Patterns PET TURTLE.
Every Year She Travels Fifty Miles to Lay
Her Eggs.


In the town of Patten, Me-, a place
distant from tidewater over ninety
miles, there is great curiosity. known
as 1.-The turtles nest" For ffty-two
years a turtle has come annually to the
nest to deposit her eggs. Over half a
century ago she selected her nest, then
in an open field, but now in a yard in
owner of the house branded the date
1s41 upon the turtles back, and it can
be plainly traced now. She comes
about the same date each year, and her
first few days are passed in inspecting
the ancient nest the yard, and sur
roundings.
Later she digs hole in the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
she left forty-two eggs, but, as many
were carried away and the others often
disturbed, only about a dozen of the
eggs Matched out The owner of the
house has ten of the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs; the warm sand
and sun serving as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
dead water on the Mattawamkeag river.
fully fifty miles away from the nest.
Her weight varies from thirty to thirty
five pounds, and il is said she was as
large when branded as she is now.
Each June she comes to Patton. and is
always welcomed by old and young

"7Aere's something behind 1t. -
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. It has a record that
goes back for % years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve i perfectly and
permanently cures. With REM
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.

But then you've never heard of

Who will distribute the fat and

in converting the pious Wanamaker's

established his reputation as the great
est majority maker in the party, but
his reputation in other respects has suf-
fered such frightful damage since the
campaign of 1855 that the republicans
would never dare to put him in his old
place again. Had Mr.. Plat elected
Fassett, he could undoubtedly have
had the post of manipulation in chief if
he had wanted it. But Mr.. Platt did

"GALLUS" TOMS RUN.
In Spite of His Informal Dress and the
Police He Saved His Job.

In Spite of His Informal Dress and the
Police He Saved His Job.
A chase for job. Street-car men
around the Sedgwick barns laugh over
a chase made one morning by a driver
on the Milwaukee avenue and Division
street line. He is known as ''Gallus'
Tom. He lives on Hudson avenue, two
blocks and half from the barn, and
drives an early car. By the rigid rules
of the company if drivers and conduct
ors are not on time at the barns on the
dot of the clock the extra men who are
hanging around are given the places
and the tardy driver or conductor is put
at the foot of the extra list, from which
it may take him two years to- regain his
former good position. so the induce
ment to appear at the barn on time is
very great.
Well, "Gallus'' Tom oversight him
self one morning. 1t was but little
past daylight. He sprang out of bed,
grabbed his reliable Waterbury, and
saw he had but a minute and a half to
reach the barn. He cleared the stair
way at two bounds. He waited not
for clothing, but burst open the door
and dashed into the street, his legs
fairly flying as he chased toward the
barn. His only garment, a white shirt,
tapped merrily in the air. Early
workers stepped aside and gave him
the right of way. They thought he
was crazy. AS he turned the corner to
reach the barn two policeman We're
collided with. They grabbed at
him. but he swung away from
them and flew ahead. The pc.
licemen called halt" and drew
their revolvers, but he kept on.
Uncertain as to whether he was lun
attic or criminal they lowered their
revolvers and gave chase. The stree,
full of people joined in the race. When
Tom neared the barn the policemen
had gained on him ana were at his
heels. As he dove into the building he
threw up his hand to the timekeepel
and yelled: Mum Der 3!'' the number
by which he was known on the lines
The officers and crowd poured in afte,
him. Tom poutingly sat down and ex
planned to the officers the cause of the
chase and every body laughed.
He had reached the barn in time tc
save his job, but he lost that days run
for his car went rolling out just as he
came flying in.-Chicago Tribune

a PLEA FOR SILENCE.
The Shah of Ohio Wants to Muzzle the
People.


People.
The esteemed organs of mutual ra-
pine are sermonizing from the text
furnished them by Mr.. Mckinley when
he made the profound observation that
''the judgment of the people does not
approve the constant agitation of the
tariff issue in the face of the fact that
1t can accomplish nothing"
Without stopping to consider the SER
mons, we will confine ourselves to the
text which is sufficiently absurd to in
dictate the nature of the sermons on it
The only reliable way of getting the
judgment of the people is through the
ballot box, and as they have expressed
themselves there it was emphatically
in favor of continuing the exposure of
the crimes and follies of the Mckinley
bill until its repeal is forced. This is
what a majority of the people voting
since the passage of the bill have said
in every instance, but even if it were
otherwise, the right of appeal to the
majority would remain. and any mi
nority, however small, could go on in
the exercise of it, confident that in the
END right will win in its appeal to the
majority, no matter how small the mi
nority, who, as attorneys for the right,
plead its case before the bar where,
under our system of government, in
Justice, with law on it's side, is called
to account Mr.. McKinley's thought
in challenging this right to appeal is
entirely un-American and alien. 1t is
the spirit in which the Mckinley bill
was forced through house which had
ceased to be a deliberative body
nnder the Reed dictatorship.
In protesting against the discussion
of his bill, Mr.. Mckinley urges fur
Their that discussion should be aban-
doned lin the face of the fact that it
can accomplish nothing"
1t is true that the veto of a most rad
dcal and bigoted partisan is in the way
OF reform at present, but every time a
falsehood is exposed and wrong de-
no',nced, something is accomplished.
Everyone who knows the Mckinley
bill knows that it cannot stand after il
has been exposed and its manifold
frauds and follies made plain to the
people. Even if the odds against re.
form were tenfold greater, something
can be accomplished, everything can
DOE accomplished. by keeping the
truth constantly before the people. Nc
plea for silence that the author and
beneficiaries of the bill can make can
be entertained. There can be no ces-
ssztion in the exposure of it until this
most fraudulent and Ubiquitous of all
measures of wrongful taxation for en-
xiching the rich by impoverishing the

The Rubber Shop Workers.

