Frank Frayne's ssNerve.o
Hiram tho Norr Xorlz S,,,,


The late Frank Ives Frayne of the blood
and-thunder drama had wonderful knack
in managing the animals that appeared on
the stage with him. To inquirers who
wondered how he did it he always replied
that the secret lay in his GOODNESS in time
of danger and in his presence of mind. He
called it NERVE" But there was some
thing else in Frayne besides nerve. His ami
mails were always in his thoughts, and while
he ruled them with rod of iron thew
obeyed him because he instinctively knew
when to be hard and when to be gentle,
In summer on his farm near Madison, M,
he had many of his wild animals tied to
the posts of the board fence. Any pleasant
day Frayne might be seen walking along
the fence petting or feeding two or three
bears, some monkeys and hyenas, and 9TH
or members Of his curious happy family
strung at intervals in front of the house.
Frayne was very proud of Old Duke, or
Bob Ingersoll, as his stage name went, the
lion that killed his Clydesdale stallion four
years ago. 1t was Frayne's habit to carry
in his pocket pictures of Old Duke, which
he gave to friends at the conclusion of q
story how Old Duke had killed three men
at one blow each with his paw. The story
was founded on fact. Frayne had photo
graphs also of Old Duke lying down with
bantam perched on his name. The hen
and lion were friends of several years. No
one but Frayne had ever been able to con-
quer Old Duke.

Hon. Abijah Catlin, who died at his
home in Harw:nton Tuesday morning at
the age of eighty-six, was well known in
all parts of the state and had not few
personal friends in New Haven who valued
his friendship and held him in high es-
tenn. He was a representative in 1888
and 40, in 1851, in 1862, in 1865, in 1874
and in 1879. In 1874 he was senator
Many in New Haven remember the active
part he took in legislative sessions held in
the old state house in New Haven. He
was one of the sturdy, staunch republi-
cans whose voice gave no uncertain sound
He was comptroller in 1S47-8-9, and
| school fluid commissioner in 1862. He
| was graduated from Yale in 1895, and
studied law with the Hon. William S.
Hollibird, at one time lieutenant governor
of the state. After practicing a few
years at Winsted he went south, living at
Greensboro, Ga, about five years. Upon
the death of his father in 1887 Mr.. Catlin
returned to Harwinton, at which place he
lived up to the time of his death. For
| many years Mr.. Catlin was Judge of pro-
bate, and retired in 1875, when he had
| reached the age of limitation. During
| the latter years of his life he was several
| times urged to represent his town again
| in the legislature. He refused, however
The last time his name was before the
| people in 1880, when he was presi-
DENTAL elector on the republican ticket.

Buying movement In the Gr6nSerS
The Close Fairly Active.
NEW YORK, April Is.
There was evidently little doing in the stock
market to-day by the more influential operators,
and outside of the Wizards, the three leading
grangers and the indussrials, there was no ami
nation in the market. No feature was shown in
any of the specialties except in Tennessee Coal,
which dropped away per cent, but recovered
most of the loss later heavy buying move
ment in the grangers followed and all through
the afternoon prices slowly advanced, while to-
ward 2 pm. the movement was accelerated and
the most positive strength shown, all the
grangers and the industrials moving up rapidly
on large transactions. The general list followed
slowly, however, and many stocks at the close
were still below their last nights figures, but in
many of the leaders material gains were scored
even in the face Of unfavorable news from the
west and the further engagements of gold for
shipment Even the Wizards, which had been
the weak point in the market rallied with the
rest, and their losses were reduced to small frac-
tions only. The market finally closed fairly &C
tive and firm at or near the best figures.
Railroad bonds were quiet and in close sympa-
thy with the sluggish temper of the general mar
ket for stocks and the ST. $4,000 of business done
resulted in only slight changes, though the firm
ness of the late dealings made advances the
more numerous at the close. The Atcbisons
were again the only active specialties the in
comes furnishing $4,000 to the total.

Oh, haste to the Eggletaire,
The elite of the town will be there;

And royal good time
