SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

The largest reception of the week and
one Of the most delightful, was given
Thursday afternoon by Mrs. George NJ;
Noble, Mrs. Kittie Reed Bailey ana
Mrs. Walter Thomas at the handsome
Noble residence on Harrison street
The approach to the house was charm
ing and prepared the callers for the eX-
ouisite decorations within. The avn
ings of the broad porch were lowered,
and the floor covered with rugs While
numerous chairs and cosy corners We're
arranged for the comfort of the guests
At one end of the porch which was
screened off with palms, punch was
served during the afternoon by several
young ladies.
The reception hall was fragrant with
great jars of white honeysuckle and
sweet peas. Long stenmed A1ne erl'iS1ll
Beauty roses were used in the drawing
room, while jacqueminot roses held
sway in the library.
The greatest efforts however, had been
spent in the dining room which was
charming in yellow and green. The top
of the round polished table in the center
of the room was almost hidden from
view by trailing vines of asparagus
fern, dotted with tiny incandescent
lights which produced a very pretty ef-

bouquet of yellow roses, and yellow
roses and asparagus fern were also on

THE ART EXHIBITION.

Opens Tonight at Warner Hall.
the great picture galleries Of Europe
and America, and view the finest seen
cry of many lands, by making the short
journey to Warner hall on Chapel
street at the pecuniary outlay of ten
cents. The perfection of the Helman-
Taylor photographs and the energy OF
the Woman's Public School association
have given us this charming oppor-
tunity..
There one can famiiarize oneself
with the general aspect and signih-
canoe of the great masterpieces.
Though the exhibition Is held especially
for the young students of our public
schools, old and young alike will find
pleasure and profit in studying the pic
lures. The catalogue is arranged in a
thoroughly clear and artistic manner,
affording every assistance to the stu
dent-a delightful introduction to the
foreign galleries for those who are
contemplating a trip abroad
The school children will take a spe-
cial pleasure in the exhibit, as the pro-
ceedS are to be spent in buying pictures
for the various school buildings, and
the children themselves will have a
voice in the selections made for the
rooms. The Journal of Education
speaking of this exhibit says: "The re-
productions are all Systematically ar
ranged according to subjects and afford
the best opportunities for teachers and
students to familiarize themselves with
the works Of the worlds famous artists.
All in all, this is one of the best of the
latest departures in education" The
exhibition will open tonight at 8
o'clock. Music will give an added charm
to the evening, and a large attendance
is expected. New Haven will doubtless
not be behind the other cities of New
England and the west in appreciation
of this artistic privilege

rider, the smallest wheel In the world

Little Miss Smith is diminutive to a

has self-confidence which is of an In
verse ratio to her size and weight She
was just three years and ten months
old when she first started to ride-only
baby, but she has kept steadily at it
ever since, and while she has never per-
haps done her century" she possesses
a start on her future riding record that
Is calculated to turn future rivals azure
blue with envy.

year-old wheelwoman rides is unique I'm
other ways. Her father Joseph Smith,
is a jeweler in Germantown. Alter MS

RICHARDSON'S FOLLY

Would it really be well for theAcoun-
try to be governed by men who would
drive out of business any manufacturer
whose profits exceeded per cent on
his money? The followers of Mr. Rich
ardson, the democratic leader in the
House, must surely be able to perceive
without much thinking the meaning of
his latest proposal. Who supports the
farmers of Tennessee, Alabama and
ether Southern states? The followers
know, if Mr.. Richardson does not, that
they are supported by those whose pur-
chases supply market for the cotton
and grain the meats and vegetables
raised on Southern farms Without
great army manufacturing and min
ing hands to- buy the food from farms
and the cloth from cotton mills. the
farms would not be worth as much as
richer virgin soil Is worth in the wild
and unsettled regions of the Far West
where square miles Of land can be had
for nothing. Are the people of the
South destitute of sense when they Of
fer all sorts of inducements to encour-
age the location of manufacturing con-
Germs among them. or Is 1t the man
who would prevent any such develop
ment and diversification of industry
who is destitute of sense?
To prohibit transportation Of pro-
ducts by concerns earning more than
per cent is to prohibit any invest
ment in manufacture No man would
expose one dollar of his capital to the
risks Of business If he could get only

