California Catarrh Cure is perform-
ing its mission in Norwalk. Month by
month thousands- are added to the
growing army of its users and friends.
:in a few short months it has bounded
into the foremost position as the most
popular remedy in N orwalk.
are none in the city now who have not
heard of it, and the number of those
who do not use it grows smaller every
da .

The reasons of its sudden and lasting
popularity are easy to find. Ask the
next man you meet, and he will tell
you it is because it removes the bad
breath, the slime in thethroat, and the
scabs in the nose; because it has stop-
ped the hawking, choking, gagging
and nausea; because it has cured the
aching head, the dry throat, the buzz-
ing in the ears, broken up stubborn
colds, prevented tonsilitis, diphtheria,
bronchitis and consumption, and per-
manently removed every trace of
catarrh. That is what it has done and
is doing to disease in N orwalk, and on
cures like the following rests its won-‘
derful popularity: '

Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street,
N orwalk, says : “I have been a great
suii‘erer from catarrh for over thirty
years, having contracted the disease
during the war. My whole head seem-
ed full of scabs, and the discharge
from the nose and into the throat was
somethlng awful. My head ached con-
tinually, and I never got agoodnight’s
sleep. I procured a bottle of Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug

store, South Norwalk. It has given ,

me more relief than I have had for
years; my head is very much improved
and I can now sleep all night. It is
certainly a great reliever, and I am
glad to recommend it. Nothing among
all the things I tried before helped me
one-quarter as, much in months as
0.0.0. has in a few weeks.”

You don’t have to wait to find out if
it will help you, for it relieves at once.
To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use
0.0.0. now. It is a sure preventive of
this and all mucous diseases. All
di'uggiSts, 500; three times as much for
one dollar. ’

Is there anything more trying than
to lose a train» by the m'erest hairs-
breadth‘.’ To know that it left‘ten

, minutes before is sufficiently harrowmg

but to be so near and lose it is the
meanest sensation of all.

A Mountain of Gold.

The most famous and most puzzling
of all gold mines is Mount Morgan. It
is supposed» to be the product? of a hot~
water spring, and is simply a mountain
of gold, but of gold that has already
been treated by Nature.
off age the hill has been a huge natural
crucible, and all the gold it contains
has been already mined, chemically
dissolved, and precipitated by Nature
herself. All the gold ever discovered
in the mountain exists in a sort of
golden flour dissolved through iron-
stone.

 

ACord of Wood.

Few persons comprehend the produc-

nve capacity of a. cord of wood. Chem-
ical experiments are occasionally de-
veloping new uses for wood in matters
remote from its ordinary adaptability,
and the feature that is exciting a great
deal of interest just now is the trans-
formation of wood products" into
iquids. ‘ Although under the strongest
kind of pressure Wood yields scarcely
my moisture, by means of heat wood
will evolve gases and liuqids of marked
potency and utility. In converting
wood into charcoal, gases and smoke
trise which can be condensed into pys
roligneaus acid. It is estimated that
there is fully 65 per cent. of this acid

tcetate of lime and wood tars. The
llcOhOl thus obtained is said to be a
very satisfactory substitute for grain
tlcohol for mechanical and manufac-
turing purposes, and it can be produced
Lt less than one-third of the cost of the
rrain alcohol.
, Investigations conducted with practi-
:a1 objects in view have disclosed thes‘e
Interesting facts: A cord of ’ wood,
which weighs 4,000 pounds, will yield
tbout 2,050 pounds of pyrollgneous acid
and 700 pounds of charcoal; the acid
will produce about nine gallons of 82
ner cent. crude wood ,alcohol, about 25
gallons of tar; and, fully] 200 pounds of

Rights of Individuals Guaranteed
by Constitution, Suspended

PIRM MEASURES ADOPTED

Peace Negotiations Are'Thought to Be in

Progress. Sagasta Says, “Peace but it
Must Be Honorable Peace.” The People
at Large Fav‘or Pacific Measures. Cuba
Will Be Given Up, but Porto Rico and
Philippines Must Be Retained.

Madrid, July 16.--The official Gazette
yesterday published a. royal decree
temporarily suspending throughout
the Spanish peninsula the rights of
individuals as guaranteed by the con-
stitution. The decree adds that the
government will render an, account to
parliament of the use it may make of
this measure.

