Saand flow out upon the restless bosom Of

times are especially productive OF gee

BEHIND THE WICKET.

The Peslly Goat Was Kept Busy Last
 Night.
 Hammonassett Tribe, No. 1, of the Red Men, last night received from Hartford full set of the finest and most costly paraphernalia ever in this city and it undoubtedly rivals that of any tribe of Red Men in the state. The set consists of uniform for each of the officers of the tribe and are made of the finest buckskin and heav- fly headed. The prophets outfit is of white buckskin and is certainly a beauty. The others are of yellow bucksl1in. It was intended at last nights meeting to complete the or ganization of joint degree team of the members of Hammonassett and Ansantawae Tribes, but the matter was postponed.
 Ansantawae Tribe No. 3 will to-mor- row night work the chiefs degree on six candidates.
 Hiram lodge, r. and A. M, will work the third degree on one candidate at the regular meeting tomorrow night.
 Harmony lodge, No. $, I. o. o. F., last night initiated two candidates in the third degree and enjoyed banquet afterward.
 Lillian M. Hollister tent of the Lady Maccabees is in very fourishing con- dition. At a regular meeting held last night eighteen candidates were initiat- ed and fifteen applications for member ship were received. A social session followed
 On Monday East Rock lodge No. H. Q. c. F., initiated several candidates
 A new feature of the meetings of Ezel lodge, No. 8, K. of P, was intro duced last night. After the transac- tion of the regular business an infor- mai smoker was indulged in. Speech es, story telling and general social con- versation served to make the evening a very pleasant one.

TO CONSOLIDATE STORES.

F. M. Brown & Go. Preparing to Still
 Further Cater to Convenience of Gus
 toners.
 F. M. Brown & Co.,, the well known dry goods merchants, announce that they are about to consolidate their dry goods departments, now divided in the east and west stores, into the store known as the west store, this step be- ing taken in order to do away with the unhandy and inconvenient gap be- tween the stores. The change has been contemplated for some years, although the firm has been quietly endeavoring to have Gregson street, where it en- ters under the Insurance building, closed up, so that the two stores might be combined This having been found to be impossible, the move mentioned above has now been decided upon as the only feasible alternative. The west store will be enlarged and the basement entering from Chapel street to Center street will be utilized for store space under the new arrange ment, thereby adding several thou sand feet of store room to the west store, so that the store space will be as great, if not greater, than at pres ent with the east and west stores. Although by the change from the east store two show windows will be sacri- feed, this will be fully made up for by the consolidation of the departments and greater convenience for customers, obviating the necessity which has heretofore existed of customers being obliged in order to pass from mfhe de- partments of one store to those of the other to cross Gregson street, which on stormy days is a veritable air-shaft, the wind swirling through with great force. This inconvenience has been greatly deplored by thousands of pat rons of the store, who hail with pleas ure the announcement that this un- pleasant feature will be done away with. The consolidation necessitates the sale of a large amount of stock in preference to moving it and therefore on Thursday (to-morrow) the change will be inaugurated by a great con- solidation sale of stock, especially that in the east store.
 The firm is now planning also for the regular spring opening of millinery, capes, jackets, tailor made suits and general Easter wear, which they pro- pose will be the finest they have ever held.
 This will take place on Wednesday and Thursday of next week.
 A large force of salespeople will be kept until the sale begins on Thursday Ynnrniner marking down goods

Colonel Hadley of New York, formerly of this city, was in charge, and spoke of the views as they were produced on the scene. ''The Drunkard's Home" was presented. A solo, Father Come Home" was beauti- fully rendered by Mrs. Albert Angus. A recitation "The Flower Girl' was given by Miss Ella Angus, the elocu- tionist. Ice cream and cake were serv- ed to all present. Colonel Hadley will remain in town this week.
 On Saturday evening "A Nickel Concert" will be given at the head quarters, consisting of recitations, mu- sic, etc. Miss Ella Angus will also ap- pear attired as the Goddess of Lib erty" and recite the patriotic selection, ''The Dying Soldier"

Action of North Haven Town Meeting
 Yesterday
 The town of North Haven by large vote yesterday, agreed to expend $3,O00 on their roads under the provi- sions of the state act. This appropri- ation will be used in the center of vil- lage on the road known as Broadway, extending east from Mansfield's bridge to the corner of Pierpont Park. It was the largest town meeting ever held there. Resolutions were offered by H. F. Potter of Montowese to use the ap- propriation in that vicinity, but from the fact that that portion of the town already had a greater mileage of good roads than any other they we're de- feated. It was also voted to unite with the town of Wallingford and build an iron bridge over the Quinnipiac river at Hotchkiss' mills.

PROFESSOR PARKERs oRAToRIo
Finely Rendered in Bridgeport Last
 Eyening

Evening.
 Professor Parker's oratorio, Flora Novissima," was sung last night by the Bridgeport Oratorio society. A large number of New Haven people who were interested in the production went over for the performance. Pro lessor Parker himself was present and when his presence became known to the audience he was given a tremend- ously enthusiastic reception. The work made profound impression on all who heard it. It is easy to understand why the critics have placed him at the head of American composers, for there has been nothing like this oratorio by any of his contemporaries.
 The chorus under MT. Damrosch's di- rection did excellent work. Of the SO loists Miss Stein and Joseph Baernstein carried off the honors. Madame De We're -Sapio appeared to be unfamiliar with the score, and MT. Rieger, who replaced Evan Williams, who was in- disposed, was not impressive. The or chestra did good work.
 After Professor Parker's work Dvorak's short cantata, ''The American Flag" was sung.
