Some Methodist Ministers.
*' * Then there is Rev. William
Brown, pastor of the Nogth Main street
Methodist church for the last four
years. His first work as pastor in this
vicinity was nearly twenty years ago
when he was assigned to the pastorate
of the East avenue Methodist church
in_ Norwalk. A short time previous to
Mr. Brown’s assignment there the
church was founded and a new edifice
built. The founders of the. society
wanted Rev. G. Haulenbeck, of Non"
walk, for their first pastor and it was
the general understanding among them
that their wishes would be gratified.
But dissensions arose and a few who
were opposed to Mr. Haulenbeck suc-
ceeded in carrying their point and hav-
ing Rev. Mr. Latham appointed. Dur-
ing his term the church did not thrive
as it would have done had unity pre-
vailed. Mr. Brown was the next pastor
and the difficulty he had to contend
with at the beginning was dissension.
But he soon succeeded in harmonizing
all differences and from that time out
the church has prospered. Recently a
new and handsome church edifice has
been completed and is now occupied by
the society. Mr. Brown will always be
held in grateful remembrance by the
East Norwalk Methodists. ' Since leav-
ing East Norwalk he has been pastor of
several churches, among them the
Summerfield, of this city. He isa man
who has the happy faculty of making
everyone like him, whether they are
members of his church or not—[Bridge-

FRIDAY.
Substitute for Camp.
Now that the Legislature has ad-
journed without passing appropriations
there seems to be little or no probabili—
ty of the Connecticut militia going to
N iantic th1s year for the annual en-
campment. The boys are somewhat
disappointed over the prospect that
they will be deprived of the usual week
of outing, and a scheme for a substi—
_ tute for camp week is already on foot
among some of the organizations. The
plan is to enjoy a week’s camp life at
or nearNiantic at some favorable spot
on the shore. This will have all the
pleasures with none of the irksome re-
strictions of military discipline. It
would seem that some such plan might
meet with favor in more than one com-
pany.
Representative Porter, of Pomfret,
says that whatever sneers may be made
against our legislature, at least it de-
serves credit for having so far avoided
any of those disgraceful episodes which
have lately occurred in a number of
the general assemblies of other states,
notably in New Hampshire, Colorado,
Arkansas, Kansas and West Virginia,
where from time to time profanity has
held high ‘ carnival and at timesactual
personal contact has taken place.
Rev. Mr. Graham and wife are'to-be
present at the reception of the Ladies

erously served on this 'occasion‘. We
bespeak a socialan'd pleasant‘time.

A Rare Entertainment.
The coming musical lectures of Mine.
Constance Howard, which are to be
given in the Lecture room of the Con-
gregational Church the. afternoons of .
the 7th and 10th and evening of the 14th
of this month, will undoubtedly be
most interesting to lovers of music, and
as well to everyone interested in the
development of art and'literature. The
ladies having the matter more especial-
ly in hand are Mrs. G. Willis White,
Mrs. W. H. Smith, Mrs. James G.
Gregory and Miss Pinneo. The Wo-
man’s Club has also interested itself
and has sold a number of tickets.
A proper understanding of the Music-
Dramas of Richard Wagner is becom-
ing a subject of paramount importance
in the history of the development of art
in our country.
The enthusiasm with which his operas
are everywhere received. and the pow-
erful influence they exert over audi-
ences of the highest culture, are strong
evidences of the vitality and depth of '
Wagner’s music. No name in the his-
tory of modern music has excited great-
er attention or more controversy.
As translations of his literary works
(in nine volumes) are seldom attempt-
ed, his art theories and pailosnphy are
but little understood. ~. A hearing of his
operas is only to be obtained through a
visit tothose art centres where wealth
and culture go hand in hand. Even
then, a study. of the historic and le-
gendary sources of his libretti. is in-
dispensable to a complete artistic en-
joyment of these stupendous master-
works.
The comedy of The illustcrs-ingcrs of
Nuremberg, contains all of the elements
of popularity. It is a stirring and pic-
turesque view of life and customs in the
quaint old city of Nuremberg, towards
the middle of the 16th century, and
throws a strong light upon the mind
and character of Hans Sachs, the great-
est poet of that time.
Madame Howard having been present
at the first public performances of the
Trilogy of the “Ring of the Nibclungen”
in 1876, and also, of that of “Parsifal”
in 1882, at Bayreuth, has since that time
been a student of these works, and this
has been to her a labor of love. She
gives a short lecture before each act
descriptive of the period of the play, its
dramatic action and the characteristics
of its personages; the music of the en-
tire opera being played, and the prin-
cipal morceaux as arranged by Jaell,
Bendel, Tausig, and Von Bulow added,
to give effectiveness to the climax peri-
ods of the work. An important ele-
ment is an analysis throughout of the
musical motives which Wagner em-
ployed to illustrate his leading drama-
tic ideas, to which he had the faculty
of imparting a characteristic coloring
suitable in mood to the situation, by
changes in instrumentation, by har-
monic modulation or by figuration.
These she fully indicates in her Recitals,
which are as entertaining from a liter-
ary and musical point of view, as they
are instructive and facsinating. Mme.
Howard is gifted with rare abilityas an
exponent of Wagner, both as alecturer
and as a brilliant pianist and thorough
musician.

