STRONG WORDS FOR TEMPERANCE.
Last Sunday morning Rev Evan Evans
deliverf in the church one of the strong
est temperance sermons we have ever
heard from this pulpit. Undoubtedly
the sermon was brought out in connec.
ton with the vote to be taken in this
town (Washington), on the license ques-
ton. Each argument of those who IA
vor license here seemed to be most ably
answered. In joint discussion we
should certainly put Mr. Evans forward
as the most convincing advocate in favor
of no license. On the young, especially,
we hope this sermon rested with strong.
est force. 1t has been the custom here
for long time in certain places to hear
the license side freely discussed and ad-
vocated, and the influence it has had on
some of the young men cannot be over
estimated. The responsibility of such
would be leaders in Installing such prin.
ciples or strengthening those already

ed, nor, we believe, can they be con-

as proposed, certainly received ''black
eye," last Sunday morning. Some of the
arguments held forth by the license men
in favor of the barroom seemed very
firnsy, as held up to our gaze by MI
Evans on Sunday, while others seemed
certain to work ruin, instead of prosper
ity for our village, it's inhabitants, and
our beautiful Lake Waramaug. Thank
God! On Monday the vote of the town
ratified the voice of the best element of
the town in voting no license by a ma
iority of 81.

The interment was in the cemetery in

MISS GILBERT's MILLINERY OPENING

MISS GILBERT's MILLINERY OPENING.
Miss Ell. G. Gilbert's millinery opening
on Friday and Saturday of the past
week was interesting and pleasing to
all who attended. The latest design in
hats were exhibited and will be on ex-
hibition through the fall and winter.
Velvets and ostrich plumes used in pro-
fusion make very rich and pleasing
effect. the leading colors for fall are
the Jockey Club blues, while the pearl
grey shade follows close on. Plaids are
also very popular in ribbons and veIvets
and yellow is used more than heretofore.
In trimmings the shirred and plated
silks are taking the place of flowers.
Also gauZy materials are used on the
popular velvet hats. In shapes the
beret is popular, being soft hat like
Tam O. Shanters which can be bent in
numerous shapes to become the face. In
stead of The droop over the face which
was in vogue last season the tendency is
to flare, especially on the left side and
in the front with band or roll of velvet
near the hair, to tip the hat and give a
jaunty effect. Two toned effects are
still used to some extent. Full and
broad trimmings are characteristic of
Fall styles. A fine assortment of goods
and pleasing effects in trimmings will be
found at Miss Gilbert's Millinery Parlor,
No. II Bank street.
