FINE SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT
Original and Unique Play bY Wangum
 Camp Fire Girls.

Original and Unique Play bY Wangum
 Camp Fire Girls.
 The Camp Fire Girls play, to be pre- sented in Town Hall tomorrow evening, promises to be unique entertainment. The play is sort of exemplification of the work of the order, with interesting incidentals, which has been summarized by one of the guardians for the informa- tion of the patrons.
 The Wangum Camp Fire consists of three groups the Winonahs, the Hikis and the Nishimis. These groups meet separately once week with their respec- tive guardians. Every two months they meet together in what they call Camp Fire Rally, when, after conducting their Camp Fire ceremonials, they enjoy games, etc. This play represents one of the rallies, and will be enacted in three scenes. The synopsis follows:
 Scene 1. Three girls arrive early, to prepare club room; other girls arrive in small groups they talk. sing, dance and have general publication until the guardians arrive. The chief guardian then conducts the picturesque Wohelo ceremony and the initiation of two new members.
 Scene ?. The Winonahs provide en- tertainment in the form of amusing geographical puzzles in pantomime, the answers to be guessed by the audience.
 Scene 3. Helen Whitford, Elizabeth Peirce, Ellen Lindell, Jessie Donalds and Jeannette Roger enact an amusing play for the entertainment of tke rest of the Camp Fire
 The play will be unique in the fact that it will contain features absolutely new to Canaan.
 The object in giving this play and subsequent ones IS to start fund for the purchase of plot of ground upon which to construct club bungalow which shall be equipped with rooms and facilities for such employments and amusem ents as may be desired by tfe guardians and girls, including convenlenees for gymnas- tics, physical culture exercises, folk dances, social entertainments, etc., and it is likely that cooking facilities. sewing machines and workbench may be in- cluded i'll the plan of the bungalow.
 The tickets for the entertainment are being sold by the girls, at 35 cents each, and as no seats are reserved it behooves the patrons to be on hand to secure seats before the curtain rises, which will be promptly at 8 o'clock.

NO $1,OOO,000 PLANT
Big Falls Village Project Reported Abandoned by Stone & Webster.

Big Falls Village Project Reported
 Abandoned by Stone & Webster.
 Falls Village has the blues today, and her melancholy is shared by sisGer towns that had hoped to participate in the ben fits resulting from the establishment of the prospective $1,0OO.O0O power plant planned by Stone & Webster, for the transmission of electric energy from the Housatonic river to the Naugatuck Val ley-a prospect which, according to lat est account, is knocked into a cooked hat by reason of the fabulous value of real estate at certain points along the proposed route.
 Engineer Gray, in charge of the work of survey has just returned from Boston with the report that Stone & Webster, although among the wealthiest concerns in their line in the country, have con- cluded that they haven't got money enough to purchase right of way from Falls Village to Torrington, and have become disgusted with conditions and the disposition shown in some instances where negotiations have been long and fruitless, and decided to throw up the whole project and withdraw from the field, where they have spent thousands of dollars and eight months of time in preliminary work.
 Which means, as interpreted by those who know, that the million dollar de- velopment project is "all off," And it's too bad.

OLD TIME JOURNALISM
Falls Village Paper of 52 Years Ago
 Had no Local News.


 A copy of the Housatonic Republican, published Tn Falls Village and dated October 19, 1861. has been preserved by MT. E. s. Roberts, and is an interesting relic There is not single item of local news in the paper, and very few local advertisements, among the latter being the announcement of w. G. Gardner, the tailor, whose death. in Elkhart, Ind, was chronicled in The News last week; Belden & Reed, (the late Edward Bel den and John B. Reed. now of Canaan,l who would respectfully announce to the inhabitants of Falls Village and vicinity that they have leased the store lately occupied by Messrs Gray & Smith and have just returned from New York" with big stock of dry goods, etc.; "Iron Bank" statement showing condition Oct. l, 1861, which had capital stock of S200, 900 and $s8, 500 surplus funds, with total liabilities of $SS0, LOOSE, sworn to by A. O. Randall, cashier. before John A. Gillette, justice of the peace Henry l.. Dickinson teacher of a select school" MT. and Mrs. Metcalfe, who advertised seminary for young ladies and gentle men in the Town Hall building at North Canaan :" s. Solmonson, watch maker and jeweler; O. B. Maltbie, agent for "Lighte & Bradbury insulated full iron frame new scale, grand and square piano fortes :" J. F.

Hall, who held the office twelve years.)
 The Housatonio Republican, Mir. Hall informs us, was published by the late O. B. Maltbie. who ran it for quite mum Der of years in the late fifties and early sixties.

