Sheridan Councils Annual at City Hall
 Brilliant Affair.
 The inglorious old City Hall was not the cheerless and uninviting place last evening that it has the reputation of being. The walls and gallery front were hung with flags and ensigns, ,and festoons of red, white and blue bunting depended from the cen ter of the ceiling. The floor was covered with crash and the stage set to garden scene. These slight touches of the decor ator had a marvellous effect upon the auditorium, and when the merry party of dancers had assembled to attend the third annual concert and reception of Sheridan Council, Knights of Columbus, it pre- sented an animated scene. The gal leries and the seats under them were filled when the Amphion full orchestra took their places among the exotic plants on the stage. The concert programme comprised six numbers and Leader Ru- dolph's orchestra was heard at it's best. MT Rudolph's solo on the trombone was vigorously applauded, and the closing selection, "Echoes from Ireland," elicited storm of applause. The late arrivals saw one of the largest and most brilliant parties that was ever given in this city. It is esti- mated that at least 300 people were pres ent.
 The grand march was formed at 9:2O and the promenade began to the music of the orchestra 10 minutes later. Grand Knight J. J. Mcdonald with Mrs Mcdonald led, 142 couples following, including many guests from out of town. Considering the number of people thA promenade was a remarkable success. There was necessarily a little crowding at the turns, but it was 8 pleasing sight as seen from the galleries. The charms of the ladies were enhanced by elegant toilets and the young men looked their best in their Prince Alberts and cutaways, set off with button hole bouquets Prof Prutting of Hartford called the numbers in a clear, strong voice. There was cessation of the festivities for supper at the Scovill House, after which dancing was resumed, many finger ing until the last number was finished. The manner in which Sheridan Councils third annual was conducted is 8 credit to the management. With the ad- vantage of past experience they were en- abled to give more attention to details and everything passed without hitch. It vii occupy an important page in the socia | history of the council.

BASE BALL IN WATERBURY. There May Be Team Here and Ther


 No decisive action has as yet been taken toward the resurrection of the Eastern League, although President Taylor of Dan bury has been quietly looking over the field and making calculations. The men behind the enterprise in this city maintain painful reticence on the subject when questioned as to the chances of Wa terbury having professional team next season. The stockholders of the associa- tion in this city have certainly not coined much money out of the business during the four years that Waterbury has had hand in professional baseball, but on the contrary, have always been handi- capped by the dropping out of clubs in the middle of the season. Waterbury has been in baseball for the sport there was in it, and is the only city in the State that has been in at the close of four successive seasons. It is the backbone of baseball in Connecticut, has won more games, pro- noted more players into the National League, and withal declared as small divi- dends as probably any city in the State Without baseball Waterbury would be only commonplace, back-number town like Bridgeport or Meriden.

Lily Clay's Gaiety Company will give a performance at City Hall Wednesday even- ing.

The Little Devils Revep is certainly quaint idea and it deserves the splendid success it is meet ing. It is booked indefinitely, and will unque stionably run along peacefully and prosperously, and fill our wintry even ings with a merry round of music and laughter"

territory, that most if not all of the
diseased cattle have been found to
have come from south of San Fran
cisco.
The statement made day or two
since by public official that the
disease first came from a herd OF
cattle that had been driven from
Oregon, is now understood to be
/ founded on misinformation. Oregon
cattle and Southern California cat
tie were placed together on the same
range and the foreman thought at
first the disease arose from the
Oregon stock, while later the Oppo-
site was found to be true.
Again the Butchers Protective
Association was addressed by a. S.
Mercer, Of the national bureau of
animal industry, also by DR.. Bow
hill, the surgeon employed by the
board Of health. Many startling
facts were revealed to the San Fran
cisco butchers association at arecent
investigation. They discovered
California cattle were more or less
diseased in every district south Of
San Francisco to the Mexican line.
Twelve out of every 100 personswhO
die with consumption contract it
from using either the milk or meat
Of cattle diseased with tuberculosis.
Thirteen were found and condemn
ed few days ago by the market
inspector, which were 50 near gone
that they could hardly stand up to
be knocked down, and yet they
were about to be butchered and put
upon the market. At this rate there
was no telling how much diseased
meat had been run in on the mar
kets, because the city had employed
but one market inspector, and no
one man, be he ever so skilful,
could begin to attend to all the
work. In round terms the San
Francisco meat markets were con-
demned as absolutely rotten.

The question of diseased meats Is

summons two months old, to return
to America. When 1 reached my
)old home my dear adopted father
was dead, and 1 was thrust into the
world penniless. The lawyer who
attended to all of my benefactor's
legal affairs told me there was surely
a will, leaving me everything, but
it could not be found. The nephew
claimed the entire estate and sold
the homestead. I was stunned and
came to my old home to find q
stranger in possession.
"Bless my soul! Your adopted
fathers name didn't happen to be
Locksley, did it? This didn't hap
pen to be the homestead, Ell? And
your name isn't Willard Locksley,
/ is it?n
"You know me then?"
'Not a bit of it. But why didn't
you tell me your name instead OF
masquerading under another one? ?''
"My name is Willard Proud
When I lost all else Mr.. Locksley
intended to give me, L gave up the
name l held only by his adoption y
"Oh, that's it. Well, Mr.. Proud,
I had not been here a month when
| found the will of Mr.. Locksley in
that queer old desk in my bed room.
Mayme wanted the desk, and when
we emptied it we found this inn
portant document behind one of the
drawers, very snugly hidden, but
quite accidentally, Ijudge. Isent it
to your lawyer, who informed me
that young Mr.. Locksley had dis
appeared"
"The property is mine, thenW
ayes, suppose there will be some
delay about selling the house again,
and it is a bother to me, since l
really feel at home here"
"But why need you sell it again ?
You know my love for Mayme, and
if she will listen to me now that l
dare speak"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes a! Bless me, how
forgetful am! Then 1 needn't
assist you to that position, eh?'
"No: But 1 can never forget the
kindness that offered it to me-"
"Yes-yes-and you won't take
our acknowledgements away
from us all at once, then?"
There was flush of excitement
in the quiet neighborhood when the
missing heir appeared, but Mayne
"listened when Willard dared to
speak, " and "when the prince came
riding by" a sweet faced princess
was reigning at his side,

he had II noble ancestry. He in

Dear Marguerite,

1 knew a maiden sweet, whose name was
Marguerite,
But, oh ! her charms to picture l despair
The color of her eyes was the June blue u

And woven out of sunshine was her hair.

And Joy was mine to be her chosen lover:
How bright the futures hue while love is
gcmmed with dew,
And irrdescent wings about it hover!

And now ! call on NIargurite no more!
