SERVICES AT ST. PAUL'S.

Morning Prayer, Litany and Sermon
Yesterday - Beautiful Decorations
and Special Music-Service Last Eve
ming for Deaf Mutes-Dr. Chamber
lain of New York Delivered an Ad-
dress in the Sign Language.
At st. Paul's church yesterday there
were special services, including morn
ing prayer, litany and sermon at 1890.
The decorations of the church We're
beautiful, Christmas green's predomin-
ating. The chancel rail was erltwined
with laurel until it resembled a hedge.
Cut flowers and many stalks of lovely
white Easter lilies were used. The
reredos was adorned with stands of
pine and evergreen. A ground of white
was furnished, on which by virtue of
contrast Were outlined in various diff
ferent designs, emblematic Sf Faith,
Hope and Charity. An elaborate pro-
gram had been arranged and the mu-
sic was well delivered. The choir
showed good training.
Last night at St Paurs church Rev.
John Chamberlain of the New York
mission for deaf mutes delivered a ser
mon to about fifty of these afflicted
ones. Notices had been sent them dur
ing the week and there was large
attendance of both men, women and
children. DR.. Chamberlain took for
the topic of his sermon Lessons on
Christmas" and conveyed his thought
by signs which, judging from the at
tention shown, was very interesting,
for during all of the minister's instruc-
tons there was rapt attention At
the close the people in their own way
expressed their delight at a religious
service conducted especially for them
and arranged for them to understand.
There is talk of arranging for series
of services to be held once in two or
three months for the benefit of deaf
mutes, whose advantages for these re-
ligious Instructions are so limited. Last
evening was the first time in two years
that any such service has been held in
New Haven.

THE USE OF BILLIARD BALLS.


Did you ever know What becomes of
old billiard balls?' asked well-known
expert, who keeps a billiard parlor on
Chestnut st. We'll, it's rather interest
ing. Billiard balls, of course you know.
are made of ivory-that is, the best of
them are. They don't last more than a
year or so with constant use; after
that they get cracked or knocked out
of shape bit. 1t has to be turned over
again. and after undergoing that pro-
cess a couple of times it gets to be too
small for a regulation game. It's days
as billiard ball being over, it is now
colored, and for several years more
does duty as a pool ball Naturally in
course of time it gets badly Clipped or
cracked, and is then usually sold to an
ivory worker
An ivory ball can be cut up into but
tons, electric bell pushes, tips for con-
ductors batons and numerous other
little things of the kind Even the
tinfest chips aren't wasted, for they
can be used in fancy inlaid work I can
assure you that small firms of ivory
workers are only too glad to purchase
seasoned material second hand, and,
as matter of fact, there is hardly a
more salable article in this world than
wornout billiard ball. Philadelphia

ADDRESS BY JUDGE BALDWIN,


The Place of the Ecclesiastical Society
in Congregationalism-The Tooth An
niversary of the United Church So
ciety.
At the meeting ofthe Mems club of
the United church last evening Judge
Simeon e. Baldwin spoke on THE
Place of the Ecclesiastical Society in
Congregationalism," a subject suggest
ed by the Tooth anniversary Of the for
nation, of the Ecclesiastical society of
the United church. A mural tablet re-
ferring to this event has just been
placed in the vestibule.
He said in the course of his address:
"As this ecclesiastic society has round
ed out it's hundred years of existence it
is profitable to consider what the So
ciety has accomplished in this time. In
the first place, the society has had the
value of continuity. To-day the insti-
tutional church has taken the place of
the institutional society, but the church
still needs the steadying influence of
the society. Thus this society has done
its mission for the past century This
church has ever we'll deserved it's name
OF the United church. We look for
ward to the coming centuries with high
hopes for its continued help and use
fulness of the ecclesiastical society,""
Mrs, Alice N. Lincoln of Boston and
Mr. R. w. Glider of New York will adj
dress the Mems club next Sunday eve
ming on 1.-THE Housing of the Poor"
Mrs. Lincoln has given much study to
the better housing of the people,, ana
has planned and built several model
tenement houses in Boston. Mr.. Glider

NEW YORK July 23.-The change for the

course, and important factor, but fair
amount of commission house buying was
reported. especially in the railway shares.
The local buiis were rather disconnected

vailed on the substantial deposits of gold
