North Brookf1eld, Nov. 11.-Rev. Jean
Berger pastor of the dissenting French
speaking people, was insulted near the
depot this morning. He did his best
to see that his tormenter was punished.
He threatened to send to state prison
the person who insulted him. if he
could learn his identity. but this he
was unable to do. 1t was all because
the French clergyman was mockingly
called "Chiniquy."
This term is hateful to the French
people, because they profess to have
nothing in common with FIR. Chiniquy,
who died few years ago A crowd
of men were working near the depot
when Rev. Jean Berger went by. Some
one called out "Chiniquy, and FIR.
Berger at once came back to express
his opinion of such Conduct. He at

his followers, who said things concern

Admiral Dewey said that he liked
New York. He wanted to stay here a
few days. and would be sorry to leave,
but he would be obliged to cut short
his visit, if he should be accorded any
more such receptions as he and his
bride received today at Fifteenth street
and Union square. A crowd followed
the admiral and Mrs. Dewey as they
walked down Fifth avenue from the
hotel. At Fifteenth street it gathered

been inforced up to today, was relaxed,
and a few friends were received.
Admiral Dewey remained all the eve
ming in his apartments in the Waldorf.
His son dined with him, and together
they took a stroll through the corridors
Of the hotel, about o'clock. A sur
prise was given the admiral by the
members of the band of the Olympia.
They serenaded him at the hotel being
taken quietly into the room adjoining
the admiraPs suite, where they struck
up tune. When the admlghl learned
what the meaning of the music was,
he went in and greeted his old sailors.
Then he went back and escorted Mrs.
Dewey in and presented them to her

The story of the courtship of Miss

gentleman was recognized as one of the
cleverest members of his profession, his
appearance was locked forward TO with
much interest. At last it came. The
stage attendants carried on to the stage
three dressed figures, seated in chairs. as
usual. The professor followed and then
went through an astonishing perform
ance. No one could detect muscle Of
his face move during the laughable dia-
logues, and the changes of voice seemed
marvellous.
On retiring the applause was deafen-
ing, and the ventriloquist had TO return
again and again to thank the audience
for their appreciation. a couple of min
utes or so after, when the audience were
talking among themselves as to how it
was done, they were thunderstruck to
see the three figures get up from the
chairs and walk off the stage also, but
on realizing how completely they had
been sold the laughter was uproari-

In Lithuania, a province OF Russia, it
is customary that the BRIDES ears should
be boxed before the marriage ceremony.
No matter how tender hearted the moth
er may be she always makes it n point
of administering hearty smack to her
daughter in the presence of witnesses,
and note is made of the fact The
mothers intention is Il kind one, though
the custom itself is bad. The reason for
it is to protect the bride should her mar
riage prove an unhappy one. In that
case she will sue for a divorce, and her
plea will be that she was forced into the
marriage against her will, and on that
score the verdict of the judge will be in
her favor.
