Duke Johann Albrecht, the brother
of the late grand duke, has assumed
the regency of the grand duchy of
Mecklenburg-Schwerin. ~
The grand duke, it appears, had been
suffering terribly, and on Saturday
evening he asked his doctor to leave-
the room in order that he might try
to get sleep.

a few minutes later still living, but so
injured that he died in half an hour. ~

years been in very indifferent health,

Amounting to $5,000,000.
Washington, .April 13.—The supreme
court of the United States, denied the
petition for a. writ of certiorari 'in thé
case of the American Bell Telephone
company versus the Western Union
Telegraph company to compel the cir-
cuit court of appeals for the first cir-
cuit to certify the case to the supreme
court. The case involves the question

pany by the Western Union company
and was originally brought in the cir-
cuit court for the district of Massachu-
setts to secure an account of these roy-
alties. It is understood that about. $5,—
000,000 isdnvolved. It appears that aft-
er instituting the suit the Western
Union sought to have it dismissed,_and
after it was dismissed the Bell company
appealed to the circuit court of appeals.

Here is a casein oint’ :
Mr. R. G. Mil'ard, 0t 51 West Avenue
South Norwalk engaged in the fur
manufacturing business in West Norwalk
says“ Ihavc had kidney trouble for years,
and have taken so much medicine and
been under the care of physicians ,so -of-
ten that I ought to be an authority on
the question. I seemed to be rid of my,
trouble for a time, but it showed signs
of returning and I wanted to check it.
I noticed some published statements a-
bout Doane‘s Kidney Pills and procured
a box at Hale’s' Pharmacy in Norwalk.
They helped me, and a continuance of
the treatment I believe will eventually
effect a radical cure.”
