On Saturday evening Philip Kohler, Ober Bard or Grand Master of the Order of Har- ugari in the United States, was tendered a reception in Harugari Ledertafel hall by the members of the order In this city and their friends, many ladies being among the num- Der. Mir. Kohler was introduced by Weigand Schlein with appropriate remarks. Mir. Kohler in response delivered 8 fine address in which he explained the aims and objects of the order. In the course of his address he paid his respects to the Waterbury core spondent of the Register who stated that the Harugari was "composed of freethinkers and men who did net believe in 8 personal God" He refuted the idea entirely and said there was not the least foundation in fact for the statement. He said so far as the re- igious views of the order were considered they stood on par with the Masons, Odd Fellows and other kindred societies. The remarks of the grand master were well re- ceived, the ladies joining in the applause which the eloquent speaker received. Dur ing the evening Deputy Grand Master of the State Herman Thal, on behalf of the ladies' presented the distinguished guest with very handsome bouquet. Mir. KohIer in response paid glowing tribute to the work of the la dies in the promotion of the interests of the order.

Kohler left for Providence over the Shore Line road on Saturday at midnight and will attend meeting of the order in Rhode Island this week

Agnes Booths Bass.
tFrom the New York Journal


 Mrs. Agnes Booth keeps hotel She runs it in connection with her husband, Junius Brutus Booth, who is a brother of Edwin and them, never had much fame as an actor. Junius Brutus Booth was the first son of the great actor of that name, but he is 8 quiet, easy going man, who finds no greater pleas ure than by sticking to the summer hotel which his wife really manages. It is pretty place on the beach at Manhattan, and is called the Masconomo House. Mrs Agnes Booth, who, by the way, has just severed her con- nection with the Madison Square Theater, because the discomforts of travel were too great for her, delights in making her guests comfortable, and proves as good 8 hostess as abe is an actress Her knowledge of the cuisine almost surpasses that of French cook and while she, of course, does none of the labor of the kitchen, many of the best dishes served Cand the table of the Masconomo is equal to anything on the New England cosst) are the result of her ingenuity and fine taste. In the preparation of fish she is an expert, and some people say that fresh bass just, out of the water fried in cream according to Mrs Booths formula, is ore of the most de- icious things in the world. She herself IS quite an epicure, and she enjoys the good things of the table quite as much as any French gastronome. Throughout that sec- tion of the country the fame of Mrs. Booths table will compare to her fame as an artist here, where few know that her domestic tastes are so refined and perfected. It is the horror of the meals that are to be eaten in the average country hotel that have infu-

Great Scarcity of Woodoock.

From the Hartford Times.l
 The law is on, but the birds are of. Sports men and pot-hunters alike everywhere diEre- gard the foolish Connecticut law which pro- hibits the shooting of woodcock until the 1st of October; or, rather, they would snap their fingers at it. if there were any of these game birds to be found. Bird-baggers in this locality who have repeatedly been out with the deliberate intention of defytng the law have come back law-abiding citizens. be- cause of the scarcitH..of woodcock. There are none to speak of t6 be found in this sec ton of the State, and this fact has led to in- ouiries as to the status of the bird in other sections It is found that woodcOck are plenty in the shore towns, and also in the southern parts of the State generally. The early birds are plentiful in portions of Long Island, and some Connecticut shooters cross over to Montauk to bag the long billed deli cacy, and come back amply repaid for their trouble.
 Different theories are held among sports men to account for the scarcity of the wood- cock One or two are based on the late spring and the cold weather. One says that the cold destroyed the eggs, and another, who is ignorant of what he is talking about, thinks that the birds did not come to this part of the State at all, but, finding the weather in April too frosty, they stopped in the warmer spots further south. There have been woodcock in the swamps in this part of the valley this season, and broods have been raised, but the rapid drying up of the moist places since the end of June has probably driven them of. Some were seen in gar dens in the edge of Hartford as late as the 12th or 14th of July.
 The sportsmen in this locality have about given up the early birds. and are now lying back for fun when the flight birds come along. The true sportsman finds real pleas ure in bringing down an October bird, be. cause their flight is vigorous and strong, and it requires more skill to bag them than 1t does the weddings that fly in July. The game birds are being gradually thinned out. Year by year their decrease is noticeable. Thirty years ago it was not hard task for sportsman to bag two dozen woodcock in the swamp in the North Meadow, north of Hart ford, before breakfast. Now he is lucky man who could bag dozen in day. Must the woodcock go? He is the finest table bird that ever was cooked. But he is pur- sued to destfuction.
