' GOOD iEV-ENING.

The price of real estate on Harbor

 

avenue is on the raise.

 

' Miriage licenses appear to be on
the wane in Norwalk.

Consolidation was crowded rther

ing.

A noticeable improvement in the

manner of sprinkling the streets is
observed.

A scandal affecting a well known“
NOrwalkoi’ficial is now being discussed
by the gossips. ‘

Our citizens should hang out their
flags to-morrow and turn out to witness
the fire parade.

Mayor Farnsworth of New Haven
thought he was a politician, but he
knows better now.

 

Many a'business man can be seen in-

dustriously digging in his garden
these mornings, but it’s onlyablufi‘.

He’s after bait.

Lastinight’s town meeting resulted
in nothing being accomplished except—
ing, perhaps. adding more expense to
the tax-payers.

'The I'esideiits of West 1 street: are
wondering what has become of that pe-
tition to the red line to extend its

tracks in their direction.

The firemen are promised showers
t0-
morrow, but it will take more than a.

for their parade and inspection

flood to dampen the ardor-Of the fire
laddies. . '

l‘lxpress. “is quick to see public opiu-

_ occasioiially “see” Tammany, it might

be put through at Albany by telephone

A ‘

. Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years

by the chains of disease is the worst .

form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester. Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: “ Mv
wife has been so helpless for live yearus
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im-
proved and able to do her own' work. ’5
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
lessness, melancholy. headache, back-
eche, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
to weak, Embryo. run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 500.

BACK FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

 

McClure ”Says the Filipinos Are Good
Fighters, but Americans Excel.
WASHINGTON, April 19. —— Major

Charles McClure has arrived in Wash-

ington ‘to assume duties in the office of

the judge advocate to which he. has
been assigned. He was in Manila. from

August until .March 1‘0, when he re—

iEIe says that

the enuntry through which General

MacArthur’s division has been operat—

ing is the very best in Luzon and high—

ly productive. Cavite is also a- very

gOod province. .

Major ‘McClure speaks in the highest
terms of the fighting qualities uof the
American troops and says that the re—
ports about the anxiety of the men to
getou't on the fighting line are true.
There .mlght have been some discontent
about garrison duty, but when the fir-
ing began the troops. seemed very well
satisfied, especially if they could get
into the midst of it. , . ,'

He says that the Filipinos :are not to
be sneered at as fighters. 'They put up
very good resistance. They are armed
with Mausers and Remingtons and
when forced back and obliged to run
swing the guns over their shoulders and
lead and fire as they retreat, sometimes
hitting a man in this way. They are
imitative, and when they saw the effect
of vollEy firing adopted it and with ef—
fect. They also imitated the bugle calls
of the Americans. Being very good mu-
sicians, they picked up the calls quickly.

, Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discov’eryrhas been
made, and that to, by a lady in this coun-
try. “ Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she withs
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
s'eemed imminent. For three month-
she coughed incessantly, and could hot
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.

RUSSIA’S PLATINUM MINES.

A Grout Many oil 'l'hem‘nave Fallen
{into the Hands} of Fot‘elzn
Syndicatel.

 

-/
Practically the whole of the world’s
supply of platinum comes from Rus-
sia. Nearly all the important mines
have passed intothe hands of foreign—
ers. AccOI‘ding to a St. Petersburg
newspaper,. there is a group of mines
Concentrated in the Verkhotursk'dis-
'trict of the government of Perm, num-
bering about '70, of which 40: are be—
ing worked. In the course of last year
several of these passed into the hands
of foreigners, including a Paris syn-
dicate having a capital of several mil-
liony‘francs, and five out of the exist-
ing seven great platinum enterprises
in the Urals are now reported to have
been purchased by foreigners. There
is said to be really no demand in Rus-
sia for the metal, and when Russians
owned the mines they exported the
ore in the rough state to 'be treated
in Germany audiother countries. The
production of the mines in the Verk—
hotursk district amounted last year
‘tg about six tons. , This may not seem
a large quantity when we consider that
platinum .is the heaviest of the met-
als, excepting the still rarer metal,
iridium; but it must be borneinmind
that it can only be compared with
gold in value. The price per ton was
estimated, in connection with the pur-
chase of some of these mines by the
Paris syndicate hlrcady referred to, at
from $500,000 to $960,000. Vien it is
considered that no new veins of the
metal have been discovered in RuSSia
for a long time, and that the present
veins will soon be exhausted, it becomes
evident that the Russians have lost
.an important industry, and the only
one which enjoyed a monopoly of th
world‘s supply. -
