What Befell a Veteran of \the Civi War Long Af- . ter His Discharge. An old colonial soldier lying in a hospital improvised for the occasion af- ter the battle of Saratoga, was patient- ly waiting until his timecame for ex- amination. When the physicians sur- rounded his humble pallet to probe for a bullet in his chest, he opened his shirt bosom, shut his eyes and said, “I’m ready.” Neither groan, sigh or cry escaped him, but as the probe reached the piece of lead he opened his eyes and said: “Doctor, an inch deep- er and you will find General Wash- ington. ” In the Revolution and Civil War the American soldier withstood hardships that almost equalled those when Napoleon retreated from Moscow, and Sir John Moore retired to Corruna. Disease left its mark and shattered the strong constitutions of the best. No organ of the human body sulfer- ed more than the kidneys, and vet- eran W. R.

CITY COUNCIL '4 Chief Engineer Prowitt Dut- lines the Present Needs of the Fire Department. Councilman George 8. Gregory Appointed a Member of the Library Board. Councilman Cotter and W. R. Bates’ chairs around the city council table were the only ones vacant when Mayor Glover called the adjourned July meet- ing of that board to order Wednesday evening. The janitor had neglected to properly free the desks and chairs of a veneering ofdust, and during the caller part of the evening a winged “bat” flew about the room, but darted out of the door after the last of the grist of bills amounting to something over $1,800 had been ordered paid. Chief Engineer Prowitt was present- and on the invitation of the Mayor pre- sented what he considered to be immediate needs in his department. He said that he had figured to run the department on as economical a baSls as possible. He then presented the needs of the department. Firstly, new rubber boots and coats were badly wanted; secondly, a new hose wagon was needed; and he said as being the more important of all, the fire alarm system ought to be placed in perfect order by the introduction of insulated wire and the perfect stringing of the same. He fully showed that the present fire alarm system was in bad shape. He said that the superintendent of the same was doing excellent work under the present conditions, but .what was needed was a practical reconstruction of the entire system. He complimented the firemen, and added that his remarks were intended only as suggestions to the council, the members of which he felt assured would act in conjunction with the fire engineers for the betterment of the department. His remarks met with favor, was voted that the fire committee con- fer with the engineers and report at the next meeting of the board. Chief of police Bradley reported twenty-one arrests eight of which were made by himself, ten by Hunt, two by Morehouse and one by Bartram. and it An estimate placing the cost of the building of the proposed sewer and catch-basins on Springwood avenue, was presented. The estimate cost was $645.50. The matter of its construction to gether with a map of the same, was , turned over to the chairman of the sewer committee with power. The annual report of the board of directors of the Nor-walk City library, together with the librarians report, was read. accepted and ordered on file. The former stated that about 30,000 books had been drawn from the library during the past year. The board was of the opinion that new books should of a necessity be added. The board claimed that everything done by them had been on the side of economy. They thought that when the full begneiits of the library were fully known to the public, the same would be more greatly appreciated than now. The repOrt was an interesting docu- sum of $250 be taken from the sewer appropriation and used in the part payment of the street commissioners salary, as has been the custom of for- sewer committee at first demurred, but it was so voted. small hornet’s nest by suggesting that the highway committee was encroach- lng pretty closely upon the limit of its appropriation. to money spent and forthcoming. angry during the discussion, and said, "I am willing to resign any time.” And followed this remark up with a hot shot about repairs on Smith street. troubled waters by remarking that to his mind the chairmen of the different committees were capable of conducting their several departments, threatened storm passed over. committee, was of the opinion that the board had not acted wisely in the mat- ter of sprinkling the city streets and, that in the attempt to save an expendi- ture of 825, had caused an extra ex- pense of hundreds of dollars. 18th. David S. Bartram, a Prominent Resident well-known citizen of Redding, died at his home on Tuesday after an illness of only a few days, with pneumonia.

Attorney Walsh was present, and on being asked by a. member of the board, gave it as his oplnlon that the Mayor was in duty bound according to the law in the premises, to appoint directors to fill vacancies occurring on the board of Councilman Burr: “The board of di- rectors run the library to suit them-_ selves. They never consult with the. board of councilmen. ” f directors. i 1 After some other rather caustic re- marks by the councilmcn, Mayor Glover presented the names of Dr. W. J. Tracey, George B. Gregory and Victor Selleck to succeed the retiring members of the board of directors, and their nomination was ratified, the only vote in the negative being that of Councilman Gregory. The interest on the city bonds amounting to $5 719.39 was reported by the city clerk as having been paid. The chairman of'the finance commit- tee was authorized to borrow $1,800 on the credit of the city to pay current bills. Councilman Bates asked that the mer boards.

