Commotion in a Boarding School.

The young ladies in the Stockton,

Cal., boarding school recently had a'

trying experience. The school is just
across the way from the Stockton Ho-
tel, one of the attachments of which is
a pet monkey. This little creature
slipped its collar and found its way
over to the porch where a number of
the young ladies were sitting. It saw
a silver garter and jumped for it. The
young lady who owned the garter went
into hysterics at once, and so did four
of her girl friends. The stock of re-

;storatives in the school was well nigh

exhausted before the young men who
rushed'to the rescue could find out just
what was the matter. When the cause
of the trouble was finally made known
one young man kicked the monkey
into the middle of the street, and the
girls gradually recovered from their
fright. -

Celebration at Baltimore. ,

The 200th anniversary of the landing
of Calvert at Clements Island, March
25, 1654, was duly celebrated atBalti-
more. The Maryland Pilgrims’ Asso-
ciation, a Catholic society, banqueted
and listened to addresses from three
prominent laymen of that faith. The
Society of Colonial Wars held a meet-
ing at the rooms of the Maryland His-
torical Society and an interesting ad-
dress upon the colonial period was de-
livered by Thomas Marsh Smith. Mr,
Henry Stockbride presided. The State
Society of Colonial Dames continue
the celebration to-day with a reception
at Lehmann’s Hall. The address will
be delivered by Arthur George Brown.

, Over 1,000 invitations have been issued

to prominent men and women descend-
ants of colonial settlers, and there will
be a display of flags and relics of ants-
revolutionary days.

it Surprised Him.

Mrs. Julia Sprague of Aurora, 111.,
has just received the information from
the pension department at Washington
that she is a widow and that therefore
the pension claim of her husband can.
not be allowed. About three years ago
her husband, Horatio S. Sprague, a
member of the second .Massachusetts
infantry, applied for-a pension under
the act of June 27, 1890, he being then
blind and permanently disabled. That
was the last heard of the application
until Mr. Sprague, who is alive but dis-
abled, received word that he is dead
and hence he is rejected.

The pension authorities were shown
the Sprague diapatch but the officials
expressed themselves as being confi-
dent that there was some mistake in
the matter.

There was no such thing known in
the pension bureau as ciViliter mortuus.

N They admitted no death excepting phy-

Isical death. They did not recognize
such a thing as civil death even in states
where this species of demise was known
to the statute.

-. Won’t Wear Trousers.
Mrs. Theodore Sutro, the well-known

 

f society woman of New York, has the
~ following to say about the “woman of

the future :"

“She will not wear trousers. On the
contrary, her garments'will be prettier,
and sheherseli‘ will be, if that is pos-
sible, more effeminate, mere gentle and
tender than she is’n ow. Why ? Because
she will realize, by being all these, that
her power will be increased in a corres-
ponding ratio. Women’s rights are in-
variably associated in a man’s mind
with the loud-voiced 'woman, the we-

, man without little personal vanities,

- as this person?

the woman who is indifferent to her
appearance, who wears big boots and
would like to wear high hats and make
other incursions on his wardrobe. He
is the reigning power now, and looking
at things from this point of vision, can
he be blamed for not wanting to abdi-
cate in favor of any one so unattractive
There will be more

1‘ marriages for love in her day than there
' are now, for the reason. that natural

' selection will replace convenience. She
- Will be qualified for work, and not fear-

ing it, will not marry for support. She
Will be able to provide for herself, and
when she marries it will be because she

. loves the man, because he is congenial

and sympathetic to her, and will not
retard her mental and moral develop-
,ment. She will be fearless and frank,
and will have the courage of her con-
victions.” ' -

EDITORIAL LETTER.

WASHINGTON, March 30, 1894.

DEAR GAZETTn:—Yale,has been very
much in evidence here the past few
days. Tuesday afternOOn the Yale runs
was badly drubbed by the Georgetown
college boys, and for the first time in
his life it is said, Carter, Yale’s best
pitcher, weakened and retired from the
box. The weather-was severely cold,
nevertheless a large crowd was present
including hundreds of ladies gaily dec.
o'rated in blue flowers and ribbon. The
Yale boyswere victorious at Richmond,
but suffered defeat also, a few days
since, in their game with the Washing-
ton Y. M. C. A. nine. Nevertheless

 

they were abundantly entertained by

society and will leave the city with ex-
ceedingly pleasant memories of their
social ovations. Society turned out in
force to make the boys in blue welcome
and from the time of their arrival to
leave taking they were hurt busy in
enjoying the" social honors given them.
After the ball game a tea was given
them by Mr. and Mrs. William Board-
man, and after the concert Mrs. and
Miss McLanahan gave a dance in their
honor.

