MONDAY, APRIL 24,1899.
GOOD EVENING.
Open cars were much in evidence on
both trolley v'lines yesterday.
From the number of boats being put
‘in readinessfor the summer, yachting
will havera big boom this year.
The Tramway company’s tracks were
covered with trolley grease on Satur-‘
.day much to the disgust of Wheelmen.
From the number of drunken men
seen on the streets in South Norwalk
yesterday some one was doing a good
Sunday trade. Chief Vollmer had his
eye on the suspects and trouble is in
store for them if they continue.
A meeting of the officers of the
Fourth regiment has been called to
meet on Thursday next, to elect a Col-
one] to succeed Col. Sheriden, resigned,
of Bridgeport. Lieut-Col. ,Hendrie of
Stamford is next in line of promotion
and should be advanced to the position.
There is not an officer in the regiment
better qualified for the position than
Col. Hendrie, and his election would be
a great compliment toa good soldier
and agentleman. Then, again, Stam-
ford although having one of the best
companies in the regiment for a num-
ber of years, has never been compli-
mented by the election of azcommand-
'ing officer from that city. By all
means let Col. Hendrie be elected. 4

Could not express the rapture of
Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard St.,
Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption had completely cured her of
a backing cough that for many years
' had made life a burden. All other
medicines and dectors could give her
no help, but she says of this Royal
Cure—"it soon removed the pain in
my chest and I can now sleep soundly,
something I can scarcely remember
doing before.

Discovery for any tron ble of the Throat,

THE OTHER FELLOWS.
New Haven is as remarkable for its
politics as'for its elms: and. both are
shady.-Hartford Courant.
' Tammany will come up smiling at
the proper time, and will be in line "
with the Democracy in 1900, and the
party will be in possession of a much
purer brand of harmony than the ten-
dollar dinner could have brought obout.
——New Haven Union.
A German concern is manufacturing
abeer tablet. One little tablet drop-
ped into a glass of fresh water will turn
intobeer as fresh as if just drawn.
This providential blessing, to make
every beer drinkers his own brewer
and bartender, ought to boom the
cause of intemperance materially.—
New Haven Palladium.
In conclusion, it ‘will be seen that
there are dinners and dinners; dinners
where congenial spirits get together
for the fun of the thing, and regardless
. of the cost: and dinners where serious
. and patriotic men gather together to
discuss the interests of the people, the
future of their country, and the
prospects of their party—New Haven
Union.
During the Bryan campaign afree
silver bank was started in Warrens-
burg, Mo. Last week, the gold-bug
bank of the same. place took over
what few assets the rival bank .had
left. The farmers who voted for free
silver were. afraid to put their money
in an institution conducted after their
pet~ financial theories.—Bridgeport
Post. '
Farmer Tarr is all right and when he
cuts himself loose from all earthly ties
and goes up into that little cage on
top of the insurance building the weath-
er just gets ready to do business. He
was in that cage, yesterday morning.
Witness the result. He will not go in
everyday, but when he does you can‘
wear your new spring trousers.-—New
Haven Leader.

There can’t be much said about the
‘bad times in the west when the state of
Iowa is out of debt and going to. cele-
brate the wonderful achievement by a
grand feast on the occasion. There is
something that will not be acceptable
to the advocates of cheap money, for it
is proved that the country is getting
better instead of worse under a regime
that has gold for the basis, how is the
argument that gold is maker of poverty
going to stand ?——New London Tele-
graph.
Spain’s Greatest Need.
Mr. R. P. Oliyia, of Barcelona,
Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S.
C. Weak 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 country needs.

