PATRIOTIC EXERCISES.
There Will be Big Time Here
 WashinetOn's Birthday

There Will be Big Time Here on
 Washington's Birthday.
 For a number of years the civic, pa- triotic, veteran and active military or ganizations in the city of New Haven have united with the public to celebrate the birthday of George Washington, the patriot who refused a crown and led the way to the permanent foundation of the great American nation. The year 1901 should be made especially memora- ble, not only by recognizing the 22nd day of February, but by making it's recognition so effective that it will be remembered as marking the beginning of the twentieth century,
 In preparing for this celebration the committee has planned for an elaborate entertainment. As more than two thou sand persons attend these public exer- cises, the committee has felt they were justified in engaging the Hyperion. AL though they have not yet raised sutf1- cient funds to defray the expenses nec- essarily incurred by the increase in fa- cilities and the programme, they are trusting to the patriotism and gener- osity of our citizens for support.
 Fully one-third of the audiences in the past have been children, who are receiving their first lesson in national patriotism.
 The committee therefore appeals to .JI tribute as largely as they feel able and every contribution, no matter how small, will be gratefully accepted. They may be handed to the finance commit tee, Messrs. Henry F. McCollum, Charles G. Morris, W. J. Fuller, or sent to the treasurer.

SAMPSON AND scHLEY AGAIN.

The President Nominates Them for Ad-
 yancement, the Former to Rank
 Ahead of the Latter
 Washington, Feb. 14.-The president to-day sent the following nominations to the Senate:
 < Navy-Rear admirals to be advanced in rank from the 11th day of February, 1901:
 William T. Sampson, five numbers, to take rank next after Rear Admiral John "A. Howell.
 Winfield Scott Schley, three numbers, to take rank next after Rear Admiral Sampson when advanced.
 The president sent a special message urging that the same recognition that had been given Dewey and his officers and men for services in Manila bay should be given Sampson and his men for services in and about Cuba.
 These nominations, together with the long list of other naval officers who participated in the battle of Santiago, are expected to reopen the Schley- Sampson controversy. It can be safely predicted that no action vii be taken at least on Sampson and Schley, although several of the captains, notably Clark, will be confirmed in the rank to which the president nominated them.
 The nominations were sent in to-day in answer to a Senate resolution asking for the list named by President McKin- ley shortly after the battle, which Sec- retary Long in a letter to Senator Nor gan intimated was still before the Sem ate, having never been acted upon.

THE AETNA LIFE INSURANCE
 COMPANY.

Finest Year in the History of This
 Large and Prosperous Company.
 The annual statement of the Aetna Life Insurance company, which appears in another column, showing the condi- tion of its affairs at the end of 1900, is the most gratifying report that this large and successful Hartford institu- tion has made during the whole of it's career. There were gains in all depart" ments. In premium income there was a gain of $1 133, ,973.05, the total income reaching the very large sum of s10611,- 045.16 The gain in the number of pol icy holders was 25,148, and the gain in life, term, endowment, accident and health insurance in force aggregated the immense sum of $4S, 45O176 The in- crease in assets was $3,241, ,7S6.11. The companys outstanding insurance at the beginning of the new century was $192, ,592S16 of life term. and endow- ment insurance, and $160,114,620 of acci- dent and health insurance.
 l.. In addition to the reserve fund re- l'quired by the state laws, the Aetna car- ries a special reserve fund of $1, ,934 900 for the greater security of policyhold- CTS.
 | These surprising results are due to the strong, steady, conservative policy of the Aetna Lifes management. To every gain that this great company has made, it is justly entitled; and, truly may it be recorded, that It's position has been honoraby and faithfully won.

BARE FEET AND STRAW HAT. Andrew Fitzpatrick Appeared Last

Night With Midsummer Garb.
 Andrew Fitzpatrick, moulder, living at 496 Chapel street, wandered from his town fireside" last evening in negllgee costume He was found at the corner of Liberty and Cedar streets late last night by Philip Cannon, of 442 Wash ington avenue, and John Winn, of oScc Washington avenue, in his bare feet and wearing straw hat. This costume was wholly out of order in such weather as New Haven has been having of late, and so he was arrested and taken to the Howard avenue police station. The Srrest was made by Sergeant Williams. Fitzpatrick had been drinking, and 1t was thought he was out of his head or else he was too drunk to care what he dressed up in, so he put on any old thing that came his way. Strange to say, his feet were not frozen at all and he said that he felt quite comfortable when he reached the lookup.
 Fitzpatrick is employed in Sargents factory and is about twenty-five years of age.

