THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY TOBACCO GROWERS
 PROTEST AGAINST THE MEXICAN TREATY.
 Tho meeting of the Connecticut Valley To bscco Growers association at Hartford Thursday was largely attended to hear the report for the committee that interviewed Secretary Folger about Sumatra importation Colonel Phelps, who reported for the com mittee, felt sure that the Sumatra question was now settled and that the secretary would stick by his decision The secretary will hear the importers who have protested against the ruling, but the committee regards that hearing as 8 mere formality On the question of Mexican leaf no such assurance is felt A. G. Hubbard of Hat field, Mass, eaid that tobacco had been com- ing in for two years, that there was no limit to the Mexican soil that will grow tobacco proftably, and if the Mexican treaty, which recently came within one vote of adoption, should pass, the farmers of the valley would be ruined by the competition. B. N. Phelps, Silas G. Hubbard and Louis Haas were ap. pointed committee to take measures to in duce Congress to add an explanatory clause to the Sumatra tarif, construing 1t as Score tary Folger has done. Resolutions were adopt edArejoicing at the success of the association thus far in it's efforts to protect the interests of growers and pledging future activity in guarding the present tariff rate of 75 cents a pound on imported tobacco; protesting against the confirmation of that part of the proposed Mexican treaty which would permit the free Importation of Mexican tobacco. Sheldon Kinney of Windsor, Charles Bart lett of South Windsor, s. 0.

Love for O WIfe-RI rdexer.


 One of the most peculiar phases of Wheeler's jail WAS the strange infatuation entertained for him by Mrs. Stratton, of l,633 Powell street She Is e''widow about fifty years of age and had son twenty four years old. The woman was evidently in love with the murderer, but his professions of a similar nature were but hollow. On last Monday she visited him in his csll and after conversing for some time with him, she said:
 If it will save you, George, will marry you'
 He replied that he thought it would, and she started of to make the necessary prepsra- tions. Soon afterwards Wheelerre marke d to his jailer that he still had hope of being saved. The keeper asked him what it was, and the thug replied:
 's am going to be married. When I am married maybe the Governor the Chief Justice will have some sympathy for my Wife. Beside she has some property, you know, and If can get a stay of proceedings she will raise some money on her property and employ the best legal talent in the city for me. Then we shall see 8 difference in the management of my case" cooIly concluded the scoundrel, and the jailer walked to the other end of the cell, utterly disgusted with the mans want of honor.

Sheriff Connolly reasoned with her for some time, and finally said that he would not allow the nuptial ceremony to be per formed in the county jail. The woman then departed, very indignant that dying man should be denied any thing he wished, and ve- hemently declared that if Wheeler were free she would marry him as soon Hs she could find person to tie the nuptial knot She called later in the evening to see Wheeler and stayed with him quite awhile talking over their matrimonial prospects. When she bsde him "good- by '' for the night she promised to return in the morning and, If possible, marry him.

The Gay Head Indians.
IE .aVv They Showed Their GenerOsIty il Cescuing the Dead and Dying.
 From the Boston Journal

 Cescuing the Dead B nd Dy ing. l tFrom the Boston Journal.l
 Enough has been sad in tribute to the matchless heroism and unbounded generosity
 of the Gay Head Indians. More than they
 have done none could do. Freely they threw their lives in the balance against the cruel death that was fast claiming the few who
 elung to the stranded vessel Nearly every
 able bodied man in the little settlement was inolodud in the crews that faced death in
 task that seemed hopeless. Half a-dozen
 nearly perished in an attempt to put off ln
 Whale-boat which could not live in the angry sea Twenty two lives they saved amid such perils. And those who reached the barren headland alive were greeted with bonndless though humble hospitality Nothing that the limited resources of their nobie-h earted rescuers could supply was held back. Food, drink, missing articles of clothing were free iy given and then men and women began the sad search for the dead. This was in prog ress when the first communication with the outside world was established by the Boston and New York newspaper men on Sunday, who found these poor people regretting only that they could not do more for the ship wrecked survivors. The survivors were brought 10 their dwellings, andprimi- tive places of abode they are. Every thing was neat, but there were no luxuries aud few comforts. The then upholstered WhlA5 "cEo h pOOE pIOlCCt4OA 1AOL4 AOy E1AO- Entire families lived together in ono two rooms and loft reached by ladder. The people were scantily clad. Women came down to the landing in the clustering snow storm wearing their calico dresses, but they seemed not to know it was cold. In collect ing the dead upon the beach the body of one poor woman was found entirely nude. Another had scarcely any covering. One of the Indian women had at home two sheets, which were treasured as luxuries seldom to be used. She sped to her house and fetched them, weeping as she pitifully said it was all she could give to cover the dead. And the bodies were quickly sewed up in these sin- ding sheets. This and much more have these people done without asking even thanks in return. In fact, all that any one of them has asked after what have been to them great sacrifices has been a salvage interest in the few trunks that have washed ashore. This trif1ipg recompense belongs to them by right aud law But we misjudge the people of Boston and New England if ths generosity of these poor Indians is not made up to them g hundred. yes thousand fold.

Slavery is rapidly dying in Cuba. Sixteen years ago a law was passed providing for the gradual mRnumission of slaves on the island, of whom there were at that time about 1885, 1855. Sc well has this law been adminis- tered, the planters in many cases showing a willingness to act even in anticipation of it's provisions, that 285, 900 slaves have been sl- ready set free, and there are good grounds for hoping that during the year the trade will be entirely wiped out.

The Council of the Church of England Tuner al and Mourning Reform association have issu cd 8 statement in which they urge the import ance of the work of their society in the di- rection of the improvement of cemetery chapels, the encouragement of a better taste in respect to tombstones and monuments, the avoidance of excess in the use of flowers at funerals, and the disuse of crape and scarfs, as also of metal cofins and brick graves, which uRduly retard the return of the body to the earth. They are of opinion that excess in funeral observance among working people has often led to absolute want, followed in many cases by permanent pauperism, and that this excess is one of those evils which have helped to bring about the recent ap- peals on behalf of the distressed poor.

 A happy surprise it was to MT. A. R. Norton, Of Bristol, Conn, when ATHLoPHoRos put him on his feet, and sent him cheerfuIly about his business. Let him tell his own story:
 "About three weeks ago I was taken with severe crick in the back. For four days was unable to turn in bed without help and when lifted up could not stand on my feet. Twas induced to try ATHLoPHoRos, after all the usual remedies failed. In % minutes after taking the first dose could bear my weight upon my feet In two days was able to get about and attend to business. In two other cases which have comet to my knowledge it's use has been attended with the same results''
 A poor man in Philadelphia had to bor- row dollar to buy bottle of ATHLoPHoRos. On account of his poverty his name shall remain secret He had suffered terribly from Rheu- mat1sm. He gratefully writes:
 'EI took my first dose Tuesday afternoon, and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, had not sharp severe ache left Then Ireduced the dose one-half and took the remainder of the bottle. was able to be steady at work till Sat urday, when took severe cold and IH1- able to my left hand. purchased another bottle and by bedtime found relief The medicine is all you claim for it."
 Investigate ATHLoPHoRosa all you pleasel Find all the fault you choose with it and yet the fact remains, that it is doing what no other medicine ever could do for Rheu- matism and Neuralgia.
 If you cannot get ATHLoPHoRos of your drup- gist, we will send it express paid on receipt of regular price-one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but If he hasn't 1t, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us as directed. HTHL0PH0ROS CO.,, I2 WALL ST., NEW YORK. H D
