X Five Minutes Talk,

Could we have the favor of a personal interview with almost any resident of Waterbury we are confident we could convince him of the honest sincerity of our belief and moreover could produce re-
 liable evidence to prove our statements.
 We do not admire and never use sensa-
 tional advertising, believing that honest
 and exact statements, together with the
 testimony of respon sible people, concern
 ing an article of true merit, will in the
 end gain the fullest confidence of the
 people. For this reason we shall tell you
 only what we absolutely know and can fully prove. During the last year nu-
 merous cases of obstinate blood diseases of long standing have been cured; victims of jaundice and other liver troubles have been restored to health; sufferers from constipation and it's attendant evils write us of relief and cure and hundreds of people debilitated by disease, old age and overwork, have been made we'll and
 strong again by taking Sawyer's Dande- lion Compound. It contains no chemi- calls, has no inert and dirty sediment (this
 is true of no other kind) is better, purer and costs less than any other spring medi ci @. Do these facts suggest what you should dol Sincerely, -. -,-

AND 80 Carlyle Harris must yield up a life for life. That is the meaning of Recorder Smythe's decision, refusing to grant hlm a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Doubtless executive clemency will now be sought for by the prisoner and hls friends on the plea that the verdict was obtained on purely circumstantial evidence. The case has been very thoroughly tried. It has now been in the courts more than a year. Harris was arraigned for trial before Recorder Smythe on January IA, 1899, and on February 8th following the jury found him guilty as indicted, and he was sentenced to death in due course. His case was carried to the court of appeals, which confirmed the decision of the lower court on January of the present year. Then he and his counsel offered new evidence, and the recorder heard it patiently, and after two weeks careful study of it has de. .cided that it does not give ground for g new trial. The case is a remarkable one. There is apparently no doubt that morphine killed Mrs Harris. There is only circumstantial evidence to show that it was given her by Harris. There is no conclusive evidence that she tooh it of her own motion. There has beer no motive shown that would seem tc many powerful enough to induce Harris to kill her. He might have wanted hel out of the way on account of the un
 comfortable situation in which the mar
 riage had placed him. He, of course
 says he didn't, and saysshe never haG any thought of harming her.

Fl feel now nke new man
 "What do you think of taking an old man of 75 years, physically weak and broken down, and making him feel like boy again Giving him new life, health and strength, and adding 15 pounds of solid flesh to his weak and de- bilitated frame
 "And all in two months, with three bottles of Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy We'll, that is just what has taken place in me. Instead of being weak, debilitated and exhausted, just able to drag myself around, I feel now like a new man advise all to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy"
 This is the best news possible, especi- ally at this season of the year when every body is thinking about taking g spring medicine. This wonderful reme- dy is just what you need, and if you use it you will find that it will make a new person of you in feeling and health. It is the ideal spring medicine, because il is the most perfect blood inviRoratol and nerve strengthener.
 It is purely vegetable and harmless and druggists keep it for $1. Doctors recommend it, indeed it is the prescrip tion and discovery of one of our most prominent physicians, Dr Greene, the successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, of S5 w. 14thSSt New York. He can be consulted free personally or by letter.

DOUBTLESS the report from Washing ton that the postmaster-general will not allow a country postoffice to be located in a country store is off the same piece of cloth as a great many recent state ments purporting to come from the same quarter, but which are not so. A country store where the patrons can buy their postage. stamps, as we'll as their groceries, provisions, clothing medicines, newspapers, stationery, books, clocks, jewelry, salt codtish and red herring, and likewise talk politics and hear all the village gossip, is some thing that goes with about every vel regulated hamlet in this country.

And Something Which is Easily Within
 the Reach of All.
 Newburg, N. Y, has had a sensation.
 It seems that H. s. Shorter, Esq, an old resident of 75 years of age, who re- sides at 391 Broadway, Newburg, began to grow languid, got tired easily, waR nervous and debilitated. until at last he became 50 weak and exhausted that he was just able to drag himself around. He lost flesh and strength so rapidly and be- came SO alarmingly prostrated that his friends and relatives despaired of his life.
 Now came the marvellous change.
 Suddenly Mir Shorter was transformed from his condition of extreme weakness to one of strength; his nerves grew quickly strong and steady, his muscles became vigorous, his blood was revivi- fled and enriched, he gained 15 pounds in weight, and to-day he is in sound and perfect health.
 Such 8 remarkable transformation in man of his age was 8 nine days won- der.
 Of course the cause was eagerly looked for.
 And the following astonishing facts are stated exactly as they fell from Mir. Shorter's own lips:

A YOUNG woman who brings sixty pairs of gloves home frnm Europe in her trunk, and swears that they are for her personal use, ought to see that they are all of the same size. The same rule holds good as to bringing over other articles of feminine use and adornment. The omission to observe this rule is what has brought several enterprising young women to grief at the New York custom house.

After recapitulating, in its financial
column, the tortuous and complicated
course by which the Bay State Gas Com
pany of Boston has cancelled its famous
$4,500,000 note-as told in an article we
reprint elsewhere--and requesting the
reader to fast for day so as to render
his intellect unusually clear" that he
may be able to comprehend the cause of
procedure recited, the Boston Herald
says:
The Herald hopes its readers have been
able to follow it through this maze, and it
hopes they understand better than it does
why 81 300, 900 Boston United Gas first series
5s should be given by NewJersey company
for note of 81, $4,000, that had been con-
structed az q conduit to convey the earn
ings of Massachusetts company to a
Delaware company. IL was eminently tit
ting that the new stock of the Massa-
chusetts company should be put behind
the first and second series of bonds. Per.
haps the method of conveyance is less i'm.
portant than the fact. Perhaps the Herald
fails to grasp the method. But what a
complication of companies was invented
by Mr.. Addicks and associates to do a
simple gaslighting business in Boston
And what complicated system of ac.
counting this complication has entailed
1t is almost enough to unbalanee the intel.
lect to follow such systems of reckoning

The Baltimore Sun, speaking as one
having the warrant of experience, and
not as scribe merely, remarks that at
is a paradoxical truth that the only
persons whom the Creator has endowed
with an instructive knowledge of cor
rect methods of bringing up children are
the very ones who never had any.
Blessings and burdens are frequently
deposited upon the shoulders of the un.
appreciative and weak, respectively. 1t
is very simple matter--this bringing
up of other peoples children. It's like
saving money for other people, and
there is no one Of us but can offer
valuable hints and theories upon either
subject" This, by way of leading up
to the comforting prophecy that the
twentieth century will develop the
study of child nature with fullness Of
which we are now only beginning tc
conceive, and that "no branch oil
natural history has ever yielded up the
4. treasures to mankind that the new
science will unfold"

Taking up the question of free wool,
California being the third State in point
of wool production, the San Francisco
Ne,OS Letter shows: First, that the cost
of freight and necessary charges on
Australian wool is two cents per pound,
this being a natural protection in
dependent OF law. Next, that grazing
land in Australia has to be rented from
the government, while in this country
it is Obtained free from rent. Thirdly,
that wages are as high in Australia as
they are in California; so that the labor
bubble falls to the ground. Finally
that we cannot produce in this country
the grades OF wool that Australia ex.
ports and that our manufacturers need
Next
