DEDICATION AT ST. THOMAS.

The New Chapel for ParochiaI Uses
 Its Brief HiHtory-Bishop Williams
 Breaches.
 The new parochial chapel of St. Thomas church was dedicated yesterday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies and in the presence of large congregation of parish toners.
 The simple Episcopal service was ren- dered in the church, during which Rev. Dr. Besrdsley, the pastor, gave brief history of the new chapel. He said that at the annual parish meeting on Easter Monday of 1888, authority was given the vestry of St. Thom- as church to negotiate for the erection of a chapel suitable to the wants of the church. The building committee appointed was com posed of Jon E. Earle, Dr. c. A. Lindsley and F. H. Sperry. Bonds were secured and contracts entered into. The cornerstone was laid by Bishop Williams on Monday, May 21, at four o'clock. The $5,476 con- tract covered everything but furniture. Candalabra, windows. cushions, library books and their furnishings had been kindly given by interested persons. There were ffty-one subscribers, the amounts ranging from $5 to $1 ,000 each. The total subscrip- tions was $6, ,8s5. The names of the sub- ecr1DerS WILL Do pEoSortou III Iuo drcA1Fos OI the parish. The church is now with chancel arrangements second to none in equipment in the diocese.
 After the ceremonies in the church the congregation proceeded to the new chapel where the dedicatory exercises were briefly conducted by Bishop Williams. He said that never before had he seen year where so many chapels of this kind he had been call- ed upon to dedicate in the diocese, and drew from this an argument that the power of God and the Christianity of man was increas- ing.
 In speaking of the great good that the chapel was the means of and continued: The sod of man came not to be ministered to but to minister. Here we may follow the foot steps of our Lord. Ministrations are the noblest works of man. To minister to others by the holy means of grace appointed by his church is great mission. There are many ministrations which never can be measured in value or influence. Such is the impor- tance of such a building as this. 1 am glad to see them all over the land. They put us upon the track of our redeemer, and are continual remembrance of his love and humanity to man.

HELD BY THE ENEMY.

"Held by the Enemy" William Gillette's delightful play and his greatest, will be the attraction at the Hyperion tonight. Mir. Gillette himself will enact the part of the newspaper correspondent. Miss Minnie Du- pree is with the company, and "Sussn McCreery" she gives one of the best pieces of comedy acting known to the stage. The Boston Globe says: "The author has so skill fully interwoven and so equally divided the honors between the "blue and the grey" that whether in New Orleans or Boston the play meets a hearty reception. The company that presents this stirring drama is strong and evenly balanced one."
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Miss Kate Purssell will be at the Grand the first of the week in the romantic Vest ern drama, "Queen of the Plains" The New York World says: ''The Windsor Thea ter was literally packed last evening to wit ness the sensational and romantic drama, Queen of the Plains, /" and from the hearty and abundant applause bestowed on the pro- duction it can be safely accorded at metro politan success. The play was handsomely staged, one or two senes being particularly effective, and Kate Purssell in the various roles pertaining to her character met with immediate favor" In the Museum hall will be the monster serpent twenty-five feet long and Prof. Angelos with his performing birds
 THE TWO SISTERS.
 "The Two Sisters" by Denman Thompson and George W. Ryer, play that is a com panion picture to 1.-The Old Homestead,', will be produced at the New Haven Opera House the last three days of this week. The authors say it has been noted that the stage has better facilities than the pulpit for preaching sermons, and liberal clergymen and their followers recognize the fact that the stage, when used for the purpose of teaching useful lessons, is a worthy assistant. ssThe Old Homestead" breaches temperance sermon and keeps alive homo memories. tThe Two Sisters'' is lesson to the thought less young of both sexes. That's all. They claim nothing more for 1t.
 PROF. BRIsToL's EoUEscuRR1cULUM. At the Hyperion Theater, beginning We'd nesday and continuing four nights, Professor D. M Bristol's trained ponies and mules will be present and give their wonderful exhibia tions. It is only necessary to say that the exhibition given is a most wonderful one. The animals understand what is said to them with an intelligence that is almost hu- man. In fact no such horses were ever seen before, and no one should fail to visit the opera house during the time the eques- curriculum is in this city.

 Iera.
 Hartford's weather p.ophet predicts eleven days of fair weather between the 1st and 14th days of this month, and storm between the 14th and 18th.
 The nice weather thus far this month has been very pleasing to most people. Every body remarks "what fine weather this is, " ''What remarkably fine winter weather "Did you everi" "No, never" "It beats all." Old inhabitants say they never remem- ber as mild winter. Rev. MT. Paine, of the Four Corner church, who has spent sev- eral winters in Florida, says this winter weather has been more enjoyable than any Florida winter weather in his experience.
 Yesterday the weather being so sunny and fine East Rock Park was quite lively with visitors. There have been more visitors to the rock this winter than was ever known before. The woods in their winter dress and the meadows brown and sere are yet very at tractive to lovers of nature. Ladies out church going or promenading were numerous yesterday afternoon on the avenues. The brief snow equall at o'clock sent a few home ward in hurry, but the sun soon broke through the banks of dark clouds, and sun shine reiQned again.

Common Law and Divorce.

CHICAGO, August 3.-Judge Tuley to.
day rendered a decision on the some.
what noted common law marriage case
of Bowman VS.. Bowman. Frank Bow.
man is we'll known lawyer of st. Louis,
and Ida NJ. Bowman sued him for divorce
claiming common law marriage. The
verdict was in her favor, at the end OF a
long and sensational trial. Lawyer Bow.
man moved for new trial, and it was
this action on which the decision was
rendered today. After reviewing the
case the Court announced that he would
grant q new trial on the condition that
Bowman would purge himself of the
odium of his position, he being in the
contempt of the Court for not paying
back the alimony and solicitors fees. He
must do this by October 1st, or the Court
would everrule the motion for a new
trial, enter decree of divorce according
to the verdict Of the jury, and let plain
tiff take judgment for the amount due
her. Mrs. Bowman claims to believe
that the back alimony will not be paid
and that on this account client will get
her decree.
