MARKET nIEIANgg.
Prejudice Against Certain Food Products
IL Fast disappearing.

Il Fast disappearing.
In the course OF n chat yesterday
afternoon well known commission
merchant remarked to the intelligence
man that the prejudice of the public
against some new things in food prod
ucts is rapidly disappearing. Formerly
there was almost no market for "oleo"
unless the cute grocer hoodooed his GUS
toner into buying It under the impress
sion that he was getting good old coun--
try butter. Now what q differencel
OF all the butter consumed in Wheeling
II Is estimated that more than one.halt
Is butterlne. And II is bought by the
people with O complete understanding
OF what they are getting. The truth Is,
says the commission man, butterine IL
purer article than half OF the country
butter that reaches the market, and the
public now knows that It Is not inJu-
rious In any way
Speaking of butterlne, the introduce
tion OF that article has worked wonders
In the price of butter. Five or six years
ago II was not unusual for butter 10
sell for sixty TO seventy cents q pound
during the winter months. Now coun-
try butter rarely reaches beyond twenty
cents pound at retail. Were 1t not
for the manufactured article butter
would be selling to-day for forty TO
sixty cents pound.

The Fair Opens To-Day and Promises
to be a Successful One.
The fair of the Winsted Agricultural
corporation at Lakeside park to-day
and Wednesday promises to eclipse
previous Winsted fairs in point of at
tendance and exhibits. Reports re-
ceived from nearby towns indicate
that the farmers are going to turn out
in large numbers and Winsted people,
as usual will not miss the many at
fractions ON the fair grounds.
The cattle exhibit at the fair this
year Is to be noteworthy one. En-
tries have been received from Torring-
ton, Norfolk, East Litchfield, Harwin-
ton and many other towns in this vi
cinity. The exhibition of agricultural
implements will be one of the most at
tractive exhibits on the grounds, and
farmers from far and near will be sure
to find something in this exhibit that
will interest them. Well known horses
have been entered in the races, which
will undoubtedly furnish plenty of ex-
element.

by an act approved June 16, 1892, prior
TO the lease of the Old Colony railroad,
ana Is paid for by the issue of its Sc
eurities under the provisions of the
leases. Its object was primarily to
avoid II public crossings at grade, BY
actual count 1000 teams and $1,000 pc
destrians, as well as $50 trains, We're
subjected to peril at these crossings in
single day, and the change, although
expensive, viii justify the outlay.
Inc use of electricity as @ motive
power has been extended as foreshad
owed in the last statement. On the
south Shore branch of the Old Colony
system, the current has been success
tully and economically conveyed in a
thlrd rail insulated upon wooden blocks
IN the center of each track. The re-
suits have surprised experts and it is
now probable that a third rail will be
laid at various points upon the COM
panyS property during the year to
come. Short branches to the centers
of business and population may then
be constructed from the company's
| lines.
The work Of four tracking the New
York division is now nearly completed,
the only remaining portions being at
Stamford and Bridgeport
AT Stamford it Is hoped that within
a few weeks the trains will be running
up the high level and that by the first
of January the four tracks will be
in service through that city.
The special commission appointed by
the legislature of Connecticut under a
resolution approved June %, 1895, en-
tered into contract with the railroad
company by which the work through
Bridgeport is to be prosecuted accord
| ing to plans which have been approved
| by the railroad commissioners, as pro-
! vided in the act. The general plan is
| that of elevating the railroad above the
| street crossings but provides opportu-
mites both at the east and west end
| of the city for switching connections
with manufacturing plants at grade.
The city is to pay one sixth of the cost
of the work. exclusive of the expendi-
lures for passenger station buildings.
The work, however, has been delayed
by legal objections raised by some of
its citizens by attacking the constitu-
tionality of the act passed by the gen
eral assembly providing for the aboli-
ton of grade crossings. Until these
questions are finally determined it is
manifestly unwise to make a contract
covering the entire work, but some
progress is being made looking to the
completion Of the four tracks without
grade crossings through that city.
Your directors do not anticipate Less
ened net revenues or reduced dividends,
nor do they regret that the property
has at large expense been fitted to
transact its steadily increasing business
with safety and with economy.
| BY order Of the board Of directors,
CHARLES p. CLARK, President.

