A strange kind of disease is epidemic
among the horses in—- Danbury. and
many have been reported sick in the

somewhat like “pink eye,” but it is
said to be different from that disease.
One of the symptoms is a swelling of
the legs, sometimes they are twice their
normal size. This is accompanied by a
cough and a great weakness.

AMUSEMENTS.
O’Brien, the Contractor.
A combination of pathos and. humor,
together with an exceptionally strong
and interesting story of American life,
are component parts that make Daniel
Sully’s great play, “O’Brien the Con-
tractor,” the success that it is. Mr. Sul
ly has a role that fits his personality ex-
actly, and is pervaded with a character-
istic individuality that makes it a
strange portraiture as natural as it is
new. As O’Brien, Mr. Sully portrays
an Irish American that is a tribute to
the worth and dignity of Irish charac-
ter. Hoyt’s Theatre, Saturday night.
Lyric Stock Opera 00.
The Lyric Stock Opera company, di-
rect from a run of 641 consecutive

the rendition of Operas is a good chorus,
and that the Lyric Opera company

chestra.

Suppliidzs 'NJE'Xi'i Blue.
It is commonly believed that the
sapphire is known only as a gem of a
rich velvety blue in color. As a mat-
ter of fact the sapphire occurs in ya—
rious hues. In Ceylon, where the fine
est specimens of this gem are found,
it ranges from the soft, velvety blue
to the peacock blue, graduated in the
latter to an almost faultless white. It
also occurs in whites, greens and yel-
lows, the latter shade being known as
the Oriental topaz and the green the
Oriental emerald. The white sapph-
ires are often found clouded or
streaked with blue, so that many spec-
imens are cut which are white when
looked {at transversely, but having a
bit offine blue tint on the under
point. Then there is the red sapphire
or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as 'high-
ly as the finest Burmese rubles. Those
most highly prized are of a rich pig-
eon blood, or rose red color.—-Pittsburg

haying contracted the disease during
the war Mv whole head seemed full of
scabs, and the discharge from the nose
and into the throat wassomething awful.
My head ached a‘most continually, and
I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro-
cured a bottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisled’s drug store, South
Norwalk. It has given me more relief
than I havethad for years; my head is
verv'much‘ improved and I can now
