George Bohn, the mason contractor,
who recently returned from a two
months' tour In France and Germany,
speaks highly of his visit. Mr. Bohn,
although a German, at the time of the
Franco-German war resided in the
province of Alsace, then in the posses
sion of France,, and was obliged to
serve in the French army. ' He was
captured by the Germans at Metz and
placed in a military prison. On his re
cent visit he went to the battlefield of
Metz. In that city he recognized the
house In which he saw Napoleon III.
He says the towns with which he was
familiar have changed considerably,
especially Strasburg, which occupies
twice its former area. Mr. Bohn visit
ed the exposition grounds at Paris. He
says the buildings are not yet con
structed and the managers will be
obliged to hustle to get the fair ready
by 1900. The preparations are of a
vast magnitude and Mr. Bohn says it
will be well worth the expense and
trouble for Americans to attend it. Mr.
Bohn went up in the Eiffel tower, and
visited many prominent places In Par
is. He formerly resided for several
years In Paris and speaks French as
well as German. He has many rela
tives In Paris, as well as Alsace, where
he was born.
Miss Hattie M. Gibbons of 106 Wol
cott street and E. "V. Andrews of 165
Dixwell avenue were married Monday
evening.
The schools in the Fair Haven dis
tricts closed yesterday at noon and un
til Monday morning for the Thanksgiv
ing vacation. In the Ezekiel Cheever
school donations were made by the pu
pils for the poor.
The lecture course of Grace P. E.
church was begun Tuesday evening,
when a good sized audience gathered
In the new paish house to listen to the
lecture of Rev. Percy Barnes on "Ben
Hur," illustrating the story of Lew
Wallace. The story opens with the
Eastern travelers, the discovery of the
place where Christ was born, the Joppa
market, the arrival of the magi, and
Herod and the magi, with other inci
dents In the early life of the Saviour.
The remainder of the eiory is a por
trayal of the people and the land of
Judeai in the days of the Messiah, as
given In the book, Ben Hur. Mr. Barnes
evinced considerable skill In cutting
down the story to the limit of the lec
ture hour and his portrayal was very
interesting. The lecture was fully illus
trated by pictures covering an area of
ninety square feet and were shown by
Edward R. Miller of East Pearl street.
The next lecture, next Tuesday even
ing will be on "An Evening With
Charles Dickens." Cake and cream
was sold by the ladies after the lec
ture. Single admlsiBon tickets are fif
teen cents, and children ten cents.
"How is this?' 'inquired a citizen yes
terday. "I understand that Highway
Commissioner Macdonald issued a cir
cular last evening prohibiting further
work on the highways for this season,
as the cold weather would Injure the
work, and yet men are hardening the
roadway up East Grand avenue hill. I
don't understand It."
The inquirer was Informed that the
work in question was not on a state
road and the highway commissioner
had no jurisdiction there. The East
Grand avenue job extends from the old
Shore Line railroad crossing, near the
Second Congregational church, to the
top of the hill on the Heights, and it Is
the first time that section of road has
been worked by the town. During the
summer and fall the upper portion of
the section was cut down and graded,
and Is now being hardened with
crushed stone, and the work is nearly
finished. The city's roadroller was
borrowed to do the hardening. This is
probably the last piece of highway im
provement to be undertaken by the se
lectmen, for after the December elec
tion their supervision of the town high
ways ceases under the new charter,
but their last piece of new road is cer
tainly a creditable job.
This being Thanksgiving day busi
ness will be quite generally suspended
and most of the stores will close at
noon. Station A will close at noon, op
ening for an hour in the evening, from
7 to 8 o'clock, and only one delivery
will be made by the carriers.
Union religious services will be held
OPENS HIS EYES.
A Practical Test to Olscover How
Coffee Affects One.
Probably no one thing will more pro
foundly startle a man than to find out
by actual proof what coffee drinking Is
doing for him. When he realizes that
day after day the physical machinery
Is not working right he naturally casts
about for the cause in order to stop It
before it goes too far.
: But to locate the cause is frequently
beyond the power of himself and even
his physician. If such cases can be in
duced to drop coffee and other narcotic
drugs like tobacco, etc., for a short
period and use Postum Cereal Food
Coffee, the truth is brought home in un
mistakable terms.
The need of a pure cereal coffee for
humanity was the active cause for the
discovery of Postum. Plenty of "Coffee
Substitutes" existed, but their unpala
table taste prevented their use.
It required over a year of experiment
to discover how to select the proper
carts of cereals and roast them in such
, a way as to give the taste of a mild
and high grade Java coffee and yet pre
serve the entire purity and food value.
Postum now has imitators that throw
samples about, which claim to be pure
"grain," "wheat" or "cereal coffee," but
careful test and Investigation shows
that every article of that sort which
has any distinctive coffee flavor is sim
ply a cheap, low grade, adulterated cof
fee; a counterfeiter cares little what
goes into a customer's stomach. The
analysis of Postum Is furnished the
Pure Food Commissioners and Physi
cians of various states, and it is known
to be absolutely pure and highly nutri
tive. Ten days' use of the genuine Postum,
properly boiled, fifteen minutes after
boiling commences, tells surprising tales
to partly sick men and women.
HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the
Rapid Increase of Heart
Troubles.
Io Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cuuse.
Heart troubles, at least among Amer
icans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex
citement and worry of American busi
ness life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is Incura
ble; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trou
ble and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by branches of
the same great nerves, the Sympathetic
and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the distend
ed stomach on the heart and lungs, in
terfering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the Mnncl,
makes it thin and watery, which Irri
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to Improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleasant
and effectice digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive el
ements In a pleasant, 'convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular, per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble, except cancer of
stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets
sold by druggists at 50 cents.

