Caroline, the sewing circle will meet here
this afternoon, and | wish you'd speak to
William Henry and tell him not to make the
noise he usually makes around the house.
The members of the society are not accus-
toned to such levity in this house, and
don't think it becoming in the house OF a
minister. Aunt Comfort may 'pooh-pooh'
about such things, and your father will say
nothing about them; neither would TirZah,
but | know what's proper and what isn't,
and | really don't think, Caroline Dexter, that
you'd ought to let William be so-so-well, so
happy all the time There's something else
in this life besides happiness
81 know it, Aunt Nancy" | heard my
mother say. in her usual gentle tone-"I know
it, and Willie will find it out soon enough. l
want him to be happy while he can. Care
comes SO soon to us all. But / will tell him
to keep very quiet today"
The sewing circle is usually described and
parodied as meeting at which every tongue
runs ceaselesslv to talk of not very elevating
kind
doubt if this is true in any case. 1t Ger
tainly was not true of the sewing circle that
met in my grandfather's house that July after
noon, fifteen years ago.
The members we're all old ladies of from
sixty to eighty years of age. l remember
just how they looked in their severely-plain
gowns, with their hair smoothed down, so
fiat over their temples and the tops of their
ears.
Most of them wore white or plaid gingham
handkerchiefs pinned around their necks and
black silk aprons tied around their waists
There was certain primness and reserve
that struck me as strange in a company of
old women who had known each other all
their lives.
One old lady added to the funereal aspect
of the affair by getting into corner and not
speaking a word all afternoon, while the sol
emnitv of her face was awful. She held
folded handkerchief tightly in one hand all
of the time, and every ten or twelve minutes
she. pressed the handkerchief to her eyes while
not sew or knit as the others did.
Aunt Nancy gave as a reason for this strange
conduct that "Sster Bates had some sense of
her responsibility as a human being" while
Aunt Comfort said that "the poor creature
didn't know any better"
The deacons Of, the church always came in
time for tea, and after their arrival the de-
pressing solemnity increased until everybody
1t was at this point of the meeting that L,
driven into the house by a light, rain and
finger, repaired quietly. to the attic, to look at
some old books full of quaint pictures that I
had recently found in an ancient red chest

My Eastern relatives were not less kindly

They seemed to be keeping careful guard

There was becoming dignity in the very

DIVER FREE AGAIN
Peter Bauby Once More on Bond
 For Sum of $4,00O.

Dr Hugh J. DeVer, who was ar rested yesterday charged with per forming criminal operation upon Mrs Josephine Hale, who died in the Waterbury hospital Thursday even ing, was released on bail this fore noon about l0:30 o'clock, The bondsman was Peter Bauby, and the bail was $4,000.
 Last night the doctor was removed from the women's department on the second floor to the cell corridor on the lower floor. Arrangements were made last evening for his release on bail this forenoon.
 The conclusions of the physicians who held the autopsy have not been made public by Coroner Makepeace, but it seems to be generally accepted that the woman died in consequence of criminal operation she under went. The inquest is not expected to be finished until Monday Dr DeVer's counsel requested the cor oner to allow them to have a doctor attend the autopsy and they were denied that privilege, though Attor- ney Bauby says it was a right and it was wrongfulIy denied. However, the doctors counsel did not seem to be greatly excited over this infringe ment of his rights.
 The body of Mrs Hale was re- moved from Moriarty's undertaking rooms yesterday afternoon and shipped to Winsted, whence it went to East Hartford to the home of her parents. Instead of one, as has been published, she left two small chil. dren, one of them only 6 months of age.
 Dr DeVer is reported to be suf- fering from an affectation of the heart. His wife visited him early to-day and remained with him until he was released on bail. A hack was sent for and with Attorney Bauby one of his counsel the doctor and his wife drove home. The bail is good for the doctors appearance before the February term of the superior court, criminal side, but it rests with the coroner to bring it before the city court before that time, if he cares to.
 Attorney A. P. Hayes is acting with Attorney Bauby. MT Hayes sailed for Bermuda this morning and will be absent about ten days. Before going he had long consulta- ton with Attorney Bauby as to the defense and, while nothing was said for publication CT that score, it is reported that one feature of the de- fense will be an absolute denial of the accusation based on total ignorance of any knowledge of Mrs Hale.

