HELP! HELP! THE LADY PAINTS.
“’Tis the twink of an eye,
'Tis the draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health,
To the palcncss of death.”
When sudden fainting spells come
upon a lady, you may always suspect
some uterine disturbances or trouble, or
some great disorder in the circulation and
nerve centers. A remedy that has al-
ways proved successful iu warding off and
removing the tendency to a recurrence of
fainting spells—that removes the cause
of them, corrects the circulation of blood,
and gives to the system that even run- -
ning nervous energy so essential, is Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
The “Prescription” is guaranteed to
give satisfaction in every case, or money
refunded. Nothing else does as much.
You only pay for the good you get.
Can you ask more ?
As a regulator and promoter of func-
tional action, at the critical period of
change .from girlhood to womanhood,
“Favorite Prescription” is a perfectly
safe remedial agent, and can produce
only good results. It is equally efiica—
cious and valuable in its effects when
taken for those disorders and derangeo
merits incident to that later and most
critical period, known as"‘The change
of Life.” .

Discharged and Exonerated.
R. L. Spencer, formerly of Walling-

rines’ bank at Tallapoosa.

modore David Banks’ flag-ship Water
- Witch, Decoration day, on the occasion
of the Atlantic Yacht Club’s spring

tiful craft that was wintered just below
the Saugatuck R. R. bridge and which

beauty.

Did Not Come Off.
Saturday evening John Slattery and
“Doc” XVhite met each other on Wil-
ton avenue, with the result that there
was an impromptu scrap, in which
White is said to have gotten the worst
of it. Later, friends (P) of both met
and arranged for a fight to the finish,
to take place: Tuesday at a point on
the Sticky Plain road. A crowd of
about thirty assembled at the battle
ground but only to be disappointed.
The principals did not put in an ap-
pearance. and -for the simple reason
that Chief DeForestwas “on to it” and
advised the would-be fighters that if
they attempted anything -of the kind
he would see that they Were landed in
States prison. They wisely went home
and to bed.
The Boat Race.
The boat race between the Edith and
Crossman boats for a stake of $50 came
off at Roton Monday afternoon and
resulted in a victory for the Crossman
boat, sailed by Charley Brotherton.
The course was from an imaginary line
in . front of the Roton Point dock to
Wilson Point buoy. then around the
Bell buoy to Wilson. Point buoy, to
Bell buoy back to the starting line.
Referee S. B. Wilson started the boats
at 2.58 with Brotherton in the lead,
which he kept until after the Bell buoy
was turned when Riley got the Edith
to the windward and led to the Wilson
Ponnt buoy. After turning the latter
buoy Riley started for home’ and round-
ed the stake boat, but Brotherton kept
on down to the Bell buoy and then
home, and was declared the winner by
Referee Wilson, as Riley had not gone
over the course.
A Memorial Day Runaway.
There was a runawa on Wall street
Monday morning. r. A. N. Clark,
in company with George York, were
seated in a. carriage. When in front of
Gregory’s drug store, the carriage top
was raised. The horse was a young
one and had never been driven before
a top buggy. - When on the bridge the
animal espied the to and becoming
frightened ran. The doctor turned the
horse to escape a passing team near the
Boston store, but in doing so he caused
the carriage to lurch and the occupants
were thrown into the street. - A crowd
rushed to their assistance, but the
were able to .pick themselves up. t
was found that neither had sustained
injury other than that Mr. York had a
slight contusion on the forehead. That
they escaped injury could hardly' be
comprehended b those who witnessed
the accident. T e horse continued on
at amad pace to Brook street, where it
collided With a building and was thrown
to the ground, when John Bouton ~ ran
to the rescue and led the animal to

