singing, The Brownies came upon the
scene in a most marvellous fashion,
springing most Unexpectedly out of
seven barrels which were lying unsus-
piciousIy upon the platform At the
back of the stage was large Dutch
wind mill. It was started by the unit
ed Glowing of the Brownies and San

presents it turned out, and of what a
variety they were!
Some very appropriate remarks We're
made by the rector, Rev. Mr.. Lines,
and the Brownies song was capital.
The exercises closed with the distribu~
ton of boxes of candy and oranges.

THE CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED

Against Keeper Whitmore and Matron
Whitmore of the States Prison-Se-
cret Hearing Held by States Prison
Directors.
Hartford, Dec. 20--The directors Of
the state prison, as the result OF the
secret hearing yesterday, have Vindt-
Gated Matron Whitmore and her nus
band, Keeper Whitmore, Of the charge
of characterization, upon which they
were removed by Warden Woodbridge.
They will receive pay until January !,
having declined to return to the instf-
tution. The directors consider that
Mrs. Woodbridge, in the absence Of her
husband, had no right to demand the
KEYS of the matron. The refusal to
comply with this demand formed the
basis of the charge of INSTRUMENTATION.
The directors have decided that here
after no wife of any officer of the
prison shall have any control in its
management This, it is considered,
removes the possibility of trouble from
this source in the future.
The directors also, at the meeting
Yesterday, decided that hereafter no
convict shall be employed in the prison
office To-day Jimmie" Taylor, New
Haven life prisoner, and Convict Lap
ham, both of whom have been employ
ed on the books of the institution, were
sent back to their cells to work in the
shops. The warden was directed to
employ a bookkeeper.

nolds. Osborn and Frisbie will expire
January 6. they having been appointed
to fill vacancies occasiOned by death or
resignation. The governor can only
appoint two members during the ses-
sion of the general assembly.

Ansonia, Dec. 29.-The funeral of Mrs.
Sarah Riggs, which took place from
the First Congregational church yester-
day afternoon, was one of more than
usual solemnity and impressiveness
The deceased died in New Haven, but
her remains We're brought to the local

years ago, to have the funeral rites per-
formed. Last summer she visited Der
by and was made the guest of Sarah
Riggs Humphreys chapter, d. A. r.
She was then in excellent health for
one of her age. She was taken to the
Colonial cemetery, where she buried
her husband thirty-six years ago. She
then sought out the pastor of the
church in which she had so often wor-
shipped. and it was her request that he
should officiate at her funeral.
Although the friends of her early life
have nearly all passed away, there was
a large attendance, many knowing the
estimable qualities of the lady. A num-
Der of Sunday school children We're
present, and in opening the service they
sang with much feeling Gathered
Home, One by One"
Rev. S. S. Martyr spoke very pathet-