will also be held this morning at Grace
P. E. church.
There will be a- big family gathering
at the old Morris homestead, Morris
Cove, to-day. It is expected that fully
fifty people will be present at the
Thanksgiving dinner.
PENNSYLVANIA VS. CORNELL TO
DAY. The Orange-Elizabeth Tie of Three
Years to be Decided at Orange How
the Teams Will Dine Up.
To-day marks the close of the foot
ball season of 1897, a season that has
abounded in many surprises and many
well-fought contests. Most of the big
elevens have played their last games
and gone out of training, and the out
come of to-day's matches will have lit
tle bearing on the standing of the vari
ous teams. Pennsylvania and Cornell
will play their annual game at Franklin
Field, Philadelphia; the Orange and
Elizabeth Athletic clubs will endeavor
to settle the question of supremacy that
three tie games has left in doubt at
Orange Oval; Wesleyan and Brown will
line up at Providence, and Lafayette
and Lehigh will play at South Bethle
hem. The Pennsylvania-Cornell game is the
most important to the general football
world. Pennsylvania shares with Yale
the right to first place for the year, and
the outcome should help furnish an op
portunity for determining what place
Cornell holds.

ESSAYS ON TOBACCO.
Secretary of Agriculture To Offer
Money Prizes.
The secretary of agriculture purposes
issuing a, series of farmers' bulletins on
tobacco, and has sent out a circular
soliciting contributions from experts
on the methods of cultivation, on the
export tobaccos of Kentucky and Ten
nessee and on the marketing of tobacco.
He promises to reward those whose
contributions are accepted at the rate
of $15 per 1,000. words, but suggests
that no one essay should contain more
than 10,000 words. The papers are to
be submitted to the secretary not later
than March 31, 1898.
The circular issued gives the follow
ing directions for proceeding with the
work:
1. Methods of Cultivation This
should treat of practical work as done
in the different districts, as follows:
Selecting the seed, the seedbed and how
prepared in the different tobacco dis
tricts; the time and manner of sowing
the seed; the time and manner of set
ting out the plants; the cultivation, fer
tilization, topping and cutting; protec
tion from insects and diseases.
2. Expert tobacco of Kentucky and
Tennessee This should treat particu
larly of the types and characteristics
of tobaccos adapted to each of the dif
ferent foreign markets; the methods of
curing, sorting, fermenting and pack
ing, with recommendations for such
changes in these methods as will insure
an increased price for the products.
3. The Marketing of Tobacco This
should be treated from the commercial
side; (a) cigar leaf; (b) manufacturing
smoking, plug, cigarettes; (c) export.
This should include particularly the
grading and packing of the different
types with suggestions as to improve
ments in existing methods.
The price offered is a third more than
is usually paid by the department, and
it is hoped that the increased rate will
stimulate practical men to take up the
work.

