Easy to Take

And prompt to cure, Ayer’s Pills act
on the intestines, ' not by stimula—
ting, but by strengthening thein.
They promote the natural peristaltic
motion of the bowels, without which
there can be no regular, healthy
operations. For the cure of consti-
pation, biliousness, jaundice, ver-
tigo, sick headache, indigestion, sour
stomach, and drowsiness, ’

Ayer’s Pills

‘ are unsurpassed. They are equally
beneficial in rheumatism, neuralgia,
colds, chills, and fevers. Being
purely vegetable, delicately sugar- ‘
coated, and quickly dissolved, they
are admirably adapted for household
use, as well as for travelers by land
or sea. Ayer’s Pills are in greater
demand, the world over, than any
other pill, and are recommended by
the most eminent physicians.

erection of a new cottage at Roton
Point. On either side of the same
Messrs. E. A. Woodward of South Nor-
walk, and A. W. Wallace of Bridge-
port, propose erecting cottages.

The rapidly growing custom of cler-
gymen of different creeds exchanging
pulpits is a commendable one. It tends
to break down denominational barriers
and remove church jealousies. If con—
tinued there is doubt it will make
the Christian circh a Catholic one in
the broadest sense of the word.

As a gentleman was coming out of
the Opera House Saturday evening he
discovered two boys setting fire to a
programme, with a lighted cigarette,
on the stairs. He quickly stamped the
blaze out and thus probably prevented
a panic which might have been raised
by an alarm of fire. Such youngsters
ought to, be summarily dealt with.

An Illinois solon has introduced a
bill to abolish the cigarette, which pro«
vides that “ the description ‘ cigarette ’
shall be deemed to include all prepara-
tions of tobacco soaked in nicotine, or
impregnated with opium, or stramoni.
um, or belladonna, or alcoholic liquor,
or valerian, or tonca bean, or mello-
lotis, or any other deleterious or poi-
sonous substance.”

William Thompson died Tuesday.
aged 60 years. He leaves a wife and

a citizen that our town could illy spare
to loose. The funeral was held on
Thursday afternoon. -

action. -

32 years. She was a daughter of the

Mr. George Clarke’s portrayal of
Petruchio in Mr. Daly’s revival of
“The Taming of the Shrew” is a quiet
and effective bit of work that deserves
recognition. Mr. Clarke belongs to
the old school, but his comedy work is
a les3on in neatness and clean cut di-
rectness to many players who are apt
to sneer at tradition as out of date.—
N. Y. Herald.

Captain Robert J. Lowry, a banker,
and one of the richest men in Atlanta,
called on Mr. Cleveland to congratulate
him on his election. The President-
elect, being engaged at the time. turn-

who spoke frankly of the White House
prospects. “ No ,matter what Mr.
Cleveland thinks of it,” the Captain
quotes her as saying. " Adlai and I are
going to use the axe. ”

Ingersoll on Lincoln.

Robert G. Ingersoll lectured on
“ Abraham Lincoln ” at the Broadway
Theatre Sunday. Standing room was
at a premium.

This was the first time Col. Ingersoll
has delivered this lecture, and it is one
of his best. He reviewed the life of
Lincoln from the log cabin to the
White House, and paid a tribute to
those qualities which have made his
name immortal.

A Phillips Brooks Me'morial Buildina.

The movement to raise a fund of
$300,000 for a Phillips Brooks memorial
building on the Harvard University
grounds is one which commends itself
both on the score of utility and senti-
ment. It has been inaugurated by the
class of ’55, of which the great preacher
and leader of men was a member, and
which will contribute at least one-tenth
of the required fund. Although this
movement was only recently initiated,
320,000 have already been subscribed,
and there is every promise that the en-
tire‘ sum will be readily raised.

Deserves Credit.

day, .had a narrow escape from

Another lad named Gehebe ran to their"
assistance and succeeded in rescuing
them from drowning, one of the lads
havm gone down tv‘vice before he was

The Rev. John E. Searles.

of New Haven, died Sunday night in
Brooklyn, N. Y., at the home of his
son, John E. Searles, secretary of the
sugar trust. Mr. Searles had preached
in Meriden and New Haven. For near-
ly fift years he was a member of the
New ork Conference and was the old-
esttMethodist- clergyman in New York-
sta e.

Another Brakeman Killed.

When the Harlem River freight
reached its destination Tuesday, the
mangled body of Patrick Mahon was
found under the tender. He was last
seen shortly after the train left New
Haven and, it is supposed, was swept
from the car by a passing train. In
some manner the body became wedged
between the trucks and there it re-
mained. As the train made no stop the
remains were not discovered. Mahon
lived in New Haven and very little is
known about him.

Connecticut To The Front.

A Hartford Times Washington spe-
cial says that it is stated there that Con-
necticut is to have a place in Mr.Cleve-
land’s Cabinet—that of Secretary of the
Navy—and that ex-Congressman Carlos
French of Seymour, is the man for the
place.

