MRS. FISH, SOCIETY LEADER.

The social elect have practically all deserted
the hot city for the cooling breezes of Newport
There Mrs Stuyvesant Fish is as usual the lead
ing parsonage. Let her career be viewed from
any standpoint, she appears the most daring and
successful social being of her day and generation.
Mrs. Fish has given more novel, not to say
bizarre, social functions" than any other per-
son in or beyond the pale of the socalled 400"
She is the original entertainer, par excel
lence, of the Newport summer colony. Whatever
she does makes that jaded coterie of multi-mil-
lonaire families sit up and display decided inter-
est. Incidentally the same effect is noticeable
pretty generally throughout the country.

ing Gospel with Aid Of MegaphOne-What New Workers Are
Drinking These Hot Days.

NEW YoRK.-Preaching the gospel through
megaphone is the latest Many persons while
passing along the upper section of West street Of
late have been startled by the sound of preaching
and singing apparently coming out of the air from
nowhere in particular. There is no church in the
vicinity there may be no street group near to
explain It. The illusion is produced by large
megaphone which makes the voices carry for
surprising distance with the effect of being
spoken in ones ear. For some little time street
service has been held daily at West and Bethune
streets in which large megaphone plays an i'm
portant part. The audience reached in this way
may be scattered over several blocks and even
the passerby a street or two away is likely to
have his attention suddenly arrested.

HONESTY AND MORALITY
Father Slocum Called Graduates At-
 tendon to RooseYets Waning.

The older folks as we'll as the graduates were highly entertained yesterday afternoon by the remarks of Father Slocum, who awarded the diplomas at St Mary's school. The essays were principally on the life and writings of the Rev Abram J. Ryan, often referred to as the poet of the southern confederacy, whose effusionS are considered master pieces of versification and teem with a high sense of morality, although patriotic enough to suit the hottest of the boys who staked their hopes with the conquered banner" Father Slocum said that if such a condition could arise as eliminated in the civil war, which cost the lives of millions of human beings and the expenditure of millions of money out of a single interpretation of the con- stitution, how much more serious it would be now in case difference of that character should crop up when questions are constantly being dis cussed which have direct bearing upon every home in the land. He called attention to the warnings of President Roosevelt regarding hon esty and morality in order to check the danger of anarchy and socialism, and cited this and various other things to show the great necessity of educating the youth to grow up di- fected by conscience in the fear of God and the love of country.

 Former Resident of Waterbury.

McGrath, recently ordained to the priesthood in Canada, is the guest of the Rev Fathers Shel- ley and Dunigan of the Sacred Heart church and will say the 10:30 o'clock mass there next Sunday.

During his college days he worked at the insurance business in Waterbury and lived with Park Police Officer John Delehanty of East Main street. Father McGrath is a ripe scholar and won several prizes for proficiency in languages, notably Latin, in the diff ferent colleges where he studied. He said his first mass in Wallingford last Sunday. After a short vacation with relatives in Waterbury, Bridge port, Wallingford and other Connec- ticut towns.

Redgate of the police force. Sergeant Webb and John E.

The trolley hit the auto and the auto bounded back and crashed into a team in which were seated ex-City Clerk M. J. Ryan, agent for the Hellmann Brewing Go. and J. w. Fitzpatrick, press agent at Polls and Jacques theaters. The Park city quartet, including his honor, the mayor. thought they had reached the end of their tether, and the wrong doings of the past came back to them with telling effect, the mayors greatest regret being that he ever got into the municipal chair. Ryan and Fitzpatrick did stunts in the carriage and then performed a brother act on the pavement.

TAYLOR DIVORCE GRANTED
Only Case Heard By Judge Reed in Superior Cout To-day.

