 There was a very enthusiastic meeting of
 the West Haven Memorial association at one
 of the town rooms in Thompson's block on
 Tuesday eveninglto elect officers for the com
 ing year and make arrangements for Mem-
 orial day President Pritchard presided.
 The reports of the different committees were accepted and the committee on procuring speakers reported that they had secured Comrade P. s. Evans pastor of the Grand avenue Baptist church. as orators of the day; and that the music committee had hired the Columbia drum corps of nine pieces, Frank Hurlbut leader. The teachers of the public schools are arranging an appropriate pro- gramme for the day and the different pas tors of the churches in the borough have been invited. The Rev. Mir. Thorpe, pastor of the M E. church, invited the veterans to
 attend his church in 8 body on Sunday morning, May 27th, when he will preach 8 memorial sermon. It was unanimously voted to accept this invitation. Then came the election of officers for the new year. Com
 rade Pritchard positively declined re elsc- @ tion, for he has moved to the city. The veterans were very 10th to lose his valuable
 services, for he has been an untiring worker for the association. A hearty vote of thanks

 vices. Comrade W. A. Park was unanimously .chosen president. Comrade H. c. Higgins
 was elected vise-president, F. G. Hastings
 secretary and W. E. Augur treasurer.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

A New Use For the Hotel Register.
 A.specimen of true rustic simplicity re- gently took place in one of the hotels in this city. There called at the house a couple that from all appearances one would judge were from the rural districts. The ever ready
 and obliging clerk as soon as the young man
 yentured near to the desk opened the register for him to subscribe his name and that of his sweetheart. This rather staggered the young man, but in an instant he comprehended the situation. Takingup the register he carried it over near the young lady and in stage whisper asked her what she would have te eat. After due deliberation she concluded that she would have some tea, and that was duly registered in the book by the young man. He concluded that he would take some pie and so put next to the 'stea" apie," mak- 1t read f'Tea and Pie" instead of the names of himself and sweetheart. Feeling that he had done just about as the clerk had wished him to he proudly marched back to the desk in the situation at once, with great politepsss received the register and with ~SVen the sign of smile passing his couHtenance show. ed the couple into the parker.

Inherited Diseases,

h the realm of disease the factp of|t;,r,- her1Sance arc most numerous. .4S5d ara d.JIv accuAulating. Here, alass<Rey become ter. rible. Eateful and oysEsTa helming. No fact of natureNfs morS pregnant with awful mean tns s1A aSsA the fact of the inheritance of r,asease. It meets the physician on his daily rounds, paralyzing his art and nlling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them deSplate. The Furies still ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed in the garb of supersti- tion, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease.
 Modern science. which has illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed Q new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall bo visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent. of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami- nes of cancer end scrofuIa, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hereditary in Q marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases. tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distinguished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body Is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body. are moro or less liable to be inherited. The important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facts-affeoting 90 powerfully the happiness of individuals an d families and the collective welfare of the nstion-sre obvious to refiec- ting minds, and the best means for prevent ing or curing these diseases Is q subject of intense interest to all. Fortunately nature has provided a remedy. which experience has attested as izfallible. and the remedy is the world famous Swift's Specific, Q puro vegetable compoHnd-nature's antidote for all blood poisonS.

Ignored, because but little understood, by most physicians impotently assailed by quacks and charatans, those suffering from 1t have little hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave. It is time, then that the popular treatment of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and trustworthy.

 MERIDEN, Conn.,, Dec. 27, 1S87.-For years
 my wife had been dropsical and suffered excruciating pains through her whole body produced from diseased kidneys. She had tried everything and had been under the treatment of the best of physicians, but without her obtaining any special benefit or relief. Her limbs were greatly bloated so that she could scarcely move about. The pains would begin in the region of her left kidney, reaching to the base of her brain, extending through her left side and arm. Last fall had given up all hopes of her recovery and felt that her days were short on this earth, when my attention was led to ''Warner's Safe Cure," and as a last resort l concluded to have her try it. The first bottle that she took made her feel worse, so much so that she was opposed to continuing it's use. However, I prevailed upon her to I try another bottle, which she did and began l to improve perceptibly. Her -bloating was
 greatly diminished, aud the pains were pass ! ing away. The blo4@Ag has entirely left her, and pains disappeared. In fact, her inn proyement has been 80 great that 1t is hard to \ raoIiza

 ertion entirely upset me. At first paid no
 particular attention to it, but as time wore

 have sharp pains in my back. My urine
 would be very highly colored and then again
 would have 8 milky-like appearance. Be-
 coming alarmed put myself under medical treatment, and for while improved, but it was not lasting. became worse of than ever. The pains in my back. particularly in
 the region of my left kidney, were constant and most excrueiating. It was with great difficulty that attended to business. Still managed to keep up until last fall, when I I was about giving up all hope. I was told that was suffering from congested kid- | Ieys. This was about the latter part of Oc- | tober. One day was talking with gentle man and he advised me to try "Warner's Safe Cure" began to feel better after talk | ing one-half a bottle. kept on taking it until am very thankful to say was entire | ly cured.
