THE SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.

THE SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.
 Another of our semi. occasional special town meetings was held on Monday af- ternoon and proved drawing card for a rainy day. A good attendance was out , and so were the orators, and before ad- , journment considerable amount of wind ]! was wasted, both hot and cold especially , the former kind. A. F. Wakeman pre- . sided impartially. The meeting opened with resolution offered by Bacon Wake man, instructing our representatives to
 oppose the granting of charter to the
 Beach Improvement Co. and also to send
 legal counsel to Hartford to oppose it. The plans of the company were explain , ed and defended by Judge Glover and 1, many speeches" were made in favor of ; the resolution. Lawyer E. F. Hali of , Bridgeport was given permission to speak in the interest of Theodore Turney and by his bitter personal attacks soon had l the meeting aroused and most of the au- dience ready to throw him out of the ! window. He was called down and later offered an apology. At the end of an l hour vote was taken and resulted in ia
 vor of the resolution by 45 to27. Favor.

AGOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

About two years ago an institute for the scientific treatment of dipsomania and drunkenness was opened in this city Since that time it has cured hundreds of patients from every quarter of the state. That these diseases can be permanently cured, we have demonstrated in so many cases that skepticism cannot exist if one has interest enough to investigate our methods of treatment or interview our patients. An opportunity to receive full course of treatment, board and room is offered for a short time at reasonable rates. Write for particulars.-[U.S s. Gold Cure Institute, Box 522, Bridgeport, Conn.

DUST! pUsr!, pUsTii,

Great and loud are the protests over
 the terrible clouds of dust raised by the
 trolley. The streets are kept in almost
 continual clouds of dust and to ride in the
 cars one needs to wear a respirator, or suffocate. It is about time the people
 reused up and made the selectmen act.
 It seems that nothing short of dynamite
 will make them compel the Traction con- pany to live up to it's agreement. The
 tracks have never yet been put in proper condition and the town has paid an ex- persive expert to look out for it's inter- ests. We are given to understand that the az cement finally signed by the se- lee me and Traction Go. was radically difere from that presented at the sev- eral m etings. Judging by results, it l would really be interesting to know just whi nat "agreement" was anyway, ,and l how faithfully it's terms have been com piled with.

LEES CHAPEL ITEMS.

At the public service, last Sunday morning, the treasurer, E. G. Jennings, reported that the financial year just clos ed was by far the most successful in the history of the church. He announced that there had been considerable in- crease in the salaries paid the pastor and the sexton, and that after all bills were paid there was small balance in the treasury. The result he claimed was due to the adoption and carrying out of the weekly envelope system. The ag- gregate was the sum of over 2600 pay ments made by 100 different contributors, instead of about 40 as heretofore. By this method morey comes in promptly, and bills are met as they become due, while more than twice as many people as formerly enjoy the blessedness of giving as means of grace. The Lee's Chapel people seem more than willing to continue the envelope plan.
 The orange sociable, postponed from April g. will be held Tuesday evening, May z, in Temperance hall. The delay makes possible much finer program than was at first provided. Everybody is invited. If stormy the soeiable will be held the first fair evening.

A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
 Some of the friends of Rev and Mrs Ralph H. Bowles having incidentally learned that Saturday, April 20, was the 25th anniversary of their wedding day, paid them a surprise party at the rectory and presented them with sum of silver money, some silverware and table linen. Prominent among the latter was large double damask table cloth, the central figure of which is copy of a celebrated picture of ssThe Lords Supper" Around this center are figures of the adoration of the shepherd, the flight into Egypt, the baptism of Christ, etc. The guests brought the materials for an abundant and recherche supper, which was duly set forth and partaken of. Beside other noticeable adornments of the feast there was placed in front of Mir and Mrs Bowles an elegant brides loaf on which appeared in gilt figures "1S70-1S95." :" Frederick F. Johnson of Berkeley divin- ity school was among the guests. It was a perfect surprise to MT and Mrs Bowles and evidently gave them greater pleasure because the kind remembrance was en- tirely unexpected. Such spontaneous and unsolicited expressions of loving re- membrance of so rare and interesting an anniversary deserves grateful commen- dation.

 CHURCH AFFAIRS.
 The ordination and installation of Rev J. B. Kettle took place in the church Tuesday, April 16. The pulpit was handsomely decorated for the occasion with plants and flowers. A fine dinner was served to all who wished, by the ladies in the Sunday school room. In the afternoon the church was filled with people. The charge to the pastor was given by Rev D. M. Seward of Norwalk, the right hand of fellowship by Rev F. s. Child of Fairfield, the address to the peo- pie by Rev G. W. Banks of Guilford. Every thing passed off nicely and the peo- pie rejoice in once more having pastor.
 Being nearly surrounded with flowers, Rev J. B. Kettle preached his first ser- mon as pastor, Sunday morning to large congregation from the words ssGo ye in to all the world, and preach the gos- pei to every creature" He was listened too with the closest attention and all felt happy and contented in the satisfaction of knowing they once more had pastor and the tiresome candidating was done away with.
