I suffered from Eczema on the right ear. I
could hardly keep my hands off it, the itching
was so severe. Small bubbles would open,
emitting a watery-like substance, apparently
poisonous. One of the leading doctors here
treated me, and applied the usual physician’s
remedies without benefit. My brother rec-
ommended that I try CUTICURA. The first
application was soothing, and before the box
was half gone the disease had disappeared.

EVE’S RAMBLINGS,
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
' OF ,THEM.
Should profanity be a just cause for
the separation of man and wife ? Should
a wife be forced to live with‘ a husband
who swears at her or sacrifice her right
to support?
The question has recently been be-
fore two Justices of the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, and two de-
cisions were rendered that were at
variance.
In a casevbefore Judge Smyth he held
that profanity was not a causefor sep-
aration, while Justice Pryor held that
husband if he curses her.
justices rendered a decree of separa-
tion, though Justice Smyth based his
on the fact that the husband was
proved to have made threats against
the bodily safety of the wife.
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis, when
asked her opinion, said: .
“I sympathize with Justice Pryor in
his decision, and I wish the time were
here when the use of profane language
would be a cause for legal separation.
At present such a thing would be too
radical, but if all men were like some
men, such a law would cause little
commotion and work no injustice.”
Mrs. Ballington Booth said: “The
separation of husband and wife is such
a serious matter that it should be the
last resort.”
“To be sure, the conduct of a hus-
band who swears at his wife is repre-
hensible in the extreme. It cannot be
excused. The wife who is so treated
should try in every way to win her
husband from his evil ways, and if she
exerts herself as she should, she can
often be successful. She should not
think of applying to the court for a
separation merely because her husband
used disagreeable words.
“Of course there are exceptions to
all general statements. Without ex-
cusing the profane husband, it is but
just to say that many wives give their
husbands great provocation.
As a general thing the sort of a wife
who would appeal to the law to separ-
ate her from a profane husband would
be the sort of a woman who would be
likely to cause such profanity.
She would not be the woman calcu-
lated to induce a husband to forsake
his evil ways and behave as he should.
But profanity,no matter how shocking,
should not be a cause for judicial separ-
ation of husband and wife. ”
The opinion of Mrs. Booth would
seem to be the most reasonable and
sensible.

HOUSING MEETING
The United States ”of America
: National Volunteer Reserve
on Deck.
Excellent Music and Patriotic Speeches
at Music Hall.
The meeting called by Mayor Bo-
hannan at Music Hall‘Saturda'y night,
for the enrollment of volunteers in the
United States of America National
Volunteer Reserve, was one of the most
patriotic gatherings witnessed in Nor-
walk since the days of ’61.
The hall and stage were profusely dec-
orated with the Stars and Stripes, in
fact “Old Glory” was in evidence in
every nook and corner of the large
hall, which was crowded with patriotic
men and women.
Upon the stage were seated the
speakers, invited guests, male quartette
and Freeman's orchestra.
On the front seats in the body of the
halls. drum corps was seated, which
started the evening’s entertainment
with “Rally Round the Flag Boys.”
When the applause which followed
this stirring music had subsided, May-
or Bohannan stepped to the front of the
stage and after welcoming the audience,
introduced John H. Light as chairman
with W. C. Foote as secretary of the
meeting.
Mr. Light called upon the orchestra
for some music, and Sousa’s celebrated
march “The Stars and Stripes” was
rendered and received a perfect storm
of applause. Secretary Foote next
read letters from Revs. Kavanagh,
Beard and Winters, each regretting
his inability to be present but sending
words of encouragement and patriotism.
The quartette composed of Messrs.
Whittaker, Force, Wehle and More-
house was then called upon for a song
and rendered “My Country ’Tis of
Thee,” which called forth an encore.
The chairman next introduced Mayor
William Bohannan of Stamford, whose
eloquent and patriotic words were
greeted with tremendous applause.
The orchestra followed with a medley
of National airs, at the close of which
Commodore Smith of Stamford jumped
to his feet and called for three cheers
and they were given with a. will.
Dr. Charles Rowell of. Stamford was
then introduced and made an enthusi-
astic address which brought forth more
applause from the audience. The
quartette followed with “Rally ’Round
The Flag Boys,” and then amid a per-
fect, storm of applause Gen. Russell
Frost was introduced and made one of
his happiest speeches fillhd with remin-
iscences and patriotism.
Homer Cummings of Stamford fol-
lowed Gen. Frost with a few patriotic
words after which the quartette sang
“Tenting To-night.”
Commodore Smith of Stamford fol-
lowed and made a most happy impres-
sion by his earnest words. He also
read a patriotic telegram from Con-
gressman Hill which was greeted with
loud applause. More music followed
from the drum corps and orchestra and
speeches by Lewis H. Nash, Robert
Pierson and others.
Chairman Light called for volunteers’
roll he was greeted by applause from
the audience. ,
The meeting was most‘ successful and
some 25 signed the roll, while anumber
carried away blanks wlth them to sign.
and return to Mayor Bohannan. '
From the ehthusiasm displayed it is
safe to say that N orwalk will have a
good signed company of volunteers
within a very few days. ..

