 Doctor Gaff and wife did not get away for Oregon as soon as expected, and their departure was delayed until Wednesday of last week.
 MT. Sam Friedman, the popular landlord of the Grand Central hotel, and Miss Lynne Barnett are to be married Saturday, January 18th.
 Last Friday there occurred a col lision in the Benson yard, one freight running into the rear end of another, wrecking caboose and several cars.
 Letters from Mrs. Major MOntan- don, now at Tacoma Washington, to friends at Benson, say we need not be surprised to see her here again shortly for a visit during the rainy season up there.
 Wednesday of last week MT. Duncan came from Yuma and took home his daughter Agnes, where it is hoped she may soon recover completely from her recent illness. Mrs. A. Y. Smith is filling her place as teacher in the pri- mary department of the Benson public school.
 MT. Starkweather, formerly road master for the Southern Pacific with headquarters at Benson, but located at Deming the past two years, was at Benson last week en route to Fresno, California, where he went to take charge of track division. Mrs. Stark weather and her little ones, remained here a week visiting Mrs. Trask and Mrs. Webster.
 Last week Mrs. F. s. Webster and Master Roger returned from Tempe, where they had been to attend the wedding of young cousin of Mrs. Webster, Miss Maude Miller, who welded a Mir. Carr. Mrs. w. describes a portion of the ceremony as novel and unique. The bride has four brothers, one married and three single, and they all took conspicuous parts in the ceremony. The parents first en- tered the room and were seated in appropriate positions. One brother entered In advance of the bride and groom. and the bridal couple followed a short distance behind with one brother on the left of the bridesmaid, the third on the right of the groom, while the fourth stood at an equal distance in the rear, forming a double triangle with the bride sister in the middle.

 fore we bid you too much welcome we would like to see the size of your sack or the top of your head, whether it is bald or not.
 "The object for which we have gath | cred is a benevolent one. The invita- tion which was extended to all is for you to bring a, many pennies as you are years old or as you have had birth | days and these pennies will be donated | to the protestant church at this place for its improvement. Gathered for such noble purpose isn't it a pity | that we are not all as old as Methu- selah, or that Methuselah is not re- sident of Benson and one of the honored guests of this occasion?
 '"This party has been planned and | it's details carried out by the true and | noble ladies of Benson-God bless them! But they made one great mis- take in requesting your humble serv- ant to give you the welcome address. This being leap year and new woman era l was surprised to receive such request
 Leap year and this birthday party | brings to mind the story of the Irish man who was born on the 20th of Feb ruary and when brought to know ledge of the fact that he was born on the last day of the month and that day only came once in four years he exclaimed "Bedad eff it had bin one day later oi wouldent had any birth day at all"
 II would like to ask from the com mittee on credentials here tonight if the average receipts from the ladies have not been just about sweet six teen?-and the gentlemen-well not many bald heads here but for the sake of the object for which we have come together, 1 wish that they were all Il baldheaded, for this is party where age and time tells. Old maids or bald headed bachelors would be just the people for this kind of a party.
 "In 1858 had birthday party, its been so long since then have forgot ten all about it.
 Gentlemen l appeal to you to drop your pennies in the sack and you will see the smiles on the ladies faces grow into broad laugh. Do not let your age deceive you, or try to cover up the wrinkles round your ears, or fill your mouths with false teeth. No whisker dye or false hair will go here. The ladies have a double defecting back action forty-fve seventy age detector here, and if your sack don't hold out you will be called Moses and will be dishonorably discharged from the ser vice for non attention to duty or given forty days to lay off.

If the frosts of many winters and the heat of many summers have fur rowed your cheek and wrinkled your brow, and made you deaf, dumb and blind, and you have been turned out to grass, you are welcome here, pro- [ vided you have the skads and whack up accordingly. Age is no barrier, for this is one gathering where the older a man is the better he will be received.

Viewed the Great Spectacular Exhibition
 at savin Rock Last Rvening.
 "The Destruction of Herculaneum," which opened in the baseball grounds at Savin Rock last night before an au- dience of fully 5000 people. was a great success. The spectacle was very real istic. A stage covering large space is laid before the buildings represented Here the grand fete is presented. Nicolari's band furnished concert music, after which it played for the en- trance of the citizens of Herculaneum to the fete, and also for all the spec tacular features.
 The action deals mainly with the marriage of Reetina, who is escorted by her maids and guards to the temple where the high priest blesses her. This is followed by an excellent variety of sports and pastimes. Judge and Will | Hams as clown acrobats Were excellent in their line. Alfreno, the slack wire performer, did a remarkable act. His feat of disrobing while balancing on one foot was a striking feature. | Major Mcclure, with his fiery steed, performed the stake pulling act, which | was loudly applauded. He starts his horse at full pace and spears a stake, which has been driven in the ground by an attendant. He seldom misses. Michaels, the man with the iron jaws, created a good deal of applause. His lifting a heavy iron weight with his teeth and also of four men astride a long barrel was received with prolong- ed applause. The Nautch and serpen- tine dances were very pretty features The costumes were very neat. The three Morrellos, acrobats, were fine their feats being truly wonderful
 The high wire act of Alfredo was indeed a daring one. The Mendoza sis ters in their trapeze performance were the hit of the evening. Most of their feats were performed with one hold ing the other in her teeth.
 Arnold Kiralfy, the well known gro tesque dancer, executed a clever dance and was warmly applauded.
 The ballet of twenty-four trained coryphees from the Metropolitan opera house with Mile Bassignano, premier dansuese, was an excellent feature Their dancing was very artistic.
 After the specialties the lofty cone ot Vesuvius overshadowing the doomed city gave signs of activity by emitting dense volumes of smoke, followed by sparks and flame. Explosions succeed. l ed, and down toppled one by one the many buildings represented A gor. geous pyrotechnic display flttingly ends the performance. The set pieces were especially noticeable.
 The genial business manager, David Traitel, was as usual exceedingly pop ular. Signor Augsto Franciola, tho great Italian ballet master, was pres ent at last nights performance.

To the Editor of the JouRNALDAND COURIER:
 The trolley, the bicyelesand attract i've excursions have so encroached upon the customs of vacation time in the past, that many summer resorts are feeling the effect of these new avenues of recreation There is large class of patrons who need something more than day trips whose minds and bodies call for rest and quiet which must lap over from one day to another, until week or two weeks of rural air and sur roundings restores the overtaxed nerves and gives new courage to head and hand The woman whose brain and fingers must keep up rapid pace at the typewriting machine, the girl at a cashiers desk, or at the counter, all the great army of workers, which these new times has developed, feel the ne- cessity of relaxation and legitimate ease taking. To these the Housatonic Summer Home offers the opportunity for comfort and pleasure {; renewed health to more than one boarder last season was most gratefully aclknowl- edged, and the record of its help-giving for this season is gratifying to the board of managers. Hartford, New York and New Britain have been repre- scented, as well as New Haven, and it is hoped that no room will be vacant next month there will be opportunity also this month for a few more guests than the present number For the ben- eft of those who may not have seen the circulars, this much is added. The price of board is three and one-half 1 dollars per week, to which must be added the railroad fare to Shelton, Conn, and all applications for board | must be made to Mrs. W. H. Thomson, president of the board of managers, | No. 121 Grand avenue, New Haven, I Conn.,, each application to be accom- panied by reference this one and only rule is made for the protection of the guests of the Home.
