There can be no question raised as to the necessity of n dry goods store in any com munity. It is a sort of educator-a centre around which thrifty people like to gather. W. B. Hall & Co.'S. is such q centre and a wis itor to Bridgeport has not seen the town un- til after a stroll there. To be sure, the out ward appearance Of the store does not strike the stranger, as size and loftiness are not features, but the investigator will find more on a single floor and five times as much far down below the sidewalk would serve to pack full as many ordinary dry goods stores. In this regard, outward appearances are de- ceitful. But call for anything in the dress goods line manufactured on earth, and the clerk addressed will instantly produce it and the price will be found right. Silks dress silks predominate. New textures, weaves and tints abound and the mystery about all is, where so many exquisite exam pies are obtained, a description of those now offered would fail to give more than an idea of their superb character. Genteel garments, ready made, for ladies are, as warm weather approaches, attracting attention, and added to these the latest fads in parasols, kid gloves, sateens, wool dress goods and hundreds of hitherto unheard of novelties make a display creditable to the proprietors and to the city which it embellishes.

A busy firm.

"What do you do with so much wall paper" William Healy X Co. as their big wagon drove away from the Rosedale wharf loaded with bundles.
 "Come over to the store and will show you," was the reply. The advice was acted upon. At the fine salesrooms of the firm, cor ner ot Fairfield avenue and Water streets,ev- cry one was found to be busy. It did not look much like dull times and poor trade spoken of six months ago.
 I've were never hanging so much paper as at present" said MT Cole, "and we are selling quantities that we do not hang, especially on cheap stock. The break in the manufactur- CTS pool has reduced prices, consequently we buy for less money and propose to give our customers the benefit. All our prices are re- duced with the exception of the hand made goods, which are designed by special artists and these we have to pay for. Then there is our stock of Lincrusta Walton, which is grow ing in favor more and more every year. This year We have kept a man almost continually hanging that alone"
 The firm, composed of William Healy, WE. Healy, Charles M Cole, has an enviable record as fine decorative painters. The front show room is devoted to paints, brushes and gener al painters and artists supplies. sherwin Williams ready mixed paints and Butchers Boston polish for hard wood floors are advo cated by the firm.-[Standard.

Mrs Edward T. Clark.

Seldom is community more shocked than when the tidings went abroad on the afternoon of Saturday, May 1, that Mrs Edward Clarke was dead. The week before Easter, she had very sudden at tack of illness, which she herself and some of her friends feared nearly pro- duced shock of apoplexy; but she had so far recovered her usual health that she had that forenoon been attending to her household duties and MT Clarke had resumed his daily work. Her brother, H. H. Peck, had been gone from there only few minutes, when, about 12 30 o'clock, she called in distress to c. B. Johnson and, in few moments, lapsed into inconsistencies. Dr Smith, her hus- band and relatives were hastily summon ed, but neither medical aid nor the plead ings of deepest love availed to stay the hand of Death. She died at 3 o'clock.
 Not for her do we now grieve, but rather rejoice that our Heavenly Father has spared her the pain of wasting, lin- gering disease; but for the bereaved hus- band, to whom she was all, for the aged mother who has so often had need of her loving care, for the brother and sister and for the large company of friends who, one and all, testify to the useful ness and loveliness of her character. We know that she went not alone into the dark valley, for Jesus had been her life long companion and He, we are sure, was with her and she had no need to be afraid. The greatassemblage of friends, Tuesday, May z, at the pleasant but now desolate home, testified to their sym. pathy with the bereaved and their re- | spect and affection for the departed | Flowers, which she so passiOnately lov
 ed, were lavishly brought to beautify hel last resting place beside the little boy
 from whom, to part years ago, was likt the rending asunder of soul and body
 In the Paradise of God, we trust they art now united. Rev A. P. Chapman, hel beloved friend and rector of St. Johns church, Sandy Hook, Officiated and th' choir of St. Johns church chanted tn, responses in the burial anthem; sweet

Gratefully Acknowledged.