The Glee and Banjo Club concert at
MetzerottHall was largely attended by
a fashionable and appreciative audi-
ence. The programme was by far the
most entertaining offered here by this
club in many years, and that the efforts
of the boys were appreciated was
evinced by the many encores to which
they were obliged to respond. A novel
featureof the evening’s performance
was the whistling solo by Mia. Solley,
accompanied by the glee which was
greatly enjoyed. . _

At the Boardman banquet on Lafay-
ette Square, the house was decorated
with the college colors in various flags,
streamers, and pennants. in addition to
the palms and flowers. In the tearoom
the same idea was carried out. The
collation was done full justice to by the
guests of honor.

At the McLanahan mansion, where
was given the dance after the concert,
the evening was in every respect a
most enjoyable one for the young peo-
ple. In the dining room the appro-
priate decorations - were Yale flags

crossed above the center piece of white .

flowers garlanded about with white
ribbons. "

To meet the Yale Glee and Banjo
Club were asked the Yale baseball team
and the recent graduates of the college
in the city or those with Yale affilia-
tions. Outside of this number no Wash-
ington men were asked. ,

FRUIT AND TRUCK FROST BITTBN.

The cold snap has affected the market
gardners surrounding Washington, and
many report that. the peach andstraw-
berry coops have been completely des-
troyed. .

GREEN GOODS.

“The general public hears of about
one in a hundred of the people who
are swindled by green goods men,”
says Frank Diveny, the ex-secret ser-
vice man. “These sharpers have their
agents going through the country all
the time, and the ignorant man who is
found to have money is prettv apt to-
be located by these fellows and the tip
sent to the home gang ‘in New Jersey
to communicate with him. The same
old game is worked. A letter is sent to
the desired victim, informing him that
the writer has plates in his possession
that were obtained surreptitiously from
the Treasury department. The offer is
made to sell a certain amount of money
printed from these plates for so much
money—85,000 for $500 is usually the
percentage. Of late this letter is ac-
companied by what is represented to
be a sample of the money printed on
the alleged plates. The sample is a
dollar bill and the sucker is requested to
take it to a bank and see how easily he
can pass it. Nine times out of ten,he
does so, and, as the bill is a perfectly
good one, the receiving teller takes it
either as a deposit or to make change
for without any question. When the
sucker has swallowed the bait this far
he is lost. The swindlers make alto=
gather out of this green goods game
not less than a quarter of a. million a
year, and yet manage to keep clear of
the pen as easy as you please.”

THE METHODIST UNIVERSITY.

The great Methodist University fund
has been increased, through a. recent
gift,» to $1,000,000. The name of the
contributor has not yet been giVen out.’
He is said to be a wealthy northern
man. Toward the ereciion of Asbury
Hall, one of the buildings to be at-
tached to the university, $65,000 have
been pledged by ministers in various
sections. The. American UniVersity
with all its attachments is to occupy
the most favorable portion on the nine-
ty—seven-acre tract purchased and lo-
cated near the Chain bridge road. In
about two months the work on the
foundation of the main structure will
be begun.

. c VI-HOLIC BISHOPS.

A meeting of 'Catholic bishops will
be held in this city on April 4, when.
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Arch-
bishop Corriganof New York and oth-
ers are. expected to be present. Bishop
Keane and Father MoCammou of the
Catholic University left for Norfolk
last evening, but they will return in
time for the meeting.

VILAS WILL BE CHAIRMAN.

Senator Vilas will probably become
chairman of the Senate committee of
post offices and post roads. as he was
next to Mr. Colquitt in the committee.
His former position of Postmaster Gen-

eral gives him a wide knowledge Of.

matters coming before that committee.
JUDGMENT son LETTER cannrans.

- The Court of Claims has ordered that
judgments, averaging above 350, be
entered in favor of forty—one letter car-
riers at section A, New YOrk city, for
serVices rendered in excess of eight
hours a day.

THE BELL PATENTS.

The House Committee on Patents
yesterday decided not to go into an in-,
vestigation of the Bell telephone pat-
ents, as proposed by a recent House
resolution. This decision was reached

l

 

.Joseph Downs, 1 year ;

'minority, and John Feeney, 60 days.

., ior Court opened in Bridgeport to-day.