The publication of the decree is gen-
erally accepted here as being convinc-
ing proof that Spain is now ready to
sue for peace, and that negotiations to
that effect are actually in progress.
The government wishes to have full
power to suppress any evidences of dis-
content or rebellion whenever they ap-
pear.

The pacific tendency is increasing.
The general public takes a. favorable
view of the suggestion that the pow-
ers shouldvattempt the re-establish-
ment of peace. But it is said, contrary
to the reports current, that France has
not taken the initiative.

One minister expressed the conviction
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday and there is rea-
son -to believe that France has offered
her services to Spain, and that Spain
has drawn up conditions for peace that
offer a basis for negotiation.

Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying
that Spain wants peace, “but it must
be an honorable peace, such as Spain
deserves.“ He is also said to have de-
clared: "The army is anxious to re-
sist to the last, but the government
cannot consent to such a. useless sacri-
fice. Had we our fleet the situation
would be very different."

‘ The minister for war, General Correa,

is quoted as declaring in an interview
that he thought peace might be ar-
ranged onthe following terms:

Therni‘ted States and Spain 'to agree
to let the Cubans decide by a plebiscite
whether they desire independence or
autonomy under the suzerainty of
Spain: . “- ‘1" If“ ., or
-The two governments to agree to
abide by the result of the plebiscite.

withdraw her army gradually and dig-
nifiedly from Cuba.

Continuing, the minister for war re-
marked: “We ought to retain Porto
Rico at all events, in order to be 3.1-

cans will be able to despoi-l us in course
of time, and in order to more easily
communicate With the South American
republics, wih-ich daily .display the
greatest enthusiasm for Spain.
“As to the Bhilipplne islands, it
certain we' will

is
retain them, even

-pying Manila, of which place-their oc—
cupation will be most brief. An official
dispatch announces that the rebel
chiefs and the Americans will not al-
ways agree, which is to Spain’s ad-
vantage.

“Tlhe _. government has formed a
scheme which Will not only'assure t3
Spain the possession of the Philippine"
islands, but which will te-establish
tranquility." ’

The Carlists are furious and are sur
to attempt to create trouble. '

 

INDIVIDUALS GET THE BONDS. I

 

None Left for Those Who Applied for
Lots in Excess of 85,000.
Washington, July‘ 16.--In speaking of
the bond issue Secretary Gage said that
accurate figures could not be made up
for several days. The first issue of the
bonds would be made on the 26th of the
present month.
Secretary Gage has also made public
.5. statement in which he says: ’
“It may now be considered as a. set-
, tled fact that'no allotment of bonds can
be made. to banks, corporations or oth-
er forms of associated capital. The
subscriptions made by individuals re-
ceive preference under the law, and
the aggregate of individual subscrip-
tions is far in excess of the total am-
ount of bonds offered. In fact no allot-
ment to individual subscriptions will be
possible where such sibscriptions are
jin excess of $5,000. The bonds will not
begin to draw interest until August 1."

VOTING ev SOLDIERS.

 

If Peace is Declared Before Election This
States troops May Not Vote.

Albany, N. Y., July 16.--The,fra.mers
of the soldiers' vote bill have encoun-
tered another constitutional snag. The
constitution provides that an opportu.
n-ity to vote shall be afforded New York
state soldiers in the federal service only
in time of war. .

Senator Wray said yesterday that if
peace should be declared before elec-
tion, and New York state troops could
not reach herein time to vote at their
homes, or were stationed as an army
of occupation in some of our newly ac-
quired territory, they could not be al-
[OWed to vote. owing to this provision
of the constitution.

 

E. Benjamin Andrews Elec'ed.

Chicago, Ill., July 16.-~President
Harris of the school board has sent a
telegram to Professor E. Benjamin An-
drews of Brown University notifying
him of his selection as superintendent
of the Chicago public Schools. Profes-
sor Andrews will formally accept the
appointment within a few days and
prepare to come to Chicago to assume
his new duties within ten days.

IA Compact is Said to HaveBeen Made
With Aguinaldo.

