A Half Century Colrlirutlon,
A distinctive feature of Congregationalism
is the entire independence and self gover
nient of each church. Like the family, or
homestead, they own each church as its own
property ; make their own creeds ; make
their own laws and regulations, and tolerate
no "boss" nny where. Yet they associate
with one another, as do families, fur counsel,
comfort, usefulness aud the salvation of men
from all that is bad, and their recovery to
all that is gwjd. Iu ISM these church or
ganizations were beginning lo be formed in
Illinois. In 1S;!5 a few along Fox Jiiver
associate 1 themselves. The fiftieth anniver
sary of this organization was commemorated
by a meeting in this city, Tuesday and Wed
nesday. The Association which began with four
churches and sixty members, grew till now
there are four Associations with more than
twelve thousand members. Their home ex
penses last year, in cash, were ?li)3,f26.!8.
Their charitable gifts outside, were $102,-
302.27. The two together wcre$2'.i'),S89.25,
or more than twenty dollars to each mem
ber or communicant.
In the programme for the meeting here,
topics of interest had been assigned to vari
ous persons, to Judge Cofiin, of Uatavia,
Hon. B. C. Cook, Cnnt. Win, II. Collins, of
Quinry, )T. Lane, of St. Charles, Mr. Tims.
1 Orton, and others, who were confidently ex.
pecteil, yet failed to come. The foul weather
of Tui'Miln v uiim renrossiim1 nnd a serious dis
advantage. Still the meeting was held and
I a good time had. Mr. Whittlesey, the oldest
j clerical member, rend a paper entitled "The
I Ministers of the Association," of whom there
I had been some 20(1, giving characteristic
traits; their work in aid of progress in e !u
I cation, morals, nnd in material prosperity,
pjj social order, and in National tli'lens?. in
; his estimate he spoke of them as good use a ;
of those who laid the foundations, ns, having
; the best educational advantages the country
': afforded : often leaders in scholarship in
thgir classes in our be-t colleges; and semi
j tiaries : ns having j'iven themselves in
! youthful vig'.ir :u. 1 ardor to the missionary's
i lot in a new country, to an humble wnrk in
1 deprivation, iu poverty, void of preferments
j in the church an I of Naiioual fame.
Other timely themes were treated, r.s tiie
relation of the family life and spirit, to the
good order and evangelization of society;
'. how best to hold ground in the future; with
j what appliances and machinery to do the
' most go. id; changes in ministerial manners,
methods, and doctrines i:i the half century.
The whole was intf rspci se d with interest. -5
ing reminiscences, anecdotes, and social
j festivities. Among the latter was a tea in
i the basement of the church for the inter-
I mingling of the guests and the families of
citizens. Among those from out of town to
I whom the Association is indebted for inter.
I est in this Anniversary were members from

I iietiM'rta4ly Offered inducement,
Which will require more or less important
chaiiLrus in my business, induce mo to
clo.-e oat my prestnt large stock of f ishlona
Ide millinery goods without delay. "Selling
out," I am aware, is so common a cry that it
has lost most of its power to attract atten
lion, but iu the present case there is involved
the absolute necessity to close out my stock
before the holidays and the prices at which
it is offered will be the best guaranty that
the sale is made in rood faith. I therefore
earnestly invite the ladies of Ottawa as well
as the mothers aud daughters of our farmers
to give me a call and profit thereby. That I
deal only in first class goods is well known
to all, and as witk me the main object is to
dispose of my stock as rapidly as possible,
my nim will be to make every sale an advan
tage to the purchaser.
Respect fully.

S'cti that to carry into execution such
performance ns that given by Prof. Stokes,
and those who kindly volunteered their ser
vices on that occasion, the concert can truth.
fully be said to havo been a marked success.
It is no flattery to say a thing is good when
such is the case and whatever praise is here
bestowed on those who took part iu the
entertainment was fully earned and well
deserved. Ihe encores responded to were
as follows: F. A. Kendall s liaritone solo,
the Three Fishers; lrof. Stokes' violin solo,
II Trovatore, and later on his solo, Air Varie;
Frank Fitzgerald's solo, I'll Hallo; Miss Jo.
sio Rhodes' soprano solo, Good Itye; the
Medley Overture by the Orchestra and
Miss Olive Harrison's contralto solo, lied.
ouin Love Song. The latter was called be.
fore the curtain four times and was applaud.
ed to the echo. In fact all the performers
came in for their share of the honors and
acquitted themselves with distinction aud
Ottawa is proud of every one of them
proud to feel that the musical talent of this
city is capable of giving such fine concerts.
Prof. Stokes is to be congratulated on the
success of this first class musical entertain
ment.

Amusements.
On next Monday evening C. W. Coitldosk,
li famous veteran actor, will present "The
Willow Copse," at the opera house supported
by a powerful company, the cast embracing
Luke Fielding, a farmer, by C. W. Couldock;
aud other stars. The play will be given un
der the auspices of the A. (). I. W. of this
city, the object of the entertainment being
to raise funds to defray the expenses of a
grand demonstration or meeting of lodges of
this order in this city next sutiiiuenj In
Ottawa the order has paid out to widows
and orphans alone over $29,000 nnd this
nlone should speak so strongly in its favor
that a large attendance should be present.
Besides the play is one in every way deserv
ing of a crowded house. It has been many
years since the play has been presented in
this country. It is a sterling old play and its
revival by Ur. Couldock, who may almost
be said to havo created Luke Fielding, is a
pleasant memory to those who can remember
it year ago when lie starred in it successful
ly for many seasons. It is one of the earliest
of Boiieicault's standard plays and was writ
ten for Mine Celeste, who took the leading
role in it as Rose Fielding, but Couldock, wl o
s ably suppoitel the star in the role if
Luke Fielding jrave such an inspiration to
eharacer that his soon became the leading
pin. The story and plot, is much like
" Hazel Kirkc" and a great deul of the
character of iJunstan Kirke is undoubtedly
taken from Luke Fielding. To those who
desire to witness a firs c'ass play l'.ie (.ct.ius
of i he actor wi-o made it famous a ijiiarter
of a eenniry no, ilii-isagoo l opportunity.

You'll hear some
thing like this every
time you turn a cor-t

your ears open. As
you walk along, you
will also be likely to
i
near some thin gen

friend:
" Guess I'll go into
my heavy flannels to
morrow, old boy."
Now, this is very
wise; but our friend
will find on investiga

either sold his last

them off for tin-ware.
