How a New York Wholesaler Man.
 aged to Save a Child's Life.
 s'She was wee five pound chi]dl''
 That statement was made by William Futile, a merchant at Orono, Osceola Co.,, Mich. "When our baby, Mabel Ruth," he continued, s'was week old, she had a cankered mouth, and was so weak that the nurse said she could not live an hour.
 :tShe vomited everything taken into her stomach, and we had faint hopes of her living. We tried food of different kinds to no purpose, until finally, when sending an order to Thurber, Whyland & Co.,, the great New York wholesale grocers, or dered the best infant food made.
 tThrough unerring judgment and @ kind providence, they sent me lactated food, and it gave my child health and strength. Little Mabel is not yet year old, but she is happy and hearty, and bids fair to live and sing the praises of lactated food herself some day"
 Mothers should remember that lactated food is pure food, and is manufactured under the personal supervision of pro- lessor in the medical department of the University of Vermont. The purity, uni formity and reliability of the product is thus assured.
 In many a household it is the only diet of the bright baby that is the pride of all the family. And in large number of in- stances the child owes it's very life to the use of this food. It makes firm flesh, good blood and healthy bones, while it prevents the summer dangers that are car rying off the little children at such a frightful rate. It is economical, though of course that is lesser consideration, for no true mother would count the cost when buying the only thing that would save her hab1 lifa

 Hon. Henry Bill of Norwich, who died Friday afternoon, was born in 1894. He learned the printers trade in the office of the New London Gazette. For twenty-five years he was book publisher in Norwich and accumulated an ample fortune, but, failing in health, relinquished the business to joint stock corporation under the name of the Henry Bill Publishing con- pany, which is still conducted in Norwich. MT. Bill was public spirited gentleman and believed in the prosperity of his city. He founded Laurel hill, and was the pro- moter of that beautiful suburb. He also established in his native town-Ledyard- public library known as the Bill library, and donated to the city the Laurel hill park, one of the beautiful places of the city. Among other acts of benevolence he has educated several colored gentlemen from the south, one of whom is now a college professor and one an editor in Georgia. In early life MT. Bill was of the democratic faith, and as democrat he was sent to the state senate in 1853, but he soon after joined the anti-slavery party and has been from it's formation an uncompromising re- publican.

THE FIRE CHIEFS, VISIT,

An Unexpected Incident of the Day.
 Sixty representative fremen from the west and south who had been attending the convention in Springfield last week were ably entertained in this city Saturday under the direction of Chief Hendrick Among the party were twenty-five chiefs. Mayor Sargent made an address to the wis itors at the city hall. They were escorted to Heublein's, where lunch was served, and at noon the workings of the local fire de- partment were inspected. In the after noon the visitors were escorted to Savin Rock, where dinner was served at Hills Homestead. The reception committee con- sisted of Chief Hendrick, Fire Marshal Kennedy and Mayor Sargent.
 THE MEAT WAS BURNING.
 A good story comes from No. s's engine house concerning Lester Jackson, the driver of the supply carriage. "Les" had spent wagon and was casting admiring eyes at his rig just before starting. Aboat ten minutes before the company was to start 6 very excited man rushed up to the engine house and said that there was fire al Mrs. Moore's house, 45 Bishop street Now, Bishop street after rain is rather muddy and as this was still alarm, the supply carriage was sent out. When it arrived at the house it was found that there was no fire and "Les" asked 8 reason for calling him out.
 The people around said it was only some meat which had been left to cook on the stove and had burned while the woman went to the store. The smoke had filled the house and was issuing from the win dows, hence the alarm.
 ''Les" went back to the engine house and had just time to put on his parade bridle when the company started.
 "By George!" said ''Les" as he surveyed his mud bespattered carriage, HThere goes two days work for nothing" and he look ed as if there was going to be blood on the moon for the next man who shouted for a fire in a cooking stove.
 The above will go to show why No. S's supply carriage was 50 muddy on an in- spection parade.

Two Investigations Concluded.

Two Investigations Concluded.
 Deputy Coroner Pond has concluded his investigations into the causes of the deaths of Frank J. Bohan, who was killed by the cars at Wallingford August 6, and David M. Orton of New Britain, who fell over board from the Elm City and was drowned.
 In the Orton case Coroner Pond found that the drowning was purely accidental, and in the Bohan case that the accident was due to negligence on the part of the railroad company in not having the gates at the crossing lowered upon the approach of the train. The finding in the Bohan case will be turned over to States Attor- ney Doolittle, and he will decide whether proceedings shall be brought against the railroad company for negligence.
