Another Ringing Testfmo nial for Dr.
 Damon.

DuIAOhs
 The above named specialist has indeed won for himself an enviable position and worldwide reputation for his remarkable success in the treatment of obscure and chronic diseases, he having no superior or even an approachable equal Almost every day he is in receipt of letters telling him of the high esteem with which he is held in the hearts of those who he has al most snatched from the grave. And now another is added to the long list of testi monials given him by reputable and well known citizens of this city. MT. David Van Hise, whom everybody knows has been great sufferer, for seven years, with a serious kidney and bladder trouble, while for the last two years he was obliged to urinate nearly every hour, often thus making him weak and debilitated. Together with this he was troubled with rheumatism and dumb ague and symptoms of paralysis. He began treat ment with Dr. Damon November 6. And from the first he began to improve, until now he says he is quite well and hearty.
 MT. Van Hise is greatly pleased with his rapid relief, and surely it is gratifying when we think of the many years he has been doctored by others without any re- lief. He now says he cannot say enough in praise of the system that has brought him good health. MT. Van Hise is plain, matter-of fact person, who says just what he means, and one who could not be in- duced to tell anything different from what it was. He lives on Grove street, Fair Haven, and has been employed many years by the well known firm of J. B. Sargent & Go. Dr. Damon's offices at 929 Chapel street are constantly filled with patients seeking an interview with this remarkable specialist eod&wtf

HE IS ALL RIGHT.
Republicans Will Support Major Todd for the Public Works Board.

 Todd for the Public Works Board.
 When Commissioners Todd and Atwater of the board of public works went into the recent deal with the democratic commis- sioners, States and Reilly, to depose Super intendent Kent of thestreet department and to re-appoint tex-Superintendent Doyle to this position, with George L. Ives as assistant, there was considerable grumb- ling in the republican camp. Commission CT Todd had already been re-nominated by the republican caucus for reelection, but several of the prominent party leaders had declared that he had forfeited all claim to the party's support by this transaction It seems, however, that the republican politi- clans are beginning to look upon the course of Commissioner Todd with more favor and that he will receive the entire party support when the aldermen meet on Mon day night to elect commissioners for the various boards. Alderman Daley was one most outspoken against Commissioner Todd for few days after this memorable meeting of the board of public works, but it is evident that this alderman has also decided to look more leniently upon the course of Commissioner Todd Says Al derman Daley: Considerable fault has been found with MT. Atwater and MT
 Todd by their friends for going into the deal with two democrats, and to this ac. ton objection was made. Those gentle
 men answer, however, that they simply took advantage of an opportunity to ge into deal whereby they could get share | of the work for the colored men ano others and com hined with Mr. Rei11v apT
 MT. States so as to get for assistant super | intendent MT. Ives of the Fourth ward. II | the agreement made was an understanding
 that portion of the department work or I the streets, parks, etc, should be given te | republicans. This is their claim Tha
 being so, think there will be no troubl
 when it comes to the election on Monda,
 night. haven't any idea that any alder men will bolt on that night"

Fire Alarm Telegraph.

For number of months Superintend- ent Smith of the fire alarm telegraph has been greatly perplexed with the antics of the electrical apparatus which give out unexpected blows on the city hall bell at various intervals. James Grant, one of the inemen of the department, it was thought, had made the long undiscovered secret of the trouble and for sometime it did not occur. But "Jimmy" must dream again and see if the trouble cannot be ob- viated It is thought the trouble is caused by broken wire which is covered by such strong insulating material as to not reveal itself. This trouble is generally found in g wire running into or near a fire alarm box where the wire is insulated and it is most difficult matter to locate it, as the insulation is so strong that a tremendous pull on the wire would not disclose the location of the break. This is one of the most trying difficulties which electricians have to encounter and many times it takes months to locate the real trouble.

FOR NEEDY FIREMEN.

Annual Meeting of the Firemen's
 Benevolent Association.
 About thirty members of the Firemen's Benevolent association attended the annual meeting which was held last night in the fire commissioners chamber at city hall.
 Chief Hendrick, president of the associa- tion, opened the meeting with a short ad- dress, in which he congratulated the mem bers for the good work done during the year, and Secretary Henry Futile read his annual report, which gave several instances of aid that was afforded needy iremen by the association.
 Treasurer John A. Richardson in his re- port stated that the association was upon good financial footing, but that much more good could be done with increased funds for the needy and disabled members of the department. Most of the funds which have been received during the year came from generous donations from busi- ness men whose stores, shops or buildings had been saved from destruction through the faithful work of the department.
 The officers of last year were reelected for the ensuing year. They are: Presi- dent, A. c. Hendrick; vice president, Will fred F. spang; secretary, Henry Futile; treasurer, John A.
