SPRING ARRIVED YESTERDAY.

WINTER is no more and spring ar
rived on schedule time at 1888
o'clock last evening. At that time
the sun touched 1.-THE first point of
Aries. " Spring began at that mo-
ment and continues ninety-two days
and twenty hours.
The weather manipulators, how
ever, do not expect that the snow
and ice and slush will disappear
promptly with the advent of spring
and that in their place will come the
bright green grass and flowers and
ripping of the waters of Superior.
They do not even look for a Robin
IN the trees unless he has on an
overcoat and pair of arctics. To
the contrary, they look for a high
northwest wind and the mercury
trembling around 25 degrees, al
though there may be no clouds and
the moon may have a chance to
show Washburn people that it is
still doing business.
The statement that the sun has
entered Aries means that the sun
has touched the eastern edge of the
sign of Aries, which is about
twenty-eighG in the constellation of
Pisces, and it is the point where the
sun crosses the celestial equator.
making day and night equal all over
the earth.
The signs of the zodiac have never
conceded with the zodiacal cons tella-
tiOns since about one hundred years
before the Christian era. The dis
crepancy is caused by what is known
as the procession of the equinoxes,
and also because the signes are each
30 degrees of celestial longitude,
while the consultations are some
large and some small. Virgo is the
longest constellation on the great
ecliptic, while Cancer is the small
est. In drudlcal times the vernal
equinox occurred on May first, hence
the celebration of 'May day." and
in the ear A. d. 9001 vernal eqri

CONGRESSMAN Jenkins discusses
the question of Federal Con troll of
Trusts in the February number of
the National Magazine. Mr.. Jen-
kins has given this question great
deal of study, and has bill pending
before congress providing for an
amendment to the constitution in
order to place the matter under the
control of congress. At the wind
up of Mr.. Jenkins article he sums
up:
The only solution of the question
is to place all corporations under
control of congress. Needed legis-
lation will suggest itseif. after the
people through the state legisla-
lures have placed corporations
under the control OF congress. This
is the only remedy now open to the

This store is conducted foi your benefit. It aims to be your home when you come to Bridgeport. Its conveniences are for you. Will you consid- CT this as a formal invitation to make use of us?
 With the passing of Easter will begin the season of busy sewing: the making of gowns for late spring and summer wear. We are better equip ped than ever in all the depart ments that will be called upon to supply your needs. As the store grows older it improves if it did not we should be but poor merchants.
 We shall talk this week only of colored dress goods but the stock of black fabrics is large and of sterling worth, silks are hot to be surpassed anywhere, and the wash-goods display is at it's height.
 A handsome pattern in strip ed prunella cloth is shown in several colors at but 3oc a yard. Stripes are of a lace or der with wide intervals be- tween and the distinctive gloss of prunalla gives a very pret- ty finish to the fabric.
 We have placed on sale a limited quantity of 75c henri, etta at 59c yard. Good col ors and such henrietta as one pays 75c for at any store.
 Some desirable shades of vigoreaux at 59c. Vigoreaux is yarn-dyed, has an odd mix ed appearance, and wears like leather.
 Clinging stuffs are much to be worn this season. One of the best is albatross; falls soft and gracefully into folds. We are showing it in a large line of desirable colors at S1.
