A New Method of Treating Disease
 HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they. There is a new depart ure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifies used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance, the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was ob- tained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing ca tarrh, was procured, and so on till these in. comparable cures now include disease of ths lungs, kidneys, female weakness. rheuma tism and nervous debility.
 This new method of Gone remedy for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have expert. enced the i'll effects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of Patent Medi- cines which are guaranteed to cure every i'll out of single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp, to pay postage, by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprie- tors. St

Tho Pugllists VIII Probably Meet In
 the California Clubs Rooms.
 BOSTON, Dec. 11.-To-day Captain Hooke of the Police News received letter from Ellis Powell of Santa Fe Springs, Cal, who is the latest bidder for fight between Sul- livan and Jackson. He says: 'T will guar antee $5O, ,o0O to the men if they will do bat- tie at my place, guaranteeing me that there will be no hippedroming in the affair and also that they are to give three sparring ex- hibitions in places in this State that may designate"
 This is the latest offer made the pugilists, but 1t is very doubtful if they fight outside the California club, which has Jackson under control till July. The California club will probably increase its offer i've or ten thou sand, and there Is little doubt but that both men will accept its offer and meet in its rooms in Frisco.

North Haven.

Dec. l1.-Last evening was busy one with North Haven grange. For eix months the printed programme of the grange has an- nounced that the anniversary of the organi-
 zation of the grange would be celebrated on
 Tuesday evening, December 31. Extensive
 preparations were in progress, friends from neighboring granges invited and all seemed fair for an exceedingly enjoyable occasion, when petition was received from the Con- Rregational Sunday school to postpone the exercises on account of the reunion of that organization. One prominent reason advanced was shat the Sunday school changed the day of picnic last summer because it was found that the grange had some time before fixed upon the same day. It seemed to be forgot- ten thet the picnic referred to was a town affair instead of Sunday school. The grange anniversary was indefinitely postponed. N. D. Forbes read an interesting essay on poul-
 try raising, but the late hour prevented dis-
 cussion of the subject.

 has served him faithfully on his milk route and was favorite. A team of four horses belonging to F. L. Stiles was struck by the cars and one horse thrown more than forty feet and killed, one thrown down bank and injured severely, and the pole to the wagon was broken, but the other two horses and the driver escaped injury. A horse belonging:to G. Ives was drawn backward by heavy load of earth and sunk in the mire so that the
 combined efforts of several men were nec.s. | sary to extricate him.

 other News.
 The New Havens have thus far this week lost two games; the question is, will they lose tonight They play in New Britain, and if the New Britains win the New Ravens will be but two points ahead of them. The New Ravens have played good polo, and no mistake; but the public wants the team to play as well as possible. The truth might as well be told at the start. Connors Is playing far below par, and it can be said that he is mostly responsible for the loss of the last two games. He is decidedly not in good condition. The only remedy is to lay him off until he recovers his old-time form. There is no use of keeping him on the floor when it is plainly evident that he is weak. By laying off he will regain some of his strength. He can play good polo when he is in condition, and everybody knows it; and that is the reason his poor playing now stands out in such bold contrast to that which he did last season. What is substi- tute fora Isn't he to be put on when another player is ill? If Connors is all right let him demonatrafa if in the next On6 or two Oames
