What Prof. Brewer Says of Traditions
 He Says That the Fence is an Ex-
 pensIve Loading Place.
 Prof. Brewer, in speaking of traditions, says: "Just now there is great movement about the college fence. In my college days there was no fence in its present acceptance. It is tradition of no more than twenty or twenty-five years. Now the boys won't give it up even for $1,000. = It is the most expensive Ioafng place I know of. People hold on to these traditions quite tenaciously. For long while the report was current that at about the time of the erection of the old chapel students learned certain tutor kept in his room bottle of, brandy, and they broke in Tutors, you know, were not go much respected in those early days as they are now Well, they got the bottle away from him and concealed it in the ground works of Old chapel. This wss a..traditien. In 1876, when the new chapel was built and the old chapel was to be fixed up for dornitory, those who heard of the above story looked around the old building. Sure enough, a bottle turned up, and it must have belonged to Q tutor, for it contained bad brandy.n

A Horrible Inheritance

The transmission of the fearful effects of contagious blood poison is certainly the most horrible einhepitance which any man cGn leave to his innocent posterity. The curse con- tained in the Scriptural declaration "Tho sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth genera tion," can be certainly mitigated, and In the majority of cases, prevented, by the use of the antidote to tho contagious blood poison which Nature herself furnishes, and which is to be found in it's native purity and in- fallible efficacy in tho remedy known nll over the world as Swift's Specific -ncommonlY called s. s. S." As illustrative of this fact we give the following evidence-they are test cases, taken at random from hundreds Of others of similar character:
 Mr. J. II. Brown, of Hornellsville N. Y, writes Three years suffered with this hor- rible disease. Swift's Specific cured mo com Pletely.
 Prof. Edwin Baar. 234 E. Twenty second street, Now York, writes: Swtft's Specific cured me of fearful case of Blood Poison.
 pr. B. F. winGneld, of the Soldiers Home, Richmond, va., writes Swfft's Specific cured me of Q severe case of Blood Poison.
 D. W. K. Briggs, Brooklyn, N. Y. was perfect wreck from Blood Poison. Specific restored health and hope, and am well to- day.
 O. W. Langhill. Savannah, Ga: I have suffered a long time with Blood Poison. tried Swift's Specific and am now perfectly well man.
 A. W. Bhell, of Powers Hotel, Rochester, N. Y, writes It is the best blood remedy on earth. Toured myselc with 1t. Recommended 1t to friend of mine, well know business man, and it made him well.
 MT. r. L. Stanton, editor of the Smithville, fla at Frfo of h 1{a afflicted with severe case of Blood Poison, and that two bottles of s. s. 8. effected 8 complete cure. He tried every other remedy In vain.
 MT. J. R. Kellogg, Stamford, Conn.,, writes, December 1G, 1887: Your s. s. S. Is doing for me what ought to have been done long ago. It has done me more good in one week than all the medicines have ever taken.

rHEROAD TO HE REPAIRED.
A Meeting Of the County Commission n erR Yesterday.

"A CTS Yesterday.
 Yesterday morning the county commis- sioners held lively meeting. A large num- Der of people from Woodbridge and Bethany were present to support their petition that the town of Seymour should be compelled to repair the highway leading southerly from Rimmon Falls turnpike, east of the upper Ansonia reservoir, between Derby and Sey- mour. This petition was approved, according to law, by State Attorney Doolittle. Ex- County Commissioner Marcus E. Baldwin conducted the case for the petitioners. It is claimed that the road is in a very bad condi- tion, and that in some places it is too narrow for two teams 60 pass without the occupants getting out and holding their team upon the bank.
 First Selectman Lounsbury of Seymour appeared for that town and said that it was the intention of the selectmen to fix the road. The county commissioners continued the case until June 11th, with the understanding that the town shall repair the road and widen it so that two teams can pass each other.

A Secret

Of good health is found in the regular move ment of the bowels and perfect action of the liver. These organs were intended by nature to remove from the system all impurities.

 Judge Deming.
 In the criminal side of the Common Pleas court yesterday afternoon the case of Michael J. Thumpane, who is charged with stealing some billiard balls from Grand avenue sa- loon keeper, was being tried. George A. Tyler is for the defense. The case was not finished and will go ts the jury this morning.
 M@mahan Nos Guilty.
 The jury in the afternoon brought in @ verdict of not guilty in the case of the State vs Thomas J. Henahan, the Congress ave- nue saloon keeper. This was somewhat of a surprise, not because it was thought the de- fendant was guilty but because the jury had seen fit to aequit a saloon keeper in the face of the evidence of two policemen. General ly the word of one policeman is taken against sixty or a hundred witnesses. Attorneys Zacher and Webb appeared for the accused.
 This Mornings Case.
 The case of Patrick Creegan, the Grand avenue saloon keeper who ia charged with selling liquor on Sunday, will be tried after Thumpane's case is finished.
