An Evening of Music, REGULATIONS
and Plays at odd Fellows Hall.
A pleasant evening was spent by those
who attended the entertainment given at
Odd Fellows hall last night by Woodmen
Circle. There was a fair audience, and
the excellent programme was enjoyed.
Dancing was had after the conclusion of
the programme, and an additional source
of enjoyment was thus afforded.
The programme consisted of an overture
by the orchestra; selection by Miss Yetta
Herman; a song, THE Dream" by Mr..
James Goodman; a recitation, "Papa's
Letter." by Miss Carrie Smith; a fancy
dance, LA Monarch" very gracefully
tripped by little Miss Ruthie sheftall; a
piano selection, by Mr.. Robert Irwin; a
comic song, that was very cleverly sung
and characterized by Master Preston Ev
erett; a selection by the Mandolin Club;
a recitation by Miss Nellie Everett; song
II Love Dat Man." by Miss Agnes Bell; a
recitation. Mail Your Colors to the Mast"
by Prof. McIlveen, and a drama. MAS
querading," presented by Misses Josie
Ruth, Marie Thomas and Ruby Mcintyre.
Encores were frequent, those responding
to the numbers catching the audience by
the excellence of their work. One of the
features of the entertainment was the
playing by little Miss Herman who has
been heard in several concerts here and
who has excited a good deal of interest.

attention and good food the lives of at
least some of these men could have been
saved. He said he was unable to place
the responsibility for the neglect, but that
the captain of the vessel had stated that

BLACK DIAMOND NECKLACE.
Owned by Chicago Lady and
worth n Fortune.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.
The only black diamond necklace known
to exist IN this country or Europe Is that
owned by Mrs. Celia Wallace Of the Au-
ditorium. Mrs. Wallace has been fifteen
wears collecting them and has searched for
the perfect stones in every Jewel market
of the world They are found more often
In The diamond mines of South Africa and
In rare instances in South America.
The black diamond, as ats name signifies,
is as lefty as a piece of coal, perfectly

KILLS A NEGRO EMPLOYE.
John Wyche Shoots Charley Caesar.
other Macon Items.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 2.-John Wyche, man
ager of Mansields dray line, shot and
instantly killed one of his negro employees,
Charley Caesar, to-day. The negro was
drunk and refused to do his work. Wyche
discharged him and the negro became in
furiated. He advanced ON Wyche with a
long open knife. When within few feet
Wyche shot him through the heart. The
negro had frequently, when drunk, said
he wanted to kill Wyche, but when sober
was a good hand
Wyche's life was threatened by the
negroes at the Central Railroad compress
after the killing and he was advised by
friends to put himself In charge of the
sheriff. He went home to tell his wife Of
has trouble and to surrender to officers.
While there two policemen called and ar
rested him He was allowed 20 remain in
the corridor of the city prison until after
the coroner's inquest. AS the coroner's
iurv decided the killing was entirely jus
tilted, Mayor Price ordered Wyche's re-
lease. There seems to be no danger from
negroes late tonight.

HEATING WITH WATER.
Scientific Explanation of "A Fact We'll
Known to Nurses.
From the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record
A bottle of hot water win retain its heat
longer than a hot fatiron or a hot brick,
as every nurse knows. The reason is that,
weight for weight and at the same tenn
perature, the water contains more heat
than either the brick n the iron.
Experiments have shown that the same
quantity of heat which will raise the tenn
perature of a given weight of water say
one pound, one degree, and which the wa
ter viii give off in cooling, will raise the
temperature of a pound of iron nine de-
grees. bottle of boiling hot water con-
tains as much heat, and will do as much
In the way Of warming, as a red-hot mass
of iron of the same weight.
The difference between water and iron
as regards capacity for heat is not an ex-
ceptional case. A like difference exists be-
tween other substances, no two substances.
whether, solid liquid or gaseous being
affected by the application of heat, when
equal weights are taken, to the same ex-
tent. To put this fact into everyday
phraseology, some substances are harder
to heat than other substances. They are
able to receive and 10 stow away within
themselves greater quantity of heat
without showing its effect so vIsibly by
a rise Of temperature as do other sub
stances which are more sensitive in this
resDect.
Water is the hardest of all substances to
heat, with the single exception of HYDRO
gen gas. The easiest two are mercury and
lead, which stand in this respect on nearly
the same footing. The same quantity Of
heat which viii raise an ounce Of water
from the freezing to the boiling point will
raise the temperature of about thirty
ounces of mercury or lead, nine ounces Of
iron, eleven ounces of copper, sixteen
ounces of silver through the same number
of degrees, and The heat which Is put into
these substances to raise them to this or
any other temperature will be thrown off
by them as they cool.
The greater CAPACITY Of water for heat
the fact that given quantity Of il will
hold a much larger amount of heat at a
conveniently low temperature than win
any other substance-renders st peculiarly
suitable for the purpose Of heating buiid-
ngs, not to speak Of the ease with which
II can be conducted 20 the different parts
Of the building. On a far grander scale we
may see this same popularity of water
utilized by nature for tempering climate
The waters Of the ocean absorb during the
summer a vast quenlity OF solar heat
without, however showing any great rise
OF temperature, and during the winter this
heat IS given out slowly and serves to
warm the air.

