I{Entered in the Post-()fi-lo e as a Newspape:
Fessenden for Speaker-
’Earnest Republicans all over Fair.
field county, are quite astonished at
what they deem the unfair conduct of
the hartford Courant in its indirect
labors against the Hon. Samuel Fes-
senden’s candidacy for the speaker-
ship. That the Courant is zealously
laboring 'in unison with ex.Governor
Bulkeley for the selection of Judge
Elmer, is its right and privilege, and
no one may say it nay. But when Fes-
senden made himself a target for se-
vere criticism and even abuse, because
,he would not accept the nomination,
clearly within his grasp, to the United
States Senate, and thus made the re-
turn of the Courant’s editor for a third
term a possibility, Republicans down
this way seem to think a decent sense
of appreciation for such an important
favor bestowed,should inspire the Cour-
ant with gratitude enough to show Fes-
senden the same fair treatment it has
usually been accustomed to accord to
those it did not favor. The Courant’s
opposition to Fessenden is interpreted
hereabouts as grounded upon the fact
that for years he has been one of the
many able attorney’s employed by
the Consolidated Railroad. This cer-
tainly is a circumstance highly credit-
able alike tO both Fessenden’s ability
and his fidelity. The Bridgeport Stan-
dard, in the following editorial, though
not “speaking right out in meeting,”
as the GAZETTE in its strict indepen-
dence of party trammels can bluntly
do, thus very effectually answers this
railroad service criticism:
“The argument urged in some quar-
'ters against the candidacy of the Hon.
Samuel Fessenden for speaker, that he
now has, or has had, associations with
the railroad interests, and that such
associations would influence him as
speaker are unworthy consideration.
In. the first place it is no reflection up-
on the character or qualifications of the
other honorable gentlemen who are
prominently named for the position to
say that in the combnation of public
service, party eXperience and natural
endowment, he is the superior of them
all, and that his election to the place
would put at the helm of the House a
man pro-eminently able to guide its
affairs with ability and discrimination,
to accord justice without partiality and
to decide all questions with prompt
good judgment and upon their merits.
To turn the duties of his important
pOsition one hair’s breadth from the
line of right- in favor Of any interest,
corporate or individual, seeking favor
from the legislature, would be suicidal
and no man in his senses, much less so
level-headed a man as the Hon. Samuel
Fessenden would put himself voluntar-
ily in such a position before the people.
The insinuation is preposterous and an
insult to the members of the legislature
who must be his tools in any such work.
Mr. Fessenden has an honorable am~
bition and that commendable and
proper feeling is perfectly in conso-
nance with the highest patriotism and
the strictest political probity. More-
over, it is dependent upon popular
opinion, formed by observation and
experience of the man in his public
capacity and private life for adequate
recognition and success, and under
such circumstancesin the full glare of
eritcial observation and inspection, no
man could hope for the ‘iwell done
good and faithful servant,” which he
would strive to Obtain unless he had'
honestly merited the award by honor-
able service. rTherefore, we say that
toinsinuate that he is incapacitated
because he has been retained at times,
as a lawyer, by the railroad interest, is
unworthy consideration. There are
precious few lawyers in the state, who
have made any mark at all, who have
not been the attorneys of some corpor-
ation, at some time, and that fact
should be, ‘with honest men who are
not seeking to improperly influence
their fellow citizens, an evidence of
ability rather than a suspicion of shame.
If your ablest men are to be incapaci-
tated for public service because their
ability has been recognized outside the
towns in which they were born, then
we shall be narrowed needlessly in the
times when we want the best services
of‘those whom we know are able and
reputable. Mr. Fessenden represents
the Republicanism of the Nation. that

Shakespeare says: “When sorrows
come, they come not single spies but
in battalions.” How true this is of
disease. How surely will over-work
lead to nervousness, headache, ner-
vous exhaustion, prostration, paralysis
and the most terrible nervous diseases.
Bad blood causes humors, stomach,
liver and kidney complaints, rheuma-
tism, bad complexion, tumors and all
kinds of blood diseases. That tired
feeling means exhaustion of the nerves
and vital forces—it kills. If the liver
is torpid, constipation follows. This
clogs the circulation and causes conges-
tion of all the organs. _ _ ‘
You must stop these complaints right
where they are, if you value your life.
The way to do it is to take Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It
cures disease and makes you well.