William Taylor, who sometime ago kept stationery store on East Main street opposite Polls theater was the defendant In the only divorce suit that was heard by Judge Reed in the superior court to-day. Mrs Mabel Ann Roberts Taylor, the plaintiff alleged cruelty and intemperance and asked the custody of her daughter Thelma.
 Before taking evidence, Attorney Carmody stated that he expected to have tried the case last Friday. and with that object In view he had noti- fled Taylor, who was present. But circumstances prevented 1t being heard. Taylor then said he would not oppose the suit on the grounds alleged but if infidelity was charged he would fight while he had cent, because he wished to save his daughter from the stigma that would attach to him.
 So 1t was decided not to press the case on that ground. Taylor was not present to-day.
 Mrs Taylor testified that she was married on April ', 1897 and two years later Thelma was born. For one year and a half after marriage Fay Tor was n model husband. He opened news store on East Main street and prosperity perched upon his endeav- ors. But it did not seem to agree with him for he took to drink and during the last two years of their married life Mrs Taylor would not stay that her husband drew sober breath. While he was out drinking she was keeping store. He was rural letter carrier for while but he had to re- sign and at length they felt it neces- Sary to sell the news store.
 likeness and intemperance then be- came Taylor's lot. He could keep no position. He was appointed assistant station agent in Oakflle, but he had to give that up. This was in 1903. He was idle a while and then the trolley men in Bridgeport struck. and Taylor engaged at a strike breaker there. He kept this place until the other men made it too hot for him to stay. and Christmas week found him out of work. He struck out for New York in the following February and soine time later wrote his wife that he was down and out and had to pawn the watch she gave him soon after their mar riage. His next step was to join the Salvation army in New York. He was silent for some time after and he next showed up in New Haven where he is now supposed to be.
 Meanwhile. Mrs Taylor kept herself and daughter on the proceeds of her needle and eventually her friends started her in a boarding house. She was getting along finely in this ven ture. and one day her husband show cd up. He would do anything to be taken back but his wife had enough of him. She told him that those who had started her keeping house would withdraw their support if he came under her roof. So she gave him a s note and that was the last she saw of him until last Friday. Mrs Taylor's sister. Mrs Lillian Roberts Britton. Officers Tehan and Fitzgerald and a few others testified for the petition and decree was granted.

A good sized trout managed to tangle up Mir Cooks line and while trying to ad. just it he fell in the pond. The water was deeper than he supposed and he was having trouble when his friend thought 1t necessary to go to his assistance. and in doing so he fell in. too. Then they helped each other out. This did not spoil their mornings sport. however. judging from the contents and weight of their baskets. They brought home about twenty good ones

RESTORED TO DOCKET.
But Court Refused to Put Back the
 Connolly Divorce Suit.

Eighteen of the fifty-nine cases that were stricken on the superior court docket a week ago were re- stored to it to-day. Every case hut one that was asked to be replaced was put back. The exception was the divorce suit of James Connolly against Margaret B. Connolly. At torney Slavin. counsel for the defen- dant, asked that it be replaced and the request was opposed by Judge Peasley. counsel for the plaintiff. Judge Reed said he could not under stand why a defendant in a divorce suit should care to have her case kept on the docket when obviously 1t was to her advantage to have it taken off Attorney Slavin. however. insisted that 1t was to the woman's benefit to have the case restored. in order, he said, that 1t would be tried and disposed of forever. Another req son was that if the case was not re- stored he feared his client. who Is we'll along in years. will be bothered by such another suit. The court de- clined to retsore 1t.
 As the term of the court now on expires next Friday Judge Reed dId not assign any cases for hearing next week. He calculated that the Latbrop case will give him all the business that can be handled during the week. This case will be resumed Tuesday. provided the attorneys can attend court and Mrs Lathrop is in good health. Her appearance in the Du- rant case the other day surprised not only her friends but her counsel. At- torney 0'Neill It is now said thst she was absolutely necessary to the prosecution in that case and without her evidence. which Is not strong against Mr Durant. the prosecution would not be able to proceed The d. voree cases of Mary E- Bishop against William E.

WORDS IN oKLAHoMA's NAME
Belief That It Was Taken from Com. anche Tongue Refuted by Stu
 dent of Indian Lore.

Oklahoma City. ok.-The Rev. J. s. Murrow, of Atoka, who Is deep student of Indian lore and an au. thority on such matters. r1futes the statement made recently by the In- dian Leader that Oklahoma" is a Comanche Indian word meaning Hand of the fair god"
 He asserts that it is Choctaw word and means simply red people," the Indian word rokla," meaning people. and "homma" meaning red. In joining the two words one m is omitted. The name was given to Wright. chief executive of the Choc- taw Nation in 1868, when the United States government negotiated with all of the Five Tribes to effect . treaty.
 At that time the present boundary of Oklahoma and Indian Territory was outlined. and it was proposed to erect a regular territorial form of government with a view of finally making 1t a state to be controlled by the Indians. But the Indians themselves did not consent to that part of the proposition
 When the matter of a name for new territory was mentioned by the secretary of the interior to the as- sembled Indian governors. Mir. Wright spoke instantly and said: Call 1t Oklahoma" What doss that mean!" asked the secretary. It means red people, answered Governor Wright, and the matter vas settled
 Later Indian Territory vas sspa. rated from the Oklahoma. and nov the original boundaries are to bs restored with the name as given by Governor Wright d the Chocfsva and the original state a coutsn- plated will soon take its place in the sisterhood. though in this nev state the Indians ufIl not be the co1fruIl- ing element. as they night have been had they acted e the covern- nent desired f1 1fss
