Bridgeport, too, is evidently unappro-
ciaiive of good opera, judging from this
from the New: “Manager Baker, of the
Bennett A: Moulton comic opera company
says he shall not bring his best company
to Bridgeport again right away. He eVi-
dcntly thinks Bridgeport people do not
appreciate what he Offered thema few
days ago and is right. There should have

ance.”
Thirteen years ago Miss Julia Powell, a

coughing the pin, badly rusted andworn,
was ejected from her mouth. A violent
hemorrhage ensued, but since that time
Miss Powell has very much improved in
health.
There is some “sarcastickism” from the
Norwalk correspondent of the Southport
Advertiser: "It is surprising to see so

soon to hear that skillful engineers from
abroad have been up there to sketch the
curves and obtain new ideas on straight
lines.” ,

The Standard says: “It is reported on
good authority that a daily evening pa per
is to be soon started in Smith Norwalk
under the management of the Sentinel of
that city.” We have not learned from
Editor Golden that this report is true, but
if the time is ripe for a daily paper in
Norwalk—and in point of population, in-
dustry, wealth, etc., it would certainly
seem that she should handsomely support
one~the Sentinel people, we are sure, can
keep it moving if anybody can.
Rev. MiclinciAF. Kelly, rector of the St.
Augustine Roman Catholic church died at
his residence in Bridgeport Sunday morn-
ing aftera long and painful illness. He
became unconscious Friday morning and
remained so until his death. He was
forty-two years of age. In 1874 he was
appointed rector of the cathedral in Hart-
ford aud after four years was transferred
to Windsor Locks where he remained
until 1884, when he was again transferred
to St. Augustine’s parish in Bridgcpprt
upon the death of Rev. T. J. Synnott.
The state fair at Mcriden last week, was
a great success in cveryway. Ten thou.
sand pcOple were on the grounds Thurs—
day. There was great competition among
Jersey cattle owners. The honors were
carried off by the herd of the Cherry park
company of Cheshire, which, in addition
to money prizes for individual cattle, took
the society’s first premium for best herd,
and also $100 cash prize Offered by the
American Jersey cattle club of New York
for best herd. President James A. Bill,
of Lyme, took about all .thc prizes for
shot-horn cattle.
The Bennett 8!. Moulton 'Opcra 00.no-
der the management of George A. Baker,
opened the week in Music Hall Monday
night, with “Robert Macairc,” which by
the way is in reality “Ermnic.” A packed
house greeted this excellent company and
witnessed a splendid performance. Lim-
ited time and space preclude an extended
notice which the company deserves, but
but it must be mentioned that Miss Della
Fox, the young and beautiful prima donna
acquitted herself with charming grace as
Rosamond, and’sccured rounds of tumult-
uous applause. Charles Bigelow as
Jacques Strop,§the thief, showed himself a
comedian of natural originality and tact,
and his pal Robert Macairc, by Tom Rick-
etts, was presented with enjoyable exag-
gerated dignity and tragedian-like power.
The whole cast and choruses were first-

magazine. During this period the author
of the “Hoosier Schoolmaster” has written
no fiction except two or three short stories.
But tempted by the dramatic possibilities
of a popular version of a trial in which
Abraham Lincoln was a chief actor, Mr.
Eggleston has now returned to his old
field and written a new novel of western
life entitled “The Graysons, a Story of
Illinois." The story is said to be marked
by humorous character-drawing, strong
and exciting situations, and a sympathetic
understanding of the country and people
described. The novel was written before
any part of the life of Lincoln, by Messrs.
Nicolay and Hay, had been published, and
the appearance at this time of Mr. Lincoln
as an important auxiliary character in a
work of fiction is a pure coincidence.
At the opening of the first day of the
fair, this morning, a goodly number of
people were on hand early, including a
number of exhibitors who busied them-
selves in arranging their various displays
of farm products, mechanical contrivances,
fancy work, etc. Fast horsgs sped around
the track for exercise, curiosity seekers
strolled leisurely through the buildings
and among the fakirs’ stands. The fair
promises to bc a successful one in point of
extent and excellence of exhibits, many of
the displays eclipsing those of previous
years. Messrs. Hall and Read, of Bridge-
port, are,'as usual, on hand with dazzling
exhibits, and our local merchants are
there with better displays than ever.
Clothicr Comstock, as was expected,
makes a splendid show of his goods,
Hoyt, Glover &. Olsen, and the Star Shoe
Store display the latest styles in foot gear,
Blackman shows fine photographic work,
etc. A more extended report will be
given next week of the fair and exhibits.

livcred an address at a meeting of the New

“Blessyou, my child, get married if you
want to and pool salaries. There is no
law or ruling under this administration to
force you to resign when you marry.”
This is the remark made by Secretary
Faircliild when a “frank and attraciive"
treasury clerk told him she was engaged
to a fellow clerk but couldn’t live on his
salary if she had to resign and give up her
own.
Philip Catfcry and Frank Calfery,

brought before J usticc Coolidge, who
found them guilty and fined them, the to-
tal amount of fines .and costs figuring up
about $30.

