Good Friday.

it is rarely that so well considered,
well expressed and tersely written an
article on any subject touching the re-
ligious beliefs of the general Christian
public. is seen in a secular paper, as
this which we copy from yesterday’s
N. Y. Press:

"There are two ways of looking at
the historical event which is commem-
orated by a large part of Christendom
to-day. Looked at in one way the
death of Jesus of Nazareth was an ex-
piation. Looked at in another way it
was an execution. According to the
one idea Pilate and Caiphas were wick-
ed and unconscious, yet forcordained,

agents of the eternal will of God. Ac-‘

cording to the other idea they were
wicked and weak functionaries who
yielded to the demands of a mob.
Both views recognize alike the sublim-
ity of the scene on Calvary. That the
crucifixion was a martyrdom, no rever-
ent man denies ; but was it also a mys-
tery? Was his death the final cause of
his life or the necessary consequence of
that life ? These are questions that go
far deeper than any mere curious, phil~
osophical speculations. They take hold
of the very conceptions which we form
Of what Jesus was and did; of what it
means to be his disciple.

In despair of any conclusive decision
over being reached that shall settle this
discussion on the one side or the other,
the mind that desiresito be both broad
and deep naturally asks whether there
may not be truth in each of these two
fundamental ideas. Perhaps neither
excludes the other. The second view
' seems consistent with all we know of
the noblest human living and dying.
Socrates was judicially put to death at
the demand of the Athenian populace
because he was so much above and be-
yond his age than the masses of the
people that he seemed to them a dis-
turber of the peace, a denier of cher-
ished faiths, a bringer in of strange
and dangerous doctrines. He died
when he did because he lived as. he did.
The same is true of every lifelaid down
in the doing of duty, of John Huss, of
Arnold Winkelreid, of Abraham Lin-
coln, of the mother who falls a victim
to her love for a Sin). ring child. It is
not, then, an ignoble thought of Jesus
that in him was represented, concen-
trated, consecrated, that self sacrificing
love which is at once human and divine,
which, in proportion as it finds death
in duty, finds life in God.

But the earlier conception is not,
therefore, excluded ;it maybe included.
\Ve can conceive of a love so wise and
a wisdom so loving that the end of a
sublime life in a sacrificial death is
planned and purposed, not because the
sacrifice is desirable, but because it is
inevitable. Good Friday is not good
in itself, but good in its inseparable re-
lations to the Incarnation, the Advent,
the Resurrection and the Ascension.

P. T. Barnum’s Monument.

Mr. Barnum has set his fellow men ‘

of fortune a noble example of both
sound sense, as well as of a beneficiary
way of perpetuating his own remem-
brance in the gratitude of generations
to come, in the grand monument he is
going to erect to his own memory, not
in the cemetery, as so many wealthy
people so ostentatiously do, but in the
city Of Bridgeport, as a free gift to its
citizens for all coming time. It is to be
devoted to Literature and Science and
will be erected on Mr. Barnum’s lot on
the corner of Main and Gilbert streets
and is estimated to cost about a quarter
of a million of dollars. May the vener-
able showman, the generous donor of
- this magnificent temple, to mankind,
live to see his grand monument com-
pleted and profitably enjoyed by all of
his fellow citizens of the city his enter-
prise has done so much to adorn.

Union Fast Day Services.

A good audience assembled in the
Methodist Church last evening. Dr.
Noble conducted the opening exercises.
These over, Dr. Van Alstyne took
for his text I Sam. XII: 14, and spoke
on “The Duties of Christian Citizen-
ship.” Among these he named obedi-
ence to all legally appointed civil au-
thorities, by all citizens; watchfulness of
the trend of events social, religious, and
political; a proper estimate and exercise
of political obligation as well as enjoy-
ment of civil blessings; and diligence
in seeking to extend and intensify the
influence of Christianity throughoutits
nation. '

Easter.

Services in all the Norwalk churches
will be more distinctively in celebra-
tion of Easter than ever before. The
sermons all have the same trend and
lesson, and the music, which is espec-
ially fine in program, will tell the same
glad story of the Resurrection. One’s
only regret is that one cannot attend
all of Norwalk’s Easter services to-mor-
row. V '

"out of Sight.”

This performance is to be given in
Norwalk next Thursday, April 2. A
lady in the audience during a perform-
ance of “Out of Sight” in New York
laughed herself into hysterics at John
Maguire’s burlesque ballet dance. The
play had to be stopped until quiet was
restored. It is simply immense.

Literary Chit—Chat.
[Dotha Stone Pinned]

“7ho says people are not intensely
interested in all the minutiae of the
.lives of writing folk ? Here is an lex-
tract from the London Star which we
have seen quoted in the Tribune, Cur-
rent Literature. Critic, Book Chat, and
last of all that most conservative (in
such matters) weekly, the Christian
Union:

English literary women have mostly
something characteristic about their
clothes. Some of themgo in heavily
for jewelry, one or two show apartiali-
ty for old lace, and one is renowned
for wearing loud colors. Mrs. Lynn-
Linton always has on a black gown and
a white cap when she is athome. Lady
Wilde is quite the grand dame. She
dresses in handsome silks, more or less
sad in color, and wears long trains.
She has an immense partiality for
jewelry. The most charitably disposed
person could not say that MissBraddon
ever wears nice clothes. She likes solid
colors and affects velvet. Her gowns
have many furbelows. She wearslarge
diamond eardrops. She is a first rate
housekeeper. Ouida. who lives in Ox-
ford, dresses absurdly. Shc strives
after juvenility always. Her hair she
wears in a curly crop, bound by aband
of blue ribbon. Mrs. Campbell-Breed
wears gowns of the most recherche des-
cription. In the evening she afi'ects
rich, delicate brocades. Her gowns
are cut in a simple fashion, but they are
always decollete. Mrs. Stannard does
not waste money on clothes. She is not
ashamed to admit that a few seasons
ago, before she was as well off as she is
now, she did eighty parties in two
frocks. Marie Corelli dresses fairly
well.- Being very petite she goes in
for simple dresses. Light blue and
pink are colors that become her well.
Mrs. Hodgson-Burnett wears dresses
that look too youthful for her. Sal-
mon-pink, white, pale blue and soft
yellow are the shades that Mrs. Bur-
nett' favors most.

