Patent ' Commissioner Seymour’s summer camp at Smith’s Island, breaks up to-morrow. Murphy, the temperance lecturer will open a series of talks on temper- ance at New Canaan, Friday evening. The Republicans and Democrats of New Canaan held caucuses last night and placed in nomination town officers. The propeller Vulcan did not reach this port last evening owing to the storm. She will be here this afternoon. But seven women have thus far reg- istered at the Town clerk’s office this year. The roll now includes about forty names. .. ‘ A meeting of the officers placed in nomiu'ation at the Republican town caucus last evening will be held at the office of Coolidge and Lynes to-night. Deputy sheriff Fred S. Lyon went to Bedding yesterday and replevied a Milburn wagon and horse rake belong- ing to August De Bruycker, which had been attached by Constable Bartram. Consolidated railroad stock continues to advance in price and Monday a block of 17 shares were sold in Boston at 170, which is an increase of about three points in the last two weeks and the highest point reached since the general tumble early last summer. ' BRiILL BROTHERS SLASH PRICES. Treawell as Slate’s-Big stock to '13. Sold at 'Half Price. - There was a great crowd'of people at the former stores of Tredwell &-Slote, Grand street and Broadway, New York, this week. Brill Brothers, who purchased the entire stock, began their big reduction sale at ex- actly half the prices asked for the goods orig- inally by the old firm. The stock consists of men’s clothing and furnishing goods, and con- ;tains a fine assortment. To appreciate the significance of the re- duction in prices, it isenough to know that imported suits of Vienna hawe been knocked down from $40 to $20: melton and English beaver overcoats, sold formerly at $60, .will be disposed of at $30, while $50 garments of the same kind will be sold for $25. There is a large line of fall overcoats, which will be sold at from $7.50 to $15, just half of the prica asked for them in the first place. Trousers will range from $2.50 to $6, and ulsters from $7.50 to $25. Dress suit trousers will be sold at $4 to $6, and dress coats of the best qual- ity for $15, whileva very good article has been placed at $7.50. Particular attention is called to the large assortment of men’s fur- nishings~ofvall descriptions, which'are'to be disposedof so as to enable those who wish to take advantage of an opporunityr to lay in. a. supply of everything needed for the winter to do so at a low price. Bicycilsts also will find it to their advantage to visit the store. ' A few years ago nearly giall newspapers published, at this Season, re’cxpes for summer complaints. Now such items are seldom met with. Publishers have learned that there is nothing quite as good as Chamber- lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for these diseases and as it is in general use everywhere they have quit publishing these reci es. , No one having a bottle of this remedy in the house need fear an attack of bowel complaint. It can always be depenfiud upon and'is pleasant and safe. For sale y E. P. lVeed, Druggist. O Major \Vatts Goes Free.

Mrs. Russell Frost and son Russell Frost jr., of Courtland Place, left this morning for New Haven. The horse belonging to the Mauresi Institute is getting quite a reputation for walking on the sidewalks. Attorney John H. Light will address a Republican meeting in the Volunteer headquarters at East Norwalk, Thurs- day night. The net proceeds from the four nights of St. Joseph’s Catholic Fair amounts to about $700. The attendance last night was not 'as large as usual. Owing to the east wind and heavy sea on the sound yesterday afternoon and last night, a large number of craft sought shelter in the harbor. Owing to the severe storm on the sound lastnight, the propeller Vulcan did not leave New York until this morning, reaching this city this after- noon. ' .

It was on his boat that the owner of some dredges found his missing property and 'took them away by advice of Supt. Birmingham. Ever since the affair, when Byxbee met the owner of the dredges, he would call: the latter names and abuse him. This resulted in Byxbee’s arrest, as stated. Albert Weber was arrested yester- day afternoon for evading his fare be- teen New York and this city. . It seems that he has a commutation ticket and not having it with him ‘he had some trouble with the conductor. This morning in the Town Court Judge Frost fined him 85. He claims to be a son of Weber the piano manufacturer and has telegraphed for his father. At the races to be held in White Plains Saturday there will be a special race between the Stearns sextuplet, a tandem and a single wheel.

Finch, of Stamford, and Archie Ofl'en, of New Canaan. . , Yesterday the long drawn out case of the Town of Norwalk vs. Alphonso Dibble, of Rowayton, for the recovery of a certain approach to the Rowayton river, was heard in the superior court. It was seven years ago when the trtuble szarted. Mr. Dibble fenced in an approach to the river which had been publicly used and the residents objected. The suit has been pending ever since. Mr. Dibble has original deeds for the property, but its long public use has cancelled thesr, it is claimed. Attorney Levi Warner repre- sents the town and Hurlbuit '8: Greg- ory, the defendant. The “annual report” as it is now called. With a general statement of the Consolidated road was given out to— day. The business of the road is ac- counted for to June 30 lr st. The con- dition-of the road, its earnings, ex- penditures, dividends and amount of surplus have already been treated of in the general statement issued Sept. 12.