The report gives great satisfaction in
Washington. The Cennecticut contin-
gent there and all who know Mr.
French express themselves as highly
pleased with the prospect of his becom-
ing a member of Mr. Cleveland’s offi-
cial family. AA

The Pressy Case Settled.

The case of Isaac N. Pressy vs. the
Housatonic Railroad company, in
which Col. W. H. Stevenson was ex-
pected to testify in behalf of the de-
fence, came up for trial in the civil
Common Pleas court yesterday. A
satisfactory settlement was announced
and the suit was withdrawn. Pressy
was employed by Col. Stevenson as
agent at Wilson’s Point and when dis-
charged claimed violation of contract,
and sued to recover damages of sev-
eral hundred dollars.

An Increase of Crime.

The annual reports of the various
state attorneys concerning the criminal
business of the courts for the year
ending July 1, 1892, have been com-
piled by Comptroller Staub and for-
warded to Governor Morris.

The whole number of prosecutions
for different crimes was 721, an in-
crease of 100 as compared with the
preceeding year. The total number of
cases disposed of was 1,734, an increase
of 522. The convictions were 118, an
increase of 36. The amount of forfeited
bonds reported was $15,550; the
amount for the preceeding year was
$10,025.

Reduced Rates to Washington.

The annual Continental Congress of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion will be held in Washington for the
week beginning February 21st.

The principal railroads of the coun-
try have agreed to the following ar-
rangement concerning the reduction of
rates for that week to Washington and
return. Any person wishing to take ad-
vantage of the plan, must pay the full
fare from starting point to Washington,
and secure from the local agent the
printed certificate at least thirty min-
utes before train time, and within three
days of the date of starting. On the
presentation of this certificate to the
chairman of the R. R. committee at the
Congress, he will be furnished with a
return ticket to the point of starting, at
one-third the regular price. These cer-
tificates are not transferrablc, and must
be secured at the local station before
starting, in every instance.

Reappointment Not Probable.

 

 

 

 

 

'3 Governor Morris nominated last week

the members of the State Fish com-
mission, but those of the Shell Fish
commission, which has designation and
general supervision of the oyster
grounds, are not expected until a week
or two hence. The Bridgeport mem-
ber of the latter board is Editor
George C. Waldo, of the Standard.
A strong effort is being made to secure
his reappointment, a petition in his
favor having been numerously signed
by the owners of private grounds.

It has been reported that the “nat-
ural growers” were also supporting
him, .but this a member of their asso-
ciation denies. They have no love
for the Shell Fish commission gener-
ally, regarding it as being hostile to
their interests and as a body will do
nothing to secure the continuance in
office of anyone whom they associate
with previous alleged errors by the
commission. This, the member ex-
plained, is their position. He dis-
claimed any special objection to Mr.
Waldo, but said the natural ground
workers would not lend their influence
towards his reappointment. The im-
pression strongl prevails at Hartford
that his name wi 1 not be among those
sent. in by the governor.

 

Catholics in Lent.
Wednesday began in the RC. church
the forty days fast. The regulations
are materially the same as those an-
nounced two years ago. Last year
the dispensation granted of account of
the grippe, made practically no lent at
all so far as fasting-was concerned. In

all the Catholic churches services will

be held Wednesday and Friday even-
ings. Rosary, sermon and benediction
Wednesday; evening ; stations of the
cross and benediction on Friday even-
ing. The leuten regulations were read
at St. Mary’s church Sunday morning.
. All the weekdays of Lent are fast-
ing days of obligation on one meal
only ; custom has authorized the use of
a slight collation in the evening and a
cup of tea or coffee, etc., in the morn-
ing. Flesh meat is allowed at all times
on Sunday, and at the principal meals
on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, except the second and last
Saturdays of Lent. Eggs, butter and
cheese permitted at the,collation. Be-
sides lard, the fat rendered from any
kind of meat may be used on any da

of Lent. Flesh and fish aré not a -

~lowed at the same meal, even on Sun-
' days.

_ Women pregnant and nursing,
the sick, the aged or feeble, children
under twenty-one years old, and those

 

whose emplo ment is of a laborous or
exhausting c aracter, are excused from
the obligation of fasting.

Kicked Agin Walkin’ Wld Baby.

A vivacious lady friend of the B. L.
D. walked up from the Bridge Satur-
day evening, behind a brace of thor-
oughly Americanized grand-sons of
Erin and was convulsed by the follow-
ing coloquy she was forced to over-
hear. The pair were family men and had
imbibed Just enough beer to be in the
best. of humor and entirely confiden-
tial as to their family affairs.

