The Haymahers at Music Hall.
In the presentation of the cantata of the
Haymakers at Music Hall last Friday
evening, our Methodist brethren, assisted
by the South Norwalk Baptist church,
gave us an entertainment which was
worthy of more than passing mention.
Though those producing the cantata were
amateurs in the strict sense of the word,
for acting and for harmony of voices they
have never been excelled and seldom
equalled by any professional troupe that
ever played in Norwalk. The stage setting,
due to the indefatigable energy and good
taste of Mr. William H. Earle, were ex-
ceptionally fine and every thing moved Off
smoothly and there/was no perceptible
hitch. The costumes of the ladies were
elegant and appropriate and added a large
percentage to the success of the Opera.
The gentlemen, dressed in their “over-
alls” made good looking farm hands,
while the irrepressible Many maid an
exceptionally flue dude and bore hispart
with commendable skill. g'Miss Jennie
Nash made an excellent dairy maid and
acted and sung well. Mr. Treadwell was
anidealfmvn hand as was Mr. Price a
typical'farmer. In fact the entire caste
of the cantata was far in excess of the
highest expectations. The more promi-
nent of the selections and those deserving
of especial mention were the duct “Sweet
Morn, how lovely is thy face," by Misses
Annie Nickerson and Alice Selleck; the
chorus “With step firm and steady,”
which brought down the house, as did
also “Toss it hither, toss it thither”;
“The birds have sought the forest shade,”
a solo by Miss Alice Selleck was exquisite
and elicited much applause; the chorus
of “Way down on the Swanee River" was
touchingly beautiful, as was also “Home.
some! home; “In the West the sun
declincth" a solo, by Miss Lizzie Poyvcz
was exquisitely sung, the youngdady be-
traying a rarely beaiutiful high soprano
voice; the trio chorus to the song was also
pretty; “A du‘ry maid am I" by Miss
J ennic Nash was the signal for hearty ap-
plause and an encore; “Softly the twilight
fades" was a very fine piece of chorus
singing; “Mary, love, the world reposes,"
a tenor solo by John H. Treadwell, was
excellent, and the banjo playing (by some
unknown player) was good; the chorus
“Goodmorning” was also finely executed;
one of the finest gems of the evening, was
hocher, the solo, “Scenes of happiness,
I love ye," which was sung by Miss Lizzie
Poyvez in a manner and voice not to be
expected from an amateur; the quartette
“How good is He, the Giver," was finely
rendered as was the tenor solo “How
hushed and still," by H. P. Price; the
bass solo, “Now creaks the heavy wagon"
by Phil Knapp, was excellently rendered
and received a hearty encore; the net
“Lo, the clouds are breaking" by liss
Poyvez and Mr. Treadwcll was also the
recipient of deserved applause.
Altogether, there was everything to
praise and nothing to condemn. From rise
to fall of curtain everyone was spelLbound
and the musical voices furnished an even-
ing of pleasure never. excelled. Our
Methodist friend! speak Of carrying the
cantata to Bridgeport, Stamford and Dan-
bury, if the proper arrangements can be
made. If our neighboring cities desire to
hearamusical gem delivered in an ex-'
quisite manner they will ;'offer every in-
ducement towards securing the opera for
one or more evenings. ,
In Memos-lam.
Miss Reba Cotter, notice of whose death
was made last week, was a young lady of
more than usual sweetness of character
and was endeared to her young friends in
a manner that savored of the most pro-
found afl'ection. Allthroughher long and
painful sickness she was patient and
enduring and no complaint ever issued
from her lips. To herparents and friends
she was like a bright ray of sunshine
which, though crossing their path but for
a day stiIleavcs its effect in the lesson
taught and in the bright hopes of a future
reunion. Her death was more like a
translation from earth to heaven, than the
mere departure of a spirit from its frail
abiding place.. And truly the green grass
never opened to receive a lovelier burden
than was laid in its embrace when weep-
ing parents and friends laid their cherish-
edione to rest. And it was rest, for be-
side God‘s throne and in the beateous
paths of his immortal garden she watches
and waits for those Of her loved ones still
fighting earth's weary battles. Free from
sorrow and pain she ;has entered the
heavenly gates, and there in the matchlcss
glory of the Redeemer she sings praises
around her Father’s throne.
W
Honors to Our Dead Heroes.
A special effort will be made the present
week to collect a contribution from the
citizens of Norwalk towards dcfraying the
expense of erecting the soldiers memorial
mOnument at Gettysburg. The movement
was patriotically inspired and inaugurated
by the surviving members of Fairfield
county’s favorite regiment, the old 17th
Conn. Vols. The stone has been ordered
and will be placed and dedicated in July
in honor of the dead comrades of the 17th
who fell in that crucial battle of the
rebellion. Other towns in the county have
subscribed liberally; and it is to hode
Norwalk, where two companl s were
raised for this regiment, will show-equal
libcrality and zeal. Five hundred dollars
at least, ought to be contributed by
patriotic hearts and hands, in the borough
and city during the present week. Wo
hope the canvass may be thorough and
efficient, and we believe our town will take
patriotic pride enough in the memorial
enterprise to maintain its well deserved
reputation for liberality and loyalty.
W
Rev. John A. Hamilton.
The many friends of the late pastor of
the First church of Norwalk will be pleased
with the following announcement in the
Congregaflomlist of May 15th:
The board of directors of the College and
Education Society have voted to nominate
Rev. John A. Hamilton (formerlv of Keene, N.
H., and Norwaik, Ct., and a brother of Rev. B.
F. Hamilton of Boston) to the approaching
annual meeting of the society as a suitable
and, as those who snow Mr. Hamilton best rec-
ommend , him strongly for this work, this
person to succeed Dr. Tarbell as secretary;
nomination would seem to be equivalent to an
election.
Mr. Hamilton's christian gentlemanli-
ness and devotion, his knowledge of men,
his executive ability, energy and his or,
quaintance to its business eminently qual.
ify him for the position proposed.

