the two asylum carriages, left their lodge
room, having with them the talent for the
evenings performance, and reached the
hospital few minutes before 8 o'clock.
Shortly before the performance the
orchestra struck up march, and the
audience entered the room. II was made
up Of young and old, males and females,
and had they not been known to be de-
mented many Of them would never have
been thought to be so. The performance
was under the management of Jake Budd,

Director. The opening piece was by the
West End Minstrel Quartette, followed by
excellent singing by Samuel A. Kennedy,

Republican Senators to Shelve Nomi-
nations Where Information is Not
Furnished.
The Republican senators met in caucus
yesterday morning to determine as to the
best way to secure information relative to
the Presidents reasons for making removals
from Office. There was quite an extensive
discussion Of the question, speeches being
made by Senators Edmurds, Hale, Conger,
Fry, Dawes, Logan, Dolph, and others.
While there seemed to be no disposition to
raise an issue with the administration, n
majority Of the senators were Of the opinion
that, should the desired information be
withheld, the Republicans, In order TO do
justice to men suspended or removed, pre-
sumably for cause, will have TO take action
to secure 1t on refusal from the President
to give his reasons for making removal.
The decision reached by the caucus was
that, II the President and the heads Of de-
partments do not produce the required in
formation, the nominations are to be shelved
until something Of the character Of the
long as the President can," said one of the
senators, sand II there is to be a deadlock
we are prepared for it,"
II Is said that the heads of departments
are sending word to the Senate committees,
in response TO request for information,
that the President has not made known the
cause for the removal Of the persons in
quired after.

A gentleman who could not bear the West Hartford water, and only allowed it in the house for wash ing, found g fine spring of sweet water in his cellar. He drank that water with de- light for years until one day it stopped running.

SOME papers have been announcing the dates for next years fairs of certain societies in the Eastern Connecticut Trotting Circuit. This is premature. No dates for next year can be fixed except by ths circuit committee unless the society so fixing chooses first to withdraw from the circuit. In fact, the ac- tual fixing of date in that manner would be 8 virtual withdrawal from the circuit.
