Miss Grace H.Dodge Spoke
Upon the Subject at the.
Central Club House.
~ MANY CLUBS PRESENT.
Mrs. James G. Gregory Presided and Greeted
the Several Clubs in 21 Pretty Speech.
Miss Grace H. Dodge, of New York,
the distinguished philanthropist, spoke
at the Central Club yesterday upon the
work of the Consumer’s League. She
is so widely known that the mere an-
nouncement that she would speak en-
sured an audience, and the Central
Club had issued invitations to the five
Federated Clubs of the town, and to
the Business VVoman’s League.
Thus the full capacity of the pretty
assembly room was tested, and it was
found‘to be fully up to the estimate as'
to scatingcapacity. Mrs. James Glynn
Gregory, President of the Central Club,
was in the Chair. In presenting the
topic oflthe day she greeted the Feder-
' ated Clubs and extended to them a‘
cordial welcome to the new home of
the club. She spoke of the growing in-
terest among women’s clubs in indus-
trial and economic conditions.
She said that heretofore when one
made one’s purchases the thought up-
permost. in one’s minds had been to
make the best bargain, but that the
Consumer’s League proposed to change
these selfish thoughts and to substitute
the idea of doing as much good as pos-
sible by the expenditure of one-‘s money.
She said that the. subject was a far-
rea‘c‘ning one, and” that its thorough
study and careful consideration was
but one of the many ways in which the
‘geuerous woman who was. to speak had
spent her time and effort for the better-
ment of the race.
Miss Dodge is a. woman of magnifi-
Cent proportions and one’s instant im-
pression is that of a big-souled, broad-
minded personality. Her atmosphere
is one of power, and it is easy to see
why she has become the idol of the
girls she. has spent years in helping, it
1350 evident that she loves them and
their cause devotedly.
She presented with clear-ness the
idea of the Consumer’s League, and
described in a 'most engaging manner
some of the reasons why it should be
supported. what it
calls a "\Vhite List” of such stores in
New York as give to their employees

Norwalk Iron Works Sends a Big Air Com-
pressor to cripple Creek.
The big Norwalk Air Compressor
which is now being shipped to the Isa-
bella mine at Cripple Creek, Col. is
probably the most efficient machine of
this description in the camp. It has a
. large drill capacity rated at the high
altitude pressure, which is calculated
on a basis of 10,000 feet above the sea
level.
This compressor is 22x24, and while
not the largest manufactured by this
firm, still has a very large capacity.
It is guaranteed to run 11 large three-
inch drills and, as can be readily under-
stood by this rating, would run a very
much larger number of smaller or stop-
ing drills. The compressor has many
. admirable features to rpeommend it be-
sides that of great capacity.
T e workmanship is, of course, of the
veryllinest, and it is also very compact,
which is attested to by the fact that
they are very largely used in the
United States navy. This particular
compressor for the Isabella is com-
pound in both steam and air, and has
four cylinders in tandem on one con-
tinuous bed. Between the high and
low pressure steam cylinders is located
a re-‘neatin'g, device and between the
intake and compressing air cylinders
is an intereooler, both of which devices
brings up the N orwalk Compressor to
the highest condition of efficiency and
power with the smallest consumption
of steam pressure. The compressor is
equipped with a condenser and the fly
wheels are made with gear faces per-
mitting the driving of the compressor
by electric motors, either alone or in
conjunction with steam. It has aca-
pacity of 840 cubic feet‘of air in it and
is especially constructed for high alti-
tude work.
AMU EMENTS
- The-Real Widow Brown...
Odd and laughable complications
arising from mistaken identity in The
Real Widow Brown, the reigning farce-
comedy success, will furnish amuse-
ment lovers a merry and thoroughly
enjoyable evening at Hoyt’s Theatre,
on Friday evening. This is a novelty
in farcical plays, in that it tells a most
amusing story and that it really has a
plot. The company engaged to inter-
pret the various roles in The Real
Widow Brown is strong and comprises
some of the best known fun-makers in
the theatrical world. Of course there
are specialties—good ones, too—em-
bracing the latest in music, songs, dan-
es and medleys.

Sharon. president.
The 90th anniversary will be observed

them the “Confederation of the
Church,” now widely pressing to the
front, will find a prominent place.

The four year old daughter, Clara, of
Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Osborn of Academy
street, was out playing yesterday after-
noon with a number of little compan-
ions. About 4 o’clock she wentxinto
the hous. and said she felt sick. Dr.
Gregory was sent for and did.every-
thing that could be done, but’the child
lived only a few minutes after his ar-
rival. The doctor pronounced her ill-
ness a case of su-nstroke.
The funeral will be held this after-
noon and the remains taken to River-

