There will be a mass meeting of the
Central Labor Union to-night. A lead-
ing question as to the drinking of
“union” or “non-union” beer, so called.
A good way out of the difficulty would
be for the speakers to advise the drink-

prevail, but couldn’t a happy medium
1 be reached by suggesting seltzer.

fined five dollars.
The masquerade ball given by Louise
Lodge,Daughters of Hermann last night
was well attended, there being some-
thingupward of seventy couples on the
floor. The costumes were as varied as
the hues of the rainbow, and in pris-
matic beauty were a pleasure to the eye
and heart. It was an early hour in the
morning When the festivities came to a
close.
The programme committee of the
Norwalk Chapter, D. A. R. . request
that any members of the Chapter who
have any relics of George Washington

meeting on Feb, 25th. will report the
fact to any member of the committee.
The members of the committee are
Miss A. Scott, Mrs. C. A. Quintard and
Mrs. A. Blanchard.
There is a question, and it seems to
be a pertinent one, “Why is it that the
city does not keep the section of brick
pavement on Main street as free of ice,
snow and debris as does the Street
Railway company of its portion of the
same?” This question may be followed
by another, “Why is it that the cross-
walks after a storm do not receive at-
tention until complaint has been made?”
Perhaps no one is at fault. Neverthe-
less those conditions prevail and ought
to be alleviated. '
A pair of shoes, one a No. 8 tie the
other a No. 6% Congress perfectly new.
was found in the corner of a coal bin
at Ferris’ coal yard this morning,
Frank N.Ferris toOk them into his office
and as neither one fitted his feet be
notified Chief Vollmer with the result
that it was found that they had been
pinched from in front of Levy’s place
on the bridge. Levy is foxy in that
his sample shoes as displayed are a
combination that will warrant the re-
turn of the shoes and perhaps the ap-
prehension of the thief.
Gov. Cooke paid his first official visit
Saturday, to Fitch’s Home on Noroton
Heights, and presided at a meeting of
the Executive Committee of the SOI-
diers’ Hospital Board, of which he is a

these meetings must be held once in
three months. The Governor was ac-
companied by Adj t.-Gen. Haven, Sur-
geon-Gen. Phillips, Capt. Thompson
and other members of the committee.
The business transacted by the commit-
tee was of a routine, order. The visit-
are made a careful inspection of the
Home, which they found in excellent
condition. There are at, present 460
veterans in the Home, and of these 61
are in the hospital department. _

AMUSEMENTS
The Fast Mail.
On Friday evening next, the doors of
Hoyt’s Theatre will swing wide open
for the production of Lincoln J. Car-
ter’s“Fast Mail.” The railway has
often been used by the dramatist, but
never before to such an extent as in
Carter’s famous play, “The Fast Mail.”
Afreight train with fourteen cars, a
lighted caboose and. a full-sized loco-
motive, with engineer, and fireman,
crosses the stage in the most realistic
and noisy manner, while later in the
play a Mississippi river st'eamboat,with
bells and whistles and engines in full
Operation, moves in and explodes with
terrific force. A great scene is also
given of Niagara in real tumbling
water. The company is an efficient
one and there is a great deal of fun to
go with the sensational effects. A

Connecticut Training.
It has taken Private Secretary
Thurber all these years to master the
art of not caring what the newspapers
say of him. John Addison Porter will
assume the secretaryship with the art,
which is a great one, thoroughly mas-
tered. So much for Connecticut train-
ing—New Haven Register.

