A COMPLIMENT FOR MISS GAFFNEY.

The Newtown friends of Miss J. E. Gaffney will be interested in the follow ing complimentary notice of an enter tainment in her Ridgefield school, which appeared in the Ridgefield Press: sLast Friday afternoon large number of the patrons and friends of the North Ridge field school gathered at the schoolhouse and listened to very entertaining pro- gram rendered by the children. The small admission fee of 10 cents was charged in order to raise funds for the purchase of new organ. The program was original. Patriotism, music, litera- ture-these were plainly seen through all the pleasant numbers. The teacher, Miss Gaffney, evidently realizes that imparting knowledge means the development of the higher nature. She believes that the taste for music and art and literature is essential for the real Giving of a life.'' The mere prosy existence thus becomes uncommon. MT Ballantine, the jealous acting school visitor, made a felicitous address, in which he disclosed some very pleasing facts of special benefit to the school. He told the audience that J. M. Andreini, Esq, a cultured gentleman, who has passed several years here, had been very much impressed with the ear nestness of the principal, especially in the work of instructing the children in music. This led him to offer a contribu- tion towards an organ for the school. Thus through his benevolence, and the sum raised by the entertainment, ir will not be long before the North Ridgefield school will own handsome organ. Pre- viously MT Andreini has also given sub- stantial sum of money for the purchase of books for the school. His interest in North Ridgefield district will not fail of doing great good.

Affairs About Town. AN AMERICAN ABROAD.
A. F. CLARKE INTERVIEWED ON HIS EU-
 ROPEAN TRIP.

A representative of THE BEE dropped in on A. F. Clarke at Dicks hotel the other evening, who had just returned from his European tour. MT Clarke is looking in excellent health, and says he enjoyed his trip exceedingly. He was absent from Newtown not quite three months, leaving here on August 3, and touching Newtown's shores on October 3l. His trip over was made on a Ger man Lloyd steamer, and it was his good fortune to escape sea-sickness on both voyages. His first stop was at Brennan The party in which he travelled compris- ed about 30 people, a very congenial company.
 Speaking of his trip as whole MT Clarke says he enjoyed Switzerland and Holland perhaps the most of the coun- tries he visited. His party while on Mt Rlgl In the Alps were caught in a howl ing snow storm and missed the view from the summit. In Germany he passed about three weeks, and while at Pott7- dam his party had glimpse of the En- press of Germany. In Austria they travelled as far East as Buda Pest. The party passed five days at Venice and three at Milan and Mir Clarke was pleased with these ancient cities. While at Venict they stopped at the famous Grand hotel.
 In London and vicinity MT Clarke's party passed 10 days, and visited the many fam us buildings of that great metropolis. While at Southam pton, waiting for the steamer, Mir Clarke met an English gentleman and chanced to engage in conversation with him. In re. ply to question, MT Clarke informed the English voter "That he should go home very well satisfied with the United States, it's government and customs. '' MT Clarke does not think the European railroads begin to compare with the American, neither do the hotels. MT Clarke has made DO plans for the imme, diate future, and at present is enjoying a welcome rest after months of continuous travel.

Diamonds and watches are not alto gether a luxury, but good investment. A diamond can be worn for years and never grow old. It can be changed from ring to pin and back to ring again and still it is new all the time. A wptch will last 8 lifetime if it is properly cared for and is not only an ornament but a necessity. If you go to the jewelry store of John H. Reid at 11S Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport, between Main and Broad streets, you will find an elegant stock of diamonds, watches. jewelry, silver ware, French and American clocks, etc. MT Reid is under very small expense, which enables him to greatly undersell his com petitors and still sell the very best arti- cies made. He also makes speciality of repairing watches, clocks and jewelry, and guarantees satisfaction in every re- spect. Don't forget to call on MT Reid at 11S Fairfield avenue if you need any thing in his line, and save from 20 to 30 per cent.
