mer, is becoming SO scientific as to be
practical. Realizing the mighty genius
necessary to retain and utilize the vast

| In closing I would express the wish
of every member that the Connecticut
Dairymen's association attain the ideal
of its founders by including on it's
membership roll the name of every per-
son identified with this great and grow

value and Importance to the human
race
All are cordially invited to take an
active part in the discussion following
each lecture, by so doing showing your
interest in the proceedings and help to
make the subjects interesting to all.
The president expresses his thanks to
the officers of the association for the
many courtesies extended and congrat-
ulates the members on the present
standing of the association before the
dairymen of Connecticut. / now invite
your attention to the excellent pro-
gramme provided by our accomplished
secretary.
REPORT OF SECRETARY F. H.
STADTMUELLER.
The report of Secretary #. Fl. Stadt-
mueller, which was presented after the
address of President Wadsworth,
showed total membership Of one hun
dred and sixty-one. OF this number
ninety are life and seventy-one annual.
The increase, however, is neither rapid
enough to meet the demands made upon
the association, nor 1t 1t nearly as large
as the number of men engaged in dairy
ing in the state. At the present time
there are five thousand engaged in dali
rying in Connecticut. If ten per cent.
of the dairymen were to become mem
bers of the association the board of
managers would be able not only to con-
ttnue the work as now outlined, but
could also enlarge the sphere of it's ac-
ttvity and usefulness. During the past
year eight institutions were held, being
at Litchfield. North Haven, Meriden,
Vernon Center, East Hartford, Eling-
WI, INidBCICiu anu ILoSl LIdIllPlOll
There has been some difficulty in loca-
ting the institutes where they will do
the most good 1t has become apparent
that in some sections an altogether too
elaborate idea prevails regarding the |
needs and functions of an institute |
force There are doubtless numerous !
places within the state where ten or a |
dozen earnest, progressive dairymen
can congregate, and who are deslrous
of deriving all the advantages to accrue
from the discussion of dairy topics by
acknowledged authorities. These men
should be encouraged to make their de-
sires known in regard to the holding of
Institutes.
The treasurer's report was presented
by Mr.. w. l. Bartholomew of Putnam
and showed the association to be in a
good condition.

A Case for Charity.

Over a week ago Fred Herr left
his wife and family intending to
come to Devils Lake to look up
some land. Not hearing from her
husband for some days, Mrs. Herr
became anxious and started across
the country in a prairie schooner
with her three children. Arriving
at Minnewaukan, the good people
Of that town seeing the pitible con-
dition of the. woman, being with
out food, cared for her and the
little ones. One of the children is
aged ten years. n is five and the
youngest only three weeks old.
The babe is a little midget, being
only about eighteen inches long,
and it's little wrists wouldn't mea-
sure more than an inch each. A
good lady at Minnewaukan asked
Mrs. Herr to allow her adopt it.
The mother. not properly under
standing that charity was intend
ed, thought it was intended to take
away the child from her, got ex-
cited and started off for this city /.
On the way they we're met by a
storm and underwent much hard
ship from the cold. They arrived
here Tuesday night cold and hun
cry at the house Of Mr.. Crawford,
who kindly offered shelter till
morning. when he reported the
matter to one Of the county officials
who had the family sent to the
Norsk House, where every atten-
ton has been paid them.
The woman is a Dane, and is
very anxious about her husband.
Being penniless and in trouble, it
seems a case where some Of our
charitable ladies could do some
thing in the way of encouragement
for the poor woman. She is under
the impression that strangers are
wanting to take her babe from her,
to which she clings very closely.

such an active part in the ceremo-

ministerial work since 1883, and is
probably the Oldest Methodist pas

The Fourth.

