tiOned specifically two young women wno were endeavoring 10 earn their way through one of the Territorial educational institutions, but needing a little ready money they would in all probability be unable to remain at the institution through the year. The immediate needs of these de- serving young women was promptly met not only by generous contribu- tions from some members of the con- vention, but Prescott women, not members of the convention, also re- sponded nobly to the call.
 As the Women's clubs of Arizona are loyal and active supporters of education the delegates to that con Yention pleaded support to a perman- ent scholarship fund. These scholar ships will be given in the University of Arizona and the Normal schools of Flagstaff and Tempe.
 While the Federation of Women s Niubb nag lut WOIh Ol ds- tablishing this fund which is to be. known as the "Girls' Scholarship Fund of the Arizona Federation of Women's Clubs,' it is not intended to be exclusively the work of club members but rather work by wom- en and for women. As an organiza- tion the Federation can hold this as gift from the women of Arizona to the girls of Arizona. It is earnestly hoped that every woman and girl within the Territory will consider it privilege to be able to render active assistance in this noble work and any contribution will be neither too large or too small to be accepted for this fund. All. contributions should be sent to Mrs. Dixon Fagerberg, Pres eott, who has charge of this fund. Donations have been made by:

Friday, Messrs. Holden & Edwards, who have produced several successful plays this. year, will offer '"Ten Nights in a BarroOm" with an entire new set Of scenery and stage equipment. The play Is good one and contrary to expectations, is full of good lively comedy situations. The antics or Sample and Mehitable make it one good long laugh, but the moral lesson remains as strong as it ever was. There will be matinees on both days.
 Since Harry Lauder, the renowned Scottish comedian who will appear az Park on Thursday, Oct 19 for matt nee only, last left this country he made his debut in a vocation far re- moved from the stage. Last winter he was appointed joke editor'' of the Peoples Journal of Fife in Scotland and he took an active interest in his duties throughout the season. In ad- ditiOn to the humorous articles the great comedian wrote dailys for his paper it was his duty to award the prize for the best jokes sent in by contributors to his column. Lauder s most recent prize of ten shillings went to a schoolboy in Edinburgh who con- tributed the following: Tom Wilson's son and heir had just been christen- ed, and the minister was cOngratulat- ing the worthy parents on the baby's splendid behaviour. Why said he that is the first time in all my ex- perience that I have baptised a chiio who did not cry during the cere- mony." .'Ye see, sir, answered Tom. Ines got kind O used to it.

Few acts on the stage today afford such all-around interest to all class es and ages of people as the wonder fully spectacular performance of the two Curzon Sisters, the Human But terflies" who head the splendid bill at Polls theatre.
 Girl acts' on the vaudeville stage are familiar enough, but not the var lety in which two stunning young women risk their lives at the topmost point of the stage in a series of grace, full and beautiful but extremely dar- ing evolutions on the aerial. rings. The Curzon Sisters have feats of skill and dexterity all their own, and never du- plicated on the stage before. The nov city, grace and beauty of their per- formance is sufficient to win the ap- plause of any audience, and when cou.2lft.

sketch is declared to be extremely clever and artistic and with the cap- able interpretation afforded by Miss Herne and her assistants is sure to provide amusement of the most en- Joyable kind to the vaudeville goers
 Another big attraction, sure to be appreciated, is the novelty singing act, Vacation Time as presented by Rol- and Carter & Go. The scene of this act is laid behind prison bars, but the dismal surroundings are used as a setting for the funniest comedy aal incidentally some mighty catchy siI4.- ing.
 MT. and Mrs. Hugh Emmett will present to Bridgeport this week their ventriloquial performance, one of the funniest ever seen. They have a new way of putting it over'. and are sure to make a big hit

 Southport, Oct. 9.-The heavy storm or Friday and Saturday washed bush . el after bushel of oysters out of their ped In the Sound and took them to the shores about this town where the farmers were all day Saturday pic.> Ing up the shell fish and taking them nome by the wagon loads.
 AS the high tide started to leave, early Saturday morning, it was no- tlced that many of the oysters wera left on the high tide line. Along 3 o'clock in the morning there were many from the back parts of the town, down to the shore with their horses and wagons and the oysters were so plentiful that many went away with about all that they thought they could get rid of in their neigh borhood. There were many bushels taken away and by the way the beach looked in the early part of the day, it would seem as though there could be but very few left out in the Sound to dredge for. Oysters will be ate in Fairfield for the next two weeks.

