A GROWING INDUSTRY.

A GROWING INDUSTRY. Three Stores Now Occupied by Brown
 & Durham-NevE Styles in Furni-
 ture.
 The extensive furniture and house fur nishing business which Messrs. Brown & Durham started one year ago in the large building known as the "Temple of Furni- ture" has recently grown to such propor- tions that two more stores have lately been added to the large space that was previous ly occupied by the firm. The large store on Orange street formerly occupied by the New Haven Window Shade company and the store on Center street are now connect ed with the main floor of the teTemple of Furniture. Although this addition to the space required by the firm was considera- ble, it was not adequate to the demands of their business and consequently another floor was added to what was formerly Loomis' Temple of Music. Galleries were added to this hall last season. These have recently been altered into floor which furnishes large space, which is covered with handsome furniture.
 Five floors and an attic are now we'll stocked with the goods of the firm, which comprise nearly everything required for house furnishing.
 During the past year the firm have been very successful in business, and much of their success is attributed to the fact that all the goods are marked in plain figures. This style of marking goods is very satis- factory to customers and has proved very beneficial to other firms.
 It is evident that the members of the firm take justifable pride in their exten- sive business. which started on a large scale and hss grown considerably larger. The proprietors take pleasure in showing visitors through the show rooms. In the basement can be found nearly everything in the crockery line. Dining sets are speciality. Earthen, wooden and tinware and refrigerators are also in this department.
 The main floor is largely devoted to chamber suits, of which there are in this l room nearly sixty different patterns. On one of the upper floors is another collec- | tion of chamber suits that is equally as large and of many different styles. The folding beds with level plate mirror are handsome. On the second floor is full line of carpets, including moguets, wiltons, | body brussels, tapestry and ingram, and a large assortment of curtains. On the next floor is an attractive display of fancy chairs, bed lounges, divans and conyersa- tion chairs.
 Roll-top desks, pictures in water colors, pastel and etching, and many unique and ornamental articles may be found in the extensive furniture stock

R11ILDA CHURCH.

East Side Meth O dists Will Have New
 Twelve Thousand Dollar House Of
 Worship at the Four Corners-Now
 Hoping to Dedicate 1t Free of
 Debt.
 The new church edifce for the east side Methodists at Four Corners, the building of which will soon be begun, will cost, ex- elusive of land, some S10,000 or S12, 900. Of this sum s5 ,000 was the kind and gen. erous gift of MT. H. H. Benedict, the wholesale and whole-souled coal merchant, who resides summers in his beautiful and handsomely situated residence on Beacon Hill and has long been kind friend to the society. The people of the church are very happy, having now nearly S10, ,000, including Mr. Benedict's gift, subscribed or promised for the new church and hav- ing thus good grounds to expect that their coming new church will be dedicated free of debt.
 Rev J. w. Beach preached at the East Side Methodist church Sunday morning. After the service the pastor, Rev. A. J. Smith, received thirteen probationers into
 full membership in the church. This
 society has more than trebled its member ship in two years. The present chapel if | far too small to accommodate the congre | gation.
 At the quarterly conference held Sun | day afternoon H. H. Benedict, Rev. A. J I Smith and Carlos Grannis were appointed
 a building committee. The work will b. ] pushed forward rapidly, and on the ruini l of the old hotel at the Four Corners vii
 be erected a fine brick church.

 tional lectures and purposes, in harmony with the design and work of the library, and devoted to public uses, there would seem to be nothing inconsistent with these purposes and uses in the method proposed.
 But we would draw the especial attention of your honorable body to the provision in the contract in question, by which it is agreed that if for any reason the contract should prove burdensome or unsatisfactory the board of directors of the library pos sess the right and authority upon one years notice to require the historical so- books and other property from the library building This provision will enable the present or any subsequent board to relieve the library and the public from any possi- ble burden or inconvenience which might possibly arise from the arrangement en- tered into <~~.
 As to the admission into the public library building of books and other effects of the Historical society being in subver- sion to the uses and purposes for which this building was purchased and designed, we would respectfully represent that in the opinion of this board said admission is in entire harmony with the purpose and intent of the public library. The additions lIOh tI1S BOaTCe are ouuC6C1OQ8l scope. purpose and tendency and for popular use without restriction or hindrance other than that necessary for. their. proper care and preservation will not be denied that if these books and pamphlets had been purchased by, and now belonged to the public library, they would form an invaluable part of it's equipment and, as we have said before, had the library ample means at hand, many of them would be secured, if possi- ble. Then why, being placed at the dis posal of the library and the public, freely and without cost, is their use less valual Ie to the public, or their presence in the building less in accordance with Its. pur-, poses, than if purchased as aforesaid ,.. So long as the historical mem orials, paintings, etc., occupy room not required for more important purpose, there would seem to be no objection to their presence. The saving of rent to the Historical society or to its members, is of no consideration

the world, is under the irrigation system
