I suffered from Eczema on the right ear. I
could hardly keep my hands off it, the itching
was so severe. Small bubbles would open,
emitting a. watery-like substance, apparently
poisonous. One of the leading doctors here
treated me, and applied the usual physician’s
remedies without benefit. My brother rec-
ommended that I try CUTICURA. The first
application was soothing, and before the box
was half gone the disease hm! disappeared.

Francis Long who has been visiting
friends in town had an exciting exper-
ience on Wednesday afternoon. As he
was in the act of boarding the 113220
train he found that his purse was miss-
ing. He lost the train but quickly 1'8“
tracing his steps found the missing
property in the street in front of the
post office. The recovering of quite a
sum of money and his return ticket to
Washington, however, amply repaid
him for the lost time.
John Blake, of Danbury. was visiting
old friends in town on Wednesday.
D. B. Ogden has purchased a fine
new wagon.
Mrs. Edgar Bloomer of Norwalk, was
in town on Wednesday.
Rumor whispers that Ruben Olmstead
agent at Wilton station, has received
the appointment of ticket agent at Nor—
walk in place of I}. E. Hughes who has
resigned to study law with John H.
Light, of South Nor-walk. We shall
miss Mr. Olmstead, who is the most
obliging agent ever in charge of local
railroad affairs, but hasten to congrat-
ulate him on his advancement.
An even hundred good republicans
‘ assembled at the town hall Saturday
evening to nominate a candidate for
representative and one of the most en-
thusiastic meetings held in many years
was the result. H. E. Chichester was
the chairman, and H. D. Benedict,
clerk. The result of the informal bal-
lot was, George F. Brown, 61; Ernest
C. Ruscoe, 26; Scattering 8; Total 95.
G. W. Ogden immediately took the
floor, and as Mr. Ruscoe’s representa-
tive withdrew his vote in favor of Mr,
Brown, and mOVed to make the nomi-
nation unanimous. The motion was
carried with a storm of cheers. and the
candidate in a. short speech thanked
all for the honor conferred upon him
and proposed three cheers for Mr. Rus-
coe which were given with a will.
Prof. Edward Olmstead moved that
a. vote he passed endorsing the services
of Hon. Joseph R. Hawley, and recom
mending that he be his owu successor,
in the United States senate and that a
copy of the vote be handed to our can~
didate for representative. Seconded by
Prof. Strong Comstock. R. W. Keeler
opposed the motion on the grounds that { Harold Betts of Stevens’ institute,
it “ was tying the hands of our Repre‘
sentative.” Professor Olmstead then
explained that his motion was intended
only to show the views of the caucus,
and was not in any way intended to
bind the candidate in case of his elec-
tion,and the motion passed. A resolution
to that effect was passed. Prof. Strong
Comstock was called upon for “A good
old fashioned republican speech” and
quickly proved that he could deliver
the article at. short notice. R. ‘W.
Keeler, G. W. Ogden and others fol-
lowed with short speeches and the
meeting broke up with everybody sat-
isfied and a. determination to keep
things moving until election day.
George F. Brown, the nominee for
representative, is the present town
treasurer, a position which he has
filled for several years. He is number-
ed among the younger republicans and
is pOpular throughout the town is sure
to poll the full party strength, and if
elected make a representative that will
be an honor to the town.
The following were nominated for
justices of the peace, Ezra P. Bennett
Louis Seiber, Josiah Gilbert, H. F.
Chichester, F. D. Benedict and C. W.
Knapp.

Proctor ml the i’liilfppi._.s.
Montpelier. t.. Nov. 4.—United States
Senator Proctor. who arrived here yes-
terday after a trip abroad, address3d
the joint assembly of the Houzw and
Senate. which last month X‘s-elected
him. The senator said:
“The future policy of this country
is the greatest question before our peo-
ple.
“Hawaii and Porto Rico have been
added to the nation’s dominion and we
have become sponsors for the good gov-
ernment of Cuba. “’9 must assume
some responsibility in the far East.
whether it be greater or less. In my
opinion the responsibilities in the far
East are bound to be greater.
“Many wise and patriotic men in this
country believe we should retain no ter-
ritory nor control no part of the Phil—
ippine islands, beyond a coaling station
or possiby a single island. I recog-
nize the cogency of their argument.
but have failed to see clearly any prac-
tical way of carrying out their views.
If any jurisdiction is assumed in the
East there is no logical stopping place
short of the whole Philippines. Since
that May morning when the Spanish
fleet was destroyed it has seemed to me
practically settled that "Spain must
surrender her entire control of the Phi-
llppines.”
Pittsburg Strikers “’eakcning.
Pittsburg, Nov. 4—The first break in
the ranks of the Window Glaes‘VVork-
ers' Association occured last midnight,

