TOO MUoH JAG FOR THE BIKE.
Sarah DOrSey's Antics Secured n
Ride in Red Marin

A%AuS III AAtu MAEAN.
Sarah Dorsey, with the complexion of q
ripe raspberry, created considerable d.
version for the crowd on Bun street with
the aid of jag and a bicycle about $3.50
o'clock last night Either Sarah is not an
expert bicyclist or the jag was too heavy
and the gyrations she described on the
sidewalk attracted much attention from
the crowd, especially the small bows
whose remarks were more pointed than
polite
The scene of Sarah's performance was
between Breughton and State streets. and
the result was that she distracted the at
tention of the crowd from Barney
BaldWin's free open air lecture on how
TO live and grow fat with a broken neck
Mr.. Baldwin had not billed anything like
this on his programme, and the side show
threatened 10 break up the main perform
ance. He was not willing to allow this
and so sent for a policeman.
When Sarah heard of this intention she
ceased the Virtupcrative flow of elo-
quence with which she was replying To
the remarks of the small boys. and calling
hack, bundled herself and her bicvcie
into II. She could not remain away from
the scene Of her triumphs, however. ana
shortly returned, when she fell into the
hands of Policeman Atkinson, who escort
ed her to the box at Bun and York streets
followed by the crowd.
While waiting for the wagon Sarah adj
dressed series Of remarks to the officer
full of gentle sarcasm and hidden mean
ing, which were greatly enjoyed by the
crowd. Atkinson was relieved of his nm
comfortable position by the arrival of me
Junction 70 the policeman to take care Of
her bicycle.

MAY BE THE LAURADA.
a Strange Vessel Sighted south of
Warsaw Island.

warsaw AAkunO.
The report from Jacksonville. published
in the Morning News yesterday, that
the steamer Laurada was ensconsed in
shore somewhere in the vicinity of sa-
vannah with a cargo of men and NUM-
tons of war, created no little excitement
yesterday AS nothing had previously
been heard Of the Laurada's whereabouts.
all sorts of calculations were made as to
the place she could be.
Men on board of two small schooners.
just arrived by the inland route from the
vicinity of Sapelo, stated that they saw
strange craft anchored Just inside of
one OF the numerous inlets along the
coast. They could not state which inlet
1t was, as they paid very little attention
TO the matter; besides. there are always
pleasure yachts in that vicinity during
the summer.
The crew of the steamer Alpha. who
go to Warsaw Island every day, had not
thought of the hlbusterer until they
heard of her presence in Georgia waters
Then several of the negro deck hands
who were reminded that the Laurada was
the steamer that took the last crowd of
emigrants from Savannah to Liberia
were certain that they had seen a smoke
stack at the south end Of Warsaw Island
only the day before.
Even the officers of the Alpha concluded
that they had caught sight of a strange
boat some distance to the south and sug-
gested the idea of getting up an eX-
cursion and paying the dlibusterer a visit
Several naphtha launchmen, who had con-
templated a cruise this week, were think
ing seriously yesterday of mapping out
their course along the inside route toward
Brunswick.
With all the rumors ahoat about the
Laurada being hid away from the Spanish
warships in the vicinity of Savannah,
there is no positive evidence that such is
a fact, and it would not be surprising to
learn, i'm a few days. that she had landed
her men and ammunition safely on the
shores of Cuba.

THE SHELDON CENTENNIAL.

Last Saturday, August 10, was gala
day at the museum. The object was to
commemorate the One-hundrelh year
since the first of the Sheldon family
came to Middlebury to reside. 1t was
also the seventy-tifth birthday of Henry
L. sheldon. The forenoon was devoted
to riding in the old President MunrOe
coachee, made before 1873, in which
those persons who were so fortunate as
to claim the 10Th for their birthday were
invited to participate-Mrs. VIM. Jack
son and Mr.. B. f. Wales, with their
families, and others of the Sheldon
family were of the number. In 1896
Esther Sheldon, sister of the late
Samuel Sheldon, came from Salisbury.
Conn, to live with her uncle, Gamaliel
Painter, and In 1900 married Loyal Case,
an attorney. This event was the occa-
sion of meeting of the Sheldons at the
museum in the afternoon, when me-
mortal loving cup, made of oak from the
Alden house built in Boston about 1860,
was christened with the contents of a
bottle of wine sealed up by Mr.. Sheldon
In 1850. Family relics in great variety
were shown from the abundant resources
of the museum-chairs all the way from
Connecticut to the Mayflower, bedding,
knitting and needlewOrk of the mothers
and Notwithstanding their indus
try when there was little labor-saving
machinery in use. The books and
papers of each branch of the family,
with which large bureau is crowded
full, date back to l743. A card party in
the evening closed the entertainment.
