A NEW HAVEN MAN
Was One of the Founders of the Meri-
 den Bronze Company.

Was One of the Founders of the Meri-
 den Bronze Company.
 l The Meriden Bronze company, which has been put into the hands of re- ceiver, as told in our court news this morning, was organized in 1882 by Au- gustus H. Jones of Meriden and the late Heman B. Allen of New Haven, who for many years resided on Church street, this city, near the residence which was formerly for years the home of the celebrated Rev. Dr. Leonard Ba- con. MT. Allen was for years prom inent dry goods merchant of New Ha- ven. He was very highly esteemed. He | was a brother of the late Charles w. | Allen, who was for years chief of New | Haven's fire department and afterward was chief of police of New Haven. The i company was originally organized as the Foster Hardware company and was capitalized at $45 900. A year later bus mess increased and brass foundry was added to the plant. Ornamental brass goods were manufactured and soon be- came the principal product of the young
 
 market was the Meriden lamp, which found a ready sale everywhere. t
 s. H. Foster sold his interest to Will liam E. Gard in 1884. This year the firm changed it's name to the Meriden Bronze company, with A. H. Jones as president. Messrs. Gard and Jones put forth every effort to increase the com pany's lamp trade and in 1886 the firm was doing an extensive brass trade; ta- bles, screens, beds and several other ar ticles were added to the industry. It was necessary to enlarge the factory buildings.
 Ten years ago the Meriden lamp was invented, and because of its late design. with a perfected center draught, and the steadiness of the light, it soon was one of the best lamps on the market.
 Gas and electric fixtures were put on the market some years ago and they were we'll known to the trade. Some pretty designs were manufactured.
 Up to a few months ago the compa- ny employed 150 men, many of them being skilled workmen and paid good wages.
 The concern a year ago was capital ized at $65, ,000 A New York office was carried on for several years at 30 Park place. The officers were:
 President-Augustus H. Jones.
 Secretary and treasurer-William E. Gard. Superintendent-D. A. Logan. Directors-A. H. Jones, w. E. Gard, | w. H. Lyon, John w. Coe, H. Wales Lines.

 Miller in the great new production "The
 Only Way" a dramatization of Charles 1 Dickens famous story "A Tale of Two 1 Cities" Both star and play scored a most signal triumph in New York. First at the Herald Square theater, which they were forced to vacate at- ter a run of six weeks on account of a prior contract, and subsequently at the
 Garden theater, where they had to close their engagement after an equally long | run on account of the previously ar
 ranged engagement of Richard Mans
 field, presenting the curious spectacle | of manager who controls a half dozen | or more metropolitan theaters. being | forced to close the run of. one of his biggest successes through inability to secure a suitable theater.
 Of the many dramatizations that
 have been made of Dickens great nov el ''The Only Way" is said to be the best and most satisfactory No bet ter evidence of this need be adduced llleu lHe ldcl IIldL II IdS pIONcu lllc dramatic sensation of the year in this country as it was of last season in
 London. The production is a magnifi-
 cent one scenically and will be pre-
 sented the same here in every respect
 as in New York. The cast is a very
 long one and includes such sterling
 actors as J. H. Stoddart, D. H. Har-
 kins, Byron Douglas, Joseph Brennan,

 The last and only recital in Connecti- cut will be given at the Hyperion on
 Thursday, May 10, at D. m., by the
 great pianist, Paderewski It is witch cry that Paderewski practises; those who feel it do not want it explained, and
 those who feel it not will not under stand the explanation, no matter how plainly it is set down. Paderewski can simply do what he wishes with his lis-
 teners They may be grounded and buttressed in knowledge, or simple, open minded witlings; men wise in their own conceptions of the composers message, or innocent of all his purposes, yet shall they not escape the puissant charm of his playing. The secret? It lies with those glissando effects which the magi- | cal touch of Paderewski imbues with life, but which without that touch are worse than lifeless-hollow mockeries of the noises that come from music mak- ing machines. The prices for this reel tai have been fixed at $200, $1.50, $1OO. | The advance sale of seats opens Thurs day, May 3. at a. m. Not more than ten seats will be sold to any one person.

New York June 22.-Lemuel e. Quigg.
the New York member of the Committee
on Resolutions of the Republican National
Convention at Philadelphia in reference
to statement of Gen. G. H. GrosVenor
of Ohio which was called to his atfen-
tion in effect that certain language had
been omitted from the final draft of the
platform. after it had been agreed upon
by the subcommittee, of which Mr.. Quigg
was secretary, tonight declared Mr..
Grosvenor's statement untrue.
One of the alleged omissions referred to
by Mr.. Grosvenor contained the state
ment:
That Congress has fun legislative power
over territory belonging to the United
States. subject only to the fundamental
safeguards of liberty justice and personal
rights"
As the reasons for leaving this proposed
plank out of the platform Mr. Qugg says:
'The committee considered that mas
much as this question IS now before the
United States Supreme Court is was
neither advisable nor necessary to run the
risk of getting our platform into a contro-
versy with the Supreme Court. But we
did say that it was the duty of the govern
ment TO put down armed insurrection in
the Philippines, and that to the people
of all the territories acquired by war, the
largest measures of self-government con-
slstent with their welfare and our duty
shall be secured to them by the law
This plank was fully debated and de-
liberately and unanimously agreed upon
and no man has any authority to say that
one word was put in or left out surrepti-
