GOOD EVENING. The old game of crowding into the end seat in the open car has begun. A copper trust is the latest, and nat- urally enough its projectors expect to make a pretty penny out of it. It would-seem that we are approach- ’ing a solution of the fly-time problem. Michigan reports the birth of a calf with two tails. A man will do a. lot of talking in fav- or of the down-trodden sex, and then be sulky for ten days if his first baby . happens to be a girl. ' Hon. Joe Blackburn told a Kentucky jury the other day that a graveyard is as dark as hell. Has Joe exclusive in- formation ofa shortage of fuel in the latter-named place. f3. Norwalk may justly boast the best Street car service in the country. We have smooth tracks, clean, vehicles the possibilities of rapid transit, and, in a general way, attentive and intelligent service. One is not surprised that the pho- tographers’ busy season is during the autumn and winter, for summer time takes the curl out of women’s hair and puts kinks in her tempers, a combina- tion which isnot conducive of a flatter- ing likeness. One of the German papers says Kaiser Willie characterized what _Coghlan said at the Union League Club as “aussfluss der weinlaune.” That’s sim- ply awful. If Coghlan actually was guilty of it, there seems no way of get- ting round a crisis. A Constant Reader wants to know something about the pronunciation of the German word “hoch.” He has an idea that it is called “hock.” This leads him to ask if “Hock der Kaiser” The Constant Reader has an ingenious im- doesn’t mean to put him in pawn. agination. But he doesn’t get the pro- nunciation right, and this distorts the meaning. If he will say “hoch” as if he had a hair on his palate he will just about get it. Come now, altogether “hoch!” ’ In a home out in the country, not far from town, we are informed, there may be seen quite a pile of sewing lying on the floor, nearly in the middle of the room, that has been lying there undis- turbed for more than six months. At that time the head of the house wanted a chair, and seeing but one handy he dumped to the floor the sewing which lay upon it. it up. He said he wouldn’t do it. His wife asked him to pick She told him as he threw it there it could remain until he got ready to pick it up. And there it remains, a memorial to an incom pati- bility of disposition. She would never touch it. It will require a good many years for Maine to build up two such reputations in Congress as she has lest there this year by the death of Mr. Dingley and the retirement of Mr. Reed. She made for herself the reputation she had, first, by selecting the ablest men at her com- mand for public service, and next by keeping them there. No State in the Union of her size has equalled her in the ability for its delegation in the National House of Representatives in this generation. When it is remember- ed that she had Mr. James G. Blaine in that body also not so very long ago, her superiority is yet more striking. She has thus furnished two Speakers of the House and one candidate for the Presidency. Her past, in the language of Mr. Webster, is secure. It may be added that her future is much in her own hands. —--—‘o -0 Thai Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.

From rise to fall of curtain in “The Real Widow Brown ” the jolly musical comedy success, which Will be seen at Hoyt’s Theatre, South Norwalk, next Friday evening, there is not one dull moment. The entertainment is bright, and lively and consists of everything that is late and popular in the line of music, dances and specialties. It is just the sort of\ high class merriment Which never fails to drive away dull care. The melodies are tuneful and sweetly rendered, while the fun is of a cleverhnd refined order. “The Real Widow Brown is scoring a substantial success on the road. ‘ The Head of the Family. The play from which “The Head of the Family” was taken has for some- thing over twenty years been an ex- ceedingly popular comedy in Germany. This fact has led a number of people to wonder since Mr. Crane produced it ‘why none of our bright adapters never discovered it until so late a day. They did discover it and Mr. Crane has heard of six- commendable adaptations of the play which went the rounds of managers’ ofi‘ices in New York and were rejected because the men of sense and money could see nothing in them_ Just how good “The Head of the Fami 1y” is the public will have an oppor- tunity of discovering on Friday, when the comedian is to present it with its original cast and fine settings at Hoyt’s Theatre. . ' Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,Ill., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her fam- ily physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine co‘uld cure her. Her druggist suggest— ed Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumptiOn; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted f. om first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found her- self somewhat well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at John A. Riggs’ drug store, 11 Main street. Only 500 and $1.00; every bottle guaranteed. ' ‘ Henry Shields, prescription clerk in Plaisted’s drug store, is laid up with a sliver in his foot. He is attended by Dr. J. T. Kennedy. On the evening of the 14th of May the 10th anniversary of the organization of the general Epworth League will be appropriately celebrated. David Trounson of Cove street has left for Thousand Islands where he will start on a cruise on a yacht of which he is an engineer. \I ,' “"‘ . I I ‘h . ~. _ " 1|- _ .
