-The D. M. Read 00., of Bridgeport,
are now almost ready to open their new
addition, which will make them one of
the finest drylgoods and carpet stores in
the state. Their new advertisement in
today’s issue gives a few prices, but
hardly does their large stock justice as
they carry an immense line which is con-
stantly increasing, thus needing the room
about to be added. Dress goods and silks
consume alarge amount of shelving on
the main floors, and it can well be said
no choicer line of dress fabrics is shown
than that of the D. M. Read Go. Clocks
and wraps just at this season form .a con-
spicuous department, and this firm‘ are
leaders in fashion and low prices. The
illustrated catalogue just issued by them
has been sent to quite a number of whom
addresses could be secured, but will glad-
ly be sent toianypne by sending a request
to them. ' -
Haverly’s Mastodon Minstrels, that ex-
cellent company of world-wide reputa-
tion, will give one of their performances
in the Opera House onWeduesday of next
week. Of this organization the, San
Francisco Chronicle says:
A brilliant and enthusiastic audience
opened the fall season of the Baldwin
Theatre, and cheered and ap lauded the
Haverly Minstrel Contingent an evening,
and had the theatre been twice its present
size it would not have accommodated all
who sought to enter. It was afashionable
jam. The performance was spirited and
nove , and many of the performers sprang
into: immediate favor. The overture o
Excelsior was given with fine effect, and
showed the vocal power of the organiza-
tion to advantage; and also in the first
part Mr. Curran's tenor voice also found
admirers. A banquet sketch by John
German convulsed the house with lau h-
for. Au imitation dumb-bell excrc so
with roasted turkeys was excruciatingly
funny. The aartette of the company
formed of Laird, Ernest, Hanson and
Graham won an emphatic success. The
members are excellent singers and their
veices harmonize to a nicely. .

Sooond I. 3. Church.
The recent external improvments at the
M. E. church'makes the wish quite gen-
eral that the society would make another
improvement in theirown and the public’s
behalf. It is to erect a neat and tasteful
porch, stretching from north to south
towers, and extending over the front on-
trance stoop. and stairs. This would
shelter their own people from sun and
storms, and also give the horse oar public
a shelter when awaiting cars. Mayor
Hyatt would no doubt make a liberal
donation to the improvement on this ac.
count, and we know of others ready and
anxious to contribute. Such a covered
porch eculd be built in a manner to Im-
prove the present architecture of the
church front.

ness, which seems likely to end fatally. Mr.

his bed since the week before election. The
trouble at first was inflammation of the kid-
neys. Soon he was attacked with very
soVere night sweats. He also suffered from
sleeplessnem. Ho behaves he will never
leave his bed, and he says the symptoms are
the same as those of the disease from which
his father died a few years ago. His wife
and daughter share in his fears. For a few
days past he has been kept constantly under
the influence of valerian.
Federal Aid {0 Common Schools.

