1n0 NeW HaVen AS9Ocfat1OnsS Annual
 Meeting To-NIght.
 This evening at o'clock the New Haven Civil Service Reform association hold their fifth annual meeting at room 39 Insurance building. There are about fifty members. The executive committee will make a report The report for one thing will commend Post master English's course as in accordance with civil service reform, and will recon mend that the civil service act be amended so that there can be further extension of the application of the law to apply to federal offices where there are less than fifty persons employed. The law at present is such that it does not apply to places where there are less than fifty government employees. It is argued that if the law is successful, where it is enforced on offices of fifty federal employees or more, why would it not be just as effective and just as applicable in offices where say only twenty-five persons are at work for the government.

Copied from Portrait 23O Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache; ; no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen victim to that modern scourge, MatGr5a. Nothing on this earth will tone you up so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bittcrs, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and all forms of Malaria Don't wait till you are on your back but begin at once the use of Lewis Red Jacket Bitters.

It is said that o company has been
formed in New York city for securing
pure milk by new process. Fresh, pure
milk, made in localities where feed Is
cheap, is canned, bottled, and corked
when first drawn from the COW, and lm-
mediately heated in water or steam, both
being under the pressure of the atmos-
phere. 1t is then cooled, after which it
may be kept a year without undergoing
any change. Heating destroys all germs,
and bottling prevents all connection with

prove equal to the expectations OF the
