DEATH OF MRS. F. y. RIDGWAY.

Formerly Miss Greye Chapman-Occurred
 Yesterday at Her Parents Residence on
 Wall Street.
 occurred yesterday morning at the res idence of her father, Rev. Dq M. B. Chapman, on Wall street. It was only seven weeks ago that Mrs Ridgway, then Miss Greye Chapman, married Erman J. Ridgway, the wedding talk ing place at the First Methodist church. of which her father Is pastor, and her death, so unexpected, comes as a sad shock to her many friends who then showered her with congratula- tions. She was twenty-seven years of age and was prominent in social and literary circles of the First Methodist church, over which her father is serv- ing his second pastorate.
 After her marriage she went to reside with her husband in New London, where he managed the Hotel Mohegan for Frank Munsey, the publisher, with whom he has been connected in busi- ness since his graduation. About three weeks ago Mrs. Ridgway was taken ill and 1t was thought that she wGs liable to have typhoid fever. She was re- moved to her parents residence in this city on December 3, 1t being thought that she could better sustain an attack of illness there. The illness was severe, but she seemed to be on fair way to recovery until last Monday evening, when she became worse. She also suf- fered hemorrhage and sank steadily until the end came.
 After Mrs. Ridgway came to New Haven her husband returned to New London, but came back to New Haven in the latter part of last week and re- mained here until her death.
 The deceased was a beautiful and ac- complished young woman, of charming manners and loveliness of character, which gained for her hosts of friends in this city and in other cities where her father has been stationed. Her death brings deep sorrow to many hearts. MT. Ridgway, her husband. graduated from Yale in the class of 1892

AT THE ARMSTRONG STORE,

H. E. Armstrong & Go. of 89-97 Or ange street have undoubtedly the finest lines of furniture for the holiday trade that they have ever presented to the public of New Haven, and their stock is always first class and credit to New Haven business enterprise.
 Odd furniture of artistic design which was formerly luxury for the rich has been so economically constructed that this popular firm is able to sell 1t to their patrons at very low figures. A more acceptable or valuable Christmas gift can scarcely be found than an ar ticle of furniture. The prices are within the reach of all, for instance, ladies' writing desk, solid oak, $3.5O; conbina- ton book case for $12.50, regular s25 case. Among the other articles are music cabinets, china closets, reed and rattan chairs, rockers, upholstered chairs and rockers, tables in brass and wood, all finished, and a larger line of other useful and serviceable Christmas goods

ME. CHANDELIERS nECrrAL.

An excellent programme of organ music was played at the First Baptist church last night by MT. W. Woods Chandler, the regular organlst of the church. MT. Chandler was assisted by Professor Isador Troostwyk of the Yale university musical department. Indeed the recital was quite a university event, MT, Chandler being a graduate of Yale in the class of 1896, and he is at present student In the musical department Of the university under Professor II. w. Parker and MT II. B. Jepson A good audience was in attendance and gave close attention to the performance.
 The programme opened with the Bach prelude and fugue in c major. Mir. Chandler has given great attention to his study of this master, as was shown by his rendering of the work, It was dignified and very clerly performed, the themes standing out sharply wherever they appeared, never blurred.
 After Claimants First Meditation" composition of no great character, MT, Troostwyk played the familiar Wal
  singer" Under the artists persuading bow this piece never grows trite, but one looks something new from so &C., complshed and versatile a violinist as MT. Troostwyk. The next number was Mendelssohn's Sixth Organ Sonata, and the brilliant arpeggio work of the sec ond movement showed off to advantage the remarkably clear technique MT. Chandler possesses. The beauty of the third movement having a running &C., compartment in the pedals was marred by the noise of the trackers and me- chanical appliances, the fault of the or gan purely Salome's beautiful offer tory in D flat was played with fine ef- feet.
 Perhaps the next piece had the most interest of any for the audience. It was MT. Chandler's own composition, which won the prize at the Connecticut Music Teachers association festival in May last year The work is a theme and variations of much merit, running into a fugue of about one hundred measures which embodies the theme. The finale is an ambitious one and closes an un- usually we'll written and original work, l considering that it was the first com- position of importance MT Chandler has undertaken.
 MT. Troostwyk was heard a second time in Gounod's hymn to Saint Cecelia. His playing was warmly cncored. Al leluia," by Theodore Dubois, closed the recital.
 It is to be hoped that since so suc- cessfully embarked in his recitals, Mir. Chandler will produce another eQNally good programme soon.

.dT HURLB URG'S.

Undoubtedly one of the most artisti- cally and handsomely decorated busi- ness houses in the city is that of Hurl- burt, the grocer, corner of Chapel and High streets. The arrangement of the display in the four great plate-glass windows are indeed most attractive. Many complimentary remarks have been heard from passers-by who have been constrained to stop and admire the articles and their arrangement. In the west front window the ground is of olive-colored cloth and upon this is built pyramid composed of bottles of the finest olives. In the east front win dow the ground is pink, on which is built an array of the choicest fruits in glasses. The two windows facing High street have an elegant display of bot tied vegetables and pickles, respective ly. Each window is hung with fes- toons of evergreen. Almost the entire ceiling of the store is hid with garlands of evergreen, which hang in graceful folds, and around each electric light is arranged star of evergreen and holly. The choicest of chocolates, soaps jellies and all first class groceries are ar ranged in elegant style in various parts of the store.
 As is well known, MT. Hurlburt deals in none but articles of the best quality, and his patrons with much pleasure are anticipating their purchases of turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and other arti- cles necessary for Christmas dinner. His corps of efficient and gentlemanly clerks have been kept unusually busy supplying the demands of the public, who are always satisfied that they get the best of purchases from Hurlburt's. He is one of the acknowledged leaders in his line, both for extent of business, excellent goods and fair dealing.

BROKERS WILL FIGHT IT.
Opposition to the Operation of the
Anti-ScaIpers' Bill.

ALBANY On. ", Aug. 29.-Active
preparations are being made to fight
the operation of the so-called anti
scalpers' bill, which takes effect on
Wednesday, September 1st. The new
law viii make it a penal offense to issue
or sell any passage ticket, or berth or
stateroom in any vessel unless he is an
authorized agent of the owners or con-
signees of such vessel or of the COM
pany running such train. The railroad
company must redeem tickets presented
for redemption promptly and within not
to exceed thirty days of the presenta-
ton at the general office. A wholly
unused ticket shall be redeemed at a
price paid for the whole ticket and the
cost of a ticket of the same class be-
tween the points for which said ticket
was actually used.
A ticket broker in this city, who was
one of the committee of brokers to or
pose the bills passage, said to-day the
brokers had secured counsel and would
test the constitutionality of the law