The popular Miss Rose McCarthy, of

writes :
“For a long time I was troubled with
nervousness and violent headaches I
would lie awake nearly all night and
was in constant misery. Previous to
this my complexion was a very healthy
color, but it now became very bad.
“I took three bottles of Dr. Greene’s

I can safely say to everybody who is
suffering, just give it a trial and you
will be cured. I hope my statement
will find relief for many people who do
not know the benefit of such a wonder-
ful medicine.”
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and

it to the test in your own case and see

Oysters-
The oyster business has received a
bad blow from the State board of
health, says the Journal and Courier.
There is no doubt about that. But
there will bea decided difference of
opinion about the justification of the
blow. And the oyster growers and
sellers will not be the only ones who
will set themselves against the damag-
ing dictum of' the health board. We
have no doubt that Dr. Dibble will
laugh at it, and call forth from his well
stored mind startling facts in support
of his laugh. Some other doctors will
also disagree with the astute and learn-
ed State doctors. And plain people
will ask why it is, if the suspected raw
oysters are the cause of the fever,
everybody who ate Of them isn’t sick.
Learned doctors will perhaps reply to
this that those \only are sick whose
systems were in a condition hospitable
to the devilish fever germs. And some
reckless gentleman may arise and say
that he has eaten diseased‘germs all‘his
life and isn’t dead yet. SO the sum of
accurate and undisputed knowledge
may not be much added to by the rather
unusual prevalence of typhoid fever
and the official explanation of it.
It will certainly be safe until the
scare is over to cook oysters. It is safe
to do that at any time, by the way.
The oyster dealers can relieve them-
selves Of responsibility. by hiring some
scientific gentleman to discover the ex-
act degree of heat necessary to kill ty-
phoid fever germs and spreading the
information among those who are given
to eating oysters. We have little doubt
that they could hire some scientific
gentleman who would feel able to say
there is nothing in. thefiscare but we
.wouldn’t recommend that. That would
look like contempt of the State board
of health, and no such contempt should
be exhibited. It will be better to ad-
vocate the cooking of oysters. Andas
the season of church entertainments
will soon be in full blast the oyster
dealers might benefit both themselves
and the public by buying and publish-
ing a scientific opinion to the effect that
the more oysters there are in a stew
the less likely those who eat it are to
die. Lukewarm and dish watery oyster
stews may well have the condemnation
of science, even if such condemnation
disturbs the harmony: between science
and religion. ~ .