 Luxurious birches and pines; He can grow oak trees with the greatest of ease,
 And acres of shrubs and vines But he can't grow thatch on the little bald patch On bis pate where the bare scalp shines"

BROTHERHOODS EAT AGAIN
Fourth Joint Supper We'll Attended and Enjoyed.

and Enjoyed.
 Friday evening, the fourth joint meeting of the Brotherhoods of the Oan- aan churches occurred in the dining room of the Methodist church. Sev- enty-five men gathered about the boun- tifully laden tables, and did full justice to the tempting supper served by the ladies of the church.
 One table had been reserved for the singers and they were invited to the dining room first. The purpose was re- vealed when the other guests were ad- mitted. the singers greeting them with a jolly college song that seemed to set the pace for the gaiety of the evening. Other songs were interspersed with the talks that followed the supper. N. k. Lawton headed the committee in charge of the singing, N. W. Hardenbergh act ing as organist.
 After disposing of the good things on the tables, thus filling up the "inner man" to the limit, the pastor, Rev. H. Cornford, as toastmaster; greeted the guests in well chosen words of welcome. He then called on Robert D. Peirce, as president of the Pilgrim Brotherhood, who responded in behalf of that church, gracefully acknowledging their pleasure at being present.
 Principal H. s. Strayer. of the High school, was next called on by the toast. master, as holding one of the most im- portant positions in the community, touching not only the present, but in his school work fitting the coming gen. eration for the future. Mir. Strayer ex- pressed his pleasure at meeting so many of the men of the community and ex- pressed the hope that he might become better acquainted with them.
 The toastmaster announced there WAS one of .'the boys" of the church who had something to read. H. B. Stevens then read the poem published elsewhere in The News, entitled, "Old Times and New"
 After another song the invited speaker of the evening, MT. Thomas l.. Norton of LakevilIe, was introduced, but be- fore he could begin his address, Judge A. T. Rorabaok arose and proposed three cheers for Mir. Norton. The whole company arose and enthusiastic ally greeted him with three rousinf cheers. -..'~ .M.
 MT. Norton chose for his talk some in cidents connected with recent trip tC Europe In his own inimitable way tn, speaker brought before the guests de .Iightful descriptions of tue famou. places usually visited by every tourist as well as many points of interest tha could only have been seen by Mir. Nor l ton s eyes No one but he could hay, told the story so absorbingly as to holC the attentlon of every man i'll the room At it's conclusion prolonged applaus' showed the general appreciation of tn, address.
 Rev. E. o. Gillette, was then called on, in and his usual graceful manner ex pressed his appreciation of the gather ing, making a fitting closing to a de lightful evening. The company dis persed after the singing of America.

OVID GILLETTE IN FLORIDA
Town So Healthy They Can't Maintain
 Cemetery,

Cemetery,
 Ed. News: We have been In St. Petersburgh since Feb. 26 and must say this is the prettiest city I was ever in. The streets are all wide, 100 feet,most of them, and straight both ways. This leaves lawn on either side between driveway and sidewalk, about 20 feet wide where they have rows of palmetto trees and flowers and the sidewalks are all paved with six.sided blocks of con- crete, light and dark, and the streets are all paved with brick and kept very clean-a perfect paradise for autos. They are also numbered and marked with post at each corner, in what they call Philadelphia style so the greenest country pumpkin, if he can read, can find any place without asking a ques- tion.
 Lying as it does between Tampa Bay aud the Gulf of Mexico, no matter which way the wind blows, it always comes from the water, which makes the air very nice. In fact, they describe it as one continual summer day, and a great many people have been benefited very much. especially those with lung or bronchial trouble. The worst thing is the "high cost of living about $S to $28 per week being what they have to cough up. Also lots of amusements in the way of trolley rides, boat rides, auto rides and foot rides, moving pic lures and grand theatre.
 This seems to be an unusually healthy place. Most places take great deal of pride in their cemetery, but they tried to have one here, set off a piece of ground for it and waited for customers, but it was so poorly patronized that they cut it up into building lots and sold it. The main street here, Central avenue, has sidewalks about 20 feet wide, and benches placed along on them for folks to sit on, like park benches. Every one appears good natured there are few police, and they don't have anything to do only answer a question once in a while. There are very few horses, only some work horses and mules never see horse and wagon hitched to a post in front of stores, but lots of autos, and they have some very nice stores and lots of them. One way people pass the time is fishing off the dock for Spanish mack erel. I have seen 200 at one time fish ing there, and they get from six or eight down to none, and I guess the nones are in majority. There are great quantities of sea gulls and pelicans ii the bay, and towards night they fly away in big fiocks to protected island a few miles below.
 Florida Is a land of great things. | There are in different parts of the state groves of oranges and grape fruit that would make Connecticut field of agri- | culture look pretty small. One field of grape fruit has 80 rows of trees each row | one mile long, 290 acres; i; another has g, ,000 acres, mostly grape fruit, and one has an orange grove of 900 acres. This is the largest orange grove owned by a single individual ill the world. If you want to enjoy life and a swim most every day all winter, come to St. Peters burg. Yours truly,
 O. P. GILLETTE.
 St. Petersburg, Fla, March 2.
