Cold Snap Comforts.
Probably you don’t like the weather.
Well, it isn’t exactly the kind we would
have selected had we been consulted.
Still, to healthy people this ought to
be healthy weather. The air is cold,

. but it couldn’t be purer, even if import-

ed from the highest-priced health
resorts in the world. The snow is
deep but it is as dry as so much sand.

One warm, damp, sloppy day would
provide far more business for doctors
and undertakers. There is a thousand
times more danger in wet feet than in
cold noses, ears and fingers.

Fill your lungs when you can, don’t
hurry at your meals, get to bed early
and the cold snap will leave you better
than it found you.

A Sad Storv.

A sad story comes to us from the me-
tropolis—we mean New York, though
without prejudice to Bridgeport. \ t is
the story of ayoung couple recently
married, who had gone down from
Ridgefield to see the honeymoon from
the Brooklyn bridge and take a fleeting
glimpse at fashion in its native lair.
They were having a great time. The
days were days of pleasantness and all
their paths were peace. They looked
into the shop windows, chewed gum,
patronized the theaters, consumed
philopenas, and bought cheap and art-
less jewelry to their loving hearts’ con-
tent. They might have gone back to
iidgefield happier and more hopeful
than they left it if they had not en-
countered on Fourteenth street an aged
fakir with two fox terriers and a sump-
tuous flow of language.

The bride, however, was attracted
by the pups. She thought them cute.
She consulted her own hubby, and he
agreed with her effusively. Then the
fakir uplifted them upon a wind of
conversation and soared with them into
the coalescent fairy lands beyond the
clouds. Flnally they bought a pup
Fifteen dollars struck hubby as a stiff
figure for a dog, but Birdie wanted it,
and he disgorged. The pup was white
with a black patch over one ear and a
yellow spot over the other, and Birdie,
very logically and properly concluded
that they ought to call it Mab. Hubby,
however, after sOme further examina-
tion, thought that Jack would be bet-
ter—more musical and more appropri-
ate. Then followed a small affectionate
fuss, growing more heated and hostile
as mutual suggestions met With no re-
sponse, until at last hubby contemptu-
ously rejected the name Of sweetheart,
ofi’ered as an olive branch of comprom-
ise, and called his Birdie’s pup “a
measly little beastl’ At that the bride
threw up her hand—that hand so re-
cently attuned to dalliance~and smote
her hubby one resounding smite upon
the check. The ribald New Yord rab-
ble hemmed them ,lll and “sicked”
them on each other, and soon the peel-
er'came and hauled them to the cala-
bcose weeping, irate, full of recrimiua-
tion and reproach.

A sad, sad tale. Yesterdav two
hearts with but a single thought; to-
day two alien souls, and hate withal.
Furled by a pup.

 

 

Serious Accident. .

This morning an Italian named Frank
lose was driving up West avenue with a
horse and carriage. Vihen near Leon-
ard street he met the Street Railway
sweeper, and his horse became fright
cried and ran. The carriage collided
with a stone hitching~post near the
residence of Charles Hill where the
horse freed himself from the carriage
and ran to Belden avenue at which point
he Was stopped by Charles F. Loomis
and John Lovejoy. Rose was thrown
from the vehicle and struck headtore-
most on the sidewiilk. He was picked
up and taken into the office of Dr. J.G:

the office being fiecked with blood which
dropped from an ugly wound on’ the
man’s forehead. Dr. Gregory found
that he had sustained a wound that re-

that otherwise he was apparently unin-

[Communicated-l
Let us Have the Truth.
' NORWALK, FEB. 6th, 1895.

MR. EDr'roa :. ,I read in your Febru-
ary 4th issue an article on Rev. Mr.
Bobbins preaching in Broad River
chapel. 1 should be pleased, Mr. Edi-
tor, to make a few statements, if you
will kindly publish them.

I was at the meeting in the Chapel
on Sunday. He said he was looking
after his sheep as some one had stolen
them, and I am sorry to say Mr. Bob-
bins used language very unbecoming a
christian, never mind a minister. Now
I will just give one utterance that he
made. He said he would rather see
the itch come into the Chapel, than
Mr. Parsons. To show you how un-
fairly he judged Mr. Parsons, when Mr.
Parsons asked to make a defence he
asked that gentleman who he was. He
did not even know the man although
he slandered him.

Mr. Robbins took for his text the 1st
chapter of Galatians and brought out
this verse: “Though we or an angel
from heaven preach any other gospel
let him be accused.” _

It would seem that Mr. Robbins
thought that Mr. Parsons preached
one of the other gospels.

Now Mr. Robbins, I have accepted
Mr. Parson’s doctrine and I assure you
I don’t want Mr. Parsons to fool me in
this matter, and if you have the right
gOSpel and he the wrong, I want yours.
Ithink we ought not to be lulled to
sleep with what any minister tells us,
without the bible to back him.

Now Mr. Robbins, I would like to
have your doctrine and Mr. Parsons’
doctrine tested by the bible. But un-
derstand, it must be done with a Chris-
tain spirit, that we may find Who is in
error, which Ibelieve either one his
praying God may help us in the matter.

