Visit Washington.

Every patriotic American at some
time or other is anxious to visit Wash-
ington and enjoy the sights to be seen
at the National Capital. Some persons
may consider it a duty to make the
trip and be able to say they have stood
beneath the dome of the Nation’s Cap-
itol I and visited the various depart-
ments of a government which is to-day
foremost in‘ progress and enlighten-
ment. ,

The public edifices at Washington
command the admiration of the .world.
The Capitol, Executive Mansion, Con—
gressional Library, Department of State
Navy and War Departments, U. S.
Treasury and Patent Office, and De-
partment of Agriculture, teem with in-
structive interest. The Botanical Gar-
den, Smithsonian Institute and Muse—
um, U. S. Navy Yard, Marine Barracks,
U. S. Arsenal and numerous attractive
squares afford ample scope for sight-
seeing. Men prominent iu the affairs
of the Nat-ion are daily met on the
beautiful streets of Washington, or in
various departments of the Federal
Government. No where in the world
is there opportunity for seeing so many
men of mark whose names are familiar
to newspaper readers as at the Nation—
al Capital.

The privilege of passing ten days at
Washington is offered all travelers
over the Pennsylvania railroadés hand-
somely equipped line.

and full information will be furnished
by Agent Harris at the depot.-

A Thousand Tongues

Could not express the rapture of
Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard St.,
Philadelphia, Pa., when she foundthat
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption had completely cured her of
a; hacking cough that for many years
had made life a burden. All other
medicines and doctors could give her
no help, but she says of this Royal
Cure—“it soon removed the pain in
my chest and 1 can now sleep soundly,
something I can scarcely remember
doing before. I feel like sounding lts
praises throughout the Universe.” So
will everyone who tries Dr. King’s New
Discovery for any trouble of the Throat,
Chest or Lungs. Price 50c and $100.
Trial bottles free at John A. Riggs’
drug store, 11 Main street; every bot-
tle guaranteed. .

GOODIEYl-INING.

Anonymous Baptist scribblers are
springing up quite rapidly by way of
South N orwalk.

 

 

Norwalk’s Woman’s Exchange is the
most flourishing organization of that
kind ln the state.

The ofiicers of the county fair asso-
ciations are busily engaged in securing
war heroes for the approaching season

Norwalk was visited by several bands

of Indians last night. They were fine

specimens of Americans and behaved
themselves just as well as their pale
face brothers.

He Fooled The Surgeons.

All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of
West J etferson, 0., after suffering 18
months from Rectal Fistula, he would
die unless a. costly operation was per-
formed; but he cured himself with five

Pile cure on Earth, and the best Salve

THE OTHI-ZR FELLOWS.

The darkest hour in the history of
any young man is when he sits down
to study how to. get money without
honestly earning it, is just as true, to-
day, as when Horace Greeley first ut-
tered it.—New Haven Union.

 

 

It‘ is said of those Greenport. L. I. ,
girls, who have agreed to boycott
young men who drink, that the maid-
ens want to make sure, when a young
man pours out his tale of love, that
he is inspired by ardent affection and
not by ardent spirits.—Meriden Jour-
nal.

Croker turned his back contempt-
uously on the Lexow investigators and
went oil“ to Furope.’ Does he think
things more serious 'now than they

 

were then? In it perhaps a conscious-

ness of Governor Theodore Roosevelt’s
attentive interest in the present pro-
ceedings that is troubling bluff—Hart-
ford Courant. ’

It is inconceivable that there should
be war between the United States and
Germany on account of Samoa. Such a
war would be more than a misfortune;
it would be a crime. The ties of amity
and kinship that bind the two nations
together are worth more in a day than
the whole Samoan group is worth in a
Century—Chicago Tribune.

The Connecticut committee on agri-
culture has reported a bill punishing
with a fine of not more than $7 and
costs any person who shall “pull up,
tear up, dig up or destroy any roots of
trailing arbutus on the land of another.”
The legislature might be in worse busi-
ness than protesting against wanton
waste of this delightful harbinger of
spring—Boston Transcript.

Four citizens of Danbury were arrest-
ed a few days ago for neglecting to keep
their children in school as required by
law. They were fined $5 each and kept
in jail until the fine was paid. Danbul'y
is the city that cast the largest vote in
the state against the proposition to re-
quire voters to be able to'read the Eng-
lish language—New Haven Palladium.

N orwalk religious circles are stirred
up over the developments in the First
Baptist church there. The society has
extended a call to the Rev. DeWitt
Talmage Van Doren, to become its per-
manent pastor, and the minister has ac-
cepted. Simultaneously with his ac-
ceptance, Judge Perry, president of the
executive board, and other members,
tendered their resignatiOns' on the
ground that Mr. Van Doren isn’t suffi-
ciently orthodox. The local papers are
printing voluminous communications
on the subject, from the brethren, and
considerable ill feeling is likely to be
the upshot of the affair. No statement
of Pastor Van Doren's unorthodox
views have as yet been given to the
public, unless that construction can be
placed upon his reported injunction to
the society, to the effect that he hoped
he would receive his salary weekly, as
he desired to pay his own debts prompt-
ly. It is not to be assumed, however,
that this frank utterance is considered
a suliicient ground for a charge of
heresy in Norwalk—New Haven Pal-
ladium.

Spain’s Greatest Need.

Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelona,
Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S.
C. .VVeak nerves had caused severe
pains in the back of his head. On
using Electric Bitters, America’s
greatest Blood and Nerve Remedy, all
pain soon left him. He says this grand
medicine is what his ecuntry needs.
All America knows that it cures liver
and kidney trouble, purifies the blood,’

CAPTURED couN'rER'Fisl‘Té‘Rs,

Planned to Float $10,000,000 \Vorih
of Bogus Money.

YVASHINGTON, April 21— Secret
service men have given out the details
of the plans of the band of counterfeit-
ers captured in Philadelphia and Lan—
caster, Pa., this week. Had their scheme
been successful they Would have put
$10,000,000 worth of bogus bills into cir-
culation.

These notes were to be printed in $20,
on paper
prepared by the hand. Then a trusted
official in the subtreasury in Philadel-
phia was to be bribed to take the entire
issue and give good bills in return.
After that the government itself was to
float the counterfeits. The work done
on the captured plates would have in-
sured the success of this scheme.

 

New Treaty \Vitll Mexico.

WASHINGTON, April 22.—The presi—
dent will in a few days issue a procla-
mation giving effect to the new extra-
dition treaty between the United States
and Mexico, President Diaz taking sim-
ilar action in Mexico. The Mexican em-
bassy has been advised that the treaty
was ratified by the Mexican senate on
April 12 last and already has been rat-
ified by the United States senate, so
that it Will become effective as soon as
proclaimed by the presidents of the two
countries.

Henry’s Retirement Regretted.

SAN JUAN, Porthico, April 22.——The
recall of General (fly V. Henry to the
United States is regarded regretfully
here. He says he was obliged to ask for
relief on" account of poor health and
that he feared to stay here throughout
the summer. The general knows Briga-
dier General George W. Davis, his suc-
cessor, and congratulates the people of
Porto Rico upon having such a capable
governor. He says General Davis is bet-
ter fitted than he to govern Porto Rico.

 

Hobart Will Retire.

WASHINGTON, April 22.—Viee Pres-
Ident Hobart has decided that he will
not be a candidate for re-election, as
his health is not sufficiently good to
justify his continuance in politics. It
is even doubtful if he will be able to
perform his duties next winter as pre-
siding officer or the senate. His trouble
is a. weak heart.

 

Fined For Beating a Sailor.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.—Captain
John Dillon of the government trans-
port Morgan City has been found guilty
of cruelly beating a sailor on the high
seas and fined $350. Dillon almost kill-
‘ed a drunken sailor who struck him.
First Payment on the Maine.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-—'1’he...navy

DESULTORY FIGHTING.

Filipinos Active Né'ar Mulolol—Heal
at Manila. Intense.

MANILA, April 22.—At 6 o’clock yes-
terday morning three companies of the
South Dakota regiment marched from
Bocave and, in conjunction with three
companies of the Minnesota. regiment
from Guiguinto, north of Bocave, en.
countei‘bd a. rebel force numbering- fully
500 men when two miles out.

The enemy retired'three miles in fair-
ly good order, in spite of the fact that
they suffered heavy losses. ,

The Americans, having exhausted
their ammunition, were compelled to
return to their camps.

The heat is intense. At noon the
thermometer registered 95 degrees, and
the mercury was still rising. There
were several prostrations from the heat
among the troops, but only one man
was wounded.

Later the army tugs opened fire on
the enemy along the river banks.

The rebels are unusually active west
of Maldlos as far as Calumpit. They
have been busily at work on their
trenches, and several new trenches
have been discovered within two miles
of the railroad. ,Fires are burning east
of the railroad, and it would appear
that the rebels are evacuating the foot-
hill towns in anticipation of an attack
upon the part of the American troops.

 

Cowards if We Retire.

LONDON, _April 22.—The Saturday
Review, commenting upon General
Lawton’s retirement from the Santa
Cruz district of Laguna de Bay, says:
"Unpatriotic politicians in the United
States are doing their utmost to create
a panic in the hope that the Philippines
may be abandoned and the party in
power discredited. It is an ignoble
game, and we sincerely trust it will be
unsuccessful. If the Americans retire
from their self appointed task, the great
republic must take the brand of ‘cow—
ard’ as well as the brand of ‘Cain’ with
which Lowell declared it to be marked.”

 

THE' BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Everything Appears Favorable—A
Lull In the Iron Trade.

NEW YORK, April 22.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says:

Nothing appears in business or in
money markets to prevent continuance
of the heaviest trade ever transacted at
good profits. The payment to Spain is
supposed to have caused‘some rise in
foreign exchange, which would amount
to nothing in any case, as balances due
from other countries more than cover
the payment and advance bills against
crops to come forward in July and later
will soon be offered.

Wheat receipts have been 7,511,343
bushels against 5,206,643 last year in
three weeks of April, and the improve-
ment since April 1 is worthy of no-
tice. Exports have fallen off, amount—
ing from both coasts to only 6,774,774
bushels, flour included, in three weeks
agalnst 10,919,122 last year, and the
price closes but half a cent higher than
last week.

Nothing but industrial depression is
left to excite apprehension, but the in—
dustries are meeting something very’
unlike depression. .The kind of “lull"
that appears in the iron market rejoices
manufacturers because they are crowd-
ed far ahead with orders.

' Men who have held wool stiffly for,
more than a year are selling freely at'
bottom prices, admittedly the lowest of
the year. Salesat the chief markets in
two weeks have been 23,204,285 pounds.
of which 17,937,585 were domestic, against

 

vanced an eighth, but experts are small.“
Failures for the week have been 184 in

the United States against 204 last year

and 22 in Canada against 29 last year,
