Of the SIX Sunday’s in this year now
past. only parts of two have been favor-
able for church attendance. The Band
of Hope meeting, usually crowded, had
to be omitted altogether in January,
and last Sunday the attendance was
small, and but few of the children who
‘were expected to take part, put in an
appearance. The semi-annual election
of officers was held, and resulted in the
choice of Rev. F. E. Hopkins for pres-
ident, Dr. J. VanPelt Hicks vice presi—
dent, Frank S. Comstock secretary and
iardiner Heath treasurer. The soci-
ety numbers more than a thousand
members and has been in existence
about fifteen years.

' The electric light plant which first
brought grief to McCann at Mt. St.
Vincent, Central Park, has now played
some of its pranks on Mr. G. D. Nich-
olls who bought and erected it for the
ornamentation and illumination of his
Opera House. It has a provoking way
of refusing to work just when it is
needed the most, and actors and audi-
ences do not like to be eclipsed in dark-
ness without a second’s warning.
N icholls does not fancy such treatment
either, and he will, it is said, substitute
gasoline for it.
Rev. Mr. N eide has recovered from
the painful injury to his eye, and is

northern part of the town, have been

siduous in his labors, and kind friends
have done all in their power to relieve
necessity.
’ Mr. E. B. Cram has rented the
Brower place in this town with the
privilege of purchasing the property.
He will move in, with his family, in
the spring. ,
The free delivery system is now
working very smoothly and compli—
ments are being paid our energetic post
master, Mr. Monroe, for his wide-
awake activity in constantly improving
our post office facilities as he has done
throughout his term. Only one com-
plaint has thus far been heard. A lady
complained that she was not treated
fairly because the carrier did not call
and tell her there were no letters for
her, as well as to deliver them when
there were any.

The annual dinner of the board of

tended. Among the speakers was -Ex-
Senator E. J. Hill of Norwalk, and in
his speech he said : “I do not wonder
that you are proud of your beautiful
city and its greatness, and the progreSS
that it has made within the last few
years, so that you may be pardoned for
a little boasting, but‘remember that
there are a few other places in the state
where a man can live in comfort and
do business with a fair degree of suc-
cess and Norwalk is'one of those places
as we have the advantage of being
nearer to New York, and have the
largest borough and smallest city in
Connecticut. \Ve in Norwalk give due
credit to Bridgeport. I believe that
you have just begun to gather the
fruits of the policy you put in opera-

day this week, and in his remarks he
said that he had two thousand boys
under his care, and he felt a great re—
sponsibility resting upon him, as he
not only had the care of the boys
spiritual interest, but in ameasure the
care 'of the boys material interest.
Oftentimes he found them living in
desolate homes and without proper
care and proper food; and he cited a
case where one boy was lying. dead at
this time in a home where the poOr

hearted gentlemen Came forward and,
