They will reside in this city. The Fisk Jubilee Singers gave a concert in the North church, last Monday evening, and the church was crowded by an appreci- ative audience. The selections were mostly hymns of a sacred character and their sing- ing was very sweet. Rev. Mr. Shelton, of Birmingham, agent of the American Mis- sionary Society, made a short address in behalf of the Fisk University, with which these singers are connected. Some of the members of this band of singers gave some interesting and thrilling accounts of the hardships and difficulties that they suffered to get their education. A handsome and complimentary offer has been extended to Mr. Julian II. Ster- 'ling. of this city, by the New York World to join the staff of the editorial department. Mr. Sterling has been the correspondent of that paper in this city for a number Ofyears. ‘ The above offer proves that Mr. Sterling is looked upon as an able writer. William Mooney, father of the late City Clerk Mooney and William J. Mooney, of the Farmer’s staff of reporters, died of heart disease, on Friday last, at his residence on Calhoun avenue, aged 60 years. Hon. W. D. Bishop stated before the railroad commissioners on Wednesday last that surveys had been made with the view of building an elevated road through Bridge- port, with a new depot included, to cost $1,500,000. This will do away with all the grade crossings. He stated that the amount the road intended to spend on these improvements was greater than the capital stock of the Housatonic road, and much greater than the capital stock Of the N auga- tuck road. Vice President and General Manager Stevenson apptared before the commissioners in reference to erecting gates attire North aVenue crossing. He said he was ready to erect gates and fence the tracks if the commissioners so ordered. Conductor King, of the Consolidated road, fell through a manhole on Main street, on Saturday night, and was severely injured. Mrs. Nancy S. Bulkeley, widow of the late Dr. Sturgcs B.

Dr. Noble, of Nor-walk, preached yesterday in the South church, this city, morning and evening. The subject of the morning sermon was “The Humanity of Christ.” His subject for the evening was “The Battle of Life.” Dr. Noble was lis— tened tO both morning and evening by large and appreciaiive audiences, and he made a very favorable impression upon his con— gregations by his able and eloquent sermons and serious and devout manner. Rev. Dr. II. M. Jackson, of Richmond, a., has declined the call to St. John’s church, this city, and accepted the call to the Bishopric of Alabama. The following beautiful letter written to Mr. D. W. Kis- sam, junior warden of the church : RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 4, 1990. MY DEAR MR. Kissauz—Until last Thursday I confidently expected to make my future home in Bridgeport. The neame this election to the Assistant Bishopric of Alabama. I had before heard some rumor that I was thought of in that connection, but I did not regard it as a probable contin- gency, indeed I did not regard it at all. Still came and just at a time when I was begin- ning to look forward to my life in Bridge- port with pleasurable anticipations. I had met many of your people and had cordially liked all I met. I had estimated the resources of your church life, and I had forecast the nature of' your church work,and I was wel‘_ satisfied to give you the middle term of my life which in fact was my best. But I do wish I could express the pain with which I must tell you that I deem it my duty to obey this call of the ct urch, which I love in every fibre of my being; a call so imperative that I can do nothing but bow my head in acquiescence and say, "Here an I.” So therefore, I must ask you . warden to convey to the vestry the intelli" gence that I must decline the call with which they have honored me, I beg you 0 think kindly of me and believe that I would not inflict upon you even the slight- est disappointment without pain, nor ex- woept upon the sternest compulsion. Very truly yours, B. M. JACKSON. Bri lgeport, Nov. 10, 1890. w. G. L. AUseful Presentin every package Sevens; the best Washing Po vder. Sold by grocers. NE‘WC'ANAAM ‘ Election passed off quietly. Thorough work was done by all parties. The repub- lican majority, although nominal, was grati- fying