AWAY ‘th anus
Chimney in' East Nor-
walk. '
BIG AS A TABLE."
Jumped From the House and Demolished a
Fence.
A refreshin and welcome shower
passed over Norwalk about (5 o’clock
last evening. The storm was of short
duration, but there was plenty of it for
a while and it settled the dust that had
been dying at will through the streets
for the past three weeks, to the dis-
comfiture of the public.
About 5 , o’clock- the sky which had
been clear all day began to thicken in
the west and rain came most unex-
pectedly. The rain had an electrical
accompaniment, just enough ‘to make
it interesting. The lightning flashed
for a' while and there were several
crashes of thunder.. The rain fell in
torrents for at least half an hour and
then it cleared off beautifully. The
sun burst forth just before .it was due
to set and was'strikingly brilliant. Ev-
erything was fresh and clean.
About 6:15 there was a deafening
crash of thunder preceded by a bolt of
light ling Which struck the chimney of
Charles H. Rider’s house at No. 11 Got-
tage avenue, East Norwalk, scattering
the bricks in all directions and filling
the rooms on the first floor with soot.
After demolishing the chimney the
lightning jumped from the house to
the fence at thelside of the house and
tore' it into splikrftelifs... V
Mrs. Rider, who is ill and had just
returned from a visit to Port Jefferson,
L. 1. yesterday, was sitting at the win-
dow and saw the bolt of fire as it de-
scended from the fence. She described
it as being as big as a table.
Chief Engineer Fred M. W’heeler of
the East Norwalk lire department oc-
cupies the lower part of the Rider
house, and as soon as he recovered
from the surprise caused bythc fall of
bricks and soot, rushed up stairs to as-
certain if the house. was on fire, but
luckily it had escaped. ' ,.

The Gospel of Work.
\Ye have been favored by Mr. George
the New York Central railrdad, with
establishment of East Aurora, N.- Y.
lts title is “A Message to Garcia,” and
its author is the brilliant writer, Elbert
M. Hubbard. The amount of common
sense, worldly wisdom, and every-day
philosophy contained in its scant, but
beautiful, eleven pages, and which lie
beneath its jocose banter, form 11. mar-
velous little social homily which those
who labor at‘anything, with hands or
head, will appreciate, and only those;
yet its perusal must awake a glimmer
of thought in the dullest. Get it; read
it;take it to heart. This “'preachment,”
we learn, is reprinted for Mr. Daniels
from the March Philistine, already
out of print. It is issued by the' Cen-
Series,”and, to the number of one
hundred thousand, is being sent to
teachers, clergym'en, and other civiliz-
ing minds of the community, not to
advertise the great New York Central,
which does not need it, but simply and
purely in the well-founded belief that
it will benefit the younger generation.
We agree with a leading New York
divine, who says: “It is Gospel truth,
every word of it; its publication will do
great good,”—acd those into whose
hands it shall come will be quick to
recognize their indebtedneSs to Mr.
Hubbard, to Mr. Daniels, and perhaps
to the Home Journal for direct-
ing attention to it.—Home Journal, N.
Y., April 12, .1899.

Lightning Causes a Fire at the Saugatuck
Bridge.
During the storm last night light-
ning followed the wires into the cable
house situated at the eastern end of
the Saugatuck bridge, setting fire to
' the building. which was entirely des-
troyed. .
The house burned rapidly and before
the flames could be extinguished the
cables were destroyed.
The fire caused a delay of about twen-
ty minutes to the trains on the Con-
solidated railroad.
‘ At one time it was feared that the
railroad bridge would take fire, but the
volunteer bucket brigade prevented
the flames from communicating with
the bridge.
Men are at work to—day putting in
new cables and the damage will soon
be repaired.

NORWALK’S CHANCES.
The Committee Will Visit Norwalk and Nor-
{wich Before Rendering Decision.
The committee on humane institu-
tions heard yesterday the arguments
in the matter of additional accommodal
tions for the insane. The hearing oc-
cupied all of the afternoon.
Ex-Representutive J. Belden Hurl-
butt of Norwalk expatiated on the ad—
vantages of' the proposed site at Nor-
walk, and his remarks received the
earnest attention of the committee.
Arthur L. Shipman presented the
side of the homeopaths who desire a
state hospital for the insane to be es-
tablished, under the direction of .that
school of practice.
Ex-Senator Lucius Brown of Nor-
wich urged the claims of Norwich’to
have an asylumon the banks of the
Thames, as recommended by the state
commission on the subject. I
Dr. E. B. Hooker of Hartford, also
laddressed the committee in favor of
the homeopathic asylum and against
any enlargement at Middletown.
This closed the arguments and the
committee will give two days more to
the question, going to Norwich one
day and then coming to Norwalk to
lock over the proposed sites, after-
which they will render a report. I
From all indications it is thought
that Norwalk stands the better chance
of securing the new building.

Saturday, in Newburgh N. Y.,‘ and
whose funeral ceremonial was held in
the Congregational church Monday af-
ter noon, was a native of VVestport, and
one of the original members of the
church which was established in 1832.
She was a daughter of Edward Jesup,
brother to Ebenzer Jesup early in the
century president of the old Bridgeport
bank, and was born in the ancient
house which during Revolutionary war
an inn or tavern where, Washington
once put up and which was torn away
to form a site for Memorial church of
the Holy Trinity. She was the second
cousin of Mr. MorrisK. Jesup of New
York who is also a native of VVestport.
Miss Jesup joined the, Greens Farms
church in 1828, four years before there
was a church of any kind in ' what was
then known as Saugatuck, and when
the Congregational church here was
erected joined that as stated, and had
been an attendant there through life
or, until her recent removal to New-
burgh. . .>
