Mrs Thomas Keane.

We chronicle another death among Newtown's older inhabitants, Mary Lil- lis, wife of Thomas Keane of Cold Spring. A complication of chronic troubles was the cause of her death. She had been a sufferer for years, though no alarming symptoms were developed until a week before her death. Mrs Keane was a na- tive of county Clare, Ireland, and leaves a husband and three children, Patrick, Mary, wife of Dennis Grove and Miss Nora. She also leaves two brothers, Patrick and Michael Lillis and more dis tant relatives who will miss one who was known as woman of kind heart and one devoted to her family and the church.

Putnam Councils First Annual.

The first annual promenade concert and ball of Putnam council, Knights of No. 54, attracted large and fashionable audience to the Town hall Tuesday evening. The hall presented a brilliant spectacle, being scarcely recognizable in it's wealth of beautiful decorations. The profuse display of bunting, hanging in graceful curves from the center of the ceiling and eX- tending to the walls, where they formed circles around various flags and em-
 blems and thence to the chandeliers, where they were tastefully entwined, caused the hall to resemble large expo sUion building. The view from the front of the stage was magnificent and the general verdict was that the hall never was more tastefully or elaborately trim med. Over 550 yards of bunting were supplied by Merchant l.. B. Booth. The design and execution of the trimming was exclusively under the management of Patrick Gannan, and much credit Is due him. The work shows much taste on the part of the artist. The Standard orchestra of Danbury. George E. Ives leading, discoursed soul stirring music. The festivities began shortly after 9 with few choice selections from the orchestra. Over l25 couple were present. About 3.30, the grand march began, led by Grand Conductor John +. Houlihan and Miss Kate E.
 Leavey, assisted by M.F. Blake and Miss Lillie E. Gaffney. The participants in the march presented sight pleasing to the beholder and it was neatly executed.
 The scintillations of the various lights and the beautiful costumes of the ladies as they performed the various revolutions on the floor was spectacle to be remem- bered. After the march, dancing was indulged in, Prof Biddiscombe calling the figures. Shortly after midnight, an elaborate supper was served at Grand Central and it is needless to say that Landlord IIoulihan fully sustained his reputation as caterer for occasions like this. M. J. Houlihan, F. Gannan and J. E. Houlihan composed the reception committee. Floor committee Frank Me Gran, M. J. Bradley, NJ. Talty, P. T. Mccarthy, J. J. Norton, F. J. Bradley. Executive committee: NJ. Tierney, F. Ready, J. l.. Bailey, D. II. Keane, F. Mccarthy, NJ. Donohue, NJ. II. Brennan, simon Corey, M. Blake, J. McNamara, T. F. Riley. The affair was pronounc- ed success and the festivities came to a close at a late hour in the morning. All honor to the Knights of Columbus.

One hundred and seventy-five children also received their first communion and were all II years old or over and had been diligently instructed in the cate chism by Fathers Donohue and Kennedy. At the afternoon service, when they were confirmed, Bishop McMahon spoke to them, reminding them that they were no longer boys and girls, but men and women of the church and should ev- CT remember their duty to the church and to God. To the older members, he said that they should begin the new year aright. with hearts mindful of the goodness of God and the unfaltering
 manner in which they should serve Him.

In the death of Mrs II. T. Nichols, q two short years have passed since a kind and loving husband and father was taken from it, making sad, not only the hearts of his family, but of whole community. That home of kindly hos pitality and cheer is no more, but the abode of tender memories. Mrs Nichols was of d kindly and loving nature, frank and generous to a fault, ever ready to help and assist where aid was needed. For two years, she had been in impaired health and strength and suffered much from nervous derangcment and prostr;l- tiOn, which resulted ill enlargement of the heart, the ultimate cause of her death. Many friends, besides her fam companionship. She rests in peace. wcll.-[T. $.

 Gone home Gone hone! She fingers here

 A restless pilgrim, walking painfully, With homesck longing, daily growing strong,

 And ycarning visions of the joys to be. Gone home! Gone home! Her earnest, active

 Her very playtulness, her heart of love! The heavenly mansion now she doth inherit, Which Christ mnds ready ere she went

Success is always commendable. Its friends will appreciate the fact that only one year and six months ago the above company started New Store without a dollars worth of trade in Bridgeport. To-day it is the Largest, best stocked Store in the city, having more than four times the amount of Teas on hand. Their sales have con- stantly increased, being now over three and nearly four times greater than they were little over five months ago, (then under other man. agement).
