Dizziness, Nausea, Drowsiness. Distress after

eating; Pain in the Side, Arc. While their most
remarkable success has been shown in curing

SICK ‘

Headache, yet Carter’s Little Liver Pills are
equally valuable in Constipation, curing and pre-
venting this annoying complaint,whilc they also
correct all disorders of the s tomach,stimulate the
liver and regulate the bowels. Even if they only

cured H EA ED

Ache they would be almost priceless to those who
suffer from this distressing complaint; but fortu-
nately their goodness does notend here,and those
who once try them will find these little pills valu-
able in so many ways that they will not be wil-
ling to do without them. But after all sick head

At the annua meeting of the Reform
School trustees, held in Meriden, the old
board of trustees was re-elected. Super-
intendcnt Howe read a report asking for
a new cottage for boys of tender age, in
order that they will not have to associate
with the older, hardened and more vicious
inmates, and also that he be allowed $2.75
for board, instead of $2.50.

“The Perils and Romance of Whaling’,
is the title of an article by Gustav Kobbe,
to be published in the Midsummer (Aug—
ust) Century. It is composed largely of
anecdotes of whaling experiences, much
of the material for the article having been
gathered from log books, old newspapers,
and records in the possession of F. C. San-
ford of Nantucket. It is illustrated by
three full-page engravings and a number
of smaller pictures.

Colonel Samuel A. Moore of New Brit-
ain has in his possession the sword of
Colonel John Fite, which was surrendered
to him at the battle of Gettysburg :and
which he wishes to return to its owner as
a token of good will. A letter written to
the Nashville Daily American, inquiring
for such an officer drew forth the follow-
ing from that journal: “Neither Judge
Fite nor his friends have any doubt that
he is the person sought in the letter and
will at once write to 001. Moore.”

Alfred E. Moore, of Winsted, died on
Tuesday last, of Bright’s disease, at the
age of 32 years. He was one of the best
known men of his town and was very
popular. He was a member of the Nep-
tune Club and was highly esteemed by all
his fellow members. He had achieved a
wide reputation as a balloonist and had
written extensively on the subject of
aeronautics. He was an ex-captain of
Company I, Fourth regiment, and was a
prominent Mason. He left a wife, four
children andan estate valued at not far
from $100,000.

One day last week the~valvc of an
engine gong whistle could not be closed,
in spite of the best yanking of the cord
by the engineer. The whistle began to
sound somewhere near Sound Beach, and
the terrible shriek kept on all through
Stamford, Glenbrook and Norotou, and
beyond as far as could be heard in Stam-
ford. People all along the line rushed to
the track to find out what the dickens was
the matter, or how many had been killed
and wounded. The "train didn’t stop at
Stamford, but when it did stop, probably
at Bridgeport, no doubt the engineer
crammed his hat down the whistle’s throat
or shut her off in some way—Herald.

The Danbury News says: Arrangements
have been made between the Consolidated

and llousatonic roads for an improve—
mentin the train service. The express

_ train, which arrives at South Norwalk at

12:56, will wait for the 12:05 train from
Danbury, which is due at 1:05 and pas.
sengers will reach New York shortly after
2 o’clock instead of being obliged to travel
on a slow train as at present. The time
table on the Danbury and Norwalk will be
changed shortly to conform to this new
arrangement.

Henry A. Bishop, the purchasing agent
of the Consolidated road, denies the re—
port that he was to receive the appoint-
ment of superintendent. of the New York
division. “That originated in the imagin-
ation of 9. Tribune reporter, who must
have been asleep for the past year, and
when he awoke found an old paper con-
taining a notice of the death of Superin—
tendent Turner,” said Mr. Bishop. “He
does not seem to know that Mr. Shepard
has succeeded Superintendent Turner.
The report is ridiculous and wholly with—
out foundation.”

The prosperity of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford is the argument now
brought forward to substantiate the theory
that a parallel road would pay. The
prosperity of the New York Central was
the apology for the construction of the
New York, West Shore and Buffalo,
capitalized for $110,000,0000, but which
as re—organized pays 4 per cent. on $25,-
000,000. Here are cold facts which must
stare in the face any projector of a road
parallel to the New Haven, but which
nevertheless may not in the least discon-
cert some bold financiers who hope to
drop a property into the New Haven’s
maw at 50 cents on the dollar and make
money by the transaction. Consolidation
is the order of the day. So build a paral-
lel and let destiny do the rest.—Oape God
in Boston Post.

Dr. Louis Bell says that that the electric
express train of the near future will
in all probability contain one or more
powerful motors on the axis of its drivers,
and aggregating perhaps 1,000 horse-
power as a normal output. It will be
lighted and heated by electricity. The
track over which it Will run will be
straight and smooth, like the great English
trunk lines of to—day. The train will
start smoothly into motion, fly along the
track at the rate of 100 miles an hour or
more and stop quickly and easily by
applying its electric brakes. Au auto—
matic block system will be used that will
secure perfect control of the trains and
almost absolute immunity from collisions.

