COMEDIES AT PEQUoT HOUSE.
Delightful Entertainment at Morris
 Cove Last Night

Delightful Entertainment at Morris
 Cove Last Night.
 The Peauot club gave a very delight ful entert~pment last evening at the club house at Morris Cove. The assem- bly, room, which was attractively dec- orated, was filled. It was all the more a pleasant evenings fun because of the steady downpour outside.
 The Lyceum Comedy company played at the club house last year. They were so well liked that they were re-engaged this season, and last evening presented a trilogy of little comedies entitled "Ruth's Romance "He, She and It. and That Dreadful Doctor" The lat ter was especially amusing, being the story of the complications arising from 8 young married couple, each having conf1dentially friendly doctor to help him or her out of difficulties. The hus- band is very fond of shooting, but his wife dislikes his going away. She asks the aid of doctor to persuade her husband. The husband enlists the sympathy of another doctor, and be- tween them a lot of entanglements come up.
 The cast Of the company was com- posed of the following players, and in | "Ruth's Romance their parts were: Miss Anita Hendrie. ...... Ruth Carey Herbert Flansburgh.. Jack Dudley David Niles. Captain Wilkin

The weeks intervening between the Jewish fast of Tamuz, which fell this year on Sunday, July IS, corresponding to the 18th day of the month of Tamuz, and the fast of Alb (Tisha B'Ab), which occurs on August Sth. the 9th day of Ab, are set down in the Jewish calen- dar as the period of mourning.

MUNsEY's TERRoRs.

 The lNfohegan House Ground Floor to be
 a Department Store--New London's | Big Agitation.
 The business men of New London are considerably agitated over the report that Manager Merrill of the Mohegan House is to let the whole of the ground floor of his building for big depart ment store. Under ordinary circum- stances such report would occasion little attention, but Merrill has cut such a wide swath lately in the commercial affairs of New London that any new venture of his excites immediately the interest of everybody. The Mohegan house is the big pile of brick that Frank Munsey. the New York publish er put up for publishing house, but which was turned into a hotel because the publishing enterprise went wide of calculations, In the first place the building was too weak for printing presses. Then the postal authorines wouldn't give Munsey certain privileges on his magazines, and lastly Munseys employees went on a strike. The compl- nation of troubles prompted the pub fisher to forsake New London as ms printing headquarters, and he went back to New York. The printing house was then turned into hotel and la beled "Mohegan House. after a famous tribe of Indians that once lived in thls section. The hotel was fitted up in ele- gant style and splendid living provided. TheAhouse was advertised as a four dol lar day house, but it is said that the rates have been cut in particular in stances. Manager Merrill has been in charge for several months, and he has simply opened the eyes of the nations by his airs and promises He has run his place so all the, other hotel proprie- tors in town are wondering whether they can stay in the business. Indeed Landlord A. H. Hale of the Crocker House is looking around for purchas- CT, because he says he cannot compete with Merrill and Munsey's money. The Haies have run the Crocker for years, and it has been one of the most popular hostelries in the state, but it's no use, says the present manager, putting up a contest against the Mohegan pace.

FOOLISH Nation.

1t is said in Washington that
the government of Spain has circu-
lated among the Spanish army
officers pamphlets containing care
fully prepared maps of the United
States together with diagrams and
elaborate descriptions of all the
forts, Notifications and military
organizations in this country. If
this has actually been done it may
have restraining influence upon
Spain's military hot heads by
showing them a rough outline of
the impossible task they would
encounter in any attempt to invade
American territory. The circuIa-
ton of such documents among the
Spanish leaders appears to be
somewhat of the nature of cam
paign of education.

that under certain conditions. yet
to be ascertained, the crew of the.

classed as pirates, and as such may
be demanded and handed over to

be demonstrated that the action of

in peril of Spanish vengeance or
what passes for justice with that

that Spain would ask for their

United States would comply with.

vastly increase the tension between
this country and Spain. There
have been many popular manifes

An AIIy to Cuba.

The yellow fever and smallpox
are becoming strong allies to the
Cuban rebels in defeating the
Spaniards, as large numbers of the
Spanish soldiers are dying from
these fatal diseases. 1t is enough
to excite the pity of all civilized
people to read the accounts ofsuf-
ferings of the Spanish soldiers in
and about Havana. And it does
surely seem that such a system of
warfare as is being tolerated in
Cuba, should not have place in
modern civilization.

Without any intention of max

still but the honest truth to say
that to.no office ret tiiliing from pubs
lie service can the commendation.
well done thou good and faithful
servant" be more appropriately
applied than to Mr.. George r.
Gardner, whose term of Office as
Sheriff closes with the present
year. And the excellence of his
official life in this capacity is but
fitting climax to long career as
public servant which has been no
less honorable to himself than sat
isfactory in the highest degree to
those concerned in the honesty and
integrity of his administration. 1t
is now twelve years since MIR.
Gardner came into public promi-
nence, when, in 1884, he was elect
ed Assessor for the upper district
of this county, on the Republican
ticket. So consistently admirable
was his discharge of the onerous
and responsible duties of his office,
that, as on the occasion of his first
election, he was again in 1888 re-
elected to that position by an over
whelming majority. And the un-
swerying rectitude of his conduct
and his high conception of his
official position and duties won
him such general esteem that when
in 1892 he ran for Sheriff on the
Republican ticket, his nomination
YVES a success of enthusiasm.
Since his occupation of that
Office Mr.. Gardner has won golden
opinions from all ranks and classes
of men and we are guilty of no
breach of confidence when we say
that State Auditor Johnson, and
others well qualified to judge,
affirm that no one could have more
honestly, faithfully and intelli-
gently discharged the duties
of Sheriff than Mr.. Gardner
has done. He has proved an ex-
emplary officer and when he re-
tires he will leave to his successor a
department running with the most
perfect smoothness, and clear
balance sheet. He has gained the
general good will as much by the
attractive popularity of his own
personality as because in his adj
ministration of public affairs he
has left politics entirely in the
background and acted honestly and
fairly with all, irrespective of party
affiliations. Like another Cincin-
natus Mr.. Gardner was called from
his plow to take public Office He
is prosperous farmer and during
his official career he has yet found
time to manage his farming inter
ests as we'll, and now that he is to
retire, though not permanently, we
hope, into private life. he carries
with him the good will of the en-
tire community and the best wishes
for his future welfare.