after the defeat of its ticket for town Oflicers a few weeks ago. Indeed, since re- ceiving reports of the tidal wave of demo- cratic victory which has swept over the country, the republican rooster of New Canaan has a very animated strut. He needs neither an Overcoat nor an umbrella, for he don’t feel the cold nor fear snow storms, but perched on the roof of head- quarters he crows “We’re all right! ” Judge Pickett Of New Haven addressed a. republican mass meeting in Raymond’s Hall the evening before election. He replied to Mr. DeForest’s speech of the previous Sat- urday. He Was not as sarcastic as DeFOrest, but more argumentative and dry. DeForest was more of a success with those who laugh, but Pickett with those who think. Senator B. l’. Mead will again represent this district in the senate at. Hartford, hav- ing defeated the democratic catdidate from Ridgefield by more than two hundred votes. Andrew Jones, for the second time will rep- resent this town on the republican side of the general assembly. He defeated the democratic nominee by sixteen votes. The prohibitiOn ballot had the word “For” prefixed to the title of the office for which the candidates were running. On this account it was said it would be thrown out, but we have heard no more of this kind of talk since the wounds of defeat have be- gun to heal. The prohibition nominees in this town were excellent men, and very self sacrificing, but it has become clear that nothing can be done in this way, and we hope to see our friends, with whose object we sympathize, devise some method before another election that will command the con- fidence and enlist the respect of as sincere temperance men'as themselves. Twenty-six drunks disgraced themselves and the town the first day license went into effect here. These were the first fruits of the campaign lie that “there is as much drunkenness under no license as with li- cense.” If only some who voted to make these poor unfortunates, could suffer them- selves, or their families could be made to suffer what these weak individuals and their families will have to endure, judgment would be brought a little .nearer where it belongs. But wait! “The, mills of the God s” &c. Union Thanksgiving day services will be held in the Baptist church, Thankso'iving day morning, the Congregational, Baptist V and Methodist churches uniting. Rev. H. S. Kidd. pastor of the Baptist church will preach the sermon. Mr. Hallam of Stamford will begin giving lessons in singing to a class of over thirty ladies and gentlemen, in the chapel of the Congregational church, Friday evening. The new plate glass windows in the stores in front Of' the Opera House, add greatly to the attractiveness of this splendid new en- terprise. The walls are now being put on in the auditorium, and the whole structure approaches completion. Next to H. B. Rogers & Co’s. factory, it is the largest building in town, and if all of its. seating capacity is used,one—third of the entire popu- lation of the town will have to turn out. It is our Jumbo, but the man who owns him, rides on top. The Consolidated road has erected a new wooden bridge at Talmadge Hill crossing The span being lengthened, there is a gain in the width of the highwaybeneath. On Wednesday last, the hotel bar room had to he closed owing to the fact that. : number of men who had drank to excess made themselves obnoxious to theyproprie- tor. In New York, where the rum traffic is carried on to perfection, hotels and gin-mill: employ “bouncers.” These are professional pugilists, and if any customer nets fightintE drunk he is thrown into the street.

Mr. Andrem, one of our highly esteemed summer residents, improved a portion 0 his vacation by using his Kodak on the superb scenery Of our suburbs. He has favored our editor with a COlleetion of views, giving a glimpse of the Congregational church through the elms, cemetery lake and one of the avenues looking west in the ceme- tcry, also a very beautiful photograph of the ice pond from the bridge, the play ground of the public school showing scholars ai recess and a field of wild carrots back of the Methodist church. The views show that Mr. Andreni has a true artistic sense in’ selecting situations for his camera, and in the development of his pictures he has shown rare skill. ... _———..._<->__. .....