annals of Orange to have a lecturer of
such distinction as Dr. Croffut in the
old town. He created a sensation in
Brooklyn, last Sunday, where he spoke
to an immense audience.
Dr. Croffut arrived in Orange Wed

UBe a fsoft Tooth ISrustf.
Many people do not know that a soft
tooth brush Is far better than a harsh
one. Don't get a harsh brush and
then grind and scratch the beautiful
enamel of your teeth with a gritty den
tifirice. Always buy a soft brush and
use Pearlo-dento, the ideal tooth paste.
You will find that Pearlo-dento clean
ses the mouth thoroughly and polish
es the enamel without grinding it Be
sides this, the medicinal properties of
Pearlo-dento will have a beneficial ef

Pearlo-dento does more than clean
the teeth. It stimulates tne gums, ar
rests the decomposition of food in the
mouth and neutralizes the acids that
encourage decay. It is delicious in

CONNECTICUT IN THE WAR.
This State Furnished 25 Per Cent. More
Than Its Quota.
Ex-Congressman W. E. Simonds,
judge advocate on the staff of Depart
ment Commander G. D. Bates of the
Grand Army in this state, made a
speech of great interest and Importance
at Robert O. Tyler post hall, Hartford,
recently, after the Inspection of the
post. It was a new line of thought and
inquiry which he pursued, reviewing
the statistics concerning the men In the
army and navy of the Union during the
war. In part, Mr. 'Simonds said:
"I am mindful of the remark which
a man made upon one occasion to the
effect that 'there are lies, damned lies
and statistics,' but nevertheless I am
going to indulge in a few figures. I am
first going to inquire how many men
actually served in the Union army and
navy during the Civil war, and how
many are probably alive now.
"The whole number of enlistments in
the army and navy during the Civil
war was 2,865,028, but each enlistment
does not represent a single man. In a
great number of cases the same man
enlisted twice, three times and even
four times. It is impossible to ascertain
accurately the number and extent of
these plural enlistments, but there is
a means by which it can be ascertained
approximately. The quota of Con
necticut, in the Civil war, was
44,797 enlistments, but she furnished
55,764, which was 25 per cent, more than
her quota, in which respect she stands
unapproached by any other state, as,
in the same regard, she was not ap
proached by any other state in the war
of the Revolution. Of these 55,864 enlist
ments, 43,199 were in regimental organi
zations and fit for the examination to
which they subjected them. Our adju
tant general issued a few years ago, a
very complete catalogue of the volun
teer forces of Connecticut. Among
other things he sought to ascertain
and state briefly, the whole record of
each man, including his plural enlist
ments, whenever he could ascertain
them. There is no separate table of
these plural enlistments in this cata
logue, but with some assistance I have
examined the record of each of these
43,199 enlistments, and I find that out
of 43,1939 enlistments, 5,803 were plural
enlistments, the plural enlistments be
ing is 4-10 per cent, of the whole.
"Now let us apply the Connecticut
index to the whole. The whole number
of enlistments was 2,865,028. By the
Connecticut index, the number of men
who made these enlistments was 2,481,
114. Of these, 359,528 were disposed of
by -th and 100,000 by desertion before
the close of the war, leaving 2,021,586
surviving at the end. Now taking
thirty-one and one-half years (the mid
dle point of the " military age) as
the average age of the war and reck
oning from April 15, 1863, the middle
point of the war, then according to the
American tables used by life insurers,
the number of living survivors April
15, 1890, was 1,158,666.
"And by the same table the last sur
vivor will die in 1926."
A LOCAL TRADING STAMP CO.
Ansonia Merchants Get Together and
Discuss the Question.
Ansonia, Nov. 23. The merchants of
Ansonia held a meeting, Monday eve
ning, to consider the advisability of
forming an association similar to the
one organized in Derby, for the hand
ling of trading stamps. The matter
was discussed in all its phases, but no
conclusions were reached. It looks as
though, if the merchants do not form
an association of their own, many will
unite with the merchants of Derby.
Nothing has been heard from the la
test Bridgeport company, since the Der
by merchants decided to form an or
ganization of their own, and it seems to
be the general opinion that this latest
company, which was to open a store in
Derby, and which several of the An
sonia merchants expected to Join, has
given up the idea, because of the for
mation of the local organization.
Some of the Ansonia merchants will
not join any trading stamp organiza
tion at present, believing that they will
in the long run succeed better without
it. What the result will be is hard to
guess. Many people seem very anxious
to secure stamps and will trade only
at such stores as use them, but there
are others who will" not trade at such
a store if they can secure what they
wish elsewhere, and the question is
which are in the majority.

