A CHILDLESS HOME.
Smith and his wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there is' one
thing lacking to their happiness. Both
are fond of children, but no little voices
prattle, no little feet patter in their
beautiful home. “I would give ten
years of my life if I could have one '
healthy, living, child of my own,” Smith
often says to himself. No woman can
be the mother of healthy ofispring un-
less she herself is in good health. If she
suffers from female weakness, general
debility, bearing-down pains and func-
tional derangements, her physical con-
dition is such that she cannot hope to
have healthy children. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a soverign and
guaranteed remedy for all these ailments.
Worn-out, “run-down,” feeble women,
need Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
It builds them up. It’s a powerful, re-
storative tonic, or strength-giver—free
from alcohol and injurious drugs. The
entire system is renewed and invigora-
ted. It improves digestion, enriches the
blood, dispels aches and pains, gives re-
freshing sleep, and restores flesh and
strength. '
It’s the only guaranteed medicine for
women, sold by druggists.
Stamford Celebration.
The $20,000 necessary for the pro-
posed Stamford soldier’s monument
and anniversary celebration is practi-
cally raised. At least there is $18,000
on hand and the place is full of schemes
for getting the rest.

a victim to consumption.

Praises the Newspapers.
The Rev. Madison C. Peters, pastor
of the Bloomingdale Reformed Church,
preceded his sermon last Sunday by an
address on “The Responsibility of
Journalism.” Following are some of
the things he said :
“The most influential factor in our
American life is the newspaper. The
mother dies, the school is only for our
younger days and the church reaches
only a part ‘of the community. The
newspaper reaches everybody. It
comes to us not only as a newsteller,
but as an oracle. It not only reflects
public sentiment, but also shapes it.”
“With but a few exceptions I can
truthfully say the newspapers are daily
preaching sobriety, temperance and
honesty in every department of life,are
brave to denounce wrong-doing in high
and low places, swiftto recognize merit
in public life and defend the oppressed. ”

Church' Extension.
The scarcity of sittings at Grace
church has become so great, that much
trouble and embarrassment is experi-
enced in efforts to accommodate the
unexpected and increasing numbers of
those desiring sittings in this unique
little church. It has now become ap-
parent that some method of enlarging
the seating capacity of the church, is
an immediate and imperative necessity.
The readiest and least expensive plan,
without marring the general architect-
ural plan and appearance of the main
edifice, is thought to be to extend a
one story wing from the central exten-
smn, south-ward on either side out to
the front steps. This Would give room
for about ten additional power .on the
east and west sides .and accommodate
the present pressure. As there were
ut four seats that could be sold, - on
Monday last, those desiring sittings in
excess of that number, were tempora-
rily_accommo_dated, as best they could
be, inpews With-their re lar parish-
ioners. As all are cordial?I
effort has been and Willi'continue to be
made to render their ,‘attondauce no
. onlyrcordial but comfortable. , .

evening, Mr. James Walsh, who resides
on Chestnut street, was riding to South

dy, when his foot caught in the reins,
pitching him head-foremost on to the
ground and pulling the horse around
upon him. He was severely hurt, but
got up and attempted to walk home.
When opposite Dr. Gregory’s, he be-
came insensible and fell to the sidewalk.
He was taken home where he remained
in a semi-conscious condition up to this

ternally hurt and is now in care of Dr.

valid for some time past.

Easter Sunday.
In all our local churches Sunday,
beautiful flowers, joyous music and
exultant sermons .were made special
features in commemoration of the one
great day—The Resurrection of the
Saviour of Blankind—ewhich has given ,
the enduring force and universal ac-
ceptance of Christ’s religion through-
out the world.
R unaway Accident-
John Evans, who is a cook for the
Stephen Hoyts’ Sons gang of men at
their nursery, came to N orwalk Sunday
evening with a hired horse and buggy.
Somewhere on the line of his return
parade, his horse ran away, fired him
out on the ground and left him after
recovering consciousness to wend his .
sorrowful way home on foot. He is
badly "stove up" and Dr. Bronson has
had him braced and bandaged up in
bed ever since, a sadder and wiser man,
though he is unable as yet to give any -
clear and satisfactory elucidation of
the untoward events environing that
sad Sunday night excursion to perilous
Norwalk.
ASllght Fire.
The fire department quickly reSpond-
ed to an alarm of fire from box No. 34
shortly .after 10 O’clock Wednesday.
It was occasioned by a spark from a lo-
comotive on the Housatonic road which
alighted on the roof of the building on
Railroad Place, near Water street, and
occupied by Mrs. M. Delaney, who was
away from home at the time. A line of
hose was laid from Harbor avenue, and
the roof deluged. Previously, John
Ryan and others had gotten the flames
in subjection with pails of water. The
damage, aside from the burning of a
hole in the roof of the building, is no-
minal. Mrs. Delaney, who lives in the
next house, says that the roof of her
house was at first on fire from the same
cause, but that it smouldered out.

Sunol, queen of the trotting turf.
since Robert Bonner purchased her for
$41,000 from Leland Stanford, has low-
ered her record of 2.105, made at three
years, to 2. 084* in her five-year-old form.
This feet was accomplished when the
mare was lame and not able to carry
her phenomenal flight. Soon after she
dethroned Maud S. the California mare
was brought to New York where she
passed the winter at Mr. Bonner’s sta-
ble. This year she is to have another
chance to do something notable, and
Marvin, who developed and drove her
always, is to be her trainer. Sunol is
now at Franklin, Penn. Sunol has
rown during the year, and is much
arger than the average trotter. She
will be taken to the kite track at Mead-
ville as soon as it is opened and be put in

Story of a Pneumatic Tire.
Pin-holes are insignificant in size and
don’t amount to much anyway. But
there are cases where,in sufficient num-
ber, they play the role of Liliputian
darts. A Hartford young man bought
a century Columbia, to fine pneumatic
wheel, which he cherished and prized
dearly. All went well until one fateful
day he went to Wethersfield. He left
the wheel for some time, never think-
ing that harm could come to it, for was
he not far from the city and its wicked
boys, and in the heart of a peaceful
country? Alas for his hopes, he had
occasion to .recall the killing of the
goose that hill the golden eggs. The
little Westerfield chaps had pricked
his pneumatic tire full of pin-holes.
They said at the shop there were at
least thirty of them. The result was
that a new tire had to be bought. The
cost was about fifty centsa hole—Cour-
ant.