The sensitiveness Of Sims Reeves, the world famed tenor, is well known among those who are intimately acquainted with him. He cannot bear the slightest noise while he is singing, and it is not unusual for him to stop abruptly in the middle of a song if his audience does not. maintain a rigid silence. He was singing at a concert in the Ryde Town hall, and when in the midst of the most affecting part of that old favorite “Tom Bowling,” the clock in the tower commenced to chime the hour. The bell and the magnificent Steinway grand piano were horribly out of harmony, and Sims Reeves completely .gave it up. He waited until the clock had finished striking ten, and then repeated the verse in a. manner which amply repaid his hearers for the in- terruption—London Tit-Bits. lien t's' 111‘ runs: The number of private hotels and resi- dential premises in Paris of a rental of over $5,000 a. year is surprisingly small con- sidering Paris’ reputation for wealth. There are 81,291 houses, divided into 1,141.- 955 tenancies, of which 28,150 are work- shops and manufactories, 303,328 are shops and places of business, and 810,463 are ap- partements or “hotels” for habitation. Half of these appartements do not bring in . a higher rental than 860 per unnum. That is the average sum which a. workman will have to pay for two diminutive rooms on the fifth, sixth, or seventh story of a crowded tenement. Of flats ranging in rent from $.20 to $300 a year there are 32,947; from $300 to $800 rental, 30,775; from $800 to $2,000 rental, 12,222; from $2,000 to $4,000 a. year, 1,980; while of inhabited houses with a. rental of over $4,000 there are only 470. Shop rents in the busy parts of the town are dear. Large blocks of buildings belong, not to private individuals, but to insurance com- panies and banking establishments, who charge what they like, and do not; care much whether a. shop or an appartement stands on their books empty for a time be- cause an applicant refuses to pay an ex- cessive rent, feeling sure that soon they will be able to extort their own terms. It is estimated that the gross rental of Paris reaches the total of $150,000,000 a year, while the value of the whole of the prop erty in the French capital, dwelling houses, shops and manufactories, is put down at $2,200,000,000. There are nearly 49,000 places of business or flats vacant.— Paris Letter. A Difference in Salaries. Dry goods houses are noted for paying lOw wages to their clerks because the sup- ply of clerks is so abundant. In somc'of the smaller stores the pay runs as low as $3 a week. But; the buyer on whose judg- ment the sale of next year’s fabrics depends gets half as much as the president of the United States. The smallest. and some of the largest salaries are paid in the dry goods business, How does the buyer for the house distin- guish in advance what the fashion for next year is to be? p ' All, that is where it requires a wide awake man. He must watch the growing tendencies among the firm’s richest and most fashionable customers at; home and abroad. What-ever has become popular with them will make its way among the masses; and this tide the house must catch and swim along with its—Interview in New York Star. Doctoring Trees. Do not hunt; for borers at; all, but; just doctor them a. little. Make a. mixture of about one quart of wood ashes to a pail of water and stir it; well. Next make a ridge of earth around the tree a. few inches from it, and high enough so that when you pour your mixture into the circle it will run into the holes and kill the worms. It. is sure death to them and costs less than one cent a tree. You may have to do it twice the first year, but after that a. very little care will keep your trees free from them. If you have no wood ashes use a. thin whitewash of lime in its place. If you have a. large number of trees you can use strips of zinc or sheet iron about four or five inches Wide and long enough to put: about the tree in lace of the circle of earth—New York ournal. Politeness in a Street Car. Mr. Charles N. Richards. a clerk at; the Capitol, tells about a trip hemade in an avenue car. He says he got into the car at the Capitol and every seat; was occupied. He sat on the lap Of a good natured and accommodating friend, and after the car passed the foot of the bill a. heavy weight colored woman entered. No one ofiered her a seat until Richards arose and said, as was his usual practice. “Take this seat, madam.” He had forgotten that he was not sitting on one of the car seats. His sitting friend objected to the proposed transfer, but, rising with alucrity, offered his seat. She accepted it promptly.— W'ashington Star. To Remove Paint Odors. The smell of paint may be taken away by closing up the room and setting in the center of it a pan of lighted charcoal on which have been thrown some juniper ber- ries. Leave this in the .room for a day and a night, when the smell of the paint will be gone. Some persons prefer a pail of wa ter in which a handful of hay is soaking. This is also efiectual in removing the odor of tobacco smoke from a room—New York Telegram.

A 'WONDERFULLY RAPID CURE BY THE CUTICURA REMEDIES. I have used your Cutlcura. Remedies in two cases where it. proved to be successful. The first was in the case of a boy a. year and a half old. His face and body were in a. terrible condition, the former being completely cov- ered with sores. I took him to the Massena. HulphurSprin s, but he did not improve any. I was then adv sed to try the Cutlcura. Reme- dies which I did. He took one and a. half bottles of Cutlcura. Resolvent. when his skin was as smooth as could be, and is to-day. I used the Cuticura on his sores and the Unti- cura. Soap in washing him. He is now five years of age, and all right. The other case was a. disease of the scalp which was cured by washing with the Cutlcura Soap and rubbing in the Guticura, one bottle of g‘utlcura. Re- solvent being used.
