Festival of Music for the Aid of the Blind | to be Continued,
 The festival of music for the aid of l the Connecticut Industrial School for 1 the Blind has proved such a success these last two days that the managers have decided to continue it this after noon and evening, although it was originally intended to close the affair Saturday night. The bad weather af- fected the attendance considerably the first two nights and besides this the people of New Haven did not seem to realize the excellence of the enter tainment offered and the scope of the work for the benefit of which these concerts have been given.
 On Friday night, however, the at tendance was very large and Satur-a day night it was equally as great, so that the managers are now quite encouraged and anticipate that good- ly sum will be realized for the Home. Among the features at Saturday even ing's entertainment was the exhibition given by eight little blind children who are pupils in the kindergarten of the Home. Ten members of the Yale Bano club rendered several selections and the Italian band also played. Miss A. J, Chapin, the we'll known blind teacher of elocution and music in this city, sang a duet with Miss Wight man, which was much enjoyed The Swedish Orpheus club also rendered several selections.
 This being the last afternoon and eve- \ ming of the music festival in the Second X regiment armory, there will be special preliminary hour with the symphony I from until and from until s o'clock, 4 and all lovers of music, especially those who have not heard this wonderful in- strument, wiIl feel amply repaid by this part of the entertainment alone, to say nothing of the other attractions for this afternoon and evening.

Several Queries.

Iphigenia asks: 81. Is it proper for
a party of eight or ten young ladies to
camp out without chaperon? g..
Would it be proper for young lady
who is fond of society to sit quietly by
and look on instead of participating
in the games, etc? 3. Would it be
wrong for a young woman to propose
to gentleman in leap year?" Answer:
/. Under no circumstances should
young ladies go out camping without
adults to look after them. A chaperon
would not be sufficient; some married
couple should be of the party, or the
brothers of the young ladies and
chaperon also. To go out unprotected
might subject them to experiences
that would have extremely unpleasant
consequences. g. There would be
nothing out Of the way for young
lady to sit by and look on at an enter
tainment. If she did not wish to par
ticipate in the amusements she need
not do SO. 8. The conventionalities OF
society do not permit young women
to propose It would be extremely
bad form, besides being a very unwise
course to take.

SOCIETY TO BLAME.

The country has been shocked by
tragedies in various parts of the United
States San Francisco, Detroit, Ken
lucky and Louisiana. Breckenridge,
opened the decalogue of crime. All of
the participants are said to be of good
family, members of church, Sunday
school superintendents, leaders in
society. But one thing can be stated
definitely, they were all hypocrites.
The two cases in the south resulted in
the death of two men and one woman
for undue intimacy. Husbands found
paramours and death ended their
career The homes are robbed to
satisfy lust, and society is shocked to
think of what it is composed At De-
troit, a young woman died who was
sent there from England in order to
cover up the doings of prominent
divine, one inspired by satan. Streaks
of immortality are sometimes just
slightly visible along the horizon OF
society and if it We're attacked at that
time these shocking disclosures would
be avoided 1t is very evident that
there must be something done to raise
the moral standard of men and women.
1t does not matter what ones profession
may be; it should not be weighed.
More care should be given to this sub
ject and more required of those who
attempt to lead others into more light.
An immoral leper will, if permitted, go
into the best society with all brazen ef-
frontery Imaginable.

Few Formalities at q Wedding in
Chicago Police Court.
Quite an amusing episode occurred
in Justice Lyons court in Chicago a
short time ago in the midst of a trial
for assault and battery, when young
couple rushed breathlessly into the
room and informed his honor that
they wanted to be joined In the holy
bonds of wedlock as quickly as pos
sible
In one hand the prospective groom
carried marriage license, which con-
tanned the names of August Rohner
and Maria Soss. The assault and bat
terry case came to halt, and Justice
Lyons glanced over the certificate by
which two beings were permitted to call
themselves one.
Hurry oop, chudge," said the about
to-be bride, as she shifted from
one foot to the other in nervous man
ner, and glanced apprehensively at the
door,
asked Justice Davy.
1t must be now or never, answered.
the bride, "and we want now"
"All right" said the court, II guess
can accommodate you," and he re-
paired TO s. mirror in the rear Of the
courtroom, carefully arranged his SIS
tie, parted his hair in the middle, took
an extra reef in his immaculate Prince
Albert, and called the couple to the
front.
If there Is one thing Justice Lyons is
perfect in it is in the art of tying nup-
tial knots, and he was at his best.
Have you a ring?" he asked.
"Nein," answered the lesser half.
"One will do said the court.
"Nein, nein, or none" broke in the
bride.
ooh, all right" answered the court,
as his face took on a deep scarlet hue
and he proceeded with the ceremony.
The couple alternately looked at him
and at the door, and after it was all
over and they stood with their arms
twisted together, fearful racket
sounded on the stairs, and little old
man with glare in his eye burst
breathlessly into the room. The new
Mr.. and Mrs. laughed at him, and the
little old man, swearing yCfubly in
German, gave the door cruel KICK
passed out again and the bridal couple
following Justice Davy poked a beau
tiful bill in his purse, and the interrupt
ed case went on.
