 Mrs. Dean will be missed in the com- munity of which she has been part for so long a time, living life of much use- fitness, and with strong and heartfelt interest in every movement that benefited her locality and made it stronger, and brimming with friendship and kind feel ings for all with whom she came in con- tsct.

A STRONG SUIT
No. 8 SOUTH STREET.

A wrinkle in suits and suit in wrinkles are two different things.
 Look out for one but ke> p clear of the other. You know how quickly some suits will wrinkle. They look first rate for a week or two and then
 the creases begin to appear Ofcourse. they were never starched, but they soon look as though they had been and as though all the starch had been taken out of them. That's one side of the picture. Here's the other: In one of our first class made suits, "either medium or high pr ced," you could go through a trapeze perform ance, providing you happen to- bean athlete, without creating crease or starting seam, and they cost you nc more than cheap made goods.

MAYOR PATRICK GLEASON is an ''old man of the sea to Long Island City. Richly endowed with muscle and grit, for years he has been a czar in that mu nicipality making and enforcing his edicts, and apparently controlling every branch of the city government within that mu- nicipality, if he did not as well usurp the functions of state and national govern ments. An effort was made last fall to defeat him for reelection. It succeeded d; but, bless you! the mayor knows that those who voted against him made a mis- take which he is willing to rectify for them, and they may be thankful if he overlooks their folly even then. He knows that the counters of the votes were iT error, and to make all right will keeI right on being mayor. Last Saturday evening he took possession of the city hall with force of twenty police and 2 hundred or more of the toughest char acters in the city, armed with revolvers to prevent any possible attempt by tht Mayor-elect Sanford to gain possession O the office. Gleason took the oath of office and assumed duties for new term b. virtue of certificate of election given tt him by City Clerk Burke. Neither MT Sanford nor his friends will make any at tempt to gain the office by force, but vii abide by the decision of the courts, whicl is expected next week on mandamus pro ceedings. Gleason declares that he vii keep the office for three years, despit the decision of the courts. Sanford an' NJ. F. Clasen, president of the board o aldermen, will both make demands upol Gleason to turn over to them his office o Tuesday next, and if he refuses, they vii immediately bring mandamus suits t compel him.

In Detroit the school children are fur nished drawing pencils every day, and take them from box in which all those used the day before are dropped as school closes. Thus it happens that no child gets the same pencil two days running. over to put pencils in their mouths. As a result diphtheria has been spread about Detroit.

SMITH & MURRAY,

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892 The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities; and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for liberal trading were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- cepttonal values, brought about by constant watch in all markets for break in prices the reby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin 93 with a brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- lportunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such state of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods partners will disagree-some of them die
 stocks have got to be sold, cash got to be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv ueSo CO OueF Io all apprecidGlNe puUlc the peSt values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch oi our business requires but little comment. Com mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Moth ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.
 The sale begins TUESDAY, JAN. Sd, at a. m lSM|TH & MURRAY, l SPRINGFIELD.

 Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven, who has been for a long time one of the members of the faculty of the Yale law school and chief counsel of the New Y York < New England railway system, is to be appointed to the supreme bench of the state of Connecticut. The position has been rendered to him, has been accepted, and he will enter upon his new duties soon. It is said to be Gov. Norris purpose to appoint none but democrats to the vacant judgeships. Democrats claim this to be just, as it will still leave the republican judges in the majority. Among the prob able appointees is John L. Hunter, oi Willimantic. Holland county will get nc share of the appointments, if Gov. Morris decides to appoint only simon pure demo crats, as MT. Bill, the most available man, is not democrat, nor, as we un derstand, an out and out republican. We regret any arrangement, however, whicf omits his name from the list of new judges

y. G Pitzer 1t says
The address was throughout well
conceived and eloquently delivered
Its points were strong and elegantly
illustrated by impressive facts. As a
production il was meritorious,
Addresses on these occasions usually
abound with much that had best be
left unsaid, bnt the address Of Mr.
Pitzer was singularly exempt from ill
advised and possibly Objectionable
illusions. Twas an address in every
way worthy of the orator and tho
occasion Tho allusion by compari-
son. between the heroes of history,
from Periclcs to Napoleon ], with Grant
and Lee and Sherman and Sheridan
Stonewail jackson, etc, was happy in
conception, and the difference be-
tween the heroes Of the past and those
developed by the late sectional war
in this country were strongly Impress
cd, BY feryid and patriotic illustra-
tions, upon the attention Of the aur
dience. In every respect in which it
might be viewed Mr.. Pliers address
was a very fine one, and stamps him
as an orator Of no common order.
