WHAT rs
SCROFULA

1t Is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swelllngs; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can.
cerous growths. or the many other manifesto.
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t Is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it,

 A STATUE of the late Louisa M Alcott Is to be modelled the coming winter by Frank B. Elwell, Concord sculptor, an intimate friend of the authoress. There is rumor that the statue may be placed in the free public library of Concord.
 A NEW business directory of Johnstown and surrounding boroughs contains the names of over 800 business and profes- sional men. It also shows that there are now thirty six grocery stores and fifty-one saloons open in the place.
 THE oyster has been great sufferer from the recent terrible commotion of wind and wave, and hundreds of small oyster plant CTS in the vicinity of New York City have been ruined. Large planters and dealers have also suffered heavy losses.
 THE sscold fresh air cure'' Is new cure for consumption. Slowly being accustomed to the action of air, the patient is moved little nearer each day toward an open win dow. The last stage of the cure consists in sleeping in the open air, regardless of wind, rain or snow.
 ACTUAL elevations taken since the recent disaster at Johnstown show that during the flood the water in the neighborhood of Con- emaugh and the South Fork bridge reached an average height of forty feet above low water mark. At the big viaduct on the up stream side the water was seventy-nine feet deep.
 Los ANGELES, Cal, feels the collapse of the real-estate boom and the property owners have petitioned the State Board of Equalization to reduce the assessment of Los Angeles County twenty per cent. One piece of property that was sold for $15,885 two years ago has been returned to the owner for s6,OOO, the face of the mortgage. On sixty town sites that were then laid out there are now but 235 inhabitants.
 A LARGE public bath will soon be erected in Philadelphia from money left by Ben- jamin Franklin and John Scott. Franklin left in his will, dated April 23, 1790, 5000 to be used in Philadelphia in such a way that after the lapse of a century the principal and interest should amount to sum large enough to make valuable public improve ments. In 1916 John Scott added $4, 900 to this sum. The principal now amounts al- together to about s11O,OOO. Ten thousand dollars of this will be laid aside for another century, after the new bath IS constructed.

A GREAT DAYS WORK.

The democrats did great days work yesterday. Notwithstanding the opera tions of a new-fangled and complicated secret ballot law and the presence of a citizens ticket designed to divide and disorganize their strength, they made the best showing they have made for years. They may feel we'll satisfied with themselves to-day as they contem- plate the result.
 With the exception of their candidate for school clerk the democrats made a clean sweep on the general tickets. Every man on the city and town tickets was elected, and every man on the school ticket with the exception of Mir Neagle. The ward tickets were chosen in the third and fourth wards, which will give an equal division of party strength in the council and will give the republicans a majority of two in the board of aldermen and two on joint bal lot. This will insure good work in the court of common council as neither party can afford to champion badly ad- vised municipal measures for purely par tisan ends. Looking at the election as whole the democrats got all the prizes and can well afford to congratulate themselves on their good fortune.

FRAGMENTS OF FASHION.

!: ''B1RcH BARK'' lawn parties are the latest in Maine. The invitations are written op birch bark, and the refreshments served from plates of the same material. . TEE fate of chatelaines in London is sealed. They are to go out of fashion be- cause they are now made in almost every metal, and are within the reach of every one. A SOCIETY lady of Chicago lately issued cards on birchcn bark inviting her friends to meet at her house to celebrate the fifth anniversary of her attainment of spinster- hood.
 THE styles of most of the iewelry now worn show decided tendency to those of the Renaissance with it's combination of precious stones and colored enamels set in chased, engraved or fligree gold and silver.
 PHOTOGRAPH parties are novel entertain ments at the summer resorts. Dancing is carried on by music produced by the instru- ment, and when thatis wearisome speeches and recitations through the photograph en- certain the company.
 THE desire manifested by the fair sex for miniature paintings set as brooches amounts to almost craze. These paintings are ira ported, and leading manufacturers claim that they have difficulty in mounting them fast enough to supply the demand.

Buttons in Hor NoN0.


 According to Cincinnati Enquirer cor respondent, Miss Clara Boil, the twenty two-year-old daughter of Mrs. John Boil, of Canton, O., is the subject of an odd ex- perience. For years she has been troubled with what she supposed was catarrh. This afaiction has bothered her since she was two years old. and a few days ago Miss Boil consulted a physician, who made an e1Rmi- nation, and came to the conclusion that some foreign substance was lodged in one |, of the nostrils. He probed for 1t, and, after removing few small pieces of bone, came upon a substance which, upon close examination, proved to be small cloth covered button. A second search brought forth another button. Now Miss Bell is breathing better than she has since in- fancy. When babs she forced the but tons up her nostrils, and they have re- mained imbedded there ever since. and gave rise to the symptoms of chronic oa- tarrh with which she thought she was sui. fsring. -.s,

 SHE-"Oh, see that scarecrow out there in the field!" He-'That isn't scarecrow." She-"It must be. See how motionless it is." He-''That's the hired man at work" "SAY, Henry," she said to her bashful lover, "I think I should like to be a stock broker" "Wh-whya" stammered Henry. "Because,' replied the damsel, ''the news paper says that several stockholders were squeezed yesterday.'"
 DON'T think so much about yourself,
 It's very reprehensible;
 Or feol when dressed in garments new
 That all the world stands still to view.

