LETTER TO s. C. BULL & co.
SANDY HOOK


 Dear Sirs: You know chemistry. Lead and zinc is a better paint than lead alone or zinc alone. Lead chalkS of; zinc peels off. Lead and zinc stay on, if properly ground.
 DevOe lead and zinc is the paint. 1t is ground fine and thoroughly mixed. A painter ought never to mix lead and zinc: it wants grinding; mixing isn't enough. A streak of lead and a streak of zinc is not lead and zinc.
 The object in grinding Devoe is to grind the lead into the zinc and the zinc into the lead, which a painter can't do, with stick in tub.
 And yet lead oil will wear longer with 20 or 30 per cent of zinc mixed in with it, even as painters do it.
 But Devoe has lead ground in with zinc. The lead is fine enough; so is the zinc. The grinding is to grind the two into one. And grinding costs little or nothing done by machinery.
 Yours truly,
 69 F. w. DevQe & Go.

A NOTABLE MUSICAL EVENT,


 Posters are out announcing the con- cert of the Ladies' singing club, which will be given in the Congregational church on Friday evening, August 30, at 8.15 o'clock. The club will be as sisted by Frederick A. Parkhurst, baritone, of New York, and a quintet of strings led by Gustav Dannreuther, here and in New York This is the clubs fourth season and it has 40 members, the largest number since it's formation. Arthur D. Woodruff of New York is the conductor and has been rehearsing the club every Wednes- day and Friday afternoon since early in July. Time and labor are not spared when the question of fine en- semble work by the club arises. This conce&b bids fair to be the finest yet gwen by the club, as the music is as choice as can be found for woman $ chorus. Mrs William s. Nelson of New York will play the piano accom- panimentS. The concert will be re- peated in Litchtield on Saturday night, as was done last summer, the club members going up either on the noon or evening train and returning by a special which has been arranged for. Many friends of the club went up to enjoyable time and any contemplating doing so at this time would do we'll to notify MT Woodruff as early as possible to secure the special ticket pro- vided for the round trip.

FOOT BALI. GAME.

The foot ball game was between the
Scranton High School and school of
the Lackawanna elevens. The former
won easilNi in two twenty-minute halves
by q score Of 20 TO 0. The LackaNanna
lads had been practicing only three
days, while their opponents had the
benefit of several weeks practice. The
High school boys played a quick
snuppY, heady game and gave every
evidence of having II team that will DO
things this season. They attempted,
and each time with success, many Of
the more daring tricks. such as long,
fake and double passes. Tropp. as
usual. played star game. Thayer, a
freshman. who was given his first trial,
made a good showing.
The LaCkaWanna eleven could do alb
Somtely nothing with the ball, and dis
tinguished themselves only by indi-
yidual tackles. Grimes and Garfield
-Xcelled their fellows i'm this regard.
Grimes was rendered unconscious and
sent under a physician'S care for an
hour, by flying head-tirst against a tree
in diving after II runner who had just
crossed the line. Thayer WAS put out
of the game by ii bump in the face.
Eleven points We're made in each
half. Tropp missed one easy ana one
