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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. —~«-O‘>-———-—- 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- ment stopped the “crying evil” or not Tom’s stubborn protestation that ‘ ‘any- way I’m dombed if I walk the fiure agin’, wid that baby.” ————— ——<o—>———~——-—-—— Adams-Sturges- At 5:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon Memorial church of the Holy Trinity in Westport, which had been adorned with palms, potted plants and flowers, was filled in every part, the occasion being the marriage of Miss Emma Louise, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
