A Business Men’s Excursion.

The New York and New England road
gave a “stag party” to its patrons, Saturday,
and took them by special train from Hart-
ford and by the steamer “Cape Charles”
,from l’Vilson Point to New York city. The
new freight and passenger service which has
recently been put in operation, goes direct
from Springfieldto H'awleyville, ‘.hence by
way of the Housatonic road to lVilson Point
and over Long Island sound to New York.
It secures greater promptness in the deliv-
ery of freight, and business men in Spring-
field can send in their orders to New York
by wire in the afternoon and receive their
goods the following morning. The object
of the excursion was to give business men
and other leading citizens along the route
an Opportunity to inspect the new facilities.

(The decks at Wilson Point and at New

York, and the line of steamers plying be«
tween, are operated under the name of the
New England Terminal company, a recent
organization.

There were over 300 excursionists aboard
the “Cape Charles” when she took her de-
parture from the pier. They had been
picked up all along the route and all had a
“solid” and prosperous appearance, and a
determination to enjoy themselves could
have been read in their countenances.’l‘hose
who had no “politics” to talk, or who were
not drawn by the fresh green beauty of the
Housatonic valley, stretched a rubber at
whist, and there were many “good hands”
throughout the train. Every car was a
smoking car and nearly every man a smok-
er, cigars of a superior flavor being provi-
dcd.

The interested railroad companies were
represented as follows: President, J. A.
Bostwick of New York, ex—Lieut-Gov.
James L. Howard of Hartford, W. H. Star-
buck, General Manager Charles Howard,
General Freight Agent Hubbard, General
Traffic Agent Abrams and General Superin-
tendent A. A. Jackson of the New England
system; President W. H. Stevenson. H. C.
Coggswell, general freight agent, and C. T.
Van 'Alstyne, assistant general freight
agent of the Housatonic road; and C. B. F.
Pond, general freight agent of the Meriden,
Waterbury and Cromwell road. Among
the other prominent men were Mayors Pease
of New Britain, Page of Meriden and Presi-
dent Allen and Secretary P. ll. lVoodward
of the Hartford board of trade.

On board the Cape Charles refreshments
were served upstairs, which were indulged
in with becoming moderation, and in the
dining-rOOm was served an informal dinner,
which was happily not interrupted by
speeches. There was hardly a ripple 0n the
Sound, and the weather was as near perfec-
tion as could have been wished . Thus the
steamer made the journey within her
schedule time of two and one-half hours.
There was an hovr for rest and recreation at
New York, and on the homeward journey a
supper was served. The party were taken
under Brooklyn bridge and viewed the
mammoth span with interest from beneath.
On the homeward journey a committee

properly assumed the duty of‘ drawing up
resolutions of thanks to the New York and
New England company. President Allen of
the Hartford board of trade was the; chair-
man, and J udge Chamberlain and First
Selectman Bassett of New Britain made
speeches. D. S. Plume responded for the
corporation. That was the closing event,
and during the remainder of the journey,
the men who had undoubtedly been “talked

 

out," relapsed into a silence which was only
broken by the card-players.

The Cost of Newspapers.

mea suggestive article on newspa-
pers, by Eugene M. Camp, in the June
Century, we quote as follows: “What is
the total annual cost to the wholesale
purchasers of news—namely, the publish-
ers—of the entire news-product of the
United States? An answer to this ques-
tion would be of interest, but it has never
been answered. For several years I have
been gathering information upon which to
base an estimate. Publishers have uni-
formly extended me every courtesy ;
nevertheless I find it an exceedingly diffi-
cult quantity to arrive at, and for my
figures I do not. claim absolute accuracy.
Publishers in this country annually ex-
pend something near the followmg sums
for news :

 

For press despatches $1,820,000
" special " 2,250,000
" lucalncws 12,500,000

$16,570,000

The business ;of ~the Associated Press,
a mutual concern which pays nothing for
its news, and which serves its patrons at
approxnnate cost, amounts to $1,250,000
per annum; and that of the United Press,
a stock corporation, is 450,000 per annum.
The former aims to provxde news about
all important; events, in which work
$120,000 in telegraph tolls is expended ;
while the latter endeavors, above all else,
to provide accounts of events occurring in
the vicinity of the respective papers serv-

Divided Skirts.