and kidney trouble, purifies the blood,

ABofiT KNOBIIRS.
Those Carried on Merchant Vessels
Painted—Galvanized An-
chors on Yachts.
Ships’ anchors cost from five to seven.
cents a pound, so that a 6,000-pound
anchor, which would be a very large
one, would cost, even at the lowest
“price, about $300; and the big ship that
required! an anchor of that size would
carry two of them. The two big an-
:chors carried by .a ship of, say 2,000
,tons would weigh from 4,800 to 5,000 '
pounds each, says the New York Sun.
The anchors of merchant vessels are
painted or tarred. Whenever the. ves—
sel is painted the anchors are painted
also, to preserve them from rust. But
on yachts and various smaller pleasure
craft galvanized anchors are used,
which, of course, do not require paint-
ing. Galvanized iron anchorsliave been
made for torpedo boats in the navy,
but, generally speaking, their use is
confined to pleasure craft. A galvan-
ized anchor cost nearly as much again
as one'not galvanized. “
The galvanizing preserves the anchor
from rusting and makes the anchor
more sightly in appearance, and it pre-
vents the anchor from dripping rifity
water and so staining and marring
decks, or other surfaces with which it
mightcome in contact. Anchors weigh-
ing 1,400 pounds have been galvanized,
such anchors being for‘very large steam
yachts; anchors are galvanized in vari-
ous sizes from that:dovvn to the very
small anchors used for sailboats and
small yachts. 'Of small galvanized an—
.chors many are sold.
Relative Importance of Letters.
To those who have never considered
the subject it might appear that each
letter is of equal importance in the
formation of words, but the relative
proportions required in the English lan—
guage are these: A, 85; b, 16; c, 30; (l.
44; e, 120; f, 25; g, 17; h, 64‘; i, 80; j,4,
k, 8; l, 40; m, 30; n, 80; o, 80; p, 17; q.
5; r, 62; s, ‘80; t, 90; u, 34; v, 12; w, 20;
x, 4-; y, 20; z, 2. It is this knowledge
of how frequently one letter is used
compared with others that enables
crpytogram readers to unravel So many
mysteries. ‘
Chinese Detectives.
The Chinese detective force is a se-
cret body, and the best organized in the
world. They have an eye upon every
man, woman or child, foreign or na-
tive, in China, and, in addition, watch

wBMEN'iN ADVEETISING.
A Line of Business That Many of
Them Seem to He Just Fit-
ted For.
Woman, it has been demonstrated,
knows how to Whoop things up in the
advertising line. She is a success in al-
most every branch of the business, and
:is beginning to find out that a great deal
pf money is to be made in this field.
Where there was one woman engaged
in the work ten years ago ten are to
‘be found to-day, declares the New York
Sun.’
A man who knows as much about the
advertising business as any other in
the. city, said, when questioned about
the women in the business: “My ex-
perience has been that woman is a suc-
cess in every line of advertising which
she has attempted to follow. She is
an excellent solicitor, much better in
certain departments than men, she
knows how to write so as to appeal to
women better than men do, and she
;knom how to illustrate advertisements
or to have them illustrated just so they
will catch the eye of women. I’ve tried
any number of men in the religious de-
partment, and they’ve failed. I say to
a man: ‘We ought to have a great many
more religious notices in such and such
a paper,’ and he comes back and says
that the persons won’t see him.‘ No
'woman solicitor ever returns with such
a story of failure. To my certain knowl-
edge one of the fincst'nd‘v'ertisingspe-
cidistl in Greater New York is I
woman." »
WOMEN OUTLIVE MEN
bluervntions of Professor Buchnés
Show Many More Female Cen-
tenurlans Than Males.
It is strange but true that the most
delicate child often outlive-s his
stronger'brother or sister. Many in-
stances are on record of the long sur-
vival- of those. who see 'ed destined to
the early. It is said .0_ _ 'oltaire, who
lived to be 84 years old, that he was
so delicate at birth he could not be
‘baptized for several months. Sir Isaac
Newton, the doctors said, would’ not
{live a week, but he celebrated his
eighty-fifth birthday. Fontenelle lived
to be 100, although he was so frail at
birth that the priest had to go to his
home to baptize him. ’
Evcnmore interesting the nihisis the
statement by Prof. Buchner that it is
possible for a. woman to. preserve her
youthful beauty even to her old age,
or, in some instances, to regain it. The
Im‘arq'nise of Mirabeau died at 86 with
all the. marks of youth in her face.
Margaret ‘Verdurn at 65 smoothed out
the wrinkles, her hair grew again and
her third set of teeth appeared. Cases
of this third dentition are not rare.
The'professor has still further hope
for the ,fair sex in the announcement
Piliat women live longer than men. Our
.Fre-nch woman, Marie Prioux, who died
in 1838, was said to be 158 years old.
Statistics of the various countries on
"this point are remarkable. In Germany
only 413 «of 1,000 males reach the age
of 50, while more than 500 of 1,000 fe-
males reach that age. In the United
States there are 2,583 female to 1,398
male centenari'ans. In France, of ten
centenarians seven were women and
only three men. In the. rest of Europe,
of 21 centenarians 16 were women. I
The oldest person now living is held
to be Annie Armstrong, who is 117
yea-rs old, and lives in. a. little town in
County Clare, Ireland.
