ACTORS who have reached the ripe
age of 100 are seldom to be seen actively
engaged in the exercise Of their pro-
fession. According to the Paix, how
ever, one of those rare ayes may now
be witnessed nightly at Toulouse. He
is comic actor named Grafetot; was
born on the I'd of July, 1880; came out
at Is years when the revolution was
at its height, and appeared successfully
at Bobino, at the Montansier Theater,
at the Gate, at Nantes and at Toulouse,
where he settled for good. He is said
OF be still a very amusing actor.
GIN. W. B. HA1EN denies, point
blank, that he ever fled an application
for the position of quartermaster gen.
eral, or any like position. "Before my
return from Europe in 1885," he says
in letter to the Washington Sunday
Herald, without my knowledge or
request, several citizens, then as now,
high in social and political life, recon-
mended me strongly for that position,
which they had a perfect right to do.
1t was done from friendship, which
have had the good fortune to enjoy a
great portion of my life."

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The annual musical concert and social promenade of Hiram Lodge No. l, which oc- cured on Tuesday evening the Sd inst, was in every respect fine success, being one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever given by this ancient lodge of Freemasons. De- spite the inclemency of the weather, at an early hour gentlemen with their lady friends began to arrive, and were promptly and po- itely received and escorted to seats by the re- ception committee, General F. D. Sloat chair man, and the floor committee, MT. Walter R. Francis chairman. By the time the concert commenced, S3 o'clock, the large Blue or Lodge room was completely filled. Part 1st of the concert consisted of piano duo by Miss Ella Downes and Walter R. Francis, and was finely performed, and was followed by song by Max Laue. The trio Ship of State by W. Hofer, J. H. Jones and E, R. Horton, was finely rendered. Next came sHThe Flower Girl, !" which was exquisiteIy sung by Mrs. E. Louise Thompson, and was loudly en- cored. MT. Sherwood s. Thompson then sang with great power and fne effect one of his favorite selections, s'The Warrior Bold" which resulted in calling forth loud
 
 dering of ''Mason's Farewelr by qarrtette composed of Hofer, Potter, Jones and Hor- ton. It was finely sung. The concert con- cluded with an operetta entitled "Grass Wid- ows," given by Miss Mary E. Turner, Miss Lillie Whittemore and Mir. M. Griggs, with Miss Sadie Turner and Miss Susie Butler as accompanies RIt was rendered in 8 manner that would compare most favorably with professional operatic artists. The sweet and charming voices of Miss Turner and Miss Whittemore fairly captivated the audience and called forth rapturous applause, and it is hoped another occasion will soon occur when the public will again have a chance of wit messing this pleasing operetta in one of our larger audience rooms. This was Miss Whit temore's first public appearance in song. She is 8 daughter of Dr. F. J. Whittemore. At the conclusion of the concert the audience ad- journed to the armory under the Lodge room and there enjoyed few hours in social promenade, there being several hundred pres ent, composed of a goodly number of the belles and fashionables of this city The prompting, by W. w. Smith, was as good as usual, and the music excellent. The dances numbered sixteen and many of the guests showed great skill and perseverance in trip ping the light fantastic.
 The executive committee at a meeting held l passed vote rendering their thanks to the la- l dies and gentlemen who took part in the pro- | gramme of the concert.

The Republican State Convention to elect delegates to the national convention at Ohica- go will be held in New Haven April 2.
 The meeting of the State Central Commit tee to aid the convention was held in Hartford Tuesday evening, but only seven of the 21 members were present, the heavy snow storm preventing many from attending. Afew were represented by substitutes. A special from Hartford to the New York Times says ''There was no talk concerning presidential candidates. The sentiment of the Repubi- cans as to Grant has not materially changed since year ago, when the Times made can vass of the views of leading men, but it is known that some leading ofice-holders have taken hold in MT. Sherman's interest, and hope to give him some assistance in the State. The prospect of much success is not, however, encouraging. The Blaine feeling is not strong, though there is more expressed than for Sher- man, who could not carry the State, and it is certain Blaine could not. Grant could carry it against any candidate. The delegation will probably be for Grant, with possibly instruc- tions to vote for Connecticut candidate if 8 good chance offers"