Wasnrsorou, May. 19th, 1884.
Dean zeu'rrn :—Interest in legislation
here last week was very slight compared
with the engrossing solicitude that even
congressmen took in the Wall street panic.
Thousands of letters and telegrams were
sent officers of the Treasury, and to
senators and representatives. These were
mostly eOmmotions of apprehension and
inquiry and came from all quarters of the
Union, although the appeals for govern-
ment aid came mainly from New York.
While it was not felt that Congress or the
, U. S. Treasury had or should have any-
thing tO do to help insane or dishonest
speculators in Wall street out of their
scrape, yet it was their duty to help 'the
innocent and save thfin from loss ' in all
legal ways. Fortunately the secretary of
of the Treasury chanced to be in New
York during the flurry, and discovering
that actual money could not be borrowed
securities, ordered eight millions in legal
tenders to be sent over for use should
emergency demand; So that it turned
out that from a firm of juvenile idiots
failing the loss of confidence became so
wide-spread that banks fearing a run from
depositors dared not loan their money on
the bonds of the United States. The feel-
ing seems now well nigh universal that
the House should now, after its long
dday, take up the banking bills and deal
with them on their merits. If relief is
ever to be extended to the banks, now is
the time. Members should recall the
legal adage that justice delayed is often
justice denied, and do what they do
quickly. The failure Of 'Fipk & Hatch
was the most serious interruption to a
return of confidence as they were sup-
posed to deal mostlargely in governments.
It is explained that their misfortune was
caused because of their inability to get
greenbacks to pay drawing depositors
who wanted money, although they had
U. S. bonds to pledge for the currency.
But this firm has had no connection with
the fools or scoundrels in broadcloth, the
ugly revelations of whose sinuous finan-
cial practices have so shaken confidence
'in all speculative stock dealings on “mar-
gins." If no serious interruption to gen-
eral and legitimate business occurs it will
be largely because this disturbance has
been long forseen, and those whose in-
terests are involved have had time to pre-
pare for it. For two years, certainly, and
possibly longer, there has been a steady
shrinka'gdrom the high-water mark of
speculation. Business men have had
abundant warning, and, as a rule, have
availed themselves of it to shorten sail.
Goods have been bought only as needed,
and stock has been cleared out at a sacri-
fice rather than held on a venture" In-
vestors have had ample notice of a coming
storm, and have more gradually disposed
0f their speculative holdings, leaving the
brokers to feed on one another instead of
a confidlng outside public. The banks
have appreciated the situation, and, ex-
cept where they were intimately bound up
with broker interests, have pursued a
conservative policy.
For these reasons the country is in a
much better financial condition than when
former panics struck it. The chief danger
at present lies in the lack of confidence in
the personal integrity of those who hold
responsible business trusts. Repeated
revelations of fraud have shaken faith in
corporations and great capitalists. The
country is in good condition generally,
and those who get possession of what they
buy and are able to deliver what they sell
have no occasion to worry. What becomes
of the fellows who bet on the probable
prices of stocks, grain and provisions, as
gamblers do on the turn of a card or the
result Of a horse race, makes little differ-
ence to the people who honestly. earn their
living in legitimate business and live with—
in their means. '
Senator Cullom has introduced the
following bill to prevent officers Of national
banks from speculating in stocks, grains,
Or oil :— '
Be ileum-ted 430., That it shall be unlawful
for the president, cashier, teller, or other chief
executive officer of any national banking asso-
ciation, having a capital stock of the amount of
$200,000 or more. to deal, trade, or otherwise
engage in speculation in stock, bonds or other
securities, or in grain, provisions, produce, or
oil, on margins, on his own individual account,
or for his own personal profit, either directly
or indirectly, or to have any partnershi or
other financial interest in the operations 0 any
private banking or brokerage firm or business.
Any such officer who Violates the provisions of
this act. or any person who aids or abate such
Ofiicer in violating the provisions of this act,
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall be im risoned not less than one your nor
more than ve years, or fined not more than
$10,000. ‘
The passage Of the above bill may stop
to a large degree the well-known practice
of officers of national banks dealing ill
stock speculations, but just so long as
men will entrust their money to bankers
.to speculate on myths, just go long will
failures and Wall street panics continue.
Mr. J. W. Thompson, filo president of the
National Metropolitan bank in this city,
reputed to be one of the ablest financiers
and most successful business men in
Washington, on being interviewed said
that just soiong as railroads were contin-
ued to be built at an actual cost of from
$20,000 to $80,000 per mile and bonded
for $100,000 as is the current custom of
railroad building now, just so long may
panics in the stock market be expected.
ADJOURNMENT.
The general impression among members
of the House seems to be that Congress
will adjourn early in July, but in the
Senate the idea is that adjournment will
come later. Numerous members refer to
the rushing of three appropriation bills
through the House yesterday as evidence
of a disposition to push business as fast as
practicable. The democrats want to ad-
journ before the meeting Of their national
cOnvention. The Star says :—And now
the ignominious cry goes up, “Pass the
appropriation bills and go home.” But if
Congress does at this time simply “pass
the appropriation bills and go home" it
will have made a record Of absolute failure
and will deserve universal contempt.

