ship. He praised the lodge highly for the excellent exempliication of the degree
 A great surprise was in store for the worshipful master, Dr Smith, when, before adjournment, the junior warden | and acting master, Allison P. Smith, stepped forward and addressed him. The junior warden said it was his pain full duty to prefer charges against his chief: 1st, of fidelity to the high and inspiring principles of Masonry and of faithfulness in carrying out the i'm pOrtant duties of the honorable and worthy office to which he had been elected; 2d, of fidelity to the principles of true citizenship as eXemplitied in a worthy public spirit: Sd, of fidelity and true manhood as exemplitied in the practice of his honorable profession in this town. MT Smith then told few stories to illustrate his points and drew forth from his pocket a plush case containing beautiful past mas ter's jewel studded with diamonds, and on behalf of the members of Hiram 1 lodge presented it to Dr Smith. To say that the WOrShipful master of Hiram lodge was surprised is stating it mildly, and it was with difficulty he controlled his emotions to respond to the heart-tO-heart address of the junior warden. In we'll chosen words, how ever, he voiced his thanks and said the gift and the giverS could never be erased from his memory. During the l evening an impromptu speech of much interest was made by F. Romaine
 Barnum of Eureka lodge of Bethel, | who was one of those who were present
 at the reinstating of Hiram lodge B years ago. The only two members now living who were present at that time,
 it is thought, are w. E. Ackley and
 Smith P. Glover.
 After the close of the regular com
 munication the fourth degree was ex- emplitied. The tables were set in the lodge room and three times filled, the guests and brethren from other lodges
 being served first.
 In addition to the grand officers the
 visiting brethren included Worship
 full Master Stephen French, A. B. Cur
 tis and w. s. Bradley of Washington lodge, No. 19, of Monroe, Dr A. L.
 Schuyler of St Paul's lodge, No. II, o1
 Litchtield, James A. Morris of Corin

Will you come and take a peep at the black grenadines No handsomer, m ore satisfy ing material was ever created for summer gowns. Filmy and rich yet not, of necessity, expensive, they appeal to ev- cry woman:
 There are very good ones at ST syd. Some are all-silk, some silk and linen, Patterns are mostly striped though some are scattered with leaves
 At $1 25 there are silk and wool as we'll as silk and linen sorts One of the prettiest is woven basket fashion.
 The 1.5o sorts are either very thin or medium weight. Medium weights do not re- quire such fine foundation though after all, there is noth- ing to equal a taffeta silk for use beneath a grenadine.
 Finer grenadines in plenty if you wish; some for as much as $3 5o yd.
 Shirt-waists, white and col ored. are coming into the store and going out again so fast it is almost useless to try to keep track of the styles or sorts. Colored ones of madras and percale and fine gingham from 5oc up White from $1 to $6 75 The dollar white ones are made with either tucked front or tucks and hem-stitch- ing in combination.
 A special lot of colored ones at 7sc is quite an attraction just now. They are made with rows of white inserting in front. Can't promise they'll be here long.
 Lightweight skirts for sum- mer wear are of wool and made with either very thin lining or no lining at all. They come in cheviot and broadcloth and brilliantine and include the popular light grays, brown and black Prices from $3 75 up with number of tasteful styles at $5
 Summer comfort both for the house and for wear is very ready now.

There were about 30 of the young people present, all of whom re- ported a good time.

 SATURDAYS TOWN MEETING. TOWN HALL WILL HARDLY HOLD ALL
 WHO COME.
 Saturdays town mee ting promises to be a rOuSer. and if indications point to anything, it will be the largest meeting of the taxpayers ever held in the history of the town. THE BEE most emphatically favors the town ac- cepting the proposition of the Fabric Fire Hose Go. as we believe it is in line of sound business policy and good judgment, and we believe that the great mass of the voters will so decide after considering all sides of the queS- tion.
 It is certainly to be hoped that all bitterness or spirit of partiSanShip will be laid aside at this time and that the question may be considered solely on it's merits.
 Let it be borne in mind that if the plants of the N. Y. B. & P. Go. are idle, fall into decay and are abandon ed the stores ShODS houses lands and all the property in Sandy Hook must inevitably suffer in the same way, and the depreciation of values on the east side of the town will most certainly, sooner or later, impose an increased proportion of the public expense upon the taxpayers of the west side The writer believes there is no good reason why this Fabric Fire Hose Co.,, of War wick, N. Y., should not be encouraged to come here, providing that good and true men enter into legal contract with the town to establish desirable industry, to make themselves homes and identify their interests with the common welfare of the community. Any man of'commOn sense can see that the weekly payroll of employees in the kets, stores and shops and the savings bank, and the circulation of cash through channels of life. The butch CT, baker, milkman, druggist. tin smith, printer, jeweler, ice-man, must all have patrons or they cannot stay and do business protitably. So, tax payers of NewtOwn. we appeal to you to weigh we'll these arguments and to come prepared to vote for the towns material upbuilding and the promo tiOn of all worthy objects
