a Silcnco Party

We We're invited to q silence party simply
TO spend the evening by nn informal noto us
follows:
MY DEAR Miss RoGERS-I intend having IL
frw friends TO pass the evening on Tuesday
nest to meet my sister, Miss Aldrich, and
hope You will be able TO be one of the nun.
Der. am yours sincerely,
ABBY L. WHITE.
You will notice in the invitation nothing
was said about what VT were to do; we were
simply invited for the evening. One of the
elements of success of such n party is to have
it IL surprise.
AS the entertainment was given in the
country, we had all assembled by s o'clock.
When We arrived our host opened the door,
and instead of the merry good evening we
had expected TO hear, all he did was to put
his finger on his lips and say hush and
pointed to IL sign Oh tho wall, which said in
large letters, printed on n piece of cardboard,
"Be quiet, don't wake tho babies" AS there
were quite Il number of children in the
famiiy, | thought ut first it literally meant
what it said. So we werc very quiet while
removing our wraps.
After this we were all presented with u
card prcttily painted n flower and having Il
motto OH it that had something TO do with
silence, Mine said, PUT u seal upon thy
lips and another, Speech is silver, silence
golden" We each also had a pad of paper
and n nicely sharpcncd pencil. The host in
Produced those Who wcro not acquainted by
writing on his pad tho usual form of intro
duction, and then would begin n written con-
vcrsation. OF course any one could write to
any one else i'll the room, simply passing the
pad to the one they wished to converse with.
On tho sides of the room wcro signs in large
letters such rs: "Be Quiet" Don't Talk"
keep Still"
at the end of the hour the host said: Nov
you have all been SO talEativc that by thi,
time you must DO well acquainted, so wo Will
end the silence party with some games.''
You might think this form of entertain
ment would be oppressive. Far from it. Try
it and sec if your guests don't talk moro and
laugh moro after an hour OF an hour and Il
half of this amusement than they ever did
before. Good Housekeeping.

After The CenteDniaI.

New Haven people who were at the cen- tennial Hooked home yesterday. Hundreds came back the day before. All reported a glorious time despite the jam of people they encountered. They also universally admit ted being excessively weary, and glad after all that centennial celebrations of this gi- gantic kind are not of frequent occurrence.
 About 75,oO0 people went to New York over the Consolidated road during the cen- tennisl. The bulk of the extra travel over the road will be done with by tonight. The New Haven steamboats carried unprecedent- ed loads of passengers.
 The one Chapel street store closed all day during Tuesday was that of Marsden 0. Per ry, the fancy goods merchant, who was form erly for twenty years in charge of, and Eu- ropean buyer for, one of the most important departments of the famous A. T. Stewart dry goods emporium
 A train of 2S empty passenger cars came up the Consolidated road yesterday afternoon to New New Haven. They had been used to accommodate the great centennial rush and were being taken back to the shops.

NEW STREET

TO Be Opened From DfxwelI Avenue
 to Ashmun Street Between York
 square and Bristol Streets Much
 Needed Public Improvement - Lots
 Already Secured - Four New ResI.
 dences to be Erected This Summer
 A Very Desirable Locati0n-Desirable ble
 and Valuable Building Lots.
 New Haven is growing rapidly and desir-
 able building lots in proximity to the center
 ot the city are growing scarce. It is rare
 opportunity, therefore, and one which is evil
 dently not long to remain open, that is offered
 Tn the very desirable lots now put on the
 market on the new street next above York Square, running from Dixwel avenue to- ward Ashmun street, which is soon to be ex- tended 300 feet further and connect with Ashmun street. The location, it will be seen, is very desirable one. The land lies finely, is as level as floor and two lines of horse cars are easily accessible. The plot is only ten minutes easy walk from the post office, and but few minutes ride by the | cars. Fine residences and grounds on York Square flank the lots on the eastern side oi l the street, and the situation at all points is free from objection. The lots are each 50x10C 1 feet. There are 1850 feet in all, and foul ! lots have already been secured, on which | four houses costing on an average $5, COG each will be erected this summer by pur- chasers desiring pleasant homes of their own. All the land will be placed only in the hands of desirable parties. The. price per foot asked is extremely reasonable, and it is | safe to say that no land of equal desirability | and proximity to the center can be obtained at so moderate figure.
 l The opening of the new street will be ! recommended at once to the common coun. | oil, being unanimously favored by the street \ committee. Beside the frontage on Dixwel avenue it opens up to the market ], $50 front l feet of land, which now taxed at outside rates, will be assessed at full taxation rates Then with the tract built upon as it surely l will be at an early date now that the street 1 is to be opened, the city will ere long gain an | addition of at least $200, 900 taxable property \ to its grand list. Aside from this, the ] opening of the new street will be | a great public accommodation as the 1 block from York Square to Bristol street l (between which the new street will inter- I vene) is 1,25O feet long, making access be- tween Dixwell avenue and Ashmun street and adjacent streets quite circuitous trans action. It is one of the longest blocks in the city from Bristol street to York Square. Already beside those who are to build on the new street, many more enquiries are being made from responsible parties indicating
 that the plot will not long be in the market
 and will all be taken by parties desiring to
 erect comfortable we'll built houses for them
 selves. Applications may be made to Henry
 0. Pardee, Esq, No. S38 Chapel street.

THE NATIONAL CAME.

New Haven Takes n Brace and Ties
 Newark in a Ten Inning Game-The
 Umpire Dishonest, Not as an Excuse,
 Hut the Truth.
 NEWARK, N. J., May 2.-The New Ravens to-day showed that they had the true mettle in them even if they were defeated twice. The umpire, Grace Pierce, who was expelled from the National league staff for dishones ty, aroused the ire of President Shoemaker of the Newark team, who says that he shall not umpire another game in Newark while he has any authority. The National does not expel an umpire on unfounded charges. Both pitchers put up an excellent game, only eight hits being made of each. New Haven would have won had it not been for Sulli- van losing his head in the ninth inning and letting in four runs. In the ninth Corcoran was forced to stop playing by the umpire on account of his protesting against his decision. Lally took his place and hit the ball for g home run the first strike he made. The work of New Haven's ielders was excellent especially by Brady. Cahill and Walsh each banged the ball for three bags. Sullivan was hit by pitched ball but was not hurt be. yond bruise. The tie will be played off to. morrow. The following is the score:

Obieetionable Uae of Ammonia.

Ammonia has its origin in filth. It is the result of decomposition. Both vegetable and animal matter, undergoing the process of de- cay, exudes ammonia gas. Ammonia should pass from, but not into. the human system. Such is the order of nature; yet some manu- lecturers cheapen baking powder by intro ducing this objectionable substance as a supplementary rising power. Consumers who have doe regard for cleanliness and hea1thfulness should institute close seru- tiny as to the constituent clements of the baking powder which they purchase. The formula of Cleveland's superior baking powder is published, and in it's use the pub lie has ample guarantee as to it's purity, healthfulness and efficiency.
