WEDDING BELLS IN HATTERTowS.

In the picturesque village of Halter town, June 16. at s p. m., Ralph Keeler of Bridgeport and Miss Lucy A. Elwood of Stepney were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The wedding was quiet but exceedingly pretty one, taking place at the pleasant home of Charles M. Thorpe, brother-in-law of the bride. Rev c. W. Boylston, rector of Grace church, Long Hill, ofliciated, using the solemn and impressive Episcopal service. To say the bride looked charming as usual would convey but 8 faint idea of the sweet picture she made as she stood al- most surrounded by flowers, attIred in a dainty travelling dress of dove colored novelty goods, trimmed with tan satin ribbon and lace. Her bouquet was of white car nations and maiden hair ferns. The groom in the conventional suit of black, looked one of Natures noblemen. flowers were in profusion and their artis- tic arrangement elicited praise. Espec- ially worthy of remark were those mass ed above the mantel and about the fire place, in front of which the bridal party stood. After the ceremony and congrat- ulations all were ushered into the dining room, where the table was bountifully laden with fine variety of good things for the inner man. Shortly after supper the bridal party left for their future home, the Keeler homestead in Bridge port. May the flowers which surrounded them as they began life's journey togeth- CT be type of those which shall strew their pathway all life's journey through. Among the presents silver was conspicu- ous. The children of Chestnut Hill dis trict, Long Hill, showed their apprecia- ton of Miss Elwood's work amongsthem for the past six years by presenting her with solid silver teaspoons.-[P.

DISAPPOINTMENT SPELLED IN ANOTHER
 WAY

Mrs E. E. Hubbell, of Bridgeport, was in Newtown, last Wednesday, with her friend, Mrs c. H. Taintor, who spoke to the ladies of the Congregational church on subject which engages all her thought and time, that of building parsonages in the missionary fields of the West. Mrs Taintor is the wife of Rev c. H. Taintor, of Chicago, Field Secretary of the Congregational Church
 Building Society. Mrs Taintor im- pressed herself upon the ladies while here as being most earnest and devo- ted Christian worker, and would surely find warm welcome if she should choose to visit Newtown again. It was interest ing to learn how she first became a worker in this line of service. Her hus- band, about to leave home for few days, asked her to attend to his cores pondence while away. One letter espec- ally attracted her, which was an appeal for parsonage in the far West. She looked at her own pretty rooms, and then formed a mental contrast with the miserable little shack in which the mis- siona ry's family was living. Mrs Tain tor gave herself no rest that night, but wrote letters to the members of a veal thy church, who she felt sure, would respond to so touching an appeal. &C., companying each letter with prayer. Not single reply was received from those persons of wealth, and the great | needs of the work thus opened to her | made Mrs Taintor resolve to devote the rest of her life to it. We must not think that these missionaries who suffer such great privations and who require what seems so much help are men who could fill no better position. This idea is g 1 great mistake; it is the policy of the Congregational Home Missionary So ciety to employ only men of good edu
 cation and men of brains. These mis sionaries on the western fields are he
 roes; they are living lives of obscurity and suffering because their hearts art l filled with burning desire to save souls It may be truly said that when we buil(
 homes for these men, we are housing
 the Lord. Mrs Taintor said that, al
 though disappointment met her on every
 side in this work, she had learned t

Affairs About Town.
MIR pRocTER IN ENGLAND.

