In beginning the program of the af-
ternoon Mrs. Sears presented the club,
on behalf of her department, with Il
beautiful water color of American
beauties, the work of Mrs. G. T..
Schoenhut. The clubs rooms are be-
ing furnished with pictures, each de-
partment contributing one. The first
paper of the afternoon was by Mrs.
VIII Wallace on THE Cloisonne Ware.
Mrs. Wallace told of the celebrated
ware of China, explained the process
of its manufacture and the gradual
development of the processes. The
ware is one of the most ancient known
its origin dating back to the sixteenth
century. Mrs Wallaces paper was
greatly enjoyed.
The second paper was by Mrs.
Schoenhut, who told entertainngly OF
the Rookwood pottery, its origin IN
the city of Cincinnati, where the pot
terry Is sill located. Most potteries
aimed at cheapness, after securing q
general advertisement of their ware,
but the lockwood people held to the
theory of making it more beautiful,
and perfecting its processes from year
to year.
the principal paper of the afternoon on
Original Rugs She told Of the his
tory of the rugs and how sacred they
were in Asiatic countries. They are
always woven to display some theme,
family tradition, or beautiful scene.
Many show the births in family;
others the deaths. Others are prayer
rugs, on which to kneel while in SOL
emn devotion. The tree Of life IS
another favorite design: animal fig
tres are often portrayed; the chase,
scenes In nature and many others. The
Orientals 10 only hand work in MAX
ing their rugs, which are noted for
their fast colors. In many instances
the designs are set off with precious
stones In dyeing vegetable colors are
used, and they are never known to fade.

TROUBLE WITH BOYS.
Lads Wilfully Visit School Buildings
in Violation of instructions.

Since the annual exhibits of school
work, in the different buildings OF the
city, the teachers have had consider
able difficulty because of visits from
school children in the evening. in vio-
lation of instructions given by all teach
ers ito their pupils. The idea in ask
ing the pupils to visit the exhibits only
in the afternoon is to preserve room for
the patrons of the wards in the even
ing With several hundred children
crowding around the exhibits it would
he impossible to accommodate the par
ents, and for that reason the young
sters were requested not to come in the
evening.
on the evening of tine first exhibit
some little trouble was had at the First
ward, but after a statement of the case
in the newspapers and reiteration
on the part of the teachers, It was
that the children would be re-
strained by their parents. Such, now
ever, does not appear to be the case, and
Wednesday evening, at the Rogers
school, four or five good-sized boys
from another building were present,
with the intention of remaining. SUI
perintendent Crane asked them kindly
to leave the building, and incidentally
why they had come, when they knew
their visit to be contrary to dnstruc-
tions. One of the smartest of the
YOUNGSTERS replied that they came 10
show the teachers they COULD The re-
suit was that he was picked up and
placed outside the building. In retail
alton he made a hard snow ball. threw
it thru the doorway, and struck lady
visitor in the head. The teachers IN
the different buildings are not looking
for trouble with school children, nedth-
er is the superintendent. but this rule,
while the exhibits are DIN progress, VIII
be observed. With the proper cooper
alton of the parents 1t is Thought that
no further trouL4e will be had during
the remainder of the exhibits.
The attendance at the Rogers build
ing Wednesday evening, while large,
was not as satisfactory as would have
been the case had the weather been
more favorable.

SUITS CUT FROM ENDS.
Great Sale at the Hirsh Stores,

Great Sale at the Hirsh Stores.
 To the casual observer. the announce ment of a sale of suits cut from ends" does not seem to be especially attract i've. But to those who are posted the words are significant and important. And the posted ones can be found not only in stores, shops and factories, but also among all the professions herea- bouts. There are thousands of people in this town, as well as neighboring ones, who pay respectful attention to anything and everything which eman- ates from the Hirsh stores.
 When an extraordinary announce mant is made. which, on the face of it, looks alluring and inviting, the reader is apt to weigh carefully all the pros and cons. And if there is not character and reputation to back the statement, the result is not very startling. Our great Lincoln said: You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time. but you cannot fool all the people all of the time" The name and fame of the Hirsh stores are too well established to ques- tion for moment their sincerity or liberality. Now, what are the "suits cut from ends?" They are made from tweeds, cassimere, worsteds, and blue serges. These suits have been cut and made up in the famous ''Hirsh way,'' with hand padded shoulders and col lars, haircloth fronts, and pure woolen serge Things. MT. Hirsh truthfully says, If suits were ever worth from $15 to SIS these certainly are" Each suit is of medium weight, and can be worn in any season. All trousers are equipped with the Hand-E-C Catch draw .er supporters.
 If you don't know what the Hand-E- Catch is you are 'back number and ought to find out at once.
 You can get your pick of these splen- did suits to-day for $7.9O.
 Other bargains are, Summer trousers investment at a rato of 100 per cent Homespun fiannels, crashes, etc, at $1.5O, etc, etc.

IN NORWICH COURT.
Baseball Player Fined.

Norwich, Aug. 26. Captain Keans of the New London baseball team was present in the city court to-day to an swer charges of assault on Umpire Durnbaugh, and for breach of the peace. He had pleaded guilty on both complaints and was fined $25 and costs, which he paid.
 Judge Lucius Brown read a short lecture to the ball players in which he said that the public attends ball games to see the sport, and not to be witnesses of disagreeable squabble among men on the field. He said 1t was a duty owed by ball players to patrons that they preserve correct deneanor, and it is no part of the game to allow their temper to run away with their self respect.
