A rall'y social was held last. night in 'the parlors of the South Norwalk Con- gregational .church. A programme had been arranged composed of zeal selections by Mrs. Munger and Mrs. Quintard, a sonata by the organist, Walter J. Stanley and readings by Mrs. Ida S. Keep. Refreshments were . served by the ladies and a very pleas- ant evening spent. _ Thomas H. Sweeney and B. C. Vl’aige of Geneva, N.

They were shown all the “ins and outs” of the business by the Commissioners. Arthur W. Ellis representing the New York Herald was in this city yes- terday. There'was a good attendance at the Bachelors’ ball last evening. The vermillion hued bridge over Washington street is being painted white much to the surprise of the old- est citizen who had his eye “dead sot 0n red.” Captain Gladstone and Oiiicer Pen< nington hired-a team and went on a chestnutting expedition yesterday. They returned with a pretty good idea of where they believed chestnuts are not the leading feature in all woods. Mrs. Sherwood, Mrs. C. F. Boutwell, Mrs. H. P. Morgan, Dr. H. C.

Hod Saunders’ bicycle store last evening, and offered for sale a lady’s Keating bicycle. He first wanted $50, was wil- ling to take $35, would make it $25 and sooner than leave without making the sale would let it go for $20. The “Col. ” became suspicious that all was not right, and tried to have the party ap- ' prehended, but he managed to skip away and out of ,sight. All he left with the Colrw‘a's a. lOt of statements which he believes to be no more or less than base fabrications.

', Landlord O’Sullivan has completed an extensive sea wall at his popular summer resort at Gregory’s Point, that cannot fail of being recognized for its entire length, 312 feet, as being a fine and attractive addition to the acknowl- edged attractiveness of the place. Druggists Tomlinson and McDonald are credited with having caught two codfish this week that weighed 40 pounds each. So proud are they of the catch that a couple of youngsters have been hired to display the fish to the public. Several belated cars belonging to, the Buffalo Bill show, passed through this city early this morning. Horace A. Saunders of the Orient Cycle store this morning filled an order for a party who is sojourning in Italy. The celebration of the twentieth an- niversary of Douglas Fowler Post, G. A. R. was the success that had been anticipated. The headquarters was the seene of what will probably ever dwell in the remembrance of those present as a happy one. The “vets” vied with each other in “making things jolly,” and there Was an “at home” feeling that suggested an epidemic of genuine pleasure. —Live Merchants keep their names before the Public.

Though barely nineteen years of age, the little Cuban patriot girl Evan- gelina Cossioy Cisneros has managed to leap into world—wide prominence. When confined in the Casa de Rico-hi- das,in Havano,she was charged with the heinous political crimes of destroying and trampling on a picture of Gen. W'eyler and conspiring against the Crown of Spain. Incidentally there is a charge against her of attempting the life of Gov. Berez of the Isle of Pines- There was a prOSpect of from ten to twenty years‘of banishment to a penal 0010113’ facing her in case of conviction on the charges. So grave was the sit— uation of this young girl that even the Pope joined the many titled people abroad who became interested in the little woman in an appeal for ~mercy to the Queen Regent of Spain. Senorita Cisneros is without doubt a. hot little rebel from the Spanish point of view, for at the outbreak of the present rebellion she put herself at the head of her father’s band of reb- els and started them to join the army of Gomez. This was after her father, Senor Cossio, had been arrested and sent to the Isle of Pines as a suspect. In July of last year she was betrayed 7“» “ so Vit‘ . IISS CISNEROS. by one of her band and sent to join her father as a political prisoner. Being vivacious, spirited, of attract- ive face, figure and manner, the Gover- nor of the island, Berez, became infat- uated with her and tried the coanest of the spiteful little rebel. It proved a sorry job for him. A few of his own prisoners, availing themselves of the knoWledge of BereZ’s infatuation, used her as a tool to draw him into an am- bush, where he was seized, while the main band captured the garrison. The timely arrival of reinforcements alone saved the fort from capitulation to the patriots. Then‘fol-lowed the incarcera- tion of the plucky little miss, who re- fused freedom at the price of vassalage to Berez, which was offered her. She was sent to‘ Havana in chains and com- mitted to the prison for female felons. The accompanying picture shows her as she was before her arrest and is re- producd from what is probably the only photograph of her in the United States. ‘ MAY RECLAIM'GREAT SARAHA. Proof That Irrigation Can be Employed to Make the Desert Productive. Whatever the outcome of the Anglo- Egyptian expedition from a political point of view, it cannot but result in good for Egypt and the surrounding country, for members of the expedition have made a discovery of far reaching importance not only to Egypt but to the desert country that stretches away from it. This discovery shows that there is water in the desert at varying depths beneath the sands. The expedition has been successful in the sinking of wells in the desert between Wady-Hal- fa and Abou-Hamed. The presence of water at such a distance from the Nile , has never heretofore been suspected, either by Europeans or natives, and this discovery bids fair to revolution- ize not only the desert tribes, but the entire conditions of desert life. The problem of converting the great African deserts into fertile territory seems to be at length in a. fair way to- ward solution, not by letting in the sea, as proposed by Count do Lesseps and other engineers, but by the sink- ing of wells, for in all probability wa- ter can be found everywhere in the African deserts provided one digs deep enough. ' 5 The knowledge that explorers have gained in recent years goes to show that the desert of Sahara is not the mere useless waste of s'and most per- sons were formerly content to suppose. The Sahara is not everywhere flat and is by no means entirely desert. Moun- tain ranges cross it which in places at- tain a. height of five thousand feet above the sea level and enclose verdant valleys dotted with groves of trees. The Sahara has an area nearly as large as that of Europe, but Europe supportsa population of more than 400,000,000, while the Sahara does not contain more than 2,500,000 souls. The sands do not cover the areas as- signed to them in the ordinary maps, . which are of too small a scale to show the interchange of different kinds of surface. A Difference in Color.