"" A Syndicate Offers 5,000 Yen for a Single Loaf, but Meets \Vlth Refusal. The latest craze that has made its appearance .in Japan is the orchid craze, and if reports are true the tulip craze in Holland of several centuries ago may well look to its laurels. Ac- cording -to the Tokoyo Asahl (Morning Day), a. new variety of small orchid, jointly owned by the well known said ener of Shltaya, Maru Shin, and by two others, is at present enjoying the highest reputation. It is called “Ama- kusa," for every rare variety has its own special name. Its leaves measure only four inches in length and 1 1-2 inches in width, this Variety being the only one now found in Japan. The leaves, only eleven in number. are whitish. with yellow hued stripes very widely marked, and the whole appear- ance exceedingly graceful. the fame of the “Amakusa” has sent all the circles of orchid hunters-into a“ flutter. Numerous applications have been 1'61 ceived by the triple owners asking them to part with even one leaf, for orchids, as is well known, can be pro- pagated by root separation. But all these applications have been courte« ously declined. The other day, says the Asal'ni, a. del- egate representing ten villagers of Chita-gori, Owarl, came up to Tokoyo. They were all men stricken with the orchid mania, and heanng of this rare variety each of them subscribed 5,000 yen (a. yen is fifty cents in United States currency) and one of them, the head man of the village, arrived on the important mission of purchasing a. leaf. While the negotiations were in pro- gress the Kyoto Horticultural Com- pany dispatched its president also on the same errand. The owners of the precious orchid conferred with each .other, but decided not to accede to the offers made them, for they have in mind a similar case of another rare variety which several years ago brought the fabulous price of 10,000 yen per leaf. 80 both delegates were obliged to re- turn home crestfallen, and the Asahl adds: “Even supposing that the own,- ers might be persuaded to part with their orchid at 5,000 you a. leaf, that would bring them a sum of 50,000 yen, while if the price were to rise to 10,000 yen each, that amount would be dou- bled."-—New York Sun. O'RUNKENNESS AMONG ANIMALS. Monkeys Captured by Intoxicatlng Them With Boer. Most of the higher animals—as mon keys, elephants, bears, horses and dogs ——have a. natural fondness for ferment- ed liquors, and suffer from the abuse of these liquors as men do. From the book of Maccabees it is evident that war elephants were maddened of old with new wine, as they have been and are with arrack down to the present time. Managers of manageries and employee at the various zoological gardens know that the elephants under their care are prepared to go on a. wild drunk whens ever opportunity offers. Whiskey is of- ficially given them when they are ill or low—the quantity varying from five to ten gallons, according to therequire- ments of the case. This is put into their drinking water. Bears and mon- keys drink beer like German students, and love whiskey equally well. In Af- rica the natives make use of this evil trait to capture their poor relations. The monkeys there are extremely fond of a beer brewed by the natives. So the latter place quantities of the liquor within easy reach of the monkeys and wait until their victims are thoroughly befuddled. In this state they are una‘ ble to recognize the difference between negro and ape. When a negro takes the hand of one of them to lead him off, a secondmonkey takes the hand of the first, a. third that of the second and ‘ so on. A single negro may sometimes be seen carrying off a string of .stag- gering monkeys. Fresh doses of the beer in decreasing quantities are ad- ministered to the captives, so that they may only gradually awaken to the sad results of their spree—Lippincott’s Magazine. \Vallace Saved the Day. The fate of the battle hung in the balance. The commanders of the in- vading corps looked anxious. The ob- stinate Spaniards refused to be dis- lodged. At that moment Gen.

What we have won with our blood, what we have won at the cost of life. that we will never give up. What has been won by savin life is none the less a conquest; an it is by restoring health and saving life that California Catarrh Cure has won the first place in the esteem of Norwalk people. That place it will always hold, because by rapid advance in popular favor, won its almost instantaneous relief of the worst sufferings, has been followed up and secured by thousands of perma- nent cures. Its popularity is lasting, because it rests upon cases like this: Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives at 7 Water street, Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh in my head and throat for some time. My whole head was stuffed up; the passages of my head and throat would at times become so filled with mucous that I could not talk, and altogether it was very annoying. I also sufiered a great deal of the time with headaches. - I got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South N or— walk, and ] think it is the greatest stuff in the world. It has cured me of all the disagreeable suffering I have had for so long; my throat troubles me no more, and I haven’t had a headache for weeks. I have recommended it to several friends who have used it with satisfactory results, and we all unit-e in saying it is a wonderful medicine.” C. C. C. is also invaluable for break- ing up colds and preventing colds “hanging on;” it will absolutely pre« vent an attack of hay fever if used faithfully for several weeks before the season, and used at any time it gives great relief in all mucous diseases.

Dr. Porter, recently told a good story illustrating the whimsical ingenuity of the Ethiopian mind. A Southern planter, who was puzzled by the disappearance of a. great deal of rice, found out that it ihad been put- loined by a favorite slave. He sent for the latter and said: “Sam, I am very sorry to discover that you are a. thief and have been taking my rice." The slave smiled and answered: “I took your rice, masser; but I'm no thle ." “How do you make that out?” came the query. “Well, masser, does I belong to you, or does I not?" “Yes: you belong to me." “An’ don’t that rice belong to you?" “Certainly." “Well, then, if I take the rice and eat that rice it belong to you still? It hasn’t gone away from you, and no other man’s got it, and I couldn’t have stolen it, could I?” Accepted. A maiden lady of very mature years was riding her wheel recently on the sidewalk of a Michigan town. A :50“ liceman stopped her, and said: “Excuse me, lady, but I must ask you to go before a justice of the peace with me.” "Well, now,” she exclaimed, “I‘ve been waiting more than twenty years for some man to ask me to go before a justice of the peace with him.
