George NJ. Pullman, who recently
unveiled the fine monument he has
erected upon the spot of the Fort
Dearborn massacre, is one of the
most public-spirited as well as one of
the richest citizens of Chicago. You
don't see his name in the list of
chairmen of reform meetings and
Worlds Fair congresses; neither do
you hear of him in political circles:
but it is doubtful whether there is
any other man in the city who fights
more vigorously and effectually the

now going up at Passaic, about the size of the one here, and they expect to en- ploy 300 hands and the shop is so far along that work will probably commence in December. The Passaic Daily Herald is enthusiastic over the prospect of this addition to Passaic's industries and has this to say of the projectors and the new shop: "These works will be one of Passaic's best and most complete plants, and although only half of the buildings are being erected, yet this half when completed will furnish employment to several hundred men. The name of the man at the head of this enterprise, Frank Cozenove Jones, who for many years has been so prominently connected with some of the largest enterprises in Pas safe, is sufficient guarantee of the business like and thorough manner in which it will be conducted. One of our old citizens, George Wof1enden, for many years superintendent of the works of the New York Betting and Packing Co.,, in Passaic, and one of the oldest rubber manufactures in the country, is promi- nently identified with this new enter prise.'' MT Woffenden was a resident of this town, employed in the Rubber fac tory here before he went to Passaic and is we'll known here. It may be possible that many of the men here may event ually find their way to the New Rubber Company's factory at Passaic.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
 The entertainment given by the Nlch- ols school on Thursday last proved to be a grand success. Much credit must be given to the scholars for the interest they all took in trying to make this one Of the most,pleasant events of their school term Special mention must be made of the rec itation, ''In grandma's chair," by little four years old Belle Turner.

HOMES FOR THE PEOfLE.
 No man in Bridgeport builds better houses than Warren H. Lamson. No architect makes better designs for the convenience of occupants. No builder is more careful to secure good locations and sanitary conditions, or to construct his dwellings of better material and workmanship. No person can build and sell dwelling h6ases, lots included, on smaller payments or easier terms. These facts are we'll established by what MT Lamson has done. and is now doing, and they are grounds on which he holds good and substantial reputation. Mir Lamson's advice is, ''Don't pay rent" It is his conviction and belief that every one should try to avoid rent. As matter of principle, he advises all to bend every energy and effort to own home. The words, 'Don't pay rent" are his trade mark and head his adver- tsement. How much better it is to deal with tLose we trust, and in whom we can place the fullest eofidence than with others less reliable.

IMPROVEMENTS AT ST JOHNS

1AT IGO 1 A4 O1 co1A " S' The Interior of the Church Edifce Handsomely ecorated.-History of the Parish.
 As your correspondent left St John s Episcopal church, one afternoon recent ly. after having examined the work of the artists who have been laboring there for the past two weeks, this verse of Scripture came forcibly to my mind, ''Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth" Not so with this church building, perhaps, but "Beautiful in dec- oratiOn, the joy of the worshipers," was the impression that cluDg to me. Not beautiful with flashy or gaudy decora- tions, but beautiful in the
 HARMONIOUS BLENDING
 of quiet, unpretending colors, suited to the house of worship where man lifts ur | his heart to his Creator. During the lat 1 ter part of the summer season carpenters replaced the roof so that no leakage should mar the work contemplated. Or entering the church building the vesti bule is finished in oil The side walls arc of greenish tint, with light ceiling | Here also is to be placed a large corru gated rubber mat, completely covering the floor space. the gift of the Rubber company through Superintendent Sloan The audience room is finished in ground work of a yellowish tint with blue cell | ing, handsomely stencilled.
 BUT THE HANDsOMEST
 of all is the chancel with it's darker back ground stencilled in dark red and gold Here, too, is blue ceiling, rivalling thu sky, with the Greek letter symbols of th' church given prominent place. Taking the decorations altogether they give most pleasing effect. The firm of Charle M. Cole & Go. of Bridgeport were the ar lists and they have a most enviable rep utation for this class of work. In iron of the church the lawn is being graded down to the street and the ground around the church are to be put in goot condition. Perhaps
 LITTLE HISTORY
 of St Johns church would not be amis right here. This parish was an off-shoo of Trinity parish, Newtown, and wa first a mission work of Trinity. Som time about 1860 the mission was starte and meetings were held in what is nov Masonic hall, under the care of Trinity rector. In 1868, through the generou l Ioron,, Ioft bx William, CIovar on the kindly assistance of other member of the mission. the present building wa : erected. Rev William N. Ackley, a assistant to Dr Marble, then had charg of the work and he was succeeded in tur by Rev Thomas Mallaby and Rev F. W Barnett. On May 25, 1880,
 BISHOP WILLIAMS 5sC gave permission to form new parish ]; the work had grown so, and during u latter part of the same year the organ zation was effected, with about 50 mer
 bers. The first rector called was Rev t L. Myrick, and he has been succeeded
 turn by Rev H. B. Jefferson, Rev 4.
 Chapman and Rev Otis o. Wright, u
 last named the present genial and belo
 ed rector. The church has prospered al
 grown in numbers until now, at the Ia E report sent out, there were 124 membe
