Of Rev. J. E. Bushnell in Fairfield"
 There was a large attendance at the install lation on Wednesday of Rev. J. B. Bushnell over the Congregational church in Fairfield The Bridgeport Farmer says: 'Rev. John E. Bushnell, the candidate, is a recent graduate of Yale, young man of pleasing address, and one of whom great deal is expected. The exercises commenced promptly at o'clock with we'll rendered anthem by the choir, after which prayer was offered by the moderator, Rev. H. c. Woodruff, of Black Rock; reading of minutes of council by the scribe and scripture reading by w. w. Leete, of Ridgefe1d. An eloquent sermon from the text, Mark i, 1920, was preached by Profes- sor Barbour of Yale college It was schol- arly and practical discourse and elicited close attention from the audience. Another anthem by the choir, installing prayer
 by- Rev. R. B. Thurston of Green wich, and the charge to the pastor
 was given in kindly spirit by Rev; MT Hol
 man, of Southport. The hand of fellowship
 was extended by Rev. Mr. Plumlee, of
 Greenfield HilI with the addition of few
 pleasant words of brotherly regard. The charge to the people was presented by Rev.
 George P. Burroughs, the former pastor, who
 well knew the feelings and requirements of
 the people among whom he had resided so
 long, The church at Fairfield is to be con
 graduated in securing so favorable a gentle man as the Rev. MT. Bushnell to preside over them, and the unanimity with which the choice was made answers well for the future relations between pastor and people,

REPAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
Annual OverhauIing of the Executive


Annual Overhauling of the Executive
Mansion.
Owing to the Presidents residing in
Washington longer than usual this sum-
mer, says the Star, the customary over
hauling of the White House has been de-
layed somewhat. In view Of his early de-
parture, however, the work is being rap
idlY pushed to completion. All the car
pets have been taken up and cleaned, the
lambrequins and heavy curtains removed,
and the furniture draped in linen covers.
Large rolls of mating now stand in the
main corridor, to be placed upon the floor
Of the East room. WOrkmen were re-
Gently engaged IN taking apart two Of the
three monster crystal chandeliers OF the
East room. Each of these chandeliers
consists of nickel framework surrounded
by 5000 pendant crystals, and it is no
small work to dismember them and re-
store them correctly. Heretofore 1t has
been the custom to take them apart
every wear or so and thoroughly clean the
glass. This year, however. it is intended
to take down the nickeled framework
and send it to Philadelphia to be replated.
This has never been done since the cham
deliers were put up. in the third year or
President Grants first term. Only two
chandeliers are to be removed at present,
the north and south ones. Inc crystals as
they are removed are carefully packed in
sawdust in large wooden boxes. They
will remain there until the framework is
returned from Philadelphia, when the
glass pieces will be removed, carefully
cleaned. and restored to their proper
places. The central chandelier will re-
main, while the others are gone, to illU-
inmate the room in case of necessity, and
to serve az a model for recOnstructing the
others. 1t will then be taken down and
60 through the same course Of treatment.

Clinches Next Week.
The game yesterday between the pixies
and a picked nine was very poorly attend
ed. As might have been expected it was
a one-sided game, the Dixies winning by
a score Of 10 TO 4 IN innings. While the
picked nine played poorly, the DiXies did
some good work, and the practice they
got will be Of benefit TO them. Higgins,
Norton and Fitzgerald played well, and
the line catch Of MOnahan, enabling him
TO assist in a double play, was fine. The
batting of the DiXies was heavy, especi-
ally that of Norton, HOggins and Fltzger-

How it Was Spoiled by an Inquiring New
England Nose

I have not yet mentioned the object that
most interested me in the new acquisi-
lions Of the lady referred to in the CON-
mencement Of my letter, says a letter TO
the Chicago later Ocean. This was
small picture standing on q solid black
easel. The subject, in imitation Of Wat
teau, q miniature pastoral scene. in which
a eoluetish shepherdess in 8 miraculous
toilet OF pink and blue is smiling archly
at the elouded face Of her disconsolate
swain, the little lambs meantime nib
bling the green grass under the shade Of
spreading trees.
The drawing and colOTing was good, the
subject in itself pleasing, vet there was
something about the atmosphere Of the
picture most peculiar. Was it the rather
unusual effect Of a gray. misty back
ground into which the brighter e0IOrs
melted. and what was il that, while the
paint was delicately and smoothly laid
on, gave the figures and foliage an almost
padded appearance? Suddenly it struck
me there was something unusual about
the velyety sOftuess OF the groundwork
on which the picture was erected.
| asked nv hostess. and she replied: 4

but If YOU will guess correctly, without
touching, what the backing is composed
Of YOU shall take it home in your car
riage." Accepting the challenge. | ran
through all the list Of fabrics that knew
could hold oils, but without success.
To be brief, my guessing was OF no
avail, and l had TO be told that the mystic
rious picture was painted upon cobwebs.
That the process was known only to one
living man, a London artist, who by lay
ing on each corner successive cobwebs,
formed a sort of canvas strong enough to
withstand the light strokes OF his brush.

upon the acquisition to her collection. and
added: $50 rare and fragile curio should
be kept in a cabinet"
Yes, / have ordered a pretty little
affair Of glass and carved wood on pur-
pose for its preservation she replied.
Yesterday / met this same lady. She
looked sad: the reason was soon eX-
planned. MY dear, you had scarcely left
the other day when the wife and sister OF
Prof. s., OF Yale, came to call. In my
childish vanity / was displaying my new
knickknacks TO them, and, while | was
unfolding that kensingtOn figure IN Ia
pestry for Mrs. S, her sister-in-law, one
Of those large-bOned, angular, inquisitiYe
kind OF women, picked up my MOxon cob
web before / could speak, raised it 10 her
face. and, between her near-sightedness
and curiosity, ran her long, sharp, New

The heading Of our advertisement is
very appropriate when applied to our
trade, for there is constant war among
cl0thily dealers, especially this season of
the year. One will claim to do more than
the other. 1t is needless for us to say that
we are the cheapest and most popular
Clothiers in the city, for our past reputa-