Is Charles DenRison Kellogg, Who Ap-
 pears at the Hyperion To-Nlgnt'
 A representative of the Journal ana Courier was entertained last evening in a most delightful fashion by Charles Dennison Kellogg, the famous plro warbler at his room at the New Haven house The entertainment was Tn the shape of an interview with that won derful man, for wonderful he certainly Is.
 MT. Kellogg arrived in this city early last evening and about o'clock was seen in his quarters, and gave most entertaining account of his study of the different bird sounds which he repro duces to such a marvellous degree or perfection. MT. Kellogg talked TOT over an hour of the exciting experiences ne has had in following birds, and of his great love for the winged creatures, and of which he will speak this evening and tomorrow afternoon During the course of the hour MT. Kellogg demon strated to the visitor, to his complete satisfaction, that the reports of his warbling from all parts of the world, telling of his wonderful accomplish ments in that line, were really not half deserving enough, for there are no words that can express with Justice, the complete control which he has over the muscles of the mouth and throat that have made him famous the world over He reproduced sounds last night of different birds so exactly that one would almost see the bird itself in the room, and he also demonstrated what a remarkable range his voice has. He can sing with perfect distinctness twelve and one half octaves, and this not In falsetto voice. He can reach high "G' above high e." and go down as low as pedal "C."
 Some of the experiences that MT Kellogg told of last night in his travels throughout the country, photcgraphins and studying birds of all kinds, were most interesting. One of the most in 1 teresting of them was his experience 1T Salem, N. J., one night when he was getting the only photograph ever made of the great crow roost in that town.
 This place can boast of the biggest roost in the world, as each night over 1 1,O0OOO0. of the crows swarm there ant make the fifty acres of woods one large black mass.
 The photographs that MT. Kelloge took of this wonderful sight are the only successful ones ever made of this roost, while the crows are fin attend ance." These pictures, as we'll as scores of others, will be shown on the canvass tonight in the lecture that follows the recital.
 The audiences at both performances will doubtless be very large as tht ! seats are going fast.
 I MT. Kellogg is a very pleasant mar to meet, and talk with, and his faculty of keeping an audience thoroughly in i terested Is remarkable

THE RUSH TO ARMSTRONG & cos

THE RUSH TO ARMSTRONG & CO.'S
 It is stated on competent authority that the rush of business at the H. B.. Armstrong & Co. furniture house since Monday has broken all records in sales at this famous house. The company is clearing away it's stock below cost, (which is, of course, having it's effect ana the transition from the furniture business to complete readiness for the new folding box enterprise will soon be accomplished. The rate at which yes- terday the big vans were bustling away loads of carpets, furniture, upholstery and wall paper, of which latter the com- pany had laid in large stores for the spring trade, argues that many people will probably find themselves late in attending the sale. The stores are busy places.
 This retiring sale of H. B. Armstrong a Co marks the passing of one of New Haven's strongest and most noted busi- ness houses for years past.

DEATH OF EDWIN BARNETT.

Another aged member of one of the old-time hide and leather-dealing fam ilies on George street passed away yes- terday.

 Mr. Barnett belonged to one of the old families of New Haven, family which for a long period of years has been con- nected with the leather business, bus mess which in earlier years was one of the prominent industries of the city He was seventyseven years old His death was very similar to that of Thomas w. Ensign, a well known leather merchant who died of heart trouble last Saturday,
 aged eighty-three years
 His three brothers, Jeremiah, who died about three years ago; Albert E.. and Walter, inherited leather interests from their father, and the two latter are still engaged in the business, while Edwin, who had been retired for sev- eral years, retained some interest in the business until his death. His wife, who survives him, was Mary Parkhurst, and a sister, Mre. Leete, now resides in Mia mi, Florida. An adopted daughter Z, married to Henry c. Booth, of the
 Booth Meat company in this city. She is now temporarily in Interlaken, Flor | ida.
 MT. Barnett was born and reared in New Haven and was one of it's oldest
 and most respected residents. He was
 a frequent worshiper at the Plymouth 1 Congregational church. The funeral will be from his late residence Saturday : afternoon at half-past two o'clock and
 Rev. pr. McLane will conduct the ser vices.

 Over Domestic Troubles.

over Domestic ITUUUIe5'
 Mrs. Charles Levett, young married woman who resides with her nuspano at 6S Liberty street, attempted to com init suicide about 9:30 last night by tax ing carbolic acid at her home. It seems that the Levetts have been married only a short time. and last evening they had some domestic trouble. This so preyed upon Mrs. Levetts mind that she procured some carbolic acid and took large dose. Dr. Barnes was called to attend her, and after using a stomach pump the doctor was of the opinion late last night that she would recover.
