AYER’S Sarsaparilla. Mary Schu-
bert, Kansas City, Ks., writes:

“I am convinced that after having
been sick 3. whole year from liver com-
plaint, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla saved my
life. The best physicians being unable
to help me, and having tried three other
proprietary medicines without benefit, I

at last took Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. The
result was a. complete cure. Since then
I have recommended this medicine to
others, and always with success ”

Opera House last evening. »

The would-be braves failed to put in
an appearance at the‘Bed Men’s meet-
ing last, evening, consequently the
dance was adjourned.

In the case of Light vs. Frazer before
Justice Barrett yesterday, judgment
was rendered in favor of the plaintiff
for $42 with interest and costs.

John O. Disbrow, of South N orwalk,
and Miss Jennie Buckley, of Bethel,
were married at the home of the bride’s
parents Saturday, by Rev. Dr. Hub-
bard—Danbury News.

Among the'attractions booked for
Hoyt’s Opera House are Three Hats,
Henry E. Dixey, Limited Mail, Sib-
eria, County Fair, New Devil’s Auc-
tion, Little Tycoon Opera 00., Jane
and Robin Hood.

The South Norwalk Congregational
church will unite with the First in
special union. services on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of this week in
the Congregational chapel. Dr. Beard
will preach Tuesday evening and _Dr.
Noble Wednesday evening. Servmes

After the theatre was out last night
the horse Beauty, which is ridden by
Miss Creighton during the play, was
taken to the Mahackemo hotel and ex-
ercised in jumping over the writing
desk in the lobby. The horse was rid-
den by 3. member of the company and
succeeded in jumping over the desk
twuce, but on the third trial the top
was knocked completely off and the
glass broken.

At the Council meeting last night
Mayor Leo presided with all the mem-
bers present. No action was taken
either in the fire department or Horse
Railway matter, the latter not coming
up. The fire department matter was
discussed at some length, but nothing
was done, and it is probable that the
committee will draw up a report con-
taining their recommendations and
submit it at a. special meeting of the
Council. The Putnam Hose company
do not favor the keeping of a horse in
their house, which objection will have
to be overcome before the matter can
be settled. A license was issued to
Manager Knapp of Music Hall at the
rate of $25 per annum.

Hoyt’s Opera House was packed from
“cellar to garret” last night to witness
the first production in this city of
“Patent Applied For.” The scenery
connected with the piece was the finest
ever presented on the stage in Norwalk
and everything worked satisfactory.
The company was a. good one and each
of the performers vied with each other
in giving the best of satisfaction. The
original specialties of Charles Aldrich
are deserving of special mention, as he
brought down the house at every ap-
pearance, and although sufl'ering from
a severe cold his every effort was to
please. As all did so well it would be
hard to particularize among the other
members of the troupe. On Wednes‘
day afternoon and evening Cleveland’s
minstrels will occupy the boards at this
theatre.

Between 2:30 and 3 o’clock this morn-
ing an alarm was turned in for a fire
in the store of William A. Nash at the
south end of the bridge over the river
near the Tide Mill. Putnam Hose re-
sponded and found that the Volunteer
boys were already on hand and had
a stream playing on the burning build-
ing. Putnam’s hose was attached to a
hydrant and three streams were soon
playing on the fire. Mayflower H. &
L. company also responded and did
good service. The interior of the
store was completely gutted together
with a billiard table. The building,
which is owned by Mrs. Anna Quirk
was considerably damaged, but can be
repaired. Mr. Nash had an insurance
of $400 on the stock and fixtures with
Taylor 6; Golden and Mrs. Quirk $400
on the building with J. M. Layton. It
is not known how the fire originated
unless it was from an overheated stove,
as,several parties who passed the store
about midnight are reported as saying
that the stove was red hot at that time.
There wasa lighted lamp in the rear
of the store, but as the fire when first
discovered was in the front of the room
it is not thought that the fire was
caused by the lame.

A DISCUSSION OF THE INFLUENCE OF
BEAUTY ON THE TENDER PASSION.

Did the Devil Ever Choke the Life Out of
a. Beautiful \‘I‘ouian?-—A Story Which Is
Very Lurid, to Say the Least—A Homely.
Woman Seen Through Love’s Eyes.

A discussion interesting to the ladies
is running through some of the French
papers. Briefly stated, the question is
whether or not beauty has anything to
do with the kindling of the tender pas-
sion. Handsome women say yes; home-
ly ones, or, to be more correct, the less
beautiful, say no. In proof of the
soundness of their platform, which re-
jects the plank of affection for loveli-
ness only, the latter have unearthed the
muety old legend of the loves of Leile
and Megnoun.