“Washington women are adopting di-
vided skirts,” said a dealer in such femin-
ine equipments to a Star reporter yester-
day. “Only last week two ladies of
cabinet families bought them here. 1 will
venture to say that 500 women in this city
are wearing them to-day, and within a
year there will be 5,000. For riding es-
pecially they are coming into favor, and
the freedom of motion they allow recom-
mends them for dancing. Some peOple
imagine that the divided skirts is a substi-
tute for the dress skirt, but of course it
only takes the place of the pctticoat.
Several makes have been introduced, both
English and American: but any woman
can manufacture such things for herself,
having once obtained the pattern.”

The corsetlere said that dress waists as
a substitute for corsets were coming stead-
ily more and more into use among Wash-
ington women—a result chiefly due to the

 

persistent crusade against tight lacing.—,
Washington Star. ,

Turkey ought to consider herself very
fortunate that Russia did not strike back
at. her kisser.

The tendency of Chicago people to get
up in the air has led an inventor of that
city to prOposc elevated Sidewalks.

It is believed that the capture of “Jack,
the ink slingcr,” removes Mr. Cleveland’s
most dangerous opponent in that line.

The Prohibitionists ought to have no
trouble in finding most eligible Presiden-
tial timber for ’92. For instance, there's
Colonel Roscwater, of Nebraska; Major
Rainwater, of Missouri, and Private
Freshwater, of Ohio. '

Mr. Halsted’s Brooklyn rS'tmzdard- Union
was making some most interesting sugges-
tions concerning the advisability of fight-
ing the ice trust by towing in some of the
ocean icebergs, when some Yankee yelled
“salt” at the top of his voice. '

A chivalrous exchange bubbles over
like this: “How caua man say that a
woman has nothing to do? In one year
she gets dinner 365 times, washes the
dishes 1,095 times, gets the children ready
for school twice a day for 180 days, gets
the baby to sleep 1,450 times, makes about
800 calls, and as she wishes for something
she hasn’t. every minute, she wishes 60
things an hour, or 4,380 things in a year.
Who says that a woman has nothing to
do?”

Cincinnati Enquirer :—-Wiuc drinking in
America doesn’t turn out well if kept up
from day to day. A distinguished
Frenchman, on important business here,
lately told me that he abstained from
claret altogether in the American cilmatc,
“whereas,” said he, “I drink nothing but
claret and no water when I go to France.
I become so heavy in this country after I
drink half a bottle of wine at midday that
I can hardly attend to my business. One
reason why champagne is in vogue in this
country is that it comes nearer to the re-
quirements Of the climate than any other
wine.”

Thursday Coroner Doten finished his
investigation in the case of the accident at
Danbury whereby Eugene Buntcn of
Bridgeport was killed. Conductor Joseph
E. Sherman of the New York and New
England road is severely censured. In
concniumg Coroner Doten'savs: “1 sun
that Eugene R. Buntcn came to his death
from a fracture of the skull caused by his
being caught in the door of a car on the
Housatonic railroad, in a collision on said
road at Danbury, on the 6th day of May,
1890, as described. I find that said col-
lision occurred because said conductor,
Joseph E. Sherman, of the New York &
New England road, did not notify the
employes of said Housatouic road in said
yard, that said coal cars had been trans-
ferred and did not guard them by signal.’

The Connecticut Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows met in New Haven, Wednesday,
to the number of 200 or more. The G. M.
stated that there had been aii‘iincrease of
nearly 1,000 members since 1889, and that
three ncwlodgcs were instituted during
the year. The G. S. reported 134 deaths
during the year, 12 expulsions, 229 suspen-
sious, and 118 withdrawals by card.
There were 1,053, initiations, 116 were ad-
mitted by card and 25 reinstated. The
total receipts amounted to $116,920.08,
and the expenditures were $100,241.24,
leaving a balance Of $16,676.84. The
Daughters of Rebekah report an increase
in membership Of 262, and a net gain in
funds of $655 54.

The following Officers were elected for

the ensuing year: Grand Master, Fred-
erick S. Hunt Of Bridgeport; Deputy Grand
Master, George H. Cowcll of Waterbury;
Grand Warden, Charles B. Ware Of New
London ; Grand Secretary, Frederick Bols—
ford of New Haven; Grand Tl’CflSlll'Cl',
John M. Smith of Waterbury, and Grand
Representative, James Bishop of New Ha-
vcn.
The Sun advises the public to meet the
census enumerator politely and pleasantly.
Don’t attempt to rebuke him or argue with
him. He is simply carrying out his in-
structions, which are definite and manda-
tory, as far as he is concerned. He has no
power to change the schedule of questions
committed to him by his Superintendent.
Probably he had rather be excused than
not from pressng your wife with quest' is
as to her physicxal condition, or from sk-
ing you whether the house you live in is
mortgaged. His task is not an agreeable
one, and, in common decency, you ought
to make it as easy as- possible. Answer
the questions that come within the legiti-
mate scope of Government inquiry as
promptly, plainly, concisely, and satisfac-
torily as your command of language per-
mits. When the enumerator comes to
Question 22, “Whether suffering from
acute or chronic. disease,” and so forth,
maintain an impressive silence, and keep
it up until the end of the schedule is
reached. Then bid him good-by as
pleasantly as you bade him good morning.
But don’t argue.

