The Second—“NI. E. Sunday,
‘ Schoolj Celebrates Its
‘ Fortielh Anniversary
A Large Attendance and the First 31
' perlntendenl of the School
Talks.
Yesterday marked the fortieth anni-
versary of the formation of the Second
Methodist Sunday school and it was
splendidly celebrated at the church in
the morning.
The members of the school proceeded
to the auditorium of the church in a
body and were accorded seats of honor.
The exercises were of an interesting
character, the chief of which was the
reading by Rev. Garrett Haulenbeck,
the first superintendent of the school, a
it first held-its sessions in Lockwood’s
hall to the present time.
' It was an interesting talk and showed
the speaker to have almost at his
tongue’s end the progress of the school
from its inception. =
Valuable figures as to attendance
from year to year were given in detail,
and the names of those who had done
so much for the school were not
omitted. ‘~
Rev. Dr. Simons, a former pastor of
the church also addressed the meeting,
and pertinently called attention to the
fact that in the present conference
district the Sunday school of this
church, with its roll of 611 sCholars was
only within two of being at the head—of
the list, the second one being the school
.at Stamford,which by the way included
two mission schools. He also gave the
school other deserved compliments.
‘ A sermon especially for the young
people was preached in l the evening
and greatly enjoyed by a large congre-
gation. ‘
Some months since several hundred
“mite” boxes, the proceeds of the same
to be used in rcfurnishing the Sunday
school rooms, were given out to the
scholars. Yesterday 192 of the boxes
were opened and found to contain
nearly $240. The others will be opened
as soon as returned.

City of Norwalk, aground on Smith’s
Ledge, about midway between Shippan
and Collender Points. The whistling
was alo heard by many people ashore.
Capt. Hobby, after bringing his tow
into harbor, hastened to the steamer’ s
assistance, but by that time she had
departed, apparently not seriously in-
jured. Nothing further could be
learned about the incident at the Cove
to-day.

Baptist church preached his farewell.
sermon in that church last evening.
He paid a high compliment to the work
done bythe ladies during his seven
years pastorate of the church, but in
no way referred to the dissensions in
the church. Both he and Mrs. Rob-
bins will be present at the meeting of
the church to be held on Thursday
and will probably both have something

A New Motor Launch Will ‘Fly the Yacht
Club Pennant.
The , 56-foot twin screw Dimaler
motor. launch ‘fGemini” made her
p pearance at Gregory’s Point last
evening, and created a shore ripple of
excitement.
It was later found that the craft was
the property of Captain Clarence
Osborn, and it is understood will fly
the Norwalk Yacht club pennant.
She made the trip from New York to
her anchorage in South Norwalk in
three hours’ time, and at no time was
her speed given a full test.
The craft has two twelve horse
power motors, is 8 feet‘fi inch beam,
28 inches draught and is credited wit h
a speed of 14 miles an hour.
The boat is a valuable acquisition to
the sailing craft of the ' harbor and
will undoubtedly take part in many
sailing expeditions next season.
As'a matter of fact she is out to-day
with a small party just for exercise.
Recent Deaths.
Charles S. Bouton died at his home
in Cranbury, yesterday, in the 59th
year of his age. The deceased was for
along time employed at the Louns-
bury, Mathewson & Co. shoe manu-
factory, but of late years had carried
on the market gardening business.
‘ He was familiarly called “Jake,” by
which sobricjuet he was perhaps better
known than Charles. His widow and
one son survive him. The funeral will
be held Wednesday afternoon.

Hats Exchanged.
Some one exchanged an old hat for a
new one with “Sammy” Hull Saturday
afternoon. It was done as a joke and
“Sam” appreciated it to the extent of
getting somewhat provoked, and
“called down” some of his shopmates
in a lively manner.
the deception that had been “played”
upon him until reaching home, but
lost no time in returning to the shop,
and after a while secured his hat, and
doubtless wore it yesterday.
Took an Appeal.
In the case of the State vs. J. P.
Morrissey, an employee of the Southern
New England Telephone company,
Morrissey was fined $10 and costs in
the TOWn Court, Saturday afternoon.
His partner, Hindley, was discharged.
The complaint was caused by the cut-
ting down of a limb from in front of
the N orwalk Hotel, for the progress of
telephone wires. An appeal was taken
from the decision of the judge.

AMUSEMENTS.
~ What Happened to Jones.
“What Happened to Jones,” one of
the liveliest and most hilariously di-
verting farces of the times, will be
quartered at Hoyt’s Theatre Wednes-
day, September 28th. The story of
“Jones” is one of those narratives that
doesn’t sound well on paper. Its
humor must be seen to be savored.
Jones is a drummer who sells hymn
books and playing cards, one as a
steady thing; the other as a side issue.
Jones has lost his coat tail in a scuffle
with a policeman. To bridge over
this damning fact he dons the ministeri-
al garb: of the BishOp of Ballarat.
Complications—with the typical amor-
ing wife, and with everything and
everybody in sight—complications
thick, furious and bewildering.

McFadden’s Row of Flats was pre-.
sented to a large audience at Hoyt’s
Theatre on Saturday night. The whole
thing from beginning to end was one
long risibility as the COntinuous
laughter attested. Joe J. Sullivan and
Harry Crandell, as the Irish and Dutch
saloon keepers, respectively were very
clever; the yellow kids in their mischief
making propensities were inimitable.
Sadie Connelly as Mrs. Murphy created
a good deal of laughter in her clever
portrayal of the part and the N055
family in the musical parts were fine.
The costumes were new and elegant.’

