A Mystery Explained.

! y VIC EullOi VI luo JOURNAL AND COURIER.
1t seems to be a profound enigma to
most people that the government, after
many years of fancied but false security,
should now suddenly become aroused to
the necessity of putting the long neglected
harbor of New Haven in defensible con-
dition. Even people residing at distance
so remote from tide water as do the in
habitants of Hamden are greatly sgitated
over these warlike preparations, fully be-
lieving, in the innocence of their souls,
that our Yankee land is about to be in
vaded by hostile foreigners, and that
shells, propelled from guns of long range,
are about to burst over their unprotected
heads.
But this highly commendable action on
the part Of the government is no longer
involved In mystery. 1t is not from any
fears of war with foreign powers that
Uncle Sam is about to transform the harm
less old ruin called Fort Hale into an i'm
portant harbor fortifcstion, for something
of more serious import was the impeilipg
influence.
When it became known in Washington
that the harbor of New Haven was sub
ject to the predatory inoursions of vessels
painted, from stem to stern, an "Erebus''
color, and manned by italian buccaneers
who swore in several different Languages,
drank nothing milder than champagne and
claret punch, and who even descended to
that depth of meanness which impelled
| them to capture innocent and unsuspect-
ing" young men, in puris naturalibus,
while bathing-when all this was known
| at Washington 1t at once became evident
that measures must Immediately be taken
by congress to have heavy ordnance
mounted on the long silent and peaceful
rsmpsrts of Fort Hale.
To be sure, these swarthy buccaneers,
/ according to reliable authority, have
| nothing, in the way of armament, more
dangerous than a goodly supply of
''smooth-bore" glass bottles, we'll loaded /;
but 1t is we'll, nevertheless, to be fully pre-
pared for something more serious, for 1t
/ cannot be surmised what desperate meas
ures may be resorted to by these marine
| marauders in their future lawless opera
tons.
This explanation, inspired by philan-
| thropic impulse, is intended to supply a
| "long felt want" in the way of informa-
| ton, in the minds of q suffering COM
munity; and to clear away all the mystery
| that has seemed to envelope the action of
l the government in this instance.
The "Warning" which appeared In the
| editorial columns of the COURIER few
days ago was opportune and should be
needed; but since the government Is soon
| to take measures for our safety 1t ia hoped
that those particularly nervous persons
who cannot sleep nights in the contempla-
ton of our present exposed condition will
he soothed by the knowledge here i'm
| parted. P.

The very best way to know
whether Dobbins' Electric

be, is to TRY 1T YOURSELF. 1t
can't deceive YOU. Only be
careful not to get an imitation.
There are a great many Elec-
tries and Magnetics, all intend
ed to deceive the public into
supposing that they are Dob
bins Electric, or just as good.
We have made this since 1860.
1t is the original Electric and
is guaranteed to be worth four
times as much as any other

anything, from the finest lace
to the heaviest blanket, it is
without a peer. Only follow
directions.