 A young girl who attended dance but had not been formally introduced into society found herself confronted with the serious responsibility of en- tertaining her first young man caller He had asked permission to call after having danced with Ter, and an ap- pointment was made for several even- ings distant.
 ., The girl had no worldly education, and was considerably Mustered over the prospects of having to keep the conversation up to a gentle boilA Her friends assured her that conversation was not, difficult once tried, but that there must be some reliance on stan- dard topics. when an acquaintance was just forming. The young man was college bred. they pointed out, and probably familiar with literature, music, art or history.
 History.
 That was an inspiration and she began to read it with avidity.
 The evening came and with it the young u1an. He presented her with some long-stemmed roses told her she looked charming, referred to the plea sure he had had in dancing with her. and rattled on with the rest of the usual opening chorus.
 Then he paused, leaned back and crossed his legs.

Especial to the Evening Farmer.l
 Stratford, Oct. 9.-The value of the oyster crop this year exceeds that or any in the last seven years. The set on the natural oyster beds in this part of the Sound has been comment ed on but the actual results have so far exceeded all expectations. Capt Charles Wakeley of this town, who IS well known as familiar with every thing eofcerning the water and what grows in it, counted the young oysters in half a bushel of the eaten on the natural beds after it was culled last week. He found over 2,SO0 young oysters in this half bushel. He as- Serts that his count was conservative and that the average will go about 5000 oysters to a bushel of seed. Ine price paid to the dredgers has been from 50 to 75 cents per bushel. AS the seed grows larger the price dlm- inishes In the last week the price has dropped to 30 cents. At tnls price there is a good margin Tor the natural growthers. The real proht comes to those who plant the seed and reap the benefits of the increase. A bushe1. of seed containing 5000 oy- ster will, with reasonable allowance for loss from all the various sources known to the oyster grower make dozen barrels of marketable product worth at least $5 per barrel, Tn three years after they are planted. It is seven years since the men who work on the natural beds have had any chance to make a little money This year they are reaping a harvest which, while it looks big now, is only smali return for the years during which they worked the beds at 8, very small profit sometimes hardly enough to provide the necessaries of life The work is hard, probably as hard as any kind of labor in any line: in this state. Workers on the beds must be hard of hand and-inured4to exposure. The heavy dredges flledFwith gstones and a sprinkling of oysters require an ex- penditure of muscle not called for in any other line of business. The men who. gather the seed are not. general ly equipped to get the profit which accrues from the growth of the seed after it is planted They usually sell it to the big oystermen who have plenty of ground on which to plant it. The business has become SO large that the ordinary Shoreman owning his oYzng brNty anda catching. the seed is not Sabfe tor do anything with it after he has it on deck except to sell to the big men in thesbusiness.

COUNTY FAIR IN STAMFORD.
Best Available Territory in This End of the State For Such an
 Enterprise.

The proposition. to locate a county fair in this town has bobbed up again with all its attendant recommends tions. Nutmeg Park and it's adjacent territory including Avon Park is the best and only available site for such an enterprise in the county. Strat- ford with the aid of it's suburb on the west can furnish hotel accommoda tions for any number of thousands who would attend such an attraction here. There is plenty of room, with railroad connection which reach the limit in any direction. After nearly twenty years of discussion it might be. we'll for the Stratford board of trade to take the matter up seriously and make determined effort to start the game. Perhaps. the Bridgeport Board of Trade would help if they were allowed to post up a big sign announcing that it had accomplished something for the town. Stratford will be willing to give its young neigh bor almost anything it asks if the en- terprise is located here..

 AS we have had occasion to say be- fore, the modern prize fight, with three minute rounds limited in mum ber one-minute intermissions, padded declared when one of the boxers fails to continue after a count of 10 sec- onds, involves less of the suffering of physical injuries than football: less of the suffering of physical exhaustion than four-mile boat race, less cruel ty'' than wrestling, hockey Or water polo.
 The crowd that it attracts is nc lower in average character than the crowd that goes to the baseball games It is composed of drunken toughs and crooks at one end, of cultivated lit erary men, artists, judges, bankers at the other, with a great mass ot average respectable citizens in be- tween.
