—-W.B.Hall do Co. are doing a wonder-
ful trade in useful Dry Goods. The
Bridgeport Standard .of the 10th thus
speaks of the great store:
Curiosity to see something of the inside
workings of one of the largest houses in
this state, which makes a specialty of
dress goods, silks, satius, plushes and vel-
vets, and to witness a crowd of ladies all
intent on inspecting the enormous stock,
led a Standard reporter to the store of W.
B. Hall & Co. yesterday. Although the
day was stormy, all the counters swarmed
with purchasers. The reporter seemed
out of place among so many women, but
they were so intent looking over the bar-
gains in various departments that they
paid him no attention. A apt-cull display
is made in the department of evening
,party and wedding silks, and all the light
.and fashionable tints, as Well as hundreds
-of combinations are among the beautiful
,goods shown For street Wear there is an
endless variety of striped goods, With per-
ipiexing names, which every lady knows
no weli,ansl which easily puzzle the or.
dinary newspaper writer. Plushes are
much more popular than velvets just now,
because of their handsome sheen and
long nap. There are many novelties on
the lace and handkerchief counters, and
the holiday call for these goods. as well
saline qualities in hose, is simply enor-
mous. Besides these specialties, the
house is noted for acoinplete and almost
endless exhibition of all articles that one
can ask for in- a large dry goods empori-
um. Tables through the establishment
are loaded with noVelties that are especial-
ly adapted to the holiday trade, and a
lady who visits the store is sure to come
across just what she needs herself, as well
as what is sppropaiate forChrisimas gifts.
The annual report of the board of direc-
tors of the Honsatonic road which was sub-

A Memorable Service.
Sunday last, Christmas day, was a red
chch‘ day in St. Paul's parish. The ser—
vices commemorative of the nativity of
our Lord and also of the bir.h, in 1737, of
the parish, were of a doubly linen-sting
nature. The anniversary was inaugurated
on Christmas Eve, when n goodly congru—
gaiion gathered to join in the lust offices
for the Advent season, and iii those pro-
paratory to the dawning incarnation IIIIC.
Evening prayer was said, and immediately
after the benediction the church bell pcnled
joyfully forth. This was made the signal
for the illumination of a number of the
ri-sidences belonging to the dcscrndanls of
old St. Paul families. On Christmas morn-
ing the sacred edifice presented a very
grand appearance. The evergreen (let-or—
ations were fine, and the floral display
magnificent Most of the flowers were
memorial contributions. In the center of
the chancel, and directly over the sanc-
tuary gate, was an arch, the columns of
which were wrealhed with whte callus,
carnation pinks and camclias, and the
curving top with scarlet pomscitias. The
arch was an Edward Nash 1737, and Ne—
hemiah and Elizabeth Fitch Rogers 1742,
and. Philip Livingston 1790, and Daniel
‘NIISD 1821 t'okcu. Several feet to the roar
of the arch, and rising from the back of
the Holy Table was a design five feet long
and about two and one-half wide, which
was bordered with green (native pine),
and filled in with white immortelles and
lettered in crimson, which noble piece
memorized Ralph Isaacs, Sr., one of the
earliest projectors of the parish. At the
two ends of this design wore ecclesiastical
vases, the gift of one of the members of
the Camp family, which were filled with
the costliest of white calla lilies, a choice
oifering in remembrance of Jonathan
Camp, Sr., another 1737 parent. The
Samuel Jarvis, Sr., and Samuel Jarvis, J r.,
tribute of palms and of bright flowers
stoodat the right of th e choir, and outside
the chancel rail. A star of exquisite blos-
soms and most tasteful arrangement, was
forwarded from theirMount Ida Conserva-
tory by Dr. Nathan B. _Warren, and his
I) 'other, Stephen Warren, Esq., in memory
of their grandparent, E iakiu and Phebe
Boutou Warren 1787, and of their great-
grandparent, Esais Bouton. Colonel Le-
Grand B. Cannon of New York City, and
uniting with him his sisters, Mrs. George
Bird of New York, and Mrs. George H.
Cramer of Troy, and his cousin, Mrs.
Hannibal Green of Troy, forwarded an
armorial wreath of great elegance, which
was hung across the pulpit and attracted
much attention. This piece was in
memory of Commodore Cannon 1767, and
of Samuel Cannon 1809, and of LeGrand
Cannon 1817. The Beldcn offering was
the contribution of an honored Norwalk
descendant of that old a d influential St.
Paul’s faintly, and was a very beautiful
The Hnnford contribution, also.
was a rare piece and greatly admired. It
stood on a line with the front of the chan-
cc]. and was a worthy tribute to worthy
ancestors. The Ebenezer Church memor'.
iai was made at the forefather’s home,
and from myrtle, which he himself per-
haps planted. It stood in a prominent
place and was a very interesting donation.
Goold Hoyt was unforgotien. This ex-
celieut man’s testimony was properly
placed close by that to the departed clergy,
Mr. Hoyt before his death, having devised
liberally for ‘he rectors of St. Paul’s. The
Fitch remembrance, a graceful wreath of
white cape flowers, save the initial letter,
which was marked in purple, dropped
from the eagle section. Acrown of laurel
surmounted by a cross of crimson was the
rich design in remembrance of the depart.
ed clergy of the parish. There werea few
offerings in memory of later members, one
to the highly respected family from which
our earliest organist sprang, another to
the fast friend of Drs. Kcmpcr and Mead,
and another to one whom the parish has
recently very deeply mourned. And over
all of these was susptnded a star of roses,
of extraordinary beauty and superiority of
construction, an expression of his love for
his people, on the part of their absent
friend and rector.
The church during the morning and
evening was thronged. The theme of the
morning service and sermon was blessed
Christmas, and the offcrtory at the Holy
Communion, a large offeiing, was in aid
of the Society for the Increase of the Min-
istry.
The music. under the direction of Mr.
Edward M. Jackson, was of signal artistic
merit, but was chiefly remarkable and ad-
mirable in that that both instrumentalists
and vocalists seemed filled with the spirit
of the festival, and to feel what they ex-
pressed, and the charm consequently of
.their rendition of this important portion
of the service was absence of mere soul-
less beauty. Their Christmas strains will
we believe linger swoetly and inelfaceably
in the memory.
At 3 o’clock, p. m., the Sunday school
assembled in the church, when a letter of
affectionate congratulation and counsel
from the rector who is sick, away from
the parish, was read. The rector's If p.
resentative addressed the school and made
allusion to'and explanation of the different
memorials in honor of the parish anniver-
sary, andthen accompanied by the Rev.
Alexander Hamilton, who, with Rev.
Warner Nichols assisted in the morning
and evening services, and by the wardens
and several of the vestrymcn headed a
procession which marched over a portion
of the ancient grant to the parish by the
proprietors of common land. A Sunday
school banner had been planted near the
supposed point from which the old survey
lines were drawn, and upon the proces-
sions reaching the spot two of the psalms
of David were read responsivcly, after
which the clergyman in charge made brief
announcement of the occurrence in 1736
at or near that point, closing with the
gioria Patri. The creed was then re-
peated. and two prayers read, and the
gloria-in-excelsis sung and the benediction
pronounced.
The evening service at 7i o’clock con-
sisted of the full Christmas night order oi
service, with an historical discourse, by
the liev. C. M. Sellcck, in which the
speaker having first made respectful refer-
ence to t is old Norwalk fathers, pain

