Some Interesting Talks with Peo- ole We Know, and Sound Advice Given. (Fulton, N. Y., Patriot.) At intervals during the past year the Patriot and Gazette has "been publish- ing newspaper reports of miraculous cures occurring in various parts of the United States, which have been to many of us exceedingly interesting reading. ' We had no reason to doubt the ac- curacy of these various statements from the fact that they were vouched for-by the newspapers who published the same, and bore upon their face the endo‘r’isement of the best men and ,women in the places from which they were written. We had no idea, how- ever, that right in our very village, among people we all know, equally as interesting cases were to be found as these published. The medicine that has been working these wonders is re- ceiving everywhere the endorsement of physicians, press and patient, is Dr. David Kennedy’s Eavorite Remedy. Perhaps there is no case more worthy of mention. than that .of our fellow townsman, C. H. Graver- According to Mr. Craver’s own statement, he suf-. ferred fer'fifteen years with an ulcerat- ed leg. Difl'erent physicianswere con- sulted, they prescribed, but it did not grow better, “I thought,” said Mr. Graver, “that it could neverbe healed ; finally Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy was mentioned to me, and from the first bottle it began to improve, and af- ter using, I can’t say just how much, it made a perfect cure.” . Inquiry among Mr. Craver’s friends shows that he states nothing but the facts in regard to his case. _Many other instances of the kind are Widely talked of here in Fulton where Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy has effected cures af- ter physicians had iven up hope. “We all live and earn,” said one of our local physicians in speaking of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. “N o doubt Mr. Craver’s case was the result of an excess of uric acid in the blood and that’s why Favorite Remedy cured it. Rheumatism, dyspepsia, diabetis, kidney, liver and urinary troubles, scrofula, eczema, and the Sicknesses women suffer from, are all brought about by the same cause, excess of uric acid in the blood. Dr. Kennedy’s Fa- vorite Remedy dissolves this acid, thus curing the disease. For that run down feeling people often suffer from in the Spring, I have used it with marked success.” , ' W. H. Morse, M. D., New York Medical Institute, New York City, says : “I know of the therapeutical value of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favor- ite Remedy and prescribe it for the disorders for which it is recommended, and with always satisfactory results.” Confirmed invalids who expected. to end their lives in hospitals, suffering from chronic rheumatism, neuralgia, stone in the bladder," and femaleweak- nesses, have been restored to health by this great medicine. _ It_ is used in every hospital and sanitarium. The Sisters of Charity, St. Mary’s Female Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y., say, “The satisfaction we realize from the use of Dr. David Kennedy’s Fayorite Remedy for surpasses all expectations.” Imagine the joy and gratitude of Mr. E. P. Tayer. of East Nassau, N. Y., after being an invalid for fifteen years from inflammatory rheumatism, and with no hope of ever getting better, took Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy and threw away his crutches, and is to- day a well man. His recovery is look- ed upon in East Nassau as a modern miracle. Uric acid—that is the foe to health, many more sicknesses than one imag- ines comes from this cause. Dr. Ken- nedy’s Favorite Remedy stands to-day that dissolves this acid and gives health and strength. ——-.O. Municipal Elections. \V’INSTED.

