Maine Men In Connecticut

In recently published popular biography
Of COnnecticut's leading citizens. in which
are sketches of 700 men of more or less prom
inence there are but nine natives of Maine
to be found. These include three graduates
of Bowdoin-Rev. Thomas K. Noble. born In
Norway, and VIM. Cothren and John l..
Hunter, lawyers, one born In Pennington
and the other in Gardiner. Col. Jacob L..
Greene, the well known president of the
Connecticut Mutual, was born In Norway
and there are two other insurance men,
John G. Webster born in Kingfeld and All
mond +. Mason, born in Waterviile. The
latter, by the way, Is described as war cor
respondent of the Portland Daily PRESS.
Sam Fessenden. the we'll known politician is
a native OF Rockland, Amos Whitney, sup

works, is a native of Biddeford, and John N

when Maine men emigrate If they 90 beyond
Massachusetts they are apt to 20 a long way
beyond. Any state north Of the Ohio or
west Of the Mississippi would show a much

THE SECOND sToCKBRIDGE.
Speaking Of Campanini, who will appear
In the grand Campanini-DeVere concert in
the Stockbridge course tomorrow evening,
the Boston Post says:
given last evening at Music Hail. His selec-
tiops were Celeste Aida" the romanZa
from Carmen" and the Dukes song from
"Rigoletto." He was in excellent condition
and master of his voice. He still charms I;
his voice still thrills, still woos, and even to-
day there is no tenor upon the operate or
concert stage in this country who can COM
pare with him in the skillful management of
the voice. He is, in a word, the embodi-
ment of healthy Italian traditions"
The World says of Mile. DeVere:
SMILE. DeVere was heard with delight In
the Bell aria frem Delibes's "Lakme." She
reveals all the superb beauty, the brilliancy
of execution and delicate coloring of her
voice, and makes one regret that she cannot
be heard in grand opera during the season."
Tickets can be had at Stockbridge's.

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Ladies' Night at the Young Mems
Republican Club Rooms.

The members of the Young Mems Repub-
lican Club have given so many successful en-
tertainments before that Of last evening
that it would seem to be difficult to surpass
them. 1t was the unanimous opinion of the
friends of the members present at the recep-
ton that previous efforts had been outdone.
A large number of members. with their lady
friends, filled the club rooms, which had
been prepared In very attractive manner
for the occasion. The formal reception oc :
cupied the first half hour of the evening
The most interesting feature of the evening
was the singing of the Haydn Quartette.
The members of the quartette are well
known and popular singers of this city. and
individually require no mention; but their
quartette singing Is of unusual excellence.
Their voices blend beautifully, showing
much practice, and the numbers Of the pro-
gramme were rendered with expression and
In most finished manner. After the con-
cert programme was ended, an enjoyable r
der Of dances, the music for which was fur
nished by Gilbert, followed. Whist occu-
pied the attention of such as preferred it to
dancing In the intermission dainty
lunch, spread by Corbiu II. Smith, was
served. Shortly after midnight the large as
sembly departed, with many expressions of
delight from the guests of the evening.

Living What.

The most brilliant novelty presented by
the management of the fair for dumb ami
mails will be the game of Living Whist. This
dance, all in one. Already fashionable at
Euglish lawn parties and in London ball
rooms, 1t has been seen only once on this
side of the Atlantic, at Philadelphia under
the direction of Mrs. George B. Mcclellan.
In this game, not only the players but also
the cards are alive and intelligent. The
four gentlemen, members of the Cumberland

ate players of hands composed of Young
society people. Royalties and two spots, all
are dancers elegantly costumed-and every
card will be winning. If not In the game, at

to the cut, ia dealt to the four players, each
hand occupying corner of the space on the
floor.

according to the dignity Of kings and queens,
the vivacity Of jacks, or the cheerfulness of
lesser cards. Every trick has its own
figure, with music continually chang
ing. from. minuet to waltz or qu'ckstep
As the tricks are taken they range them
selves near the winners. The glory Of the
odd trick remains with - The list of
