Are They Good for Everything?

For all people, in sickness or in
health, lemonade is safe drink. 1t
corrects biliousness; it is a specific
against worms and skin complaints.
The pippins, crush he'd, may also be
mixed with water and sugar and
usedas drink. Lemon juice is the
notwithstanding remedy known. 1t
not only cures the disease, but pre-
vents it. Sailors make daily use of
it for this purpose. A physician
suggested rubbing Of the gums daily
with.lemon juice to keep them in
health. The hands and nails are also
kept clean, white, soft, and supple by
the daily use oflemoninstead ofsoap.i
1t also prevents chilblains. Lemon
used in intermittent fever is mixed
with strong, hot black tea or coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be
cured by rubbing the part effected
with lemon. 1t is valuable, also,
to cure warts and to destroy dandrlff
on the head by rubbing the roots of
the hair with it. In fact, its uses are
manifold, and the more we employ
it externally the better we shall find
ourselves. ll1ItL< .-l ...

A POLICE RAID,

Twenty Young Men Arrested for Aid-
 Ing and Abettlng a Prize. Fight The Ring Was Formed i'm a Room in
 the Cutler Building.
 The police did themselves proud last even ing. Early in the evening Officer Cowles was told while on duty on Chapel street that a prize fight was taking place in a room in the Cutler building. He at once reported to headquarters and Lieutenant Wrinn sent Roundsman Mcbride, Sergeant Driscoll and cas. The officers filed into the building and trapped for admittance.
 The entire party assembled in the room were at once placed under arrest, which, in- cluding the participants, numbered twenty. James Eustice and William Keeler were charged with prize lighting and breach of the peace.
 The rest of the party were locked up on the charge of aiding and aDstting a prize fight. They gave their names as follows; Frank Hale, James H. Somers, George Thatch- CT, Edward Twist, Frank Dunn, Thomas Dunn, William Greenspun, Patrick McInerny, James Roxbury, John Kelly, Devillo F. Is- bell, Edward Thompson, James Nevins and others
 By ten o'clock all of those arrested were bailed out by their friends going $10o apiece At midnight Keeler was released, but Eustioe was kept locked up, his friends not coming and Keeler were $500 each. TSs entire narty will be brought before the City court this morning. The room where the party was captured was Keeler's. The latter is' a oun maker at Winehester's. Eustice broke his arm in prize fight near Branford recently. The following officers participated in the raid: Cowles, Crocksr, Tripp, HeIget, Stew art, Phelps, L. Waas, G.

HOSPITAL SUNDAY.

Liberal Aid for a Most Worthy Cause
 Urgently Required -Centrihute To.
 Day and Te-MorrOw.
 No charity is more deserving than that represented by the hospital. Its purpose and object commend themselves at once most strongly to all upon Q moments consideration and will all the more be recognized when it is remembered that but for the aid the hos pital receives annually on Hospital Sunday it would be sadly crippled in it's work of re- lieving suffering humanity. The appeal for aid this year is, moreover, more urgent than usual. From an average of 115 patients 6 day for the first six months of the year the number has dropped to about 05 at the pres ent time. Then the receipts from patients have fallen off materially, while the main expenses-as for fuel, lights, salaries and wages-remain practically the same as be- fore. All wise cutting down of expenses has beer resorted to, but this cannot effect any great saving.
 past month the receipts from patients have averaged $175 week less than at this time g year ago. Then again it is important to re- member that the rate per week for almest all the patients is much below the cost of sup i port, and generous public must make up
 the deieiency Only the few marine patients
 and the very few patients in private rooms pay as much as cost; while the town patients, | the soldier patients and the self-paying pa
 tients in the wards all pay less than cost l The town patients alone cost the hospital ID 1 1886 nearly $3.O00 more than was received l from them, even including the $5,0O0 re- 1 ceived from the State of Connecticut. These low rates are fixed by the demands I of charity and are in the interests of the com ! nunity, as any increase in them would result U in cutting off large number from hospita I treatment.
 In other words, the annual deficiency is du' to small receipts. Of course the hospital can not ecsnonize in the food, medicine or car' 1 of the sick. In 1886 the deficiency was $6, 900 and this year owing to. the causes stated l above it will be even greater. Contribute
 therefore, literally and generously to thi
 noble cause either to-day or ct the churches l to morrow.