Z ET T E - CARTER HARRISON’S BAD FRENCH.- 50 Wanted Mushrooms, but tho Wino! .Brouxlit Him an Umbrella. Some other Americans and myself had been'in the habit of dropping into, the Cafe Francais after leaving the Grand Opera House. None of our party spoke French, and the head waiter was the only one‘in the cafe who spoke English- He had long, flowing, red mutton chop whiskers. ~ As soon as we would take our seats we would be approached by a waiter, where- upon we would begin pulling our own phantom mutton chops to make him understand that we wanted the head waiter. “Oui. oui,” he would say, and in a few moments our bewhiskered friend, of whom Major Handy is a. prototype, would be bowing and smiling and work- ing graciously for a tip. We met Carter Harrison. He went to the theater with our party, and after- ward we took him to the Cafe Francais. Carter Harrison was then, and may be now, very fond of mushrooms. Before going into the restaurant he inquired the French name for them. He was told that they were called “champignons.” We soon were seated at our usual tap bio and one of the waiters came to us. We worked our imaginary mutton chops, but were given to understand that the head waiter was absent. Harrison tried to pronounce “champignon,” but could not. He thought he had it perfectly, but his pronunciation was no more like the French of it than my English is like the Hindostanee. He couldn’t. make the waiter understaiid, until an inspiration came to him. He seized his pencil and drew the picture of a mushroom. Carter pronounced the word again and . pointed at the picture. There it was, plain as day to us who knew what he wanted—the stem and canopylike top of the vegetable. The waiter gazed at it in profound study for a moment, then the light of comprehension spread over his features. “Oui, oui,” he said, and trotted of. In a few moments he returned, and bowing politely to Mr. Harrison, handed him an umbrella. We looked at the pic- ture of the mushroom, the waiter looked at it, and then Carter, umbrella in hand, looked at it. Then he rose and said some- thing that every American could under- stand, but Which, luckily for him, the waiter did not. Carter ate no mush- rooms that night.-—Chicago Inter Ocean. Rules For Judging Rubber. An investigation has been conducted by Lieutenant L. Vladimirofi at the St. Petersburg Technical institute with a view to establishing. rules or tests where- by the quality of vulcanized india rub- ber may be efficiently judged. It is a notorious fact that no method of chem- ical analysis gives a reliable result for this substance. Hence the tests applied were chiefly of a physical nature. From a lengthy series of experiments the fol- lowing conclusions were deduced: India rubber should not give the least sign of superficial cracking when bent to an angle of 180 degrees after five hours of exposure in a closed air bath to a temperature of 125 degrees centigrade. The test pieces should be six centimeters thick. Rubber that does not contain more than half its weight of metallic oxides should stretch to five times its height without breaking. Caoutchouc, free from all foreign mat- ing it, should stretch at least seven times its length before rupture. The extension measured immediately aft-er rupture has taken place shd'uld not exceed -12. per cent of the original length of the test piece of rubber. The test piece should be from'3 to 12 milli- meters long, 3 centimeters wide and not more than 6 millimeters thick. _ ' Softness may be determined by measur- ing the percentage of ash formed on in- cineration. It may form the basis for deciding between different grades of rub— ber for certain purposes. The vulcanized rubber should not hard- en under the influence of cold tempera- ture.—Electrician. “Cleveland Is Our President.” The following literary oddity can -be read in upward of 5,000 different ways by starting with the boldfaced C in' the center and taking the most zigzag course to any of the four corners: TNEDISERPRUOURPRESIDENT NEDISERPRUOSOURPRESIDEN EDISERPRUOSISOURPRESIDE DISERPRUOSIDISOURPRESID ISERPRUOSIDNDISOURPRESI SERPRUOSIDNANDISOURPRES ERBRUOSIDNALANDISOURPRE RPRUOSIDNALELANDISOURPR PRUOSIDNALEVELANDISOURP BUOSIDNALEVEVELANDISOUR UOSIDNALEVELEVELANDISOU OSIDNALEVELCLEVELANDISO UOSIDNALEVELEVELANDISOU RUOSIDNALEVEVELANDISOUR PRUOSIDNALEVELANDISOURP RPRUOSIDNALELANDISOURPR ERPRUOSIDNALANDISOURPRE sunnnuosinnnnnisounrnns isnnPnUOSIDNnisounPunsi DISEnPnUOSIDisocanEsfp EDISERPRUOSISOURPRESIDE NEDISERPRUOSOURPRESIDEN TNEDISERPRUOURPRESIDENT ' ‘ ¢~St. Louis'Republic.