cators from the various large cities. The
senate bill for Federal aid to common

able report was made upon the principle of

BASEBALL RULES.
BOME IMPORTANT CHANGES AGREED
UPON BY THE JOINT COMMITTEE.
The Home Plate to be Made of Rubber
Instead of Storm—Positions of Bases—
Concher'l Privileges Defined—Squat.
Bats quy be Used—Other Changes.
CHICAGO, Nov. Ill—The joint rules com-
mittee of the national league and the Ameri-
can association of baseball met in this city to
amend and alter the playing rules of the two
organizations into a standard code which it;
is intended shall govern the play not only of
these two but of all organizations which are
under the protection of the national agree-
ment. With the exception of an hour’s inter-
mission for luncheon the committee worked
steadily from 10:30 a. in. until 6:30 p. m., and
yet left untouched a number of important
rules which will occupy their time today.
Thomost important adopted were as follows:
_ First—The home plate will hereafter cou-
sist of a square of white rubber, instead of
stone, so as to lessen the danger to players
and decrease the mortality among baseball
bats in the hands of nervous players who
have a habit of rapping the plate.
Second—The first and third base bags will
in the future rest entirely upon fair ground
instead of over lapping the foul lines as here-
tofore, thus relieving the umpire of all doubt
in deciding fair or foul balls at these points.
TIurd—The flat bat may now be used in
the association as well as in the league, at the
discretion of the batsman.
Fourth—In order to secure uniform size
and weight in balls used in championship
games, all associations playing under the na-
tional agreement will be required to use the
standard balls.
Fifth—Every ball used in a championship
game must be confined in a pasteboard box,
and the soul must bear the signature of the
secretary of the association of which the
competing clubs are members. .
Sixth—The rule requiring each club to
place upon its ”grounds two players’ benches,
and bat rack fer each, was adopted.
_The pitching ' rules and the lines of the
pitchers’ box were discussed at length, 'but
final action was not reached. There was
also along discussion as to what restrictions
should be placed upon coachers.
. The rule adopted was that which has been
in vogue in the American association. during
the past year, which keeps the coacher within
a limited square of space near first or’ third
base, and prevents his going anywhere new
the batman’s or catcher’s line. It is expected '
a rule will be .adopted which will prevent a
coacher openlng his lips save to direct the
players of his team. Several other altera- I
tions of minor importance were made.
Wednesday the annual meeting of the Na.-
tlonal league will convene.
A DIVIDED HOUSE
EXPRESSES_THE SITUATION IN‘ A
BROOKLYN CHURCH.
One Half the Congregation of Rev. Mr.
Staunfon Think He Should Go Instanter
and One Half Stand by Him—A Rather
Earnest Debate.
BROOKLYN, Nov. ill—The congregation of
the Fort Green Presbyterian church, which
was brought; into so much prominence by
the trial of its pastor, Rev. Benjamin Statin-
ton, on the charge of conduct unbecoming I
minister, met in the little church last even-
ing to consider their pastor‘s resignation
The meeting was exceedingly lively from
beginning to end and closed with a tie vote,
so that Mr. Stauntou is still in possession of
his pulpit. W. L. Hope, Sn, a trustee of the
church, presided. The resignation of the
pastor was read. It; was dated Oct. 24, and
is to take effect when his salary has been
paid in full.
W. C. Hope, Jr., a fiery young man. moved
that the resignation be accepted. W. L.
Cowl moved an amendment that Mr. Stunn-
ton be asked to leave the church at once, and
that th. resignation take effect Dec. 1. Elder-
James Watt, who championed Mr. Staun-
ton’s cause throughout the trial, made a
speech in Opposition to accepting the resigna-
tion. He said the charges which were
brought before the prosbytery were simply
street rumors. It would be the worst thing
the church could do to accept the resigns!
tion. Mr. Watt was applauded.
Mr. Cowl spoke again in favor of getting
Mr. Staunton out. “Tile finances were he-
hind,” he said, “and wore getting worse.
The church would be unable to pay its debt
or its expenses even. The people were dis-
gusted. They couldn’t listen to what was not
pure from the pulpit. The presbytery, by
its action, had implied that the congregation
liked slob things as were heard at the trial.
If the members of the church had stood up
like men Stauntou would never have been
sent back.”
Arthur Gilson, superintendent of the Sun-
day school, hoped the resignation would not
be accepted. He was sure that no man could
preach like Mr. .Staunton. The friends of
the pastor had given $200 more than those
opposed tohim. Since the trial Mr. Gilson
said the interest had been greater than it had
ever been before, and the church was pros.
poring. ‘
Young Mr. Hope proclaimed loudly that
the church could not. get any aid from the
presbytery if Mr. Staunton remained.
Mr. Hope, Sr., took up where the son left
off, and declared savagely that the most ac-
tive measures shouldbe takeuto oust the
pastor. He, for one, would not sit. under his
preaching.
Theodore Trindellingberg said that an in-
nocent man had been vindicated when Mr.
Stannton was tried. Even Jesus Christ. did
not escape aSpersion. ‘
“You don’t mean to compare Jesus Christ
to Mr. Staunton, do you?" said old Mr. H0pe.
“You can’t make such a comparison. If Mr.
Staunton does not leave the church I shall
take measures to have the pastorate dis-
solved. It is disgraceful that he should be
allowed to remain after what has gone on. ”
Then followed a. long ' discussion as to how
the vote should be taken. It: was finally set-
tled, after a great deal of abuse had passed
back and forth, that it should be by ballot.
Only members or those who contributed to
the support of the church should be allowed
to vote. There were many challenges as the
voting proceeded. John Mabon was one of
the persons whose vote was challenged
Young Mr. Hope explained that Mahon
bad a. pew in the church.
“It. is not so; he has no pew," said Super-
intendent Gilson.
"‘Themanwho says he has no pew is a
liar!" shouted young Hope excitedly, as he
rose to his feet with flushed face.
Cries of “Shame!" “Shame!" “Sit down!”
came from all parts of the house. Young
Mr. Hope sat down in confusion.
Finally the vote was counted and the result
announced—51 to 51.
While the vote was being taken the church
was in the greatest uproar, nearly the whole
congregation being on its feet. The an-
nouncement of the result made the con-
fusion even greater, and the meeting ad-
journed without. a benediction or a show of
order. A lively fight will follow, and it will
not be surprising if the church should be
ruined.
