" IN the reokery, which for so many
years pod where the Central Hotel now
stands, gave place to the handsome and
commodious structure over which Mr.
Kramlich presides, many seemingly in
telligent citizens predicted that Milford
could not support such hotel, but their
predictions have apparently proven fall
iacious. Mr. Kramlich has called to his
assistance as clerks young men whose
personal popularity naturally draws their
friends to the house, where every guest re-
ceives such attention as will make one
feel contented and at home.

THE tug boat "Aurelia," which sunk
at the wharf of David Lank's ship yard,
on Sunday afternoon last, was righted
on Wednesday, and pumped out. There
has been much contention of late, relat-

has furnished some employment for our
Judiciary with the very bright prospect of
further work ere harmony shall settle
down serenely o'er the "Aurelia's" per

AT this season of the year When trees
are shedding their leaves our streets usu-
ally present a sorry appearance. This
has been overcome somewhat this fall by
an order issued by the supervisor of streets
that property owners and tenants must
keep the pavements and cutters in front
of their homes free from leaves and other
rubbish. As a result the leaves instead
being generally swept into the middle
the street, are taken up and carted
\ y. This adds greatly to the appear

Mr., EDITOR The people of Milford

times hardship to ladies, at the hands of
the railroad company. refer to passen-
ger travel on Saturday evenings in par
ticular. Last Saturday evening was a
passenger on the train which arrives in
Milford at So p. m, and at Harrington
one of the two cars was cut off. One car
would not hold the passengers-the smok-
ing car was more than full--it was packed
and several men who were compelled to
ride ia it did not smoke and were made
sick with headache from the fumes of to-
bacco. The other car had eight men and
three ladies standing in the aisle. Five
persons asked the conductor to take the
secoEd car, and DR.. Layton Grier, of
Dover, demonstrated with him against the
injustice of compelling ladies who had
paid for firstclass transportation being
compelled to stand. This has become
frequent occurrence, and I believe that
justice would be done, did the railroad
authorities know the facts.

MoST farm cellars have no partiholSs
Thus in one room are stored apples po-
totoes. other vegetables, the milk and
butter, together with the canned fruits aud
meat The cellar is usually located di-
rectlY under the kitchen and sitting room,
and not unfrequently the bedroom. It
is a fact that unless the fruit and yegeta-
bles are carefully looked over every
month there will be a great amount of OBJ
noxious vapor constantly coming from
them to centaminate the atmosphere, and
being lighter than cold air it will rise to
the rooms above. Hence it is best on
pleasant days to open the cellar doors
ana windows for proper ventilation, not
leaving them, as many do, Tightly closed
from early winter until April Milk and
butter quickly absorb the odors from de
caying vegetation, injuring the quality
and healthfulness.
