THE ACADEMY ENTERTAINMENT, PRINCIPAL GARDNER AND HIS PUPILS SCORE A NOTABLE SUCCESS. The Town hall was crowded, last week Thursday evening, at the closing exercises of the Newtown Academy which were or an especially pleasing nature, and highly creditable to Prin cipal W. W. Gardner and his pupils. The bareness of the stage at the Town hall was relieved by the tasteful deco rations, the background being a bank or hemlock. The program passed off without a hitch. The opening number was a violin solo by Edward Pitzschler, who showed marked proficiency. He was accompanied by Rowland Clark The next was a musical exercise en titled "Topsy Turvy," the parts being taken by Misses Lillian Mott, Eva Blackman, Pearl Parsons, Ethel Peck Messrs Rodney Shepard, Harley Peck Carleton Smith, Edward Pitzschler, Cecil Wright and Howland Clark Mis3 Agnes E. Piatt, Newtown's ac complished elocutionist, recited "A Sweet Girl Graduate," ana was gener ously applauded. A solo, "Face to Face," was sung by Howland Clark, The exercises had a pleasing conclusion in the very pretty cantata, "The Queen's Surprise," and the young peo ple certainly acquitted themselves re marnaoiy wen. miss .utnei Peck as the queen, was arrayed in a brilliant and 'handsome costume, that might well have graced the form of a queen The other characters were as follows 'Dame Watchful, M iss Pearl Parsons the huntsman, Carleton Smith; the misers, Edward Pitzschler, Cecil Wright; the elves, Misses Edna Smith, Eva Blackman, Laura Nolan, May E, Hoyt, Anna May Belts and Lillian Mott; the gnomes, Messrs Harley Peck, Howland Clark, Wallace Mitchell. William Betts and Rodney Shepard lhe elves were gowned in pink and luuKeu oeautiTui in tneir aaintv cos tumes, while the gnomes were dressed In brown suits. Miss Mabel Morris presided at the piano in a most accept able manner. At the conclusion of the cantata Rev Mr Linsley, president of the Academy association. steDDed forward and spoke as follows: "I feel sure nun, 1 voice ine unanimous sen. timent of the whole audience when say that we appreciate most entirely the excellent entertainment which has been given this evening and recognize the great pains and diligent work during the period of preparation which nave made this splendid success possi ble. And on this occasion I wish, as President of the Board of Trustees, to bear public testimony to the very ex cellent work which has been done by Mr Gardner and his capable assistant in the teacjiing and discipline of the Academy. Mr Gardner's influence has been not Intellectual only but he has exerted a wholesome influence for moral good upon all the pupils in the Academy and especially among the boys. This has been done in a manly, straightforward way. We are making efforts to keep Mr Gardner with us another year and are encouraged by the 'result thus far, and with the ready co-operation of patrons of the school and others we hope to be able soon to announce our success." Mr Linsley then requested Mr Gardner and Miss Briscoe to step to the plat form when Miss Ethel Peck, on behalf of the pupils of the Academy, present ed Principal Gardner with a book on botany and Miss Jennie Briscoe, the assistant teacher, with a handsome gold brooch pin. Principal Gardner in acknowledging the gift said it was far easier to stand behind the scenes and direct the en tertainment than to be called forward in tttis public way. He said his year at the Academy had been a very pleasant one. When he came to New town he said it was in the pow er of the pupils to make it very pleas ant or disagreeable for him, but they had chosen to do the former thing. In closing he thanked them for the unexpected gift. Miss Briscoe also responded with a gracious word of thanks. At the close of the exercises dancing was enjoyed. The dance programs were made of especial in terest by a pen and ink drawing of the Newtown Academy executed by Edward Pitzschler. The manual of summer resorts on the New York and New Haven road has just been issued and is a very neat and attractive pamphlet of 50 pages. It may be obtained on application to General Passenger Agent Ilemstead at New Haven, by enclosing a 2c stamp for postage. The pamphlet is not a guide book in a general sense, nor is it a time table. It is different and peculiar. It supplies the facts which persons who travel, and particularly persons seeking a place of summer recreation, desire to ascertain about the living accommodations and their cost throughout Southern New Eng land, a region interpenetrated in every part by the lines of this great railroad and steamboat system. The informa tion given is freshly collected and is as complete and trustworthy as it can be made by diligent attention and in quiry. In the matter of prices the regular tariff of the proprietors of hotels and boarding houses is given. No doubt these, in many cases, are subject to modification by special agreement according to the greater or less requirements made. It is unneces sary to boast of the unrivalled service of the New York, New Haven Hart ford Co. 's system. Those who have in former years been dependent upon it are aware of its excellent management for both safety and convenience. No company serving the traveling public is more faithfully controlled by a just sense of its obligations and responsi- ouities; no company shows more en terpnse, intelligence and liberality in doing its proper work. While these characteristics are apparent to those who only occasionally use it, they are of the highest importance to men who, during the summer season, must place their families where they can pass large portion of their own time and still be in comfortable and prompt communication with their business offices. Trains and boats are run with a frequency and certainty that give assurance of satisfaction, and they are of the first class in respect of elegance and ease. A NEW HAVEN NEWSPAPER MAN IN TOWN. W. H.

