No Chemicals.

IN THESE DAYS when food adulteration is
so common, it is q comfort to find an article
for the table that is thoroughly reliable.
Walter Baker & Co.'s breakfast cocoa is
eminent IN this limited class. No chemicals
are used IN its manufacture and it is abso-
lutely pure. 1t forms moreover delicious
and healthful drink, as refreshing, and more
nutritious, than tea or coffee, and free from
the injurious effects that those beverages
sometimes produce. And 1t is very cheap
withal. The house of Walter Baker & Co.
has maintained for more than 100 years q
great and honored repute by the excellence
and purity Of its manufactures.

GERMANY SAMOA.

G RMA N N 4N SAT MOAs
 Germany's interest in the Samoan islands is of long standing. More than thirty years ago the trading house of Messrs. Godefroy of Hamburg made large purchases of land in the Samoan islands, and arranged for the set- clement on this group of German colonists. Godeffrcy was an old friend of Bismark, and before the Franco German war he represents cd to the latter the advantages which might accrue to Germany by the possession Of a south Pacific colony. The plan at that time seems to have taken Bismarck's fancy, for, in consequence of his interosssion, the first German war vessel that passed through the Suez canal was one destined to aid the Messrs. Godefroy in the carrying out of their scheme for colonization. The breaking out of the war with France put complete step to the development of this project. About ten years ago the Messrs. Godefroy became financially embarrassed in conse- ouence of business losses, and an appeal was again made to the German chancellor for the government to take upon itself the develop- ment of this colonial movement, a request to which Prince Bismarck readily acceded, and under his direction bill was introduced into the Reiehstag granting for twenty years an annual subsidy of 300,000 marks to Messrs. Godeffroy to aid them in the prose cution of their work. This bill was known as the Samoan subsidy bill; but, in spite of the the arguments of the German chancellor, the measure failed of effect, majority ot sixteen voting against it.
 Our treaty relations with the native gov ernment of Samoa date back only about ten years, so that Bismarck has some foundation for thinking or saying that Germany has some rights of priority, bat not enough to warrant her in invading American rights. Il is not at all probable that she will make such invasion, though her actions will speak loud CT than her pacific words.

STIRRING DRAMA IN REAL LIFE. An Old Man Returns to Find Himself
 NIOUrued fer Dead.

mOufneO Ter Dea0s TOxford (Me) Special to Boston GIobe.l An old man, with gray hair and beard, bowed down with years and feeble, WAS seen on the day before Christmas groping his way slowly like one partially blind, among the graves in the old churchyard. Though a short, thick set old man, his frame showed great strength and wonderful powers of en- durance.
 He stopped before an old stone ornmbling from the frosts and storms of many years, and covered with mass of dampness, which stood at the head of the grave. The stone bore the name of Ezekiel Fogg, and marked
 the resting place of man who, years ago, was well known in these parts. Many times the grass grew green upon his grave, fulfilled it's allotted time and withered | in the autumn frosts. The wrinkles of grief | in the widows brow were smoothered out by good Old Father Time, and she met one of Dixfeld's most respected citizens, looked up- l on him to love him in her heart, and married l him ten years ago.
 As the years rolled by the name of Ezekiel Fogg seemed to perish from the memory oi men, and only moss grown stone told that | he had once acted his part on the worlds 1 stage. But when this old and feeble strang CT gazed upon the old time tablet, wha ! thoughts came in his mind! Could it be tha
 he was Ezekiel Fogg, though dead for | quarter of a century to those who loved him 1 most.
 His only son, Frank Fogg, has lived here l many years, and has grown up to be one o' the best citizens of the town. He appears
 very happy to have his father return and
 clear up the mysteries, of which there wert

many, that surrounded his disappearance. When questioned about the return of his parent he said: "Yes, my father has come home after an absence of over twenty years, and he has gone to visit an old friend of his
 boyhood, named Richmond, in East Oxford. He is going from there to Boston to the City Hospital to receive treatment for his eyes, which, he tells me, have troubled him for over twelve years.
 'Father but briefly related his experience to me. He started for the West over twenty
 years ago, and settled in Plattsburg, N. Y., for short time, only to continue on in his travels until he reached 8 town in Nebraska, where he worked in a stone quarry. There my mother and I, then child in arms, joined him, and after short time mother and started for home, father agreeing to fol low in a few days. That was seventeen years ago, and not one word was heard di- rectly from him.
 "He disappeared suddenly, mother learned, and there was a story that he had been mur- dered for his money. It was reported that three strangers hired father to guide them through the woods to a distant town. Then the names of A. s. Fuller, a man named Stetson and two others were coupled with 6 story of murder, in which the strangers were hired to put him out of the way"
 l When Ezekiel Fogg left Nebraska he went 1 to Arkansas and secured farm. As an agri- culturist he lost money, and sold out and moved on with the tide of emigration to the ! far West. His travels one day brought him I to small cabin in the wilderness. A knock upon the door was answered "Come in," by 6 feeble voice. Entering he found sutstretched upon some skins man in the last stages o1 consumption. He was an old miner, and had accumulated fortune, but sickness had de- tered him from returning to the East te share his hard earned pile with his next and and nearest of kin.
 Here Fogg remained to watch over the man in his sickness, and before his death the aged miner secured promise from him to deliver his money to his relatives. After the miners death Fogg remained many years in the mountains as a hunter, trapper and min CT. For three years he was much troubled with his eyes, and for a time was partially blind. One day he found Maine paper, and he read of the death of a man bearing the name of his only son. This revived his memories, and he decided to return home, hoping that he might find some trace of his family, aud also that he could be benefited by the treatment of skillful oculist.

Our lines of Dress Goods and Silks cannot ! be excelled for variety and for complete as- sortment of all grades. We cannot give you ! an adequate idea of the line of new goods we | are now opening in these departments, but I would ask you to call and inspect them. | This is our Banner Department, and no eff ! fort will be spared te have it up and if any | thing above the usual standard of excellence. ] In each of our several departments we have effected an entire change with regards to the prices of the goods, and will be able to place on our counters, at various times, SPECIAL BARGAINS which it would be we'll to watch for, as we expect to save you many dollars.
 Our recent large and extensive improve ments will enable us to better serve the de- mands of the public, and with our increased facilities we are confident we will be enabled to continue to merit the patronage of the New Haven public.
