G. left for camp at Niantic this morning, amid one of the liveliest as well as tearful leave-takings ever witnessed in town. The leave-taking was not of the annual order when the company leaves town for the vacation and drill of one week, but was made with the belief that the boys were to engage in actual war. _ The company, which with the new recruits with Captain Reuben M. Rose in command, left the armory at 7:05 o’clock and, preceded by the Norwalk City band marched to the railroad station at South Norwalk, where had gathered a concourse of nearly 2,000 people. The whistle on the electric light station near the depot kept up an in- cessant blowing as the soldiers ap- proached and with the music of the band and the occasional firing of a numbered 125 men, mortar, the scene was’an enlivening one. The time of leaving was set at 7:42 and the train did not vary three min- utes from being on time. The soldiers quickiy boarded the cars provided for their occupancy, and as the train pulled out of the station a cheer went up from the mouths of the spectators that vied in volume of sound with the report, from the mortar. Mothers, sisters and friends were moved to tears as they parted with their loved ones, and in this respect the scene was a touching one. . It is believed by some that several of the members will be returned home as being unavailable as, soldiers. However, all honor to the brave lads, and may each of them make a splendid record. d——————fl0.0’—-‘ m uni“ With Rose Gold It Shares the Odium of Being a Most De- tosted Malay—flow at Providence" ,éman 28-1 caped one of Them.‘ - The victims of hay fever and rose cases, and no person unacquainted with the malady can form any conception of what its victims sufier. During its attacks, which occur at seasons of the prevalent are in all-other respects the most attractive, the lining membranes of all the air passages Of'the upper and middle parts of .the‘face are terribly and painfully inflamed; they become thickened, and of- an angry ”red color, while the veins are swollen and throbbing. These two maladies, Hay Fever and Rose Gold, are exactly similar in all their symptoms; they differ only in the season of their attack, the Rose Gold prevailing earlier in the summer. Being pathologically similar, 1f one is relieved by a certain treatment, the same treatment is more than likely to relieve the other also. No ills to which the human flesh is heir are more fickle in their individual cases; for there are thousands of remedies that will help one or two cases, and dis- appoint every other. But there is one treatment that we venture to assert will give more relief to the greater number of cases than all the other so- called remedies combined. Or this we are prepared to submit as proof the testimony of people who have tried it. Note this case : Mrs. George W. Spink, 227 Friend- ship St., Providence, says: “Every year I have been troubled with the most disagreeable colds in my head during June, and I could seem to get no relief until the rose season was over. This year I obtained a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Hall & Lyon’s, and when I felt the Rose Cold coming on, I began to use it. It gave me relief at once, entirely removing all traces of the Rose Cold, and I have not been as free from this trouble for years, as I have been this season from using California Catarrh Cure.” Remember you are more likely to get relief from Hay Fever by using California Catarrh Cure than by any other means. It is sold at all drug stores; 50 cents; three times as much $1. ‘ -A‘ Letter carrier W. O. Merritt is tak- ing a two days’ vacation. Large catches of _ weak fish are reported.

' The following letter was received on -Tuesday by H. H. Mead, of New Canaan: FORT CHURCH, FERNANDINA, Fla, .June‘IS, 1898.—H.Herbert Mead, New Canaan, Caz—Sir: I regret to have to inform you that Frank Humphrey of Battery A, Sixth U. S. Artillery, recently enlisted at Albany, N. Y., was drowned off Fort Church at 2.15 p. m. to-day, while trying to save another man from drowning. His body has not yet been recovered. From papers found in his pocket it would appear that he was a member of the Order of If you know any of his relatives please inform them. If I can give any further information to his rel- at1ves, or can otherwise be of any service, I should be glad to do so. Very respectfully, H. R. M. INTYCE, Second Lieut., Sixth Artillery. Frank Humphrey was about twenty, one years of age, and was well known in New Canaan, where his mother and four sisters reside on Harrison avenue. Frank went away a couple of weeks ago, and it was supposed that he was seeking employment, which he was un- able to obtain in New Canaan and vicinity. His relatives heard last Sat- urday of his enlistment in the army,“ but it seems that the very day this news arrived in New Canaan the young _ man lost his life. Frank Humphrey died a. hero. He sacrificed his own life in the effort to save that of a comrade. V, He was a member of Ponus Tribe, a Order of Red Men, and among the pa‘ pers found in his pockets was a receipt for dues signed by Mr. Mead. That is why the" latter was communicated with. nhnrnnss cloned-r BE CURED by local applications as they cannot . reach the diseased portion of the car.
