DARIEN.
Many people of Darien are discussing
the probable result of the action taken
by the town meeting, directing the _as-
.sessors to comply with the law which
provides for assessing property at the
full value. If the instructions are car-
ried out, there will be a big change in
the list, and it is believed that the tax
rate (fixed at six mills) will be more
than sufficient to meet the expenses of
the town. The wisdom of the action of
the town meeting in regard to the com-
pensation of the Selectmen is open to
question. Heretofore the First Select-
man has been paid $400 per year. The
meeting voted to pay no salary at all,
but to permit the selectmen to do
whatever work they deem necessary
and to charge whatever they consider
their services worth. By resolution of
the meeting, the select-men are here-
after to employ only citizens of Darien
on the public highways. and must pur‘
chase town supplies in Darien, if they
can be bought there.

LIVING WITHOUT FOOD.
Professor George Sloan Hoped In That
Way to Conquer- Els'Malady.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5,—Prcfesscr George
Sloan. who is living with friends at 3444
Wabash avenue. has for 45 days thrived
on a diet of mineral water. and drugs.
During all that time "not a particle of
nourishment, solid or liquid, has passed
his lips. Oboe he attempted to drink some
weak beef tea. but could not swallow a
mouthful of the beverage. New, although
quietly proud of boating Dr. Tanner’s fa-
mous record of -;5 days, he is anxious to
eat, but; cannot. The professor is 6-1 years
old, his advanced age making his case
more remarkable. _. ., .
For several years Professor Sloan has
been afflicted with a malignant stomach
complaint, and at times the patient would
fast for days in order to find relief. A
month and a half ago he decidedto‘again
live along for a few days without food. of
any kind and obtained such satisfactory
results that he continued fasting until he
is now unable to eat or drink anything at
all but mineral water. ' The friends with
whom he is living said last night that
their patient’s mind seemedjust as bright
as ever, but they dcpnot entertain the
'same hopeful view of the result as his wife
does and told her that theythought he
could not live much longer.
One of the most curious features of the
case is that Professor Sloan has not be-
come emaciated byluck of food. He is
nearly 6 feet tall and-a. heavily built
man and maintains plenty'of flesh on his
face and body. A bright flush over each
cheek bone is the only appreciable symp-
tom of distress.
Professor Sloan was years ago a news-
paper and magazine writer and is a
scholar. - j .

BRICK AND THOMAS WON.
Prevented Election of New Directors Fa
'the Alabama Great Southern.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, (lot. 5.—The Brice-
Thomas people, through John Greenough
of New York, caught the Cincinnati, Ham-
ilton and Dayton faction napping at the
annual meeting of the Alabama Great
Southern Railroad company’s stockhold-
Irs, and despite the fact the former repre-
sent the minority holders of the Cincin-
nati extension bonds they were able to
prevent the election of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton directors. ‘
This leaves the road in neutral hands,
or in charge of the present directory, so
the way is clear for the Southern Railway
company to bid for the extension bonds
held as collateral by the Central Trust
Company of New York when they are sold
at foreclosure.
United States Deputy Marshal Mus-
grove came in as the vote was taking and
served an injunction issued .by Judge
Bruce on the inspectors of the election,
restraining them from counting any il-
legal votes, such votes consisting of those
of six men as directors, since none of
them named was a shareholder of the Ala.-
bama Great Southern Railroad company,
the law of Alabama requiring that per-
sons elected as directors of a railroad cor-
poration in this state must first be stock-
holders before they can be eligible to the
directory. The meeting then adjourned
sine die, the existing board holding over.

When my little girl was one month old, she
had a. scab form on her face. It kept spread-
ing until she was completely covered from
head to foot. Then she had boils. She had
forty on her head at one time, and more on
her body. When six months old she did not
weigh seven pounds, a pound and a half less
than at birth. Then her- skin started to dry
up and got so bad she could not shut her eyes
to sleep, but laid with them half open. About
this time, at the earnest request of friends, I
started using the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and
in one maul/z size was completely cured.
The doctor and drug bills were over one Inm-
a’red dollars, the Cuticura bill was not more
thanfive dollars. My child is now two years
old, strong, healthy and large as any child of
her age (see photo.) and it, is all owing to
CUTICURA. Yours with 3 Mother’s Blessing,
