sleep is the great restorer, and some Of our

leave the home in three or four days, so far
as their physical health is concerned"

The mention of the opium smokers by the
preceding druggist suggested the inquiry Of
an exceptionally clever literary man, who
was casually met one day at Yuet Sings
store, ''whether the breaking up of the
Joints had diminished opium smoking in
New York; "Not at ALL" he replied; s'there
is more of it now than there ever was before.
1t is simply carried on with more secrecy,
that is all. The pale faced barbarian has not
the ghost of a show to run John Chinanan in
his way. The Mongol is too cunning. If he
wants to smoke opium he will smoke opium,
and the only way to make him stop it is to
kill him. But it is by no means Cinnamon
alone who hit the pipe.' There are more
Mclean men and women in New York ad-
dicted to the habit than there are Cinnamon
who practice it, and they are by no means
the offscourings of society'-to quote the
pet phrase of the people who want everybody
else to live in their way. Very respectable
men, yes, and women, too, smoke opium.
And the Joints are not closed Those known
to the police are, it is true, but l, who am
recognized as one !who occasionally hits the
pipe and can be trusted, could show you q
dozen places where you might smoke the wad
Of Oriental delight in any degree of style you
pleased"
A German druggist, who developed in CON

SACRED HEART CHURCH FAIR.
To The Public.


 Not mfrequently in the past the people of this parish have experienced much kindly sympathy, and have been enconr- aged to increased efforts in the work which they have in hand by the substan- tial aid which their friends have given them But at no time since the founda- tion of the parish have they stood more in need of both than at present. In justice to the contractors it was found necessary to resume work early in the year, and to make speedy arrangements for the speedy completion of the church.
 This has entailed much expense, and as onr resources are very limited, we have relied in great measure upon the success of our fair for the payment of this extra debt.
 Upon the kindness and generosity of the public much of it's success will depend.
 It is, then, our firm hope that the good will shown us i'll the past will prove { hamburger of aid still greater in this our most trying hour of need. H. TREANOR. The fair will open at the City hal Thursday evening, November s.

"A Postage Stamp"


 We have seen shows and shows and it passeth our memory when we have laughed more heartily or enjoyed a performance more than we did that of "A Postage Stamp" last evening. It seems that laughter was spontaneous feature in that large audience and when it is remembered that the piece was written for laughing pur- poses, all who were present. can testify that it fully comes up to any high standard that could have been desired. It is the most successful farce comedy ever pre- sented here and deserves unbounded sue cess. The company is fine throughout and are all very clevsr.

A Terrible Fall Down His Office Stairs
 Last Evening.
 Ex-Mayor Greene Kendrick met with an accident while ascending the stairs to his office on Bank street last evening at & quarter to 8 that for time it was believe l would prove fatal. John Freedom was passing at the time and hearing a heavy fall followed by deep groans made an in vestigation and found Mir kendrick lying upon the floor surrounded by pool of blood, his feet resting upon the lower stairs. Aid was summoned and the in iured man carried to the office of the Waterbury Medical institution in the same building. An examination revealed two terrible gashes, extending from the outside corner of each eye towards the back and top of the head. The skull was not fractured, but the temporal artery was ruptured resulting in great loss of blood. One arm was also badly bruised. Dr North was summoned and with Drs Gill and Bond dressed the wounds, which required seven stitches to close The patient did not regain con sciousness for one hour. He suffered two apoplectic shocks and at one time it was thought he was dead, respiration being suspended for over minute. He rallied, however, and was removed to his home. His condition to-day is improved and the physicians say he will recover but will carry two frightful scars upon his fore head.

He Walks Through Back Yards and
 Frightens the Neighbors.

