NEGRO REFORMATION.
J. 1T. smyth's Plea for a Reformatory

J. H. Snyth's Plea for a Reformatory
 in Virginia.
 Those who were present in Colt Me- morial hall, Hartford, Wednesday eve ming, says the Hartford Courant, had the pleasure of listening to an extreme ly interesting and able address by the Hon. John H. Smyth of Richmond, Va, a lawyer, and one of the leading colcred men of his state. He did not hesitate to tell the truth about the degradation of the colored race and he mace an earnest appeal for tie es- tablishment of a reformatory for ne- groes His oratory and command Of language were of a quality of which any man might be proud.
 Charles F. Gross, who introduced the speaker, told the following inter- esting story about him. His father was a slave and his mother a free woman. According to the laws of Virginia at that time no colored man could be free and when she married him she bought him, in order that he might be practi- cally free. At her death the husband would have been obliged to leave the
  dient of bequeathing him as 8 legacy to her son, John H. Smyth. When she passed away this man became the legal owner of his father. MT. Smyth has twice been appointed minister to Li- beria and he is now counselor for some of the largest corporations of Rich mond He said:
 T speak in behalf of those of my race whose lives are ruined because they petty offenses and are there forced to associate with the most hardened of criminals. There is a great need of a reformatory for negroes, where they may be taught the ways of earning an honest living. It is the duty which you owe to yourselves and your children which ought to induce you to raise the negroes from their present condition. Hence the probability of reform. The negroes are an integral part of the population and their degradation must result in a lowering of all. When the war was over and the black people were released from the yoke of author ity and discipline they acted in way which wrought them injury. There was a revulsion from the idea of work; the children were not trained to trades and they came to look upon certain forms of honest labor as below them.
 'tThe idea still exists among many of them. The negro race is burdened with the evil effects of slavery and you are not going to conquer all the tendencies of heredity by ten years of school ing. They constitute the poorest and most degraded portion of the popula- tion More children are growing up in ignorance than are being educated and they will be a greater danger to your children than they are to you. Your own selfish interests must lead you to help them. The raising up of these young criminals is of the greatest i'm portance and we ask for your help"
 He then gave a very interesting pie ture of the terrible state of affairs now existing in the Virginia prisons.

If you once give it a trial, you will know why everybody rec ommends 1t, because you will experi- ence at once it's marvellous beneficial ef- feet.

oIn cHTrRcH ARANDoNED

It has been decided to abandon the King street Baptist church of Green wich. The larger churches in Port Chester and other places have drawn the younger generation away, and the trustees, two years ago, decided that when a Baptist church was organized in the borough of Greenwich they would sell the property and turn the proceeds over to it. The church was formed few weeks ago. Two years after the old church was built, in 1773, it was used as a hospital for revolu- tionary soldiers. The building is in all most as good a condition as it was when 1t was first erected.

THE SARSF1ELD'S ENTERTAIN
 MENT
Miss Feutchwanger and Mir Milander
 in Comedies

Miss FeutchWanger and Mir Milander
 in Comedies.
 The Sarsfield's entertainment at Warner hall last night was most enjoy able The principal feature was the ap- pearance of Miss Isabelle Feuchtwan- ger and MT. Albert Milander in two small comedies. Miss Feucht wanger and MT. Milander are both well known amateurs and their joint appearance was sure to be a success. Both possess undoubted ability for the stage and their work is so eminenty apt and tasteful that they cannot come under the usual slur attached to the term "ama- teur" Both has especially pleasing stage present and good voices. It is to be regretted that they are not oftener seen.
 "Mr. and Mrs. Muffet" Is a delightful little comedy and it was enthusiastical- ly appIauded. "The Decision of the Court is of a higher grade and re- quires great skill for it's successful ex- ploitation. It was acted here good many years ago by Agnes Booth in a performance by the "Theater of Arts and Letters Miss Feuchtwanger was particularly clever in this part and in her quiet methods she was not unlike Agnes Booth. MT. Milander supported Mis- Feuchtwanger admirably and they were both warmly applauded at the close. It was performance that should be seen again.
 MT. Riley Phillips and Miss Mary Lynch sang both before and between the comedies. After the programme there was dancing.

Poli's Wonderland Theater.

The fascination of "The storm Dance' is it's realism, which although absurd in one sense, for one would never expect to see five girls dancing in the rain, without mackintoshes, but fetching in the fact that it is real rain, and that it pours in great volume on the dancers while beautiful electric effects for colored lights add brilliancy to the ballet.
 A large audience witnessed the act last evening and voted it splendid novelty. The audience was also lavish in applause for Lima Pantzer, the queen of the bounding wire, whose daring act is wonderful exhibition of skill.
 The bill also includes Albertus and Bartram, Howe and Edwards, Beeson, Miles and Lulu, Joe Linder, Macart, Foy and Clark and the Fansons.
 Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, 10 cents.

New Haven Defeats Them by Six Goals
 Fluke-Show Bad Temper and
 Shady Tactics
 A large crowd assembled in the new rink on Chapel street last night to see the New Haven Wallingford game. A special attraction was the presence of Bone and Smith. two we'll known polo players on the home team. From start to finish New Haven had the game we'll in hand, and simply played around lucky shot the entire length of the rink it would have been clean sweep for New Haven. During the first period considerable time was lost on two oc- casions through Wallingford's squab- bling over fouls given against them. Wallingford drew first blood in 3:13, which was quickly obviated by New Haven in 34 seconds. The first period ended, New Haven 1, Wallingford i. The second period drew out some fine play both sides, but Bone and Spen- cer of New Haven were conspicuous. Jordan was also putting in some fine work. The three goals of this period all fell to New Haven, through Spencer, and when time was called the score was New Haven 4, Wallingford 1.
 beautiful rush and combination play by Spencer and Bone gave New Haven the fifth goal in IS seconds. Thereafter Bone played as he liked with his opponents. For speed and tricky play he is wonder. After they prac- tice some time together the new per- sonnel of the New Haven team will be hard to beat The following is the line up and summary:
