MIR. NEWMAN'S GENEROSITY.

Treated His Five Hundred Employees
to Ice Cream and Cake Yesterday.
]. Newman, the head of the firm of
I. Newman & Sons, the well known
corset manufacturers Of this city, ac-
cording to his old custom, yesterday al
ternoon gave to his employees in his
factory all the ice cream and cake they
could eat This is a custom that Mr..
Newman has followed for the last
twenty years and it is one that shows
a good deal of kind feeling on the part
of the genial employer. There are
about 500 men and women employed at
the factory on Oak street and on a hot
day about this time each year MI
Newman opens the Festivities" with
a little speech in which he announces
that to-day is ice cream day." etc.
Yesterday he spoke to them in an en-
couraging manner and hoped they were
happy and wanted them to be friends
togt ther.
He said he couldn't get along with
out them and that they couldn't get
along without him so the best way to
do would be to have employe and en-
ployer work in an harmonious manner
for one good cause. The men and wo-
men listened with interest and when
Mr.. Newman finished his speech he
was enthusiastically applauded.
Then the ice cream and cake were
distributed among the different de-
partments and recess for about an
hour was taken

large tracts of land at Morris Cove IT

900 in the deal which Is the most inn
portant that has been made along the
east shore in a long time. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Leigh will boom the
place and sell off his newly acquired
land in building lots.
Included in the deal is a stretch of
shore property extending about 300 feet
This is located near the pleasant sum-
ner residence of Morris Steinert. The
remainder of the property purchased
by Mr. Leigh is fifteen acres of wooded
land looking toward Short Beach, The
land is delightfully."- situated, and real
estate dealers say that Mr.. Leigh has
made a splendid investment.
There are number OF knobs cover
ed with cedar trees and the property
contains a large number of fine sites for
summer residences, as well as for peo-
pie who want to live there all the year
round The fact that city water can
be had, as well as the prospect of a
five cent fare are other reasons which

VACATION HOUSE. MADISON


The young ladies of the Vacation
house entertained the boys from the
IL. M. C. A. encampment on Turks Is
land, Friday afternoon. July 49, The
programme prepared for the occasion
proved a highly satisfactory one 1t
consisted principally of trials of skill
in which the boys took sides against
| the young ladies.
The first game, "faba baga,' or bean
bag, was participated in by all. The
| winner was Master Wilson Hume of
| New Haven, who succeeded in putting
five out of the seven bean bags through
| the hole, the distance being twenty
| five feet.
Five boys and five young ladies COM
peted in the potato race that followed.
| This match proved very exciting and
was won by Master Lem Eillman of
Mount Vernon, N. Y, whose record
was A seconds.
| The peanut race was won by Master
Willie Whittemore of Willimantic, and
the boys also bore off the trophy in the
| last contest, a relay race.
The games were followed by refresh
| ments. Then the prizes were distrib-
uted by Miss Blood, the matron of the
Vacation house Most Of them were
clever jokes, giving rise to much merri-
ment.
The good time closed with instrument
tai music by Miss Alice Hillman, and
several choruses in which all Joined
The boys showed their appreciation
of the entertainment rendered them by
some hearty "yels,' one small boy even
proposing three cheers for the re-
freshments!"

One of C. A. Moeller's Horses Took a
Dash Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
there was an exciting runaway
through Temple street. One of c. A.
Moeller's horses attached to a covered
beer wagon was standing in front of
Mr.. Moellers' office on Temple street.
The driver was just alighting from the
wagon when the horse started to run.
The driver was thrown to the ground
and the horse dashed out Temple
street AT Chapel street the runaway
ran into a team of horses belonging to
c. w. Blakeslee & Son, knocking both
horses of the team down. The run
away was stopped just at the entrance
of the green from Chapel street.
1t was at first thought that the
horses which had been knocked down
were badly injured, btu later it was
seen that they were not hurt except for
some bad cuts
The driver who had been thrown
when the horse started to run received
a bad bruise on the leg but was not
seriously hurt

made an investment that will pay him
we'll.
Mr.. Leigh was the first investor to
see the possibilities of investments in
real estate at Cosey Beach. A tract
of land at that place sold off in build
ing lots last summer netted a profit to
Mr. Leigh and others of $4,000. The
friends of the genial twin believe that
he has struck a still bigger bonanza in
his Morris Cove deal. The property
was purchased from various parties
and the negotiations were conducted
very quietly.

in the afternoon January touched 1872, or

Life is sweet, and "while there's life
there's hope" Probably in no other
community outside of Massachusetts,
or Boston, would this super-refined idea
of humanity prevail that it is better to
hang O condemned man at once than to
defer the killing to time when all rea-
sonable opportunity for correcting the
errors to which the human mind is
prone or human evidence is exposed
has passed, and all rational means for
asking and granting clemency have
been employed.
This dilletante of humanitarian is
further shocked by the circumstance
that the condemned person is for three
months before the time for the execu-
ton of his sentence kept in solitary
confinement, "and denied sight of and
communion with the world, his friends
and relatives"-which is not quite the
case, however,-an asks, "Why? A
voice from Vermont has already an
swered, In order that he may better
prepare for death The civilized
world would like more adequate re-
ply" The answer seems to be ade-
quate enough. The "civilized world
in this case" seems to be bounded by
