THE BEST SCHOOL.

The purpose of this article is to pre- claim of the best Business and Shorthand school in this vicinity.
 Evera since our school opened in 1887 we have pursued our way quietly and steadily, instructing our pupils with thoroughness and care and making no claims for superiority over other schools. As result we have placed more of our graduates in good positions in this city and New Y ork city and ether places than any other school in this section, and now feelathat we can truthfully claim that Martins school of business and short- hand is in every sense of the word su- perior to any other school in Bridgeport or vicinity. We say this in all modesty and in proof of this statement the reader has only to interview any of our active recommendations as we have listed them herewith.
 We would ask the reader: Have you ever seen a list of graduates of any of the other schools and bu siness colleges in this city? Cannot the graduates of the other schools secure positions? Why not? Don't the other schools graduate their studen ts? If they do, where are they? They advertise that they actually secure positions for their graduates Probably as their graduates are at tho most few and far between they feel saf' in making this assertion. But are they truthful in so advertising? We hav' tried ever since our school was establish ed to secure a list of the graduates 0 these other schools but as yet have beel unsucces sful.
 Another thing, we make but one pric to all of our students without exception for tuition at our school. Our student pay that price and are satisfied becaus they feel assured that they will obtain
 first-class education in the variou branches taught in our school, and als that we will do our utmost to place theL in good paying position upon graduating as has been our practice in the past witt most gratifying success.
 The proprietors of other schools ii this city have taken in students at variou prices, and sometimes even without cost and what have they gained by it? Wha have their students gained by it? Hay they any competent graduates, or an graduates at all for that matter, an especially whom they have placed i positions? If so, where are they? Tn proof of the pudding is in the eating ] The proof of the school is in it's graG
 uates. There must certainly be lac

EXPECTS A REVIVAL OF NEWS.
 It is some weeks since I have written any article for THE BEE, and it is for this reason that some one has got to 'sget gait on" or do something that will be of interest to the community, or spoil something, and make it better, or in oth- CT words, have an old fashion jubilee, and let folks know we are on earth. I don't care which, if I can have some news to write about for THE BEE. But now elec- tion has got simmered down to nut shell, we want peace and business, and l hope this letter will get up some spunk that will inspire us all to some great and good deeds, that may be chronicled in TEE BEE next week.

AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

AT THE VILLAG1E CHURCH.
 The subject of Rev MT Evans sermon at the Village church, Sunday morning, was ssThe soul, sin and death," taking for his text tThe soul that sinneth, 1t shall die." His views of eternal punish ment were much modified from the be- lief of the former days. The literal meaning of hell fire he felt that he could not accept. The punishment meted out to the sinner, the willful, unconverted sim ner, he thought to be in, the next world banishment from all that is good and true and noble and still further accellora- tion toward the evil, being led on and made to mingle altogether with the vicious and bad. Surrounded by such associations he deemed the sinners hell but continuance in wrong doing and evil companionship of vile spirits till the soul of the sinner in eternity would be. come loathsome to itself. The sermon was rich in thought, easy in comprehen. sion and modern in spiritual ideas.