IVESTPORT:
There are soldiers of four wars in the
cemeteries of this town. There are thir-
teen cemeteries, nine in use and three obso-
lete. Iu them rest two soldiers of the rev-
olution, one of the war of 1812, one of the
war with Mexico, about thirty-six of the '
war of the rebellion, and one confederate.
The Sacred ashes of these lie in eight ceme-
teries, tho'se of the Revolution being in the
old burial place in Greens Farms, while the
representative of the Mexican war, General
Henry M. Judah is in the old cemetery on
King street. Each of these will be remem-
bered on Friday next, and an interesting
programme of ceremonies by McDonough
Post, No. 63, G. A. It” the fire department-
and the citizens, will be carried out in per-
petuation of their memories. Flowers will

as announced by Post Commander \V. E.
Albin, G. A. R., is very complete. In
honor of the dead and in anticipation of the
great anniversary Rev. C. C. F urguson, at
Memorial church preached a special sermon
Sunday evening, the Post by invitation, and .
many Citizens being present.

The Cedar Point Yacht club will sail their
first regatta of the season over the triangu-
lar course, Cedar Point, on Friday, May 30.
The contests by the club to follow will oc-
cur July 22d and Sept. 10th.

Mr. “Tom” Scott the great railroad man,
with a railroad friend, dropped on lVest-
port a few days ago, and was driven about
town. He was charmed with the situation
as it fell beneath his vision and as it was
explained to him. He was able to see
what we are all aware of, that lVestport has
more natural beauties" than most towns in
the State. Mr. Scott said the river which
enabled vessels to penetrate to the village
was a rare natural advantage which LO
western town however enterprising, could
boast of. He thought the character of our
land cultivation showed thatv our soil,thcugh
pretty well bound with stones and rocks,was
yielding in actual profit many per cent., in
the long run, more than was realized at the
west, and he was not slow in saying that he
would like to locate here. He said there
was no money in the west for men who had
to work for a living, and that. the best place
for capital was right here in the east near
New York. Mr. Scott said he should come
and see us again.

The great meteor said to have appeared
one night last week, and exploded, turns
out to have been a toy balloon sent up from
the village by a citizen who couldn’t wait
for July 4th.

On Sunday morning, Rev. H. S. Still

preached in the Congregational church, and
the lIotlxo

not Mr. Daolrnc pvonolxod in
dist church.

Saturday, burglars entered the house of
Mrs. Almira Christopherson, while she was
visiting a near neighbor, and carried Off
several valuable articles. A number of men
were at work repairing the road in front of
the premises, and saw the burglars c0me
and go, but supposed they were connected
with the place, and for that reason suspect-
ed uothing. ,

Some forty persons who went to Bridge-
port, Friday night, to see the play of Shen-
andoah, assured that they could return at
midnight on the lVashington express which
was to stop (‘3) at Westport, took the train
which didn’t stop, and brought up, all in
good order at South Norwalk. Some walked
home, a distance of five miles, while the
majority look rooms and returned in the
morning.

Capt. H. P. Burr, J. G. Hyatt and John
RXPalmer are our census enumerators, and
a correct result may be looked for.

MiSs Fanny Nash, daughter of Edward
H. Nash is visiting her Sister, Mrs. Theo-
dore D. Robinson in Troy.

The “Silent Drummer.”

Did you ever think what your ad. in
the newspaper is doing for you? When
you close your store in the evening and
go moms to your family and fireside, not
thinking about yodr business at all, then
it is that the paper is being pored ox’cr in
hundreds of homes—the homes from
which your trade is drawn. And there
is your ad. doing its work silently, but
surely, and if you have taken'pains to
make it attractive its work will be all the
more effective. This is repeated over and
again, and is no doubt what inspired some
writer to call newspaper advertising a
“silent drummer.” ‘
