GOOD EVENlNG \ The Village Improvement Society of Biverhead, Long Island, which has been controlled by men for twenty years, is now entirely inthe hands of women. Probably if the women took hold here in town Norwalk would grow more rapidly. 'v . -». a" 133,31: lent Of the testte says “ “ i J iti‘fltl‘l'id Judge .;“i “an. ~t\ ' .1 .u .u. 11.1in grins" 1.9,.

Secretary of Navy—Archibald Mc- Neil, commodore .of the Bridgeport Yacht club. Attorney GeneralWHoner S. Cum- mings. Esq. of Stamford.’ Nobody will grudge Maj.-Gen. Otis his coming rest. His task has been dif- ficult and complex—a mixture of war, politics, conciliation and conquest. There are 200,000 more unmarried women than men in England. What a chance for some of our Norwalk bach- elm-s. _ .. A pointer for the Palladium’s bache- lor editor. Wives are selling for five. cents in Southington. I it will be but a few years before the birthday of Abraham Lincoln will be celebrated as Washington’s is, as an occasion for non-partisanship and com- ,mon reverence. He is too great to be bound down by limitations, truthfully remarks the New Haven Register. The fifty additional beds, for which the state appropriated the sum of $1,200 were placed in position at the Soldier’s Home at Noroton on Monday. These will be a welcome addition to this most worthy institution, which prowdes an ideal place for the aged and indigent veterans to pass their latter days in peace and quietude. Says the Hartford Post: The dema- gogues are insisting that the country shall believe Aguinaldo’s rather than ' Dewey’s statement concerning the so- called alliance between the admiral and the Filipinos. Had Dewey expressed an intention to accept the nomination for President by the Democracy, would that party of opposition be so strenuous at this time in asking the public to judge between the veracity of Aguin- aldo and the admiral? Making due allowances for the very rare cases of justifiable self-destruction the man who takes his life is a moral He ends his existancemflees because he cowa‘i'd. to the ills he knows not of, has not the-courage to face the tron- bles which he sees or fancies. If he alone were a sufferer from his depar- ture, the world could Well afford to lose him. But in most cases he leaves be- hind helpless ones lacking the care and protection be was too cowardly to stay and pfivide for them, leaves them ., . » , an added burden on the rest of the community. says the New London Day —» ~-——-<é-o>——~~-——--— A Night of Terror. “Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham she could not live till morning” writes Mrs. S. E. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night. - “All thought she must soon die from Pneumonia, but she . begged for Dr. King’s New Discovery, saying it had more than once saved her life, and had cured her of Consump- tion. After three small doses she slept easily all night, and its further use completely cured her.” This marVel- ous medicine is guaranteed to cure all Throat, Chest and Lung Diseases.

Chester De Vonde and his excellent company which begins a week’s en- gagement at Hoyt’s Theatre on Mon- day evening, Feb. 19, will produce the big London success Ten Ton Door. The Elizabeth, N. J.. Journal says of this company. It was a well-satisfied audience that left the Lyceum Theatre last night af- ter witnessing the opening performance of the Chester DeVonde company.§Rep- ertoire has been served up to the theatre-goers of this city in such large quantities of late that; the menu has be- come quite a bore, and it has been a re- lief when a company of real merit, with new plays. is among the bookings of- fered. That the DeVonde company is a delightful surprise and an admirable organization was evidenced by the spontaneous applause bestowed from the second act to the fall of the curtain. Seldom does an artist receive three cur- tain calls in one evening," but Mr. De Vonde and his associates were treated to this novelty last night. . Some‘Foolish People Allow a cough to run until it gets be- yond the reach -of medicine. They often say, "Oh, it will wear away, “but in most cases it will wear them away. Could they be induced to try the suc- cessful medicine called Kemp’s Balsam, which is sold on a positive guarantee to cure, they would immediately see the excellent effect after taking the first dose. Price 25c and 500. Trial size free. At all druggists. Co—st 0: ram... In the United States the "first-class passenger fares last year averaged 2.14 cents per mile.
