A good democratic brother from Dan—

President Wm. R. Nash hits it this wise:
If the Mills bill passes the Senate, we shall

ber of new looms, which means more men

groceries and clothes for our merchants to

The eiiergetic Senator would also “do

ber of Congress, were it not for the fact
that his “assiduous attention to the lum-

ous attention.—Reooi-d.

A most interesting and delightful event

A good deal of our spiciest if not most
reliable local news comes to us from far
distant places. The following comes by
way of the Boston Pres: : ‘

It. is on (fit that “Commodore” Aurelius
Meeker is likely to become “r'esirluary le-
gatce" of the south portion of the Pottery
property, and will extend‘ his profitable

store for our friend, the Commodore, btlt
it might be premature to make mention of
it at present.
William Coleman, a well-to-do English-
man, residing in Fairfleld, committed sui-
cide Tuesday morning by shooting him-
self through the head. He used an old
carbine, which he loaded with a heavy
charge of No. 8 bird shot, pointed the
weapon at his left tetnple and fired the
fatal shot. He was 78 years of age, and
had been despondent of late, owing to a
severe illness.
Mrs. William H. Benson, the Waterbury
woman whose jealous husband attempted
to shoot her while she carried away her
child last winter, furnished an ex—
citing scene at the station of the

held a lengthy conversation and cut Devoy
with an open knife, saying she would
tear out his heart if he refused to give it

A bridal tour in acanoe is a new and
refreshing departure, and that was what
Westport witnessed Wednesday. Mr.
Cornelius Mitchell and Miss Agnes Lewis
were married in Trinity Chapel by the
bride’s father, Rev. A. N. Lewis at 2:30
and after a reception the happy couple
went to the harbor’s edge, the proud
groom seated his bonnie bride in one end
of his gallant canoe while he took the
paddle and away they went skimming
over the sparkling waters, bound for
some unknown haven of bliss to pass a
portion of their honeymoon. Their de-
parture was witness by a select party of
friends who waited them off on a breeze
of good wishes for a pleasant voyage and
a long life in .wbicb to paddle their own
canoe.-—Record.

DARIEJV.
The rector, wardens and vestrymcn of
St. Luke’s Parish, Dar-ion, wish to place
on record the following minute expressions
of their sense of the loss sustained by the
death of their associate and friend, Mr.
Vincent Colyer, who entered into eternal
rest Wednesday, July 11th, 1888.
By the death of Mr. Colyer we lose one
who was endeared to us by long years of
intercourse. Tire parting from him causes
us individually deep and heartfelt sorrow.
The Parish has cause to mourn the loss
of one who was always keenly interested
in its welfare, and who on all occasions
was ready to aid it with his counsel and to
give ungrngingly of his time and means to
its support when there was need. In en—
rolling his namelnow on the list of its
members who have departed in the true
faith of Christ, and are at rest, we cannot
but bless God for his good example, and
pray for our perfect. consummation and
bliss with him in God’s eternal glory.
Our Parish is not alone the loser by the
death of ottr friend. In his departure the
oppressed and distressed of our broad
country lose one from whom an intelligent
sympathy and a well directed effort for
relief has always gone out. -
The town in which he died also loses a
public spirited citizen who has given
much of his time to its service and worth-
ily represented it in the highest counsels
of the state.
In every sphere of life Mr. Colyer never
failed to manifest the kindness and sincer-
ity of his Christian character which won
for him the respect and love of all who
came in contact with him.
Totlre wife and family of our departed
friend we extend our deepest sympathy iii
this time‘ of affliction. and trust that they
will find comfort from the God of comfort
~ and consolation.
Renewed, That a copy of this minute he
entered upon the Parish records and be
sent to the family of our departed brother.
Also that it be sent for publication to the
neighbor-ling logal papers.

receive. In a great majority- of cases rn which
pension was granted for diseusc. the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rare, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As lune passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneousiyre-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in

produced but we find it out, if it is a thing that should
be here. That you know very well if you know the
store at all. And you know that getting things on our
shelves grinds their prices to the lowest point.
From January to January, busy minds are planning
new things and better things for you. There is no “good
enough” point for us. Better qualities, better shapes,
better service, is the all-the—year-round aim. The yes-
terday standard won’t do for fzo-day. The look is all the
time ahead.
And yet buying and selling is only one part of' our
doing here.
While we are reaching out to the ends of the earth
and bringingin big money’s, worths, there is just as car-
nest thought to make your couringhcrc pleasant whether
you buy or not.

about, look about. You won’t attract attention. Hun-
dreds, maybe thousands, are walking and losking lust
as you are. The place don’t seem like an ordinary store
—-nrore like a grand Fair 01' Bazaar. You don’t feel that
every sales person’s eye is on your pocketbook. You can
study the styles and the stuffs You can see the score.
You can go or come, hurry or loitcr, or sit in a quiet
nook and not for a moment feel like an intruder, o- as if

see you or to care what you do. You realize that you
are welcome as a locker-on.
We try to make the store seem more like home to
you than anywhere else you can go outside your own