London, July 16.--Mr. S. C. Valdes is
in‘Lond-on as the nominated represent-
ative of the Philippine insurgents un-
der Aguinaldo. Mr. Valdes is a “na-
galo” or native of the Philippines, di-
rect descendants of the Japanese, who
were the traders in the islands when
the Spaniards first made their appear-

Mr. Valdes was born in Batangas.

cago and London. To a. representative
of the Associated Prices M-r. Valdes
said:

“There is a sea of blood between the

Spaniards and the Philippine islanders, »

who have received nothing from the
Spaniards but outrage, injustice ‘ and
prejudice. The opportunity of the
Philippines has come. We will be
faithful to the Americans and will fol-
low their advice.

“We have an agreement with the Am-
ericans, with Admiral Dewey, as fol-
lows:‘

1. The independence of the Philip-
pines shall be proclaimed. '

2. A republic Shall be established
with a government designated 'by Gen-
eral Aguinaldo and approved by Admi-
ral Dewey or General Merritt, as the
case may be.

3. The. government will recognize the
temporary intervention of the Ameri-
can and European commissioners des-
ignated for the present by Admiral
Dewey.

4. The American protectorate shall
be recognized on the same- conditions
as arranged for Cuba.

5. Philippineports shall be opened
free for the commerce of the world.

6. Precautionary measures shall be

adopted against Chinese immigration,
so as to regulate the competition with
the work of the natives.
. 7. The corrupt Judicial
present existing shall be reformed, in-
trusting at the commencement the ad-
ministration of justice to competent
European legal oflicials.

8. The complete liberty of associa-
tion, and ofthe press shall be declared.

9. There shall be a. general religious

toleration, but measures shall be adop-

ted for the abolition and expulsion of-

the religious communities, who with an
iron hand have th-itherto demoralized
the. actual civil administration.

10. Measures conducive 'to the work?

natural resources of the country shall

11. The development of the public;

wealth shall be facilitated, together
with the opening of, roads and rail;

12. The existing obstacles to the
forming of commercial enterprises and
investment of foreign capital shall b
suppressed. . ‘

13. The new government will keep
public order and will be obliged to pre-
vent every act of reprisal against the

' Spaniards.

14. The Spanish official element shall
be removed to some other safe and
healthy: island, until opportunity is pre-
sented for them to" return to Spain. -

“This, of course, applies practically

“Yet at that moment Sag-ante states?

lines nequested by the natives.

"We shall at last get our reforms,

but they will not come from the hands
of those who created the abuses, but,
from the hands of our libel-atoms."

Panic in Barcelona.
London, July 16.--A special dispatch
from Barcelona 53.“ that the inhabi-

tants of that city are panic stricken;

They believe-the Americans will se-

lect defenceless Barcelona as the first

port to bombard. ,

The local banks are removing their

The Mines Are Being Removed.

New York, July 16.--The task of re-
moving the submarine mines in New,
York harbor was actually begun yes—
tel-day morning, under the direction of
the United States engineer corps. For
the past month or more frequent pro-_
tests have been made to the war de-,
partment at Washington and to army
officials in New York regarding the
presence of mine fitlds in the channels
of the bay, the objections being based
chiefly on the claim that there is no.
longer any need for such stringent de-
fence measures. . .

A Captive British Schooner: .

Key West, July 16.--The British
schooner E. R. Nickerson, which was
captured on June 30 by the Hornet, Hist
and Wampastuck, off Cape Cruz, while
attempting to run the blockade into
Manzanill-o, was brought :here yester-
day by a. prize crew under Lieutenant
Dougal. She-has a. cargo of provis-'
ions, hogs, goats, etc.

She had a. crew of negroes. Two pas—
sengers were on‘ board. She was bound
from Jamaica.

 

Difficult to Get Ships for Deportation.

Washington, D. 0., July 16.--The war
department expects to experience con-
siderable difficulty in getting steam-
ships in which to convey the Spanish
prisoners of war to Spain. A few pro;
positions were received yesterday from
foreign steamship companies, but the
lowest bid'was $4 a. head for the trip.

Washington, D. 0., July 16.--Secre-
:ary Alger, at [the conclusionoftyester-
day's cabinet meeting; said that it
was the intention to retain, for the time
being. practically our, entire force at
Santiago. , .. .

As soon as the commission of Span-
ish and American officers arrange all
the, minor details of the surrender of

Int-o the high plateaus some miles from
the coast, where they will \be outside
of the fever belt. .