 

'and Joseph ne ThompsOn vs. William

after the receipt of a letter from the
Attorney General stating that the sub-
ject was being inquired into in court in
the case of the United States against
the Bell Telephone Company. For this
reason the committee agreed that it
was useless for them to take up the
matter. .
PERSONALS.

The painful announcement is made
that the wife of Mr. Horace Bl. I‘ieck-
wood, a brother of Charles S. Lock-
wood of Norwalk, died at her residence
here on Wednesday afternoon. She
was a sister of Gen. H. V. Boynton,
the noted Washington correspondent,
and every way a most lovable and ac-
complished lady. She was a frequent
visitor to Norwalk, her husband’s child-
hood home, where she leaves many
friends who will mourn her demise.-

John Lane, now a wealthy Washing-
ton stone cutter, and a native of old
Norwalk, has just concluded a contract
for putting up a $20,000 tomb in a Bal-
timore cemetery for the millionaire
May family of this city.

Editor Troup is again here and stag-
gering under the weight of his unre-
quited party services with Well fortified
claims to a chance at the pie-counter.

Frank W. Loomis of Norwich, and
Robert C. Burchard (alternate) of Un-
casville, have been appointed West
Point cadets by Congressman Russell.

Col. Breckinridge took-the stand in
his own defence yesterday. Thus far
he has succeeded in covering himself
with the derision of all who do not,
stand aghast at his shocking self-con-
fessed immoralities. Even predocious
pages about the capitol are heard to
say, “Why didn’t he scream, when first
overpowered by the school girl? ”

The President yesterday sent to the
House the expected message vetoing
the Bland silver sei niorage bill. It
was received by mem era with both joy
and sorrow. The republicans were
greatly elated at the confusion and
havoc created in the democratic camp.

Mr. John A. Brawley, the sixth audi-
tor of the Treasury Department, has
sent his resignation to the President,
to take effect upon the appointment of
his successor. .

Ex-Speaker Reed and Representative
Burrows, of Michigan, have accepted
invitations from the Americas Club, of
.Pittéburg, to deliver addresses before"
that organizatiOn at the banquet to be
given in commemoration of the anni-
xerfiaryof Gen. Grant’s birthday,April
~7t .

. “Dave” Trubee of Bridgeport, got
interviewed here a few days since and
thus delivered himself: “I think we

have too much partisan politics for the
good of the country, and I move‘ffliiit“
United States Senators be elected for a
term of twenty-five years. Our town,”

he continued, “does an enormous

amount of manufacturing, but most of

the mills are practically idle justnow,

and hundreds of men are out of em-

ployment. My neighbors ascribe the

situation to the attitude of Congress

toward the tariff, and nearly everybody

up our way wishes the Wilson bill at
the bottom of the-sea. If we had a
Senate so constituted that partisan con-

siderations would have as little influ-

ence with that body as with the Su-

preme Court, for instance, it would be

a vast improwment over the present
order.” As ever, B.

ABUSINESS CHANGE.

Norwalk Loses One of Its Live
Easiness Men.

 

 

The Boston Store to Be Under New
Management Next Week.

 

Mr. Thomas O’Gorman has disposed
of two-thirds of his interest in the Bos-
ton Store to Patrick J. Masterson and
Peter F Burns, of Providence, R. 1.,
and the latter gentlemen will assume
control of the store on Monday next.
Mr. ~0’G0rman, while retaining an in-
terest in the store here will remove
his family to Providence and reside in
that city, he having purchased a mam-
moth dry goods store in Providence.
He will make frequent visits=to Nor-
walk to'look after his interests here,
but his time will be principally spent
at his Providence store, as he proposes
to give up all active part in the man-
agement of the Norwalk store to
Messrs. Masterson and Burns.

Norwalk will greatly miss Mr. O’Gor-'

man. ashe was one of its most active
hustlers "and business men, always tak-
ing a deepinterest in everything that
would benefit the town and its people.
Every new enterprise for the advance-
ment of business found in him a ready
and eager wdrker. and while Norwalk’s

'loss will be largely felt, Providence

will secure a business hustler of whom
any citymight well be proud. Messrs.
Masterson and Burns, who will take
charge of the Norwalk store, are old
friends and schoolmates of Mr. O’Gor-
man’s and come to this city with the repu-
tation of being live business men and
hustlers in the dry goods line. and the
GAZETTE extends to them a hearty wel-
come.

While the business will be continued
under the title Of the Boston store the
firm name will be changed to Master-
son, Burns & Co. .

The Company Liable.

