If the Wyoming bill should fail of pass
age during the pre- sent session OF congress
it will be due entirely to the action of the
Republican party. They have juVgled
the bill until it has become purely a polIti-
cal issue bet the parties. The
Washington correspondent of the Omaha
Bee telePraphs that the Wyoming and
Idaho bills will 20 through as politi-
cal measures. This issue they have
forced for the purpose of strengthening
the party fences here. Wyoming will not
be allowed TO come 10 under any other
circumstances Instead OF passing the
house by a bare majority, which did not
begin to represent the voting strength, it
might have passed with an overwhelming
vote in Its favor, without arousing any an
tagonism and with a strong feeling OF
friendship prevailing for it everywhere.
The scheme which is now in operation is
a very Eeat one and so far il has worked
very successfully, but Delegate Carey
should be very careful or he may work i,
too fine.

Dr.Vagles&c Co.

We offer no apology for devo ing so much
time and attention 10 this much neglected
class Of Diseases, believing that no condition
of humanity is too wretched to merit the SYM
pathy and best service OF the profession to
Mhlch we belong, as many are Innocent sur
ferers, and that the physician who devotes
himsel1 TO relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, Is no less "A
philantrophist and beneiactor TO his race than
the surgeon or physician who by close applL
cation excels In any other branch Of his pro
iession- And, fortunately for humanity, the
day is dawning when the false PHILANTHROPY
that condemned the victims OF folly or crime,
like the lepers under the Jewish law to die
uncared for, has passed away.

 So thoroughly has the old Merwin house been rebuilt, repaired and refitted that there is scarcely a vestige of the former hotel left and even townspeople hardly recognize, in the handsome hotel which George A. Wells calls St. Mares, the former Merwin. The hotel was for mally opened to the public, Saturday night, and the wealthy citizens of Fair field, with many from Bridgeport and elsewhere, were invited to inspect the hotel. They were courteously shown over the building by Mir Wells, who, al- though 76 years old, is active and ener- getic and who takes pride in his elegant ly appointed hotel. On the exterior, the building has been frightened and polish ed generally, but the noticeable feature is the largeaEag addition on the north, rising to the tuii height of the building and containing many well ap- pointed rooms. Once inside, however, the visitor finds an absolute change, even to the smallest articles; all are new and bright and the equipments are said, by gentleman interested in the Windsor, New York, to be equal to those of that hotel.

sociation. Notwithstanding the extreme heat, Cooks hall was filled with about l50 people. In act first, where Mrs Ma son was continually rasping her husband,
 Floyd's entreating and finally threaten- ing Dot to marry him and again the part
 where Aunt Hap compelled Ebony ito down on his kness and scrub up that ag ond, the conversation between Dot and
 her father, the pleading tones and pa l thetic look, as she sat at his feet gazing up into his face, listening to the revela- tion of his crime, was q most touching
 scene, well portrayed. Again, the diff
 fcult role of tragedy was ably filled in
 the scene where the attempt was made to
 carry Winnifred away to New York be- fore the wedding. Then followed the
 constant striking of the clock, when Mir
 and Mrs Mason, as well as Aunt Hap and Ebony appeared in robes de chambre,
 thinking the clock was bewitched. The
 kitchen scene was transformed to love l ly parlor, adorned with flowers, potted
 plants, palms, etc., under the skillful hand of Mrs Margaret Booth. The we'd
 ding scene was beautifully represented l in act third. The last act comprised the
 meeting of George Clifton and wife, af-
 ter many years absence. The avowal of love between Herbert and Winnifred
 was we'll enacted, also a pleasing part of
 the program was the fine selections of instrumental music rendered between the
 acts by Frederick Turney and daughter I and Louis Wakelee of Long Hill. The
 receipts cannot be determined until after the meeting of the association.

SOUTHPORT.
THE GREAT ENcAMrMENr

Opened successfully, Tuesday afternoon. For several days before, large force of men had been at work erecting tents, laying floors, putting up trapeze, etc. The day was fair and large attendance present, including visitors from New York city, the neighboring towns and Bridgeport. About 25 bicyclists came in from Bridgeport. The grounds were decked with Japanese lanterns and light ed by gasoline torches, making gay appearance. The Southport cornet band added much to the enjoyment of the oc- casion. The ladies' bazaar, under large tent, was one of the chief objects. The booths were tastefully draped with bunt- ing and trimmed with greens. It was well patronized. Next was the dancing pavilion, where stringed orchestra was kept at work making music for many im- patient feet. The sight reminded many of m English village. In the ring, some ladder balancing was good. The club swinging of Edward Bennetto was really fine and he received deserved applause. Ice cream and lemonade were under the charge of the ladies and sold rapidly, as did the soda water. The Japanese vil- lage and Sanford's girl orchestra on the top floor Of the hall are we'll worth vis- It. The Japs make many things by means of tools which seem antiquated to Amer jeans. The orchestra composed of girls is excellent. They are very proficient on all kinds of musical instruments and also sing well. Many of the leading citizens have had their bumps examined by the phrenologist on the first floor. The shooting gallery was kept well filled dur. ing the evening.

 Rev II. Davies preached to large au- dience in the Congregational church, last Sunday. His subject was, "Duty and inclination Among other things the speaker said that duty was the toughest word in the English lan' guage." What made duty hard was sin If there had been no sin, duty would be synonymous with privilege. In conse, quence, however, of sin, the path of duty was one of crosses, path whose stage! were not marked by triumphal arches but by crosses, symbols of suffering But sin is not irresistible. In the speak
 
 definite acts of wrong doing, but of Ger tain fundamental states of feeling, whicl have been induced by long habit. w do not, therefore, need to pray to be de livered from sin so much as from tn thraldom of habit, from our plight to sin Christ alone could make duty a pleasure Self deuial for his sake transfgures it To follow him was to reap the richest re ward of life. In closing, the preache said that the man who became Christ ian for the sake of escaping hell and no from the inherent good there was in tn Christian life lacked the right motive To be Christian is it's own reward. T' do the will of God made every one brother and sister of the Christ. Obedi ence was the organ through which thi high title could be obtained.
