nue ostensibly to go to the Brooklyn

and wrote to the hospital, but received

WAS IN CONSTANT MISERY.

the Puritans Treatment.

7"; R. George H. Denny is
A a carpenter who has

always worked in the vicin-
ity of South Northfield, Vt.
He is about 35, bright, ener-
getic and favorably known.
He lives near the head-
quarters of Dog River, on
the high land that divides
the waters of the Connecti-
cut and Winooski rivers.

 

Here is his statement:

“About a. year ago I was taken with
kidney trouble in one of the worst forms.
I was passing from. four to six quarts Of
water every 24 hours, and my trouble
finally ran into diabetes. I had had
kidney trouble before, and had some-
what recovered when the second attack
came last fall. I employed a. doctor all
last winter, with no favorable results.
I worked all the time, but was in con-
stant misery, and if I had kept on I
would not now have been alive. The dis-
ease reduced my weight from 180 to 145
pounds, and during all the time I got
no relief until I began to use Puritans.
I commenced the Puritans. treatment"
last April, and used three or four bot-
tles. The first results were felt in my
stomach, which improved rapidly, so
that I could eat and digest my food com-
fortably. The next result was that my
bladder was restored to its normal con-
dition. I have been well all summer,
although I left Off using Puritans. in
June. I think Puritana. is the best rem-
edy that I have ever known, and un-
hesitatingly recommend it to others, for
whose good I publish this letter.

_ (Signed) “George H. Denny.”

This is only one example of what
Puritans. ca.r do and is doing every day
for suffering menand women. Puri-
tan-a is tlhe prize formula. of Prof. Dixi
Crosby of Dartmouth College, and by
its action on the stomach it cures trou-
bles of the blood, nerves, heart, liver,

 

kidneys and other vital organs.

 

A Carpenter’s Life Saved by _

SAVED THE VESSEL.

The people along the sound were
treated to the sight of another burning
vessel about 9 O’clock Monday night.

The sea- going tug Battler, bound west

with seven barges of coal-in tow, sight-
ed the burning craft While ofi‘ the Nor-

 

walk Islands and went to her assistance.“

The boat proved to be the barkiW.
L. Sweet in tow of ' the steam canal
boat Marian. ' '

After working hard for at least half
an hour the Battler’s fire pumps suc-
ceeded in getting the fire under con-
trol, but not before considerable dam-
age had been done.

The captain of the Sweet estimated
that $2,500 would cover his loss.

A SMAri. FIRE.

A Barn on the HubbelliEstate Laid Low
' by a Fire Fiend.

 

 

 

A small barn at the rear of the Hub-
bell property on East avenue was
“wiped”out by fire Tuesday night. An
alarm was sent in from box 15 which
was quickly responded to by the fire
department.

The firemen worked maniully but in
order to save the residence near by
were forced to pull the burning frame
Of the building down andVIet the de-
vouring element do its worst under re-
strictions. . '

The premises were occupied by Pat-
ent Commissioner Seymour and family,
but at present are untenanted. The
fire was evidently incendiary. The
loss will probably amount to $500.

LICENSE REFUSED.

 

The Remonstrants in the Franklin Avenue
License Application Sustained.

 

Prosecuting Liquor Attorney Edward
M. Lockwood was advised by the Coun-
ty Commissioners Wednesday that the
application to sell intoxican ts at the sa-
loon on Franklin avenue formerly con-
ducted by Thomas McMullen had been
refused.

The case had excited unusual interest
and the hearings before the County
Commissioners in the matter brought
out a great deal of testimony as against
such license being granted, principally
on the ground that the locality was an
unsuitable one.

NO one objected to Mr. Hogan as a
proper person to conduct the place. It.
is understood that he will remove to
Stamford. It is also hinted that an ex-
saloon keeper on Main street will con-
duct the place now owned by Mr.
Hogan. \

FIRE IN MILFORD.

 

 

The Old Milford Hotel Destroyed—Loss
“8,000

 

The old Milford hotel, owned by
Marion C. Knight and conducted by O
C. Bailey, at Milford, was burned at
noon Monday. Loss $18,000. The
fire was caused by an over-heated fur-
nace and spread with such rapidity
through the entire building that noth-
ing was saved. The New Haven fire
department was telephoned to for as-
sistance, and Chief Kennedy had
steamer 7 ready for shipment when the
order was countermanded.

AN EXCELLENT SELECTION.

 

Captain Addison A. Betts Said to he Slated
for Major.

 

A rumor is current among the Officers
Of the 4th Regiment, that the next ma-
jor of the second battalion will be ex-
Captain Addison A. Betts Of 00. F,
Norwalk.

If this rumor proves true the Officers
will have done credit alike to them-
selves and the regiment. Captain
Betts is one of the best officers that
ever commanded a company, and his
retirement from military service was a
source of regret to the Officers and men.

The GAZETTE heartily endorses Cap-
tain Bette and hopes that he'will be
selected.

New Orleans' Idle Laborers May Get Work
on the Lovecs.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12. —- Captain
George McC. Durby, the United States en- ,
gineer in charge Qf this district, in a letter '
to the Charity Organization society of this
city, says: ‘

”There are two large levees to be built
across the river near the ferry. I will sta-
tion a quarter boat, with capacity for 200
men, at one of these levees and will have
the work surveyed and divided into short
lengths, such as a man should be able to
build in from three to five days.

“When ablebodied men who are desti-
tute and in temporary nwd of food and
shelter apply for charity, they can be sent, ‘
with a. suitable ticket, to report aboard
this quarter boat. Each man can there sign
a contract with the United States govern-
ment to build one of the short sections of
levee above described at 6 or 7 cents per
cubic yard, with an agreement that a
charge for his board and lodging at the
rateof 20 cents a. day shall be deducted
from the amount due him, payment to be
made on completion of his contract.

“I will provide the necessary' supervision,
wheelbarrows, shovels, run planks, etc.
The ordinary market value of the work
above described is from 9 to 10 cents. It
is, however, not intended to pay the full
market value of the work, which would
result in our being promptly overrun with
applicants and merely bring us in compe-
tition with other employers. ”

Italy Made 8 Demand, Backed by Threats,
and Got Satisfaction.

LONDON, ‘ Jan. 12.—A dispatch from
Constantinople to The Standard says that
rumors of a massacre of Christians at
Trebizond,which originated from the state-
ment that an Italian gunboat had been
ordered thither, are untrue.

It appears that an Italian subject named
Marani was secretly shipped at Trebizond
for exile to Erzerum. The Italian embassa-
dor, Signor Pansa, demanded. the immedi-
ate return of Marani to Constantinople for
proper "trial and threatened to send gun:
boats. ~ Then the ports gave a written

 

'from 9 to 18 months’ imprisonment with

 

promise Of compliance.

The incident has caused a sensation at
Constantinople on account of the belief
that Italy was backed by the powers.

A dispatch to The Daily News from
Rome on the same subject says that “ev-
erybody remarks that the sultan has never
had such a humiliation as for an ambassa-
dor to openly refuse to accept hispromise,

‘ but to insist upon a written confirmation. ’ ’

A Countess Sent to Jail.

LONDON, Jan. 12.—The so called Count-
ess Emma Ugolini, her husband and two
other Italians, who were convicted on Dec.
18 of stealing valuable lace from the west
and store of Peter Robinson, a. case which
attracted unusual attention, owing to the
arrest for_a~1ike offense of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter M. Castle, were sentenced today to

hard labor. _ _ . w . V_