FrlghtGnS tnc NetkhDOrS.
 During the past few weeks people re- siding on Cobble hill and in the district SUI rounding that lively portion of Norwalk prehension by the appearance on numerous occasions of figure clothed in long white gown that passes through peoples yards, over fences and through the woods west of the fair grounds, where it is lost to view. Nobody has had the courage to intercept the midnight visitor or even to learn what or who it was. Nevertheless, the mystery has been cleared up and by the assistance of the supposed ''spook" itself. One of the citizens of the neigh borhood, who had heard from friends of the strange visitatiors and who was in his bovhood days given to sleep walking, recalled the fact that he himself on arising in the morning on various recent occasions would be completely exhausted and would find his bare feet covered with mud. His wife had oftentimes reproached him for not being cleanly, when he told her that he must have soiled his pedal extremities during his sleep, for they were certainly clean on retiring Last week a watch was put on his movements, and sure enough, without other attire than his long white nightrobe, and barefooted, he cautiously left the house for his accustomed somnam- bulistic wanderings. His wife trembled, but was afraid of the shock if she awak- ened him. He remained away over an hour, returned and retired. the wife in the mean time in breathless suspense. She watched him each night, and regularly at midnight every second night he made his strange tour through the streets and fields, return | ing after an absence of an hour or more and retiring, utterly oblivious of all that ] had occurred.

STOPPING RUNAWAY HORSES.
A Young Policeman Tells HSw 1t Is Dom
 Afnsk EffecfirAIN

Young Policeman Tells How 1t Is Done
 Most Effectively.
 Boston correspondent tells how 8 young policeman, Charles Maynes, stops a runaway horse: "When you see runaway coming, do not try to check him by rush from the opposite direction or the side, for you will be immediately knocked flat by the collision, but instead prepare yourself for @ short run with the horse Measure with your eye the distance, and start for the run while he is yet some way off, perhaps ten feet in the case of fair to medium runaways. You may depend upon his keeping a straight line, for a really frightened horse is half blind and would not veer for steam engine. He will go straight ahead until he slnashes into some thing.
 So do you get close to the line on which he is rushing and, as he passes you, grab the reins near the saddle. Gather the reins firmly, and then, leaning backward as you run, give them powerful yank. You may be able to brace yourself somewhat as you give this yank, half sliding on your feet. The strong jerk on the bit tells the horse that he again has master, and prepares him for the final struggle. 4 step or two forward after the first yank, do 1t again. This is the finishing stroke. It never fails when given by determined man. The horse is on its
 
 you grasp the horse by the nostrils, and hold him 80 til he is pacifed."
 In stopping span of horses Maynes tries to get on the side of the wilder one, as, if pulled to its senses, the other one can be managed. The task is easier if the horse has a curb bit. A runaway may also be stopped by the driver in the same manner If you pull steadily with all your strength on a curb bit," says Maynes, "the effect on the horses jaw is just what it Is if you tie cord tightly about your finger. The blood doesn't flow, and the finger becomes numb. After a firm pull has been maintained on the horses mouth for while it ceases to have any ef- feet. You cannot then force him out of a run if he is frightened. But give him his head little till the mouth recovers from its numbness, lash him with the whip if you have free road, and then give sudden yank. He will come down. If the first yank isn't enough, give him one more. There isn't horse on earth which can run away with competent driver if the harness holds" Maynes has risked his life number of times, and has had some perilous encoun- ters before subduing frightened animals. He has received medal from the Humane so. ciety and $50 from the cab company. WoonsOcket Patriot.

afr Hubbard's Registered Letter.

More correspondence has come to the surface ill the controversy between Post master English and H. P. Hubbard relativ e to the registered letter sent by MT Hub bard to the Providence, R. l., Dispatch, which MT Hubbard claims was delayed four days by the negligence of the post office authorities. The Providence post master W, ites that the letter was received there October 6, the day after it was mailed from here, but the Dispatch people didn't call for it after the first notification of it. arrival and second notice was sent tC them. It was October before they final ly got ready to ask for the registered letter. In that manner the four days delay of which MT Hubbard complained was caused by the Dispatch and not by any inactivity of the postoffice oficials.-New Haven Register.