Nearly forty recruits to the Salva-
ticn Army were sworn in by Mrs. Gen-

Premier Rudini replies to Mr. Blaine
that Italy does not demand the punish-
mentcf the New Orleans lynchers be-
fore trial, but 'merely that the federal
government will use its good officers to
hasten the trial before the New Orleans
"courts.
Secretary Blaine’s reply to Baron
Fava’s note was warmly praised by men
of all parties at the National Capital;
the Italian Premier’s note to Marquis
Imperiali was looked upon as the first
step toward a resumption of amicable
relations between the two Governments;
Striking coke workmen attacked the
M’orewobd works of the H. C. F-rick
Company, in the Connellsville region;
they were fired upon by deputy-sheriffs
and eleven of the assailants were killed ,
and over forty wounded.
News was received that Warner Mil-
ler anda party'who were on their way _
to inspect the Nicaragua Canal had been
stranded on a reef.
Those, souvenir shell which were
cast at the Baltimore foundry out of
the metal of the centenarian First Con- .
gregational church hell, are now on
their way to NorWal’k and their distri- '
.bution is awaited with more than ordi-f
nary interest.
WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:
That the members of the New Hamp- ,
shire legislature rose above party and
laid local option on the shelf.
' That the never-failing sign of Spring,
the book-beer goat, has finally ventur-
ed to make its bow.
That New York’s Napoleon of finance
answers to the name of Silver. He
ought to be very pOpular in the West.
That with the prospect of a fine J er-
sey peach crop, and an extra large out-
put of Georgia watermelons, it is hard
to understand where Gen. Butler finds
his war signs.
That notwithstanding the fact that he
is handicapped by his old scandal, and
the indcrsement of Wales, Sir Charles
Dilke expresses great confidence in his
ability to find his way back into poli-
tics and society.
That the Morrison presidential boom
has been formally launched in the col-
umns of the Cincinnati Enquirer, its
editor having cracked the timid craft
over the bow with a champagne inter-"
view, as she slid ' gracefully down the
ways.
That‘the great Baptist University of
Chicago is to be ready for the recep-
tion of students on the 1st of October,
1892, by which time its endowment will
probably have reached $10,000,000, to
which Mr. John D.Rockefeller alone has
already contributed $1,600,000. Al-
though owned and controlled by Bap-
tists, it will not confine itself to secta-
rian instruction, but will adopt the plan
of university extensmn and occupy a
broad educational basis.
That the monarchical old dames of
Europe are cackling in an alarmed cho-
rus, berating gay Brother Jonathan at
great rate, and warning their pretty
young colonial daughters against the
awful evils of flirting in an annexation
sort of way. But these are degenerate
days, and frisky maidens do not take as
kindly to the restraints of the mater-
nal apron strings as they once did, pre-
ferring to do their conjugation think-
ing for themselves.
That the condition of our roads is
fearful to contemplate. The main
thing is to secure something like
scientific knowledge in the construction
of the roads, and mixture of materials.
The vicious idea that anybody can
make a road by shoveling dirt into the
middle of it from the gutter, or hauling
it‘there'by means of a scraper 'must be
abandoned at the outset. Until that is
done no reform will'be possible.
That yachtmen will feel like taking a
reef I in their trousers, 'now that the
names of their yachts have got to be
painted only on the stern.
That Senator Seymour and family are
residents of East avenue now.
That the secret of success of popular
preachers is due in a measure to their
being finished actors.
That to be prettily shod and nicely
gloved is the pride of every American
woman.
That the chief inspiration of the great
painters has come from the Christian
religion. If the world owed no other
debt to the Christian religion than for
the art which it has stimulated, this
alone would have vindicated its right
to be.
That teacloths and cozies are made
of materials and with embroidery
matching the china. The breakfast
table alone is spread with the snowy
hnen 1mmortalized 111 song and story,
and traces of color innovations are seen «
even here, for the napkins are fre-
quently embroidered in some delicate
flower.
That Christian Science has nothing
in common with “mind cure,” any
more than with “faith cure,” with which
in popular apprehension it is ofter as-
sociated.
~ The Ballot Law.
EDITOR GAzE'r'rnz—l see by the GA-
znrrn that one of the Senators has
found out the cause of the deadlock of
the legislature. He attributes it to the
secret ballot law. Wonderful discov-
ery! If he had read the GAZETTE the
summer of ’80 he would have found
what I stated, what it surely would re-
sult in and that I dissectedit thorough-
ly. I then stated that it was one of the
most outrageous enactments that was
