LL Our Bridgeport Letter. Rev. Charles Ray Palmer, pastor of the North Congregational church, in this city, ailcd on Wednesday last on the steamer Bi‘itannic to attend the opening of the Mansfield college, Oxford, England. The corporation of Yale University, commis— sioned Mr. Palmer, one 'Of its members, to represent them, and to carry a new degree to the new college. Before his departure Mr. Palmer preached in his own church a historical sermon, showing the rise of Puritanism, and its progress in the thir- teentli and fourteenth centuries. The sermon was so much admired that by re- quest he repeated it in the South Congre- gational church, Sunday evening, Sept., 3011), to a large congregation, and at the close a resolution was adopted extending through Mr. Palmer, sympathy and con— gratulations to their Congregational breth- ren in Old England. On last Thursday evening last, Mr. F A. .Chaffe was united in marriage to Miss Lillian E Paddock, at the residence of the bride’s parents on Park street,by the Rev. George L. Thompson. The bride is a beautiful young lady and has many friends, and with her husband received the congratulations and good wishes of all ' present at this happy event. They were the recipients of many valuable presents, and after a wedding supper, they depart-, id for New York. During their absence they will visit Washington and other places in the south, returning about the lst, of November. I do not wonder that Judge Selleck was filled with wrathful indignation at the insult Offered him by some foolish per- sons in daubing his statue with paint. Perhaps the Judge has offended some of the Villains that he has given theirjnst deserts, in his oflicial capacity, for cer- tainly no one having any claim to decency would think of perpertrating such an out- rage on any one. The Rambling Wheelmen Of this city will hold their second annual lantern parade on Friday evening. The club has now a membership of over 70, and is one of the l:ading clubs of the state. One day last week about 18 of the club members participated in a run to South Nurwalk‘, taking dinner at the Mahackemo Hotel. This run proved to be one of the most en- joyable of the season, and the kindness of of Messrs. Newcomb & Walz of the hotel, will never be forgotten. The rooms of the club are at NO. 348 Main street, Where any wheelmen will find a mast hearty welcome. The will of the late Capt. John Brooks has been decided invalid by the supreme court. This decision has caused genuine sensation, because it was generally sup- posed bv the public at large that the will had been sustained by the courts. The Brooks homestead had been sold to Dr. I. De Ver Warner, and he had presented the same to the Y. M. C. A. and they had commenced building on the Site. Serious complications are likely to ensue from this last decision. The directors voted to suspend operations until the matter could be adjusted. Captain Brooks gave most of his property to the Presbyterian church Of this city. It is claimed the new Sun- day school building and parsonage has been built by money from another source. It is to he hoped there will be a satisfac- tory settlement to all parties concerned. Deacon Hannon Lane, who died last week of heart disease, is deserving of more than a passing notice. He had been affected with heart trouble for some time, and often remarked to his wife and only daughter, who survive him, that he ex- pected to die suddenly, btit he did not fear death and was ready to cross the dark river whenever the Lord so willed it. He had been a deacon in the Park street Congregational church for many years, and by his Godly living and earnest Christian work for the Master had won for him a high Christian character in the church and community. Some of his best work has been done in the courtly jail. He had led the noon day Sunday service there for nearly a quarter of a century, and many a poor plisoner will remember his earnest and pathetic words in their behalf. It was his delight to tell them of the love Of Jesus and point out to them the new life as taught in the scriptures. He will be greatly missed in this field of labor. His good works will follow him. The following letters will explain them- selves: . ' SEA SIDE CLUB, BRIDGEPORT, CONN., Sept. 30, 1889. HON. P. T. BARNUM: Dear Sim—The board of governors of the club, learning Of your proposed jom. ney beyond the sea, and desiring an op- portunity to express their appreciation of an eminent and public spirited fellow member, have instructed me to request you to name an evening prior to your de- parture. when it will be agreeable to you to receive the respects of the members Of the club, and their friends, at our rooms on Main street. Awaiting your reply, I have the honor to remain, Yours respectfully, FRED. A. MASON, President. BRIDGEPORT, Oct. 1st, 1889. My Dear Col.

