Rous1NG
rendered to Senator Clark at His Home
In Evanston.

The Evanston Press gives the follow
ing account of the reception given to
Senator Clarence D. Clark ON the oc-
casion of his return from Washington
last Thursday:
The reception of our fellow towns
man. Senator C. D. Clark, on his arrival
from Washington last Thursday even
ing, was one never to be forgotten by
the residents of Evanston. The people
Of this city and vicinity, irrespective Of
party ~afaliation, met en- masse, and
with loyal hearts and respectful atten-
ton extended to Wyoming's senior SEN
ator an ovation that must have made
him proud Of his constituents who had
assembled to meet, greet and listen to
this distinguished mans words Of wis
dom.
The Almy band attested their re-
spect for the senator by discoursing ex-
cellent music, all kinds Of fireworks
were In operation, bon fires were blaz-
ing on every corner, wild screeches OF
whistles rent the air and for a time 1t
seemed that pandemonium reigned su-
preme.
A temporary platform and seats were
erected in front OF the Pacific hotel and
the vast concourse in attendance sur
rounded the senator and other promi-
nent speakers, who in appropriate
words addressed the audience in at
tendance.
AT the conclusion OF the exercises,
the senator was escorted to a carriage
in waiting, specially proffered for the
occasion by Mr.. A. W. Anderson. The
Yankee Doodle boys presented an
elegant banner, the handiwork OF an
Evanston lady. 1t was made entirely
of pansies and inscribed thereon, "Wel-
come Home" The open air reception
having been concluded. the committee
escorted the senator through the vast
crowd to the carriage in waiting. Mr..
Anderson's fine equines were abruptly
diseugaged from the elegant vehicle. a
rope was attached several hundred feet
in length, which was grasped by as
many citizens of Evanston, who de-
posted the honored gentleman mem
toned fright side up with care at his
domicile on the hill" Never will nor
never could there be a happier occasion
occur to Senator Clark than the demon
stration by our citizens last Thursday
evening, which will be recorded in the
historical dates OF Evanston as an &C.
casion never to be efaced from the
memory Of time and posterity.

William A. King, one of the republican representatives elected at Willimantic, is talked of for the speakership, a position he is well adapted to fill. He represented the town of Stafford in 1882 in way that reflected credit to the town. If he should not secure the speakership of the house he will probably secure the chairmanship of the judiciary committee, for which he is exceptionally well fitted.

 Next Sunday there will be Sunday school at o'clock, preaching at 3o'clock, followed hv the sacrament of the Lords supper, and Christian Endeavor meeting at 7. 30.
 The Improvements at the Crystal Lake Methodist Episcopal church are complet- ed, and the formal re-opening occurred at p. m. last Sunday. Rev. w. J. Yates of Rockville preached an appropriate and helpful sermon from Eph. 2:2O-22. The music was furnished by special choir, under the leadership of E. H. Dimock. The church now presents an attractive appearance outside and inside. Two coats of paint greatly improve the exte- rior. One side of the roof was re- shingled the other side, which was in fairly good condition, has been thorough ly repaired. As previously announced, some repairs were made last June The pulpit platform was then moved to the north end of the room, lowered to within nine inches of the floor, and extending through to the west side of the building, thus furnishing room for the organ and choir at the right. The seats were turned to face the platform, the doors were boarded up and a new opening made in the middle of the south end of the church, vestibule was built and new pulpit fur niture put in. More recently all the in- terior woodwork has been repainted, the walls covered with rich paper (the gift of G. H. Baker & Co., ), the ceiling beauti- fully finished with gypsine, the floor car peted throughout and two new stoves put in. The improved heating facilities, to- gether with the thick carpet and carpet paper on the floor, will make the room much more comfortable in cold weather, while the harmonious blending of colors from floor to ceiling produces pleasing effect. The entire cost is $314, and is all provided for, the Ladies' Aid society having assumed the last $26. The great CT part of this money was provided by the little band of workers at Crystal Lake. The committee in charge of the Improvements wish to express thanks to all who have helped. Col. c. L. Dean of Maiden, Mass, known to the pastor as benefactor of scores of needy churches, was appealed to and made generous re- sponse. David Gordon of Hazardville, Hon. Charles Phelps of Rockville and Mrs. Augustus Spellman of Stafford fol- lowed his example. The summer camp CTS at the lake have also assisted liber- ally. To these friends and to other out siders, who have given smaller amounts, the society expresses its thanks; also to the Methodist Episcopal church at Staff ford Springs for the pulpit chairs, to the Methodist Episcopal church at Hazard vile and the Congregational church at Stafford Springs for contributions.

tioD. by Rev. c. s. Beardsley, was an inspiration to and will long be remem- bered by the hearers. Rev. c. B. Me Kinley extended the right hand of fellow ship. Rev. Edward George of Williman- tic gave the charge to the pastor, and Rev. c. W. Morrow the charge to the people. The benediction by the pastor closed very impressive and successful service.
 The music added much to the exercises, while the duet, 'Blessed Savior, Thee Love-" by Miss Martha Sibley and J. Carl Converse, was particularly pleasing The church decorations were ferns, roses and chrysanthemums.
 Rev. Edwin Whitney Bishop was born in Norwich in 1869. His elementary ed ucation was secured in the schools of that city and in the Norwich Free academy, from which he graduated in '87. His col lege training was received at Williams, where he graduated in '92. After his graduation from Williams he became the instructor in natural science at Whitman college, Walla Walla, Washington, where he remained one year. He then took a course at the Hartford Theological semi nary, graduating in '97. Mr. Bishop held the William Thompson fellowship awarded by the seminary for study and travel abroad, which gave him an oppor- tunity to widen the horizon of his pursuit of knowledge. He was student at the university of Berlin and travelled in Italy and France, spending two months in Lon- don. This is his first pastorate, but he supplied at Marlboro and Pomfret while pursuing his studies at the seminary. MT. Bishop has improved his opportuni- ties for securing an admirable equipment for his work, and the church is fortunate in securing a man so we'll qualified. The practical unanimity of the call is another favorable factor for successful work and pleasant relations between pastor and people. The church has recently freed itself from $700 debt, and is therefore in the best of condition.
