A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Academy
Entertainment. A Detailed Re-
port.
The iVeademy scholars scored a great
victory at the Town ball, on Thnrsday
evening last. The entertainment is pro
nounced by everyone to be one of the
best ever given in the hall. The even
ing was a pleasant one and the hall was
lull, many being present from out of
town.
Every number on the program
was a good one, and the promptness
with which each was brought on chal
lenged the work of professional mana
gers and performers. The Delsarte
woik by the young ladies was exception
ally line and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
It was certainly the best among a host
of other pleasing attractions. Almost
every exercise during the evening might
be mentioned as a special feature. The
flag march with the tableaux which fol
lowed it, the performance of the 12 dumb
bell boys to music, Shakespear's "'Seven
Ages of Man,"' the fancy club swinging of
Miss Mabel Cummings, the dramatic .rec
itation of Miss French, "The Little Shak
ing Quakers," the pantomines "Woman's
Work One Hundred Years Ago" and
"The World's Fair" were all features
that not only pleased but surprised the
audience, and drew forth rounds of ap
plause. The stage was very prettily decorated
for the evening, and the soft colored
lights which fell upon it when the' Del
sarte woik began had a very pleas' Dg
effect.
The stage exercises began with the
flag march, when 25 members of the
school, bearing flags, marched upon the
stage, singing "The Ked, White and
Blue," the young ladies dressed in the
national colors. After a series of march
ing and countermarching and singing of
'The Star Spangled Banner," and other
patriotic song-, historic descriptions of
the ll.ig were given by the leader, Harry
C. Taylor, and also by Harry Curtis,
Bradley Itodgers, Henry Moore, Hopo
Warner, James Nichols, Harry Mason
and Bertie Peck, the last four named
bearing flags of Itevolutionary days.
Following the march a recitation, enti
tled "The Origin of the Flag," was giv
en by Miss Jessie Payne, bearing a flag.
Following tins tnree tableaux were
show n of America, Miss Florence "War
ner, bearing a shield, represented a god
dess of liberty, while a semi-circle of
young ladies aoouc ner sang the nation
al anthem.
The "Character Sketch" and "The Lit
tle Shaking Quakers" were two very
taking motion songs and pleased every
one, the latter being among the best
things of the evening. . The comedy
"Columbus" was well taken by three
boys, Arthur Piatt, Hopo Warner and
James Nichols. The tableaux "The
Red Man," showed an Indian in full cos
tuine standing beside his wigwam, while
Miss Mary Antone, an Indian girl from
Virginia, who is at present attending
the Academy, recited very prettily,"The
Home or our iatners snail jvnow ua ; o
More." Paul Beardsley impersonated
Whittier's Bareroot Boy" while Mabel
Morris recited selections from the poem
Miss Kittie French showed much ability
as an elocutionist Tn her recitation of
"The Actor's Story."
The ueisaite exercises, which were
awaited with interest, surpassed the ex
pectations of all, and reflected great
credit on the pupils as well as - the-jjpi?
structor, Miss CnmmiDgs. The gesture
work was very gracefully performed by
Miss Nellie Hubbell, Miss Florence War
ner, Miss Bessie Beers,. Miss Fanny
Beers and Miss Bessie Jonas. Follow'
ing.tbis were four groups In attitude
the first being a study in expression
The last three groups to the music of
"Home, Sweet Home" repre sented first
' Farewell to Home;" second, "In Sight
of Home ;" third, "A Charm From the
Skies." The other young ladies who
took part In the Delsarte exercises were
Miss Bertha Croffutt, whose expression
of determination in the first group could
not easily be excelled, Miss Edith Peck
MiS3 Hattle Ferris, Miss Libbie Cham
bers. Miss Alice Beers, Miss Maud
Blackman,Miss Laura Mitchell and Mis
Jessie Payne.
The moving tableau, "Shakespeare
Seven Ages of Man," was very good and
the performers took their part exceed
ingly well, even to the mewling infant.
Ernest Sanford recited the poem and re
cited it well, while the diflerent charac
ters in costume passed slowly across the
stage. In the chorus "We all have a
very bad cold," IIopo Warner was the
star and drew forth much applause by
his appearance as music teacher and his
good singing. Jame3 Betts in his hu
morous recitation of the' "Connecticut
Yankee in London" richly merited the
applause he received.