THE CHINAMAN'S HOUSE SHOE-
Yjel'y Comfortable to Wear and Considered
. 7' Conducivs to‘flehlth. j
The house shoes universally worn
by theChlnamen are woven of straw
and seaweed and soled with horse-
h-ide. Thereis a thick sole of straw
above the leather, and through this
the air can circulate freely, keeping
the muscles of the under part of the
foot always cool. There is about as
’ little material in the uppers as is con-
sistent with the idea of a shoe, and
this is just enough to keep the-thing
on the foot. This upper, too, is woven.
loosely of seaweed, so fthat the air
can have access to the foot. Nowhere
does this shoe pinch or in the least
degree press the foot.
These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street here in the
United States nowadays he wears
very commonly the leather shoes or
boots of American manufacture. That
is one of the ways in which he is be-
coming Americanized.
door cloth shoe of China is a great
deal worn also. That, like the indoor
shoe, is very thick and soft in the
sole, and the foot is never pinched or
strained by it. " The healthiest foot-
gear ever known probably was the
sandal of the Greeks. It had no up-~
per, and the feet of men and women
were ideally perfect. All the sandal
afforded Was a protection from the
ground. ‘To him who. wears san-
dals,” say the Arabs, “it is asif the
world were shod with leather.” The
Chinaman seems to follow out this
motto, and his shoes are nearly soles
and nothing more. But the great se-
cret of the excellence of his indoor
shoes is the half-inch straw sole.—
New York Tribune.
’ Anecdote of Aldrich.
A very clever anecdote is told of
Thomas Bailey Aldrich. One day the
distinguished -. author happened to
saunter into an auction room while a
sale of rare editions, old manuscripts
and autographs was going on. The
auctioneer, holding in his hands a bun-
dle of letters, said: “Ladies and gen-
tlemen, I have here two autographs
written by a man named Thomas Bai-
ley Aldrich. I shall now start them
for you at the price of two for five
cents.” No bids were made and they
were sold for that sum. ‘ .
Mr. Aldrich, in Speaking of the in-
cident afterward to a friend, said: “I
wouldn’t have cared at all if they had
gone for five cents each, but ‘two for
five’ reminded» me very forcibly of lit-
tle apples.”—Phi1adelphia Post.
USEFUL LITTLE‘MEAT SKEWERS.
.llInde in Great Variety and Used in Enorv
mous Numbers. ,
Wooden meat skewers are made al-
, most exclusively of hickory, and, like
.many other manufactures of wood,
they are made in factories located in
proximity to the forests whence the
wood of which they are ‘made of
is taken. Wooden skewers are .made
mostly in the West. They are pro-
duced in great numbers in Tennessee
and Ohio. '
Hickory skewers are made in vari-
ous lengths, four and a half, five, five
and a half, six, and seven inches, and
up to giant skewers sixteen inches
long, and all but the four and a half
inch skewer, which is made of a
gauge or diameter of five-thirty-sec-
onds of an inch, are made in two or
more gauges. Thus the six-inch
skewer is made in gauges of seven-
thirty-seconds, fifteen - sixty-fourths,
and four-sixteenths of an inch. So
that, simple a thing as a meat skewer
may seem to be, it is in reality an ar-
ticle that is made in large variety.
The skewers are made wholly by
machinery, and are sold very cheap.
They are put up in bundles that vary
in the number of skewers contained,
according to the size of the skewers,
and they are packed in cases that vary
likewise. Thus the smallest skewers
are put up 250 in a bundle, and 80,000
in a case. Of eight-inch skewers, six-
sixteenths gauge, there are packed
9,600 in a case, and so'on.—New York
Sun.
A SERIOUS OBJECTION TO THETEXT.‘
The American Sailor Had No Notion of
' Honoring the King.
Near the close of the war between
Great Britain and the United States,
1812-15, several of the American war
sliips lay at anchor in New Bedford
harbor. The officers of the fleet and
a number of the citizens of the place
invited a celebrated minister of New
Haven to visit them and deliver a dis-
course appropriate to the times. The
invitation was accepted, and the
largest church was filled to its utmost
capacity with the officers, marines and
citizens generally. ,
The preacher selected for his text
these words, “Fear God and hon-or the
King.”
and instructive one, setting forth
man’s duty to his Creator; also his
duty to his country; honor and re-
. spect its rulers, obey the laws of his
government, adopted for the benefit of
society. ~ '
A patriotic tarfrom one of the fleet
took great objection 'tO the text——
“Honor the King.” He could not
comprehend why he, an American
sailor, should be commanded to
“honor” King George III., his mortal
enemy, and the only King he had ever
heard of, or had an existence. As the
preacher repeated the text for the
sixth time, he stood up and exclaimed
in a loud voice, “Praise God, honor
Congress, and d—n the King.”
An officer nearby approached him
in a threatening manner, demanded
him to sit down and behave himself,
.or he would have him put out of the
building. “Let the landlubber.” ex-
claimed the sailor. “s'top honoring the
King; and if he says it again I’ll go
and pull him out of his ‘bunk.”—Ncw
