FAIR WEEK AT READS.

1t is "tair week" at "Reads." It doesn't make any difference what the weather may be outside, the interior is cheerful; the birds sing, the flowers bloom, and the tea room is bower. Everything indicates spring, from the basement to the furniture department of the D. M. Read COmpany'S store, in department are the novelties for spring, the new things for the delight of the ladies are being shown. No- where is this more noticeable than in the ladies' own department, where lingerie and negligee garments are dis played in all the beauty of their pris- tine newness. Light and dainty with ruffle here and bit of lace there feminity should be delighted with the display and possessed of a desire to have some of it for her very own. In show case in front of the main en- trance is piece of handiwork by Miss Hattie Hinckley, consisting of a large egg drawn by rabbits. In the case are also shown the latest ideas in wOmen's collars dainty and chic. The store has in it's women's department, bridal outfits and other exclusive gar ments. In the baby's department are many pretty bonnets, caps, booties, jackets, etc., which are equal to any thing obtainable in New York. Much of 1t is hand work. The real Mecca of the visitors is the tea room, one sec tion of the furniture department transformed. Vines bearing wistaria blossoms and bushes abloom with lilacs form the scenic background. The trunk of an ancient apple tree, still showing the woodpecker's borings, is the center-ptece, and deserves con- mendation. A program of 16 numbers is rendered every afternoon from un- til 5.30 o'clock by Jerome Mays banjo and from 10 until 11.3O o'clock a. m., a piano player recital is given. Tea is served every afternoon from 2 until 5.3O o'clock. elf it comes from Reads it is all right" most true saving.

FATHER DoNoHUE's LECTURE.
ST ROSES CHURCH.

FATHER DONOdUE'S 5 LECTURE.
 St Roses church was omfortably filled, Thursday night, March IT, at the lecture and sacred concert given
 for the benefit of the church. The speaker of the evening was Rev Father Father Cronan at New Milf ord. His subject was "The life of St Patrick, '' and he handled his subject in a mas terly way, holding the inte rest of his
 hearers to the end. He chose as his
 text, "Ye have not chosen me, but I
 have chosen you." In opening, the
 speaker showed how aptly these words
 of Christ applied to St Patrick. It was in the year 432 when he became a
 made him a Bishop and he again set
 foot on Irish soil, converting the people
 to the Christian faith. St Patrick not only planted the seed but he lived to see the entire island converted to Christianity without single drop of blood being shed, but in the sixth and seventh centuries savage hordes poured out of Northern Europe and destroyed their property completely, but the Irish Catholic church esta blished monas- teries, which acted like yeast covered were an island of sai nts, but in the D inth century they were slain by the Danes and their houses and churches were destroyed and they fled to the mountains for 200 years. He referred to the destruction and loss of life caused by Henry the 8th and Queen
 Elizabeth. In the year 1341 the Irish rose up in rebellion and the English Parliament sent Cromwell over to ex- terminate them because they wanted to worship God as St Patrick had taught them. In closing he spoke of the great progress made in Ireland in the last half century, which was evil dence that God had not forsaken His people who had passed through much suffering. Bridgeport talent assisted in the musical part of the program.