COMMISSIONER MAC DONALD VISITS THE TOWN AND DECIDES ON IM PROVEMENTS TO BE MADE ON DEPOT HIGHWAY. State Highway Commissioner Mac Donald was in town on Friday last, ar riving on the train reaching Newtown at 10.34 a. m., and leaving at 4 p. m With First Selectman Levi C. Morris he went over the road between the Street and the depot. The first ob jectionable feature that met his eye was the steep rise, just before the Street is reached. He told the genial mayor that this objectionable hill re minded him of an ugly wart on a man's nose. It was also on exhibition. His plans for improving the road are to cut the hill down to a level grade from top to bottom, and carting the dirt and gravel on to the road on the flat. The doing away with the steep grade will be a matter for general congratu lation and felicitation, especially to those who have heavy teaming. The surveying for the improvements has en done, this week, by Daniel G. Beers. Later, bids will be advertised for by the selectmen.and the successful bid must be approved by Commission er Mac Donald. It is probable work will not be begun before July 1 or later. The case of William J. Nichols of Bethel against the town of Newtown was tried on Monday in Bethel at the Town hall before Justice E.

On that day Frederick Warner of Bethel, who was accompanied by a nan named Oleson, while drivine from Bethel to Oxford, met with an accident caused by the horse breaking through sluice about a quarter of a mile west of the residence of Mrs D. B. Ferris. number of witnesses testified, in cluding Charles Ferris and C. William Northrop of Newtown. The trial re sulted in a judgment for the plaintiff of $35 damages and costs, amounting in the whole to about $58, from which an appeal was taken to the Court of Common Pleas. Henry A.

How gladly would men fly to wo man s aid did they but understand woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances. Those things are known only to women, and the aid a man would give is not at ms command. To treat a case properly it is neces sary to know all about it, and full information, many times, cannot be given by a woman to her family phy sician.

When an article has been on the market fot thirty years and has continually grown in favor with the public it is safe to assume that it has merit. This is true in the case of H. W. Johns' Liquid Paints. The demand for them has be come well nigh world wide the resnlt of the excellent qualities of the paint. Consumers who have used them have become convinced of their superior covering capacity and consequent econ omy. Carefully made by latest improved mech anical methods, of hig-h grade pigments, and pure Linseed Oil, they are the perfection of prepared paint, and it is not surprising that they have become generally recognized as the Standard Paints for Structural Purposes." Owing to tht greater durability of H. W. Johns' Liquid Paints compared with ordinary grades, less frequent application is required, thus effecting a saving that is appreciated by the man who pays the bills. Intending purchasers of paiut will fine it to their interest to write H. W. Johns Mfg. Co., 100 William Street. tv York, giving description of buildings to 1 e v :-;-il. and secure from them suggestions as to col .1 t-eatment, in order to in sure the use of harmonizing shades. H. W.
