and the effect that truly of a very en-
trancing dr.eam
The fist was a wood; scene near
Athtns and the gardens of Theseus;
the second a scene in Athens and
Quince’s “players.”
In act second there was a fine scene
ofa wood by moonlight, and in act
third the scenery was much the same
as in act one.
The musical selections were from
Mendelssohn, including beautiful bai-
lets and
wedding march as an overture. .
Fairy March and Ballet, and Chorus:
“Your Spotted Snake,” introduCed in
Act II. Chorus: “Through the House
Give Glimmering Light,” and Fairy
Dance, in Act III with Miss May

A Midsummer Night’s Dream was
cleverly portrayed.

The criminal common pleas court
came in Tuesday at Bridgeport to wind

year. Judge R. Jay Walsh was not able
to attend so Judge George P. Carroll
of the Biidgeport city couit was call-

What perhaps will be the most im-

who were arrested 1n Darien for play-
ing golf on Sunday,
The gentlemen who were captured
by the county constable and hauled
up before a. country justice were Wil-
bur 'L. Baldwin, James Jenkins and
Marion Phelps. The country justice
found them guilty of violating the Sun-
day law in engaging in sports and pas—
times. Hc imposed a moderate fine
with a warning not to do it again;
But the followers of the Scotch game
were not satisfied with this decision
and they took an appeal to this court.
It was Gheld that playing golf on Sun-
day was not. in violatiOn of any law and
it could only be' called healthful re-
creation, the same as bicycle riding,
carriage riding and. trolley trips.

ANGRY PASSIONS.
Naromake Enlarges on the Exasperations
Causing Anger Degrading Ones’
Character. A
There are times in this world when
we are so exasperated that our better
judgment Eand our kindlier feelings
are made subservient to a hasty out-
burst of anger, which when we reflect
upon it, brings a flush of shame to our
cheeks and a. keen and poignantiegret -
into our hearts.
In those moments of anger, how-
ever, we are apt to be truthful —un-
pleasantly so—forgetting the tact that
has all along made us keep locked
within us the mean and disagreeable ;
things we know about others, failing to
recognize the fact that they know
equally mean and disagreeable things
about us and that they would be quite
justified in being as spiteful to us as
We are to them.
This giving way to anger is truly
demoralizing. It leaves a sting that.
we can never obliterate. It belitties
us in our own thoughts and in the esti4
mation of others. It brings about un-
happiness. It is productive of tears.
But it is absolutely necessary some
times.
If we were never to give vent to the,
bottled up feelings that almost over-
whelm us at times, the restraint would
be more than mind or bodyq‘ould“ stand.
Let us, however, ende‘a'vqr to reduce
anger to reason, making ownstatements '
calmly and dispasswpately With no
thought of mtlice or meanness, telling '
truths-unpleasant ones, if heed be—
with a qu1et air of convictign that
hasn’ t the fireworks quality of; a blaze
of anger.
Then We needn’ t in looking back
upon it regret that we spOke qgi'm minds
freely and fairly, be the result what. it
may. .
