Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by alady in this coun-
try. “ Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she with-
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a. bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking. the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. C.

- BAD REPORTS.
Third Connecticut Regiment 'Uri'desirable
Neighbors. "
According to reports from Somer-
ville, S. C., the Third Connecticut vol-
unteers is an, organization not. in high
favor there. Residents of the place
say they will be glad when the regi-
ment leaves them, as the conduct of
many of the men since the command
has been located there, has been that
of rufllans instead of soldiers. It is as-
serted that the residents of the place
and visitors have been held up on the
streets in true hobo style by some mem-
bers of the command and money dc-
manded from them. A refusal would be
resented with abuse of a vile kind.
Recently a member of the regiment
went to the home of a colored resident;
where he raised a disturbance and at-
tempted to cut the throat of the woman
of the house. He was arrested, and,
it is said, insanity was found to be the
cause for his conduct. A number of
the members of the regiment appear to'
be men who believe a United States
uniform gives them the privilege of
committing any sort of an unlawful act.

A Case of Desfifution.
Two children of Mrs. Larsen, a desti-
tute woman who lived on Pine street,
South N orwalk, were committed to the
County home this morning at the court
in South Norwalk. The children are
Annie, aged 2 years and four months
and Lawrence, aged 3 years and eleven
months. The children were taken to
the home but were refused admittance
as they were under age. The children
were then taken to the town home where
they are being cared for. The mother
was sent to the hospital this morning
for treatment. The poor woman has
been sick and needy for several weeks
but has managed to struggle along in
her misery, trying to care for her in-
fants.

COST OF PEACE COMMISSION.
Their Total Expenses to Paris and Return
Did Not. Exceed $100,000.
Washington. D. C., Jan. 7.--Much has
been published about the expenses of
the peace commission in Paris, and the
amounts paid to the commissioners.
The truth is that the total cost will
not exceed one hundred thousand dol~
lars.
It is said in official circles that there
never was a more econOmical ‘commis-
sion in the history 'of this country.
\Vhen the war ended the president
still had some of the emergency appro-
priation. and 8125.000 was set aside for
the expenses of the commission. who
were allowed their actual expenses. It
is said they'were given a check for
$15,000 each to cover incidental expens-
es and necessities
The attaches of the commissidn were
allowed five dollars and ten dollars :1
day for expenses, according to their
rank, and this was all.
As the commission did little enter-
taining. giving only one dinner, which
cost seven hundred dollars, the outsid?
expenses‘were small. '
When the commission arrived in
America all bills were receinted. ac—
counts cleared up and the president
had a comfortable little balance of the
$125,000 to turn back into the treas-
ury.