The golden rod won the contest in
the schools of New York state for an em—
blematic flower. The vote was as follows:
Golden rod, 81,308; rose, 79,666 ; daisy, 33,—
603; violet, 31,176; pansy,2l,202; lily, 16,—
438; lily of the valey, 11,626; trailing
arbutus,7,888 ; buttercup, 6,127 ; scattering,
29,045; total, 318,079. The golden rod was
the favorite in the cities, the country chil—
dren mostly voting for the roseland pansy.
It Will be noted that the daisy stood third
in the contest, and the New Haven Register
has no doubt that if the daisy’s campaign
had been properly conducted it. would have
stood at the top, but its claims uporf pop—
ular favor were not properly pus ied. Could
the handsome editor of the Register have
taken the stump in behalf of the daisy in
"'ie flower campaign in the Empire state we
are sure that at least every school girl’s
ballot would have been cast for his and the
Journal’s favorite.—— Wilhmantz’c Journal.

In view of the predilection of the Joan'—
nal’s editor, it is a matter of some surprise
that his favorite flower is not the pie plant.

In every town where Savena is introduced the
sale is larger than all other washing compounds.

 

 

Is it a Big Bubble P

The NewYork Herald of last Saturday
gave 'an exhaustive expose of “The Go-
Operative Building Bank,” of that city, a
pretentious institution with an “authoriz-
ed capital" of $100,000,000, and only $40
in the treasury. The expose was made
after an action was brought and judgment
obtained by a carpenter, who sued to re-
cover $85 for an office desk which he
built for the “Bank.” The president of
the institution is one'James N. Walter,
and its board of directors, as named in its
prospectus, is made up of prominent and
influential men well known in the finan
cial and political world. “It is doubtful,
however,” says the Herald, “if any of the
members of the board of directors, are
fully aware of the nature of the corpora—
tion to which they lend their influence.“
Among the names mentioned are the fol-
lowing:

“James W. Hyatt, Norwalk, Conn..
president of the Fairfield County National

Bank, late Treasurer of the United States.
“John H. Lee, Mayor of Norwalk,

Conn.

“Charles N. Heinz, secretary and treas-
urer Excelsior Steam Power Company,
New York.

“John D. Kimmey, director of the
filmi‘ican Loan and Trust Company, New

or .

“P. C. Lounsbury, president Merchants’
Exchange National Bank, ex-governor of
Connecticut.”

It is also said that the directors mention—
ed rarely if ever attend a directors’ meet——
ing, leaving the management of the com-
pany’s affairs to the president and to
Director Wilbur M. Bates, who are the
leading spirits of the institution, and it is
likely that the influential members of the
board are placed there simply for the
weight of their names.

The company is said to have an interest-
ing history. “All that. is necessary to
organize a company of the magnitude of
$100,000,000 authorized capital under the
Building and Loan act of 1851 is to give
formal notice of such intention and file
the same with the county clerk. The
notice was drawn up and the old board of
directors held one meeting only, at which
time Mr. Doyle became suspicious and
decided to withdraw from the scheme.
This he did, taking with him six members
of the board who were friends of his and
who had also grown suspicious. Mr.
Doyle gave notice that the ‘Bank.’ so far
as he was concerned, was a thing of the
past, and requested that Mr. Walter dis-
organize the institution. Mr. Walter, he
says, agreed to do so, but so far as is now
known never fulfilled his promise. The
main reason for Mr. Doyle’s lack of confi-
dencc,was due to the fact that an investi-
gation made by him in the county clerk’s
office failed to discover the record that
should have been there.”

The rapidly increasing business of the
Housatouic road necessitates the addition
of ten new locomotives, which Col.
Stevenson has ordered from Paterson.
Four of them will be heavy mogul engines
for freight business, with six drivers, and
six passenger engines. Thirty new pas—
sengers coaches and parlor cars have also
been ordered for use on the main line and
branches.

This is the way that wicked N. Y. Sun
seeks to stab our president :—

“One of Harrison’s most liberal and
zealous supporters in Indiana was United
States Treasurer Hucston. He desired to
be a member of Harrison’s Cabinet, but
the President ignored the claim and urged
him to accept the office of Treasurer of
the United States. Hucston had an idea
that the post was one of great power and
influence, and he accepted. IIe, however,
was not long in discovering that the
Treasurer of the United States is a mere
clerk, and that he could control but one
appointment, that of his private secre-
tary.”

