Annual Concert and Reception OF Ojeda
Council, *. of q.
NAUGATUcK, Jan. 24.-The sixth annual
concert and promenade of Ojeda council,
K. of c., WAS big success. The house
was beautifully decorated, the ceiling, side
walls and stage being entirely covered with
white and green. At the rear of the stage
was large painting of Columbus, while
IN front of the platform were the words:
"Welcome to our eighth reception" The
floor was crashed and the s.airs carpeted,
while an awning extended to the curb to
protect those who came in carriages. The
concert music, rendered by seventeen
pieces from Gilmore's band, was very fine,
but was lost somewhat to the audience by
cold draft of air through the house from
the open door. About $50 Prompter Bax-
ter called for the grand march, which was
led by Mr. and Mrs James L. Murphy and
DR. Delaney and sister. Seventy-four
couples took part, about every
lady being in full ball costume.
many of the dresses We're elegant, while
the display or opera cloaks exceeded any
we have ever seen in the house. There
were eighteen numbers on the programme,
which was finished about $50 o'clock.
The outside attendance was very large,
many being present from surrounding
towns.
The funeral of Mrs Anne Toole, aged
sixty-two, who died of heart disease on
Monday, took place this morning.
When our citizens want to see solid fun
at masquerade ball they generally wait
for the annual of Court Unity A. o. T. of
A. This year they have selected Friday,
February 2, as the date for their seventh
annual concert and masquerade. The
music will be furnished by Landrigan of
New Haven. Professor Baxter will be
prompter. The tickets are fifty cents each
and will admit to any part of the house.

Fifty Desperate Men Escape From the

Coal CREEK, Tenn, Jan 24.-Fifty con-
victs confined at the branch state prison
escaped last night through the water gates
leading into the stockade. Soon after the
men escaped several citizens were held up
and robbed probably by the convicts who
wanted clothing and money. The guards
discovered the esape soon after and
started in pursuit. They kept mp a con-

however, escaped and are now thought to
be hiding in the mountains near Coal

Georgia Troops Ordered Out Too.


WAY Cross, Ga, Jan. Ex-Governor
Northen is expected here soon. He will
make his headquarters i'll Way Cross until
the fight is over. Governor Northen has
given private instructions to the border
county sheriffs and has ordered a sufficient
number of Georgia militiamen to report
here for duty today. He will also have a
large number of troops on the border line
on Jan. "a and IS for the purpose of pre-
venting the Corbett- Mitchell fight taking
place in Georgia.
Corbett is not at Mayport. He left yes
terday and did not return. He was accom-
panied by McVey, Creedon and Porter
Ashe. Of course the only conclusion to be
drawn is that Corbett has been spirited
away in order to avoid arrest and also in
order to repair to the rendezvous prepared
by the club to be ready in the event that
the battle is to come off in the woods. 1t is
thought that Corbett is in Georgia, and he
may tumble into the arms of Georgia's
governor.

The managers of the relay bicycle race
from this city to Denver have an impress
sion that President Cleveland will decline to
send any message to Governor Waite. 1t Is
hoped that the impression is unfounded.
Everybody who knows anything is probably
aware of the fact that Grover Cleveland
AL Davis H. Waite are not In accord on
any of the great public questions, but few
differences of opinion should not prevent
President Cleveland from taking advantage
Of an opportunity to ask Gov. Waite a
pertinent question. The communication need
not be lengthy, nor need the President sac
rfice any of the presidential dignity in
holding converse with Colorado's crank ex-

Hunton's plea TO: the erection of n suita-

port than was given II. Congress. by its
location of the city post Office building,

favor-the devotion of the south side Of

Capitol to the Treasury Department to
public purposes. 1t is an affair of COM
paratively little consequence to the gen.

With the death of Joseph Holt there

No British Bullying of Japan.
From the New York Sun.

We do not believe that the mikado's min
listers will give England, what both Chinese
and Englishmen desire, pretcxt for en-
ploying the British navy against Japan. If
III the sinking of the transport kow Shing
international law was violated, proper rep
aration will no doubt be made. But if the
affair is made the basis for intolerabe eX-
actions, Japan will be justified in appeal
ing to arbitration, for the public opinion
of the world will not in this instance suffer
England to play her favorite game OF bully
ing states weaker than herself. Japan has
friends; neither Russia nor France will al
low her to be made the victim of an Anglo
Chinese combination, not even though this
should be backed by the relatively unim-
portant naval resources of the Triple AL
lance AS to what would be the feelings
Of Americans, should England try to brow
beat Japan, there cannot be an atom of
doubt. They would be vigorously expressed
in favor of the one progressive Asiatic peo-
pie to which the American republic has
opened the path of western civilization.

deep and personal. and perhaps financial, in
terest. then they are to be pitied; they have
had their journey with all its attendant
outlay for their pains. The American peo-
pie are careless as to the methods which
brought about the downfall of monarchy in
Hawaii-their ancestors were equally care
less In this land little more than a hun
dred years ago-but they know that in the
place of defiled and defiling form of gov
eminent there has been established a re-
public. and they will never permit any of
their elected or hired servants to place the
slightest obstacle in the pathway Of those
who have lifted Hawaiian feet out of 1.-The

While the naval conflicts which within
the past few days have attracted SO much
attention give us a very fair idea Of the
relative maritime fighting excellence Of
Japan and China, it cannot be said that
the results are of any real value in deter
mining the superiority of either battle
ships or cruisers. Testimony worth having
as to the comparative merits Of the two
classes will not be had until there has been
&C mbat between two nations that are more
conspicuous naval forces than are the
two countries now pitted against each
other. In the meantime 1t Is enough, for
present purposes. to know that Japan is
vastly more effective at sea than its ad-
versary Is likely to be for many years to
come, and its navy Is probably a match for
any navy Of equal strength now in ex-
istence. There have been but two engage
ments so far, but in each of them the
Chinese were SO extremely incapable as to
leave no room for doubt that China must
defeat Japan on land II 1t achieves victory
anywhere. The roar of battle will, as 1t
always does. attract large numbers Of the
soldiers and sailors ''of fortune" and to
some of these. educated to serve other
countries. important military and naval
commands will doubtless be given. but that
even imported genius will be able to rescue
the Chinese navy from ruin-if 1t remains
afoat-is an improbability very remote;
the heavy blows have been struck and re-
covery must be slow. for ships Of war that
can cope with the japanese fleet are not
procurable In a hurry. In the matter OF
crew-material, China Is poverty stricken.
With hundreds of millions Of men to draw
upon for the general purposes Of war only
a small percentage are seamen, and of this
fraction but an inf1nitesirnal number pos
sess the qualifications necessary to be sue
eessful men-o-warsmen. The fighting ship
Of today Is the most complicated piece Of
machinery known to the human race, and
1t is evident that China, with its thousands
OF years of so-called civilization, is unequal
to the task Of using the newly-applied
forces with success.

The trout is waiting to be caught.

Must trudge the torrid asphalt pave.
