A PETITION FOR JUDGE SHERMAN's PIG
 TURF.
 \ petition has been circulated and ex- tensively signed in Fairfield, asking that the old painting of Judge Roger Minot Sherman be brought back from it's pres ent place in the Fairfield county court house to it's accustomed place in the Sher- man parsonage. The painting was left, with the house, to the Congregational society by the will of Judge Sherman and always hung there until committee from the Fairfield county bar asked that it be loaned to them until copy could be talk en and hung in the court house. This re- quest was granted nearly year ago, ,and arrangements were made for the paint ing of the copy, when the artist selected, Calvin Curtis of Stratford died. This necessitated a change of place, and since that nothing has been done. One of the gentlemen interested said there was no intention to demand the painting forth with, if the committee in charge were prepared to have the copy made, yet in- asmGch as the picture was the property of the parsonage, it was felt as if that was the rightful place, And yet think, '' continued he, ''that if Judge Sherman could now have knowledge of the fact. he would say that it should remain in the court house. Surely it is greater hon. or to a man to hang his portrait in pub lie building like that than in a private dwelling" The e,portrait is an admirable one. The artist was a resident of Fair field.

THE CHORAL WORK.

The work of the choral union is very different this year from that of last sea- son. Instead of an Oratorio the program consists of various short selections, which will perhaps be more generally pleasing to the public than any one long work. Last season we were highly favored with most excellent talent from New Haven. This time we have only local talent. The concert will be practi- cally home made. The object is not to try to show off in any sense, but to try to bring out the talent. ability in town. and develop both interest in music, and the desire for musical expression. The land of song, is to many people, as an un- explored country. Most people have capacity to enjoy, if not to make music, and to enjoy music one must hear it and cultivate taste for it, and an under standing for it.
 Many of the members of the chorus are only beginners in the art of musical expression, and will deserve only the kindest criticism. Fortunately, New town people have generous apprecia- tion of home entertainments.-FO o. O. Wright

BOWLING MATTERS.
MEETING OF THE WHEELING BOWLING As
ISOLATION LAST MIGHT.
The Alleys TO be Put Down in the husse Theatre
Game a, Ssibsrt's Last Night
Other Notes

The Wheeling Bowling Association
which was recently Incorporated, Sc
cured its chartar frsm the Secretary Of
State q few days ago. Last night a
meeting of the stockholders was held at
the store OF House & Hermann. A
temporary organization was effected by
choosing B. L. Caldwell as temporary
president and E. NJ. Holiday temporary
secretary.
The Association had previously de-
cided to receive bids for the construc-
tion of three alleys in the Musee thea
ire, and a number Of responses were re-
ceived. The bids ranged within $3.50
OF the highest bid, $3.50. No action
was taken with reference to the bids,
but the general opinion Of the stock
holders favOrs the regulation alleys,
which are twelve inches wider than the
alleys now In use. With the new al
leys, 200 will be considered a remarka-
BILE score, and 300 almost an impOssi-
bility. 1t is said that a curved ball is
required to do execution, so that the
introduction OF regulation alleys will
make big changes.
The stockholders instructed the bnsi-
ness COMMITTEES, consisting OF f. M.
Holiday and George Chrstiieb, TO con-
tinue to work, until all plans are per-
fected, and all bids received for the
alleys George Loos was appoi nted So
licitor, and he will endeayor TO increase
the stock subscriptions. OF the stock
represented at last nights meeting, %
per cent. was paid ia, and the balance
will be called in within 30 days. Stock
is sold at $40 share.
There is a difference of opinion
among the stockholders regarding the
practicability of making the three new
alleys exclusively for the use Of those
holding shares. 1t is argued by those
who are opposed TO this plan, that the
investment will not prove profitable un-
less the alleys are made public. At any
rate, IL is now almost certain that three
new alleys will be placed in the old
Musee.

To-Day WIN Probably See the Streets in
Nasty Condition.
Yesterday evening shortly after dark
the snow storm, predicted in the
weather report yesterday morning, and
which has been travelling along through
the West 10 the wake of the storm Of
last Monday, struck this section Of
country, and the snow continued fall
ing without intermiSsion all during
the night, although the fall at no
time was very heavy. The weather
was quite mild, the mercury standing
at about SO degrees during most Of the
night, and the snow came down lazily
but steadily. AT one o'clock this morn
ing the around was covered 10 the
depth Of about two and One-half inches,
and this may be increased to about four
inches by daylight.
The storm will probably extend over
a portion OF to-day, with colder weather
by this evening. The snow is general,
and coming as it does, on top Of five or
six inches deposited In Western Penn

day, makes the conditions again good
