1T BEAT THE vERIsCoPE.

Of vitascopes. veriscopes, kintoscopes and
various other ingenious variations the public
is fully informed. To the carnival managers
remained the glory of a brand new one, VIZ:
The Human. scope which was exposed to
the public gaze on Washington street
simple affair, yet less wonderful because
of it's simplicity huge canvas was
stretched in front of a platform or stage, the
rear was left open and the remaining three
sides of the huge box being covered vita
black cloth. Between calcium light in the
rear and the canvas in front moving figures
in various burlesque acts cast growing or
dwindling shadows, according as the actors
advanced or retreated. All the fun, how
ever, was in front where the small boys and
the old boys and other citizens watched with
interest a shadow boxing match between
darby midget and a full grown colored per
son. What screams of delight when the big
un became groggy and when the referee got
in the mix-up. and the three, looking very
corners. A little really and truly tumblng
burlesque juggling, tumbling and trapeze
work held the attention of the audience until
a late hour. Those who missed it, missed it,
and those who saw it unhesitatingly pro-
nounced the ''humaniscope" huge success.
The chief attraction at Rice Park was with
out question Danz's Military band When the
weary jewellers had toiled up Sixth street
through the surging thousands that focked
about the various booths, the cool turf, the
flower beds, the fountain playing in the moon
light, the sweet strains of some familiar
waltz were welcome as a letter from
home. Enough of Sousa's stirring marches to
keep ones mind in the carnival spirit, now
and then some more classical work for those
of cultivated musical taste, and modlcum
of popular operate selections kept the crowd
enamored of the spot, and many spent al
most the entire evening on the benches.
The Mardi Gras jewellers invaded the sacred
precincts and as the band ceased its fourth
number a grotesque masque with horn some
seven feet long gave forth the stirring meas
ures of "There'n Be Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight
Among the attractions at Smith Park was
lengthy series of stereopticon views of
throughout the United States and Asia. Many
of the views were of beautiful scenery, and
were greatly enjoyed by the spectators.

FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

The "Marseillaise" played in St. Pet ersburg-by the band of the imperial guard-at the Czar's own order and in the Czar's own presence and hearing! Well, We'll! The end of the century is bringing some very queer incidents with it. If there is any music that has unpleasant associations for crowned heads, that grates menacingly and on- inously on their ears, it is the music of the 'Marseillaise." Suppose 2 party of St. Petersburg university students a month ago had bired band and start out on 8 march through the the streets to the strains of that old battle-hymn of the Revolution. How would they have fared at the hands of the police of his imperial majesty Nicholas II.?-Hart- ford Courant.
 It is pleasing to know that the Indian famine is abating, that recent rains have improved the crops and that the people are slowly recovering from their former terrible condition. 1t is estima- ted that there have been more than a million victims of want and starvation during the famine season, but in the immense and crowded population of India the loss is scarcely noticeable. It is also pleasing to hear that the gifts of money and corn from America have been the means of saving many thous- ands from death by starvation. Bridge port Standard.

 It is astonishing that men live when we read the history of their disorders. It is more astonishing that they die when we read of ''curealls.'' Yet death neither spares Napoleon who supplied subjects by the wholesale; nor physi- cians who helped the work along by re- tail; not even the grave digger who has spent life time in covering up the good as we'll as the bad deeds of his neighbors He at last is consigned to his bed of clay and is covered by his own shovel to be succeed by younger member who awaits the same doom As our representative interviewed MT A. P. Corning. or 76 Lafayette St Nor. wich, Conn the keeper of the Yantic cemetery, the above thoughts suggested the nt elves from the opening sentences of that interview.

We recently stated that an attempt would be made to change Memorial day SO that it would always come on Sun- day, but that the movement would meet with some opposition even from the c. A. R. itself.

Song Recital.

A rare musical feast was provided for their invited guests by MT and Mrs B. s. Chapin and Miss Laura Fl. Chapin, assisted by their friends, Mrs Howard J. Rogers and Mir Ericsson F. Bushnell, in the song recital given at Scoville Li- brary, Salisbury on Monday afternoon of this week. The program was admira- ble in selection and arrangement and included some choice gems of the masters.
 The rendering of the various numbers was of high order of excellence and elicited enthusiastic applause. Mrs Rogers pleasing soprano appeared to great advantage in her selection, svinc- ing faithful study and close cultivation. That Mir Chapin's songs were accepta- ble goes aithout saying. where that gen. tlsman's impressive voice has so long been familiar. While any comparison here, where all was excellence, may per haps seem invidious it may be conceded that Miss Chapin and MT Bushnell were the particular stars of the occasion. The former in addition to being an accom- plished pianist is gifted with soprano voice of exceptional purity and sweet ness; her notes were simply ravishing, remindful of the melody of song birds. To those who had before been privileg- | ed to hear Mir Bushnell's rich baritone his magnificent rendering of the descrip- tive '.Israfer" and of the song garland, ''Irminzarde," was renewed delight; to those who heard him for the first time it was 8 revelation. The instrumental accompaniment of the voices, subtle art in itself and too often failing of rec ognition or appreciation, was most ably supplied by Mrs Chapin.
 Altogether the occasion throughout was one of soul satisfaction.

Revolt in India.

We have seen no explanation of the precise cause of the rising in Northern India, which the English are attempt ing to put down, but it has been known for long time to those familiar with Indian affairs that the country has been ripe for insurrection for long time. The course which England pursues toward India is very much the same as that pursued by Spain toward Cuba, briefly g system of heavy taxation for the benefit of absentees, very little of the money raised by taxation being spent in the country. And the country is so poor that . large proportion of the population subsist on one meal day.

OBITUARY.

In Memory Of Mrs Henry c. Stevens.
 In the death of Mrs Stevens the com munity of East Canaan sustains seri- ous loss While not able, for many year, to go about among the people, the people knew her and she knew the peo- pie She felt interested in all and had a good word for all. She took pleasure in entertaining outsiders at her home and in telling them of the fine country this is and of the worthy old families it contains. In fact, she gathered much material of historical and genealogical value which she had the desire of giv- ing some day to the public.
 Herself practical and active, she liked everything that looked like progress. She was very capable and intelligent, we'll informed, keeping up with the times. It was treat to converse with her. She loved books and magazines, trees and flowers. She was affectionate. iudicious, considerate and generous. and possessed genuine sympathy together with a refined taste. Her smile and the brightness of her eyes, the pleasant tone of her voice and all her cheerful ways = we who have known her shall always fondly remember.
 She spread sunshine in the house and cared most tenderly for her husband and her son and for all who belonged to her home circle. It was blessed home indeed which she made, and we have no doubt that it will be kept thus by the loving remembrance of her and by the perpetuation of her calm Chris tian influence. A woman of her quality and benign spirit, though in sense de- parted, must live on in her home and in the community.
 An evidence of the respect in which she was held by all appeared iu the un- usually large attendance at her burial, in the profusion of floral tributes, and in the deep feeling which, in a quiet way, expressed itself. She was truly beloved by all.
