Alexander Smith.

Alexander Smith of Cold Spring, whose four score years have brought him no rich reward for his toll, died Monday morning, @ years old. He was buried Wednesday, venerable Charles Briscoe of Botsford Hill reading service. Stricken with poverty, he and his wife, who, for some time, suffered with diseased an kle, lived alone, supported partly by charity. A few weeks ago, through the efforts of a few who knew and pitied their plight, a woman was secured to care for them. But her services were not long needed; Thursday morning, less than 24 hours after her husband had been buried, Mrs Smith died also, at the age of S3. Her grandson took immediate charge of the body and the funeral will
 probably be held Saturday. No child ren are living; one son, the well known "Chicken" Smith, died some years ago

THE BEES IMPROVEMENTS.
srllAsI POWER ADDED AND A NEW PRESS
 ROOM OCCUPIED.

STi2lNAI POWER ADDED AND A NEW PRESS
 ROOM OCCUPIED.
 All was confusion, hurry and hustle at the BEE office, last week Friday. Early in the morning, Alfred Johnson, one of the Campbell Press Co.'S most reliable and pleasant workmen, began to dis. member the BEES large press, which has served since he put it up in the Spring of 1886.
 Down stairs, in the basement which has received cement floor and other improvements at the hands of Oliver Cromwell, Mir Stebbins was setting up and testing the Shipman kerosene en- zine, by whose aid the present copy of the BEE has been printed. Soon Law renee Mitchell and men arrived, set up q derrick and quickly and safely lowered the huge, unwieldy masses of iron and steel to the ground; then to the base ment, where they were as quickly placed in position.
 Already had E. J. Halls workmen finished the plumbing; but now, under MT Johnson's direction, the hangers and shafting were adjusted and all was ready for the trial, Saturday morning, which proved the excellence of all equipments and was entirely satisfactory.
 Lack of room, which hampered the busy workers in the editorial and com posing rooms, has been remedied by the removal of the press and q much more convenient arrangement of type and other material made possible.
 By the addition of steam power, the BEE is enabled to print each edition in several hours less than ever before and thus will not be compelled to keep such late hours. Scarcely once in the last two years has it happened that the press was stopped, Thursday nights, un- til long past midnight and more than once the morn has broken ere the work was done. But the BEE force has no shirks and the papers go off on the early mail, week after week, with only now and then a miss.
 To all who so kindly assisted in the removal and especially to Merchant Booth, whose premises the BEE occu- pies, hearty thanks are extended; also to the thousands of friends, subscribers and advertisers, without whose generous aid the BEES growth in circulation and influence would have been impossible.
 In the future, as in the past, with other improvements at command, still will stand the motto, "Aim high and work hard.''

Specimens of quartz rock and blue stone, found about 2l feet below the sur face of the so-called gold mine in Poota- tuck, were taken to Meriden by Foreman Medling, who had them assayed. Under blow pipe, the ore showed more silver than gold, but the Jumps were more than half pure metal. The Bidwell family were much pleased with the result and Mir Medling has since worked as fast as water would permit. Although the stream has been diverted and flows over the side of Mount Pisgah, the shaft be- came filled with water and digging was suspended until it could be bailed out. James Darlington of Bridgeport has been added to the force, but digging is slow because the shaft is filled with wood as we'll as rocks and earth. Mir Medling is confident of reaching the bottom in afew days, md can then determine further pro ceedings. He thinks, however, that the best ore will be found about 70 feet from the surface. As more silver than gold has SO far been found, silver will be the object of search. It certainly looks moro favorable.

On the Square .

When the shoe business ofJohn C. Howland, 405 Main street, Bridgeport, was commenced, some two and q half years ago, 1t was founded on the basis of square dealing. The best goods obtainable were placed in the store; honest goods, well made, whether of the finest quail ty or those more moderate in price. The ma. terial was always carefully selected with the element of durability prominently in view.
 The shape of the shoes and the intelligent adaptation of different forms to the peculiar.
 ties Of each individual foot is carefully stud
 ways selling good fitting shoes. "Howland's
 shoes are always easy" is the frequent re
 mark. They are easy because the shapes are
 made on scientific principles and then prop. eriy fitted to the foot; an art which many who sell shoes do not understand.
 MT Rowland says: ITO properly fit all kinds of feet must carry q very large stock in a great variety of shapes and many widths Some dealers think two or three widths sui ieient to keep in stock; but we have seven on mems and wO1neIi's and five on cfiildren's shoes, consequently we fit any foot. | very slim an A or AA is right; if the foot is short and stout, we have them extra wfde | Carrying SO large a stock necesSitateS rapi6 l sales in order to turn it over frequently ant keep She styles uew and fresh. In starting Itherefore,we adopted the plan of selling strict 4 ly for cash, making no bad debts and putting our prices so low that, in addition to our abil | ity to fit and suit customers, the pricessare al ways an inducement to buy of us.
 l We can afford to sell at our low prices witf l the amount ot business we are doing, while 1 if our sales were no larger than the average l shoe store, we would lose money.n
