1t is doubtful if Fairfield county or the
State can produce duplicate of the
Summer home of George d. Chapman of
Mill Plain as it energies from the hands
of the men who have been engaged upon
| it for months. Both house and grounds,
as mentioned from time to time in the
BEE, have been greatly changed. Con-
tracts for the house have been held by
sord mason, Coughlin Brothers painters,
all of Bridgeport and all but the latter
have finished their contracts. The most
noticeable feature of the exterior of the
house is the great tower of rough stones,
such as any farmer knows may be OBJ
tanned in only too great profusion from
his fields, with the rough edges outside
and the inner surfaces held fast by hid
den cement An addition at the rear
5lx3l and at the side 10x40 feet has been
built, while the veranda columns have
been removed to make room for new iron
columns of graceful design. A porte
cochere is on the west. Above the first
story, the siding has been removed and
shingle substituted and various peaks
and gables appear on the roofs. The
interior is magniticently fitted up in
quartered and panelled oak, the hall, bill
lizard room and dining room being cspec-
| tally fine. The latter has mosaic floor,
panelled ceiling, side walls, etc. and the
billiard room, i'll addition, has a 17-foot
ceiling, The cost of the alterations was
not less than $4,000, of which Mr. Jes-
sup's contract consumed about $4,000.

Orange, Mass, October IS, 1889.
This is to certify that have suffered from
Nervous Prostitution from my early childhood
had never known what it was to be well
from the time had cerebro spinal menengitis
at the age OF three years. The affiiction took
on such peculiar form that it baffied the skill
of all the physiciaes who had treated me. Al
ter all the efforts made in my behalf was no
better, but rather grew worse. For three years,
had been constantly under the best medical
skill of this country and still no hope of re-
covcry. My case was considered hopeless by
my friends and myself. At this juncture, was
advised to go to DIR Crawford, "a Cannon ST.,
Bridgeport. At this time, it was with fatigue
that walked II distance of three blocks had
no appetite could not sleep and the constant
pain the whole length of my spine made me n
most intense sufferer nearly all the time. 1t is
now six months since began treatment with
DIR Crawford and now have an excellent ap
petite, can sleep well nights, the pain i'll my
back has entirely gone and the nervous pros
tration is a thing OF the past. From what
know of the doctors treatment of others, as
well as my own case, ! can most heartily rec
ommend him to the afflicted everywhere.-S.

FRUIT-GR0WERS.
Several Interesting Essays Read at the Con-
YentiOn in Santa Cruz.

SANTA CRUZ, Nov 19.-The second days
session of the State Fruit-growers' Conven-
ton commenced this morning with an at
tendance augmented by several new ar
rivals from abroad. An essay was read by
E. j. Wickson on "The Practical Study of
Entomology in the Schools; also, one from
Alexander Craw on Insect Friends and
Foes" and one from III. X. Snow on ''Chem-
ical Fumiga tion." The last paper produced
the principal discussion OF the session. The
fruit men from the southern portion of the
State all claimed that fumiga,ion with hydro
cyanic gas was saving the orange orchards
of the State. They report the coming crop
of oranges to be the largest aud finest ever
grown in the State, with buyers already as
thick us grasshoppers. All the growers of
citrus fruits, apricots and prunes are very
enthusiastic over this season and the future
prospects.
At the convention this afternoon Elwood
Cooper, in behalf of the State Board of
Horticulture and donors, presented Albert
and pair Of diamond earrings for Mrs.
Koebee. This testimonial was in
recognition of the services of
Mr.. Koebele in discovering and introducing
the Australian beetle to this State, which
had proved to be Il parasite which destroyed
the white scale on fruit and ornamental
trees. The discovery Of this beetle is re-
garded by fruit-gr0werS as the salvation OF
the orchards of the State. President
Cooper referred to the services
of Koebele as the greatest ever
rendered the fruit interest of the State.
This evening complimentary ball was
rendered to the visiting fruitgrowers at the
Pavilion by the Native Sons and Daughters
Uf the county.
The Commissioners of Horticulture in at
tendance held convention of their own
this evening in the interest of the
agitation to better protect the
fruit growers against insect pests.
Commissions from twelve counties were
present Before adjournment the Commits
siOners will endeavor to formulate bill for
presentation to the coming Legislature.

her head buried In her arms, which were

was touched. He pitied the child in her
loneliness. Walking 10 the front OF the car
he sat down beside her and tenderly stroked
her curls. When he asked her name she
did not answer, but drew further away from
him. Where was she going? At this ques-
tion she looked sullen and cross. Would

The drummer then proceeded to tell the
child a fairy tale, and followed with another,

little face did not brighten. The child stared
through the window at the dim outlines Of

speeding. The drummer tried another

she, it is understood, is TO become within
year the bride of the Prince Of Naples, heir
TO the throne Of Italy.
Berlin tradesmen are not altogether salts
fed because the Princess received part of
her trousSeau from London and Athens.
The London orders are accounted for by
natural desire on the part of the Princess tS
obtain some of her dresses where her Imperial
mother, when Princess Royal of England,
bestowed her patronage.
One of the gowns made for her we dding
is of white satin, the front embroidered with
a tracery of pale pink flowers in light and

trimming to match, with true lovers knots.