"A morning never dawned on a
brighter scene than on July 18th,
1899, as at the Chautauqua yester-
day. It will be a memorable one
for all who were present, and the
grand impression made never will
be forgotten. Wagon loads Of
visitors began to arrive early. At
6 o'clock the Minnie H." sounded
the first ''get ready" whistle, and
then it was that could be heard at
the hotel the ruf1ing of stifay
starched ginghams, the hurried
buttoning of the cranky, spotless
collar and cuffs-all getting in
their deadly work and taking the
place of the usual morning prayers.
A hurried breakfast, united shoe
strings and at $50 about fifty
boarded the Minnie H." for the
Fort Totten Indian annual cele-
bration. Yet people call all this
hustle, an inconvenience, ETC.,
pleasure and recreation-and so it
is. It knocks lazziness sky high.
From the auditorium melodous
whispers and sweet strains Of
sweet sounding voices fill the air
with unspeakable joy, and you
drink from the fountain of happi-
ness while strolling round as the
birds do the dripping dew from
the tree leaves-refreshed and ele-
waited in feeling as it were, upon
the throne of the seventh Heavan.
Chas. F. Craig in "Shore
Acres" a four act drama, captivat-
ed the audience at the start. His
reading Of the kilograms" an
nouncing the improving condition
of his mother-in-law was original
and the audience caught on. His
assumed sorrowful tone Of voice
caused pity to 60 forth-the people
believing him in earn est. But he
lookedsrather too happy and con-
tentedto be burdened with such
an essential appendage to mans,
joys and sorrows in this life. The
morning pogram at the auditorium
was carried out as announced to
the letter. The enclosure was
overtaxed, and it was found nee
cessary to place rows of seats on
the outside to accommodate the
unusually LARGE audience which
assembled to hear the great
Ignatius Donnelly on the appro-
pirate theme for the National day,
Patriotism" MI. Donnelly treat
ed the subject in such an able and
classical manner, that to leave out
any sentences would be doing in
justice to him. It was brimful Of
enthusiasm, and in his milesian
generosity of heart gave everyone
present, whether American or
foreign, good reason for him to
feel proud Of his country, reciting
deeds of chivalry by leaders Of
every nation. Much humorous
recitations were thrown in, and
SO nicely we're the different illus
trations introduced that the
audience were kept in the very
best Of humor throughout the adj
dress.
His address in the evening on
"Wit and Humor," was listened to
by a very large audience who we're
kept in constant laughter from
start to finish.
Fireworks in the evening after
the performances in the auditorium
were most elaborate and delighted
the hundreds of people while they
were kept waiting for the arrival
of a conveyance to get home.

No Inclination to Criticise the sham
rocks Ocean Voyage.


rocks Ocean Voyage.
Newport, r. l.. Aug. 20.-Eight promi-
nent members of the New York Yacht
Club talked yesterday afternoon about
the towing of the Shamrock, and, while
most of them were opposed to having their
opinions quoted, not one had any criti-
cism whatever to make of the challenger's
manner Of crossing the ocean, All were
glad to know that she had made the voy
age without damage and would be ready
to race when the day arrived.
Mr.. w. Butler Duncan, jr., of the De-
fender, approved the towing with char
acteristic enthusiasm. Why" he said, Il
don't see why she did not tow all the way"
Mr.. Herman B. Duryea, a member of the
committee which considered the suggestion
of the owner OF the Shamrock in regard
to towing in light weather. said: The
towing was perfectly proper and positively
no point whatever could be made against
it.
1.-THE towing Is perfectly fair and
square," declared Mr. G.. NJ Hutton. 'It
was done under an arrangement that is
in writing in the custody of the New York
Yacht Club. There may be some outcry
over it. but as a matter of fact yacht
that has to cross the Atlantic is at a great
disadvantage, even if towed all the way.
The strain of crossing the ocean under any
circumstances is considerable, and its
effect could not fail to be handicap upon
any vessel. This ought to be considered"

OLD COUPLE IN CUSTODY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rarnes Refuse to Re-
t1rn to ST. Louis.

Mr. and Mrs Barnes, OF ST. Louis. the
aged couple taken into custody by the police
Saturday night, are still held at No. 1 sta
ton, and the police officials are at a loss
as to what they are to co with their charges
No one appears willing to succor the un-
fortunate couple, and as they refuse to go
TO their former home there appears no al
tentative other than the poorhouse Mr.
and Mrs. Barnes declare that they would
rather die than enter that institution They
were examined by Police Surgeons Vale and
Nevitt yesterday to determine their mental
condition, and the result of the examina-
ton will be made known this morning.
Should the physicians decide that either
the man or the woman is unbalanced 1t is
more than probable that one or both of
the old people win be sent to ST. Eliza
beths.
John Samuel Barnes, the elder son of the
old couple, called at the Twelfth Street
station yesterday and saw Lieutenant
Amiss. What arrangement he made with
Lieutenant Amiss is not known. Later
when Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes were told that
their son had been in the station they de-
clared that their presence had been con-
cealed from him. else he would certainly
have visited them. They declare that the
boys have been influenced against them.
Mr. Barnes in a statement last night al
mitted that his mother was in a strange
mental condition, and that his father was
under her influence. He claimed Il at their
arrival here was a surprise TO himself and
his brother, and said that his parents were
in comfortable circumstances when they
left their home. Mr.. Barnes. jr., is at
present unable to provide for his parents
as he would like to- but says he has Of
fered them everything in his power. They
have refused to accept it.
Mrs Barnes would not taste food yester-
day, though it was twice offered TO her by
Matron Mcleod. Mr.. Barnes, sr., de-
clined to eat in the morning claiming that
he was too grieYed. Later when dinner
was brought him he partook freely. Mrs.
Barnes has not eaten for two days.
