 Honorable Course In The Matter.
 Mir. H. T. Sperry of Hartford, State in- surance commissioner, resigned the insur. ance commissionership yesterday. The &C., tion was taken by MT. Sperry on account of hostile criticisms of his course in accepting insurance company advertisements for the Hartford Evening Posts Annual
 The following interview with Governor Harrison was had last evening:
 ''Is it true that MT. Sperry has resigned his office as insurance commissioner"
 "Yes; it is true.''
 'Are you willing to say anything more upon the subjecta'
 Justice to MT. Sperry requires me to say land l am glad to say it) that while he has committed serious indiscretion, which he frankly admits, do not, by any means, ao- cept the evil interpretation which hostile criticism might put upon it.
 'FIt was a grave error, but, as I think, nothing more It was done openly and pot in secret, and that fact, of itself, should re- lieYe him of the suspicion of bad intentions. It put him, however in an equivocal posi- ton from which it was important that he should deliver himself. That he has done.
 "From the moment when this matter be- came matter of attention and criticism MT. Sperry has acted honorably about it and in such manner as to entitle him to the favor able consideration and goodwill of the pub lie, so far as l know and believe"

 erosity Appreciated.
 Bunnelps Museum was literally packed last night on the occasion of the benefit in aid of the Grand Army Memorial day fund and there is no doubt that handsome sum will be realized. Manager Bunnell in full Grand Army uniform stood at the entrance to the museum, looking "every inch the soldier, J and by hi counsels materially aided in gu1d- ing the crowd through the narrow gateway to the hall above Commander Fox and Past Commander Sharpe of Admiral Foote post and Commander Gleason of Henry .. Merwin post were also stationed in the lobby to render any assistance to Manager Bunnell that he might require. The rush continued from the time the doors opened right up to the time when the curtain rose on the first act in the great drama "The Long Strike, :" when there was not vacant seat in parquet or gallery. This is not the first time that Manager Bunnell has shown his generosity toward the Grand Army in this way and that his kindness of heart is appreciated there can be no doubt. The expenses attend ing Memorial day increase from year to year owing to the fact that the number of soldiers graves in the various cemeteries is rapidly increasing, thereby calling for an increase of floral decorations and other expenses incl dent thereto. Notwithstanding this fact, the beautiful ceremony will continue to be ob- served so long as the Grand Army of the Republic continues to exist, which will be until the last veteran is laid beside his dead comrades. Then the duty will fall up- on the Sons of Veterans, who will continue to honor the memory of their ancestors by annually strewing their graves with flowers

It has probably never been surpassed by any crazy quilt ever exhibited in this city in several respects, viz, the i'm mense number of pieces of which it is com posed and the many representations of birds of plumage, butterflies, golden slippers, cats, fishes, initials, etc., in embroidery work. It has also over one hundred samples of we'd ding dresses, dresses of ye olden time and dresses of the present, in ncluding sample of Nellie Grant-Sartoris' wedding dress and one from the wedding gown of fhe wife of the first minister in North Haven. Several blocks in the quilt are made entirely from samples of wedding dresses. Among them are pieces of wedding dresses 150 years old. The quilt is made entirely of plush, silk and satin. It was exhibited in Dunkirk, N Y, while still unfinished and excited great at tention and admiration there. The quilt was made by Mrs. Mary A. Futile. wife of MT. w. J.

Where Their Power is Felt.

The noble army of martyrs to the lofty cause of boy eotting the COURIER have evi- dently made an impression upon few deal CTS in ''wet goods" It is scarcely to be wondered at that when a number of thirsty looking printers, whose reputation for get ting outside of gin, brandy, book beer and other refreshing beverages is so well estab- ished, make their demands known to the proprietor of saloon he should at once sur render. The loss of patronage which would follow a refusal to comply with the demand of the boycotters is simply frightful to con- template. We feel deeply for those saloon keepers who have been forced to yield to these '1abor reformers," but appreciate their ,,ositiop
