SEDGWICK,
HIS Bank St, and IDA So. Main St.

The store No 93 Bank street (now 116) which I have occupied for the past six years being too limited to accommodate the steady increase of trade, necessltated moro commodious quarters, consequently Ihave leased for term of years the store directly in the rear (Meigs' new block) and running to South Main street, and have just completed an addition connecting the two stores, making it one continuous room extending from Bank to South Main street, with an entrance on both streets.
 The new store in Meigs' block has been nicely fitted and furnished, making it the most elegant Fine Tailoring parlors in New England, and will be used exclusive as Q Custom Department.
 The front store has been extensively i'm proved and will be occupied as Mems Furnishing Department, making two dis tinct departments and making each de- dartment attractive and roomy.
 The Mems Furnishing department is now oyerhowing with all the novelties of the season. The goods are Fresh, New, De- sirable and Cheap, and as an especial in ducement for those who desire @ Fancy Shirt for spring I am offering Cluett & Coon's Grown Monarch Shirts which have always been sold for 1.50 at 95cents.
 The Custom Department as usual is stocked with more extensive and elaborate line than any tailoring establishment in Conn, consisting of all the latest and most desirable Suitings, Overcoatings and Trouserings the market affords, (My trous brings are unusually ine) and no effort willsbe spared to please. The garments will be turned out in the most approved style, and made by the most skilled work men.
 The public are invited to call and look at my mammoth stock and beautiful store. It will be a pleasure to show you.

Then for your own sake, but most Tor mine, give me the chance to loan it to you; you could send it back to me where ever you wanted to- he pleaded.
 No, am na strong, l might na be able to send it back to ye; so will stay here and thank ye with all my heart for yer kindness"
 ''Then give me the right to take care of you, darling. You are so weak, and I am so strong. I know I am not your first love, you may not love me now-I know you do not-but I would try so hard to make you happy and to care 0 little for me; love you so, Lisette."
 ''Oh, Jack" she moaned, ''dinna ask 1t; would na. wound yer gude, kind heart, but am promised to another, and canna think of it."
 "I know it," he said, huskily. 'I have known it all along, but he has been so long coming to you, and you need some one to care for you, and T. oh, Lisette, it would have made me so happy to have done it."
 'May our good Father bless ye," she said softly, putting her two hands in his, flor yer gudeness, and oh, may this suffering gae frae ye. l must wait for him, for ken he will come" The sweet face was transfgured with joy and the love-light.
 ''Then may he come soon and make you very happy" he said, and left her. He had not gone far when ne heard her calling: "Jack, oh, Jack" turning, he found her with letter in her hand boy had just brought her from the post office. 'I am gaeing hame, now, to my ain countrie.'' Her face beamed with joy and happiness that had come to her. He could not endure to look upon it, so he called to her that he was glad that she was happy, and strode away. The girl ran lightly down the narrow path that led to her lodgin ngs. The letter seemed the very elixir of joy to her, and yet she had not broken the seal 'I knew it would come, knew it." she laughed She was just going in when she spied the landlady coming out of her own door. ''Oh. Mrs. Grant," she called, II am going home, am going home"
 "Are you, my dear? I am glad, for your sake, though shall hate to lose you"
 But Lisette did not hear her, she hac gone in to be alone with her precious letter. She sank down in her little
 chair by the window, the last rays o1

THE 6lhL SL1n DOWN ON THE FLOOhs the sun came in and kissed her hair and face. She fondled and caressed her letter, she turned it over and over in her little work-hardened hands. She postponed the greater happiness she never doubted the contents would give her. She feasted heart and eyes on the outside. Then she broke the seal, and in the full red light, read:
 'LIsETTE, MY AIN, MY ONE LOVE: They tell me I am dying, and with my last strength I would tell ye O my love for ye. hae ever loved ye. When went back for ye that Yule- tide, he-Clyde Burgn told me ye had gone and left na word for me, and I believed him forgive me, Lisette. When I went away to forget ye, I couldna. And when they brought me hame to die he told me that ye had been true to me- that he wanted ye for his own bride But we will be happy yet ye will soon come up hame and will be waitin ye. Good by. Yer ain, KENNETH" A little stifled moan, and the white faced girl slid down on the floor, her head bowed on her arms. The twi- light came in and filled the room. Then it changed to gloom, and then the stars began to twinkle. And still she knelt there, quiet, save now and then moan, and a low murmur of Kenneth, Ken meth, my ain Kenneth. Father, moth er." And now the stars were hidden, and darkness filled the room. A storm was breeding, muffled thunder filled the air. The lightning flashed all around | her, but still she knelt. And now the rain poured in torrents over her, through the open window. She raised her head, and dragged herself back into the room, but still the pitiless rain beat over her. She lay there still and mo- tionless, now sob broke the stiffness, and then all was still.
 The bright sunshine of the morning beamed into the room. It fell on the little figure that lay there, cold and still. It caressed her hands, her eyes, her white lips The soft breeze came ip to play in the beautiful, unbound hair. A man with pale, sad face came up to the window to give the girl good morning; he started back in ter TOT and grief. They gathered around her soon, her neighbors and friends, and they said, as they placed her gen tly on her little white bed, and lifted | the curls, so damp and clinging, from her sweet, white face:
 "Lisette has gone home to her own country. ."-Louise Lupton, in Yankee | Blade.