 

Anew swindle is being carried on in
Stamford by means of a double fountain
pen, one end of which is filled with good
substantial ink, the other with ink that
fades away in a clay or two. The sharper
writes his agreement, contract, or what-
ever particular lay he may have chosen,
with the ink that fades, and his victim
signs with the other end of the pen in the
ink that lasts. In a few day he hasa
slip of paper with nothing on it buta
good Signature over which he writes any
sort of a note that he can most easily turn
into cash.

Tuesday evening’s Farmer published
an article which told how a poor old man
was paraded through our Main street
by some jay country constable. This jay
had his prisoner handcuffed in front of
him and the poor man looked as though
he felt the humiliation which he was sub-
jected to by the jay who was bringing
him to the jail. As the town pays all
expenses legitimately incurred in such
matters, they should also force such jay
country constables as this one to ride their
prisoners to the jail and not parade them
through the streets simply to show their
importance to the public—Bridgeport Sun

Hon P. T. Barnum and his wife have
for a week been doing the Sound as guests
of Dr. Warner, on the latter’s big steam
yacht“Venture.” Mr. Barnum isinfatu-
ated with the sport, and says that if his
health is as good next summer as it is this
season he will have a vessel big enough to
carry all his friends on a grand excursion.
It will taken. bigger boat than has yet
been built to do this, but if the veteran
showman does have a bout it will be fast
and elegant.

Dr. Eugene E. Falkner of Bridgeport,
was instantly killed at the North Haven
crossing of the Housatonic road Thursday
while on his way to visit a patient. The
crossing is unprotected and not hearing
the train, he attempted to cross. He was
carried about 200 feet in front of the en—
gine and thrown beside the track. His
skull was fractured and beth legs and
arms broken. He leaves a wife and five
children, who were then at their cottage
in the Adirondacks.

There will be a special meeting of the
Board of Trade, Thursday evening, to take
some action for disposing of the cash in the
treasury, for the improvement of village
sidewalks where they most need it.

Mr.» John Hubbell is still in a state of
great physical weakness. His mind, how-
ever, is serene, and on Friday evening last
he made, signed and executed his will.

Mr. W. R. Macready is more than pleased
with his steam yacht, Nadjy, and is wonder-
ing now that he knows how much superior
steam in a pleasure boat is to wind, that he
has so lougadhered to the idea that a sail-
boat alone could secure a man’s pleasure.
With the one he had to wait for proper
conditions of wind and tide to go anywhere.
Now he starts when he is ready and goes
straight to his destination, wind or no wind.
The Nadjy will winter near Sherwood’s
mill. '

Mr. Alexis S. Downes is painting and
otherwise improving the fine homestead
lately belonging to his father, and has
decided to occupy it permanently withEhis
wife.

The steamer Sarah Thorpe brought a
monstrous freight from New York last
week. A large proportion of it was for the
new starch works, consisting of material
and appliances for starch manufacturing.
Work will begin there in a few days. The
100 horse power steam engine was started a
day or two ago, the hell on the tower above
the factory is rung regularly three times
each day, and things begin to look like
prosecuting a lively business.

Henry S. Pratt, a graduate of Yale, and
lately principal of the High School in
Meriden, has written to Mr. Horace Staples
accepting the principalship of the Staples‘
High School, vacated by Mr. J. C. Stearnes.

The sharpie, Blanche, built by Mr.
Herbert B. Nash and launched on Thursday
last, made her first trip down the river to

prospective objects of catching clams, black-
fish and horse feet.

Mr. Edward Andrews, of Waterlown, N.
Y., formerly of this place, has been visiting
his old home.

Joseph Dunnigeri is looking for a valuable
shepherd dog which has strayed.

New onions are being shipped, the
steamer Thorpe taking a fair installment
last week.

The Cedar Point Yacht club have receiv-
ed from the New York Yacht Racing asso-
ciation an acceptance of their invitation to
visit this harbor July 30th, and take part
in a regatta to be sailed over the club’s
course that day. The Club has appropri-
ated $150 of its money, and members say if
more is needed they will supply it, to enter-
tain the visitors, and have appointed P. G.
Sanford, Edwin Thorne, Landon Ketchum,
and Mr. Jennings, of Southport, an enter-
tainment committee. The occasion will be
an eventtof great importance as it will
bring here from 75 to 80 yachts. The Club
has chartered the steamer Bond-Currier, of
Bridgeport, for the race judges and invited
guests, and it is expected not only every
boat belonging to the Club, but many from
Bridgeport, Norwalk and Soulhport will be

Farms church will hold a fair and enter-
tainmeht on Mr. Austin Jennings’ premises

proceeds will be for the benefit of the
church.

mnn, at the Farms.

It is likely Mr. LeGrand B. Cannon will
attend the meet of the American Canoe

Association to he held in August at Piconic
bay, near Shelter Island.

The remains of a ten months old child of
Mr. Frederick H. Twing, were taken Friday
to New York by Undertaker Charles Fable.
