Rogers. local member of the committee of
ave apppointed recently by the National
Civil Reform league to examine into the
management of the federal civil service to-
day, says:
''It was hardly contemplated that any inn
portant action would be taken by the commit
tee until the first part Of the coming year.
I think Chairman Faulke. of Indiana, will
come east some time In January, and it is
probable that we will assemble 1t that time.
The general scheme of the movement 10 for
the purpose of furnishing information of
every kind tending to show the people the
beneficial character of civil service reform.
We will certainly find some things which
need correction, and we expect to fnd much
to attest the fact that civil service reform is
highly beneficial in its nature to the public
at large. As soon as the people understand
this, it is our expectation that they will not
allow the movement to be crippled for
means to sustain its action, but that they
will provide 1t with the sinews of war;"

Catarrhal Deafness---Hay Fever.
a NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites In
the lining membrane Of the nose and eu-
stachian tubes. Microscopic research, how-
eyer, has proved this to be fact, and the
result of this discovery Ia that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby ca
tarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once In two weeks.
N. B. This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded By rep-
utable physicisns as injurious. "A pamphlet

NoRwALK, Conn, Dec. 29.-Last Thurs
day morning Albert Sherwood, Charles
Wheeler and Harry Sherwood. three West-
port men, went out in q small rowboat to
Cockenoe's leland, five miles away, for tho
purpose of shooting ducks. So interested
were they in the sport that night overlook
them before thay thought of returning.
When finally they had prepared to return a
furious gale came from the northwest and
prevented them from leaving the island. The
cold was intense, the huntsmen were thinly
clad, and it was with the utmost difficulty
that they could keep from freezing. They
finally found shelter in the ruins Of an old
building which was used many years ago by
band Of moonshiners as whiskey distil-
lery and which is located at the eastern end
of the island. Here they remained until
Friday night, when they were rescued by
friends from the mainland, who had been
cruising about the Sound many hours
searching for them.