THE RAILROADS.
New Road to Connect With the Air

New Road to Connect With the Air
 Line.
 The project of building railroad from Manchester to connect with the Air Line at Portland is assuming definite shape. The money for complete survey has been con- tributed, mainly by manufacturers of South Manchester. A rough survey already made shows that there is good route from the Manchester station southeast, past the iydell & Foulds mills, through Manchester Green, where the Manchester knitting mills are To- cated, and thence to Highland Park, East Glastonbury and through South G1aston- bury, Gildersleeve's and Portland to connect with the Connecticut river boats and the Consolidated road system. The route would bring railroad facilities to several important mills that are now long distance from . railroad.

PLANS OUT
For a Notable Enlargement of Chapel
 Street Sf0re.


 Street Store.
 Plans have been drawn for a notable en- largement of the store occupied by Mir. Msrsden 0. Perry in the fancy goods business. The plans provide for the building of an addition to the store in the rear, which will make the prem ises fifty feet larger or one hundred and fifty feet in length. Mir. Perry on being inter viewed yesterday said it was his expectation that the enlargement could be made and early in the spring. The enlarge ment will add greatly to the length of the store and will be abundantly lighted by large skylight, also lighted in the rear from two glass windows and glass door. MT. Perry's design is also to give new and stylish front to the store, the entrance door being in the center, while on either side will be large plate glass windows, the door also to be provided with g large light of plate glass. MT. Perry is yet undecided whether to make the large extension in the rear two stories or not, but if one story is decided up- on it will be built with reference to carrying it up another story, aa occasion shall suggest.

Total cost of construction. $20, ,770 95
 The contracts were not awarded last night. The matter was left with the building com mittee to investigate. The committee was and have the work go ahead at once. Presi- dent Welch was in doubt as to whether the board had that right. The lot on which the
 building is to stand cost $3, 900, and taking the lowest bids for the different kinds of work in the construction of the building, the sum would exceed what had been appropri- ated for that purpose. MT. W elch was not i'll favor of voting away money belonging to the public without being authorized to, and the other members of the board thought likewise For that reason the matter was referred to the building committee and will be reported on as soon as possible.
 A petition signed by eighty six residents of the Webster school district was presented to the board praying that the Webster school be either radically remodsled or else be torn down and new one built. The petition is headed by the name of Morris F. Tyler. The signers say that every room in the school, with the possible exception of one, is badly ventilated and lighted and that thereby the health of both teachers and scholars is inn paired. They want grammar school with plenty of room and light.
 Major Strong and Captain O'Brien stated that the building committee bad done all it possibly could in remodeling the building, and 8 short time ago had refused te do any thing more to it. They said that no more re- pairs could be made. It would have to be torn down first. Captain O'Brien thought the board should take serious consideration of the matter, as the taxpayers in that dis trict meant business.
 The petition was referred to special com raittee consisting of the building committee and Dr. Carmalt. The entire board will visit the Webster school on Monday after. noon next.
 The question was brought up as to whether the girls of the schools should net have the opportunity of being taught cooking at the Y. W. O. A. rooms and go out in classes the same as the boys who receive manual train ing. The members of the board all thought that it would be most excellent advantage for the girls, but 8 few thought it question as to whether the public was ready for any such move. Others thought the girls should have as many advantages as the boys. It was just as needy to the girls to be taught how to cook as for the boys to be taught manual training. Mir. Bennett was of the impression that this was only @ move to bring cooking into the schools and he wanted to know why it was not put in that way. It was explained that by sending the ceive not only the benefit of teacher of much experience in the art of cooking, but one educated as we'll. On motion of Major | Strong the matter was referred to the com mittee on schools with power to act.
 The committee on schools recommended | that several substitute teachers be hired. The | recommendation was passed.
 The report of the committee on schools on | the proposed course of study was accepted | and ], ,0O0 copies of the outline of the course | in pamphlet form were ordered printed.
