A Cooking Main.

There was cooking main last night at 8 resort well known to Waterburians and not fifty miles distant. The fight was between Connecticut and Massachusetts and at this morning the outlook was favorable for Con- necticut. There were birds present from this city, New Haven, Hartford, Springfield and other places. There was $25 on each
 battle and $1OO on the main. A good many went from this city. A great deal of whis- key was drunk, innumerable cigars con- sumed and the air made blue by hot talking. It was an elevating affair and one which the good old commonwealth of Connecticut may justly feel proud of when even her birds aid in maintaining her prestige. It was admira bly, arranged as to secrecy, none but fav- ored few having the least idea of the affair
 Later intelligence leaves the matter somewhat
 in doubt as to the championship. At 8.
 m. Massachusetts claimed it and Connecti-
 cut claimed it and finally the two grand old States just went for each other and had 8 regular rough and tumble row, in which per | sonal interests were more intimately involved
 than State rights. There were about BOG persons present, including sporting men from | all parts of the country Waterbury Anae7i | cHlL

Renumbaring Houses.
Many Friends of an Improved System
 New Haven.

Many Friends of an Improved system for New Haven.
 The matter of improving the entire system of numbering the houses and lots in New Haven has for years been more or less dis cussed by members of the Common Council and the action of the Aldermen Monday evening with regard to re-numbering Chapel and other streets brings the subject again prominently into notice. Years ago the plan was somewhat advocated by few Al. dermen of having all the streets so number ed that each block should have an even one hundred numbers, This is like the Philadel- phia plan and has been found exceedingly convenient. It is easy for 8 stranger to know that if number which he wants is, say 960, that it will be found about nine and 8 hall blocks from the point where the numbering commences. This much simplifes the worA of finding people in a large city. The em barrassment and loss of business caused by having two sets of numbers on Chapel street have been understood by the merchants on that thoroughfare for 8 long time and it now appears that the city is in way to have a good system supplant the old fashioned happy-go- lucky way in which property own ers have formerly numbered buildings.

In San Francisco three of the leading physicians ained her and pronounced the lump she had felt in her side for about three years an ovarian tumor. They said that before operation could be perform ed she would have to be tapped to the water and that they could then make more thorough ex- animation. They tapped her and removed three gal Ions of water, and after examination they found the tumor in such position that 1t would be instant death to attempt to remove it. They said that with proper care she might live several weeks. In four
 days after the tapping one-third much water mulated as had been taken away. Through the advice of a friend bought some of your appliances (aIthough had faith in them in this particular case). Now to the effect The first night my wife wore then she slept so1ndiy ao all all more than three years. remained with her for 8 week after she put the Appliances. The increase Of water had stopped and what had accumulated was being slowly absorbed, the color was coming back to her face and she began to look like her old self again. Yesterday received letter telling me of her com procure some of the Appliances that do so much good. Yours truly, CHARLES N. THOMAS, [ Member of City Council. Julius Ives. Agent, No. Elm street.