BOWEN BRINGS SUIT.
Against A. S. Quint and County Sher
iffsPlaintiff Claims $5,000 for Defa
mation of Character.
Meriden, Nov. 24. Lieutenant of Po
lice C. B. Bowen has brought suit
against' A. S. Quint of this city, Sher
iff Spiegel and his deputy, Lewis Koon
of New Haven, for $5,000, on the ground
that his arrest was illegal.
Constable Downs went to New Ha
ven this afternoon to attach the sher
iffs' bodies.
Lieutenant Bowen, through his at
torney, Frank S. Fay, makes the
charges on the writ as follows:
That his arrest was Irregular and il
legal as it stated that the writ is re
turnable to the superior court on the
fourth Tuesday in September. There is
no such return day; Sheriff Koon also
failed to make his return to the court,
and on this failure the arrest of the
plaintiff is an assault.
Lieutenant Bowen was arrested on
September 8 on a civil writ and Mayor
Coe went his bonds for $5,000,

Fire in Wallingford Does Damage
Amounting to $5,000.
Wallingford, Conn., Nov. 24. The
greenhouses of George H. JElowden, the
well-known florist, were practically ru
ined this morning, causing a loss on
buildings and stock estimated at about
$5,000. The Are broke out in that part
of the plant used as an office and work
ing department. The loss on the build
ing is $1,500 and on the stock, the pro
duct of five years, $3,500.
The origin of the fire is not known,
although shortly after the discovery of
the Are a man, probably a tramp, was
seen near the place. It Is thought that
the man may have entered the nursery
to keep warm.

Montreal, Nov. 24. The Intercolonial
railway has purchased one of the mam
moth locomotives exhibited by the Bald
win Iron Works at the world's fair at
Chicago in 1S93. The locomotive is one
of the largest and most powerful in the

used in Canada. It was brought from
Chicago over the Grand Trunk, and
was subsequently sent down to Levis
for the Intercolonial. It is not decided
what section of the road it will run

