SAD NEWS.

Miss Mary Ritchie, Well Known
 Young Lady, Dies in Scotland.
 The sad intelligence has just been flashed across the Atlantic cable from Scotland stating that Miss Mary Ritchie of Bristol street, this city, has died at the residence of her grandparents in Scotland She was the daughter of MT. Ritchie, of the firm of Ritchie & John ston, builders. Mr Ritchie left this city some three months ago for a pleas ure trip to his native land, and was followed several weeks later by his wife and daughter. The trip was taken in the hope that 1t would benefit Miss Ritchie, who had been in poor health for some time back and it was the family's intention to return home to New Haven in time to spend Christmas The sad news of Miss Ritchie's death will be received with regret by her many friends The deceased was for some time clerk in Ewen Mcintyre & Co.'S, and was an active worker in connection with the Sunday school and Young Peoples meetings of the Hum phrey street church. She was of a sweet and amiable disposition. She was greatly liked and highly spoken of by all who came in contact with her, and the sympathy of her many friends will go out to the family in their sad bereavement.

THE APPROACHING HOLIDAYS.

"A Word of Interst as to a Noted New
 Haven Business House.
 When Patek, Philippe & Co. brought their exhibit to this country for the Chicago exposition, the other competing exhibitors declined to take their allotted spaces if Patek's watches were to be considered. The jury was immediately called together, a consultation was held with the managers and arrange ments were made before the exhibition was opened and the distinction was awarded Patek, Philippe & Co. of being beyond competition.
 The George H. Ford company would seem to occupy a similar unique posi- tion in this community.
 Their holiday stock for 1896 now on view, presents attractions from allparts of the world, correct in taste and at moderate cost.