THE INSURANCE CONSPIRACY.
Statement of a. Merchant \Vlno Saw the
Pltzel Children Lem'o St. Louis. '
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 23.—It has been dis-
' covered that two of the children of I). F.
Pltzel, upon whose life insurance was
fraudulently collected from the Fidelity
Life association of Philadelphia. left St.
Louis on Sept. 27 with a man, and that
Mrs. Pitzel gave out erroneous informa-
tion as to where they had gone. The route
out of St. Louis and the time of their dis
appearance were determined by a state-
ment written and signed by a prominent
business man of St. Louis, whose name
Chief of Police Harrlgan refuses to di-
vulge. This man states that he left St.
Louis for Pann, Ills, over the Big Four
route, on Thursday night, Sept. 27. A
man came into the same car, accompanied
by a little boy and a girl called Bessie.
The escort stood up in the aisle beside the
children until the train had left the relay
depot in East St. Louis, where he took a .
seat by the St. Louis merchant and made
himself agreeable. He stated he was a
drummer and was on his way to Phila.
dolphia to collect $10,000 insurance money
on the body of a man killed by an explo-
sion. He had been on to Philadelphia
just before with one of the dead man’s
daughters and had identified the body.
The children he had with him on the
train,wore also children of the dead man,
and he was going to leave them in Cin~
cinnati with relatives. He did not tell
his name. The merchant describes him
as about 5 feet 7 inches high, 25 to 30
years old and weighing apparently about
150 pounds.
A COTTON TRUST SUGGESTED.
The Atlanta Conference 15 In Favor of a
Plan to Control the Price.
ATLANTA, Nov. 22. —An important
meeting of cotton growers. representing
several states, was held in Atlanta. The
growers wore called here to consider a
plan recently suggested by J. T. Roddey,
a cotton broker of New York, for control-
ling the price of cotton.
Hector D. Lane, commissioner of agri-
culture of Alabama, presided. After some
discussion the plan, as announced by Mr.
Roddey, was recommended, Chairman
Lane and one or two others dissenting. A
com’mittee was appointed, consisting of
J. T. Roddey, H. S. Lipscomb of South
Carolina and J. E. Nunnally of Georgia
to call county and state conventions for
the election of delegates to an interstate
convention to be held at a time and place
‘ to be agreed upon by the committee.
Mr. Roddey’s plan, as explained by
him, is to form a combination of the cot-
ton growers, wlth a capital of $50, 000,-
000 or $100, 000,000. Each cotton produ-
cer is to contribute one bale out of every
five grown, to the trust. Estimating the
crop at 8,000,000 bales, this plan would
stock the trust with 1,600,000 bales, the
withdrawal of which from the market, it
is urged, would advance the price 25 per
cent. One general office is proposed, with
branch offices and warehouses at all cote
ton receiving points.
The gins in every county are to be list-
ed, and, if possible, controlled, so as to
make it possible to know the exact pro-
duction and to regulate the supply of cot-
ton. '
In regard to the management of the
company it is proposed to have one gen-
eral office in New York or New Orleans,
with two general directors from each cot~
ton growing state; to have one office in
each state, with one director from finch
county in that state. and to have subofi‘l-
ces in all the principal cities and towns
in the different states. to control the local
cotton. All offices are to be controlled
by the general Offices. A special insur-
ance company is to be organized, or the
present companies are to be brought to a
low rate. Company warehouse receipts
will be issued with insurance policies, and
if the farmer needs money the company
will advance him five-eighths to two-
thirds of the value of his warehouse re‘
celpts.
Burglary at Ridgefield.
RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Nov. 23.—At 3

part hurriedly. They secured only $500
in stamps and $200 in money.‘ There
were three men in the gang, and they es-
caped in a double team after firing at

country would declare diplomatic rela‘
tions with Guatemala at an end.”

Salt Rheum. impure Blood and a
Hacking Cough that Baffled
Physicians, Finally
Cured.
Sprnigfield, Mass, Republican.
In the town of Amherst, Mass, Mr.
Geo. B. Pierce and his mother are
widely known as the proprietors of the
Amherst Creamery Associatinn. Mrs.
.Pierce has been a sufferer for a long
Time With Salt Rheum and a distressing
cough that foreboded Consumption,
but they have given away to health
and vigor. Hearing of this a reporter
called on Mrs. Pierce and the following
experience was related :
“Fora long time I was a sufferer
from Salt Rheum,” said Mrs. Pierce,
“but about two years ago I slipped
and hurt my knee, This seemed to
make my Salt Rheum worse. I can’t
begin to tell the agony I was in, my
limbs became a mass of raw flesh cov-
ered with running sores. My friends
would say they were afraid I would not
live too see 'another spring, and
thought so too. Well I heard of Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy and
Dr. David Kennedy’s Salt Rheum
Cream ; I sent for them and commenced
using them, and in three weeks I could
walk out of doors. Why, last night I
walked a mile and I am sixty-three
years of age. _It shows that Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy and Salt
Rheum Cream can do more than the
physicians, for they made me well after
my doctors told me I was incurable. I
must also tell you of another preparation
Dr. Kennedy advised me to use, which
did as much for me. It is Dr. David
Kennedy’s Cherry Balsam. I have had
a wretched cough for the past fifteen
years, the best doctors in this part of
the state united in saying that it was
incurable, and that it was only a mat-
ter Of time before my lungs would give
out—my sleep was restless, I would lie
awake for hours. I well recollect the
first time I nsed Dr. Kennedy’s Cherry
Balsam. It relieved my throat at once,
andil slept all through that night, which
was the first full night’s rest I had in
several years. It seemed like a miracle.
Itook but two bottles of Cherry Bal-
sam when I was entirely cured.
Mrs. Pierce’s neighbors confirm her
statement, and it was found that Dr.
Kennedy‘s Favorite Remedy, Cherry
Balsam and Salt Rheum Cream had
made others in Amherst as happy by
curing them of some disease.
Favorite Remedy ranks with the
medical profession as the most perfect
of all blood and nerve medicines. It
restores the liver to a healthy condi-
tion, and cures constipation. It isa
certain cure for all diseases and weak-
nesses peculiar to females, and affords
protection from attacks that originate
in change of life. It cures scrofula,
salt rheum, ulcers tumors, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, all kidney, bladder and
urinary disease, gravel, diabetes and
Bright’s disease. In this last disease
it has made many cures where all else
failed.
Dr. David Kennedy’s Cherry Balsam
will cure the worst cases Of asthma,
bronchitis. coughs, colds, incipient
consumption, whooping cough or
croup. Taken in connection with Fe.-
vorite Remedy, it has never been
known to fail. Price 25¢. 500 and $1.00
a bottle. Dr. David Kennedy’s Salt
Rheum Cream is for external applica-
tion and is sold at 500 a package. Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
costs $1.00 a bottle or six bottles for
$5.00 '
Full directions accompany each
bottle so that any one can readily un-
derstand just how to take them for the
different complaints.