A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.

u
Morris House, East Haven--An Inter
esting Sketch Concerning ~.
The land on which this ancient house
stands was purchased in 1857 by Amos
Morris, greatgrandfather of Mr.. Julius
Morris of East Haven. This Amos
Morris erected a. house between the
stone chimneys NOV standing, and lived
there holding the title of colonel in the
Colonial service under George III,
king of England, continuing in that
office up to the beginning of the Amer
lean revolution, when he resigned and
entered the militia and subsequently
the Continental army When not on
duty, he resided in the original house
On the invasion Of New Haven July ),
l779, on their advance toward the city
the original structure was burned by
the British troops, and the owner and
his son, also named Amos Morris, We're
captured and carried prisoners to
war ship in the harbor, from which the
son made his escape in an open boat
(probabIy at night, and returned to
his ruined home.
After a short detention the father
was paroled and also returned home,
They 1.-THE father and SOM at once COM
menced to erect a small wooden cabin,
afterwards used as wood shed. l be-
lieve they continued in The Continental
service until the close of the war. Two
years after the close of the war (Which
was october 10, 17S1) the present edifice
was erected (probably in 1888 or ~, all
except the wooden addition, which has
since been built. The son of the orig
inal owner of the land and first house
served in the war of 1872 and bore the
rank of lieutenant in the army and
served with the garrisons at Fort Hale
and Wooster. On the chimney facing
the road the family shield and crest is
painted, consisting of a lion surmount-
| ing the shield standing on its hind feet
| in an attitude of attack. In the upper
left hand corner os another lion in the
same position; other figures are in each
corner.
! The old building stands on slight
| elevation, the front facing Fair Haven
and commands O fine view of the bar
| Dor and city. 1t is in the colonial style
of architecture There are large elm
trees near the house. 1t is quite a
conspicuous object from the electric
cars It's location is little below Nor
ris Cove, which you can see from the
house. The occupants furnish board
and rooms in the summer.
Mr. julius Morris possesses the COM
mission of his great grandfather in the
colonial service, also in the Revolution
airy service, and the accounts of his
grandfather, who after the war kept a
small store and few schooners, which
he sent to the West Indies with which
he had small trade. 1t is the ac-
counts of that business which his
grandson has. The direct descendant,
Julius Morris, was born in the present
house, which is now rented. F. S. A.

Jacob Chapman.
Major Jacob A. Chapman, of Cohan-
zie, has presented to the Odd Fellows
home at Fairview, a banner, collar and
apron such as were in vogue in the time
of his father, the late Nathaniel Chap
man. The banner was probably car ed
on some festal occasion, and the collar
and apron, of the highest degree, were
worn in the lodge.
The banner is oblong, made of white
silk and on the diverse has the follow
ing notices: "Our Cause Is Just"
"Our Union Complete, Our Victory
Sure" On the reverse in gilt letters,
like the rest, is the name, Waterford.
The banner is bound with dark blue
fringe, and white rosettes adorn each
corner. The regalia and banner are

GOOD OLD MIDDLE GEORGIA
Of Ante BelIum Period Is Portrayed in the Sketches of the nimitabIe Humorist,
 Richard Malcolm Johnston.

Richard Malcolm Johnston will appear before a Birmingham audience at Seals hall tomorrow night in the double pro- gramme of a lecture on George Eliots Lovers" and the recting of one of his own humorous sketches descriptive of Georgia rural life before the war, period when tastes were simple, form less ab- solute and the individuality of the meek est citizen of the community fourlshed untrammeled. Those were true-hearted men and gentle, virtuous women, who loved and lived in the circle of husband, home and children. Colonel Johnston was a happy hit by the Birmingham Mu- sic club, who were fortunate enough to secure him for one night on his way from New Orleans to Savannah, Ga.
 Colonel Johnston will be introduced by Rev. pr. O. P. RitZsimons, pastor or the church of St, Mary's an old pupil of the famous writer and one who honors and loves his former teacher for his genial, sunny nature and cultured intellect
 After the lecture MT. and Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, the former of whom is a son of Colonel Johnston, will entertain a few friends among the older people at Mrs J. T. Nixon's complimentary to the eminent writer.

AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER Birmingham'S Splendid System
 Is Now World amouS. SHE HAS EVERY FACILITY She Is the Mecca of the Alabama Student, and Surrounding States Send Their Sons
 to Her Institutions.

The real progress of a community or ply by it's material development or by the condition of it's tax books the intel
 lectual standards and achievements of a people have an important bearing upon all true and permanent progress. Bir
 mingham has been especially fortunate in the fact that it possesses an educa- tional system of superior merit, and one that is acknowledged far and wide as a model for imitation. The teachers of the Birmingham public schools keep abreast of the times, and manifest a degree of enthusiasm and professional spirit rare ly met with. They are in close touch with the leaders of educational work throughout the country, and the stand ing of the schools is due to the untiring efforts, unselfsh devotion and profess slonal zeal of superintendent principals and teachers. Among the means used to advance the welfare of the schools are the City Teachers institute held every two weeks on Saturday morning for the white teachers and Saturday afternoon for the negro teachers; the grade meet rings once month, the principals' meet ings and the teachers lyceum circles held in each school on Friday afternoons. The work done by each of these institu- tonS is special and contributes to the up- building Of the schools and the welfare of the children. In addition to these will be found the Herbart club. which meets twice month on Tuesday nights
 the work of this club is strictly philo- eophical in its nature, and the member ship is not restricted to teachers. The success and wonderful efficiency of the schools is largely due to these literary
Birmingham state herald., 1896-03-01

and professional agencies, which indicate the activity of the teachers in the va rious lines of educational and profession al effort.
 Course of Study.
 The course of instruction covers pe- riod of eleven years, seven in the elemen- tary schools and four in the high school The work in the serveral schools is re- markahly thorough, and diploma or the high school insures it's possessor en- trance into any college in the land in any of the courses it profeSSeS to represent
 Teachers and Pupils
 The total number of pupils enrolled in the schools during the year is about 4OOO Of this number about 1900 are enrolled in the negro schools. Of the white pu- pills 260 are enrolled in the high school, ot which Prof. A. C. Moore Is principal The Powell school is under the principal- ship of Miss Mary A. Cahalan. who has for many years demonstrated the fact that a woman may succeed as well as man as principal of large school. The Henley and Paul Hayne schools respec- lively are presided over by Prof F. M. Roof and Prof. J. B. Cunningham, both of them young men of unquestioned ability and professional skill.
 The negro schools are also under the same supervision and are doing admira- hle work for that class in the city: The Slater school is under the direction of Principal c. V. Auguste, the Lane school under that of Principal G. s. Lewis and the Cameron school under that of Princi- pa, A. H. Parker. Much progress has been made by the negro schools during the past year.
 The offices of the superintendent of schools and chairman of the board of education are located in the High school building on Twenty-first street, where may also be found the public library, on whose shelves are over 5000 well Se-
 
 librarian, Miss Sophie Ungerman, is all ways glad to welcome all visitors and to offer information about the contents of the library shelves and the extensive list

Pollock-stephens Institute.

This is one of our leading educational factors, and is under the direction of Miss O. w. Summers as principal The school has grown in importance from year to year since it's esta blishment, and under it's late management the attend ance has largely increased numbering now 135 pupils. The standard of schol- arship has been raised in all the depart ments, and in the near future a univer- sity course will be added which will make this the peer of any school in the land. The mathematics and Latin de- partment is in charge of Miss Orr; pri- mary department Misses Jennie Sum- mers and Alice Holmes; literary depart ment and senior classes, Miss o. w. Summers; elocution and physical culture department is under the direction of specialist from Emerson School of Ora tory of Boston; music, Prof. J. Morton Boyee and his able assistants, Madem- oiselle Navarro and Herr Bruno Oetter- king of the College of Music; modern languages, Mademoiselle Gerichten, whose success is we'll known in Brming- ham. This faculty, composed as it is, of exceptional talent, offers strong induce ment to the patrons of this entire section The character of the school for thorough training and excellent departments is fast becoming established throughout this and surrounding states, and Bir- mingham cannot point with more just pride to one of her educational institu- tionS.
