A Disputed Question.
Scientists and electricians
cannot
agree upon the number of electric voltg_.,
“ NORWALK‘ HOSPITAL,
which are neCessary to cause a cessation
of life in the human body; some claim
that an excessiveshock is more‘ likely
to cause incineration rather than in-
stantaneous death, but if they would
turn their attention to prolonging and
increasing the pleasure of life, the pub-
lic would hail the result with more
satisfaction. For instance, the electri-
city generated in a wave of laughter is
after all the most pleasant shock, and
to see a large assemblage moved by a
current of uncontrollable mirth while
witnessing the play of “She Couldn’t
Marry Three,” places beyond dispute
the fact that large volts of laughter are
better than volts of electricity any day.
A Novel Idea.
It is free, and deeply interests every—
body who has aches or pains. or who is

surest and quickest means to get strong
and well by accepting that splendid
free offer of the great specialist in cur-
ing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr.
Greene, of 35 West 14th.. St., New York
City. He has established ;a system of
letter correspondence through which
all sick and suffering people can learn
exactly what ails them. and how to get
well, without expense and without.
leavrng their homes. Allthey have to
do is to write to the Doctor, stating
each symptom from. which they are
suffering, and he will answer their let
'ter, explaining their-case thoroughly,
telling just what the trouble is and
what to do to be cured. . He glycs the
greatest care and attei’rtion to .evm'v
letter, and tells the Cause of each
symptom so plainly that patients un~
derstand instantly just what ails inning
And all this costs nOthing. ' "It is a
splendid opportunity for" those who
cannot afford the time or expense to go
to the city., Dr. Greene makes a speci-
alty of curing patients throlli'gh letter
correspondence. He is the most suc.
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and is the diécoverer

Minnie Lester will open her engage-
ment in Norwalk Monday evening, in
Annette the Dancing Girl. During the
week of her engagement there will be
six new plays produced. It may be
said, to the merit of this organization,
that though they play at popular prices
the plays are all new and the special-
ties up to date, and then there is that
famous orchestra at every performance.
Hox'r’s OPERA HOUSE.
Mr. Daily’s company appearing at
Hoyt’s Opera House Saturday evening,
is unquestionably the finest organiza-
tion that ever visited Norwalk. The

ing mention. Mrs. Barry, Misses Has-
well, Hansen, Upham, and Catherine
Lewis and Messrs. William Owen,
Leclercq, Carlyle. Elwood, McLaugh-
lin, and others of celebrity.
The same perfection of detail that
has made the name of Augustin Daly
synonymous with all that is briiliant in
stage management, will characterize the
production here.