A HAPPY THOUGHT
A South Norwalk Cornet Plsver Sounds
the Glad Tulings of Victory.
, To John Hyslop, a. South Norwalk
cornetist, is due the first announcement
of the grand victory of the United
States naval forces over those of Spain
in the harbor of Manila.
Between one and two o’clock this
morning upon receipt of the news of
Commodore Dewey’s victory, John
Hyslop hastened to his home and se-
cured his cornet, and scaling the fence
at Washington street and Railroad
place mounted the railroad bridge, and
sent forth the grand old tune of the
“Star Spangled Banner.” .
Never can he play it again with such
inspiration. 'It aroused the sleepers 1n
thrown open and people listened en-
chanted as the‘ sweet notes of the tune
pierced the still air.
sigh for more of the same sort that the
listeners retired to rest with the
thought that victory had perched on
America’s banner, the truth of which
was fully verified by this morning’s
news.
Come again John, in with the same
glad tidings no matter what hour of
night or day.
FIRED FROM A PLATFORM.
One Employee Hurls Another from a
‘ Moving Tramwav Car.
It is reported an employee of the
Tramway road became engaged in a
wrangle with a party higher .-in au-
thority than he on the back platform
of a car that left Darien at 10:17 last
night, in which the man of the lesser
authority was thrown from the car by
the man of the greater. This occurred
near the Jacob Raymond place.
An attempt to stop the car was frus-
trated by the “man in authority,” and
the evicted person was left to get home
as best he could. During the scrim-
mage a pane of glass was broken in the
car which will probably lead to explan-
ations on both sides of the case.
It is understood that the party eject.
ed will bring a suit for damages against
the company.

Jose Ynleniu, Who Plotted to. Blow
Up the Monitor Puritan, Fell with
Twelve American Bulletfi in His
Body, Just an the Sun Wéut Dov’vn
Key West, May 2.—News' has‘ Just
reached here that Jose Yglesias was
shot and killed on board the monitor
Puritan Saturday evening for treason.
Yglesias was a. Spaniard, who had
been in the naVy so long (seven years)
that his loyalty was considered as-
5u1.ed He was one of the most active
members of the crew of the Puritan,
1nd, barring an occasional eccentricity,
did his work faithfully.
Until the- reduction of the forts at
Matanzas by Admiral Sampson, his
conduct was above suspicion, but his
'family lived in, Matanzas, and the
bombardment made him moody and
sullen.
He brooded over the danger he fan-
cied his family was in, and last
Wednesday evening he stole to one of
the magazines and was trying to saw
the lock off the door, when he was seen
by one of the crew, who at once gave
the alaim.
Yglesias was caught at his work. He
had with him some cotton waste and
rockets, and sullenly admitted that he
had intended to set fire to the waste
and take his'chances on escaping by
iumping overboard before the explo-
sion occurred.
He was placed in irons and tried by
e drumhead court martial Friday.
There could be no doubt of his guilt on
his own admission, and he was prompt-
ly condemned to death.
One day was given him to prepare for
death, and at sunset last night he was
led out to die. A file of marines exc-
cuted the sentence of the court.
When the volley roared Yglesias fell,
riddled with bullets. Death was instan-
taneous. ' ’
