A Wrong-Deer Captured by Special Ollicer Hunt. As long ago as December 6th a war- rant was sworn out for the arrest of one Edward Cooke. The charge against him was breach of the peace, intoxication and malicious destruction of property.

Later be, it was alleged, stormed the Murphy house with a shower of stones, and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. - . Cooke, learning of this fact,‘ kept out of the reach of the officers until Saturday evening, when he was “gathered in” by Officer Hunt. In the towu court 'this morning, Judge Gregory fined him $20 and costs amounting to about the same sum, in; default of which he was taken to the Bridgeport jail.

The progress of modern ~ medical science has led to the discovery of suc- cessful methods of treatment for most of those maladies once regarded as in- curable. Asthma has always been re- garded as belonging to this obstinate class, baffling-the skill of the greatest physicans. ' Thousands of sufferers know by their 0er experience that lit- tle if any relief has been afforded them by the methods heretofore employed. Dr. Rudolph Schifimann, the noted physician, has, after a life-long study of Asthma and, kindred diseases, dis- covered a remedy which not only gives instant relief in. the severest cases of Asthma, Hay-Fever and Bronchitis, but has actually cured thousands whose cases had been pronounced in- curable. So complete is his confidence in his remedy, that to overcome the skepticism of the public growing out of the failure of other remedies,Dr. Schiff- mann requests this paper to announce that all day Thursday Sept. 22d he of- fers a liberal sample box of “Sch iff- mann’s'Asthma ‘Cure” free of charge to all persons applying at E.

AMATEU‘RES/AT REPAIRING CLOCKS. a Man's Experience With an Eight-day“ ' Timekeeper. ./ “Watch repairers have a horror of touching a clock that has been tinker- ,ed, by amateurs,” explained a watch repairer to a Star reporter, “and they would rather get out of such a job if they can do so, for the loss of one of the smallest parts means considerable 'work to reproduce it, and. much more work than the general customer ex- pects or wants to pay for. ‘ They try to‘get rid cf such a job when they can, for in nine cases out of ten the result is not entirely satisfactory. Peo- ple who have a good clock, unless they know somethingabout the way clocks are made and how they should be tak- en apart, will do, the wise thing to let it alone when it gets out of order. Ex- perimenting with it often means the ruin of the clock. It is absolutely dan- gerous to try to unwind a main spring, as men have discovered for them- selves, unless the proper tOols are handy. Now a clock repairer has a contrivance known as a spring con- troller, which grasps the spring and holds it while being taken out‘ or be- ing put into the clock, so that there is no danger. The spring for an eight- day clock Is often two yards long, and When suddenly let free it files out with nearly the'fprce of a charge of shot from a gun. Some time ago an officer of the signal corps thought he would tinker his clock. He did tinker it, and in taking out the main spring it got away from him. In its flight it took off a $5 lamp from a parlor table and crashed in the glass of a $20 man— tel mirror, besides doing other dam— age. The $4 clock cost 'him in damage exactly $25 besides cutting his hand seriously.”—Washington Star. ' Taxoil \Vorae Than We Are.