The following from the London Daily Chronicle concerning Harley T.Procter, who has been abroad with his family for year, will interest his Newtown friends: MT Burdett- Coutts was favored with splendid weather yesterday for his sale at the Brookfeld Stud. The quail ity of the horses he had to offer was of the best, and prices made were. sufficient ly high to show that the demand for high.class horses is at it's best. As everybody knows, the Brookfield Stud has been established to promote the breeding of hackneys and roadsters. Every horse offered is "made," and is ready for instant work, and every oppor- tunity is offered for examination and trial before purchase. Before the sale MT Burdett-Coutts entertained large party at luncheon, the company includ- ing the Duke of Somerset, Lord Had dington, Lord Abercromby, Lord Gov entry, Lord Hay, Lord Braye. Lord Hothfeld, Lord Llangattock, Sir All sopp, NJ. F., MT Bromley-Dayenport. M. F., the Hon A. G. Gathorne-Hardy, NJ. P, MT Lees Knowles, NJ. F., the Hon H. l.. Mulhoiland, M. F., MT Harley T. Proeter GU. $. A.), and others. After luncheon, Lord Hadding- ton gave the health of MT Burdett- Coutts, and said that he had spared no expense, not only in maintaining but improving the breed of hackneys. Cheers. .)-Mr Burdett- Coutts said the stud had been started with the idea of getting for the breeder some of the profit which accrued to the man who "made" the horse for sale. He did not mean to praise his own property, which he hoped would soon be other peoples property, but he would say that Oet- ter lot of horses had never been got to- gether. (Cheers. )-Messrs Warner, Sheppard and Wade conducted the sale. The biddings were not very spirited at first, and MT Ii. T. Procter (of William stown, Mass.), undoubtedly secured a great bargain when he bought team of four horses, which went beautifully together, and were matched to a hair, for 525 guineas. After this the bidding became more spirited, and some extraor- dinary prices were realized. A brown park hack made 355 guineas, a pair of bay geldings realized GAO guineas and a bay gelding and mare 400 guineas. A bay mare fetched 250 guineas, and two pairs of browns made $40 guineas and 40 guineas respectively. A beautiful chestnut gelding shown in saddle, went for 3S0 guineas, and a pretty pair of brown mares made 295 guineas. Two black chestnuts, driven as pair, req lized 2S5 guineas, and a lovely black geldiDg, shown in harness, made 350 guineas. Four bays were offered as a team, and were withdrawn at 750 guin- eas, after which they sold as two pairs for 510 guineas and 460 guineas each. Two browns made 800 guineas, and a black brown gelding made 250 guineas. In all eighty-three lots were offered, being thirteen more than last year.

PUSSY A BAD FISHER.
While Trying to Catch Goldfish Poor
T<bby Was Drowned.

While Trying to Catch Goldfish Poor
T&bby Was Drowned.
From the New York Herald.
Two small boys, wildly gesticulat ting
and uttering shrill cries of encourage
ment in front Of a delicatessen store In
upper Third avenue last Sunday after
noon, attracted a crowd of persons. In
the window was a large globe of goldfish.
on either side of which was a pyramid OF
canned goods. On top of one of the pyra-
mios. which was a few inches higher
than the rim of the globe, a half-grown
cat was balancing herself The most
nasty glance left no doubt as to what the
cat was doing there. for her hungry look
was fixed on the globe. while the fright
ened fish were scurrying round and
round In vain attempt to escape from
their prison. 1t was quite a difficult job
even for cat to balance herself on the
upper end OF can of tomatoes. Then II
was a long downward reach to the edge
OF the globe. More than a score of times
the cat tried 1t. Often IL seemed as II
she had leaned so far forward that II
would be impossible for her to regain her
equilibrium. but cat is quite at home at
this trick and the suppressed "Oh!" of
the small boys would change to an exul-
tant "horay!' each time the cat per-
formed t..
At last. in one of her attempts to draw
ooSh' the oHt was more clumsy than US
uai, and. making a couple of wild claws
In the air, she upset the top can and the
whole pyramid came tumbling down in a
clatter. 1t looked as II the fun was at an
end. when the cat reappeared and began
to scale the other pyramid. At the first
attempt this time she got one of her
paws on the rim of the globe. II was a
long reach and everybody could see that
the cat was stretched out to almost her
full length. Pussy saw this as well as
the spectators. She rested a moment to
gain strength, and then gave a leap for
ward. The rim was very narrow. Her
front paw just landed beyond It and In
an instant the cat pitched head first into
the globe.
wild shout announced to those on the
outside Of the crowd what had happened.
and everybody pushed and showed to see
what the cat would do. 1t was easy 10
see that she was in a bad predicament.
The globe, which narrowed with a sham
curve toward the top. was only two
thirds full of water. The cat kept swim
ming round and round. clutchine wildly
at the smooth globe in search of a pur-
chase. The only way she might have got
out Yves to sink to the bottom and lean
right up through the top of the globe.
but she kept on swimming as long as she
had any strength. and when she rolled
over on he' back and turned I'D her toes
even the two small boys skunk away with
tears In their eyes.