 Brace up and be more sensible!

 THE oyster, down in his bed of ooze,
 Walked with start from his summer snooze, Opened his shell, and said with yawn:

 That is always caused by the letter R,
 And know by the keel of that hideous sloop That some us shortly will be in tho soup!'
 "OH, papa" she said, with 8 blush, ''young MT. Chestnut, who owns so many coal mines in Pennsylvania, is coming again this evening, and says he wants to see you on important business" "Au right, my dear," responded the old man, chucking her playfully under the chin, 'I guess know what the young man wants" That evening MT. Chestnut came to the point at once. "Mr. Hendricks" he said, boldly, II want to ask you if you have laid in your wlnter's stock of coal2"
 'Go TO bed, sir p' said an enraged Scotch father to his son, who had given him just cause of ohense. "Were it not that these gentlemen are present, would give you a sound whipping; but you shall have it be- fore breakfast tomorrow certaln." The little rebel went to his crib in a room of the sitting-room with heavy heart, and the enjoyments of the party continued un. til @ late hour. Just when the party was about to break up, the bedroom door was was quietly pulled back, and the young of fender put out his head, requesting thatthe sentence might be carried out "Father, would ye just gie me my ticks the night, for l canna sleep without them"

PROHIBITION SHOWED UNDER


 Prohibition was showed under in Con- necticut, as the DEMOCRAT confidently predicted from the first that it would be. Waterbury did its part nobly in the good work, the majority against the amendment being .976. It could easily have been made larger if all who went to the polls took the trouble to vote on the matter.
 Connecticut is not likely to be called upon again very soon to wrestle with this mischievous and crank-begotten theory. A defeat like that of yesterday, following upon the heels of similar knock-downs in other states, ought to be enough to discourage even the stout est-hearted crank ill the prohibition army. Until there is a public sentiment Ill Connecticut entirely different from that which now prevails prohibition as constitutional or statutory enactment can never make noticeable progress in popular favor. A theory that can at tract to itself but very insignificant portion of those who are recognized as the best friends of temperance, morality and good order must be radically de- fective, and it certainly cannot hope to build up public sentiment in it's favor while it appeals as it does now to the emotions ratherI. than the reason and good judgment of men. Prohibition is wrong in principle, mischievous in it's workings, and entirely impracticable asia measure of moral or material re- form. It met the fate yesterday that ought to befall all visionary and vicious legislation.
 Connecticut is to be commended for her good sense and congratulated for her good fortune in giving such an em- phatic verdict against prohibition.

FALL trade is beginning to boom, and the streets of Waterbury are thronged nightly with. shoppers and buyers of goods. The advertising columns of the DEMOCRAT are an excellent guide for the information of shoppers and most use- ful medium for merchants to make known the quality and prices of their wares. Buyers who fail to consult our columns and merchants who fail to use them lose rare opportunity in the present state of the fall trade. There is no better advertising medium in the community than the DEMOCRAT and the merchants should make a note of it.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-10-08

It has not been usual for the demo- crats of Waterbury to achieve such sweeping victory at local elections, and in the light of yesterdays work the cause may be easily found. There was unity and harmony in the party this year that has been sadly wanting on former occasions. As the DEMOCRAT repeatedly and consistently advised dur ing the weeks previous to the primaries, party differences were fought out this year in the caucuses and primaries. When these had been held and the disputes settled the party spirit triumphed and all turned in with will to make the victory full and complete in every detail. The result ought to be an inspiration in future local elections. There must be an esprit du corps in the party if suc- cess is to be achieved. When the pri- maries have been held the result should be accepted with good nature by those who have been beaten and moderation by the victors, and all discord should fly out at the window. Then, when the republicans put up their citizens tickets as forlorn hope, the democracy will Ee found as unit against them and a vic- tory like that of yesterday will be marked up to their credit. The republi- cans can never win anything of impor- tance in Waterbury when the democrats are united, and unless all signs fail they are going to be united in future as they have not been in the past.
 And by these signs shall we always conquer, as we did yesterday in the great days work done by the party.

Many once tuneful voice among those who belong to the "genus homo " is utterly spoiled by "cold in the head, or on the lungs, or both combined. For the above mentioned croak- CT" we are not aware that any remedy was ever devised; but we rejoice to know that all human singers may keep their heads clear and throats in tune by the timely use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden Med druggists.
 Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures the worst eases of Catarrh in the Head, no matter of now long standing, while for all laryngeal, bronchial, throat and lung affections, pr. pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is posi- lively unequaled. It cures the worst finger ing coughs and builds up the flesh and strength of those who have been reduced by wasting diseases. It is guaranteed to benefit or cure in all diseases for which it is recommended, if taken in time and given a lair trial, or money paid for it refunded.
