Don’t fool around with a pop-gun, nor a “Flint-lock,” when this reliable “Win- chester” 'is within reach! , Dr. Sage’s treatment of Catarrh in the Head is far superior to the ordinary, and when directions are reasonably well followed, results in a permanent cure. Don’t longer be indifferent to the verio fled claims of this unfailing Remedy. The worst forms of Catarrh disap- pear with the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties effect a perfect and permanent cure, no matter how bad the case, or of how long standing. It’s a remedy that succeeds where every- thing else has failed. Thousands of such cases can be pointed out. That’s the reason its makers back their faith in it with money. They offer $500 reward for a case of Catarrh which they can- not cure. It’s a medicine that allows them to take such a risk. Doesn’t common sense lead you to take such a medicine? ‘ “An advertising fake” you say. Funny, isn’t it, ow some people pre- fer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute. Wise men don’t put money back of “fakes.” And “faking” doesn’t pay. The Painters Organize. Over twenty painters met at the home of W. G. Hofman, on Wilton av- enue, last Monday where Mr. Hofman, an organizer in the Federation of La- bor, organized a Union to be known as “The Painters’ and Decorators’ Union cers were elected and another meeting is called for next Monday evening, at No. 62 Belden avenue. The union is well oflicered and the success of the Hofman has the reputation of being an excellent organizer. Admires Elaine’s Finesse. M. Paul Deschanel, who was recently in the United States on a mission from the French government, is an enthusi- astic admirer of Mr. James G. Blaine. In conversation a few days ago, in Par- is, M. Deschanel said that he had in- deed expected to find Mr. Blaine an eminent statesman, but had hardly been prepared to find him a statesman of the extraordinary caliber which he is. “In finnesse,” said M. Deschanel, “Mr. Blaine is the diametric opposite of the old European notion of American po- litical men.” 'He places Mr. Blaine on the first plane of living statesmen. Carrying Money. A western man says men have vari- ous ways of carrying money. Butchers, grocers and bakers carry it in a big crumpled wad. Bankers carry it in nice clean bills, laid at full length in a morocco pocket-book. No banker ever folds a bill. Brokers always fold their bills twice. The young business man carries his money in his vest pock- et, while the sporting man carries it in his trousers pocket. Farmers and drovers carry their money in their in- side vest pocket; and whenever you see a man carry a lot of loose change in his overcoat pocket you may know that he has at some time been a car conduc- tor or a curbstone merchant. News- paper men carry their money in some good bank ; and poets ?——well, poets don’t trouble themselves about such a trivial thing as money. Struck on a New Plan. A new method of disposing of watches has sprung up. When the watch clubs were stopped here as being in violation of the law, those who were carrying on the business looked about for a new scheme in which to carry on the sale of watches and still not violate the law. There.was money in the clubs for the dealers. Now they have struck on a new plan. ‘The payment of one dollar is made each week as usual. Instead of having a drawing each week the members of the club meet and each man bids. The man making the high- est bid carries ofi‘ the watch. This scheme is no violation of the law and thetwatch club men are reaping a har- ves . , ______._-.. .4 *. ._~. _.... -_ Sons of the Revolution- The final meeting of the new board of managers of the Sons of the Revolu- tion was held in the ofiice of the socie- ty’s secretary, Lucius F. Robinson, in Hartford Monday. President Jonathan Trumbull, of Norwich, presided at the meeting.’ The society voted to observe American flag, on J une 14, by a visit to the Putnam camp ground, in Bedding, and to invite all members of the his- torical secieties in the state and their families to take part in the celebration. Hon. E. J. Hill of Norwalk, Judge Ru- fus S. Pickett and H. L. Hotchkiss of New Haven, were appointed a commit- tee‘to arrange for the occasion. The society also voted to procure a design for a suitable tablet, to be erected in the Trumbull war office at Lebanon. important Business Change. The business for the sale of doors, sash, blinds and mantels, mill work, etc., which was started by Anton Stom- mell on Water, street, has been disposed of to’ the Derby Building and Lumber Co., of Bridgeport, and an account of the stock is nearly completed. The ma- terial will be removed to the firm’s place of business in Bridgeport, be- tween now and the first of next month,. at which time the store will be vacated by the present lessees.

