CHEAP GOODS!
 VS., CHEAP PRICES!

The above theme leads naturally up to question of quality as viewed from the dealer's standpoint We are thoroughly in earnest in our ins:stance on the importance of offering Only Re- liable Goods. It is our beiefthat no price is low enough to redeem an unserviceabls or shoddy ar ticle from the maledicticn which goes with it. Right here is where some furniture dealers make their mistake, in handling goods known to be of inferior quality simply because they can buy them little cheaper than the better grade, and as these dealers argue will sell just as well. Maybe they will sell just we'll the first time, but if when taken home they do not give the ser- vice expected those goods will be constant stand- ing advertisements against leIlers. Everybody likes Cheap Prices," but nobody likes .-Chesp Goods" We don't have Cheap Goods" but our prices are Cheap Prices" We have just rscsiy- ed good fresh line of Spring Samples ofcarpsts. hoquettes, Bedy Brussels, Extra Super Tapestry Brussels with borders to match.

BETHEL,
CAUGHT IN A TRAP.


 The building committee, last Friday, started the fires in the new Center school building to test the working of the draft. $. s. Ambler, E. B. Richmond and the writer passed into the vault below the basement through a small door which was closed. The vault, 4x5 feet, runs the length of the building and connects both chimneys. A small heater or fire pot in each chimney makes powerful draft of air, which sucks all foul air through the ventilators from the room above, which then passes off through the two large chimneys which are 8 few feet higher than the building. All sewerage is dried up by the heat and the draft of air carries off all offensive odors. The system of ventilation appears to be com plete and effective and all were pleased with it's working. It is called the Smeed system. A laughable incident followed which may not be out of place to relate. It was 12 o'clock when we got through the inspection. All the workmen, had | left the building for dinner. We return ed to the closed door to leave the vault and found that it locked on the outside. | We were caught like rats in a~trap. A | yell like a sBannock Indians brought no one to the rescue. Richmond, being the ! best posted on the situation, climbed up | to one of the ventilators, which he found unfastened. He made himself so small that he crawled through. The fact was he was so awfully small that he said, "I am going home to dinner.' I will let you fellows out when I return.' The joke carried out would have been good one on us, for it was impossible to shrink ourselves down to his size and crawl through the same hole.

SUCH A PICNIC {!

The most novel and unique entertain- was given, last Wednesday night, on the Green and in the Town hall by the con- ductors and motormen of the Fairfield and Southport division of the Bridgeport Traction company. Chinese and Japan csc lanterns were stretched everywhere and in all manner of positions. The large trees were made brilliant by the soft light and one could distinguish 8 friend. Across the wide area in the center of the Green was erected platform upon which band concert was given by the Col W. H. Stevenson's military band. At one side of the space reserved for the band stand was temporary building from which ice cream and other good things were dispensed. So great was the volume of business done during the even ing that it kept two ladies and two gen. tlemen clerks busy for over three hours. The crowd began to arrive about 8 o'clock and until past 10 every car was crowded to the utmost. Shortly after olS cShe A PpCdiCo dhtA uhOCl buC shlll1ul leadership of Prof W illiam Redgate ren- dered delightful musical treat. En- deavors were then made to form sets for dancing. After midnight lunch was served in the lower hall by the members of the committee to which ample justice WAS done. After refreshments were serv- ed the dancing was resumed. Mention should be made of the display of fire works which was given between and 10 o'clock. This was very elaborate and much enjoyed. The crowd is said to be the largest ever gathered in Fairfield, it being variously estimated that there were from 5000 to 5000 present. There was nc disorder throughout the affair, which was remarkable, considering the number of people and the fact that there were nc officers present. The conductors and motormen may feel proud of their first | picnic.

st. Paul and St. Louis.

June will witness the departure from
New York cf the first American built
great transatlantic steamer, the St.
Louis. She and the St. Paul, her twin
sister, are monuments to which Ameri-
cans may point with pride the world
ovez A large number of citizens of ST.
Louis will be passengers over on the
first trip of the great steamer named for
their city. When the St. Paul starts
out, next fall, undoubtedly her passen-
gers will be largely made up of people
from the Minnesota city. They and the
St. Louisians will go abroad just for the
fun of the thing, to show the British
how handsome the people are who come
from the towns for which we name our
great American built ocean steamers. It
was originally expected that, the St.
Paul would be ready to begin her trips in
the fall in time to help bring home the
summer tourists, but the delay in launch
ing her may make her too late for this
The St. Louis and St. Paul, though
regular steamships OF the American line,
were built Oh the plan, so common in
England, of being aided by govern
ment mail subsidy. In return for this,
if war should break out and the vessels
be needed the government would have
the right to take them and use them for
the navy. These immense floating pal
aces. when their full quota of passengers
and crew are aboard, will hold Ito
souls. Their engines are the most pow
ertul OF the quadruple expansion type in
the world, and it is expected that they
will be able to travel on the average
considerably over 20 miles an hour. The
New York and the Paris, the other
steamers of the American line, also re.
ceive mail subsidies and are in conse-
quence liable for cruiser duty.
