GEORGE HULTs IS ALIVE. Singular Mistake of Several Gentle-


 Several gentlemen not long ago made an unusual error when they stated that George Hults of the Annex was dead. As the per sons who made the statement are men of excellent regulations it is evident that the mistake was accidental and not intentional.
 Mary A. Futile of East Haven, who died last November, made will in which she named George Hults as executor. When the will was presented at the probate office several gentlemen informed Judge Robert son that MT. Hults was dead. On this oc- casion the judge took the unusual pains to have the death proved, and accordingly others testified to the death, when one of gentlemen stated that he had attended the funeral of George Hults.
 Upon such evidence letters of admins tration were issued to Charles F. fleming way of East Haven.
 When MT. James Futile recently asked friend about the date of the death he was informed that MT. Hults was not dead, and investigation showed that MT. Hults was unmistakably alive. MT. Hults is an invalid and confined to the house. When Judge Robertson was informed of the fact he stated that the record could be changed only by taking proper legal steps. 1nasmuch, however, as the benehciaries could gain nothing and only cause delay | in settling the estate by making such ap- plication, the best way out of the difficulty is to let matters remain as they are, and in that case to all intents and purposes MT. Hults will remain legally dead so far | as the document is concerned in the pres ence of the probate court, and MT. Hem I ingway will continue to serve as admins I

Disturbances at Dances by the
 Freshmen and Its Unfortunate
 Outcome.
 The dances that are held at frequent in- tervals at the Sassacus armory have been frequented by college men, and especially the freshmen. Squabbles between the town men and the collegians have occurred at every dance. About six weeks ago some trouble arose between the warning over partners, and a rough and tumble fight insued. After the fellows had blacked each others eyes and spoiled each others faces for some time, the police came in and restored order.
 In some way the faculty heard of the affray and got some names. AS result the class of '95 will be decreased by two shining lights. Several others have been warned, but as it is not absolutely certain that they were in the melee. Unless new evidence transpires they will be safe on good behavior.

If you suffer from lame back, especially in morning, Allcock's Plasters are sure relief.
 If you cannot sleep, try Allcock's Plas- ter, well up between the shoulder blades often relieves cures. Try this before you resort to opiates.
 If any of your muscles are lame-joints stif-feel as if they wanted oiling-or if you suffer with any local pains or aches, these plasters will cure you.
 If you use them once you will realize why so many plasters have been made in imitation of them. Like all good things, they are copied as closely as the law allows. Don't be duped by taking an imitation when it is as easy to get the genuine.
 If you always insist upon having All cocks Porous Plaster and never accept 6 substitute, you will not be disappointed.
