A Novel Ide0.

As trade in general seems to have departed
from it's legitimate channels, ]. Durant, the
Church street jsweler, as usual is up to the
times and is just organizing an association on
an entirely new and original principle. The
association will consist of 70 members, each
of whom will pay one dollar the first week.
Then a drawing takes place and the person
securing the lucky number receives an ele.
CANT gold Allied genteman's watch with fine
Waltham or Elgin movement, or a lady'f
solid gold watch with similar movement, for
the dollar he has paid, and gets an honorable
discharge from the association, which has nc
further claim on him. The second week the
50 remaining members pay in q dollar each
and the fortunate individual at the succeed
ing drawing gets his watch for the two dol
lars he has paid.
Then the system is carried on for thirty
| Eve weeks and the last week tho thirty-fvt
members who are still In the association will
receive their watches, so that none can bt
dissatisfied, for every watch is warranted tc
be full value for $35. This system has none
of the dement's which make the old watch
club drawings so unsatisfactory, and Mr.
Durant will be hailed as benefactor by
many who would like to have good watch
but could not afford to purchase it outright
and who would feel delicate about asking g
friend to guarantee them, as is required by
the manipulators of the old clubs when par
ties were considered by them to be personally
irresponsible. Mr.. Durant, being full be
lever in woman's rights, extends q cordia
invitation to the ladies of New Haven to joir
his watch association.

text taken from Acts, xvii, II. The subject
of his talk was "True Nobility"
There ID the so-called nobility Of blood,
which II more prevalent In England than in
this country. There il . nobility in high
birth, something that may justly cause, to
. certain extent, pride, but IL counts for
nothing II tho man be not noble otherwise.
Consider next the nobility Of wealth. The
natural course of wealth II downward, not
upward. II causes toll, WEAKNESS and
anxiety In taking care of II. II II. however,
danger that threatens our modern society.
These who make their wealth q blessing to
the world possess nobility in their money.
True nobility II being rising into grandeur
BY manifold activities. II IL In harmony
with God, the making the most Of ones self
for God and for mankind. For true nobility
life Without toll Is one not worth
the living. u ID not the profession
in life that makes the man

u not the work that makes the woman, but

A YEARS OBITUARY.

Rev. r. Il. Twitchell or Dwight Place
Church Reviews tho Death Record
efthe Past Year In His Passionate.
There was large congregation at Dwight
Place church yesterday morning to listen to
Rev DR.. T. E. Twitchell, the pastor, who re-
Gently returned from an extended trip In the
south. The altar was adorned with Gala
lilies and boquets. The pastor confined his
remarks to brief obituary notices of those
who had died since bis departure and also of
the departed enes in his parish who have
died during the past year. He chose bis
text from Isaiah xxxiii., II: '.Thine eye
shall see the king In his beauty, thou shalt
behold the land afar off,"
All those from this church who in it,
many years of history have left us, have al
ready seen the king In his beauty, said he.
They have behsld the far off land. No one of us
can forget these facts. Life, indeed, has
already shed it's golden beams upon them
Nine of our number passed from earth to
heaven between March, 80, and April, 80.
need not say to you that these are most
impressive facts. They should be consider
ed in their bearing upon our lives and the
church. There are voices in the chamber OF
death which all should hear and heed. It IL
not, then, strange that devote this service
to the loving memory of our departed ones.
Looking back over the history of the
church for the last twelve months, find
seventeen deaths. These included our be.
loved brothers, Judd and Highly, the first Of
whom died Saturday morning and the last
upon Friday morning.
In April q year ago we were called to
mourn the death of Miss May Warner and Of
Deacon Charles Fabrique. The latter was g
man who lived to see the institution of hil
founding recognized and blessed by the au-
thority Of the state. 1t Is the Industrial
School for Girls
On May 10, 1889, Mrs. Sophia Sterling
passed away, and on May 10 the parish wac
again called to mourn in the death of Mrs.
Nancy A. Warner. Merritt T. Bryan fell
asleep In the fellowship of Jesus
on bright Sunday morning, the I'd of June.
On the next day Mrs. Eliza J. Christie passed
away. Miss Julia A. Townsend died on thu
Both of the same month. Edward Blakeslee
died on December .. He had been . mem
Der Of the church since 1872. Mrs. Clarissa
e. Murray died on the 9Th of the same
month. No deaths occurred thence till
March, 1890, during which there were 6. Or
March Charles 81. Gardner died at the agt
of twenty.fv yeare. On the 9th died Mrs
Amelia P. Merwip, lady to whom is due
above all others the repairs which were made
in the church three years ago. Joseph Ar
mold Plat died soon after and on the 2Sr6
of the same month died James Drew, jr
Edward s. Reed died on the 9th and Henry
o. Beach on the 31st. Last Friday the par,
ish was called to mourn the death of Edward
w. Highly and on the following day George
w. Judd passed into the realms of thu
future.
The music at the service was especially
fine. Miss Sadie Bright takes Miss MAJ
Mansdeld's place for few Sundays. Mrs
Sherwood S. Thompson sang an exquisit,
selo during the service.