 Grandpa was fine-looking young fel- low then, so the old ladies say, and he is a fine-looking old gentleman now. For the past score of years he has been a firm believer in the merits of Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "It renewed my youth" he frequently says. It is the only blood purifier and liver invigorator guaranteed to benefit or to cure, or money promptly refunded. It cures liver disease, dyspepsia ,scrOfulous sores, skin eruptions, and all diseases of the blood. For lingering coughs and con- sumption (which is lung -scrofula in its early stages) it is an unparalleled remedy.

SEIZED A STEAMER San Salvador Officials May
 Cause Trouble.
AFTER POLITICAL REFUGEES
An American Captain Refused to sur.
 render Five Men on His Vessel.

Not Allowed to Proceed on His Way Threats Made that His Ship Would bs Confiscated-The Matter Now Being Investigated by the State Departmen
 at Washington.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The superin- tendent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company has been advised by the com pany's agent at La Lbertad, San Salva- dor, that the City of Panama, which had been detained on account of having politi- cal refugees on board, had sailed from that port direct to San Jose de Guate- mala.
 The agent also stated that the cargo had been discharged at La Libertad, aud that the commandante at that port had refused to dispatch the vessel.
 Vice-President J. B. Houston, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, said this afternoon that he had received 8 dis patch stating that the company's steaSer City of Panama had been seized and de tained at La Libertad by the authorities of San Salvador because there were politi- cal refugees on board. The details are very meagre, the dispatch having evi- dently been ''edited" with great care by the San Salvador officials.
 Gen. Latona is a passenger on the City of Panama. He is a political refugee, bound from Corinto, Nicaragua, to San Jose de Guatemala. How this concerns the San Salvadorans is not stated, but they demanded his surrender at La Union.
 Capt. White refused to comply with the order and the commandant of the port refused him clearance papers. He sailed without them, telegraphine the inform ation to the agent at Panama, who advised him to make the port of San Jose de Guatemala direct, fearing the wrath of of President Ezeta, who has an armed force at Acajuala.
 Capt. White, no doubt, had to stop at La Libertad to let off passengers. There he was told that his ship would be con fiscated unless he gave up the five politi- cal refugees, whose names are not given He again refused to give up the men |, who were under the protection of the American flag, and he was not allowed to proceed on his way.

IT is difficult to keep political secrets, therefore it isn't surprising that the fact should have leaked out that Candidate Mckinley wrote to Secretary Post, r implorihg hIs aid to raise money for his campaign. In this letter Mckinley was particularly bitter against the Pitts burg glass manufacturers, who, he said, had promised to contribute $25, ,000, but had only given $1 BOO. Mir Fosters own tongue gave this away. In spite of the statement of Chairman Clarkson that the republican national committee would take no part in any of the state campaigns this year, it is known that it has already sent a large amount of money to Ohio, and that it is now engaged in raising more, intended for the same destination. Republicans, near to the committee, have boasted. also, that they would buy up the peo- ple's party of Ohio, as they knew many of it's leaders to be for sale.

UNEXCELLED as material for a romance is the story of Frank Woosley and John Brock, who left Springfield, O., together fifteen years ago. They went to Texas ranch to raise cattle. For some reason best known to himself, one day Wcosley disappeared utterly, as completely as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. Cowboys and miners have way of reaching conclusions quickly, and at once it was suspected that his partner had murdered and made away with Woosley. Brock was arrested and only by the skin of his teeth escaped being strung up to the nearest tree. He did get out of the lynchers' clutches alive, however. From that day on he had one object in life. It was the finding of his lost partner. On this depended the es- tablishing of his good name among men. He was either deeply injured man or suspected murderer. He vow ed his life and such fortune as he had to finding Woosley. He found a trace at length and followed it to the end. At last he has found him, alive and pursu- ing his way like an ordinary mortal. He had known of his former partner s search for him, but kept silent. The rest of the story is that Brock has now sued Woosley for $2O, ,000 damages in not discovering himself and thus proving Brooks innocence.
