Excellent provision has been made
at the State Fair for dining halls and
lunch booths right near the main
buildings, where the many thousands
may find ample facilities for lun-
cheon. Two large and airy dining
halls provided by the society will be
operated by experienced parties who
have leased the buildings. Several
religious orders will maintain restaur.
ants, so 1t will be on the whole incon.
venient and unnecessary for visitors
to bring their lunches with them.

MORRIS COVE R. R. BILL
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
Steam Road Provision and Part of Bonding Feat
 ure Out.

Hartford, May 16.-After some debate on amendments, the chief one of which was presented by Representative Gum, providing that bonds shall not be issued until 30 per cent of the capital stock had been paid in, giving a ratio of 70 per cent. water to 30 per cent. cash-an amendment which failed4the East Ha- ven and Morris Cove railroad charter bill, with the steam road provision and a part of the bonding feature stricken out, was passed in the house to-day
 The sections struck out were at the suggestion of Representative Malone, and Representative Griswold, of Guil- ford, said that there was no objection on the part of the promoters. Te said the road would be built,ias the propo- sition was all honest one. Representa- tive Griswold admitted that Represent ative Gunn's proposed affiendnient was a good one, but he did not think 1t fair to start to put into practice the new idea of restricting bonding on this com pany, even if the states policy had been wrong in the past.

BARONESS SENTENCED. SHORT TERM IN PRISON Killed Broadway Manufac- turer at Office Last
 November.

New York, May 16.--Baroness Anisia Louise de Massy, convicted of the mur- de" of Gustave Simon, shirtwaist manufacturer at GOA Broadway, whom she shot on November 19, was sentenced to-day by Judge Blanchard, in the criminal branch of the supreme court, to serve seven years and five months in the states prison for women at Au- burn.
 She was indicted for murder in the first degree, but the jury found yer dict of manslaughter in the first de- gree.
 Although the extent of the sentence was lighter than had been anticipated by her counsel, Charles E. LeBarbier, the baroness did not seem glad or re- lieved. neither did she shed tear on seem in the slightest degree moved. She was tastefully gowned as she was dur ing all the days of her trial.
 MT. LeBarbier moved for new trial and arrest of Judgment, which was de- nied. He then said that after thor ough investigation of the case there was nothing for him to do but to throw himself upon the mercy of the court.
 He added that the baroness had re- turned to the consultations of her re- ligion and had become very devout.
 Justice Blanchard declared that the woman had been ably defended and i'm posed sentence MT. LeBarbier said he would take an appeal.

NJ TROUBLE AT HYPERION.
PRESS AGENTS SCHEME
Students and Stage Hands Had No Fight Says
 Manager.

In regard to a graphic account of 8 conflict between stage hands at the Fly perion and Yale sophomores sent out to two New York evening papers yes terday, Manager Gilfiillan of the Hy- perion said last night that 1t was a plot of Miss Adele Ritchie's personal representative, MT. Moran, to bring the star before the New York public where she is soon to open an engage ment.
 The account as prited, stated that the players were rehearsing at o'clock yesterday morning for the first pres entation of Fascinating Flora" and the Yale sophomores climbed up the fire escapes to see the chorus girls and refused to leave when ordered out Thereupon fight ensued between the stagehands and the students, and the girls encouraged the students.
 The account, as printed, stated that say that the names of the students had been learned, and that they would be severely dealt with.
 Manager Gilfillan said that yesterday morning at ? o'clock as the company was putting on the finishing touches, several flashlights were taken. The side doors were opened to let out the smoke, and four men, attracted by the light at that time in the morning, walked in and took seats in an upper box, MT. Gilfllan went to them and asked them to leave, whereupon they all arose and went out. There was ab- solutely no trouble and MT. GilAllan says he deplores the fact that an over jealous representative should have sent out such story near the close of a season when there has been such good feeling between the theater and the students.

BUTTERFLY MIGRAT1oN.


 In a breath appeared horde of but terflies coming from the north straight across a wide pasture, settling in the circle of trees. adding a sumptuols touch to the green ani gold-for the time was September, and elms and naples were fiaring torches. I had been only three days in Kan sas, and, 10! migration of butterflies. To witness migration of this Milk weed Butterfly is, I learn. a rare priv ilege, for 1t is our only species in America that does migrate, and honor ed were we in it's royal progress, bound for the Carolinas or the Gulf States. A rollicking, happy -go-luckv sort of crowd they seemed.
 An amazing and intera sing specta- cle we found these frail airy voyagers on that sunny afternol when, by teur of the clock (that strikes all the tiTe unless it's gong is telderly wrapped Tn cotton batting), they drifted to us in hundreds, like autumn leaves leased from their moorings afoat on summer winds.
 AS swallows soaring, curving, drop ping into the chimney depths at twi- light, thus the butterflies rose ana fell, rose and circled higher 1higner, up to the very tree- tops; then came tunpllng back among the leaves, settling and unsettllng themselves fussily, airily, noiselessly, as though a mere contact with a branch made them recoil; if not just the right place-up and away, slowly and with dignity; their selec- ton was daintily made
 On the twigs they strung themselves like beads, one upon another; or, rath- CT, the comparison might well be made, they hung in punches as droops the yellow laburnum, the purple wistaria, the fragrant locust blossom. Precise ly like that they hung, bearing down by their weight all around the tree the fine fringe of the spruce freight ing 1t with Christmas gifts before the time of fruitage.
 Whether or not somnolence, indiffer- ence to fate, or wing-weariness ruled the butterfly mind, I cannot tell, but I stood among the swarming thousands at the very least count, and plucked them off, one by one, experimenting with them and setting them again on the twigs.
 Set upon my hand, this or that one would remain as placed it for per- haps ten seconds. Another would, at the unloosing of it's wings, 1utter instant ly upwards. I set them upon my dress, to which they clung rather longer than to my hand; but not any kind of ex- ! perimenting greatly disturbed them. Going the rounds, attempted to count them as far as could reach, but gave it up when had numbered something over three hundred, for they seemed always on the move, settling, rising, fiuttering about mixing themselves in many ways.-Jennie Brooks, in liar | pers for June.
