 W. T. Hatch & Sons at their office in New York and their office in this city, 2s6 ChapeI street, under the management of George Wykes jr., offer to the public the per cent.
 bonds of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. These bonds commend themselves to all financial men as first-class investment, safe, reliable and se
 cure, and the attention of gentlemen having the management of funds in trust, trustees of public institutions, and all desirous of mak- ing investments offering unimpeachabIe se- curity is called to the fact that these bonds are now for sale by the above noted banking house, which has control of them. The bonds are secured by first mortgage which is the only mortgage-on the main hne of this double tracked railroad, from it's junction with the Harlem railroad to Springfield Mass. The amount of the present issue is $2 900, GOO. Application has
 been made to list them on the New York Stock Exchange. Five millions is the total amount authorized The bonds are register ed in denominations of $1 900 and $5, 900, payable June 1, 1903, with semi annual in- terest at four per cent. per annnum. The capital stock of the road is $15, ,00O, ,OOO-the per cent value of the road $2S, ,0O0, ,000,-a magnificent security for an issue even of | $5, ,OOO, GOO.

 the road last year. The bonds are, moreover,
 exempt from taxation by the State law. It is g
 strictly legal investment for savings banks | and holders of trust funds and no better se-
 curity can be offered to the most conserva-
 tive investor. The bonds are unquestiona
 ply as safe as United States government

The new dining room has five times the capacity of the form CT one, and the seating capacity will be ade- quate to the largest gathering that visits the beach. There will be two concerts daily by the Osprey string and brass band. This band secured for the season is first class and will discourse unusually fine music.

"WIL SONIA" Magnetic Appliances

The inventor of our appliances at their first introduction prescribed pieces as ne- cessary to permeate the entire system with magnetism and thus obtain cure. These have been called our body suit, and agents have been required to insist upon the entire suit in their sales as the reputation of the Wilsonia was at stake in the matter. In many cases even greater number of appliances seemed necessary. It has been 8 matter which 1t has been impossible to decide only by experiment. In few instances recently we have learned that half the number of pieces have wrought great relief. Even the belt alone. The Wilsonia Magnetic Clothing Go. have decided not to limit their agents any longer as to the amount of appliances, as they regard the success of the Wilsonia for the past three years in curing chronic dis eases as PLACED BEYOND ALL CUES TION, so that if one. two or three appi ances do not cure the six or more pieces will, if curable. So it is safe for the company now to allow the patient to buy as few pieces as they choose, and then add more if 1t is necessary. So we suggest that now during the warm season those suffering from Catarrh should try the Belt, Insoles and Sleeping Cap. We now honestly think they may cure and can be worn during the warm season without discomfort, and are more effective. and if not sufficient to complete cure 1t will be easy to add more on the return of cooler weather And so with dyspepsia, the belt alone cover ing the liver and stomach has given great relief. So in all cases of general debility. Adopt this plan. If chronic disease can be cured with half the amount of appliances and at half the expense, we should be glad to know. it, as certainly all chronic sufferers will

The veterans in uniform will turn out 8 large body.
 The veterans last evening voted to ask Capt. Arnold to call out the commands for Sundays memorial day parade at 4 o'clock, | instead of at 2, and thus avoid the heat ot

 A liberal contribution of flowers for the
 Sunday memorial honors to the dead is hoped l fnr.
