A fashionable wedding atBridgeport
Wednesday evening was the marriage of
Charles Barnum Read, grand nephew of
P. T. Barnum, and Miss Eleanor Landon
Atkinson, eldest daughter of Mrs. John S.
Atkinson,and a well-known young society
woman at Bridgeport. About 1,200 invi-

g The Berkshire News last week exhausted
all the capital “M’s” in the office in put-
ting in type another elaborate assault on
“Mrs. Maria McGinty and her nine chil-
dren,” of which John Wade is the fath—
the author. In consequence of the ex-
haustion, the printers, in setting up some
of the locals, were obliged to exercise
their ingenuity in improvising capital M’s,
which they did by reversing the capital
U, with startling effect, as shown in the
announcement that a dramatic company
is billed there to produce “floute Cristo”
and “Dr. Jekyll and 111'. Hyde.” This is
sonewhat of a mongrel combination, but
such things [just be resorted to some-
times.

and requesting that he be detained if found

Necessary Precautions.
In view of the prevailing illustrated
biographical correspondence which is im-
mortalizing the “prominent” people of
the suburban town where large numbers
of New York Sunday papers are sold, the
following from a western paper would
seem to be peculiarly scasonable :—
“Be you the photograph taker?” inquir-
ed a man immediately after shutting him-
self insidc of a St. Paul gallery.
“Yes, sir. Can we give you a sitting
“A which ?”
“Can we take your picture?” answered
é,
«- the artist,.sceing at once that this was a
person to be mollified- only by pureand
undcfiled English, devoid of artificial and
technical toilet. .
“Wall, that’dcpcntls. Ef you kin give
me satisfactory assurance p’raps you may.
Otherwise not.”
“ What assurance do you want ?”
“It’s this way: I had my picture looks
couple of months ago, and ther next week
I seen it in a newspaper wuth the state—
ment that l wos down flat on my back with
complaint, hives, ring worm, gallopin’ con-
sumption, paralysis, lock jaw, scald head,
inflammatory rhumatiz, catarrh, falling
sickness, brownchitus, cholera morbus and
smallpox. They said I took eight bottles
of medicine and gained twenty pounds of
flesh with every bottle. Now, if you won’t
ring any such a snap in on me I might
chance her agin. I’ve raised a beard now,
an’ if the picture won’t look like the
medicine soaker, an’ you kin give me the
assurances, you may p’int the commerer.”
"l‘he “assurances” were given.

In reply to the question, “At what age
should a woman marry?” the Sun says:
“At just the age when the man she loves
with all her heart and soul makes the pro-
posal.” From which it may be inferred
that the Sun refuses to recognize woman’s
leap year pre-rogative to do her own pop-
plug.

The Wyoming legislators propose to
levy a tax on all unmarried men over
thirtydive years of age—Exchange.
This will give them their choice of four
alternatives: they may adopt the proverb-
ial feminine tactics and lie about their age,
or they may get out of the state, or they
may get married and settle down, or stay
single and settle up. In any event this
action of the Wyoming legislature will
furnish an argument for debating soci-
eties: if matrimony absolves a man from
paying a tax, then marriage is not a
failure.

The Spectator a.publisalies a number of
contributions from people who have dis-
covered remedies for sleeplessness, which
are interesting. An English curate writes
that he can get to sleep by getting up,
drinking a half a glass of water, and
walking around the room. Another writer
advises: “Do something in the evening
that does not excite you; something like
whist, that does itself mechanically.” It
is evident that this writer doesn’t know
much about whist—not as it is played at
the Norwalk Club, where it doesn’t “do
itself mechanically,” especially with the
amateurs who tackle the crack players.
Another contributor recommends any per-
son who cannot get to sleep, to keep his
eyelids closed and fix his gaze resolutely
downward, toward the foot of the bed.
Apint of hot water drank regularly before
each meal and one the last thing before
retiring, is the remedy offered by a cor-
respondent who describes himself as “a
wretched her-awake of 35 years standing.”
Boiling water by the tankful would sug-
gest itself as the proper treatment for this
wretched standing licr awake or asleep.
Joe Barbour’s Explanation.
The New York Herald’s Sunday issue,
in some stories of the Hartford bar, tells
the following as given to its reporter by
Judge J. Hurlbut Whiic:-—
Governor Sill and Joe Barbour were try-
ing a case the other day, in which Barbour
gave rap for rap. Barbour called to the
stand as a witness one Mr. Bugg.- Sill‘
looked up with an amused smlle and ex-
claimed sotto coca, “Say, Barbour, why
don’t be write his name with a y?” Bar-
hour’s reply came like a shot, “Probably
for the same reason that you don’t, Gov-
crnor.”

’ Pioneer Hook and Ladder company are
to be congratulated for'lhc double reason
that their efforts to subdue the late fire
near the depot are appreciated. and that
from the fact that their appeals to citizens
for funds to buy a new apparatus have
met with a hearty response. But above
all. are they fortunate in the assurance
personally expressed that the New Ha-
ven railroad’s president, Mr. Charles P.
Clark, is mindful of the service they ren-
dered in saving property of the road he
represents. A few days ago, after the
boys had circulated a subscription and
secured pledges for $500, with which to
buy a new machine, the sum needed being
$660, an appeal was made to purchasing
agent Henry A. Bishop, through Mr. E.
M. Lees, of this place, for a contribution.
They did not dare to hope for more than
$25. Mr. Bishop referred the matter to
Superintendent (Shepard, and he in turn
to President Clark, who, as soon as he
was enlightened as to the facts authorized
Mr. Bishop to say to Mr. Lees for the boys
that the Consolidated would donate the
last $100 required, thus completing the
sum they needed. Mr. Lees got the letter
Friday evening and told the boys about it.
They were delighted, and will at once set
about making the purchase. The appar-
atus now in use by them was obtained
mainly through Mr. Ambrose S. Hurlbutt,
of the Norwalk Pioneers, dirt cheap as
things were ten or twelve years ago, but
it has always been too heavy and cumber-
some on the rough highways, hills and
doles of this town. What they want is a
lighter and more modern appliance, and
when they get it, fires will stand a poor
chance to make much headway. The
Pioneers will soon meet and pass resolu-
tions thanking President Clark for his
gift.
Mr. Henry R. Treadwell, of New York,
formerly of this town, and a member of
Temple Lodge, No. 65, F. and A. M., has
presented to the lodge what may be
termedacuriosity, and a valuable one,
only one like it being in existence. It is a
combination of Bible and Masonic views,
texts and familiar quotations relating to
the Masonic craft commingled and arrayed
on a sheet of paper 3%, feet by 4; feet, in a
fine frame, in a very artistic and appro-
priate way. The work is very ancient,
probably executeda hundred years ago,
and all of it can be traced and read. The
lodge, at its communication last Thurs-
day, received and accepted the gift, and
it will form a conspicuous feature among
the adornments of the lodge room.
The Saugatuck Valley Creamery Com~
pony has been organized with these direc-

Mr. Allen Renoud offers $100 reward
for the arrest and conviction of the per-

plied the match to combustibles in a rear
room with design to destroy the premises.
A daughter of Mrs. Pitzer discovered the
fire and gave an alarm. Joseph Frey,
who lives near, and Edward Lehn, the
baker. rushed to the spot and soon extin-
guished the flames. It was a narrow es-
cape as, occurring at 6 a. m., the entire
village was placcdm danger of destruc-
tion.

son’s blacksmith shop. The cost approxi-
mates $3,000 and is deemed cheap. There

worthy of the attention of the, selectmen.
