The Russell Reception.

The hospitable and spacious home Of
Mr. and Mrs. q. B. Russell, on Church
street, was the scene of another bril-.
liant social event, the reception of Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. +. Russell, last Friday
evening. The handsome home was
brilliantly illuminated I'm every depart
ment and made even more hOspitable
and pleasant by the spirit of good
cheer which beamed upon the hun
dreds Of happy faces of those who were
present to offer congratulations to the
happy couple. Mr.. and Mrs. Russell
occupied the north bay window, and
accepted the honors of the evening
with charming grace and composure.
Guests were ushered from the recep-
ton room to the adjoining parlors,
where they enjoyed social pleasures of
tho evening, but the unpropitious
weather denied them the pleasures and
abandon of the lawn. Although the
assemblage was estimated by the hun
dreds the parlsrs of the residence, with
its spacious additions just completed,
proved ample, and while the hostess
has been the moving spirit In many
brilliant social events, none have ex-
ceeded in perfection of detail and graf.
flying results that of Friday evening.
At an appropriate hour sumptuous
supper composed Of choice viands and
dainties of the culinary art was served
in plentitude, after which the company
passed the evening in social pleasures.
Mr.. Russell and bride, pee Miss Clara
Burdick have wide acquaintance, and
the latter during the years of her resi-
dencc here was always social favorite,
willing and active in promoting the
interest of social life in the community.
Their popularity and the universal es-
TEEN in which they are held has been
expressed in the happy and cordial
manner in which they were received.
They were the recipients of numerous
and valuable presents from immediate
friends, which were displayed at the
adjoining residence of Mrs. Agnes
Stotts on the evening of the reception.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell will immedi-
ately commence housekeeping i'm the
Cochran residence on the west side of
Church street.

WebI Haven TO be Hen0red ON fhe
state Ticket This Fall.

Went Haven to be Henored ON the
State Ticket This Fail.
Rumor reports that our little neighbol
West Haven will furnish man for second
place on the Republican State ticket this
fall. He is no other than Senator Graham,
and great plans are already afoot to roll
back the usual Democratic majority in New
Haven by the popularity of his name. The
Seventh senatorial district lie said to favor
him to man, and ex-Msyor Bulkelsy Of
Hartford has approved the choice. In fact,
several of Mr.. Bulkeley's friends are said to
have taken steps of late to secure this nomi-
nation.
The character of Mr.. Graham politically
Ia clean, and il in favor with Democrats and
Republicans alike. In the canvass for the
Seventh district senatorship he polled from
200 to 800 votes ahead of his ticket. His
opponent vas Royal III. Bassstt of Birming-
ham, an excellent candidate and one hard to
defeat. Mr.. Graham's plurality over him
was sos. Nc such victory was ever won by
q Republican candidate in this district. The
Senator is relied on to lift tidal wave in
these parts by his stauncn reputation with
business and ali classes.
It il generally thought that the choice of
Secretary of STATE will be given to Litchfeld
county. She has sacrificed herself repeated
" for the party's good. Fairfield has had
enough for while in Governor Lounsbury.
The other nominations will probably go to
the eastern counties.