They Violate Laws of Nature and Business and Cannot Stands The collapse of the Diamond Match Trust and of the American Biscuit Trust emphasizes the fact that in the long run speculative monopoly means bankruptcy. . No sensible and observing business man can doubt this. No honest man ' The laws of trade have not changed. At bottom they are, the laws of hum-annature, and human'nature is so constructed that 'in the long run fair play wins and foul play loses. . . ' It is true that in business there are seeming exceptions to the rule. and that these are sometimes striking—so striking that in the minds of many they seem to overthrow it. But they do not. The success of the Standard Oil Company, for instance, is the ex- ception, not the rule. The supply Of coal oil is strictly limited by nature. Having secured control of all import ant oil regions in this country, the Standard Oil Company uses its enor- mous and fraudulently obtained power to maintain itself in wrongful possession of a field that nature itself has restricted. Even this success, the greatest achieved by monopoly in modern times, is not permanent, and is only maintained by constant Strug- gle at enormous cost. But where the field is free, where opportunities are open to all, speculative monopoly is doomed from the start. . .Whenev-er such a monopoly is or- ganized it invites increasing competi- tion, not only from legitimate inves- tors, but from those who wish to “break in," to blackmail or “nickel- pla'te" it. Such competition has be- come a recognized feature of the trust system. So soon as a trust is estab- lished speculators begin to see what they can do in starting up companies which are not intended to compete with it legitimately, but to compel it to buy them out or “take them in on the ground floor." The Goulds could not break into the Diamond Match Trust, but they have succeeded in bursting its speculative stock bubble. .This sort of thing has been carried so far that only a few. of the existing trusts are succeeding in holding up prices. The rest are being victimized by their own methods—as they ought to be.—New York World. A Three or a Five. . In a well known bank in Edinburgh, the clerks are presided over by a rather impetuous manager whose vio- lent fits of temper veryéften domi« unto his reason. For instance, the other day he was wiring ’into one of them about his bad work. “Look here, Jones,” he Ithupdered, “this won’t do! These. figures are a perfect disgrace to a clerk! I could get an office boy to make better figures than those, and I tell (you ’I won’t have it! Now look at that five. It looks just like a three. What do you mean, sir,_ by making such beastly- figures?, Explainl.” . “I—‘aer—I beg pardon,’ sir,” sug- gested the trembling clerk, his heart fluttering terribly; “but—er—well, you see, sir, itisa three? I “A three!” roared the manager. “Why, you idiot,:it looks just like a five!” ’_ . ’ And then the subject was dropped for an indefinite period. A Unique Coffin. A workman engaged in casting metal for the manufacture of ord— nance in the Woolwich arsenal lost his balance and fell into 'the caldron containing twelve tons of molten steel. The metal was at white heat and the man was utterly consumed in less time Ith-an it takes to tell it. The War Depautment authorities held a conference and decided not. to profane the dead by using metal in the manufacture of ordnance, and the mass of metal was actually buried, and a Church of England clergyman read the services for the dead over it. THINGS TERSELY SAID. Life isabook 0f clear, white pages, given us at birth, “'hcrein to write the record of our lives-— The record which beyond us still survives. The story of our pilgrimage on earth. A. Bronson ’Alcott crystallized a great truth when he said: “We mount to heaven mostly on the ruins of our cherished schemes, finding our failures successes.” - ~ - ' John Wesley showed how foolish is was for men who hope to win to spend their time in fretting when he said: “I dare no more fret than I dare curse ‘und swear.” When Peter Cooper was asked at an advanced age how ‘he had accom- plished so much and ‘had preserved his strength of body and mind so well, he said, “I always 'find something to keep me busy.” ' Charles Dickens uttered a sentiment that every young man who desires suc- coss would do well to lay to heart, “The one safe, serviceable, remunera- tive quality in every study and pursuit is the quality of attention.” Sir Walter Raleigh, when asked how he managed to achieve so many and. . such diverse thin-gs- in such brief times as he required for accomplish- ment, said. “When I haveanything' to do, I go and do it.”‘ _ The. everlasting truth that Character is sure to win success was put- in concrete form when William Evartsv said of a famous preacher: “The man behind the sermon is the secret of John Hull’s power." , '. - - John Stuart Mill showed how pos- sible :it; is for a man to rise above his environments in these words, “Though character is formed by circumstances, our own desires can do much to shape these circumstances.” ‘, NOTICE.
