 The Readings Given by MT. F. Hop- skinson smith and Thomas Nelson = Page at Proctor's Yesterday After
 noon.
 Quite large audience greeted the two authors, Mir. F. Hopkinson Smith and Thomas Nelson Page, yesterday afternoon at Proctor's opera house. It is sufficient of the negro dialect and at times greatly amused their hearers, at others affecting them deeply by the pathos of the selec- tions. The first selection rendered was ''Marse Chan" by MT. Page. It is a most pathetic story admirably told in the negro dialect of 8 young Confederate officers love and his death in a brave, heroic charge. The next reading was by MT. Smith, selections from ''Colonel Carter of Csrtersville." Colonel Carter is the per sonifcstion of the polite, proud, hospita- ble and improvident southern gentleman, and Mir. Smith's reading was most ex- pressive of his character. It was perhaps the most humorous piece on the program. MT. Page then read selection entitled "Pulaski's Tournament" the story of a colored boy, ''the mos wortles' ob de lot" who very near became the means of his fathers being hung. This rascally young negro had gone to Wash ington after the war, which MT. Page says was to a negro only another name for heaven, and there he had "attained to the glory of collar and creevat and 8 seegsr. all of which he Haunted before his old as- sociates and his indignant father, much to their sstonishment. Pulaskis adventur- ous spirit and 'twor hessness" are capitally told in the story. The last selection was by MT. Smith, entitled Captain Joe," the story of man who inserted his entire body in a hole in ferrybost that had been run into by another vessel, thus sav- ing many human lives. MT. Smith said that the story of Captain Jee was literally true and that Captain Joe was Captain Thomas A. Scott of New London, the fa- nous wrecker. It is most intensely e1- citing story and would more than repay one's reading it.
 The readings were given under the aus pices of the Ladies' Society of United Workers and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large and cultivated audience present and was a success. MT. Page and Mr. Smith are both young authors of note whom everyone can enjoy reading and from whose pens we will doubtless be fire | quently favored with new works. There is something 80 refreshing and simple ir their works, yet pervaded with such ar undercurrent of passion of psthos that one | cannot help but be charmed. It is hoped that they like New Haven we'll enough tc return at no distant date.

 the New Pastor Rev. MT. Hand-A
 Fine Program.
 very pleasant reception was extended to the Rev. J. H. Hand, the new pastor of the East Pearl street M E. church, last evening. At s:15, when the exercises be- gan, about 400 members of the church and congregation were in attendance in the Sunday school room, which looked very pretty in decorations of towering and fo- liage plants, pictures, etc., which were tastefulIy arranged around the platform. The committee of arrangements consisted of L. w. Moody, William s. Johnson and Frank Tompkins. Mir. Tompkins was se- lected to preside.
 The program of exercises was as follows: Se- lection, Welcome Glee," by male choir. George Dodman leader; piano solo, Miss Goodell; reef tation, Miss Nina Sperry; duet-guitar and man. dolin-Messrs. Peck and Russell; selection, male choir.
 The pastors of the severalM E. churches Of the city and the local clergy of Fair Haven were invited and several were pres ent to add their greetings to the new pas tor. The addresses were full of congratu- lation to the Rev. Mir. Hand and with the added desire that his ministry might be greatly blessed. At the close of the recep- ton refreshments were served. MT. Hand has been with his new congregation three Sundays and his sermons have been great ly appreciated. As a pastor he is much and pastor is likely to be very profitable.

Those who were so Fortunate as to
attend Blind Toms Concert last
Tuesday night, had the pleasure of
seeing and hearing most wonder
full exhibition of musical ability.
To hear him peform on the piano
is trest th one does not often
have tn, pleasure of erjoying. His
limitations Of music box, 6aujo,
church organ and guitar were so
natural that it would be I'm possible
to distinguish them from the origi-
malls. Another of his feats was to
play "Yankee Doodle" with his left
hand, "Dlxie" with his right, and
sing i"Tremp, tramp, tramp, the
Boys are Marching at the SINE
time. Tom introduces himself, and
does all the explaining of the diff
ferent features. Having heard his
former manager introduce him,
and make other necessary remarks,
hundreds of times, he become so
familiar with the words he used that
he now speaks them himself. He
always speaks Of himself in the third
person. He is not only q fine per-
former on the piano, but also sings.
His imitation of the speech of Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas, made at Vicks-
burg in 1860, which he heard while
giving an entertainment there,
showed his ability to remember and
reproduce anything that he has
once heard. One Of the most en-
ioyable and interesting selections
which he played was the description
of the Battle of Manassas. He first
represented the Southern Army
leaving Richmond, to the tune Of
"The Girl l Left Behind me-" and
the Northern Army leaving Wash.
ington, to the tune Of "Dixie.'
Some sweet, soft music was then
played, representing the eve before
the battle. Then came tho buglei
of Beaurcgard, and then, like an
echo, those Of Mcdowell. Mex
was heard "DIxie,," the Marseille:
Hymn, and other martial pieces
during which there was an incessanI
roar OK cannon. The arrival Of the
train bringing Gen. johnson and re
Inducements for the Southern Ar

Horse Thieves Around.

The thieves have been working
in the vicinity Of Cumberland, mp
until Wednesday night when they
swooped down on Green street.
Until that evening Mr.. g. Hast,
who resides in beautiful house on
Green street. with all the necessary
outbuildings, such as stable, corn
house, feed house and implement
house, has always thought himself
safe from burglars, but Wednes-
day night he found out that he was
mistaken.
lie and his wife went down town
early in the evening and when they
returned, about 10 o'clock, he said,
81 think will go down and see
how the stable is secured" lie
wore gum shoes and when lie open
ed the gate that leads out into tbs
pathway along the river. he noticed
the stable do open. lie at first
thought it had been left open
tn ,eugh the carelessness of one of
his hands, but while he stood there
he saw a man emerge from the door
and peer up and down the road.
1t was very plain to Mr.. Hast
that this. was not one of his men, so
be stood still and watched the man.
The thief entered the stable again
ard again reappeared at the door.
Then Mr.. Hast called out: "What
ara you doing here and what do
you want 2" The man, who was
standing within ten feet of him,
made no reply, but started on a
dead run towards the West Vir-
gina bridge. Mr.. Hast yelled af-
ter him, IF you don't stop | will
shoot y but the man spell on his
way and was soon lost in the dark
ness. Mr. Hast WAS unarmed.
The two horses in tae stable the
thief had in readiness for flight,
and 1t is supposed that the man in
tended to take the horses over the
bridge and oil tn ough w. Va, to
either Romney or Moor, fl Id. How
ever he was unsuccssful and barely
got away himself Cumberland