In the ease of Mrs. Elizabeth H. An-
drews of! South Norwalk, Conn., who
died on February 8 from injuries re-
ceived while trying to get on a Broad-
way, New York,cable car, the coroner’s
jury, on ursday brought in a verdict
of negli nce on the part of the con-
ductOr of the car. Mrs. Andrews was
a daughter of the late General Nelson
Taylor. _."While shopping on February
7 she h led a Broadway car at the cor-
ner of .iirty7first street and had one
fact on the platform when the conduc-
to_r rang'zthe bell and the car started
Wlth surf}: suddenness that she was
thrown ' ckward, her head striking
the aveinent. Neither she 'nor her
Tue "were able to ascertain the name
of the conductor or the number of the
car. The jury’sverdict, however. makes
the company liable. ‘

The Pelican Reception.

The weather was very unpropitious
Thursday evening, but that fact did
not prevent a flattering attendance at
the first annual concert and reception
given by the Pelican club at the Athe-
nseum. The concert consisted of sever-
al selections by the Jerome May Banjo
club, and was greatly enjoyed. This
was followed by the grand march, and
then the terpsicborean exercises were
Commenced, and continued until 1&30
o’clock; with an intermission of perhaps
twenty minutes. There were nearly. if
not quite, one hundred couples on the
floor, and the costumes worn by the
ladies were, in several instances, very
handsome." Charles Flynn acted as
prompter. A delegation of Stamford
Pelicans, with their lady friends, drove
over from that city in a carryall. and
received a cordial welcome. The Club
is to be congratulated on the grand suc~
cess of its first reception. Frank M'
Curran acted as floor manager, and his
assistants were M. J. Reardon, W. Far-
rell, J. Gillooly and M. McGinty. The
reception committee comprised Thos.
W. Powell, H. Donnelly, F. Madden,
James D. Sheehan, E. Magner, J. Mc-
Mahon, C. Flynn. J. B. ‘Morris, J. Mag-
ner. J. M. Creagb, R. Graham, Joseph

Miss» Mabel Earle, daughter of O. T.
Farle, of Bridgeport, and formerly of
Norwalk, and Timothy Porter.of Stam-
ford, were united in marriage on Thurs-
day, in- the home of Mrs. Kellogg, 147
West Avenue, Bridgeport. The bride
was attired in a beautiful traveling cos-
tume of a lavender shade. The couple
left for 'Boston shortly after the wed-
ding ceremony had been performed.
The groom is a very wealthy man, and
many count Miss 'Earle exceedingly
fortunate. She has already been pre-
sented with a good sized fortune in the
form of diamonds.

Recently relatives of Mr. Porter in-
stituted proceedings against him, al-
leging that he was mentally affected
because he was aged, fell in love with
a younggirl, and wanted to give her
part of his fortune. The suit was with-
drawn, however, and now the couple
are man and wife, and probably will
not be interfered with further. -

"he case has been the sensation of
the hour at'Stamford, where the groom
is well known. ' '

The marriage ceremony was perform.
ed by the Rev. John H. Fitzgerald, of
Bristol, Conn. The groOm’s age is
given in the marriage certificate as 60
years. This is his fourth wife. Miss
Earle’s age is 29. . _ '

On their return they will reSide in
Mr. Porter’s beautiful residence, Blach-
ley Lodge, Noroton Hill, Stamford.
The bride’s marriage portion is said to
have been $25,000 in cash, and soon.

‘ Doubling Up.

The Georgetown and Branchville sta-
tions on the Danbury division of the
lConsolidated are to be “consolidated”
and the new station will be near the
house of Major Miller in Georgetown.
This will give Georgetown better rail-
road facilities and will not seriously
interfere with Branchville. '

the disease first appeared there are three
children down with the disease. All pre-

went to the house of the neighbor and
was caressed by the little girl, who a
few days later was taken down with the

novr’s OPERA HOUSE.

The “Devil’s Auction” will be the at-
traction at Hoyt’s Opera House, Mon-
day evening, April 2d. The costumes
and scenery are fresh and elaborate,
and the specialty performance far
above the average. The young ladies
that take part in the various dances
and marches, are both young and pret-
ty, besides having been thoroughly
drilled. Toner and Froebel do a new
and fetching trapeze act.' An expo-
sition of the black art is done quite
cleverly. Gus Bruno, Jr., makes a
lively Toby. Josie Sisson, a milkmaid,
is exceptionally ‘good in the various
parts ass1gned to her. The dancing fea-
tures are to be especially commended. A
pretty conceit- is the shaft of light, in
which the entire house is darkened,
save one spot under the stage, through
which various colored lights are thrown
upon the figure of the dance.
