The attention of those who have money
for investment is called to the advertise-
ment of Geo. W. Moore & 00., Hartford,
Conn., in another column. This firm have
hnda large experience in this business,
covering over a quarter of a century. and
owing to the care and watchfiilness they
exercise, no one has ever lost a dollar on
any mortgagefiicgotiatcd by them, which
is very remarkable and speaks well for in.
vcstmeuts of this class, and for the good
judgment of the firm.

quest on tliepart of a host of friends in
Westficld, Mass, where he was a success-
ful practitioner some years ago, to return
and resume his. practice in. his old field in
the Bay State. Dr. Clarke had the confi-‘
deuce of the public in Westfield where
'for ten years he had a large and lucrative
general and surgical practice.
A prominent and popular phase of
Bridgeport yachting activity, is the keen
interest which has been created with
respect to the rival claims for speed of a
number of small sail boats. averaging
about twenty feet in length. In the list of
this class of vessels, the Pearl, the Ameri-
cus, the Professional, the Molly- Pitcher,
and. prospectively, the Rival, have won
much local fame and not afew prizes.
The new jib and mainsail boat, tWenty-
three foot on deck and eighteen foot on
keel, which our townsman, Theodore
Davis, is building, will among her other
achievements of the coming season, pro-
bably measure her speed against some of
Bridgeport’s crack craft, and we expect
the result will show that all the fastest
boats along these shores do not hail from
the county capital.—Stamford Advocate.

Century Mr. Roosevelt gives a graphic and
amusing account of this adventure in his

Pat Cahill, the “tough” who manages
' to spend the greater portion of his time in
jail, was liberated from Bridgeport jail
:last ,Week, came over to Norwalk on
Saturday, got drunk, and paraded tlve
street with a heavy club with which he
evidently intended to kill somebody.

'whcreupon he became boisterous, and
attempted to hit the ofiiccr with his club.
Sheriff Toner, however, quietly got be—
hind him and grabbed his 'ugly weapon,
and instantly Moore grappled with him
and threw him down, and with the help
of the Sheriff, put the handcufison him,
tied his feet together, loaded him into a
wagon, and took him to the lockup. On
Monday J usticc Coolidge bound him over
in the sum of $250 to appear at the Maya
term of the Superior Court. Cahill is said
to be a peaceable and law abiding fellow
when sober, but liquor makes him a

on Thursday, on the invitation of Master
Bridge Builder Frank M. Cogill, under
whose cfilcient supervision the extensive
improvements at that lively shipping point
are being made. As yet only a faint idea
of the magnitude of the work and its final
appearance can be had. There are now
nearly a hundred men employed there,
and others are being hired as rapidly as
they can be secured. Two steam pile
drivers are employed in pounding thous-
ands of ponderbus piles into the harbor to
support the large and heavy dock which
is being extended a distance of
three hundred feet and considerably widen-
ed. A large “bulk head” will run from‘
the corner of the original dock several
hundred feet to the cast and will be filled
in to the shore with gravel and timbers on
which tracks will be built for transferring
cars to the barges for transportation by
water to New York. A portion of this
work will be spanned by iron bridges, and
pontoons are being built for supporting
the outer end, to rise and fall anh the
tide. A dredgcr is constantly at work
digging up the mud to increase the water
depth. The plans of the whole structure,
which were shown by Mr., Cogill, are in—
teresting and give a comprehensive idea
of how the whole will appear when com-
pleted. It is expected that the improve—
lucilts will involve an outlay of about
$125,000.

The Connecticut Lincoln.
It is so seldom that we find anything ap.
.preciative or commendatory concerning a
Connecticut public man in the New York
papers that we print with pleasure the fol-
lowing from the New York' Sun upon Sena-
tor Platt of this state, audit is all the more
remarkable that it is all true, and is just
what the most capable and discriminating of
Senator Platt’s friends have said of him be-
fore. The Sun remarks:
“The Connecticut republicans made no
mistake when they sent 0. H. Plait to the
Senate. There is a- heap of common sense
and practical, every-day ability housed in
his lank. six-feet-two figure. He has grown
and, although he has not yet ‘struck tWelve’
he has already taken his place in the front
rank among tlielhonored. useful and influen-
tial members of the Senate. There is no
dress parade, no fuss or feather, no posing
or speaking for the galleries about Connecti-
cut’s senior senator. Plain, direct, forcible
in debate, he never talks without having
something to say and saying something. In
the committee room he is a worker of work-
ers. When not there or in his seat in the
Senate, he is always at the command of his
constituents. He does more than his share
of that work which wears on a senator with-
out bringing him glory. ' Hundreds of peo-
ple at first sight of this strong faced lo'ng
jointed man from the Land of Steady Habits
have said: Here is a man of the Abra-
ham Lincoln type.’ And that he is built
very much on the Lincoln model not only
in features and figure; but in character and
disposition, is the Verdict of those who know
him well in public and private life.”

entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the

disability of airplanes naturally increases. Many

that fpensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-_

his original declaration. .The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