Secretary Manning.
The death, Saturday, at Albany of the
Hon. Daniel Manning will be noted with
profound regret throughout the Union.
His ability, integrity, patriotism and great
service to the country in the administra-
tion of the most important department of
the federal government are titles to res-
pect, the value of which is universally
conceded. His career has additional in-
terest for the illustration it affords of the
larger possibilities of American life. He
was born in Albany in August, 1831, of
parents whose humble circumstances
seemed to mark out for all their children
obscure lives. But through industry Dan-
is! Manning rose from the position of boy-
of-all-work in the office of the Albany
Atlas to that of editor and manager of the
Argus—4M0 which the Atlas was merged
-——and finally to the responsible and honor-
able position oi Secretary of the Treasury
of the United States. Mr. Manning was
intimately associated in political life with
Mr. Samuel J. Tildcn, and first gained
prominence in the field of national politics
as the recipient in 1880 of the famous let-
ter declining reuominntiou absolutely. To
his efforts the election of Mr. Cleveland to
the governorship of New York in 1882 was
largely due. and almost wholly due to his
influence was the rcafilrmittion of “the
unit rule” in Mr. Cleveland’s interest in
the Saratoga convention of 1884. which
led ultimately to the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland by the Chicago convention of
the same year. Mr. Manning. was chair-
man of the New York Democratic State
committee from 1881 in 1885, which cir-
cumstance gave him great power in State
politics and enabled him to guide the State
convention into the path of success. To
him, therefore, more than any other one
pet'son,'tlie democracy of the Union is in-
debted for its present posttiou in federal
politics,‘ The President, rcroguizing Mr.
Manning’s financial ability, appointed him
in March, 1885, to a leading place in his
cabinet. From that time to March, 1886,
when partially paralyzed in the treasury
building, his record was under the public
eye. and won for him and for the adminis-
tration golden opinions. His reports ex-
hibited the wide scope of his abilities, and
gained for him a place among the most
honored financiers of our history. His
life afiords an admirable example for
young men. not in respect to its partisan
relations, but in respect to the fidelity and
firmness with 'which he refused to sur-
render his responsibilityv because of the
clamor of those who Wore less thoroughly
instructed than he was.

The Pope’s Jubilee.
The approaching jubilee of Pope Leo
XIII is a remarkable event from the fact
that congratulatory messages and costly
presents have poured into the Vatican
from every quarter of the globe, and many
of them from rulers of countries whose
established forms of religion are Widely at
variance. ’ The Sultan of Turkey, for in-
siancc, the spiritual as well as political
head of a large portion of ihe Mohamme-
dan world and the official representative
of a faith which for many centuries, down
to our own time, has waged relentless war
against all Christians, is among the mon-
archs who tender their congratulations to
the venerable pontiff, to whom he also
sends a “pastoral ring valued at $50,000."
The total money value of the gifts which
have poured into the Vatican is estimated
at $15,000,000, and among the costliest
and rarest of them are those sent by Queen
Victoria and the Emporer William of Ger-
many. President Clcveland has sent a
handsomely engrossed copy of the consti-
tution of the United States, under which
all religions have flourished on American
soil. All the lending countries of the
world. in fact, and doubtless many remote
and almost inaccessible regions which
have been brought into contact with the
church through the zeal of its mission-
aries, have contributed to, swell the aggre-
gation of presents, which is probably un-
precedeutcd‘iu point of size and splendor.

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls the entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majoriiy of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each, year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were attirst. rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re~
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
iuore liberal than formerly, and better rating or...
