Parsnip complexion.

 

It does not require an expert to de-
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the dark, puffy circles under the eyes,
the sa’llow parsnip-colored complexion
indicates it.

A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble.
desire to urinate often, or a burning or
scalding sensation in passing it; if after
passing it there' is an unsatisfied feel-
ing as if it must be at once repeated. or
if the urine has a brick dust deposit or
strong odor.

When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing the
cause.

TROUT SEASON

Sportsmen Are Beginning to Overhaul Their
Fishing Tackle. ,

The trouting season 15" only two
weeks hence, unless the Sportive fish-
ermen go at it with rod and reel on
Sunday,- April].

Eve1ything seems to point to a good
season and although in previous years
the same indications have later proved
disappointing, owners of pi‘eServes this
year are beginning to overhaul their
fishing tackle with undiminished con-
fidence. Should a cold snap appear,
though, it will undoubtedly be the 15th
of the month before the fish will bite.

The freshets this.yea'r' have not been
so strong as in previous years, nor are
the streams at all dry; and this fact
along with the warm weather would
seem to deserve their confidence.

The season nowadays opens April 1
and continues until June 15, thus being
15 days shorter than in previous years,

in accordance with the recent actlof.

the legislature of 1897 in reducmg its
length. While. none of the sportsmen

regret very much losing the fifteen

days, as they feel it to be for the best
intei'ests of the trout, many of them
wish that the reduction had been made
from the beginning instead of the end
of the season, .as the first fifteen days
of the fishing depends 'entirely upon,
the weather as to whether or not it will
be worth the trouble. Indeed the only
reason assigned for the time being cut
off from the end of the season as it was
is that the farmers on whose lands the
preserves are located fear the destruc-
tion of their crops at this time we‘re
than earlier. -

The case is assigned to begin to-

Death of Rev. A. S. Gumbart.

Rev. A. S. Gumbart, pastor of the
Dudley street Baptist church of. Bos-
ton, died Sunday from heart failure.
He was one of the best known Baptist
clergymen in New England. He was
for some time pastor of the Baptist
church in South Norwalk, and was a
brother of Principal E. H. Gumbart, of
East Norwalk, who received word of
his death by telegram Sunday after-
noon. "

Mr. Gumbart was born in Roxbury
November 25, 1853. He was of HugueL
not descent and received his early edu-
cation in New -York. He was ordained
to the ministry in 1878 at Port Rich.
mond, Staten Island, where he preach-I
ed fer some years prior to coming to
South N orwalk. _In 1884 he left South
Norwalk, having accepted a call to the
pulpit of the Noble Street Baptist
Church' in Brooklyn, where he labored
for fivecyears prior to his call to Boston.
He was secretary. of the New York
Baptist Ministers’ Conference. and
later its premdent. His knowledge of
Sunday school work was so highly” re-
garded that there was hardly a state,
county Or city association in the vi-
cinity of New York to which he had
not delivered addresses. He‘ entered
upon his duties as pastor of the Dudley
Street Church on Sunday, January 19,
1890. ' Dr. Gumbart was married Sep-
tember 4, r1879; to Miss Lucinda B.
Parkinson of Keyport, N. J., who sur-
vives him with two daughters, Misses

Another on the Long List)

of New Canaan
Fires.

THIS TIME A SALOON.

Damage Done Probably Not in Excess of One
Thousand Dollars. —

Another fire was added, last night,

to the rather long list of fires that have
occurred in New Can.1.an of late.
' About 11 o’clock Sunday night, John
Kelly, who sleeps in a room over the
saloon of John Wicerman,‘ at the cor-
ner of Railroad and South avenues, was
awakened by. a suffocating smell of
smoke.

He managed to open a window and
after regaining his power of speech,
hojlle'red “ tire!” and lost no time in
getting outtof the building.

The fire departmept was promptly at
the scene and in a short time had the
fire thoroughly sq uelched. I

The fire was found tohave originated
in a closet under the back bar of the

saloon and had followed the pine
wainscotting of the building which is

of brick, the smoke from which burn-
ing wainscotting had awakened Kelly.

The burning of the" bar
plots, and the owner’s loss is roughly

was com-

estimated at 8250 upon which there
is an insurance. ~

The main damage to the building
was the destruction of three large plate-
glass windows valued at perhaps $300.