Rev Mir Clarkson, for some years in charge of the missionary work at East over, s. C., died about the lst of April and the following grateful acknowledg- ment of the clothing sent him, for the poor children of the mission, by the la dies of Trinity parish has been received from his widow:
 EAsToyER, April 30, 1889.
 REV G. NJ. WILKINS: Dear Sir-The barrel of clothing for the children of my school reach ed here on Saturday in good order and most little boy will be enabled to attend Sunday school all Summer, who would otherwise have had to stay away. Those are just the kind of clothes need, strong and plain. Most particularly was I glad for that barrel, first because it was unexpected and, therefore, a surprise and also because, tho have reeeiv- ed several other boxes, this was the only one for boys and have quite as many, and more, boys than girls. After school today, had them fitting themselves and, if the ladies could have seen the happy faces, they would have been repaid for the not very pleasant task of sewing on these coarse garments. One little boy, who found handkerchief in the pocket of his pants, just smiled all over. Oul l apart and school house, but it is our great desire to have industrial boarding schools SC | that the children can be taken from their pres | ent miserable surroundings and where muci of the good they learn with us is lost among 1 so much evil. use the plural, because, tho MT Clarkson has left me, we worked together so much that our very thoughts had become one and he never seems far away. Many many times we have planned together how i should all be done and but for want of means 1 these schools would have been an accom- plished fact. Rev E. N. Joyner, whom tn, bishop has appointed to take charge Of tn. entire colored work in this, the center Of tn, diocese, including this mission, has entered warmly into this plan and we hope yet to nc I complish it. The chapels and school hous are Mir Clarkson's monuments,for he wrougl
 with his own hands for their building. Bu these schools will be his memorial MT Joy

Eliza Burr Peterson,

Died, in Bedding, Eliza Burr, wife of George Henry Peterson, aged 45 years and f months. Mrs Peterson contracted a severe cold, last Fall, which soon de- veloped into quick consumption and, though her sickness was Lst painful, yet she gradually wasted and grew weaker until, Saturday, May 4, Gods finger touched her and she slept. With simply trustful, childlike faith, she passed into the paradise of God. Though Ter sur roundings were not always such as she would have chosen, yet she seemed ever striving to do the best that her circum- stances would allow.
 'sThe dear Lords best interpreters
 Are humble human souls;
 The Gospel of a life like hers
 Is more than books or scrolls.n The funeral was attended at the Con- gregational church, Bedding, Monday afternoon. Rev MT Jennings, who had been to her T true and faithful pastor and had visited her humble home constantly during her last sickness, spoke earnest words of warning and consolation to the living and paid a beautiful tribute to the memory of the departed. No costly piece of florists art was there, but prec- ious flowers which had been cherished in the window-gardens of fthoughtful friends adorned the casket. The church choir sang sweetiy, 70 Mother Dear, Jerusa- lem" Many colored people and good ly number of white people who, through Eliza's simple manners and many ami able qualities had learned to love her followed to the old cemetery, there t6 lay the poor form away amid the dust ol ages, trusting in
 ,l "An Eternal Good which overlies The sorrow of the world, Love which outIive l All sin and wrong, Compassion which tor gives
 , To the nttermost, and Justice whose clear eye Through lapse and failure look to the intent And judge our frailty by the life we meant"

In the Superior court at Bridgeport, Tuesday, Mary E. Turner was granted a divorce from Albert Turner. The custo- dy of minor child Carrie, about eight years old, who has been with her mother since the separation, some time ago) was given Mrs Turner, who also receives S3000 alimony. The divorce was grant ed on the grounds of intolerable cruelty and MT Turner withdrew the counter charges of adultery, which he had al legged in his complaint. Mrs Turner's name remains unchanged and she will probably continue to reside with her fa- ther, Edwin Hodge of New Fairfield.

The Newtown correspondent of the Waterbury American says that Newtown hotel keepers and citizens are angry be- cause it is understood that the New York and Housatonic limited express trains are to run by way of the Danbury and Norwalk road, this season, benefiting Norwalk and Danbury, but leaving New town on branch road. The article adds that M. J. Houlihan of the Grand Cen tral will be obliged to close his immense hotel and retire from business, if the ex- presses are to run on the Danbury & Norwalk. "The proprietor of the other hotel tells the same story" adds the cor respondent, who says that Newtown de- pends largely upon the Summer boarders for sustenance and that deadly blow is being struck at it's principal source of revenue. Mir Houlihan says that he is not aware that he has held any conver- sation with an American representative and is inclined to think that he can do business, even if a certain train does not run. This express was stopped at New town, during the latter part of last seas on, after MT Houlihan and others had presented the case to Col Stevenson. It was a great convenience, landing passen- gers at Newtown nearly an hour and a half earlier than the mail train. It was then well patronized by Newtown tray elers and would be still more in the height of Summer journeying. Mir Houl
 than says, 'sIf the train is to run or another road, that ends it; but if it pass
 es Newtown. we want it to stop here."
