Eaton, that George S. Wildman, the proprietor of la. butter and tea store at Bridgeport, was selling the imitation. without (lis- playing the proper s1gns in conformity with the law, and that the sales were made principally from a wagon, which he sent out from the neighboring towns. He was caught in the act last week. Monday officer Farnan arrested him. He was released on bonds of 3550. ———-—————~- ~-— . o-v - Fire in Branford. I The Swedish church in Branford was totally destroyed by fire early last Monday. The fire broke out at a quar- ter to six o’clOck and spread rapidly. There being no means of fighting them, the flames burned without interruption and soon the edifice was wholly envel- Oped. ' Thousands of people gathered. There were houses near by but they were in no danger, owing to the direc- tion in which the wind was blowing. The damage amounted to $5,555. The church was insured for $4,000. Rev. Mr. Jacobson, pastor of the St. John Street Swedish Lutheran church, was the pastor. of this church also. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a defective fine or an over-heated fur- nace. —-—‘* Didn’t Want to be Carved. William Long, a negro, was arrested in Chicago last Thursday night. Two hours afterwards the turnkey found him hanging by his suspenders appar- ently dead. Long was out down by the police and pronounced dead. By order of the Reese hospital physicians Long’s body was carried into the dis- secting room. “This would be a good subject to work on, boys,” said the surgeon. “I’ve been looking for a nigger for some time.” “He seems too big for the table,” said another; “I think I’ll cut him in two and place half of him in the other room.” At these words the supposed corpse jumped from the table and jumped out of the window. The police. after a chase, captured Williams and carried him back to a cell. ‘v' The Lost Found. Last Saturday the boy who ties up the Sentinel’s Norwalk bundle of papers placed two envelopes containing the weekly pay of W. A. Tolles and E. J. Thomas between the folds of a paper and carried the bundle to the horse-car. On their arrival up-town, Mr. Thomas not having been notified of the money being inside, gave the papers to John Flaherty, a ,newsboy, to sell. A short time after the boy had gone with the papers, word was telephoned about the money having been sent in the bundle. A search was at once instituted for Flaherty and the papers. He was soon found and, owing to the fact that the Sentinel does not have an extra large sale in Norwalk, he had not sold the paper containing the "envelopes, and the two reporters enjdyed their usual weekly allowance. . AA; . Corsets Wearing Apparel. Judge Wheeler of the United States circuit court has rendered his opinion in the corset case, finding that a corset is an article of wearing apparel. A quantity of cotton corsets were import- ed by Oppenheimer 8: 00., and the col- lector taxed them at 50 per cent. ad valorem, as wearing apparel. The im- porters held that the corsets should be classed as simply cotton fabric and lia- ble to only 4 per cent. duty. An appeal was taken from the board of appraisers, who decided with the collector. Judge \Vheelei‘ affirms the decision of the appraisers. The desision reads as follows : ' “ In this case the question is whether the article known as cotton corsets is properly classified as wearing apparel. In point of fact, it is a ,waist in which are inserted whalebones or steel for the support of the body and clothing. “ If you were to ask anybody who did not care anything about the matter in any way, but who knew whether that wasan article of wearing apparel or not, or whether a mechanical contrivance, I rather think he would say it was a piece of clothing, that it would help to keep the body warm, and answered the purpose of a waist. I think it is cloth- ing. However, I amnot so very con- fident of it. 'I'he‘finding may be con- firmcc .” For the World’s Fair. Gov.

The conductor collected the tickets and at Pelhamville again demanded them. They claimed that they had given the tickets up, but the conductor put them off the train. They proved their inno- cence of evasion of fare, and brought suit against the New Haven railroad company for $1,000. Saturday the case was compromised by the payment of $500. The fare to Mount Vernon is 8 cents. . -..-. »———< -_<.—‘ c y.._._. . W.— .— . V Connecticut and Chicago. Charles R. Brothwell, N: Wheeler and E. G.

The object is to secure by pop- ular subscription the means to enable Connecticut to make at Chicago a proper showing. This money would doubtless have been voted by the Leg- islature but for the complications at Hartford. As no appropriation from that source can be looked for, the peo- ple must take hold of the matter or see this state left out in the cold. ——--———--—1—<o> —————— Shaved Himself in His Sleep. Amos Furlong, of Kingsbridge, has long been known to his neighbors as a somnambulist. He had made an ar- rangement to escort his cousin to church in White Plains, but he. hadn’t shaved in a week, and he knew he would have to arise very early on Sunday morning if he wanted to scrape off the stubble on his chin before starting for White Plains which is a long drive from Kings- bridge. The responsibility worried and made him sleep restlessly. He was up as soon as he thought it was light enough to handle his razor safely, and, looking at his reflection in the glass, he was astounded to find that there was nothing left for him to do. His face was as hairless as a new-laid egg, and his shaving materials, which he ordi- narily keeps locked up, were lying on the table. A mole that had disfigured his chin was gone, and, though blood bedabbled his face, he is quite satisfied with his somnambulistic achievement. Assaulted with a Bottle. Monday afternoon Daniel Hanlon accompanied by Jerry Driscoll drove to South Norwalk from the Borough suburbs just to show how the people who live out of the pale of the city do act when they have more intoxicants than is useful. They drove through the streets of the city at a pell-mell gait, and barely escaped running over several pedestrians. They stopped at a notorious resort on W'ater street, kept by Patrick Corcoran, and here they loaded up with more fire-water. Silas Odell, a man nearly 65 years of age, was in the saloonand without los- ing any time Hanlon picked a quarrel with him. After Odell had left the sa- loon, Hanlon grabbed a soda water bottle from the bar and rushed alter the old man and dealt him a terrible blow square on the nose, causing an ugly and painful wound. Hanlon and Driscoll then got into their carriage and drove towards EastNorwalk. The police were notified of the assault and they in turn notified the N orwalk au- thorities to keep a watch for Hanlon. ”Aboutj7z30 p. 111. Monday, Hanlon and Driscoll drove up in front of a saloon on Main streetand Officer Dann, who was on the lookout for them ar- rested Hanlon. He was taken before Justice John S. Seymour, who accepted 3525 bonds for his appearance in South Norwalk Tuesday. This morning Hanlon appeared before Justice Town- send, who let him go with a paltry fine of $5 and costs. 4‘ VA‘ G. A.

