The Excursion Season.

First Of the Season To-Day to Glen Island
 -The Church Picnic Season.
 To-day the popular Glen Island excursions begin for the season. A large Hartford party will make the trip. It is expected there will be six or seven carloads.

Many New Haven peo- pie will also take this first sail of the season to beautiful Glen Island.

Those who are fond of boating can either row in one of the POO row boats kept for the use of visitors, or sai around and about the islands in one of the steam yachts used for that purpose. Others will visit the many objects of interest on the island, such as the German cottage, the aviary, rife range, billiard hall, immense dancing pa villion, club house and geological gardens, Chinese pagoda, camera obscura, bowling alleys and many others. The music by Differs military band and Thomas or chestra will charm all who attend. The boat and island have special policemen for pre- serving order, so that no one need fear to take his family. In fact. the island is a great family resort.

Last Nightss Fireworks.

About hRlf-past eight o'clock last evening a crowd blocked the sidewalks on Chapel street for about half a block from Church street down towards Orange so that it was with difficulty that the usual parade of gaily- dressed, chattering shop girls could get through. The attraction at that particular spot on the street was the display of fre- works made by c. H. Rentz in front of his fruit store. As long as red lights and Roman candles held out the crowd stood and gazed with interest.
 The fireworks on the Green were mainly remarkable for their absence. Tonight the City's display will be made if the weather is favorable. These fireworks will be very fine.
 The firing of crackers was renewed last night It takes good deal to satisfy New Haven,s small boys.
 One of the finest private displays of fire works was made last evening at the residence of Edward J. filling, of the firm of Thonas J. filling & Co.,, on West Chapel street.

Three years ago the spirit Of all the towns
west Of tho Minnesota line was essentially sordid.
one wearied OF tho never-ending tale of specula-
ton and schemes for money-getting, but on a
closer acquaintance with these eager pioneers one
finds that they have more heart and generosity
thm people OF older settled states and a great
deal more public spirit, as far as lots and lands
ia their own town and vicinity are concerned.
People In Dakota three years ago were on the
"akirmish line OF civiliztion'' and felt bound to
mako a noise TO attract tho attention of the main
arm. OF homeseekera and induce Il to move up
to them. Now ali this is changed for the better
and the people are settled down to a healthy basis
and ore striving to make a competency honestly
and surely. Honestly, because wheat raising at
40 bushels of No. / hard to the ecre Is about the
only thing in Dakota that there is to make a man
honest and surely because the longer he sticks to
wheat raising the moro honest he becomes. To
eastern parties desiring homes we viii say We
have preachers to lock after your spiritual and
moral welfare and school teachers to correct the
faults Of your children, and if you come to the
james River Valley it viii never be said, when
q GBal settlement IS had, that you were Tx one
ofthe foolish virgins of old who wrapped her
saleut in q napkin and sunk it in a well. On the
contrary, your record will be that of q good hus-
bandman, who put his wheat in good, rich Jim
River soil and it produced more than q thousand
fold. And it came to pass that he, who had
nothing, had more ducats than he knew what to
do with.
mo other land, no other cline, on top of Gods
green earth,
Where land is free as church bells chimes, save
the land of Dakota dirt.
Here for a year of honest toll a home you may
insure,
And 4 IN the black and loamy soil a title will
mature.
No money needed until the day when the earth
itself provides;
Until you raise a crop of wheat-What can you
ask besides?"
