When the fact is known that 81
children were refused admittance to
the public school during the year
for lack of room, we have no doubt
that the people will appreciate the
urgent need of the school annex

Beausejour Park on July IL.

Some of our people will remember
that about six years ago there passed
through this place tribe ofApache
Indians and their famous chief, the
warlike Geronimo, who were cap
tured by the United States troops in
Arizona and sent to Fort Marion,
Florida, and placed under surveil-
lance. After becoming somewhat
civilized, the government decided
TO take them in the army and make
soldiers of them. Monday evening
about sixty members of the once
blood thirsty tribe passed through
Lafayette on their way to FortKeogo,
Arizona. Those who had seen them
six years ago were surprised to see
the transformation from wild
Indian to a civilized soldier of the
United States.

The Fourth in Lafa y~tte.

The discordant notes of the negro
band was the only thing that re-
minded the people of Lafayette that
Wednesday was the Fourth of July.
But we must congratulate friend
Lisbony for having thought enough
of the greatest of American days to
decorate his hotel with large num-
Der of very pretty flags. That's
right, Gus, show that you are as true
an American as you were a tereb. "

To Issue Bonds for Watervorks.
AS will be read in the proceedings
of the Town Council petition
signed by citizens was presented to
that body asking it to call upon the
Legislature to pass an enabling act
giving the town the power to issue
bonds for the purpose of construct
ing system of water works. 1t is
unfortunate that this step was not
taken sooner, as the Legislature
will adjourn next week, and as it
has it's hands full with other bust
ness more imp ortant to the State at
large it is not likely that the act
desired by the citizens of this town
will be passed.

their willingness to do everything in
their power to make this the most
brilliant affair of its kind ever given
in Lafayette. The money realized
will be used to build an annex to
the public school building and also
to build plank walk to the High
School. These two things, we all
know, are sadly needed and COM
mend themselves to all our people.

to everybody wishing to visit the
fair grounds. In the morning there
will be procession in wagons,
starting from the courthouse. of
the school children of the town and
parish, who will all be admitted free

sion, which will be headed by a
brass band. At the park dinners
and lunches will be served during
the whole day, thereby enabling
families to spend the day on the
grounds. Good music will be on
hand and those fond of dancing will
have ample opportunity to amuse
themselves as the platform will be
given exclusively for the use of the
dancers.

French by Judge F. VOORHEES,, of

strong drinks was locked up in the
calaboose. a few minutes later
screams were heard from the Jail.
a crowd of men were soon on the
grounds to see what was the matter.
From the smoke coming out of win

the building was on fire. No time
was lost and the doors were thrown
open which revealed the cause Of
the screams of distress emanating
from the room occupied by the jag

two or three quilts which he had

RIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

Rev. Dr. HarWood Makes an Ad-
 The fftieth anniversary of the founds- tion of St. Luke's Episcopal church was celebrated with appropriate services last evening. The pretty little church on Park street was prettily decorated with flowers. Rev. Oliver T. Prescott, the rector, presid- ed over the services during the day. Sev- ersl of the city clergy made visits to the church also.
 In the evening Rsv. Dr. Harwood of Trinity church made a short historical ad- dress, in which he alluded to the fact that St. Luks's church, organization was the olest Episcopal church organization in the city of New Haven, with the exception of Trinity. St. Paul's. which was in exist ence at the time QS44), was only chapel of Trinity church.
 It was not established as charch until the next year. He also alluded to the struggle for existence that Episcopalism first had in New Haven, aud the opposition 1t had to battle against. He then spoke of the grand lesson for good that is to be drawn from anniversary occasions like this one. A church that has had con- tinueus existence for fifty years stands as an enduring monument to the cause of goodness and morality and 8 constant pro- test agAinst the power of evil. It is most important that there bs such examples and reminders continually before the con- munity.

THE LAUNCH TO.MORR ROW


 Of the Big Schooner General K. s.
 Greeley at the West Haven Ship
 Yard.
 Tomorrow morning at Il o'clock the fine new schooner General E 8. Greeley will bs launched at the Sutton ship yard, West Haven, and weather permitting, there will no doubt be very large crowd to witness the vessel launched. The en- tire cost of the weasel was $65, ,000. Among the owners are the builder, Henry Sutton, the managing owner, General E s. Gree ley, T. Attwater Barnes. Captain A. H. Vesper, master of the schooner, George M.. ..Grant, L Wheeler Beecher, John H. Nichols, W. w. Ward, H. B. Perry, J. D. Dswell. Lyman W. Law and Israel A. Kelsey. The Greeley will be commanded by Captain W. L Blake of Port Republic, NJ.
 Among the many improvements connect ed with the blocking of the schooner are the throat halliard blocks sloft, which are quadruple. and instead of the old fashion ed loose hook, are fitted with an improved ComuAudtiou eudChlo uooh, Soiy uuiQuo, light and of great strength. It divides the great strain equally on ail parts of the strapping, which is of eight parts in one block. This is decidedly the liRhtest and strongest block yet produced. The blocks for the steering gear are the most important of all. The shells are gal van;zsd iron. with wrought iron straps, fitted with patent eide, or end thrust
 bearings, preventing the sheave from running against the side of the block which has always been 8 source of trouble in steering wheel blocks. The blocks on deck are held securely in 8 neat iron standard which allows them to swing to any positiop. The rope leaders on cross trees are new device. The gsfftop- sail sheet cleats for end of gaff are of e new design, and can be placed on the gsff so as to secure free lead for the rope. The masthead balls are new feature, be- ing of garnet glass aud mounted with composition, nickle plated, and they look like four balls of fire when the sun shines on them.

NEW soHEDULE ADOPTED.

Important Meeting Of the State Baso. ball League Yesterday-Waterbur | Dropped and the Franchise Trans. ferred to New Brltain-The New Playing Notwithstanding of the Teams.
 An important meeting of the Connect- cut State Baseball league was held at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon at which con- siderable business of vital importance to the league was transacted. All the clubs were represented except Waterbury. Man ager Thomas York was present in the interests of Norwich. ". E. Ford repre- sented Willimantic, John Cox looked after New Britain's interests while the local team was represented by Manager J. A. Mckee.
 The affairs of the league were generally discussed and 1t was decided that prompt measures must be adopted to prevent the complete disintegration of the league. It was shown eonolusively that Waterbury was the especially weak city in the circuit and after protracted discussion 1t was de- cided to drop the club representing the ssBrass City" from the league. The team | has played good ball and has an excellent | standing in the race, but in consequence | of poor management no interest has been l taken in the clubs games at home and only @ corporars guard has been present at the games.
 The league at it's meeting yesterday, in ! view of the fact that the Waterbury man. agement did not deem it of sufficient inn portance to be represented, decided to drop the Brass City club from the league and to transfer its standing and its franchise to the New Britain team. This will enable the league to continue on four club cir cult, and as the game has been fairly well patron!zed in those cities the prospects of the league are considerably brighter than they have been recently.
 The local team plays two games at home this week. Wednesday at the Savin Rock grounds with the Willimantic team an d | Saturday with the Norwich team. Both games will be called at 3:45 o'clock.
 At the meeting yesterday 8 new playing schedule was made out for the balance oi season. The schedule is as follows:
