1aiTHENEWTOWN FAIR. 81
4 SENSIBLE AND WORTHY APPEAL.

! ~ = q - J. l'teJ:f
! Shall it 60 forward, or backward:
| That depends upon the people of New;
town, largely. 1t is here, it is ours.
With the help of enterprising people
OF neighboring towns we have made it
what tits; and whatever benefits have
been derived from it, public or private,
we have enjoyed. If it continues to
grow, and attain to greater success,
the honor and the good of it belong to
us. And if it begins from this time to
make retrograde movement, we, the
people of this community, must suffer
the loss and shame, as the result,
L am not saying that the last fair
was a failure, or that there is a proba-
bility that the Society will get into
financial straits and give up. But the
fact is that after five years of steady
growth and prosperity we have come
to season of misfortune. The wealth
er, which is one of the chief elements
or success in any fair, was unfavorable.
The Board of Directors find that in
order to get out whole they must scale
down the premiums to 60 per cent of
the amount offered in the list. This
no one wishes to do, but there is no
other way so far as they are concerned,
to adjust the matter. They would not
be Justified IN borrowing money and
increasing the debt of the corporation.
No stakeholder has ever received anv
dividend on the money invested-no
one expects to receive any. There is
no money in it. The management re-
ceives no compensation for labor and
care in running the fair. The benefit
is the general public good, the enter
prise, and the fun there is in doing it.
1t means cooperation, public spirit,
mutual improvement, social and in
dustrial education. The farmer who
does his best to raise something to ex-
hibit at the fair is wiser and better
for it. knowledge is power, and there
is no teacher like that of experience.
Association and comparison of inter-
ests and efforts in every line of bust
ness pays, even though it may cost
something. 1t is not the cash received
in premiums which indicates the sue
cess of the exhibitor, but the attain
ment Of excellence for which the
money is offered. 1t is not what we
get out of it, but that which we put
INTO 1T which makes the fair valuable
10 us; whether as Individuals, or as a
Now appeal to all Newtown people
20 help out the directors, and keep up
5he high standard of the fair to all
by giving in all their cash
premiums this year. 1t is small
natter of 25 or so cents, perhaps, each,

which at this time will go long way

Treasure Hidden in Ho uIn.

False teeth are occasionally used for secretive purposes. There is Chi cago man who carries 20 diamonds of rare value and beauty in his mouth; {; but these are set in the roof plates. quite out of sight. and to preserve them the owner refrains from taking hot food or strong beverages. There is some romance attached to the jewels, and the wearer is anxious to keep them out of the sight of his relatives. A will in set of artificial teeth is some what unusual, yet an eccentric old lad y boasts a roof plate which consists of two thin sheets of gold, between which d copy of her will in miniature is in- serted. In like manner chemical dyer preserves a prescription, which he de- clares he would not give up for untold wealth.

WITH THE HYPNOTISTS.

= The young man who was put to bieep in the window of Moriarty' S furniture store on East Main street yesterday morning is still there ana sound asleep. He was placed in this hypnotic trance by Professor Earns worth who is now giving performances with his wife in Polls theater. This young man will be left in his present condition until this evening when he will be carried to the stage of the Theater and there awakened. The en- fertainment in the theater last night attracted q pretty good audience and there were many laughable situations and one or two good tests were given by the hypnotists. Some of the Wa 1erbury boys who were on the stage amused the people with the numerous pranks they Were made to play while under the influence of the professor The cataleptic test is of course one of the best features of this class Of en- tertainment and it was well done last evening. It consists of placing a young man in q rigid condition and then placing his head on the back of one chair and his feet on another. A heavy man is then allowed to step on the body and the subject shows no sign of the strain that should be there. Tonight the performance will be re peated with several other new features
 "A CAVALIER OF FRANCE.'
 The beautiful romantic play, "A Cavalier of France" will be present. ed at Polls on Monday evening, and owing to the peculiar fascination that attaches to this class of plays it will no doubt attract many of our show goers. There is always q degree of interest in following the adventures of c1ivalrous hero who does doughty deeds for the sake of honor and q lady fair, and ever since 'The Prisoner of Zenda," ''The Dukes Motto,'' 'Under the Red Robe.'' ''The Three Guards men" and others of the romantic type became popular an individual interest attaches to each one of the class. "A Cavalier of France" which was first played by Miss James, tells story of the corrupt court of Henry III. of France and fairly teens with eXcit- ing situa tions. The sale of seats opens tomorrow at 25, 35, 50, 70 cents and S1.

MAID CAUGHT A BURGLAR.
How a Discreet New York Servant
 AdrOitly Brought the Police .. -T--- Patrol.

A rather curious method of burglar catching was resorted to by an in genfous maid servant recently in New York. While in pursuit of her house hold duties the maid noticed mans foot inside the clothes closet. She did not scream, neither did she jump at the door, nor shut it with bang: instead she took broom and began to sweep that corner of the room near the closet. Her approach was gradual, and the sweeping was done so naturally that it would not have aroused the most suspicious burglar. At last the broom brushed the door gently, but hard enough to close it to the fraction of an inch. With five or six more gentle sweeps that closet door was shut and almost latched, which she at length sue ceeded in doing by gently pressing her arm against it.
 As the telephone in her house was so near the closet that the burglar would be able to hear her if she called for assistance, she bethought herself of another plan. In the back yard some telephone inemen were at the time making repairs on a wire that runs to another house in the block She went out and spoke to them. They promptly tapped wire. at tached testing instrument and called up one of the downtown ex-: ,hanges, which in turn called up pc fce headquarters. From there the |i III was sent to the police statipr earest the house and two policemen ere sent aronnd and got the man

. "A HOMESPUN HEART.'

A good company opened at the Jac- Ques yesterday afternoon and evening in a new pastorial play which is from the versatile pen of Hal Reid. The drama deals with scenes in Ohio and the various phases of the performance were well enacted. It is a pleasing play and the people in the cast han dled their respective parts very sue cessfully for the opening performance. It will be repeated again tonight and and there will be a matinee tomorrow afternoon which should attract a good audience. The women and children will no doubt be pleased with it for it is just such q play as will interest them on an afternoon or an evening when they can spare the time. The admission is popular.
 THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
 Another of Hal Reid's beautiful TO- mantle dramas. ''The Night Before Christmas" will be presented on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Jacques. The title tells pretty accu- rately the nature of the play, which is of a homely type that revolves around the traditions of Christmas eve. A number of little tots add pie turesQue interest to the domestic scenes, and the Boston quartet at tracts much attention to its excellent singing. ''The Night Before Christ mas'' compares well with Mir Reid's other masterly plays, Human Hearts and "A Home-spun Heart

his sixty years. He wore a black frock coat
tightly buttoned black trousers and black era
vat With a clear, ringing voice the Deputy Of
Finistere developed his theme, and spoke with
such eloquence that even the noisy Radicals and
Socialists became attentive listeners. and seemed
for the moment lost in admiration NJ de Nun
examined the bill from economic and political
point of view. and showed that the Ministry
had made serious errors in calculating the
amount Of property held by the religious asso-
Citations. NJ de Nun pointed with his right hand
toward N. Waldeck- Rousseau who was seated
on the Ministerial bench just below the ora
tors tribune, and, looking him straight in the
eye. exclaimed: The ideal Of your policy is
10 confiscate all property, public or private, for
the benefit Of social collectivsm. In 1890 the
religious associations We're denounced in the
same way from the tribune Of the Constituent
Assembly and were accused Of poisoning the
souls Of French youth and OF holding their
own property wealth that rightfuy belonged