There were 12 boys in the dumb bell
exercise and they all went through with
their work with the precision of military
movement. It was a very pretty exhi
bition. The fancy club swinging by
Miss Mabel L. Cummings, teacher of
physical culture in the Academy, was
received with great applause. The
double quartet, "Dream of me" was
well rendered by Miss Bertha Croffutt,
Mis3 Florence Warner, Miss Nellie Hub
bell, Miss Bessie Beers and Messrs Har
ry, C. Beers, Uarry Taylor, Bradley C.
Itodgers and Ernest Sanford.' The
music by the school was well rendered
throughout, and Miss Grace Goodaell, as
pianist, who had more than 30 selections
to render, some of the accompaniments
as to the Delsarte and dumb bell move
ments being quite diflicult, performed
her part in a manner that is deserving of
much credit. Among the best of the
tableaux, were "The World's Fair"
which repr3sented people from all parts
of the world, and " Woman's Work One
Hundred Years Ago." In the latter the
music to the humming of the spinning
wheels produced a charming effect. The
characters in this were Miss Kate Houli
han, Miss Jessie Taylor, Miss Kosie
Stuart, Miss Louise Hawley and Miss
Katie McMahon.
The monologue on Mother Hubbard
by Agnes Piatt was well received as
were also the piano solo by Miss Bessie
Jonas and the duet by Misses Fannie and
Alice Beers. Principal Cliff and all the
teachers and scholars of Xewtown Acad
emy deserve great praise for the success
of the entertainment.
THE J?Y3 OP EAILEOADING.
Among the faithful men in the service
of the New England road is T. F. Flynn,
station agent and day telegraph operator
at Towantic station. This little station
is a telegraph center tor moving trains
and is situated just at the top of the hill
mid-way between Waterbury and New
town. The trains have hard work to get
up the grade in either direction. The at
tractions at Towantic are not very exten
sive. There is the depot and one tene
ment house, and scattering farm houses
are situated a half mile in various di
rections. Mr Flynn has been at Towantic
two years. He had previously been an
operator at West Pawling, West Patter
son, Southford, Brewsters, Mill Plain,
etc. Mr' Flynn makes his home at Peter
Ward's, a mile toward Oxford. This is
the station for Oxford, although South
ford gets the larger share of the patron
age, Mr; Flynn's associate at the station
is Night Operator C. E. DeLong, who is
quite a musician, lie is a violinist and
i3 said to sometimes play the accompani
ments for Towantic musicians. Mr
Flynn sticks to his post week in and week
out and is always faithful to his duty.

A NEW HOUSE.
Mrs Nancy French expects to have her
new house, (which is situated up the
hill from the house that was demolished
by the ice gorge, iast winter," and away
above high water mark), ready for occu
pancy about the middle of December; It
is an attractive two-story nine-room cot
tage, with a broad veranda running along
the front and on one side. Oa the first
floor are two front parlors, which can be
thrown together with folding doors, din
ing room, kitchen and pantry ; and up
stairs are four sleeping apartments. Mrs
French's two sons, F. J. French, the en
ergetic young blacksmith, and Edward
French, who attends to the farm, live
with her. The plans for the dwelling
were made by Carpenter William Jordan,
who has seen that they have been faith
fully carried out, assisted by Charles
Winton.
A liUUGLAU VISITS STEVENSON.
Stevenson was treated to quite an un
pleasant sensation one night, recently.
About 8 30 p. m., an attempt at burglary
as evidently attempted on the store
now being kept by Mrs Warren Stone at
the Bridge. An unknown person came
to the door of the store and demanded ad
mittance. Mrs Stone inquired who was
there and received the reply that it was
friend. She asked the stranger's name
but could elicit no reply except that a
friend wanted to get in. Mrs Stone told
im he could not come in unless be made
known his name, whereupon he said he
would get in. Fortunately Mrs Stone's
daughter, Mrs John II. Stone and child
ren, from Bridgeport were visiting her,
and they informed the marauder that a
good dog and gun were inside to receive
m should he make the attempt. To
prove the assertion and call assistance,
Mrs Stone fired one shot from the gun
out of the window and in setting it down
on the floor, in some way the. other bar
rel of the gun was discharged, boring a
large hole through the floor and break
ing a show case in the store below. But
it had the desired effect, and whn the
Messrs French came to the assistance of
the ladies, no trace of the supposed vil
lain could be found.

STEPNEY.
COW KILLED ON T1IK KAILUOAI.
Edson Turney lost a cow, last week.
It was struck and killed by the . o'clock
passenger train south.
A MAD DOG SCAKE.