Struggles Which Neal >Dow Made x... ‘ Seventy Years. The fight that Neal Dow_made in Maine for prohibition began, seventy ‘ years ago, and the law which he’ fath-‘ ered has been in force in the State for forty-six years. Ten years before he became Mayor of Portland, in 1857, friend went to Mr. Dow and begged him to dissuade her husband from ex- ‘ cessive drinking. He undertook the task but failed. Then 'he tried to re- form the saloonkeeper. who answered him: ‘ ‘ "r, ;€.~ ‘ '2 l. . Ida. 52-; is #333351”: ’ “3/fo 7 7;: . GEN. NEAL DOW. “My business is to sell liquor. 1 care not for the fellows that buy it.” ' “By heavens, you shall care!” Dow replied, and he Worked until his fa- mous bill became a law. When he became Mayor his enemies plotted to undo him in every possible way, even storing liquor in the city buildings, claiming it was bought by Dow and calling a mob together to destroy the liquor. The celebrated “June riot,” in Port- land resulted, in which the militia took part. ‘ Though over sixty when the rebel- lion started, Neal Dow raised a regi- ment of 2,500 sturdy woodmen, and afterward a. battery of artillery, and ' went to the front, where he became a General. He was wounded several times and finally imprisoned in Libby. After a year he was exchanged as a prisoner for General Fitz Hugh Lee. In recent years his time has chiefly been spent in his library at his Port- land home. Up' to the time of his prostration his shoulders were square as a soldier’son d'ress parade, and he walked without difficulty. His wife died in 1883 but a son and daughter live at home. He h’asvtwo other daughters married. He conduct- ed an‘immense correspondence for .manyyears With mtanyof the most notable people in the world. THE on. LAKE IN ALASKA. " 2 Mr, Johnston Says It Contains Tens 0] Thousands of Barrels of Patroleuln‘.‘ . has just returned from Alaska, where he discovered a lake of petroleum near Prince William Sound, eastof Cook in- let. Last year he Went north prospect- ing and in a small creek near the sound he and his partner struck gold in paying quantities, but they were great- ly hampered imworking it by the abun- dance of oil in the water. Finally they decided to trace the source of the oil, and they found a real lake' of crude petroleum fed by more than fifty springs. Johnston found good anthracite coal near at hand. He has organized a company and proposes to immediately develope- the find. He says: - “There is a fortune in it for every- body concerned, and the beauty of it is there is only a mile and a half of piping to lay from our lake of oil to where we propose to build ten 20,000- gallon tanks for storage purposes close to tide water, with a fall of seventy feet to the mile, obviating the necessity of pumping. The lake is 300 by 50 feet in size, with tensrof thousands of bar- rels of oil in sight. The supply of oil and coal is practically inexhaustible, and the middle of September will see the work of development actively un- der way." . _ Johnston’s discovery is in close proximity to one of the numerous arms of Prince William Sound. It is the company’s intention. to take out 500 barrels of petroleum next month as a starter, and by next spring have a line of tank steamers in operation to con- vey oil to Seattle, where the refinery is to be built. 3 ‘A Roving Queen. Queen Natalie of Servia, the divorc- ed wife of the ex-King of Milan, is one of the many victimsof unhappy royal alliances. Strong-willed and full of ambition, she was the exact opposite of her vacillating, pleasure- loving husband. Now, while he spends his time at the baccaralt‘tables of Par— is, his unhappy Queen is leading a rambling life on the Continent. Queen Natalie is still a woman of great he zu- ty', and attracts attention by the pic— turesque .if old-fashioned habit of wearing her luxurianlt dark hair down her back.