When the king of Persia heard of the
smitten young man, he sent for him and
asked him how it was that he had be-
come so desperately spoony.

‘ ‘In order to understand that, ” re-
plied Megnoun, ‘ ‘you would have to see
my ladylove.”

“Well,” said the king, “let’s see the
wonder.” '

Leile was brought before him. She
was redheaded, scraggy, squint eyed,
stump nosed and freckled face.

“A thousand blizzardsl” roared his
majesty. “Is this the object of your
extraordinary ardor? Splinter my scep-
ter! The meanest slave in my kitchen
is better looking than she!”

“Then judge how I must love her,”
said Megnoun, “ since she is as beauti-
ful in my eyes as she is homely in
yours!”

So far so good. But here comes the
lurid legend of the famous Ninon de
Lenclos. NinOn flourished during the
reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV, and
many enthusiastic descriptions have
been given of her incomparable charms.

Well, one fine day Mlle. de Lenclos
was quietly seated in her parlor when
the servant came to announce to her
that a gentleman wished to see her, but
that he would not give his name. She
told the servant to say to the stranger
that she was engaged with company and
could not see him.

“I know very well,” said the stran-
ger to the servant, “that mademoisello
is alone. Go back and tell her that I
have a matter of the very highest im-
portance to communicate to her.”

This strange reply tickled the caries-
ity of Mlle. de Lenclos. She gave or-
ders to admit him. He appeared before
her. He was a little old man, clad in
black, with a sinister look. He wore
a black skullcap and carried a little
black cane. His eyes were full of fire;
but, after all, his features were intel—
lectual.

“Mademoiselle,” said he, “be good
enough to send away yOur waiting
maid. Nobody but you alone must hear
what I have to reveal.”

Ninon was terrified at first, but at
last, remembering that she was in the
presence of a little, decrepit old man,
she took courage and sent away the
waiting maid.

“Don’t let my visit frighten you,”
said the stranger. “It is true that I do
not honor everybody in this way, but
you have nothing to fear. You have
before you a man who is obeyed, more
01' less, by all the world, and who can
bestow at will all the gifts of nature. I
was present at your birth. I fashion
the fate of all human beings, and I
have come here to learn from your own
lips how I shall dispose of yours. I
bring you the highest titles, enormous
riches and an eternal beauty. Which
will you have? Take your choice and
rest assured that no mortal on earth has
the power to give you so much.”

“Really, sir, ” said the woman,
laughing, “you are veryfékind, and the
magnificence of your gifts is so great
that”————

“Mademoiselle,” said he, interrupt-
ing her, “ you have too much good sense
to make fun of a man whom you do not
know. Choose quickly. Which will you
have—titles, riches or eternal beauty?”

“My dear sir, ” said she, “there is no
room for any hesitation over the good
things that you offer me. I’ll take eter-
nal beauty. But what must I do to
obtain this precious gift?”

“Mademoiselle,” said the stranger,
“you must write your name upon my
tablets.” And he presented to her an
old blackened tablet, upon which she
signed her name. Then he gave her a
light tap of his black cane upon the left
shoulder. “That will do now, ” he said.
“You will be beautiful all through your
life, and you will live for a long time.
You will create passions at a period in
life when other women are in the her-
rors of decrepitude. You will never
grow old. I give you the power to
charm everybody. During 6,000 years
I have traveled through the universe

earth I have only found four women
who were worthy of this great privi-
lege. They were Semiramis, Helen,
Cleopatra and Diana de Poitiers. You
are the fifth and the last to receive this
gift. Ask me no question. You will
see me, again, once more only, and that
will be when you shall have only three
days more to live. Remember my name
is Noctambule!” .

He disappeared, leaving Mlle. de Len-
clos frightened almost out of her wits.

The career of the wondrous beauty is
too long to follow. It is enough to say
that three days before her death Noc—
tambule appeared before her, showed
her her signature, and in a. dreadful
voice told her that she was captured;
that she lived all her life under the
power of Lucifer, and that her end was
at hand. On the third day he came and
choked her to death!

It is consoling to think that there is
some doubt about the exact truth of this
story. Indeed it is said that it goes
back far beyond the birth'of poor Nin-
on -de“Lenclos, and that it began with

' Louisemc Budos, the second. wife of

Henry I, who died in 1599.—New York
