TWO RIVAL CITIES.

In the long and at times bitter rivalry between Connecticut's two biggest cities Hartford and New Haven-honors now seem to be pretty equally divided. Hart ford has secured the State Capital, one of the most beautiful in the country, situated in lovely park, but New Haven has gone ahead in population. In the political rivalry between the two also New Haven, by her Democratic majority, has succeeded in putting the trim little State on the list of those that voted for President Cleveland. Hartford however, is just now proud of having had her many charms set forth at length, with plenty of illustrations, in the pages of Harpers' Magazine, and so the struggle goes on. Brains will succeed in putting one or the other city ahead, and just here it may be said that New Haven has an exceptionally brainy bar. But, then, Hartford has more literary people Charles Dudley Warner, Mark Twain, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe and others. Among the able lawyers of New Haven is Edward A. Anketell, the assistant clerk of the Su- perior Court, who office is No. 10 in the Court House. Mr. Anketell is well known to the legal profession throughout Connec- ticut and has also the reputation of being a favored writer for the press. As such this little story, coming from him under date of September 24, 1885, possesses no slight interest:
 SDay before yesterday, and for day or two prior thereto, I suffered great pain in my right arm, which felt sure was rheu- matic Being determined to do something to relieve the pain if possible I sent out and got bottle of Athlophoros, and took three doses during the day. Yesterday morning the pain was nearly gone and one more dose completed the cure, so that to- day my arm is as well as ever."
 MT. Anketell was wise in taking such prompt measures to check the pain. ton, N. H., had known of. the existence of Athlophoros, the rheumatism from which he suffered would have been cured with equal speed long ago. MT. Hobbs thus tells the story of his cure:
 q had the rheumatism nine months be- fore heard of your Athlophoros. I was prostrate all that time and could do nothing. I had several doctors, but they did no good. tried all the medicine I could hear of with no better results. At last l saw Athlophoros advertised and sent for some. On the day it arrived I took three doses in the afternoon before went to bed, and that night slept as well as l did when a boy. It seemed to kill the pain at once, and I never have been troubled since. My joints were badly swollen at the time, but as soon as the pain stopped the swell ing began to go down very gradually. am satisfied that if I had taken Athlo- phoros when l was first troubled with the disease it would have saved me $500 in expenses, time and pain.
 q have recommended it to several others in this place with equally good results. One case was that of boy 15 years old, who was so badly afflicted with rheuma- tism that his father had to carry him up stairs to bed for two weeks. His mother came to me to inquire about Athlophoros. I advised her to get it at once by all means and she did. In two days after taking the medicine the boy was out at play with other boys, being entirely cured and has been we'll ever since.
