LITERARY CHAT.

Worthington's illustrated magazine for May shows remarkable progress and growth on the part of this highly enter taining periodical, which has already won for itself an enviable place among the choicest magazines of the day. It has been enlarged by Is pages in order to give space for timely contributions, and also that the excellent papers in the varied departments, which are a marked and very valuable feature of this periodical, may hereafter be printed in larger type, corresponding to that in the body of the magazine. The intentions of the publishers were very liberal at the start, but they are proving them selves far better than their word, and the generous support of subscribers and of the reading public generally, warrants this increased expenditure. Good as all previous numbers are, the issue for May is the best of all; and this is saying much in view of the very high standard of excellence Worthington's has already established for itself.

Caused by the Sudden Changes of
 Temperature.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND RELIEF.
Rheumatism is more prevalent here

Rheumatism is more prevalent here than ever before.
 When this disease fastens upon an in- dividual with it's soreness and pain, swelling the joints, rendering him helpless in his movements. and shattering his use- fulness. he is indeed an object of pity.
 The slight pain in the back. pain or stiff ness of the joints or muscles, is warning indication of an Impoverished condition of the blood, low state of health, and if not attended to at once, means rheu- matism.
 Rheumatism ,an now be relieved and cured.
 Since the introduction of Favorite Rem- edy. by Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y, there has been fewer sufferers than ever before,
 Fayorite Remedy drives out rheumatic poison from the blood, restores the circu- lation, streng gthens the nerve power
 The best proof of it's value is the good 1t has done.
 1T was afflicted with infammatory rheuma- tism for fifteen years, writes Mir; F. Tayer, of posed to be cripple for life. Under physicians treatment grew worse. Dr. Kennedy's Favor ite Remedy helped me from the time first used it, and entirely cured me. Have felt no trace of the disease since, and that was three years ago.
 The beautiful daughter of MT. James Me Farland, of DeMoines, la was help less for months with sciatic rheumatism. After a few doses of Dr. Kennedy's Fav- orite Remedy, she began to grow better, appetite impro we'd, slept we'll and con- tinuing it's use, was cured.
 II was confined to my bed with rheumatism near my heart, ties Mir c. L. Seaver, of Bir- mingham, Conn, and used Dr. Kennedy's Favor ite Remedy but short while before it drove the rheumatism out of my system"
 MT c. Lansing. of Troy, N. T., had rheumatism so bad that he had to be turned over in bed. After using Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy but short while was restored to health
 What reason then for suffering with rheumaticm or neuralgia. This medicine will help you if given trial.

A SUNDAY EXCITEMENT.

1 As the residents of the Street were en- toying their midday meal, last Sunday, | it was interrupted by the alarm of fire. The first available garment was seized
 and there was lively scudding along the
 Street to the top of Church hill. Look l ing down the hill, smoke was seen issu- ing from the windows and basement of Charles Jonas' house. The fire was first discovered by P. Cannon, who lives across the way from MT Jonas, who was out
 among his bee hives. He rushed over to
 the house and made vigorous attempt to arouse some one from the inside, by pounding on the door, at the same time sending some passers by up to the hotels
 to give the alarm. Senator Houlihan and his family of boarders were quickly on
 the scene and with the aid of others who
 had arrived, secured crow bar and forced open the hatchway door. The fire
 was thought to be in the cellar and when the door was opened, a lively blaze and intense heat were found, together with dense smoke. 4 bucket brigade was at
 once formed and while c. H. Peck and
 c. H. Northrop pumped faithfully away
 at the old pump in P. H. Skidmore's back yard, willing hands carried the wa
 ter down to the house. Daniel Camp and Senator Houlihan were the real heroes
 of the day and rushed in where the smoke YVES the thickest in the cellar,
 throwing pails of water on the blazing
 timbers. The front doors were forced
 open and MT Jonas stock of tailor goods
 and some of the furniture was removed
 to the lawn. The cause of the fire is un-
 known, but is supposed to have started
 in box of rubbish in the cellar. Quite
 a considerable damage was done by the
 blaze in having burned through the floor
 in one place. Mir Jonas, with his fam fly, were in Danbury spending Sunday with friends but he came home at once,
 on hearing of the blaze in his house. The
 fire was discovered in the nick of time,
 and but for the prompt action of the im-
 promptu fire brigade, his home would
 have been in ashes. The loss will amount
 to about $200. The place was fully cov-
 cred by insurance.

Gently all efferts TO consumate this agree
ment had failed. This has virtually been
said to have been done for some time. but
even when few days ago word
was unoflicially given out that
the arrangement had been made
there was still an important
detail left unfinished. That detail was
the very important agreement of the
trustees under the mortgages on the New
England property in question. Within a
day or two, however, the final papers.
covering not only the agreement with the
railroad but the agreement with the
trustees under the mortgages, have been
signed aud transferred.
These agreements bind the New York
and New England to remove all of its
present terminal buildings and tracks at
Gaspee street from their present site TO
the new land TO be sold to it by the city
within twelve months from the time that
such land shall be actually transferred
by the city.
This is the last preliminary step that
has prevented progress in the great ter
minal question. and nothing now hinders
the full contamination of the plans by
the y. Y, n. II. and H.