FIRE FAST SPREADING.
Flames Discovered in House at
 Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Nov 16.-A fire broke out in the house of E. Shnetman, 629 Fairview avenue, at 10:30 last night, which resulted in one bed room being gutted and the house being filled with smoke. A still alarm was first sent in, followed by an alarm from box "A. Only chem icals were used.
 MT Shnetman, his wife and em- ployes were working in the basemen. On the first floor was his parlor and bed rooms. In the rear of the hall, and adjoining the childrens bed room, is the sleeping room of the servant. Nathan Klibansky and family live up stairs. While in the basement he was startled by the loud cries of fire by the children, who were in their room.
 MT Shnetman ran up stairs, find ing the servants room was a verita- ble furnace, while the flames were breaking out of it into the children's s room at the side and toilet room in the rear. The still alarm brought Chief Mooney and the chemical en- zine in a very short time. The line of chemicals was run through the house and it was poured into the room, and in a very short time the flames were killed. But everything in the room, bed, bureau, clothing, pictures, etc, were completely de- stroyed. The 1remen picked up the blazing stuff and threw it out doors.
 The servant girl, who has only been in the country two weeks, is the heaviest loser. She loses every thing except the clothing on her back. The total loss will be about S200.

WOMAN TAKES A GUN LICENSE.
Fairfield Clergyman Is Also in the
 List of Hunters.

Fairfield, Nov 16.-0ver 100 gun licenses have been issued to the sportsmen of this town. Probably the oldest gentleman to secure a li- cense is Dilayon Thorp. who reioices in 75 years. George Bond, aged 69, has a license, and John Conway, aged 66, has also procured one. One gentleman who tips the scale It 200 pounds will indulge in the auti-fat exercise of hunting for cartridges, quail and woodoock.
 One woman, Mrs Elizabeth B. Sturgis. has taken out a license. And one clergyman. the Rev W. H. Holman, has done the same.
 Three Italians and two Poles will try their luck in the woods and fields.

Report On the
 Arizona Date Orchard

The following reference to the gov ernment date orchard located several miles south of Tempe is made in the annual report of the University of 'rizona agricultural experiment sta ton:
 During the year the number of olf- shoots Tn the orchard has almost doubled, DO les, than 94s new suckers appearing on the 26s six-year-old trees, planted in July, 1900. In April, May, June and later, first distribu- ton of llS suckers, mostly Rhars, was made mainly to points in Texas, Arizona and California. One half Of these have been placed by the United States department Of agriculture, the other by the Arizons experiment sta tion. The orchard blosoomed well this season and conditions were favor able to pollination. Consequently a good crop of fruit was starred, judged 8: one time to amount to nearly iUU pounds in about 25 varieties As . novelty this crop was sold at gross price of 40 to 50 cents e pound.

Fair Will Be

Figuring sl5,00o, appropriated by the last legislature, and estimating the receipts of s2O,OO0 more, J. c, Adams, member oi tie fair commis' sion and president of the Arizona Fair association, stated that s35.0OO will be expended at the territorial fair in November
 Two strong attractions have al- ready been practically arranged for by Messrs. Adams, Packard and Pol lock, who make up the fair commi,- sion. They are the worlds champion pacer, Dan Patch, who will go against the world records for the mile on no ile and half-mie tracks, and sn air ship.
 Dan Patch now holds the worlds pacing record of :55. made l-st fall st Minneapolis with A wind shield and TWO running mates. Roy Kns. benshue, the most prominent aerial navigator, wIll probably be the rnss 10 run the airship at the fair next November.