The Hartford Young Ladies Semi- nary is to have a reunion of the gradu- ates and pupils of that ancient and justly famed institution of learning. A social gathering of all in any way ever connected with the school, literary exercises, reminiscences of the school, etc.. are to be given in the old Semi- nary on Pratt street, now Good Will Building. This was one of the first schools for the higher education of youngladies started in this country, and several grandmothers, who were girl pupils there under the tuition of Miss Catharine Beecher in 1829, are ex-' pected to be present and grace the occa- sion with their silvery locks and vener- able and gracious smiles Ben D. Bell. Druggist of Lexington, Ky., says that Dr. Hale’s Household remedies consisting of Dr. Hale’s Household ough Cure, Dr. Hale’s Household Ointment and Dr. Hale’s Household Tea) are the best sellers he has ever had in his store. This is owing to the great merit of these popular remedies. They invariably give great satisfaction, save many-doctors’ bills and work wonderful cures. Everybody should use them. 25 and 50c. sizes at H.

A strip of his scalp six inches wide was torn off from the top of his head to his eyebrows. A bottle of whisky partly empty was found in his pocket. _ The engineer of the switcher said that the man appeared to be intoxica- ted. The engine was running very slowly and Dagnan had plenty of time to get out of the way. He was an in- mate of the Soldiers’ Home at Noroton, and had a furlough for sixteen days in his pocket. He wasa member of Com- pany F, Twentieth Regiment, Connect- ‘ icut Volunteers, and enlisted from New Haven. He was known when. in. the serVice by the nick-name of “Figgins.” C. Council of Education.

The Seth Thomas Clock company have in process of construction what is probably one of the most wonderful horological productions that has ever been attempted, and which, when com- pleted, will undoubtedly prove one of the most valuable mechanical appli- ances used on shipboard. This novel piece of mechanism will be known as a recording marine compass, and when properly placed on board a vessel will perform the combined work of time- piece, compass, sextant and log line, and accurately record the same, so that at the completion of the voyage it will be possible to ascertain the exact lati- tude, longitude, rate of speed and course of the vessel at any particular hour during the whole time that the vessel was in transit.

A meeting of the Norwalk Fire De- partment was held Monday night,which was well attended. .It was called for the purpose of setting a date for the decoration with flowers of the graves of deceased firemen. In view of the fact that in New York State the date for like remembrance of deceased fire- men is on the second Sunday in June, that day was decided upon for the ob- servance in Norwalk. The different companies will therefore meet on that date and strew the graves of firemen with flowers, the whole expense of so doing to be paid by the different com- panies of the department. The board of fire engineers are'to act with the following committee in the matter of' perfecting arrangements: Fire Police, Capt. A. J. Meeker, Secretary, John Lowth; thnix Engine 00., Lieut. Charles M. Smith, Lieut. D. H. Weeks; Pioneer. Capt. F. E. Birch, R. G. Wil- son; Hope, Capt. P. Slattery, James M. Creagh. * Fighting Over Oyster Grounds. A fierce fight is in progress at Patch- ogue between what are known as the “ free-bay” oystermen and the heirs of Tangier Smith, whose claims to the Oys- ter grounds in that portion of Great South Bay which is within the limits of the town of Brookkaven have just been confirmed by Judge Cullen of the Sn- preme Court. The " free-bay ” men ig- nore the decision and have continued to dredge and rake oysters upon the grounds in question, which are leased by Monroe S. Ryder andJacob Shafi'er. On Saturday. upon application of Ry- der and Shafi‘er, Justice Carman issued warrants against nine of the “ free- bay ” men, and the following were ar- rested charged with trespassing upon oyster grounds : George _Odel , Jr., Alanson J. "Payne, John Hallett. Peter Payne, Dewitt Nevins, Minor Russell, Nathan Payne, William Rose and Au- gustus Paton. Sixty other arrests are to be made within a day or two. The “free-bay ” men threaten to maintain their alleged rights in Great South Bay by resort to arms if necessary. Have We Train Wreckers in Nor- walk? Whiit seems to have been a dastardly attempt to wreck a train on the Dan- bury A: Norwalk division of the House- tonic road occurred Wednesday. The engineer of the freight train due here at 7.45 states that as he was nearing the Electric Light station he saw two large rocks on the track a short dis- tance ahead of his locomotive. . Before he could fully 'reverse the lever the cow-catcher struck them and they were fortunately thrown aside without caus- ing serious damage, to either the loco- motive or train. The train was not stopped until it reached the depot. It would seem as if the rocks were placed on the tracks With evil intent, which if a fact, the miscreant who did it ought to be apprehended and summarily dealt with. How the rocks got there is a mystery, and measures have been taken to ferret out the matter. is, however, a possibility of its being the work of boys, and of the same ilk as those who throw stones at passing trains. ~0- Staub wru Pay. . Comptroller Staub has issued a circu- lar based upon the supreme court de- cision, in which he announces that he will pay all demands classed in his cir- cular of July 15, 1891. as not allowable. They must be presented as of a date since April 1, 1892, and will be adjusted as soon as possible.