The .blll of Margaret Haley for injuries received from a fall on the sidewalk was tabled. ' The bill of the board of relief for $120 which was referred at the last. ' by the Tramway company. meeting of the Court to the chairman of the committee on 1i hts was then taken up. Burgess Mc ullen reported that the board ought not to receive any more than the previous boards had, 2'. 6. $60. He said that the first thing the board had done was to reduce their own taxes; failed to see where the Bor- ough could get money to pay such de- mands as this one, and if they were paid it would not take long to bank- rupt the Borough. He then moved that the board be paid $60, and it was so voted. A petition was read from residents of Stuart avenue asking that a sewer be placed on that avenue also for an elec- tric lighting of the avenue. The pray- er stated that the petitioners would put down sidewalks, etc., as soon as a grade was established &c. . . _ George Gerrish one of the petition- era was present and stated that the residents of the avenue were ready to connect with sewer if laid. In the course of his remarks the information was elicited that several. of the resi- dences on the avenue were connected with the South Norwalk water system. Mr. Gerrish however volunteered ‘~ the statement that they would connect with the borough water system if their pray- er was granted. The petition was re- ferred to the committees on sewers, highway and lights. (It is not believed that the petition will be granted prev- ions to the signers of the same connect- ing with the borough system.) . The following petition signed by rep- resentatives of the Young People’s soci- ety of the First Congregational church, and the Society of Christian Endeavor was read : To the Honorable Board of Burgesses of the Borough of Norwalk, Conn. Gentlemen : 1t has come to our knowled e that there are a number of saloons, and sma 1 places of busi- ness, which as often as the Sabbath comes around, are regularly opened. and kept open, in direct Violation of eXistmg laws. These places are imperilling the good name of our town and endangering the morals of our peo- ple, more especially of theyoung. Therefore. we, young people of the First Congregational Church. and members of the “ Society of Christain Endeavor,” do hereby exercise our ri ht of petition, respectfullybnd earnestly as 'ng of you Honorable Body,in the interest of morality. and in the name of religion, and also out of deep regard to‘ the highest prosper- ity of our beauti ul borough,_that you' Will see to it, that the laws now in ourvstatute books respecting thaclosmg of saloons, and all other places of busmess on the Holy Sab- bath. be faithfully and efficiently enforced. And this your petitioners Will ever pray. After the reading of the petition Warden Sloan stated that With the Chief of Police he was making eyery effort to keep the saloons complained of closed on Sunday. Said that such efforts were in a great measure ham- pered by reason of the fact that it was hard work to get two reputable Wit- nesses who were willing to appear against the violators of the law in this respect. Said that scarcely a day pass- ' ed but that someone came to him with complaints in this direction _but none of the complainers were Willing to ap- pear against the alleged guilty parties. Burgess McMullen said that _if the prayer prevailed it would result in the closing of even the Chinese laundries, and it would be too bad if a man could not go out of a Sunday morning to get a clean shirt to wear to church. Thought the petition savored too much of the blue laws. . ' Burgess Squires said_that there was a law on the Statutes in reference to Sunday closing that the “petitioners could have enforced if they so Wished. Burgess Glover was of the opinion that the Court ought to be cautious in the matter. Burgess McMullen thought that the granting of the petition would be too much of a fine thing for constables, grand jurors, justices of the peace, etc., who otherwise might. be forced to shovel gravel for a livmg. No action was taking in the matter. dThe‘police rep ort was read and accept- e . . Mr. Mansfield was then heard in the interest of the Norwalk Tramway Com- pany. He renewed the offer of the company in reference to the grading of Mill Hill. and said that the company was ready to go ahead and do the work at a cost to the borough not in excess of $500. Thought there would be no trouble with property owners. as to damages, Manice Lockwood being the only one in doubt. He said that a great many of the abutters on the street would prefer that the traoks be laid on the south side of the hill instead of as originally intended in the mid- . die of the street.’ The company was doing all in their power to gain the good will of Norwalk citizens. The following preamble and resolu- tion was then passed: _ ' . - Whereas, this Court has hitherto giv. en'the Nerwalk Tramway Company _a location for its track. over_ and. down Mill Hill, so called, in. the Borough, and it hasbeen shown to . this Court that a change of such location would be in some respects more advantageous and convenient for both said company and the public, therefore, ‘ Resolved, That this, Court does, so far as it lawfully may, hereby .consent that said company may 'in lien and amendment of said previous location in the center of the street over and down said Mill Hill from near Hu_ hell’s lane to Smith street, locate its tracks there upon the southerly Side of location as shall seem to said company most ’adv’a’nta4 geousto the publicand toit. , Mr. .Mansfield also spoke in'firefer-v encetothe' la ng of the tracks -on Wall street. e Iaid that the company had some year-I ago been given a icon? 411011 for layingI their tracks on that street. .Said t e legislature had grant- ed the right to lay the tracks through that street. The location as previously ~ granted would bring the proposed new ‘ tracks very close to those of the pres- ent horae. railway tracks, and while such laying of tracks and runnin cars on the same was not impracticab e, the company would prefer to have a new layout granted for the _ placing of the tracks on the south side of those now in eXIstence, as being better for both companies. Thought the street was amply Wide. Asked for prompt action in the matter on the part of the court. Said the compan had the right to run its tracks throng Wall street. and they would be so» laid, but wanted to har- momze With all the parties interested. The followmg vote was then passed : .Yoted, That this Court objects to ad- ditional tracks through Wall street un- less used jointly and that we request- the legislature to amend the char- tersoof the two companies so as to com- pel jOint trackage, and the cars to fol- low the_rules of the road. ' _ A petition in reference to the loca- tion of the tracks of the Tramway com- pany on Belden avenue near the resi- dence of S. B. Wilson, was referred to the highway committee and Borough ‘ engineer, With power, all expense of such change of layout to be defrayed Woodbury avenue was accepted as one of the Borough streets. Burgess Squire reported that the re- taining wall petitioned for by Ray- mond Bros, near Jennings Place, zvafildi cost $150. The matter Was a e . .On motion of Burgess Glover the highway committee was instructed to procure granite blocks for the paving of Main street between the horse rail- way tracks. Burgess Squire reported that the ap- prox1mate cost of a sewer on Butler street would be $3,800, and for the one on Elmorest, $925. It was decided to table the matter until such time as an ‘ estimate had been received for the pro- posed sewer on Stuart avenue. Water Commissioner Street stated that it was proposed to lay a water pipe on Henry Street and asked that the hill at one end of the street be cut down before the pipe was laid. He was in- formed that the street had not yet been accepted by the Borough. Burgess McMullen said that in his estimation it was a needless expense in the carting away of garbage. Did not think that it was fair to cart it away from one section of the Borough. If it was done at all it should be done for eyeryone in the Borough. It should either be discontinued or extended all over the Borough. It was then voted to continue the collecting of garbage where now collected, if p seed in bar- rels or boxes, restricting straw, hay, paper, etc. Warden Sloan stated that he had re- . appomted the committee on the assess- ing/of damages and benefits by the grading of Butler street, the assess ments, etc., now to include every prop- erty owner on the street. -, . The chairman of the finance commit- tee was instructed to borrow $1,000 on . the account .of the Borough. Complaint' was made that the old church building on Chapel street, oc- cupied by Italians, was a scene of al-‘ most daily broils andfights, and prop- erty owners in that vicinity asked 'to . have the nuisance abated. It Was stated that property in that neighborhood had greatly deteriorated in value be- cause of this particular nuisance. Burgess Glover then brought = up the matter of the city charter, which he said would be brought before the legis- lature to-day, and thought there ought to be someone in Hartford to represent 'the Borough in the matter. It was voted that Warden Sloan, Burgess Chinery and Burgess Sutherland be ap- pomted acommittee to visit Hartford in the interest of the proposed city charter.
