MISSIONARY WORK IN INDIA.

Rev George r. Pentecost, who spent several years as an evangelist among the English-speaking races of India, says that country is the key of the miss ionary situation. Africa has 25O, ,000, 900 of peo- pie and China 100, 1000, ,O0O; but the intel lectual supremacy of India and the char aCter of the races that inhabit it, make it the citadel of organism. When India falls before Christianity, heathendOm wilt have been conquered. Such field, then. must furnish wonderfully attrac tive subject for study to those who ear nestly look to the speedy conquest of the world by the religion of the lOwly Naza- rene. Al the missionary meeting to be held next Sunday evening, April P, at 7.30 o'clock in the Congregational church, what Christianity has already accom- plished in India will be told. A most cordial invitation is given to all to attend this meeting. The following ia the program that will be carried out; Hymn, "Sound the battle cry" Congregation Scripture,

A HIT OF BLARNEY,

The Standard Dramatic Co. of Dan- bury will present the drama, "A bit of blarney," at the Town hall on Tuesday night. The company is spoken of as strong aggregation of amateur talent The tickets are B and p cents, and are on sale at the postUficc. The News in commenting on the play has this to say |: "'rhe play was as well staged as any of the amateur productions. The charac- teIs were well taken, as rule, but some are entitled to especial mention. John J. Melvin as Rody, the Rover, was in re- ality "a bit of Irish sunshine," and im- parted much life to the character. Hen " Scollin was an excellent Cuddeen Cas- sidy, the unfortunate tool of the crafty villain, Squire RossmOre, who was im- pers onated by Frank K. McCafiery. James l.. Ames as the cockney sergeant had little to do, but did it well. Rosa leen O'ConnOr, Mrs Della Scollin, was the favorlte of the evening. She made very acceptable heroine and no one blam- ed the rollicking Rody for falling in love with her. Miss Annie Meath was a charming Lady Patrice Rady's sister, with very warm spot in her heart for Edward Lawton, a California lawyer, we'll impersonated by John c. Logan. John McNally, as a jolly Irish widow, added much to the enjoyment of the au- dieuce by putting much vim and life into n difficult part. James J. Mahony, Jos eph A. Kraha and George k. Thorne per- formed the small parts allotted to them with excellent taste. Taking 1t as a whole, the work of the entire cast was credItabe and worthy of much larger patronage. Among the specialties that were introduced, those that deserve spec ial mention, were a solo by Mss Johan m McNamara, dancing by John Melvin John McNulty and Mrs Scolln. As aI artistic production "A Bit of Blarney' was success.n

THE CHORAL CONCERT.

The first general rehearsal of the con- cert music was held, last Tuesday even- ing at the Newtown Academy. About 10 were present, and all appeared to be wide awake for the work. The selections are fine and of varied character, and the program bids fair to be very taking one. Several rehearsals in squads have been held at the street, and at the Hook, and at the Academy. Hereafter the re a hearsals will be held, all together, t the Academy, on Tuesday nights, until the final one at the Tow n hall.
 The leading numbers are: ''The Brid- al Chorus" from the Rose Maiden; "'rhe Triumphal March," from Naaman !; three short Chorals from Mendelssohn's St Paul; and the Angel of Peace, ''set to Keller's American Hymn.
 Other numbers will consist of solos, duets, trios, quartets, etc, and several patriotic songs by the full chorus. The date proposed for the concert is May 15

APATRTOTIC CELEBRATION.
FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.


 There is talk of inviting all the school children in the town, with the present school teachers under the direction of the school visitors to unite in a patriotic celebration of the glorious anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It is proposed to raise SlOO by voluntary subscriptions to pay the expenses of a brass hand and orator for the occasion, q purse for baseball contest, and any other necessary cost of arrangements. The plan is to invite the cooperation of the fraternties in town, to form two preCe. .sions, one at the Street and one at the Hook, and march to the Newtown Academy where the exercises in honor of the day will be held. The bells should be rung at sunrise, noon and sunset, and a salute fired at the same hours. A clam bake should be served for dinner, after which there will be a band concert and game of ball. In the evening public fire works at each village. Look for more on this subject, next week.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT AT SANDY HOOK.

The Illustrated lecture, life in Colo nial Days" by Prof A. Trumbull Sey- mour, ut Glover's hall, Sandy Hook, Tuesday evening, April lG, was fairly we'll attended, ut least by the school children, who appeared to be pleased both with the exhibition of pictures and text of the running comments. The lee turer was his own operator and this hin dered him some; but the lecture itself was hardly of a character to win appre- citation from the few older heads, while the views themselves hardly made con nected story alone, yet possessing the framework of one. The receipts were satisfactory considering the times, and the fact of other attractions in the near future, and will form q nucleus for q fund for school house improvement. Very nearly s. was cleared for the dis trct. The state grants an equal amount yearly.