The Anarctic, is a continental land
unique in the world. Its desolate shores,
rarely approachable under most favor-
able conditions, are laved by an ocean
the richest 011 the globe in its marine
lift—animal and vegetable. Seals and
whales in incredible numbers abound
in its waters, and countless seabirds
cover with nests and eggs the few fav-
ored land spots which are free from
snow (Ii_ll'll]_2," the brief, comfortless
summer. It is a continent ,where
abounds no land animal life, either

tiles. No mammal. exists within six
hundred miles of its borders. It is
also devoid 'Of land vegetation (ex-
ccpt the lowest forms of cellular tis-
sue, lichens, which have, been found in
two places only), having neither ferns,
fiowcring plants, shrubs nor trees. ‘
Here. however, Nature displays her
fol'C'OS on a scale elsewhere unknown.
Over the millions of square miles of
this nustrnl continent ceaselessly con-
tinues a titanic struggle between the
opposing ancient elements of fire and
water. In vain the volcanoes, pour
forth streams of molten lava and shoot
upward pillars of fire. Welcoming the
lava as a protecting, non-conducting
covering of its lower strata of flowing
glaciers, the continental ice cap resist-
lessly advances, certain that in time,
when the processes of erosion have low-

ters, its countless, tiny snbwflakes will
quench the apparently unextinguisn
able fires that now shake from end to

WEDDED AT LIFE’S SUNSET.
Mrs. Rivers, 97, Takes Mr.Witham, 87,
for Better or for Worse.
In an old weather-worn house on the
Dean road, runnipg from Deerfield to
Nottingham, Mrs. George Rivers, who
is 97 years old and does not wear
glasses, married her fourth husband,
Jacob Witham, ten years her junior.
She is also his fourth wife.
In his younger days Mr. Witham fol-
lowed the sea, but for nearly half a
century he has worked on a farm. He
holds the record for wood cutting, hav-
ing at one time felled and cut into four-
foot sticks nine and one-half cords be-
tween sun and sun, and is pointed out
as the man who ones out fifty cords of
wood in twelve days. Once when he
was in Cambridge, Mada, he mowed
an acre of grass in 57% minutes. He
has lifted 1,000 pounds dead weight,
and he could box. This latter accom-
plishment made the younger roisterers
of Deerfield respect him when ,he was
a constable, thirty years ago. In 1861
he went to the front with the Seventh
New Hampshire, and was in the ugly
charge on Fort Wagner with forty-'scv-
en others of his company when all but
five were killed—New York Sun.

A school inspector, having a few min-
utes to spare after‘ examining the
school, put a few questions to the low-

“What is the use of that map?" he
asked, pointing to one stretched across
a corner of the room; and half a

One Case and There Are Others.
There is a large body of heifers 111 New
England. The movement has been gain
ing oforce for some time and has become
so powerful that those interested are
anxious to declare themselves, They are
bolting ancient and useless methods of
treating catarrh and hay fever, and they
have come out in full force for California
Catarrh Cure because they have tried it
and know its worth. Here a1e words
from a Rhode Island man who has tried
many medicines and treatments before
he got what he wanted in California
Catarrh Cure. the greatest and only
known cure for catarrh. Mr- George
W Whelden, of 119 Clay street. Paw-
tuckct, says; “I have long been a suffer
er from a. complication of diseases. I
have heart trouble and my system is run
down, so that it is extremely hard to get
it toned up and keep it 50. One of the
complicauons which this state of my
system causes is a bad case of pharyngeal
catarrh. Among the many different
medicines which I have tried to benefit
my system and thus reach my caflarrh,
has been a widely advertised Sarsaparilla.
After taking this for a time, I found that
instead of benefiting me the medicine
contained some ingredient that was prov-
ing absolutely harmful. I wrote to the
proprietor of the Sarsaparilla and asked
1ft11e medicine contained such and such
ingredients that might affect my heart.
which Was already naturally weak. He
wrote back that the medicine did, and
advised me to give up its use. Lately I
have become a believer in the method of
local application. I have tried a well
known specialist, and he helped me fo:
the time being. A few weeks ago I re-
ceived a bottle of California Cat arrh Cure,
and used it according to directions. The
method Of using is much the same as that
advised by the specialist, and the results
are equal or superior to those of his ex-
pensive medicine. I believe the method
of local treatment to 'be the true way to
relieve and cure catarrh, and I believe
California Catarrh Cure to be the most
beneficial 1n this treatment. ”
