E Church netted a considerable ruin frbm’ its annual donation, held last eveian. at Lockwood's Kati. The special s lull was crowded throughout the issuing from ll o‘clock until about ll with din— ers, a very large number of which were white friends of the church. The supper served was a most boun~ teous one, and consisted of turkey, chicken and other delicacies. In addi- tion to the supper ice cream and cake were served. The cccaslcu was a very pleasant one for all present and not a small amount of interest was added by a line program of entertainment and speeches by local clergyman. The first number was a piano solo played very acceptably by Mrs. Joseph Huwley, of New Haven. and was followed‘ by re- marks by the Rev. Patti M. iitrayer, pastor of the South Norwalk Congrega- tional Church. A vocal solo, “The Meeting House Where [First Met Sue" was sung by Miss Ethel Thompson. Moses Aiken, of Stamford with his phonograph, gave several selections on the instrument. Frederick Wright, of Epiphany Apostolic College, Baltimore. Md" sang a solo which was loudly up olauded. Rev. George D. Egbert. pas- tor of the Norwalk Congregational Church. delivered an excellent address, urging unity in all things. including the family. church. and state. Mrs John D. Taylor sang a solo, "Siix Fleet of Eaitli Makes Us All of One Size." and Rev. Hubert B Morison, pastor of the screen. Methodist Cliuich deliv- died a well received address on “The Church.“ The pastor of the Knight Street Church. the Rev. C. P. Ciole, al- so made appropriate remarks.

Those who have visited the use Wear departments of late have notie ed the great predominance of black and white and new pieces. Each of the «lotion nightmbes in the trousscuu of a recent brldc has a large rosette and ends of satin taiieta ribbon caught on one side of the club- orate yoke. A novelty in complexion veils has been introduced which is gaining in popularity over the old-style complex ion. The outer black portion is in the form of a very coarsedlumond weave the diamond being about an inch in width. it is a decidedly novelty and is having a large sale. . There are some very pretty einbi'oiti eiy headings that have two iows of eyelets into which it is intended to run the ribbon as one would a single lac. log in a shoe. This gives a pretty ill- agonitl effect which some like very much better than the familiar straight headings. For the woman who cares. anything about dress it must be keen delight to be able to go into our stores and select at will from the beautiful sprinc silks and summer goods. They're a bewildering lot of beautiful colors and fabrics, and not to be restricted in the selection of them must be very pleasant. The beginning of Lent indicates the time when fingers heretofore busy with invitations and uckowlcdgementr are fashioning dainty underwear. af- ternoon frocksy negligecs. dressing sacks. etc, elc.. for the summer. it‘s a delight to get them finished and laid away between dalutlly scented such cts. ready to bring out with the advent of the warm weather. “We usually start our mill to its full capacity about the first of match. but begin to push oui plant as early as Cc tuber first.

Ht Responds iii Presentation in transients Speech LONDON, February ill—«This met. ropolis bestowed its highest distinction on Joseph Chamberlain. the colonial secretary, today..;w when It the Guild Hall it conferred on him the freedom of the city ins gold casket. Mrs. Chamberlain (wife was Miss Mary Blow dicott, of Washington. D. C) accom- panied the colonial secretaiy and they “were greeted on their arrival with a fanfare of trumpets. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain were conducted to the li- brary, where they were received by the lord mayor. Sir Joseph C. Dinsdale, and the lady maroyess The hall was crowded, among those present being the colonial secretary’s political col- leagues and adherents. who duly ap— 'lilllldt‘d the recipient of the city' s free dom. The address in connection with the presentation congratulated Mr. Cham— oer-lain on the services he had render ed to the empire during the last twen- .y~flre years, dwelling especially on the way in which he had welded the col- onies together. in replying, Mr. Chamberlain dis- cialmed any intention of making pollt~ lcal capital out of the occasion; but. he said he thought he might. in behalf of the government make an appeal for national support. The government had two great national objects in view, to establish beyond question Ililtlsh authority in South Africa. and to main- tain the unity of the empire. Both objects were involved in the South African war. The war would always be memorable. because it had called out a greater military effort than ever before asked from Great Britain and be-cause it had shown to friend and toe the potential strength and almost in- °xhaustlblc teacurces of the combo. He had not thought it necessary to stoop to meet the imputations of mi. tlonal greed. lust of territory or pet- sonal ambition and criminal motives luggested by the insignificant minor- ity. since the war had the approval of sister nations across the sees in remand to the immediate causes of the war. continue Mi. Chamberlain. it was not only i possible for a great nation to allow its subjects to be hu- miliated or oppr,essetl its engagements broken, and black gates opp ed; but the very existence of the e ire was involved, and the government was pledged to continue It until the dan- ver from which they had escaped was forever averted - After a referendum to shallow observ- ers abroad who finctold (heat Brit— sins downfall. Mr. Chamberlain con~ eluded with payin a, lowing tribute to the colonies in throughout the war. had demonstrated their intention to share the obligations as well as the privileges of the empire. it was a long step towards the consolidation which was now within measure of practical accomplishment. He did not envy the statesmen who would be will- ing to compromise‘tlie issue for which the cmpre fought The. nation was not viu ctlve tolls enemies If they surrend ed tpdsyit hey would be wel- comed all friends omorrow. The ex- pulsion of those who caused the war was only a measure of self preserva» tion Similarly immunity for houses was not humanity, but was cruelty to the loyalists and to the Boers. who now in thousands. recognising the fat- ility of the struggle were aiding Great Britain to end the war. in justice to those who had died. and as security for the survivors they must make the Boers recognize that they are defeated and take from them the barest possi- bility of repeating the attempt. To do otherwise would be to invite the contempt of foreign countries. whose affection it seemed impossible for them to gain. but. whose respect. at any rate. they were able to mature. A luncheon followed the reply of Mr. Chamberlain to the presentation address. cacao: was rob essv. Paid for Supper for Two Strangers the Other Night.

The other evening he started across th‘é Washington street bridge to go to (1er Schaub‘s cafe. where he boards, for his supper. He met two notices on the bridge, who asked him if he knew where they could get something to out. He readily re- plied that he did and told the stran- were that he was going to supper and they could go along with him They were not slow in accepting the invitation.