A large shepherd dog, which by some
was supposed to be mad, passed through
Stepney a week ago last Sunday morn
ing. It was first seen in Lower Stepney
where it entered John Porter's house
and was driven out by Mr Porter. It
next visited John Benedict's and killed
some fowls for him and from there it
went through the upper part of Easton
and killed a turkey and two children for
Joseph Field and also bit his dog. It
next killed a chicken for John Farnham
and then it hied itself to Stepney village.
It got after Moses Hull's turkeys and was
riven off by the women folks before it
did any damage there. It spent some
ime in the village consorting with other
dogs and did not act in such a way as to
excite any suspicion as to its condition.
It was next seen at O. II. Hull's and was
driven out of the yard but no one no-
iced it acted strangely. Herbert Wright
and Charles Nichols thought the dog was
mad and followed it as far a3 Long Hill,
as they supposed, and came back through
Stepney village. The news they brought
aroused the villagers and C. E. Osborne,
George Hubbell and Milon Hawley gave
chase with their guns, hoping to kill him
before he did any further damage. A
few minutes after they had passed Mr
Hull's, a noise was heard in the wood
shed and upon going to investigate, Mr
Hull found the dog lying upon the floor,
The outside door was closed and the dog
confined until the afternoon, when a dose
of poison was administered by Mr Hull,
which ended the dog's miserable exist
ence. There was no certainty that the
dog was suffering from hydrophobia but
it was better to take no risk and besides
the damage already done was sufficient
to warrant the killing. A number of
people came to the house to see the dog
and when sticks were punched at him
tnrougn a noie ne would make vicious
grabs at the sticks, a thing any dog will
do when confined, especially if the place
is a strange one. When allowed to be
quiet, he seemed perfectly natural and
would mind when spoken to or respond
to words of kindness. Joseph Fields'
dog is the only one known to be bitten
It was thought at first that O. H. Hull's
might be bitten but a very careful exam
ination was made and no scratches were
found.

NOVEMBER'S NOTIONS.
Dyers Shame the Solar Spectrum-Bonnets with
One String.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF TUE BEE
Ombre effects are among the prettiest
in the rough and corded cloths present
ed for the coming season. Such is the
skill of the dyer that the most startling
contrasts is colors are put togeher with
an ombre effect that brings them to a
charming harmony. Thus a beautiful
gown shows a bright green stripe being

followed by the ombre effect in its own
color, that blends, each to each, till
somehow you are transferred without a
jar to the next color. Equal skill is re
quired in the use of these stripes in mak
ing so that the graduations made by the
dyer may not be interfered with. Some
of the more expensive goods come with
the stripes running the length of the
goods, and these are easier to handle.
successfully. The material employed in
the theatre toilet of this picture is mauve
colored satin figured with black. The
skirt is umbrella shaped and is trimmed
around the bottom with three rows of
black and mauve shaded passementerie.
The bodice conies over the skirt and
hooks in back; it is finished by a stiff
passementerie girdle shaded in the colors
of the dress aud ornamented by a jet
buckle in front. The bodice has a deep,
slightly pointed yoke of finely pleated
mauve illusion or chiffon, and is finished
with a band of passementerie. The
front has no seams in the centre, as they
are put under the bretelles of plain satin
in place of darts, thu3 dividing the front
into three parts. The bretelles con
tinue over the shoulders' and down the
back to the waist line. The short sleeves
consist of full balloon puffs finished by a
band of passementerie which also is the
the material for the standing collar
With the toilette is shown a handsome
open cloak of pale grey cloth lined with
old rose silk and trimmed with very or
nate jet passejienterie put on black
faille. The cloak has two capes, each
finished with jet.
Waists are longer than ever, not the
bodice of your gown, but your own
waist, and the corset that gets to work
the most unmercifully in removing your
waist line a couple of inches nearer your
heels, is the corset for you to get into,
no matter what it costs, or so says fash
ion.
Hats which are all white are again to
be used for dressy occasions, without
much reference to the gown worn. A
beautiful theatre bonnet is a frame of
pearls which claps the head fillet-like
and has two flaring butterfly pieces in
front. From behind thi3 butterfly two
white ostrich plumes nod to either side,
That is all there is of the bonnet except
the narrow white velvet string that
comes from one side only and fastens by
a ieweled pin to the shoulder. This is a
new fad, this single string, and is a iea
ture of the very small and costly hats,
and is, indeed, something like the guard
chain that is cften attached to a jeweled
pin. The conceit is a pretty one, and
one that the beauty and delicacy of some
of these bits of hats seem to justify
The pretty toque of this sketch is made
of dark blue velvet and has a pointed
crown embroidered with gold beads. It is