As was expected all the bootmaksrs at the Candee rubber factory were at work yesterday and it is expected that the com pany will suffer no further delay in mak- ing goods. The thermometer has fallen and old humidity. has apparently taken a vacation. The varnishers have worked all along with the heat above 100 degrees, and the cutters have not found the least fault with their condition, although their room was equally hot. Both of these depart ments are subjected in the summer time to a great deal more heat than the boot makers. It is reported that the bootmakers employed in the rubber factory at Bruns- wick, N. J. have been out last week owing to the fact that the rainy weather made it necessary to have the windows closed and the men were unable to stand the close ness of the atmosphere within the shop,

Entertainments. HYPERION THEArRR.

That well-known opera, 'The Chimes of Normandy" was produced by Colonel Mil iken's company, last night, at the Hype- rion.

 ''The Charity Ball" is the next on the program, September 4-5, Friday aud Sat urday.
 "The Charity Ball." one of the New York Lyceum thester successes, will be by an excellent company, and with every attention to detail
 The box office of the Hyperion theater will hereafter be open daily from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. Manager Bunnell has made this arrangement for the convenience of the public so that seats can be procured at any hour through the day, and affording those who cannot come in the day time an opportunity to secure seats in the evening. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 "An American Boy," new musical comedy, was presented last evening to a house packed to the doors. The character of the part played by the Ameri- can Boy, little Willie McDermott, manly and bold without any of the dime novel sensa- tions we see in plays of this kind. His bright manly character sets before the youth of the country good example that is benefit. Music, singing and refined specialties are sparkling feature of the performance and the American Boy trio, the Union quartette and the many new features make the new comedy a brilliant success. Dan Mason's impersonation of Peter Blatz, the German storekeeper and postmaster, is as clever bit of character work as has been seen in sometime. Miss LizzieAnderson, in the role of Teddy Phillips is one of the brightest young comediernes in her line on the stage. Miss Anderson's s style is eccentric and individually her own She introduces her original character songs especially written for her in NewYork and in singing the same never fails to receive a rousing reception. The play will be re- peated this and tomorrow evenings and tomorrow afternoon.

summer Boom in Real Estate.

Summer Boom in Real Estate. The past month has been remarkable one for midsummer business in real es tate.
 When one scans the investment ot capitalists and traders nowadays it will be found that at least sixty per cent. of the capital seeking investment goes into real estate. How else could the city develop or the old shanties and decrepit buildings dotting many of our principal streets give way for the erection of credit able and substantial buildings.
 For instance, years ago the Eagle bank property was sold for fifteen thousand dollars. It included the buildings now known as the Exchange building, corner of Church and Chapel streets. The re- port is that $200, ,000 have been recently refused by the owners of that property. Among other important sales effected building to Mrs. O. F. Winchester for $150, ,000, and half million dollars in vested in such sales within recent period are proof of the strong interest manifested in central property. No vacant blocks are seen and there is an increase in the demand for business quar- ters. To-day we have population of nearly one hundred thousand. At a glance one sees what fortunes have been made in land, not only in the west but here also and how prosperous the building trades have been and how the shopkeepers have thrived.
 This is not all. Yale college has ex- banded enormously. The many new and costly buildings recently erected or in process6 of erection upon Yale college grounds add greatly to the attractions of this city of homes.
 Among the events of the last week it may be interesting to note the division of the residuary estate of the late Massena Ciark.-A large portion of this land will be thrown immediately upon the market, and as all of this property will in the near future appreciate very rapidly, there will be plenty of investors in realty.
 There are 1S0 parcels and lots of land, much of which is in centrally located city lots, on such avenues as Whitney, Howard, Hallock, Kimberly, Greenwich, Columbus, Winchester and Shelton.
 a This splendid opportunity for persons wishing most desirable locations to build will be eagerly taken advantage of by pur- ehasers who apply to MT. Edward M. Clark, agent of the Clark estate, well known business man of integrity, and many years experience in real estate. His uniform courtesy and cordiality extending to all having business relations with the estate make it 8 pleasure, as well as profit able, to call at his office, which has been removed to 121 Church street. It wouId be rank folly to declare that New Hayen's bone and senew do not understand when and where to make their investments.
 T- They belieya in the growth and pros perity of thecity, and hence. the real estate market Is making a mid-summer record that has never been parailelsd, and last springs big record Of sales is further syi- dsnss.