JOHN ToRD,s SPITE HOUSE.
For $50 Years 1t Is to Defy the Tax
Gatherer of Branford.
From the New York Sun.

from the New AOfk sun.
One OF the most interesting among the
real estate possessions of Yale University
is piece of land In the town of Branford,
and comprising fifteen or twenty acres.
1t might excite no special interest were 1t
not for the old house which stands near
the main road from New Haven to Bran
ford Center. This house, built by a mari
ners compass, stands cornerwise of the
lot II is dilapidated. The roof, green
with accumulation of moss, has partly
collapsed; not a pane of glass remains in
the narrow windows; the sills have sunk
from sight, and the doors lack panels,
hinges and latches. Even the step stone
Is worn away and nearly obscured by the
growth of weeds which ehokes the yard.
1t Is quite 200 years since the house was
built. For all It's age, until the past year
il has been kept i'm semi-repair and has
seldom lacked a tenant. About year
ago. when it was found that the Canoe
Brook district in the town of Branford
needed a new school house the little
brown dwelling was considered to occupy
the most desirable site, and negotiations
were begun for its purchase. But the
house is not for sale, nor Is the land upon
which it stands.
The property belonged once to John
Ford. At his death he bequeathed IL to
Yale College for 939 years. with the pro-
vIso that 1t was to be leased to Martha
Palmer and William BALDWIN and their
heirs for the sum of one shilling 16 2-3
cents) for twenty years, and 10 be released
every twenty years for the same sum. The
will also provided that the house on the
corner lot should be kept in repair, and
that no other building should be placed
there.
The reason given for this disposition of
the property is that Mr. Ford thought the
town of Branford realized too much from
his taxes, and so determined to outwit the
authorities. Yale pays no taxes; there
fore the land should go to the college.
Branford is a thrifty town, with well
kept highways and prosperous homes. me
citizens feel pride in their possessions.
The drive along the shore from New
Haven to Branford Point is very popular
during the season, and the weather-bea
old Ford place lacking in the picturesque
features which often surround ruin, Is
an evesore to Branford people and blot
on the Branford landscape. Many efforts
have been made to purchase the house.
but the will stands in the way. Inc pres
ent tweuty-year lease expires in 1899, ana
an effort will then be made to improve
the place. Probably all the old material
available will be utilized, and comforta-
HE and attractive dwelling be evolved
from the ruins.
The present owner of the old ruin Is
Elisha Case, a pie baker of Chicago, VINO
married Miss Charlotte Baldwin of Bran
ford a great-granddaughte Of william
BALDWIN. the old sea captain who built the
house.

DEFEATS vIRGiN1ANs.
Much FumbIing ON the Part of Both
Teams.

Princeton, N. J.. Nov 2.-The Princeton
Tigers defeated the foot ball team from
the University of Virginia this afternoon
by a score of 70 TO 0. The game was the
first to be played on Brokaw field. and
was Witnessed by 1000 spectators. Vir-
yinia did not threaten the Tigers goal
once during the twenty-minute halves, but
the southerners held the Princetons sew
eral times for downs. There was much
fumbling on the part of both teams, and
the Tigers played carelessly.
The only exciting feature OF the game
was sensational run of eighty yards by
George Lathrop around Virginia's left and
across the goal line. The touchdown was
not allowed by the referee. because of
holding that took place during the scrlm-
mage. The two touch-downs We're made
in the first half by Black, the gains being
made by straight-line bueking and end
runs Hillebrand kicked both goals.

UETGERTS second trial served
| no better purpose than to fur
nish another Illustration of the
fact that the public is eternally in pur-
suit of new diversions. This accused
sausa sc maker was a sensation for a lit
tie while. but there was not enough of
his case 10 entertain the curious world
very long Throughout the country
the first Luetgert trial engaged atten-
ton. The newspapers published hun
| dreds or even thousands of miles from
| Chicago printed column after column
of the first-trial testimony, yet appar-
emily they didn't print enough to quiet
the craving; right in the region where
we live Chicago newspapers had extra
large sale i'm those days.
You cannot account for this. The
man himself is evidently Il boor; the
manner of the murder certainly was
not romantic: the woman confessedly
was not an attractive person. Yet it
is certain that Luetgerts first trial had
fuller reports and more readers than
the more significant murder trial. in
volving Sheriff Martin. is getting. Per-
haps the fact that all the evidence in
the Luetgert trial was circumstantial
accounts in part for this.
But, even then. popular curiosity in
Luetgert's second trial was not sus-
tanned. His attorneys found him just
as hard To handle as the attorneys did
who pulled him through the first trial.
But the scant reports of progress in
the court room filed every want, the
eloquence of the summing up was not
attractive To the public, the impressive
verdict caused few people to pause in
order To get a better idea of the scene;
indeed il is probable that good per-
centage of the public, on reading yes
terday mornings news of the verdict
hardly realized that the ease had
reached the jury.
There will be more about Luetgert.
\ sentence of life Imprisonment is the
result Of the second trial. But he
laughs at IL and announces an appeal.
Whatever the result Luetgert has
ceased To be a novelty, The ftfu pub
lie. always seeking new sensations. is
tired of him; the lively interest taken
in his first trial and the indifference
respecting his second trial. suggest an
entertaining topic for study.