. Death of Gerardus 2?. Adams.
The announcement of the death of
Gerardus P. Adams which occurred
Saturday, while not unexpected, caused a
feeling of genuine sorrow here, where he
has lived and been so well-known for
years. For the past week or so it has
been apparent that he would never recover
from. the illness which prostrated him
though it was hoped that his strong and
sturdy constitution would ward off the
telling blows of disease. But it was not
to be, and Saturday morning, calmly and
peacefully, as if falling asleep, he breathed
his last. .
Mr. Adams was born in South Salem,
N.‘Y., January 10, 1827. After serving
an apprenticeship with Adam Moore,
hatter, at Boutonvillc in the town of
Poundridgc, N.Y., be associated himself
in the batting business with Elisllu Com-
stock in New Canaan. A little later the
tinned their business in the factory now
occupied by Crofuf. &.Knapp. ‘This was
abOut thirty years ago. Ten years later
ill company with his brother Edwin be
established himself ill business with the
late Goodrich Holmes, on the site since
occupied by him near the railroad stittion
in South Norwalk. Two years afterwards,
on the. death of Mr. Holmes, the firm name
became “Adams Brothers" as it has re-
msined until the present time. Twice
during the past twenty years the factory
has been burned and rebuilt. Mr. Adams
was a remarkably strong and active man
until attacked last Autumn by the disease
which terminated his life. The nature of
his malady was for a long time obscure,
but it is now proved to have been cancer
of the stomach. During his decline he
has been cheerful and hopeful, and when
it. appeared that the earthly life was nearly
ended, his anticipations of the heavenly
life were bright and joyous. His hallelu-
jahs abounded. The valley was luminous
with the glory of God. And so he fell
asleep. “Allis right," he said, “every-
thing is right."
Mr. Adams has for many years been
intimately and officially connected with
the 2d M. E. church. As superintendent
‘of‘ the Sunday school, class leader, trustee,
etc., he manifested a lively interest in all
that pertained to the church’s welfare, and
was at all times ready to speak for the
Master he loved. In all respects his was-
an exemplary Christian life. On three
different occasions Mr. Adams was elected a
burgess of the borough, and while holding
that ofiice was the cause of many radical
and important improvements. He was
what might be termed a representative
man. Quiet and unostentatious, almost
difiident, ho was always firm for the right,
and his integrity and uprightness were
sexier questioned. Of him might well be

rather disastrously for the Quicksteps

members are actively at work, and have

The Stars will embrace some excellent
material and a good game may be looked
for.
There seems to be an almost universal
wish that the old Main and Wall street
clubs be re-organizcd and set to work.
These clubs were composed of business
men solely and their hard attempts at
playing ball were the source of great
amusement to onlookers. If the Main
street club could be reorganized we are
assured a Wall street nine could be found
to oppose them, and some of our live
merchants hereabouts would, no doubt,
be pleased to donate all appropriate prize
for the nine victorious in a series of
games. Main strcefers,stepup and toe the