LIKE A MIRACLE.
FOR GROWING GIRLS.
Charming Frocks of Cloth and Silk That
Mord Pcrf'cct‘Fr-cedom.
A fair amount of thought gees to the
successful composing of a-costumc for the
wear of a growing girl. The gift of fore-
sight is rather ono’of cultivation than an
endowment of some fairy godmother at
birth, but the predisposition to it must be,
innate. Care for the comfort and well be-
ing of the youthful wearer is the true in-
spiration, and this affection makes many
clever in such matters who would not
shine elsewhere.‘
A good way of providing for develop-
ment of frame is to have the bodices gath-
ered, the lining being made with a few
plaits, which can be let out as necessity
arises. This avoids the tightness that is
so injurious to any human creature, but
especially to one whose growth is not com-
plete. Some of these full bodices are adapt-
ed to wearing over silk blouses, lined to
sufficient warmth at the neck and in the
sleeves. A dark blue serge is thus made,
with the blouse and sleeves in bright car~

The collar follows the fashion of that for
adult wear in being'of the “rolled” vari-
ety. Stiff ones have quite gone out for the
wear of young girls, and it is well that it
is so. For even the fully grown neck this
ultra stiffened “gorget” is injurious. How
much worse must it be for the growing
one! '

Suggestions For Useful Gifts to Clever
Wielders of the Needle.
An English writer, referring to the ap-
proaching holiday season, very sensibly
remarks that in the present depressed
times it is a good idea to give useful gifts.
Almost every one has some relative with
excellent taste and some means, but with-
out tlic ability to gratify some of the little
luxurious fancies that all women delight
in. A woman of this sort is to receive as
a Christmas gift a dainty silk petticoat.
It is something that; she would not feel
able to buy for herself, and one of her
friends has at a sale found just the mate-
rial for this most welcome addition to a. not
very well stocked wardrobe. It is not by
any means a good plan to present ordinary
articles of wearing apparel unless one is
absolutely certain of the taste of tho recip-
ient. Many a Woman has worn a hide~
ously unbecoming dress or bonnet simply
because some one gave it to her and she
felt she must wear it.
Time was when one might select one’s
apparel at random, but taste has of late
become so artistic that this sort of thing
é-

does not answer at all. However, there
are certain articles, such as slippers and
gloves, where it is hardly possible to go
wrong, provided proper size is known.
Veils, fichus and belts are also generally
acceptable gifts, while for a member of
one’s immediate. family an article of fine
underwear mgy be chosen.
There are many dainty accessories of the
toilet that constitute appropriate gifts.
The collars illustrated, for instance, could
be made at home by a. deft handed person
and would be awelcome addition to many
awoman’s costume. The_ first collar is