New York Fashions. flats and bonnets for ordinary wear are of felt and the latter are very small and close to the head. Variety must be looked for in the former, and is found in very broad brimmed felts or furry beavers with crowns of the same or felt; in shapes hav- ing the brims rolled in many fanciful ways, in turbans, toques, English walking and sailor hats, these last being a novelty in winter. It is on hats moreover, that Odd ideas find room for display and ex- travaganzas as well. Here, the rage for black birds can display itself and every day brings something more bizarre in this line, where stiff, pointed quill feathers or spread out wings, shoot upward and out- ward with grotesque result. Happy the woman however, who can sport one or more blackbirds and in the midst of bright or delicate surroundings they are a wierd contrast, or placed on entirely black hats are worn with aesthetic gowns or cloaks. Black is a leading element in every de- partment of dress, and in every depart- ment of dress, and in millinery, colors on black produce many striking effects, as where such contrasts as canary and bright green, or old rose and blue, are placed on a sombre foundation, or where bright or delicate foundations are toned down by black. Enormous bows of wide black ribbon give a dash to large hats or with greater refinement, atrimming Of from one to two and a half inch black velvet ribbon imparts due gravity to a bright bonnet. Two and a half inches is indeed the pop- ular width for bonnet ribbon, narrowuess being preferable for heavy winter text- ures such as satin black velvet, double- faced satin or gros grain and satin in double weave. Contrasts are frequent or two tones. Birds and feathers are shown without end for trimming and through- out there is perpetual flavor Of artificial- ness, since feathenbands are dyed to or- der, while birds are made to suit require- ment, all sorts and sizes being dyed biack. To this the humming-bird is an exception and in clusters they perch, or nestle pretty in death as in life. The leading col- ors in millinery are Eiffel rust, old rose, grayish blue, green, plum, brilliant red, heliotrope and canary, the latter being very effective on dark or black founda- tions. Some new out-door garments are almost combination costumes and quite cover the dress below. Velvet and heavy cloth are cut in long, close shapes at the back, with great variety of idea as to the shape of sleeves, but a prominent contour shows wing sleeves over close ones below and sometimes the sleeves are of vel- vet with cloth garment. Velvet is every- where indeed a favorite combination, while more frequently than one would suppose, the new standard Velutina is substituted. Having given satisfaction in the past there is a steady demand for it that every year grows larger. Embroidv cry and braiding are lavishly used on cloaks and fur is combined with trimming of every description. NOTES. Undressed kid gloves are the only kind now sold for evening and the favorite shades are tan, gray or white with deli- cate stitching. Morning gloves are in darker tan, gray or white, with delicate stitching. Morning gloves are in darker tan, gray or rust shades and from four to five button length, though the Harris but. tonless sack glove is much liked, because wrinkling at the wrist and easily drawn 011' or put on. Fashionable shoppers stop now at 865 Broadway, for a look at Har- ris Bros. new glove establishment which is in their special line what Tiffany’s is to the jewelry trade. Nothing is kept throughout its spacious extent but gloves, and in the unexampled opportunity thus given for selection, every lady finds some- thing to suit not only herself, but her hus- band and children, since all the needs of both the latter are fully provided for. While bargains are always to be had and gloves of all grades, yet the fine custom peculiar to this leading house, demands the very best and latest and their impor- tations therefore give the keynote to what New York’s most stylish class demands. Black galloons, passementeric, or braids are the trimmings most used on colors and black is the favorite combination. Black velvet ribbon is largely used and later on, black furs will add their quota of effectiveness. Buttons are either very small and in conspicuous or else extremely large and placed only as ornaments. To Miss Lucy W—, the answer is given that fish-net over silk is being made for winter dresses and will be worn for evening in pale or bright colors. Black net is best over black and each color on its own tone. LUCY CARTER. Merit WinS.