ADA REHAN TO-NIGHT AT. HYPE
RION. Miss Ada Rehan will commence a
three nights' engagement at the Hype
rion to-night,-when she will appear as
"Beatrice" in "Much Ado About Noth
ing;" appearing on Friday evening in
"School for Scandal," with Miss Rehan
as "Lady Teazle," and on Saturday
matinee and night as "Viola" in the
"Twelfth Night." The Hartford Post
says: Miss Ada Rehan is one of the
best exponents of Shakespearean come
dy living,, and it is largely by her work
that comparisons are made. She was
perfectly at home in her part last even
ing, and, while it is hot so celebrated as
some of her others, she aroused genu
ine enthusiasm, especially in her splen
did anger in the sene in the church with
Benedict, which brought forth a double
recall. It has been wen said that to
see Ada Rehan act, Is like a taste of
old wine to a connoisseur, and the
sweet voice and eaucy toss of the chin,
which went so far toward her first suc
cess, are still in evidence, and aid her
artistic and finished portrayal of a part.
Charles Richmond made a splendid
Benedict. He looked the part, and act
ed with so much ease and freedom from
mannerism, so apt to creep into Shakes
peare's character's, that his perform
ance was delightful. He was especially
strong in his challenge to Claudio, and
in his monologue In the first act.
Miss Nancy Mcintosh was very pretty
and effective as Hero, and Mrs. Gilbert
was welcomed as warmly as usual in
her dainty and old-fashioned comedy.
John Craig left something to be desired
as Claudio; he did not give the part
quite the necessary manliness anddigni.
ty it calls for.
William Owen as uogDerry, ana Ty
rone Power as , Don Pedo, were both
good, and Sydney Herbert made an ex
cellent Don John.
Mr. Daly is noted for the mounting of
bis plays, and that of last evening
proved no exception to the rule. The
audience was a large and brilliant one
and made an attractive setting to the
play.
The sale of seats is now open. Prices,
matinee, $1.50, $1.00, 75c. Evening, $2.00,
$1.50.
The handsome new drop , curtain
painted by Blakeslee and Thomas, the

for the Hyperion, will be rung down for
the first time at the conclusion of the
first act to-night.

"UNDER THE POLAR STAR."
The production "Under the Polar
Star," which will be seen at the Grand
opera house this afternoon and the re
mainder of the week, is claimed to be
the most costly and elaborate stage
spectacle ever given in this country.
The first act of the play shows the
study of Silas Hamilton on Brooklyn
Heights on the eve of the departure of
his" ship, the "Polar Star," for the north.
The aged man entrusts the command of
the expedition to his' brother, an able
Arctic explorer, John Hamilton, who Is
assisted by the Hamlltons' two neph
ews, William Brandon and Harry Carle
ton, who are enlisted respectively as
navigating officer and surgeon of the
vessel. Both are In love with Hamil
ton's ward, Helen Blaine, who unfor
tunately favors the suit of Brandon. In
an altercation with the latter Silas
Hamilton, in a state of anger, falls into
a fit of apoplexy, and in the hurry and
confusion Brandon contrives to substi
tute poison for the medicine prescribed

by Carleton. The boom of cannon an- .
nounces the Immediate sailing of tha .
ship. No one suspects the fatal Illness)
of Hamilton, and they depart, leaving j
the old man to his fate. Upon these
facts the story of the play is laid. The
succeeding acts show the "Polar Star"
well up in the Arctic seas, the crushing
of the Ice leaving the ship to almost
certain destruction; the ship in winter
quarters, the firing of the vessel by
Brandon and the mutineers, and finally
the few survivors adrift and alone upon
the icebergs. Finally the Ice breaks up
and all hope is lost. A prayer is offered
up and preparations are made for the
certain death. Suddenly frpm afar a
whistle is heard. It Is the relief boat.
It steams along, and in the nick of
time all are rescued. This scene is
most elaborate and impressive, and la
confidently expected to create a genuine
sensation.

Washington, writes: "I was taken ill in Feb.
rnary, 1893, with headache and pain in my back.
I called ui a doctor and he came three times.
He said I was bilious, but I kept getting worse.
I took a cough so that I could only sleep when
propped op in bed. My lungs hurt mc and I got
so poor that I was just skiD and bone. J thought
I was going to die. I tried a bottle of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it did
me so much good that I tried another one
and it made me strong and well. It saved
my life."
