HAGUE, THE MINSTREL.
Death of Man Who Took Abroad First
 Colored Minstrel Troupe.

Winsted, March 24.-News has been received here by old acquaintances of the death in England some months ago of sam Hague, the famous minstrel whose career began in Winsted. When here Hague was an illiterate cutler, who had come to America with his lit- tie son after having been deserted by and divorced from his wife, who be- fore her marriage had been a concert hall dancer. While in Winsted he worked at forging blades for the Elm pire Knife company. He also .str- ried a Winsted girl, Ellen Spencer. Through association with q brother of his wife in a patent for making the hole for the handle in the old fash toned planters hoes, then manufac. tured here, he made little money and then went to Syracuse, N. Y., and opened a saloon. He there originated the idea of taking a troupe of real southern darkies to England ill q min strel show. He found them on the streets of Syracuse, but they served the purpose and he held the boards of St James hall in Liverpool for years and became very wealthy. He also made two trips to America with them and on these occasions he used to visit Winsted resplendent in diamonds that dazzled his former shopmates.
 In later years, however, his fortune vanished. He played the races heav- fly and lost. His wife died and he took another, like the first, from the concert hall His old friends here had lately heard from him only i'll a roundabout way, but he is believed to have died i'll poverty.

REV J. c. MURRAY
Made His First Appearance as Preach
 CT in His Native City.


 Rev John G. Murray of Hartford preached to a congregation at St Fran cis Xayier's church last evening that filled the edldce. His subject was the Holy Name of Jesus," and the mem- hers of the Holy Name society of the different parishes of the city attended in a body. It was Father Murrays nrst appearance as a preacher in his native city, and he was listened to with much interest and especially by the members of St Francls Xavier's parish, as 1t is his own parish where he was an attendant before he went abroad to study for the priesthood five years ago. Although he wasn't at his best last evening, he sustained the reputation Which he established at Holy Cross college and at the American college in Louyain as a speaker of ability. He Is possessed of a resonant, musical voice of marked distinctness and of great range, capable of holding the in- terest of it's hearers.
 Father Murray i'll the course of his sermon pictured in detail what the name of Jesus represented to a Chris tlan. Above all, it is that of Saviour or mankind. He endeavored to show that Christ crucified deserved all the iove that man could bestow, and that the name of Jesus should always and on all occasions command and in spire the reverence of every Christian. step by step he recalled Christ's cruel IlXlon and his death on the cross at oalVary and explained that the suf- ferance of all the indignities and tor ture and finally the ignominious death or the Son of Man were all due to the one great desire of Christ, that he might be called Jesus, Saviour of the world. And, therefore, unlike his per secutors of old, who spat on him and 1eered at his holy name Christians of to-day should revere and love the name which implied and meant so much to them.
 A special musical program had been prepared by Miss May E. German. di- rectress of the choir, which was heard 10 good effect. There was also num- Der Of the clergy of the city in attend aDce

MUSKRAT HUNTING.
freshets Furnish Sport Along the
 Connecticut and Tributaries

Connecticut and Tributaries.
 Hartford, March 24.--The disap- pearance of the ice from the Connec- ticut river and from the streams which run into 1t, and the subseuuent fre- quent freshets, have made muskrat hunting popular and profitable this spring Driven from their houses by the rise in the waters, the small ami. lnals nave been compelled to seek the rlVer and stream banks Along these panKs the hunters and their dogs have been out in full force and the result nas been an unusually large harvest oh musKrat skins. Small-bore rifles are used by the most skillful hunters. aithough many rely on the shotgun. AS the hunter walks along the bank tue THUS take 10 the water and as they swim away they are shot. The dog tnen brings them ashore. The cove aL Wethersfield, Keeney's Cove at ulastonpury, and the long oyerfowed stretches of~ meadow from Windsor to say prooK are favorite places for musk rat nuntlng. In the cove at Wethers- nelu single hunter has thus far dur ing tue season killed over thirty musk rats ana large bags are reported from heeneys Cove, from the Middletown meadows, Essex and Lyme meadows. rom Pratt's Cove at Deep River Sal mon River Cove and Chapman's Cove at East Haddam, from Whalebone Creek and Selden's Cove at Hadlyme. from Hamburg Cove and from Lords Cove at Lyme.
 The skin of the muskrat is covered with a thick and soft fur, and has a value for the cheaper grades of fur garments. It is usually, like the skin of the skunk, sold under another name.

BALL POSTPONED.
K. of C.. Set Back The First Date Se-
 1aotad

The committee having in charge the arrangements for the grand union K. of c. ball that was to have been held in the City hall on Tuesday evening, April 3, have decided to postpone the date owing to the prevalence of the smallpox. It was thought that the attendance might suffer because of the present state of the public mind, and as it is intended to make this ball the greatest social event in the history of the city and elaborate preparations have been made to that end, this con- clusion was reached, that it would be the best course to postpone the date. When new date shall have been de cided upon, announcement will be made and all tickets now sold will, of course, be redeemed.
