A New Occupation For Good Singers

Court St., New Haven Conn.

GEO. S. PoND, Supt.' Supply Dept, Ill
Court ST., New Haven Conn.
We notice in your telephone guide that
YOU are prepa' ed to furnish all inds of
Electrical Supplies and an idea has oc-
Cured to our minds that perhaps You
could put into practical operation For
several years we have been engaged not
only in furnishing the houses of the PEG
Pile, but in sweetening their tempers as
we'll thus preparing them for the good
time coming. But we find an influence at
work that is fast destroying our Mission
ary labors, Human nature loves y change
and many of our Customers go around
from store to store in response to unscru-
pulous merchants who advertise goods at
half price, and as usual they find the goods
are only worth half price, or the LAST
ONE is JUST GONE. This of course sours
their tempers to such an extent that when
they get around to us again to trade you
can light match with the fire from their
eyes. We think you can help us out by
applying Il radical remedy which was sug-
gested to us lately while attending the Bos-
ton theatre. An actress appeared on the
stage in the garb of peasant girl, and
sang song that perhaps you never heard
before Little Annie Rooney" it is
called. She was singing only few minutes
when the sweet magnetic powers of her
voice anu JuS Cudl ming EAihBAANtty VI Nv
manner grew contagious and all at once
the whole audience was singing and never
stopped until the actress was called out
SEVEN TINES. Everybody who had
rheumatism or dyspepsia forgot all about
it. Now we see no reason why this RENE
dy could not be applied at our wareroom
We have Several Sweet Nightingales in
this City who have charmed us on several
occasions and we think they would accept
fair Salary if you would fit up room
for that purpose so they Could Sing into a
large tube that Could be tapped and CON
veyed into the stores, and when Custom
er came in we Could turn on the music
We are convinced that it would pay, as
the Customers would be always Good
natured, and then it is no trouble to sell a
Parlor Suit, Chamber Set, Carpets,
Crockery, Pictures, Stoves and Ranges,
Shades or anything from the celler TO the
attic for cash or credit.

YOUNG FANCHER BOUND OVER.

The hearing in the case of Henry Fan cher, accused of assault on the person of Isabella Pitchard, both of Hawleyville, was heard before Justice Cavanaugh at the Brick building on Saturday after noon at o'clock. Lawyer W. J. Beech CT and W. A. Leonard of Danbury ap- peared for Miss Pitchard and Mir Fanch- CT was represented by his father, A. B. Fancher, having no legal advisor. Law yer Beecher, in few remarks before the trial commenced, said that he did not think the accused realized how serious was the charge against him or he would have procured proper counsel. Mir Fan cher, Sr., replied that he did not wish the case brought to trial in this court, but to have it bound over to the superior court. MT Fancher, through his father and guardian, was then brought on to the stand, and the charge against him was read, to which he plead mot guilty" Miss Pitchard and her witnesses were then sworn and Lawyer Leonard con- ducted the case. In answer to questions Miss Pitchard said she was 15 years old, and had known Mir Fancher for about a year; that he had kept company with her and on Good Friday night last they were engaged to be married that on the 9th of August they went fishing on Taunton lake and he attempted to hold improper relations with her. Mir Fan cher was asked if he wished to ask the witness any questions, and he replied in the negative. MT Leonard then suggest ed that he be bound over under $2500 bonds to appear in Bridgeport before the criminal court. Justice Cavanaugh thought the bond too large and disposed of the case by binding him over to ap- pear before the criminal court at Bridge port on the second Tuesday of Septem- Der, under $500 bonds. Amos l.. Flaw ley offered to renew as his bondsman, which was accepted by the court.