erers started to work at several of the
plants of. the American Glass Com-
pany.
The D. O. Cunningham Glass Com-
pany started its large plant on South
Twenty-first street at midnight almost
in full force. The Twenty-sixth street
factory was started this morning. A
detail of police was on hand to pre-
serve order among the 200 or more
workmen who had gathered about the
plant.
Telegrams received to-day from Gas
City, Dunkirk, Red Key, Ind., Barnes-
ville, Frankfort, Ind., Kane, Pa... Belle-
vernon, Pa., New Lansington,Pa., and
Brighton, N. J., reported that the
news of the Pittsburg break had been
received, and, consequently, many
men would go to work in those towns.
The Havana. Bank.
New York, Nov. 4.—The North Amer-

A WORD OF KINDNESS.
A Comfort to the Old Lady to Know the
Lord Had Made the Capitalist,
“Don’t take on so about it, Elihu”
Mrs. Gee'haw was saying. “I don’t
see ez it’s any personal concern of
our‘n, even of these her monopolists
an’ corporationrs do go ahead an'
make money. It’s a big country an’
it‘s getter be developed. An’ when a
man makes a lot 0’ money ’tain’t no
good ter ’im onless he spends it. an’
so it keeps circ’lzitin’ an’ circ'latin’ an‘
doin' bus‘ncss an” helpin’ along.”
"That's jus’ like your talk. Ye jes’
seem ter inj'y bein’ under the grindin’
heel of those here Wall street fel-
lers.”
“I ain‘t heard 0’ these Wan street
tellers doin’ anythin’ tcr prevent our
scratchiu’ up the groun’ weth a. plow
nn’ plantin’ corn, nn’ feedin’ it ter the‘
hogs an’ eatin’ the proceeds of so be
we felt hungry.” »
“Course. Ye always did take sides
agin’ me, an' I suppose ye allus will.
Ye jes’ like for git right down under
the iron hoof of despotism and grovel.
Them tellers is responsible for all our
misery."
“But, Elihu, we ain’t miserable.”
“That jes‘ shows yer foolishness
agin. We’re so run down an’ pushed
an’ Jostled an’ crowded that we kin
hardly say our souls are our own. You
don’t realize it ’cause ye ain’t heard
the fol-ks thet go through the country
talkin’ about it, some ez I have. I
don’t blame ye so much for not realm
in’ first we’re miserable. I sometimes
get ter feelin’ kinder comfortable my?
self when I let my mind wander off
0' what these men'lhez been a-sayin’.
But I do blame ye fer stickin’ up fur
them capitalists.”
“But they don’t want ter see the
country go ter smash any more’n you
do. Leasovays, of: they do, I don’t see
what makes ’em.”
“It can’t be anythin’ but pure cus-
sedness. An’ I’m agin ’em. Ye kin
talk all day, but ye can’t find anythin’
thet’ll make me feel any better to-
wards ’em.”
“There’s one thing yo'u fergit. They
must have their use in this world."
“I don‘t see it.”
“I’m sure of it.
0’ hard towards ’cm, tell I got for
thinkin’ about ’em in a proper frame”
0’ mind. Whatever ye hear about ’em
an’ think about ’em 2111’ say about ’em,
they’s one fact, Elihu, thet ye can’t
git over: an’ ‘t-hct is, thet the Lord
made ’eun.”—Detroit Free Press.

. Burns “70a the Dinner.
There is a story told of Robert
Burns in his youth. Burns was living
in the town of Asr, and though still
young had attained more than a local
reputation as a poet. One day he
Was passing through the main street
of the town, and saw two‘ strangers ,
sitting at one of the inn windows.
With idle curiosity he stopped to look
at them. Seeing :him, and thinking
that the rustic might afford them some
amusement While waiting, the strang~
ers called him in and asked him to
dine with them. Burns readily ac-
cepted the invitation, and proved a
merry, entertaining guest.
When dinner was nearly finished,
the strangers suggested that each
should try his hand at versemaking,
and that the one who failed to write a
rhyme should pay for the dinner. They
felt secure in the challenge, believing
that their rustic gueSt would pay for
the meal. The rhymes were Written,
and Burns road the following: “1,
Johnny Peep, saw two sheep; the
sheep saw me; half a crown apiece
will pay for their fleece, and I, Johnny
Peep, go free.” The strangers’ astone.
'lslhmen't was great, and they both ex»
claimed: “Who are you? You must
be Robbie, Burns.”