Now Mr. Bobbins we should let the
community judge, where you preached
that sermon around Broad River or
Silver Mine. Now, Mr. Bobbins, I
take the liberty in behalf of Mr. Par-
sons, who has gone to Philadelphia, be~
lieving he will be satisfied when he
bears, to compare doctrines. Now, Mr.
Robbins, I will see to it that a hall or
building is engaged. heated and light-
ed, without any cost to you, for you and
Mr. Parsons to show, by a friendly dis-
cussion, to the community, which
church teaches the nearest to the bible.
And may truth prevail and good be
done to the cause of Christ. Hoping
to hear from you, I am

St. Valentine’s Day.

St. Valentine who for so" many years
has been presiding over a cold shrine,
is to be brought back heartily into
fashion on the 14th of this month and
sniff the sweet savor of maidens’ pray-
ers and sacrifices on his altar. Those
who expect the kind saint to give them
a glimpse of their future husband, must
according to good authority, hie them-
selves to bed an hour before midnight,
carrying a taper only as a light and
never casting a glance to left or right
but looking straight before, put out the
taper on entering their bedrooms. On
the threshold they must unbind their
hair wash their hands in rosewater and
standing before a mirror slowly eat a
crisp seed cake baked in the shape of
a heart. This done all in the dark and
making sure never to retrace a step,
they get to bed with all dispatch, for if
they can dream before midnight the
vision will present the form and feature
of their future husband.

ATTACK 0N NINGHAI A FEIN T

How the Japanese Captured Wel-Hal-Wei.
The Report of the Sinking of the Chl- .
nese \Varsliips Has Been Con;
firmed From Hiroshima.

CHEFU, Feb. 9.—-The Japanese ships
which appeared today near Nlnghai, a
town between Wei-Hai—Wel and this city.
and began a bombardment of the forts
on the western side of the town left soon
afterward without doing any damage.
This confirms the impression that the at-
tack on Ninghai was only a feint of the
Japanese to cover a landing of their forces
at some other place. and people here be-
lieve that the capture of Chefu is contem-
plated. Every precaution is being taken to
defend the city. ‘

Another version of the appearance of
the Japanese ships off Ninghai is that they
were chasing two torpedo boats, supposed
to contain Admiral Ting, the commander
of the Chinese naval forces at Wel-Hal-Wel,
and Captain McClure, the merchant ma-
rine officer who was appointed to be assist-
ant to Admiral Ting. These two officers
were said to be escaping from Wei—Hal-
Wei on board the two torpedo boats, and
the Japanese are reported to have sunk both
vesselslat a point northward of Chefu.

According to the advices which have
reached here from Wei—Hai—Wel, only the
Chen-Yuan. of the Chinese naval squad-
ron at Wei-Hai-Wei. was sunk by the J ap-
anese. The sister ship of that vessel, the
Ting-Yuan, is said to be still above water,
but it is added that she is ashore.

The Chinese inhabitats of this city are
leaving by the thousands.

Chinese Northern Fleet Destroyed.

LONDON, Feb. 9.—A dispatch received
here from Chefu this afternoon says that
the Japanese have carried all the positions
at Wei-Hai—Wei and have captured or sunk
the whole Of the Chinese northern fleet.
The Japanese during the night of Monday
last, Jan. 4, cleared Wei-Hai-Wei harbor of
all torpedoes and submarine mines by the
skillful use of their small torpedo boats and
steam launches from the warships. which
small craft grappled for and cut the wires
connecting the submarine mines with the
shore. When these dangerous obstructions
were removed. the fleet of Japanese torpe-
do boats made a. splendid dash for the bar-
bor and attacked the Chinese fleet with
such skill that the battleship Ting-Yuan
was sunk. These tactics were repeated dur-
ing the night of Jan. 5. and the Chen-
Yuen, Lai-Yuen and another Chinese war,-
shlp were blown up, and the remainder
of the fleet was captured. -

Following'up this splendid success, the

Japanese completed the capture of .Weiy

Hui-Wei by landing a large force and
seizing the island of Lin-Kung-Tao, which
has made a gallant defense against-heavy
odds. Some of the Japanese warships
passed Chcfu early this morning and fired
a. few shots at the forts without, however,
doing any damage, and, in view of the re-
ports current in regard to the feint attack
made upon Ninghal yesterday, the belief
grows that the Japanese are going to at-
tack Chefu.

Official Confirmation.

HIROSHIMA, Feb. 9. ——An official dis-
patch received here from the Japanese
commander at Wei-Hai-Wei announces
that the Chinese warships Chen-Yuan and
Ting-Yuan and the Chinese cruiser Chin-
Yuen or Lei-Yuan were sunk by the J apa-
nese torpedo boats in the attacks just made
upon the remaining warships of China
at Wei-Hai-Wei. The oflicial dispatch adds
that two steam launches succeeded in
escaping, but they were chased by Japa-
nese vessels and were eventually disabled
near Chefu.

llIcGiffen Is a Pennsylvanian.