R. which closed yesterday in Danbury, will be handed down also as the“Unan— imous Encampment.” Every candi- date, with the exception of two in the whole list, was elected by a single bal- lot cast by the Ast. Adj. General by unanimous 'consent. In the two in- stances only one ballot was taken, when the one having the highest num- ber of votes was elected unanimously on motion of his opponent. The whole encampment was ch tracterized by the utmost good fellowship. The officers elected were Dept. Commander 13. E. Smith; S. V. Department Commander, Wilbur F. Rogers; J. V. Dept.

Arthur Rice, a comrade who attend- ed the reception Tuesday night. re- ceived word that his house had been burned to the ground, his family bare- ly escaping with their lives. It was proposed yesterday to pass around the hat for his benefit. Frank Millerpf Bridgeport headed the fund with 33100.

IOME VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS BY AN EMINEN'I‘ PHYSICIAN. ‘Clothing and Diet-PMethod of Treat- - merit—What to Take and IVhat Not to Take—Stimulants and Tonnes—What French Doctors Advise. During the prevalence of la grippe the following directions should be fol- lowed, as they will reduce the danger of contracting it to a minimum. Per- sons convalescing from other ail- ments, old persons and children should especially observe them closely. - Warm woolen clothing should be worn next to the skin. A plain, nour- ishing diet shouldibe taken. Mealsshould be eaten with regu- larity. Late hours and crowded places should be avoided. Keep in doors as much as possible. When in the open- air keep in motion; avoid wetting the feet. On entering a house remove wraps at once. Keep away from persons afflicted with the dis- ease. . In a word, avoid exposure and ex- cess;adopt regular habits and. live well. On the first symptoms of the disease send for a physician. Do not attempt to put these direc- tions into practice, either in your own case or that of others, when you are within reach of a competent medical man. I have already said that la. grippe runs a. short course if the system be sufficiently strong to withstand its effects. The following three indica- tions are to be fulfilled: First, means must be taken to as- sist the system to rid itself of the poison to which the attack is due; second, pain is to be relieved; and third, depression is to be counter- acted. The first thing to be done is to relax the bowels, and for this purpose a sin- gle dose of a dessertspOon or tabled spoonful of castor oil is excellent. Some sensitive persons may object strenuously to this remedy, and in such a case one or two compound rhu- barb pil-ls will effect a desirable re- sult. The muscular pains are best re- lieved by three or four powders of phenacetine, combined with $9.10]. Each powder should contain two and a half grains of each drug. Both phenacetine and salol, like antipy- rine, belong to the class of remedies derived from coal tar. All these remedies should be used with great caution, for they are pow- erful depressants and serve to aug- ment the depressing effects of the disease. They relieve the pains of la grippe more rapidly and effectually than any other remedies, but they are .open to‘ this very serious objection. The French physicians recommend a. hot grog of cocoa wine for the pur- pose of causing a mild sweating and to effect stimulation. This grog should be composed of one-third wine and two-thirds water, and should be taken very hot and slightly sweetened. During the entire course of the disease, and throughout the period of convalescence,"stimulants and tonics should be freely administered. Cham- pagne, generous wines, cocoa pre- parations and tonic doses of quinine, iron and strychnine are indicated. ‘ A tablespoonful of a strong milk punch may be given half hourly dur- ing the acute stage, and a tumblerful three or four times daily during the stage of recovery. During this latter period the elixir of iron, quinine and strychnine is as good a tonic as can be used. Cod liver oil is an excellent remedy at this time, or even earlier in the course of the disease, it the stomach can bear it. This remedy, however, is contraindicated when it upsets the stomach. Stimulants and tonics are also indicated in the catarrhal form of the disease, but in this variety we must allay the irrita- tion of the air passages. The ordinary croup kettle furnishes us with an excellent means of accom- plishing this. The receiver of this little instrument should be filled with the compound tincture of benzoin, and the steam charged with this pro- Chloroform lini- ment or camphoratcd oil may be used for the purpose of rubbing the chest, as the mild counter irritation effected by that seems to be beneficial. A car- bonate of ammonia. cough mixture is excellent. It is best administered after the first twenty-four hours of the attack have elapsed. Cough mixtures combining anti- mony, ipecac or other depressing remedies are to _, be strongly con- demned iii the treatment of this disease. Pneumonic grippe is a. more dangerous disease than uncompli- cated pneumonia, and responds less readily to treatment. course very great care must be taken to preserve the strength of the patient. Careful stimulation is indi- cated, and depressing remedies should be avoided as far as possible. Too much stress cannot be laid on this fact in the treatment of la grippe. It is ,also desirable to control theex- cessive sweating that so frequently occurs during the period of convale- scence from the disease. An alcohol and salt rub by a competent massage operator will be found very beneficial to this end. Two or three such rules usuallysuffico to check this depress-' ing and dangerous , symptom—Dr. Cyrus Edson in Babyhood. \anl Pulp In Sweden.
