The Hubbell & Wade Co.,, at the foot of Bank street, Bridgeport, (just above the tall elevator building) carry larger stock of paints and painters supplies than any other store in Fair field county. The business has grown to it's present large proportions be- cause the goods are the best that the markets of this country afford, and prices are always right. The Company has had remarkable success with De- voe's famous lead and zinc paints
 The sales last season were three times what they were the year before, and the demand for them is constantly in- creasing among all classes of property owners. Their superiority over lead and oil and out of date paste paints is so marked thats tspeople cannot help but notice it. There is another ad- vantage in using these paints, the matter of covering capacity. If it takes say 10 gallons of lead and oil or of some lower grade of mixed paint to cover your house, buy only eight gal Ions Ot DevOe'S. It will cover just as much surface and cover it better than the ten gallons of the other kind.
 Twenty per cent is worth saving in paint as we'll as in cash. If you intend

Funeral Wednesday, at o'clock at the house, 2o'clock at the Episcopal church. Besides her hus- band and two sons she leaves mother, Mrs F. B. Hand, and a brother, Frank Hand, of Corsicana, Texas. The sympathy of the whole town is given MT Smith and his two little ones in their bereavement.
 The death of Patrick Dougherty re- moves one of our old landmarks, being the second Irish resident to settle in this town. The funeral was largely attended Tuesday from his late resi- dence to St Johns church, with burial in Waterbury.

 The large congregation assembled attested the universal esteem in which the deceased was held and there was a feeling in the hearts of all those pres ent of sincerest sympathy for the fam fly in their great bereavement. Every one who knew felt that the loss was personal one.
 The beautiful liturgy of the Prayer Book sounded in it's incomparable manner the note of sorrow and that of triumphant Christian hope, the short ness and uncertainty of human life and the glorious truth of the blessedness and joy and felicity shared by the faithful dead in Paradise, to be follow ed by the full fruition and perfect con- summation in the general Resurrection of the Dead.
 The musical part of the service was we'll rendered by some of the members of Trinity parish choir, assisted by Mrs Tucker of Sandy Hook. The hymns sung were: "Now the laborer's task is o'er," ''On the Resurrection morning soul and body meet again'' and ''AsleeI in Jesus, blessed sleep" The commit tai was saidat the grave in the pres ence of the relatives and many nea friends.
 The flowers were unusually beautiful and appropriate, consisting of severa large punches of roses and other cu flowers and large wreath, fit emblem of eternity, and cross of roses, suit able symbol of the Christian faith The pail bearers were R. H. Beers, w c. Johnson, Robert Tomlinson an< Frank Wright.

LETTER TO M. F. KILBRIDE.

SANDY HOOK, CT.
 Dear Sir: Congressman Belden, of Syracuse, painted his Thousand Islands cottage in '92 with Devoe; and painted it tagain in '99, with the same, of course. Takes 80 gallons.
 "What!> does it last only seven years?"
 Depends on what you paint for. No one can tell how long job of paint is going to last in any particular case. The paint may last ten years and the color five.
 A summer cottage is painted for col or, of course; it is also paineed to keep out water, to keepit from rotting.
 Seven years is good long time for paint to look fresh-depends on the color though; some colors last longer than others. Three is too long for some of the prettiest colors. Nothing pays better, in building house, than good job of paint; and nothing pays better, than keeping it up, than re. painting as soon as the paint shows signs of impairment. But this is tC keep it sound. For the looks, you may paint it whenever the freshness is off. It's matter of color; not o1 paint.
 Yours tuly. 42 F. w. DevOe & Go.

Rev. Newton Glazier of Greenfield,

taking for his text First Kings second
chapter, second verse, the last clause,
Davids words to Solomon reading
thus: Il go the way of all the earth: be
thou strong, therefore, and show thy.
self man. He spoke of the advan-
tages that came to one who had re
ceived a thorough education of the
strength and firmness of character
necessary for true manliness, and il
Illustrated very wildly what constituted
true manliness of character, and lastly
he spoke or the Christian manhood
which was the best of all. The ser
mon was able and interesting and was
very attentivey listened to. and if the
graduating class follow out the teach

their lives will be the better for hay

The present term closes on Friday.
June 18th, When the first graduate will
leave the academy. When the school
opened two years ago most of the stu
dents were either freshmen or pre-
paratory students. There was only
one sophomore, Charles Evans of
Green River, and one junior, Miss
Grace f. Boyd of Wilmington, who
now graduates from the normal course.
There are a number of advanced stu
dents who will probably enter other
schools next fall if the town does moth
ing to continue the academy.
Miss Martha Henriksen, who left us
in March to go to Brooklyn, was pro-

High school so her work here counted