Pirrsnuno, Feb. 9.——Commander Mo-
Gifien Of the Chinese warship Chen-Yuan,
reported sunk at Wei-Hai-Wcl, is a mem-
ber of a. prominent Washington (Pal fam-
ily. His father, Colonel Norton MoGif-
fen, was a soldier in the rebellion. and
young McGiffen is said to be a. born fight-
er. He graduated from Washington-Jets
ferson college in 1875 and went to An-
napolis Naval academy, where he graduat-
ed With honors. He joined the Chinese
navy at the opening of the war.

LONDON, Feb. 9.--A dispatch received
here from Shanghai says that ‘there is an
intense antiforeign feeling on the Shang-
tung peninsula, and that the American
missionaries are fleeing hastily.

Dr. Palitschek on Trial.

VIENNA, Feb. 9.—Thetrial of Dr. Pulit-

The llIacliine Cuts Oil: the End and Lights
the Cigar.

It’s a wonderful labor saving device for
smokers that an employe of a Broadway
hotel has had patented. It leaves noth-
ing to be desired. ‘

It is a machine that cuts a. cigar neatly,
lights it, draws a few puffs on it and
deposits it on a. tray all ready for instant
use.

“Some persons think‘there is.a. little
too much of themachine,” the inventor
said to me recently, “but I believe in
having things complete and up to date in
every way, manner and form.

“You drop your cigar in aslot. It falls

on a. small platform. A spring knife
cuts Off the tip. Then it drops down and
one end fits into a tiny hole, which com-
municates with a. cylinder of compressed
elr. At the same time the other end
comes in contact with a. small gas jet.
f “The air draws on the cigar, puffs it
two or three times, until it gets a good
start. Then your lighted cigar rolls down
this inclined plane and drops on the tray
all ready for business.

“Will I have a. slot arrangement so a
man by dropping a. coin can get a. five or
ten-cent cigar already lighted? Really I
hadn’t thought of it. DO you think it
would be a. good soheme?”—-N. Y. Herald.

 

Mrs. Barnes-‘3 Story.

Mrs. Barnes, one of Chicago’s society
leaders, is telling an entertaining little
story to her friends. The other day she
wanted to go fora drive, but when her
coachman appeared he proved to be
lamentably intoxicated. Mrs.
upbraided him indignantly:

“John,” she said, “you’re drunk.”

“Yes’m,” he responded, with effusive
meekness. “I am.”

“Well,” continued his mistress, “you
can’t drive me out in that condition!”

“No’m,” was the reply, “but if you’ll
go hire a. carriage, I’ll pay for it, mum.”

nerves and brain. Their every-day

labor is a round of exacting duties that

tax heavily their nervous strength.
The modern minister must keep up

his enthusiasm, his hopefulness and his v

genuine love of his work. He must
feel strongly, think deeply and have
confidence in his labor and in himself. -

But all this taxes heart and brain to
their uttermost. It calls for a tremen-

dous outlay of nervous energy seven.

days in the week and 365 every year.
Many clergymen break down utterly
under the nervous strain. -

Rev. I. P. Quimby, the well-known
Boston preacher, has been saved from
nervous prostration.

In a publication of his Sunday school
he has recently published the following
Open letter : -

BOSTON, Nov. 20, 1894.

Never in my life have I commended
any prOprietary medicine, but I Would
be derelict in duty ii” I failed to let the
public know what a great boon to hu-
manity I believe Paine’s celery com-
pound to be. With a family of seven,
I have not paid a dollar for a doctor in
ten years, and I owe it to the fact that I
always keep Paine’s celery compound
on hand, and when any of us are “ out
Of sorts,” administer it.

Both wife and I, in our arduous
church work, are often by anxiety and

overwork, reduced to the verge of her
vous prostration, and as often, by the
use of Paine’s celery compound, re-
stored to our wonted energy of mind
and vigor of body.

Our sons, who are young pharmacists
tell us they sell more of Paine’s celery
compound than any tWO proprietary
mfidicines, not excepting the sarsapa-
ri as. . ~

Yours for Paine’s celery compound,

an. .P. QUIMBY.

Pastor of Broadway Church, Boston.

come from any, cause impoverished,
Paine’s celery compound succeeds as
nothing else has ever done. -

From a state of depression, exhaust-
ion and lifelessness the nerves grow
strong, active, and perfectly nourished
by means of Paine’s celery compound,
the great modern nerve and blood
remedy that makes people well. And
with the strengthening and regulating
of the nerves the disorders that depend
on the faulty nutrition of these tissues
disappear. Such are rheumatism,
neuralgia. heart weakness, headaches,
low spirits, lack of strength. and that
general poor health that is impossible
to define. Sound nerves, healthy blood
and an all round, vigorous constitution
of the body is the invariable effect of
taking Paine’s celery compound. This
great modern restorative corrects dc.
rangement of the nervous system, and
averts prostration when protracted

poorly fed, devitalized condition. Try
it.-
