rided by the majority—and the victim
found it necessary to withdraw from
the social circle she had long graced.

Indulgence in this habit may become
expensive, for the seasoned subject
soon exhausts'the strength of the salts.
As stimulation of the olfactory nerves
is not alone the reason of this practice,
it becomes necessary to renew the sup—
ply, and once enchalned the slave will
accept nothing that does not yield full
virtues. The story is told of an elderly
lady who calls upon a chemist every
two or three days and requests the re-
plenishing of no fewer than eight
smelling bottles, some of which are not
of .‘l diminutive size.