The building is owned by James E.
Davis, and the loss is covered by in-
surance.

It is believed to have been set on fire.
The cause, will receive a thorough in-
vestigation. I

Said a New Canaanite, “I don’t be-
lieve they can place the cause of this
fi1 e at the d001 of the fire -bug.”

WINDSOR HOTEL FIRE.

sixteen Dead and Sixty-toni- Missing.
Search For Bo‘die‘s :Be'gnn.

I NEW YORK, March 20. a-The total

loss of life in the Windsor hotel fire-

Friday afternoon cannot he certainly

known for days. , Ofily a start has been

and until the work is pomplete the" in-
ferences drawn from the lists of the
missing are the closest approximation
to the truth at which it is possible to
arrive.

The search for the bodies of victims
started early Sunday morning and con—
tinued all day.

workmen had not got far into the
wreckage. Three more of the injured
died Saturday.

The total of known deaths is 16, ac-
cording to latest accounts, and 64 are
reported missing. Many of the howl
servants, whose number does not figure
on the missing list, have probably lost
their lives in addition.

All day yesterday hundreds of people
hung on the outskirts of the forbidden
territory craning their necks to catch a.

one of the city's great hotels.

The work of search began with about
50 men. The men are required to work
in eight hour shifts. As the wreckage
cooled the number of workmen was in—
creased, until last night the number
had grown to over 1,000. ~ '

The first estimate of the insurance
loss caused ,by the fire, which placed
the damage sustained by all property
affected at $1,000,000, is regarded by un-
derwriters as comparatively accurate.-
The loss on the hotel was reported as
total, and the insurance was divided as

and furniture, $110, 000. The use and
occupancy insurance was said to aggre-
gate $50,000. 'The total insurance loss
on the property of guests is not likely
to exceed $75,000. The aggregate insur-
ance losses thus far reported on adjoin-
ing risks, excluding the damage to the
Gould residence, which is not consid-
ered heavy, will probably not eitceed
$45,000. _ These estimates indicate a total
insurance loss of $955,000, to which must
be added the Gould damage and what-
ever small losses have not yet been re-
ported. . _

Mr. Leland, the proprietor of the
burned hotel, has already announced
his intention to rebuild at once on the
same site.

One Windsor Guest Safe.

LITTLE FALLS, N. Y. M'arch 20.-—E.
'1‘. Lansing of this city, one of the guests
of the Windsor hotel and who registered
from New York” arrived here yesterday;
He left the hotel an hour‘ before the fire
on business. He lost $200 worth of wear—1‘
ing apparel.

A Baltimore Lady Missing.

BALTIMORE, March 20. —The rela-
tives and friends of Miss Dora Hoffman
of this city, who was registered at the
Windsor hotel on the day of the fire and
WhO‘haS since been missing, have aban-
doned all hope and given her up f0:
lost.

THE HAZELTON SHOOTING.

 

Austrian Press Accuses the Govern-
ment of Neglecting Its Dnty.’

LONDON, March 20.——'_I‘he Vienna. cor-
respondent of‘ The Standard, referring
to the recent editorial allusions by the
Politische Correspondenz to the Hazel—
ton shooting and its announcement that
the Austrian foreign minister intends
to press the “just claims advanced in
behalf of Austrian subjects,” says:

“I have reason-to believe that the
Austrian government has.not the slight-
est intention to seek a quarrel with the
United States. The press, however, is
constantly accusing the government of
neglecting its duty in the Hazelton af—
fair, and the government will not let
the matter drop until Count Goluchow-
ski, the'Austro-Hungarian foreign min-

the delegations that the standpoint of
the American government, indicated in
the latter’s note of Feb. 4, is legally and
morally incontrovertible, though the
sheriff of Lattimer might have waited
longer before giving the order to fire on
the excited strikers.”

President Kruger Talks.

PRETORIA, March 20.—President
Kruger, in an important speech at Hei-
delberg on Friday, emphasized the ne—
cessity of the state retaining the. dyna—
mite monopoly,:-because, as he argued,
the South African Republic, being an
inland state, in the event of trouble
with any of the powers, its supplies of.
explosives might otherwise he suddenly
cut off, “Where should we be then '7” he
exclaimed. He announced his intention
to modify the mining laws and to re-
duce the period entitling an applicant
to full burghership from 14 to nine
yeais’ residence.
