Church Dedicated. ‘
The newly completed and pretty
little Swedish Church in East Norwalk,
was, Sunday afternoon, publicly dedi-
cated to the worship of God in a most
interesting and impressive sauce,
which was opened by the reading of a
portion of scripture in the Swedish
language. This was followed by the
singing of a hymn by the chOIr in their
native tongue, which Was full of sweet-
ness and harmony. An address then
followed by the ltev. Mr. chg, of the
East Norwalk .\1. E. Church, who in
the course of his remarks spoke of the
sacrifices which these good Swedish
peopic had made to build this place of
worship, and that their presence in any
community would be a power for good.
Next iollchd a dedicatorynprayer
and address by Rev. Dr. Noble, which
was listened to With deep ,interest by
the large number present. A delega-
tion of “King’s Sons” from the First
Congregational Church were present
and at the close of Ur. Noble’s remarks
stepped forward and one of their num-
berwlir. Frank Handle, in a few well
chosen and fitting Words presented to
the Pastor of the church a very beau-
tiful communion service of silver, con-
sisting of a plate, two goblets and a
flagon, the gift of the King’s Sons to
ths new church.
The Pastor reSponded in a few words
expressIVc of the thankfulness he and'
his people felt for the beautiful gift
and note. few were affected to tears.
After the presentation of the com—
munion servme Hey. Mr Mai-ling, of
New York who supplied the pulpit of
the South Norwalk Congregational
Church on Sunday, then made an ad-
dress which was full of interest, and in
which he bade the Swedish church and
. people "God speed.”
Rev. Mr. Pegg then made an appeal
fora large collection as there was a
debt resting upon this new church
which it was hoped might be liquidated
with the aid received by this means.
A generous contribution followed, af-
ter which Rev. Mr. Tucker, of the
Adventist Church in East Norwalk,
spokea few Words of encouragement
and welcome. which was followed by
the singing of another Swedish hymn
by the choir in their own language.
The interesting servmes closed with
the singing of the Lloxology in which
all could join, and as the sunlight
streamed in through the windows,
flooding the room with its glory, it
seemed as if God’s smile rested upon
the efforts of this worthy people in the
completion of their new church and its
formal dedication to His worship.

The Connecticut Congressmen.
The New Haven News has the follow-
lowing from its \Vashington corres~
pondent :
Mr. Wilcox, of the New Haven dis-
trict, will probably be Offered the chair-
manship of some minor committee,
which throws in a small crumb of pat-
ronage in the selection of a secretary.
Judge DeForest, of Bridgeport, will
undoubtedly be placed on the commit.
tee on Rivers and Harbors, and Mr.
Sperry, of Hartford, is indifferent as to
what committee he is placed on. Thus
the Connecticut delegation will be
mutually satisfied.
It should, however, be recollected
that the appointment of Judge DeFor-
est is by far the most important of
all the appointments suggested. The
Fourth district, which he represents, is
pre-eminently a seaboard district. Its
commercial importance is second to
none in Connecticut, and to deprive
her of a-proper place on the'committee
would be a virtual relinquishment of
all those commercial advantages which
make up the prosperity of her people.

Fulford Wins.
Saturday, one of the greatest pigeon-
shooting matches ever held in this
country was decided at Woadlawn Park,
L. I The contestants were E. E. Ful-
ford, of Bridgeport, and Capt. J Ohu L.
Brewer, of Philadelphia. They are
conceded to be the best shots in the
world. The match was the outcome of
ii“? matches these men shot at Marion,
Saturday’s match was for $1,000aside
and the gate receipts. Fulford backed
himself. The day was considered a
very poor one for pigeon shooting, yet
the score made by Fulford-is consid-
ered a remarkable one. Each man was
to shoot at 250 birds. Fulford killed
223 and Brewer brought down 216. The
gate receipts amounted to $700. Ful-
ford was cheered to the echo and
hoisted upon his friends’ backs when
the last shot was fired. Brewer says he
is open to shoot anyone in the world
for the championship and $3,000, which
he won in 1888. He bars no one.