A publisher in speaking of the pas-
sage of the Copyright bill told graphi-
cally what he h id heard Mr. Scribner
say of the flurry there was at the last
minute lest the bill should not be
passed. Its sponsors were put to their
utmost endeavors to rally their support—
ers, rushing about Washington in the
greatest haste to bring them in. He
went on to give some facts in connec-
tion with the bill which are not gener-

It is considered a good thing, especially
for retailers and jobbers, as their
profit on cloth bound books is better
than on the cheap paper ones. But
right here let us be allowed to question
if as many people will buy the more ex-
pensive books. We decidedly think
not. The bill, however, will probably
not stop the pirating of books, as has
been supposed, as in order to copyright
a volume the type must be set on this
side of the Atlantic, as well as on the
other, and it must be a most salable
book which will repay this expense.
It probable that in order to evade this
requirement the type will be set over
here first, and the work then taken
across.

Someone frivolously remarks that
the saddest thing about the story of
Stanley’s Bear Guard is that we have to
hear so much about it. It is undoubt-
edly tiresome to be met at every turn
with some new book or review or
magazine article on the subject. It is
safe to say that there has hardly been
a single publication of note which has
not been made the mouthpiece of one
of Stanley’s officers since their return.
We feel as if we knew the ground
almost as well as if we had been over
it ourselves. The Sunday Tribune had
a fairminded review of Jameson’s diary
edited by his young wife. Very little
that is new is brought out, but as it
seems to us, a just summing up of
Jameson’s virtues, foibles, and respon-
sibilities for the disastrous results of
the Rear Column is given, by the re-
viewer. We think that it will be ac-
knowledged that Jephson’s book is,
next to Stanley’s, the most valuable
thing published. Herbert Ward and
Mr. Troup only succeed in showing
virulence towards Mr. Stanley when-
ever they attack the subject, so that
you instinctively feel that they are re-
garding it entirely from a prejudiced
point of view. Stanley, by the way,
must be rather unpleasant to get on
with. Every one of his companions,
with the exception of J ephson, to whom
he evidently took a great fancy, was
repelled and offended by his arbitrary
ways and brusque manners. Jephson’s
bright and smoothly written sentences
present a striking contrast to Stanley’s
slovenly style and utterly careless
writing. This is vividly brought out
in the preface which Stanley has writ-
ten to J ephson’s book. Here he seems
to appear at his very worst in the mat-
ter of expression. [One cannot help
wondering that a man who was a train-
ed newspaper man before he was any-
thing else, can make such glaring mis-
takes, and that his publishers should

but we suppose this last may be due to
the fact that they consider it more im-
portant to preserve the writer’s own
style, though it be bad, than to edit
him out of his book.

TO men possessed of com-
mon intelligence it must seem
a pure waste of moneyr to
print such absurd statements
as one reads in the clothing
advertisements these days—
pure chaff to catch 'gudgeons:
It doesn’t pay us to spend our
money in absurd newspaper
talk, and we reject the theory
that the bigger the lie the
more likely it is to impress the
average consumer of merchan-
disc.

We are conducting a very
large business upon strictly
fair and simple principles. We
make the best men’s and boys?
clothes we can, and, making
them ourselves, we label every-
lot of goods with its exact de-
scription and the quality of the
fabric. If it’s not “all wool”
we say so, for the infOrmation
of salesman and customer
alike. We mark our goods as
low as we' can afford to sell
them, and guarantee in writ-
ing that the invariable prices
are as low as same quality of
material and workmanship can
be bought elsewhere. We give
a'~ cast iron guarantee with.

 

 

every sale, which enables the-

customer to bring back goods
and receive his money without
feeling that he is asking a
favor. '

ti‘ade we are doing, and we

——OF——-—

NEW DRESS FABRICS

Was highly complimented Saturday. The exhibit is so much broader

than our announcement Of it.

It seems quite impossible to translate the

beauty of these TEXTILE ART WORKS into words. As a consequence
everybody found more to see than they had expected. One day is far too

short for a thorough inspection of either \Vools or Cottons.

COLORS alone are a. study, light tints being most favored. Tans and

Grays shade themselves in more ways than one would think possible.

Natural tints of the wool are given prominence, but flecks or lines of

brilliant color are used effectively among them.

PLAIDS take the widest range, beginning with the tiniest Checks and

running up to the broadest Cross Stripes ; variations innumerable, in color

and character.

Our gatherings in PLAIN DRESS GOODS should not be lost sigh
of in this great flood of novelty. They are complete, embracing all the

standard weaves. A marked feature of this display is the collection of .

ROUGH SURFACE FABRICS. These are Fashion’s favorites, and are

shown in great abundance.

Nothing short of sight can convey even an

approximate idea of the fancies which. have been brought out in them.

BLACK GOODS—rich, elegant and extensive [lines—the finest and

choicest, including complete importations in Henriettas, Serges, Nun’s

Veiling, Batiste, Drap dc Alma, etc, etc.

In conclusion we will say there are two values to a purchase, viz, what

it costs and what it is worth. Cork costs eight cents a pound, but if you

are drowning half a. mile from shore its value would be not what you pay
for cork, but what cork pays you. So of tasteful dressers. Not what you

pay for dress, but what dress pays you, that is the real test.