PLANT ELECTED COMMODORE
PROMINENT NEIV YORK YATCHTS-
NAN HEAD OF N. II. YACHT CLUE.
Annual Meeting and Election of Officer
In Tontine Lust Evening-Lurge sum
of Money pledged TO Put Club GA Firm


The annual meeting of the New Ha-
ven Yacht club, held in the Tontine
hotel last evening, was one of the most
important for some years. 1t was
quite largely, attended and Ia distinct
air Of enthusiasm prevailed which later
took most substantial form.
The election Of officers resulted, as
was expected in the election Of Morti-
mer F. Plant of New York city, to be
the clubs commodore. Mr. Plant is
the son of the late millionaire founder
of the Plant line of steamships, at pres
ent resides in New York city, but with
the transfer of the company's offices to
New Haven, it is expected that he will
make his home here. He is q young
man, an enthusiastic yachtsman and
the owner of the famous steel schooner
yacht "Ingomar," which will now be
the flagship Of the club. His connec-
ton with the New Haven Yacht club
is sure to regain for the club great
deal of it's prestige, and revival of the
yachting craze around New Haven is
enthusiastically predicted by many
club members.
Mr.. Plants election, however, is not

the only indication that the approach
ing season will be a memorable one in
the clubs history. For some time now,
through lack of interest, its financial
standing has not been of the best, and
improvements have been few and far
between During the election of off,
GERS last evening, though, a paper cifcu-
lated among those present secured
pledges amounting to several hundred
dollars-more than enough to pay OH
all existing Indebtedness and to secure
a number Of needed improvements. The
idea of passing the paper was a spon-
taneous one, and Is but another indlca-
ton that re-awakened enthusiasm IS
to overturn the clubs staid old policy.
The clubs opening sail will be hela
this year as usual on May 80. Nothing
as yet has been arranged for the event
but the newly elected regatta commit
tee will go to work at once on the pre-
liminaries 1T is understood that sew
eral new yachts have been purchased
by members during the winter and VIII
make their first appearance on 'ha'
day.
The full list of officers elected last
evening was as follows:

THOMAS X. BEECHER.

Son of DR.. LYMAN Beecher of Litch-
field. and a Brother of Henry Ward
Reecher-A Sister Dies Also in Hart
ford.
Elmira. N. ", March 14.-The Rev.
Thomas Kennicut Beecher, brother
of the late Henry Ward Beecher, re-
Gently stricken with paralysis, died mere
to-day.
He was born in Litchfield in 1874 he
graduated at Illinois and was success
lively a principal Of schools at Phlladel-
phia and Hartford. He was pastor OF
the New England Congregational
church, Brooklyn, and later OF the IN
dependent Congregational church at
Elmira. During the civil war he was
chaplain of the One Hundred and For
ty-first regiment and later was chaplain
of Baldwin post, G. A. X.
He was known as an infiuentlal
speaker and writer and was distir-
guished for philanthropy. He wholly
ignored sectarian feeling, and sought
to promote a fraternal spirit among
the various Christian denominations.
Since his residence in Elmira he mas
devoted himself entirely to the duties
of righteousness and religion In that
city and immediate vicinity. For many
years he edited a weekly Miscellany
first in the Elmira Advertiser" and
afterward in the Gazette, discussing
as they came up all the current ques-
lions of the day Among these, in 1874,
were a series of papers in which he took
the ground that the people of the
JT,;taJ navpr had hppu and
were not at the time in favor or uni
versal suffrage. He has lectured In the
principal cities of the United states,
and against his wishes and counsel he
has been nominated for political office,
by the greenback, the democratic, the
prohibition and republican parties,
but has never been elected to any Of
flee.