lace bearing an empire design. The sleeves
are composed entirely OF similar lace.
a ball dress is OF satin of the
palest heliotrOpe, thckly garlanded with
double Naples volets. They border the
width. A similar band surrounds the Shoul-
ders, a narrower one encircling the waist and
forming point in front. A garland also runs
down the right side, and the whole skirt is
covered with misty veil of tulle in the tint
of the Yiolets. The sleeves are ruched in
satin and net and edged with violets. The
only afternoon dress made in London is
composed of silk in the reddish tone of
-heilotrope known as Persian lilac, scattered
over with white lilies Of the valleys. The
sleeves and collar are velvet, and there is
shaped band OF velvet at the waist. The
underwear of the royal bride is woven thin
at the waist and is a soft, wooen fabric
trimmed with lace, through which narrow
ribbons are run. The letter V and the i'm
perial' coronet are embroidered on every
article.

A DEMOCRATIC PLOT.
The Situation in New Hamp-
shire Explained.
4 Desperate Scheme Connected to Capture
the Legislature.
The Governor Inclined to Call an Extra
Session for the Passage Of Law to
Prevent The Outrage.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-In a letter to the
alton in New Hampshire is simply this:
The Republican candidate for Governor has
100 more votes than the Democratic candi-
date, but by reason of 1900 Prohibition votes
there is no choice and the election goes to
the Legislature. The Friday after the
election Democratic paper, the Manches-
ter Union, made this announcement of the
returns for members Of the LEGISLATURE:
"There have been elected a grand total OF
1873 Democrats and 100 Republicans"
Thereupon the Union declared that
this Republican majority should be
converted into Democratic majority of
not less than twelve. This scheme was to
be carried out first by excluding from the
roll of members elected forty persons,
twenty-seven of whom are Republicans and
thirteen Democrats, representing under the
census Of 1890 about 10000 inhabitants.
The second part of the plot was to admit to
membership thirty-fve persons, twenty
three of whom are Democrats and twelve
Republicans. representing only 1000 in
habitants. These alleged members come
from small "classed" towns. Last year
they were allowed only fourteen members.
As matter of fact and law they have no
right at all to seats in the coming House,
because the recent constitutional amend
ment abolished all ''classed" towns and al
lowed them to be represented only byspecial
permission of the Legislature. That per-
mission has not yet been given, and for the
very particular reason that at the last ses-
sion Harry Bingham, the Democratic can
didate for United States Senator, prevented
the passage of any act for the Republicans
of ''classed" towns in the Legislature.
Because the Republicans intend TO obtain
by proper measures the organization of the
House, which on any fair basis will have
Republican majority, the Democrats are
threatening revolution. They intend to
organize two Legislatures unless the State
is surrendered to them. Meantime the Gov
ernor and Council think of calling an extra
session for the election of clerk and the
passage Of some proper law TO secure an or
derly organization of the coming House and
to prevent civil strife.

was sentenced to six months imprisonment
New YORK, Nov. 19.-T. O'Connor, the
Irish envoy, said this morning that Dillon
left for Buffalo last evening for the purpose
of meeting O'Brien. Dillon has the draft
of manifesto to be issued by ParnelIs en-
voys in this country expressing confidence
in Parnells genius and devotion to the
Irish cause, and urging him to retain the
leadership. After consultation with O'Brien
as to the wording of the manifesto the docu-
ment will be issued.
T. P. Gill. NJ. p, this afternoon said the
Irish envoys in this country would rot issue
a manifesto, but he reiterated the statement
that they will support Parnell under all cir
cumstances. O'Brien and Dillon, Gill
thought, would not appeal from their sem
tences unless it might be to gain delay.
They will serve their sentences as soon as
they return to Ireland.
BUFFALO, Nov. 19-Dillon and O'Brien
say that no manifesto will be issued here.
When shown a cablegram announcing
they had been sentenced to twelve months
Imprisonment by the court at Clonmel,
Dillon and OBrien said they would return
to England when they get through here, re-
gardless of consequences. They will prob
ably not be through here until January or
February. They reiterated their intention

A Request That He Be Detailed for Duty at
tho San Francisco Land Office.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Special Agent
Sibbald of the General Land Office stationed
at San Francisco has written letter to the
Commissioner in which he asks that Special
Agent Norton, formerly stationed there, be
detailed to his assistance. Sibhald says that
Norton was the discoverer of the fact that
NJ. f. Reilly, who was indicted with John
A. Benson for frauds upon public surveys,
was recently engaged in the business of en-
tering Government timber LANDS with dun
my" entrymen, and had sent from San
Francisco four gangs of men-there being
forty-six persons all told-to make entries
in the Shasta Land District. Each of the
dummies" is to receive S1o0 for his share
of the plunder. Sibbald says that Norton is
well informed as to the facts in the Brad
ford-Story case, and his transfer would be
of benefit to the service.
