THEIR FIRST REUNION.

The Members of the State Senate for

Some Fun.
The first annual reunion of state senators

teen of the twenty-four members We're
present when they met in front of the
Tontine to take the tally-ho for Hills
Here they had a royal spread ready for
them, which was not neglected. The
speeches which followed were not of a
mournful character. ALI had something
to say and some of the efforts We're of a
high order of eloquence. Lieutenant
Governor S. E. Merwin presides as master
of ceremonies.
When the speechmaking had been con-
cluded the party remounted the tally-ho,
and if the vehicle was crowded before there
was less room now, as the vest of every
senator in the party had expended under
the pressure of the feast, but there was
always room for one more at the top until
everybody had been seated and the tally-ho
started for Woodmont.
Those present at the gathering were:
Lieut.. Gov. Merwin, Senator Cleveland of
Hartford, Senator Robbins of Wethers-
field, Senator Hodge of Windsor, Senator
Morse Of Meriden, Senator Graham of
Orange, Senator States of New Haven,
Senator Aver of Norwich, Senator Mead OF
New Canaan, Senator Catlin of Stratford,

fut of Danbury, Senator Fuller of Putnam,
Senator Bartram of Sharon, Senator Clark

HEART OFF sIANscoNsEr.
4 Charming Description of Nam
tucket Written by Rev. Phebe Hans

A Charming Description of Nam
tucket Written by Rev. Phebe Hans
ford.
Heart of Siansconset is the title of
charming little volume written by Rev.
Phebe A. Hanaford of this city, and re-
Gently presented to the public from the
press of Hoggson & Robinson of this city.
The story sets forth in vivid way the
charms which Nantucket has to offer, and
is told in Mrs. Hanaford's peculiar manner,
that is powerful in its description, yet
simple in style. She evidently does not
visit place in superficial way, but rath-
er makes a thorough study, allowing not
the slightest detail to escape her notice
Especially is this seen in the manner por-
traying the social habits of people. The
following extract is given:
There is no escaping ones own atmos-
phere And the atmosphere of true
Nantucketer is eminently social The fact
that the early settlers of the island inter
married, and for many generations could
call each other "cousin" so largely, has
had it's influence on the social life of the
islanders. The hundred years and more
of cousining and neighbo1ing has led to a
freedom and social communion and per
sonal sympathy and close companionship,
which is very delightful to one born and
brought up on that sea-girt isle. The tie
is strong one, and when Nantuckete1
who has been dwelling year after year
among of-islanders returnes to his native
place the cordial welcome is an immeasur,
able joy" :
The following is graphic picture or
/ the beach: "It was the bathing hour
Soon the clocks in the little cottages would
strike eleven. Struggling down the bank,
to1se Mr.. Northrop's graphic, if not ele
CANT phrase, came the bathers, men, wo

With the following words the volume
closes and a more unique or interes
description of one of natures paradises il
hard to imagine: 'tSuffice it now to ado
the earnest desire that the fame of Nan
tucket may never grow less, through an.

Dull Market-Prices Sag or Slowly
Sugar Refinerfes Go UpsThree Per
Cent

New YORK, Aug. IA.
Railroad bonds were duller to-day, the sales
reaching only 1851, 900. There was a rather
heavy tone in the early trading but firmer tone
was noticed later on, though there were
marked gains except in Delaware and Hudson
fours, which rose ~. The other changes were
all Insignificant outside of a few inactive bonds.
Stocks opened higher, but soon became dull
and prices sagged Off slowly. Denver and Rio
Grande preferred alone showed any strength
until the last hour. The money market eased off
late in the day, and an easier feeling on money
prevailed. A rather sharp upward movement
took place at that time, which sent Sugar Re-
fineries up per cent, and the stocks of the reg
ular list from fractions to ~. The demand
ceased only with the close of business, and the
close was quiet but strong at the highest prices
Of the day.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous mem
brane the remedy used must be non-irri-
tating. The medical profession has been
slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or syringes, because they are all
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces, and should be abandoned
as worse than failures A multitude of
persons who had for years borne all the
worry and pain that catarrh can infiict
