My mission here was not to become an
intermeddler with other mems affairs, to
interfere in your legal business customs,
to determine who, should teach your
schools, to issue orders for the election
of thew committees" and not to become
so previous" as to run before was
called. My mission here is to preach
1.-THE glorious gospel of the blessed God,"
and as much as in me lies to wipe away
the tears of the mourners, take the thorn
from the pillow of the unfortunate and
bring rays of light from the face of
Christ to every darkened heart and home
and, if possible, to make your village
more virtuous and Christian, and your
citizens more distinguished for Christ
like manhood and womanhood. For the
accomplishment of these purposes, L ear
nestly solicit the hearty cooperation and
prayers of all the churches and individ-
ual Christians of the place and that my
plans may need no concealment or decep-
tive modifications.-[Re Rev B. A. Gilman,
pastor of the M. E. church, in Chronicle.
r., ,laoos tbo e+ono ,rou, re .bo roox,
sion at Breakwater have risen nearly to
the required height, while at other
points they are yet many feet below the
finishing course. A larger force of men
is now employed, both carpenters and
masons and it is the intention of the su-
perintendent, s. D. P. Williams, to en-
close the entire structure as rapidly as
possible. Already the barn is rooted
and partly shingled and the roof timbers
of the rear of the house are raised. AS
the building approaches completion, the
outlines become more apparent and the
design of Architect Wilson Eyre is un-
folded with increasing clearness. The
artesian well is not a success, no water
having been found and the drills being
fast at depth of 100 feet. Water for
the masons is still brought from Mill
river. Though the interior of the house
will not be completed for some time, the
following description of it as it will APP
pear when finished has been prepared
and will be found interesting:
The entrance hall is about 10 feet square
and is paved with rough mosaic and wains-
coted in curly birch to a height of six feet.
Communication is afforded by private hall
and stairway with the kitchen and subsidiary
departments, while q double sliding door
opens into the main hall or living room. This
great room Is in the heart of the house and
from it the library, the parlors, the dining
room and the den or snuggery, open. Atone
end, occupying 15 feet of wall space, is a huge
fire place; at the south, or sea end, rises the
main stairway, of easy tread and frequent
landings. AT height OF six feet, the stairway
sweeps across this end of the hall, swelling in
to bay of considerable depth, with windows
of crystal sweeping ee-fifths ofthe horizon.
To the northeast, the entrance to the harbor,
Point Breeze. Penfield reef and light and the
broad Sound; to the east and south, the brok-
en- and irregular shores of Long Island; to the
south and southwest, the narrowing Sound,
Norwalk islands, Sasco head, terminating in
SaSco beach and glimpse of Green's Farms.
Beneath the gallery and partly enclosed by
the stairway is the snuggery. or family re-
treat, with its cosy fire place and low seat
curying round the bay window. From the
foot OF the stairway, glance upward reveals
the exposed ratters of the root reaching to the
peak, while the beams, exposed by four beau
tiful columns, are similarly exposed in the
main hall. The finish here is San Domingo
mahogany. The library is finished In syca
more, the parlor in curly birch and the dining
room in English oak. The second floor rooms
are arranged en- suite with both rooms adjoin-
ing; the family bath comprising great Rom
an bath OF solid porcelain, sitz bath, a need
lie and shower bath and various other modern
luxuries. The several bath and toilet rooms
are wainscoted in Italian marble and the
floors are of mosaic, while all the plumbing
fixtures are exposed and plated with silver.
In the basement, accessible from the snug
gerry, is the billiard room, designed in Eliza
bethan style, with high wainscot of old Eng
lish oak and window set high In the south
wall, opposite lofty chimney place in red
brick and oaken panels.
