GOLDEN WEDDING OF MR.. AND
MRS. IEVINGS ABBOTT.

The golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
Leyings Abbott was celebrated at their
home in Middlebury November 49, 1902.
Their two sons and ten grandchildren
were present, besides many friends
from out of town, among whom were
Mr.. and Mrs. A. T.. Abbott Of Water
bury, whose wedding and golden we'd
ding were attended by both Mr.. and
Mrs. Abbott. The Rev. S. K. Smith Of
Morlboro, Mass, former pastor, made
the occasion very enjoyable by his
presence and address to the gathering.
Many congratulations We're extended to
the bride and groom of fifty years for
having reached the event so few live
to enjoy. Mr.. Abbott was the son of
the Rev. Ira and Lydia (Wooding) ABB
bolt, and was born in Middlebury No
vember q, 1882 AT the age Of five
years he commenced itinerating with
his father, receiving his education at
the academies in Fair Haven and
Easton and in the old academy in Wa
terbury, which stood where the City
Hall now stands, and taught by Mr..
Fabrique and T. I. briggs. In April.
+ 1852, he came to Middlebury and built
what has been known ever since as
abbott Mills" bringing his young
wife and commencing housekeeping in
| the house where he was born, near the
Break Neck school house. Mr..
| Abbott has always taken an ac-
tice interest in town affairs, serving as
assessor several years, and as select
man some twenty years most Of the
time as chairman of the board; repre-
senting the town in the Legislature of
1873 and 1874, the last year being the
last session ever held in New Haven.
Mr. Abbott has always been active in
the temporal affairs of the church Of
his choice, never tagging behind in any
financial crisis In 1883 his son Jared
was taken into partnership and a -four
ishing business has grown up under
their care. Mrs Abbott was the
daughter of John A. and Grace (Smith)
Coe, and was born June III 1884, in
Bethany, now Beacon Falls. When
seven years old her father moved to-
Derby, where she lived until sixteen
years old, when she came to Water
bury, living with her brother, the late
Isaac Coe, and finishing her education
at the High school,. Two sons have
! been born to Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott, and
the glowing tribute paid by them to
their mother in their remarks on the
occasion, in regard to her early reli-
gious training of them, were perhaps
as we'll said while living, as after they
are dead. .S
An original poem by the Rev. H. S.
Griggs was read, the beautiful senti-
ments of which were greatly apprecia-
ted by all. The only thing to mar the
festivities was the absence of the Rev.
B. F. Abbott, the only representative
of the house of Ira, missing. His wife
was ill with typhoid fever.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable
time, and all present wished the bride
and groom Of fifty years beautiful
golden sunset. .a..

De- EMBER 22 1902

Saturday night, December 81. The piece
has achieved an enviable record, for it
is one % the most amusing and enter
tanning comedies on an American theme
ever written. In New York it was a
substantial and instantaneous hit at the
Garrick theate2 and ran for months to
corwded houses. 1t tells an entertain
ing story of life in little town in the
western part of New York and abounds
in good, wholesome fun and humorous
incidents. From the rise to the final
fall of the curtain there is said to be
not a dull moment in it.

Very unusual interest is manifested
in the engagement of Charles Froh-
mans Empire Theater company at the
Hyperion theater Christmas night, when
they will present H. V. Esmonds new
ulav, THE Wilderness The company
Is again headed by Charles Richman
and Margaret Anglin, whose SPLENDID
abilities and genuine art were shown so
magnificently in Mrs. Danes Defence
last season. In the new play these two
favorites will be seen n a much more
favored aspect, for instead of typifying
antagonistic social forces, they are the
lovers in the play. Mr. RiChman as Sir
Harry Milanor has a role which shows
the splendid manlincss, dignitied mien
and strong reserve force which charac-
terize this handsome young actors own
personality. Miss Anglin will again pOr-
tray a. psychological study in feminine
character, for which she is eminently
fitted.
The story of the play is that of a
young girl who has been trained by an
ambitious scheming mother to look for
ward to a marriage for money and So
cial position as the principal purpose of
a. Young woman's life. She believes her
self in love with young man but mar
ries a baronet for his title wealth. Her
husband is a splendid man and she fin
ally falls in love with him. The story
| is told with extreme ingenuity and with
more than ordinary skill and charm
| facts which may be readily accepted
when one recalls the very delightful
| ouality of this authors work in his
| comedy when We Were TwentyOne."
The sales of seats for the engagement
opens this morning Prices $1.5O, 81, 75c.

Avery and Hart, Americas foremost
colored comedians, will be seen in Will
liams and Walkers merriest Of musical
comedies, The Sons of Ham, at the
Grand opera house tonight and two
following nights with matinee Wednes-
day. The piece furnishes radical de-
parture from anything ever before at
tempted in the way of an entertainment
by O colored troupe. AS laugh pro-
Queer the farce SURPRISES anything of
its kind, it fairly scintillates with wit
and humor and one lively mirth proVok-
ing situation, follows another with
lightning like rapidly. Avery and Hart
are natulaly the bright stars of the
company and their comedy is of the
side-splitting order, introducing much
that is novel in the way Of drolleTy and
song. The company is a large and ex-
| cellent one comprising the pick of the
colored vaudeville artists in the coun-
try. Singing and dancing, as none but
| their race can do, is interspersed
throughout the performance. Costumes
and scenery and stage effects are elabo-
rate in every detail, bewildering and
| dazzling.