Town Meeting.
Nearly three hundred persons as-
sembled at the, Town House, Saturday
afternoon in answer to the call of the
selectmen. R. H. Golden was elected
moderator. The objects of the call were
taken up separately as follows :
To consider and take action upon the writ-
ten petition of Henry Jones and others pray-
ing ‘ for the immediate opening and working
“ of that portion of the highway running from
"the . ,, . . and H. B. R. to Fifth avenue
“ on the Benedict harm. according to a snrvey
“ and map recently made by Charles NM 00d,"
the acceptance of said survey ; and the appro-
priation of a sufficient sum from the Town
reasury for opening and working said high-
way.
_ Attorney Hurlbutt opposed the grant-
ing of the petition on the ground that
the meeting had no legal right to grant
it. He said he represented property
holders on that street. After some ar-
gument, a motion to make the appro-
priation was lost. A .motion to table
the matter then prevailed.
The second item in the call was :
To consider and take action upon the matter
of granting in the Ambler «in Perry Hat Coin~
panv of East Norwalk, the privilege of tapping
the East avenue sewer for the use of their hat
factory and for no other purpose.
Charles Olmstead spoke in favor of
the motion, as being an encouragement
for manufacturers to locate here.
Washington Youngs, through whose
land the sewer would run, objected to
the granting of the petition, as it would
render a portion of his water-'front un-
healthy'. .Headmitted that private sew-
ers emptiedinto the same, Others spoke
on the sub] ect, after which the origi-
nal motion was carried With only one
dissenting vote. _
The fourth section of the callwas em-
bodied 1n the followmg resolution :
That the Selectmen be, and they are hereby
authorized and instructed, to. properly work,
grade, repair, Widen and straighten the'high-
way extending from Elm Grove Place, so call-
ed. to the Boton Hill road, in the town of Nor-
walk. from the residence of George F. Reeler
to the residence of Jacob B. Raymond, agree~
able. and according to survey prepared by
Ferris Morehouse. C. E as nearly as the same
may be practicable, and to make. layout and
construct a continuation of .said Roton Hill
road from the resrdence of said'Jacob B. Ray-
mond to the cross road leading from Bell
Island to the Roton Point road, agreeable to
map prepared by Charles _N. Wood, C. E., the
trave ed path along said highwaytohe not less
than 22 feet in Width and of equal distance be-
tween the fences on the Sides of said highway,
as shown on said map, provided the property
owners interested in the same will give the
necessary land. remove fences, and contribute
the gum of $390 toward the expense of said
“'01‘ i.
This was objected to by J. Belden
Hurlbutt for the same reasons as ex-
pressed by him in reference toithe first
number in the call of the meeting, 1. e.,
that this meeting could not legally act
in_ the matter. without first adVismg
with the property owners. During the
dlSCllSSlOll of the matter, Mr. Hurlbutt
and the moderatorhad a little tilt as to
the .moderator’s right to present the
motion without its haying first been
seconded. The matter was discussed
by Messrs. Coolidge, I. M.Hoyt, Town--
send, Byington, Walsh, Selectman Ba-
ker and others, Mr. Byington offering
a substitute resolutiOn which he after-
ward withdrew. Mr. Hurlbutt stated
that there were other roads in town
more in need of repairs. The motion
to accept the resolution was lost by an
almost unanimous vote.
Number four in the call was :
To consider and take action upon the writ-
ten petition of Edward Chasmar and others,
praying for the acceptance. as a public high-
way of the road recently laid out and opened
, to public travel. kno'wn as Myrtle avenue, and
running easterly to East avenue.
_ After some discussion and explana-
tions by Messrs. Rider,_ Hurlbutt, Bell
and Olmstead, the. motion was unani-
mously carried.
Number five was :
To consider and take. action upon the writ-
ten petitiou of O. E. Wilson and_otners,by the
acceptance by the town of Jarvis street as a
public highway.
_Mr. 0. E. Wilson, the alleged peti-
tioner, was called upon to shed some
light upon the matter. He stated that
he had. not authorized the use of his
name, in fact, did not know where the
street was located. 0. B. Coolidge ex-
plained and the matter was tabled.
Number SD: was:
To consider and take action upon the writ-
ten petition of Arthur Waldron and others.
praying for theacceptance by the town, of
Cottage avenue. in East N orwalk, as a public
highway.
A motion to table was lost, and after
some discussmnit was voted to accept it.
Number seven was :
To consider and take action upon the writ-
ten petition of John 15. Wheeler and others,
" that the town of Norwalk accept and finish
"grading Keyser avenue from the carriage
“ bridge, running north to said road track.”
_ The matter was explained by the pe-
titioner, Mr. Wheeler, and discussed
by Messrs. Townsend, Bell and Select-
manBaker,the latter gentleman stating
that enough gravel could be taken from
the proposed street to pay all expense.
It was then voted to accept the street.
The eighth and last number was :
And to consider and take action upon the
matter of the acceptance. by the town, of
Bridge street, running northerly from the
Junction of the Saugatuck and Selleck swamp
roads across the railroad track, as a public
highway.
_ Considerable objection was offeredto
itsacceptaIiCe and a vote resulted in its
being tabled. _
The meeting then adjourned.
Killed on a Crossing.
Miss Catherine Hessen met with a
terrible death at the Ann street cross-
ing of the Housatonic road, Sunday
morning. She was struck by the loco~
motive of the up passenger train and
hurled one side into the street. The
train was stopped, and it was found
that Miss Hessen still breathed. She
was placed in the baggage-car ansthe
train backed down to the station. where
she was placed on a stretcher and taken
into the baggage room. Drs. Baker,
Bohannan and Burke, and Rev. Father
O’Brien were summoned. She lived
about one and a half hours after the ac-
cident. The coroner found a severe
scalp wound, probably fracture base of
skull, ribs crushed in, hand bruised and
comminuted fracture of the ankle.
Death resulted from the shock. She
lived in East Norwalk, and it is thought
was on her way to call on a. friend on
Ann street when struck by the locomo-
tive. She was in the 615t year of her
age and had been in this country about
45 years. The remains were taken to
the home of her sister Mrs. David Shee-
han on School street, Norwalk, from
which place her funeral was held Tues-
ay morning, the interment. being in
St. Mary’s cemetery. The deceased
was an earnest Catholic and 'well and .
favorably known by many who prized
her friendship.

The Decision Sustained.
_In the celebrated oyster case of the
state against Charles J. Nash, the Su-
preme Court finds no error. Reasons
are given by Judge Fenn. Mr. Nash
was convicted in the Court of Common
Pleas of taking oysters from the
grounds of the American 'Oyster Com-
pany ofi‘ Black Rock. He appealed to
this court, and the decision of the low-
er court is sustained. , ‘

The benefit given to the Y. M. C. A.
by the'Ladies’ Auxiliary on Saturday
evening last was a pleasing success,
and over $50 was realized. The hall
was comfortably filled with an appre-

pleasure to the various pieces on the
programme, consisting of music, recita-
tions, etc. Gen. Couch gave an inter-
esting address on ‘ ‘War Reminiscences”
that was listened to with much interest.
The ladies are deserving of thanks

An Orange Trick.
The trick with the orange called the
“seasick passenger” is played the first
thing upon the voyager whose stomach
is s‘hspected of uncertainty. The eyes,
nose and mouth of a man are ‘cut on
the side of the orange, the .eyes and
nose being made by a slight removal of
the skin, while the mouth is a deep in;
cision. The orange is then put on top
of a strong tumbler and pressing on its
edge is rolled about to imitate the
heaving of a vessel.. The juice is thus
forced out of the mouth incision and a
very miserable passenger portrayed.
If this sight doesn’t at the same time
force a good many people to seek their
cabins hurriedly, the result is consid-
ered to be very disappointing.