This is all that has been positively
determined uponin regard to the dis-
position of our troops in Cuba.

Further developments will depend on
the result of the conference between
General Miles and General Toral, and
their respective assistants.

President McKinley, yesterday, ,in
speaking of the fall ofthe city of San-
tiago, said:

“I hope for early peace now."

The subject of peace was not men-
tioned at the meeting, and it can be
authoritatively stated that the presi-
dent has not received .an intimation
from any official or even. semi-official
source that Spain desired peace upon
any terms that could be entertained by
the United States.

The surgeon general of the army rec-
ommended to Secretary Alger yester-
day morning rth‘art the best thing to be
done is to remove our troops at San-
tiago into the mountains.

Orders to this effect have already
been sent to General Shaffer and he
will keep the men out of the fever
districts until it is known just how seri-
ous is the disease.

Reports were in circulation at the
war department yesterday morning
, Chaffee and Duffield
were both sick with the fever. The
ofiicials refused to confirm this rumor.
however. ‘

It is thought that the troops will be
kept in «the highlands for several days
before orders are issued detaching any
considerable portion of the army for
duty at Porto Rico to bring them
home.

It is understood that the yellow fever
germs develop in about a. week, and it
is thought that the army will‘be kept
in Cuba at least this length of time
before it is formed into a new expe-
dition. The intention of Secretary Al-
ger is to have theentl’re foroevof Gen-
eral Shafter'stay in safe territory (un—

DEWEY PRAISESCHINESE.

 

Suggests That Those on Board His Ships
Be Made Cititens.

Washington, July lea-This official
statement was iSSued by the state de-
- partment yesterday: .

“In further proof of the nobility of
the character of Admiral Dewey is his
recommendation to the United States
government that the Chinese servants
and other Chinamen who were on the
ships of his squadron during the bat~
tle of Manila, and who rendered most
efficient service on that occasion and
behaved in a most exemplary manner,
be recognized by- this government in
some substantial manner. He seems
to think that menpwho have battled for
our country should not be excluded
from it.

“In referring to these Chinamen he
says that they shOWed such courage
and energy in the face of the enemy
. that they are certainly worth the treat-
ment accorded citizens of other coun—
tries, who have not thus‘exposed their
lives for the country in which they
seek citizenship. ,

“He is decidedly in favor or recogniz-
ing these brave and useful Chinamen
in such a. way as shall admit them to
the United States in case they desire
to enter it and to become citizens of
lt.'!

Admiral Dewey’s communication,
which came by mail, also gives the
most generous recognition to all those
who participated in any way on board
of the American ships during the bat-
tle of Manila.

This anecdote has nothing earthly to
do With Mr. Wm. F. Knapp, engineer
and fireman at Roth & Goldschmidt’s,
SouthNorwalk, but it serves to intro-
duce him tothe' Norwalk- public, and
at the same time shows the close rela-
tion between the 'tinker’s .work on the
engine and average humanity’s, wh en
they tinker with their kidneys. Mr.
Knapp tells how be cured his. Read
this statement:

“I am an old time engineer, and like
a. great many men who followed my
calling, the weak spot in my anatomy is
my back, probably caused by becoming
over-heated in a warm atmosphere and
then expose to cold. Be that as it may,
I had considerable trouble with my
kidneys, and although I used simple
household remedies and on one or two
occasions took medicine, I was never
able to completely rid myself of the at-
tacks. Reading about the work per-
formed by Doan’s Kidney Pills in and
around the Norwalks, I came‘ to the
conclusion that they might help me,
and procuring a supply, I commenced
the treatment. After completing it I
was so greatly improved in my general
health that I conscientiously endorse
[Doan’s Kidney Pills.”

Just such emphatic endorsement is
plentiful in N orwalk. Drop into Glen-
dening& Co.’s drug store and hear

“There are explosives of such tre-
mendous power,” said Edison recently,
“that“they, go foffgwhen I shout at
them. I simply place aismull‘dro'p of
explosive on the table and any sudden
agitation of the atmospherewill :cause
it to explode. You see the thing is in
a state of ' very delicate equilibrium.
It is a question depen ng on sur-
rounding conditibns as t which it
will do—remain a. liquid or turn into
gas. When, as in the casgjust men-
tioned, this balance is about equal.