Evidence Concerning the Treat-
ment of Policy Holders of the
Connecticut Indemnity-
Association.
NORWALK, CONN.. Nov. 17th, 1891.
The Connecticut Indemnity Ascocia-
t-ion, W'aterbury, Conn.
GENTLEMEN :—Your agent, G. A.
Franke, having just handed me a New
York draft for $368. 57, I wish to publicly
thank you for your promptness and
square dealing. I am satisfied. from
my experience with you that since I
was insured for-five thousand dollars,
with weekly acc1dent benefits of twent
dollars in 1889, that your company a -
ways will act for-the best Interests of
its policy holders.
Your ready payment of my claim for
eighteen weeks and three days con-
firms my good opinion of you. .
‘Wishing you the success that you so
well deserve, I remain
Very trul yours,
( Signed) div-o. W. BAEKs.
NEW HAVEN, Comm, Dec. 6th, 1890.
GENTLEMEN :——Let in 6 thank you most
dncerely for your promptness in pay-
ing me my claim of $1,000 on the policy
issued to my late husband,Isaac Watts.
I shall always bless the day that he in-
so red his life in your company. You
have done me a great favor by paying
the claim before it was due. My hus-
band had only paid in $97.76, and I
have received such great benefit.
Yours very gratefully,
(Signed) SARAH A. WATTS.
PROVIDENCE, B. 1., Jan. 2—1, 1891.
The Connecticut Indemnity Association:
Let me thank you for your prompt
and courteous treatment. Mr. W. A.
Armstrong formerlyof Norwicb,Conn.,
was insured in your company more
than six years ago, and the entire cost
to him, at the age of 58, to carry $1,000
insurance, providing 35 per week In
case of disability, was only $101.75, or
$16.40 per year. Deducting the bene-
fits paid him during _his life, the net
cost of his $1,000 insurance was only
$11.75. This money will prove a great
help to me. Had he invested the same
money in the savings bank, he would
have realized nothing during his disa-
bility. and would have left me only
$113.16, instead of the $1,000 at death.
Old line companies would have paid
but $303 insurance for the money paid
to your company by my husband.
( Signed) ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG.
DANBURY,CONN., June 16, 1891.
I thank you most sincerely for your
very prompt payment of the insurance
money due under policy 921,0n mylate
husband, J. Beardsley. He had been
insured in your company since 1884-,
and had always found you generous
and reliable in your dealings with him
as a policy-holder. My thanks are es-
pecially due your company, because,
although Mr. Beardsley, while tempo-
rarily deranged. committed suicide,
still you in no respect questioned the
validity of my claim. The payment
was not due me by the terms of the
policy till August 27th. You have paid
me seventy days in advance.

press my thanks to your company for
the (great kindness shown me. My hus-
ban ,Eddie McGuo, insured in your
company, April 24, 1891, for $51,000,
He died of typhoid~
pneumonia, July 19, and to-day, July
22; your general agent, Mr. Hastings,
handed me your check for the full
amount of my claim. He made out all
papers for me, and kindly brought me
your check, thereby savin ' me much
trouble and annoyance. T feel that
this promptness and attention on your
part should not be overlooked by me ;
thereforeI shall be glad to do any—
thing in my power to let my friends
and others know how you do business.
I think the benefit of your insurance,
as shown in my case, should lead many
others to insure with you. Yours was
the only company in which my husband
was insured. Thanking you with all
my heart for what you have done for
me, I remain
Yours very respectfully,

WHAT MISS SPINSTER sons:
[From Thursdays Edition]
That a favored few spent a delightful
evening at Colonel Roberts" Institute.
The entertainmentlast evening was ex-
ceptionally interesting. The reception
room was artistically decorated with
Christmas green. t each side of the
entrance to the reception room two
century plants. yearlings, were placed
and each guest passed between them.
The novel idea was suggested by Prof.
Noon. The idea is that the Military
Institute extends its friendship and
greetings to all its friends for the com-
ing one hundred years. Mr. Noon
favored the audience with one of the
most perfect rccitations ever given here,
and all expressed regrets that the even-
ing had passed so rapidly. Mr. and
Mrs. Harstrom won favor with all
music lovers. After a visit to the dining
room all were ready to enjoy the mazy
dance in the school room. Among
those present were Miss Baird and a
large number of her pupils, Miss Chol-
well, Miss Alice Cholwell, Miss Miller,
Miss Vanderhoef. Miss Stuart, Miss
Anna Woodward, Miss L. Brinkie
Woodward. Miss Agnes Gibbs. Miss
Alice Cram. Miss Fannie Leonard,Miss
Bertie Wilson, Miss Daisy Bird, and
others, attended by their chaperones,
passed a happy evening.
That a fine program was rendered at
the residence of Mr. A. J. Croiut, on
West avenue, last evening, and enjoyed
by a large number of people. The ex-
hibition of living pictures were artis-
tically arrangedand the beautiful girls
seemed to have lost their own individ-
uality for the moment. Mrs. Sawyer
pres1ded at the piano. Mr. Hopson
played on the violin. Miss Willcock.
of Brooklyn, was charming in voice
and manner. Miss Mart-ha Knapp with
her full round sympathetic tones,
carried off a large share of the honors
of the musical part of the entertain-
ment. Society was out in full force. a
large delegation from Grace Church
and the Congregational Church helped
to swell the number. The ladies of
the South Norwalk Church are to be
congratulated on their success.
