a saving of $4,000-would be made.
A voice from the audience shot
through the air and struck the rain
soaked ceiling with a “Will you do it ‘9”
Mr. Hurlbutt questioned his brother
Light’s sincerity by asking how such
saving could be made if it were true
that all of the principals and teachers
at the schools had been engaged for
the coming year. .
Mr. Light explained that it was not
proposed to have the matter take effect
until next year the present action b..-
ing but a stepping stone.
Mr. Hurlbutt said, “Oh no, you won’t
hurt us, and we don’t propose to let
you.”
And the matter was indefihitely post-
poned, after which the meeting ad-

Sweet and Staff in South
Norwalk.
The visit of this strangely-gifted,
natural healer, attended by distin-
guished members of the staff connected
with Dr. Sweet’s famous sanitarium,
Springfield, Mass, forms a notable
event in the medical annals of this sec-
tion of our state. Never before has so
deep and far-reaching an interest been
wrought over the advent within our
gates of a'professional visitor as attends
the visit of this most wonderfully gifted
member of probably the most remarka-
ble family of natural physicians and
surgeons of ancient or modern times.
Owing to his numerous professional
engagements elsewhere,only three days
more can be devoted to this part of the
state. The visit to Connecticut by Dr.
Sweet’s assistants is for the purpose of
receiving applications by those who
desire to enter a sanitarium for a few
weeks in order to receive superior ad-
vantages of cure.
This class are admonished to call
early, as the lists are fast filling up.
Another class, the multitude, are not
forgotten. ~ Home treatment for the
poor. at moderate cost, including the
famous Sweet remedies and personal
treatment by the staff at the hotel, will
be provided those unable to repair to
the institution. Only three days re-
main. Don’t miss this opportunity.
Consultation free to all.

Picnic Excursions.
The Myndert Starin with a full limit
of 900 excursionists on board, left the
wharf at South Norwalk this morning
for Glen Island. And it was a gladsome
party composed of members of the
Congregational Sunday school and
their friends. The boat was scheduled
to leave at 8:30, but it was 8:45 when
the boat started. A number of parties
who wanted to join the excursionists
were left on the wharf, as the order in
reference to the number limit; was en-
forced. And the wish now is that the
excursion be not marred by any acci-
dent, and that all return refreshed by
their outing at one of the pleasantest
shore resorts on the Sound.
The Grace church Sunday school is
taking its annual excursion trip to R0-
ton Point to-day. They went on the
—Old Dr.
Tramway line, and the weather con- _
tinuing favorable it is safe to say that.
they are having a jolly good time.

TIRES THAT LEAK.
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a distinct imprOvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad-
vantages:
While punctures in it can be re-
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in-
jections, as well as in any other
single-tube tire, it can be permanently
repaired by using the quick-repair
strip inside the tire. See out No. 1.
v7
By injecting M. & W. quick-repair
cement through the puncture, and
then pressing down on the tire with
the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repaii
No. 2.
strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in out
No. 3.
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
porous. This is onaccount of the way
in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a. sieve.” * »
Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture.
Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric.
Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan &
Wright tires. Ask, also, what the
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan '8:
Wright free repair shops,,located in
the principal cities.
N. B.—When you have a puncture,
get right off. Riding a tire flat, when
it has a. tack or nail in it, may
failing-e lit considerably.
Brandreth’s Pills
The difference between these pills and all other medicines is
told in the following statement of facts:
Ist. They have been in active demand in the markets of the world since I770,
or for nearly one hundréd and thirty years. -
2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest
class drugs obtainable. ~
3d. They are kept for two ,years in our storehouses after being made, and
no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly mellowed .and makes of them the very best
and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure.
4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose
will always produce the same effect. This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine. There are others who claim it, but
demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid condition, and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of
one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.
6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.
7th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of sarsa—
parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25—cent box con-
taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla
than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market.
8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every
instance. .
9th. They are a posxtive and effective'rcmedy for constipation and for all the
long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,
drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach,
etc. Take one or two pills every night—one is usually enough—and
be certain that a cure will follow.
They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a
few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your .
eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear.
11th. BRANURETH’S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health
I after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and
women in delicate health. One pill is usually sufficient.
. No medicine is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS
—no medicine but BRANDRETH’S PILLS is .kept for TWO YEARS before
they are boxed to be sold.
Except in' sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to eight pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two
pills every night for a week or two. They act on’the liver and leave
that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right
your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’t bully your liver with
powerful medicine,.but coax it with BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
BRANDRETH‘S PILLS are sold throughout the world, with and without
sugar coating. They never fail to do their work.
