COMPILED pARL,Ncs THEY"
The Babies Reception at MRS. KeI-
sey's YESTERDAY.


A very unique entertainment was devised
py the Ladies' Circle of the Second Parish,
70 pay Tor the carpets In the vestry 1t was
reception given to babies at the residence
Oh >. 3. Kelsey. % Deer;ng street. The hos
tess' margaret Louise, aged six months, was
zoo young to realizs the Importance. and
happily, too young to feel the responsible
Ties OF her position. The reception was from
3to 8 p. m. yesterday, and small admission
lee was charged. About 125 ladies were
present, and few gentlemen. In the par
lors, Russian tea was served by Mrs. Fred
Kelsey, and chocolate by Miss Carrie Nc
Dowell. free, and were dispensed to every
guest. Mrs. Merrill and Mrs. Barrowes had
charge OF the dining-room, where ice cream
and cake were sold and there was large
patronage.
But the interest was centered In the
chambers where the babies were in charge
of mothers and nurses. There were fifteen
present. Many more were expected, but
owing to the unpleasant weather many did
not venture out with their little ones. The
babies we're for the most part good natured.
They were dressed In the regulation white,
with satin ribbon badges. on which their
names and ages were inscribed in gold let
ters. Two bright looking ones i(twins) were
brought from the Orphan Asylum. These
were Of English parentage. The Swedish
nation had one representative, and there
were two noble little specimens of the col
ored race-tiny atoms of humanity, one four
and the other six weeks old. With these
exceptions the children were Americans.
They made pretty picture when they were
all seated on the floor In a circle, with the
exception of the two youngest, who were
too small to be out Of arms. The whole af-
fair was most creditably managed, and was
much enjoyed. The following is list of
the baby guests:
Blanche NJ. Cooling, aged IL months.
Anna M. Johnst0ne, months.
Ethel Hines, months.
William Arthur Williams, 6 weeks.
Gladys Robinson, months.
Blanche l.. Howell, weeks.
Margaret L. Kelsey, months.

Clarence B. Blake, months.

1t is somewhat amusing to note the changes
CT front made by politicians nowadays in
their efforts to save their political scaIps.
Their promises for the future frequently
read strangly beside the record Of their past
performances. There is something like
death bed repentance in their sudden
changes of heart. The constituents of
these men are not always verdant enough to
be deceived by such filmsy and hollow expe-
dents. Such changes of front, enforced by
the pressure of public sentiment and made
IN the face OF impending disaster, lack the
ring of genuineness. They are altogether
too transparently thin to deceive intelligent
people.

to adulterate wooden fab

years, and the constantly
increasing demand for

TRUMBULL.
BIRDSEY B. PLUMB.


 After useful and honored life, Mr Plumb passed over the river of Death, Thursday, 12th. S6 years old; seven weeks, almost to day, after the death of his wife. Squire Plumb had been in failing health for some months, but was about the house as usual till within about a week of his death and seemed to suffer from no marked disease, other than debility incident to old age. The funeral was attended, Saturday, from the Congregational church by many of the older and more substantial people of the town, besides goodly number of rela- tives and friends. Rev MT White, his pastor, made few appropriate remarks upon the brevity and uncertainty of life and the necessity of being always pre- pared for death and then gave place to Rev MT Merwin of Poquonock, his friend and pastor for 9 years, who delivered the eulogy in his usual happy manner. Mr Plumb, he said, was born and always lived in Trumbull. His principal em- ploynent was farming; q business which lies at the foundation of all trades and callings. He was teacher for many years and is said to have kept school inevery district in the toWM He was prominent in town affairs; held many minor offices; was town clerk for sever al years president of the Fairfield cQun-

 Some $500 has been raised to improve the turnpike and special town meeting is talked of.
 . The Farmers club is preparing for the annual convention, Tuesday, 24th, at Creamery hall. "Wastes on the farm" were discussed at H. B. Wakeman's on the 10th.
 Wallace Parsells has the sympathy of friends in the loss of an eight-year-old daughter, who died, last week, after a brief illness with diphtheria. The funer- al was attended at once.
 The annual convention of the farmers club will open about 10 o'clock, 24th, and will be of interest to all farmers. There will be no elaborate collation..

and the Iockwoods sought legal advice; but, as the railroad had then nearly fin ished, the work was not interfered with.
 Judge Glover went to Philadelphia, who have been there for several weeks and spent Sunday in New York. They have since returned to Fairfield.
 Only two members of the board of se- lectmen, Messrs Hawkins and Rufus E.. Jennings, were present at Mondays meeting, at which Attorneys Wakeman and Warehouse appeared to ascertain the views of the selectmen in regard to the Moloney bonds. At the previous meet ing, two weeks before, the attorney, rep resenting number of the solid citizens of the town, had asked that the select men ignore the action of the special town meeting in freeing Moloney's bonds men from all responsibility for the defi- cit found in Moloney's accounts. After legal consultation, the selectmen felt that they could not, in view of this meet Sg lection of the deficit from Moloney's bondsmen. "We cannot justly ignore the action of that meeting, for it was legal meeting," said one of the select men. The attorneys, however, while acknowledging that the call was perfect ly legal, deny that the vote was lawful and express confidence in the result when tried before the courts.

 Editor BEE-sorry you was not present to enjoy the teachers convention at Fairfield last Friday. You missed treat winch was enjoyed by nearly every teacher in town and many out oi it. I understand it's object was two-told. First, the instruction and encour- agement of the teachers thems selves. Thus far it was a success. Secondly, that the with their teachers and school committees. At present, they are comparatively strangers In this, it was an utter failure. After months ot preparation and much talk over it,only two members of the Board were interested enough to be present and only one ot those was of the committee Of three p appointed to % arrange it; by Prof Littlefeld just three of the Board were present. As for the school district com mittees, not a single representative of them could spare time from his onions to attend either meeting. Surely the town of Fairfield should be proud ot the present interest in full meeting ot the Board and greatest in terest when a row is imminent; poor girl teacher to be pulled over the coals, for instance. But ask any teacher about the town how much help and encouragement, how many practical suggestions, he she has received from the school authorities and note the look ot blank astonishment you re- ceive in answer. How much good was done by the Board for schools or teachers during the last five years? Do you, MT Editor, know of any? Prof Littlefeld struck very near home when he said, when politician he can be got rid of by putting him on the School Board. When will the people walk e up and put their best talent in such positions :? -[ Pedagogue's Friend.