Mu. EDITOR :—-Apropos of Mr. Ander—
son’s sermon last Sunday morning, I would
like to enter a protest against those cigar-
cttc smokers who offer to initiate smaller
boys into the vile habit. If half-grown
boys and men choose to dwarf their bodies,
minds and souls by using the above-men-
tioned disgusting article, at least let them
keep the crime “at home" and not offer
to induce innocent children into the same
paths of danger. We speak thus strongly
because we happen to know that this thing
is done, and our own children, scarcely
out of the nursery, are not safe from the
allurcments of those who are slowly but
surely killing themselves. A MOTHER.

Judge Birdsall, editor of the Hartford
Telegram, had a narrow escape at athe
Bridgeport depot Wednesday afternoon.
He attempted to board a moving train for
Westport, encumbered with a valise and
cane. He managed to get a grip on one
handle of the car, but the train was mov-
ing so rapidly that he was unable to swing
himself on. A brakeman came out of the
car door, grasped him and pulled him
aboard, cane, satchel and all. The won-
der is he was not dashed against one of
the iron posts on the depot platform.
‘Rcv. Col. Anderson, Department Chap-
lain Of the G. A. R. of Connecticut, “laid
on our table" for editorial approval Wed-
nesday morning on ebony walking cane,
surmounted with a magnificent gold
crook, elaboratelyornamcntcd with Grand
Army emblems and war-like devices,
which was presented to him by Elias Howe
Post, of Bridgeport, on Tuesday evening.
It bears on the band‘ at the base of the
.crook, the simple inscription: “001. Ed-
ward Andcrson.” It wasa worthy tribute
worthily bestowed, and the pious warrior
is justly proud of it, and is now seldom
seen on the streets without this beautiful
“visible means of support.”
The Rev. Col. Anderson is a man of
business. Besides getting up three or
four‘sermons every week, which would
be well worthy of publication in the relig-
ious columns of the RECORD; marrying
people; buryingpcoplc; conductingprayer
meetings, class meetings, etc.; enlivening
social gatherings with his wit and clo-
quencc, always new and always refreshing,
he finds time to serve as chaplain and
write up an elaborate and exhaustive log
of the Neptune Club’s cruise; perform
the laborious work of compiling the re-
ports of > all the G. A.,R. Posts in the state
on Memorial Day Observances, as Depart-‘

contained in a package of fooiscap manu-
script four inches thick—and attending to
other duties and pastimes more or less la-
borious, besides making 00 or 70 pastoral
visits each week. Yet he systematizes his
work so that he never seems hurried, and
always has time to stop and chat pleasant-

flicted, congratulate the fortunate, tell a
worldly story or crack a funny joke.
The Danbury Fair.
The nineteenth annual fair of the Dan-
bury Agricultural society takes place on
October 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. It is
the great county fair of the United States.
Figures show that it has a much greater
attendance of visitors than the state fair
receives. Every year the number increas-
es, aud at the last exhibition there were
nearly fifty thousands of persons. It has
visitors and exhibitors from New York,
Boston, Albany and other distant points.
It is the fair of New England, and in the
number and novelty of its exhibits, the
army of its pcdlars and showmen and the
host of people (embracing every phase of
human nature) who flock there, the Dan-
bury Fair is one of the most interesting
and exciting occasions to be found any-
where. ,

The Danbury and Norwalk Railroad

act when the gate was placed at the
Marshall street crossing, but it is not very
wise or generous to compel their “Bram-
ble" to sit or stand without having a house
for shelter in the stOrm.
A gentleman while gathering catnip was
accosted by passcrs-by as to what purpose
it was to be used. He answered: This
is the strong kind, which is good for many
ailments, and was being secured for use
after tlicnext election, as probably there
would be many afflicted with the heart-
ache."
When the many large buildings for
stores and factories are completed, and
the houses now under. contract are

or corpogntion.
