Sullivan, the famous "Big Tim" of the Bowery, who was elected a mem ber of Congress from this State, but never served because of illhealth. "Big Tim" had dropped out of sight for ten days before the fact was made public, and fears were felt for his life. The big politician was confined for a time in a sanitarium for mental trou ble. A "few months ago he went to Europe for his health in charge of male nurses and was apparently in his right mind. H& returned recently and lived at the home of his brother. These pictures show how he looked a few years ago when he weighed 230 pounds and as he looked -when he re turned from Europe, when he had fallen away to 180.

Special at A DESERTEB VILLAGE OF MODERN DATS ADVERTISE IN THE FARMER. (Hartford Times.) In the portheastern part of Con necticut, only a few miles from' sev eral prosperous towns, is the little vil lage having the Indian- name, Apa- quge. This village is also ceUed "Ford -Ned," owing' to tradition, which speaks of a man called "Ned" who used to ford the stream before a bridge was Dunt. Whichever road leading to this lo cality taken, it can be reached only By way of steep hilisxwhich slope down to it from every side. The most attractive road occupies a narrow space between a winding stream and steep hillside which meets! the highway- at a sharp angle. In early summer, people passing can look! upwards for several .feet at a bank ofi laurel, wild rose awd - verdure and! down at a clear blue stream, which i leads to a mill pond In whose waters are reflected the foliage of surround ing trees, ( , Few i eople visit th'fr region. An oc casional fisherman comes to the pond; lovers of romantic scenery drive tnis way; artis- come at d take away on canvas memories for future days. But whoever comes cannot fail to be im pressed with a sense -of loneliness and departed jcys. The rows of houses which formerly stood by the mill i ond are now simply heaps of ruins. The location of for mer woolen mills is marked by mason ry, the dam and old flume. The bridge nearby is fast going to decap. A sense ofperil comes to one as he crosses the rickety timbers during the spring months, when a ruahing stream pours over the dam, then hastens onward v.nder the rattling woodwork wasting the energy formerly a source of water power for two busy mills. Many people, perhaps some readers of this article, can recall the time when Apaquage was a thriving little townjr the scene of happy village life. The woolen mills operated by Charles Hilbert employed many people. The' houses, now in ruins, were occupied by happy families. A boarding house stood near the mill. The employees of the mills, mostly young people, in the evening congre gated on the wool flakes and made the surrounding hills echo with their song. ..During the winter skating par ties and dances were enjoyed young folks from surrounding towns coming to Apaquage to join m the merry mak ing. .Sleigh bells rang merrily on the air, as, with happy voices, sleighing parties started oh long journeys over the snow. Former residents recall one evening when a merry group walking about the village noticed a horse and sleigh by one of the village houses. The own er of the conveyance was calling on hte sweetheart. The girls of the company besought the young man who was act ing as their escort to give them a eleigh ride. With grave misgivings for he didn'lknow how to drive) the young man yielded to- feminine plead ings. The patient horse was stealthily taken and with subdued screamg of de light the party clambered into the sleigh. For awile all went well. Sud denly, in crossing a water bar the sleigh overturned, and the occupants found themselves in a ditch by the roadside. In dismay, at this exhibi tion of their driver's ignorance of horsemanship, the girls deserted, leav ing their forlorn -escort to return, placs the abused horse in his former posi tion of martyrdom, and silenUy depart into the darkness. The scene of the overturned sleigh was near a house owned and erected by Charles Hilbert. This house was built on a luxurious plan. Its furnish ings, driveway and park were both costly and beautiful. Deer were kept in the park, lawr graded and care fully cared for, and the owner of the mansion dispensed hospitality to many guests. For a few years prosperity reigned, then the mills were closed. Soon after wards the beautiful mansion was de stroyed by fire. All that remains is a foundation of stone, fallen chimneys and decayed fruit trees. The,mills are silent now, the village deserted.

M. M. A. o Dull Moments Poll's Hew Theatre There is not a dull moment with the actors at the New Poli's in the semi-weekly bill which was presented for the first time yesterday, in fact it is the best bill presented by Man ager Poll since the regular season opened. Of the half dozen sketches at least three could be billed as head liners while ". one of the others is a first class runner-up. "The Sylphonic Nine," another of B. A. Rolfe's musical productions ap peared to merit the most applause. This act presents eight proficient men and women who perform skilful upon the string and brass instruments. With them also is Miss Lola Wentworth, a former opera comedy star who sang delightfully. Bert Melrose, a Bridgeport product, returned to his own last evening. Bert has a better act than ever and had the audiences in constant laughter with his rather silly actions. Bert still does his famous flow with the five tables and yet lives to tell the tale. He's the only acrobat on the stage who is willing to take a chance with the five tables the most other others will manipulate being four. An intensely dramatic sketch deal ing with a family incident of great hu man interest is presented by J. K. Em mett and company. Complications arise which involve the wife and a former admirer and the ever suspect ing husband. The piece is intensely interesting. Morris and Allen, Irish and Jew comedians, have a nifty line of talk and better songs. They ar.e a -real bright pair and had loads of good stuff which they were not afraid to present. They drew many a hearty laugh. Zeno and Mandell a man and a wom an have a great time kidding them selves especially the heavy female member. They have a piano out of which they manager to extract a lot of melody assisted by their own songs. The audience liked them. .. Adelaide 'Estee, opera singer, offers several popular melodies which went well. "The Awakening of a Man" was fea tured in the photo play put on be tween the first and second performances. WIDE DIFFERENCE OF ESTIMATE BATH HOUSE SITE James Feeley and J. H. Crossley, appraisers named for the city to set a valuation on land at the foot ot Seaview avenue, which it Is proposed to condemn and take as a site for a public bath house, differ widely in the value they place' on the property. Mr. Feeley thinks it is worth $18,775. Crossley sets the value at $23,120. The property in question is owned by Ernst C. Adams, Leopold Weiss and Charles G. Schwartz. There are two dwelling houses on the property. The reports of the appraisers were submitted last night at a meeting of the miscellaneous committee of the Common Council. The members of the committee were rather surprised at the valuation placed on the proper ty and after some discussion they vot ed to place the matter on the table. It is likely that the committee will recommend to the Council that anoth er site be considered. The committee voted to report to the Common Council at its next meet ing recommending the purfchase 'of the property of the McMahon estate on Main street-for a public park. The property is bounded by Main and Catherine streets and Washington ave nue. Should the council accept the reDort of the committee, the matter will be referred to- the Park Commis sioners' with instructions to make requisition in their, annual budget for the purchase price. INVEIGLES FISH BY A GLASS BOWL Basa Come ,Up To Watch Shiners Swimming Inside. D. At note, is Norfolk, Sept. 12 Harry wood, a local fisherman of using a novel method of attracting bass and . other fish in the Norfolk lakes and ponds. Mr. Atwood's outfit consists of a large glass bowl which is filled with shiners, the top covered with mosquito netting. The device is then lowered to the bottom of the lake and the angler then ' endeavors to tempt the fish whji swarm around the bowl with the ctfftomary baits. Mr. Atwood ascribes much of his success this summer to the idea. W0W0MF0N TRIBE WILL . HAVE 11TH BIRTHDAY ON WEDNESDAY SEPT 24 After the regular meeting of Wo wompon tribe, I. O. R.

LATE SUMMER ADVERTISING. Clearance sales of dry goods, cloth ing and other necessities are a rft: lar feature of trade.
