 A good musical program has been pro vidcd, and the public will not only have an opportunity of listening to that, but also to the renowned elocutionist, Mrs Banks. The following is taken from a former Bridgeport Standard "A large number of prominent citizens, headed by Mai Morgan, r. T. Barnum, Prof J. D. Hartley and others, have requested Mrs Emma Dunning Banks to give an entertainment in the opera house on some day to br selected by her. Mrs Banks has few equals in the art of elocu- tion" Her pupil, Mir Dranc, ranks among the best elocutionists and is con stautly filling engagements in this sec tion with the greatest satisfaction, Aside from the opportunity of listening to an entertainment of high order, there Is chance to contribute toward the support of uu institution which has be- comca power for gnod in our communi- ty.

DEATH OF MRS MARY BRADLEY.

Death came with distressing force at the home of Thomas F. Bradley at the Glen, Sunday night, when it took the wife and mother, Mrs Mary Bradley. Mrs Bradley was anticipating mother hood once more, but deaths relentless hand was not stayed and she died at about midnight, although all that medi- cal skill could do was brought for her relief. This death is peculiarly sad in that she leaves, besides a bereaved hus- band, eight young children, who are at the age when a mothers guiding hand is most needed. Mrs Bradley is highly spoken of by her friends and neighbOrs as a woman of most excellent character istics and purity of life, and they deeply mourn her loss and sympatbize with the afflicted family in tEis their great misfOr- tune. She was 39 years of age. A mass was said at St Roses church on Wednes- day morning at o'clock by Father smith for her, and in the afternoon at , o'clock Father smith conducted the fun cral services, which were largely attend ed, from the house. The interment was in St Roses cemetery.

Scarcely anything in daily use is more common than paint; indoors or out, it is before u= all the time. We could not do without it, Our doors, windows, walls, ceilings are all protected by paint, often bcautifed by it. X vast amount of mon- cy is spent annually in paint, much of 1t foolishly, for it is not an article that is well understood by the people. If they are buying almost any thing else 10 wear, they will get that which looks the best, last the longest, gives most satisfaction and costs the least in pro- portion to it's value. With paint they seem satisfied if it is called paint. Is it not reasonable to suppose that there is just as much difference in the quality of paint as of cloth, silk or satin: Chiffon pants cost more to manufacture than any other They are made only with pure linseed oil and the best turpentine differs. They cover more surface than any other paint known, and all ingredi- cnta used are the best the market affords. [ H. II, Beers X Co.
