 large party assembled at the residence of John E. Searles, jr., Davenport avenue, on Saturday evening last, composed of past and present officers and teachers of Wesley chapel M. E. Bible school, the occasion being the semi annual business meeting for the election of officers. The retirement of Mr. Searles from the office of superintendent was neces- sitated by his removal from this city to Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Searles has held the position of superintendent continuously for the past thirteen years, ever since the formation of the Wesley chapel M. E. church After the usual routine of business was dis posed of pleasing feature of the occasion was the presentation to MT. and Mrs. Searles of beautiful engraving entitled ''The Re- pose in Egypt, " inclosed in an elegant frame of gold and velvet and standing on an ebony easel selected from the art store of Evarts Cutler, Esq. The pastor, Rev. D. A. Good sell, in making the presentation spoke with much feeling regarding the valuable work of Mr. Searles in the Sabbath school cause He was known far and wide as model superin- tendent. He spoke of his untiring energy and zeal His heart was in the work and he had infused new life and renewed activity among his teachers by his constant endeavors to bring the school to high state of Christian usefulness and holy living. His departure to other fields of labor was a source of unfeigned re- gret among all who had labored with him in the Sabbath school work. The gift of the teachers, the pastor said, could not be reck- oned for it's money value alone, but when away from them and gazing upon the pie ture it would stand to the recipient as mute witness to the esteem and affection the tes ch- CTS feel for Mir. Searles and his loved family Mr. Searles was deeply affected, and with difficulty restrained his emotions. In part ing with his co-laborers he said it was not without feelings of the tenderest love for those who had been source of strength to him for the past thirteen years in Christian work, and while the beautiful gift would ever be cherished by him as coming from loved friends, yet he looked beyond also and saw the motive that prompted the gift, and should ever hold all the teachers in tender l recollection and love. Heartily thanking the l teachers for their kindness. he closed his re- | marks and invited them to the dining room, | where a bountiful 'spread" was prepared l that exceedingly refreshed the inner man. | After the usual handshaking and the bene- | iiction by the pastor, the company broke up | at late hour. There were eight persons | present who were teachers when the school | Eas first formed thirteen years ago.

Semf-Centennial.

The elegant new front and new interior decorations of the renowned and ever beauti- full jewelry emporium of George H. Ford are greatly admired by all. They are fine new feature of the old established and notable house, marking anew it's progressive spirit. And while Gen. Ford is to be congratulat- ed upon the beauty and artistic character of these Improvements, they are in sense his torically commemorative, as it is fifty years since the house was founded. From the small beginning of fifty years ago the trade of this house has increased until the stock in late years has become cosmopolitan and metropolitan in the variety and artistic char. acter of the selections. Gen. Ford is well deserving of the brilliant success he has achieved.
 In 1864 he began his business career with the late Everard Benjamin of revered memo ry, and though Gen. Ford has been exclu- sively in charge since 1873, the old firm name has been retained, but from this time the house will be known by the name of its pro- prietor, George H. Ford. Gen. Ford has ta. ken a ten years lease of the property, which will be hereafter Simpsons Block. May prosperity attend the house, even greater and in greater ratio in the future than in the past.