“Johnny”, said one to the other,
“now I belaves in bein good and kind
and helpin’ about the house for its a
hard time the poor wife has anyway
and so_ I brings the coal and helps
about till I goes to work in the mornin’
and at nights_I empties the slope and
helps Mary Wid the childer and houlds
tho baby—oh begorra does yez mind
Mary’s last baby! Will, he’s a houly
terror. He just ates and slapes all the
day an’ evenin’ an’ is as happy wid
himself as a kitten, till I goes to bed
and thin he begins to howl wurs than a
starved dog in the could woodshed an’
kapes it up all night, till were tired to
death wid him. Ouch, he’s fat an’
fine a baby as ye’d iver wish to see but
ther’s no liviu wid him nights and
Mary she makes me jump out 0’ me
warm bed just as I’m going to slape
an’ in me only garmint walk the flare
wid him, till I’m near ded, it is. An’
those cold nights last week, whin me
fire wus all out ; fur a poor “man can’t
kape fire wid coal at six dollars; I
walked the brat till every tooth in me
hed wus chatterin an’ whin I sthepped
on Mary’s piece of oil cloth forninst
the could stove wid me bare fate, I
tho’t iv’ry bone in me body had gone
crazy wid shakin. Did yez’s iver
sthep on a cOuld oil cloth on a frazin’
night wid yer bare fut? Shure its
enough to make a Prohibitioner see
shnakes. Why, its colder nor a North
of Ireland dog’s nose in mid-winter.
I was so near paralyzed by it, I fired
the squawlin’ spalpeen back into bed
with Mary an’ I said says I, Mary take
your dombed brat, for I’ll die before
I’ll walk the flute wid it another night
an’ so I wouldn’t. Thin there was no
slapin’ or liven’ for aither of us fur all
the night and fur iv’ry night an’ he
can just howl himself to deth, if he
likes, for l’m sint to purgatory afore I
walks the fiure another night wid ’im, so
I am, tho’ I’m willin’ an’ handy an’
helpin’ to Mary whiniver I can about
the house as a dacint man should be,

fiure another night wid ’im.”

“Hould yer,whist, now Tommy till
I enlitens yez,” retorted the compan-
ion. “I know somethin’ as may help
yez. What does yer Mary ate ‘2” "What
does she ate, share, what the divil is’t
she don’t ate ?” retorted Tom. “Will
thin, when Dora guv me the last child,
it scramed for a year and I wint to
Docther Bald—what the divil is his
name—an’ he said sez he what does
your wife ate while nursin’ the kid?”
‘Come 011" says I Docther its makin’
fun ye are wid me, for don’t all the
neighbors know’t that Dora came near
atin’ up the house ’an the cow sthable
an’ the ould cow an’ the pig in it,
while fading that kid in the natural
way.” “Will,” says the Docther,
“does she ate turnips an’ cabbages an’
onions ’an the likes 0’ that. while nur—
sin’ the babe?” “Shure she do,” said I,
“an’ plenty uv thim too, for she sames
like 0’ one of thim locusts of Agypt
that devours iv’ry grane thing. An’
grane corn an’ banes, she’s divil an’
all fur, Docther, says I, an’ there’s
no satisfyin’ her cravin.” “Will,”

wid ye an’ stop Dora atin such disther-
bin’ and tempestous things an’ ye’ll
have no trouble wid the baby cryin’ an’
sure an’ I did; an’ fur a full wake we
had no more disturbance the night
long an’ the child slept swate as an
angil so it did. Now does yer Mary
ate sich rarin’ an’ tearin’ things ?”
“Och sure an’ she ates thim all an’ is
crazy for ’im till she devours mor’n the
ould cow iver could.” “Will, now
Tommy, you sthop her as the Docther
sed an’ see if it won’t wurk as it did
wid Dora.” “Sure an.’ I will” prom-
ised Tommy with fervor, and it is to be
presumed he cruelly shut off Mary’s
favorite rations, but with what result,
our lady informant, has not learned.
The last she overheard was Tommy’s
promise to try it and his thrice repeated
asseveration that whether the experi-

Notice to the Farmers.
The 26th volume of the Reports of
the Connecticut State Board of Agri-
culture is now in press and will soon be
ready for distribution. The first Re-
port was issued in 1866; there was none
in 1870. Of the series from 1866 to
1878 inclusive, I have practically no
extra copies, but from 1879 onwards to
1891, thirteen volumes, I have still
copies on hand for distribution. Agri-
cultural Societies, Farmer’s Clubs,
Granges, Public Libraries, and private
citizens may obtain them free while
the supply lasts, either by express or
mail. Orders by mail should be ac-
companied by postage, for the largest
volumes, 23 cents. I am desirous of
obtaining any of the volumes previous
to ’79, to complete sets, and will gladly
pay postage or express on any cepies
that may be sent to me.

May 18, 1892.

“ Dear friend of women:

“When my baby was born,
five years ago, I got up in six
days. Far too soon. Result:
falling of the womb. Ever since
I’ve been miserable. ,

“ I tried everything : doctors,
medicines, apparatus ; but grew
worse. _

“I could-hardly stand; and
walking without support was
impossible. ’ '

“At last I saw an advertise-

,ment of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Wgetable Compound, and de-
cided to try it. The effect was
astonishing. Since I took the
first bottle my womb has not
troubled me, and, thanks only -
to you, I am now Well. very
suffering woman u .
should know how
reliable your
compound is. It
is a sure cure.” .
