brought young gorillas with him on
some shaving voyage from Africa and
abandoned them with the. rest OF his

The climatic conditions being the

would naturally have thrived and
brought up their fiourishing progeny.

Postmaster N. D. Sperry received an
Official letter from Postmaster General

him for the highly efficient manner In
which he has conducted the New Haven

had given the head of the department.
Mr.. Sperry has served under sixteen post
master generals.
Mr.. Sperry has been requested by the
treasury department to forward two pho
togrsphs of the lot in the rear of the post
Office on which the proposed addition will
be erected and also diagram of the lot,

SEATS FOR THE ssUREATloN., >,

The Sale to Open at 9 O'Clock This
Morning-Twelve Men In Line Last
Evening.
The sale of seats for the production of
Hayda's Creation" at the Hyperion,
March 10, under the auspices of the Gou-
nod society, opens at the Hyperion box
Office this morning at o'clock.
Early yesterday morning five men were
in line and at 8 O'Clock last evening about
a dozen had places. Mr.. DeForest wishes
to correct any erroneous impression which
has gone forth concerning the number of
seats which will be sold to each person.
Ten tickets will be sold to one person for
both the afternoon and evening perform
ances. No seats have been checked prior
to the opening of the sale, notwithstand-
ing the rumor that has gone forth to that
effect.
This coming concert is arousing great
interest throughout the city both on ac-
count of the superior excellence of the
soloists engaged and the beauty of the
oratorio music. The "Creation" was tie
first oratorio produced in this country and
has always held high place among the
lovers of music. Mr.. Deane in his lecture
at the United Church chapel last Thursday
evening interested great many more
people who were not especially educated in
music and gave great deal Of information
which was needful to understand the
oratorios.
Of Miss Emma Juch it is hardly neces
sary to say much. She has been heard
twice in this city in the past two years

The ConsoIidated Road Reported TO
be Negotiating for the Boston and
Maine-The Report Denied by thol
Omcials or the Road-Special Meet
ing of the Consolfdated's Directors
A Quarterly Dividend of Two and
Half Per Cent. Declared.
Is the Consolidated railroad eontem-
plating the purchase or leasing of the
Boston and Maine systema This ID the
latest question which is at present agitat-
ing the minds of the stockholders of the
Consolidated and the general public. The
officers aud directors of the company deny
that any such deal is contemplated, but
there are some who believe that the deal
Is being seriously thought Of and may pos
sibly be consummated.
A special meeting Of the board of direct
ors was held Saturday in New York at
which, 80 dispatch from that city says, q
committee was appointed to negotiate with
the Boston and Maine for It's purchase or
for q perpetual agreement with reference
to the transportation of freight The other
business transacted was the declaring or
the quarterly dividend of 81 per cent. The
form of the leases which are to be acted
upon at the meeting of the stockholders In
| this city April was also decided upon.
In reference to the alleged action OF the
directors In appointing a committee TO
| negotiate with the Boston and Maine road,
| President Clark said last evening that 1t
| was absurd, and that no such action had
| been taken. Director E. 81. Trowbridge
absolutely denied that the matter had ever
come up at the meeting.
| The Boston and Maine system has for
it's main line the route from Boston to
Portland, 116 miles. There ia also q
branch to Kennebunkport. Another di.
Il vision runs from Boston to Haverhill, ~
miles. The Boston and Newburypori
is 40 miles in length. The York Harbo1
and Beach road is q line of II miles, run.
ming from Porthmouth, N. H., to
York beach. The Medford branch out Of
Boston is five miles long. The eastern
division was formerly the Eastern railroad
| and runs from Boston to Portland via Of
Lynn, Salem, Portsmouth, Kittery and
Old Orchard. This division Is 10S miles
Boston to North Conway. Still another
line Is the Worcester, Nashua and Port
land division. And another line is the
Lowell. with numerous branches. Tn,
Central railroad of Massachusetts rum
from Boston to Northampton. There i
also the Passumpsic division, the Con
necticut River road and many other shor
branches. The Boston and Maine owns o.
controls 200 miles of railroad. If tn
Consolidated should secure this system
and also the Old Colony (Which is nov
practically lessed) it will have over 2, 40
miles of railroad, or a line considerable,
longer than from New Haven to Chicag
and return.

The proprietary medicines
kept here are genuine.
Moreover, they are fresh.
The big store probably sells as
much patent medicine as all the
drug stores put together.
Many times a large shipment
only lasts a week. Such quick
turning over insures fresh stock,
and freshness often forms hall
the virtue of a medicine.
There's a little list we've pre-
pared for you giving the prices
of all the tried and reliable rem
edies kept here. This list is had
for the asking.
A third saved in nearly every
case-in many a full half.
Costs money to be sick. Don't
let it cost you more than you can
help.
Speaking of illness, there's no
doubt great deal of it might
be prevented by a little precau-
ton and the. use of the proper
appliances.
Cheapest and best of all these
is the rubber hot-water bag.
This is the season for pneu-
monia, grip, congestion and the
other foes of human life which
march in line of battle with
common colds in the van guard.
And not one of those deadly
diseases but surrenders to the
hot-water bag, if attacked in
time.
You'll find these life preserv-
ers at the big store good bit
under drug store prices.
Better not be without one an
other day.

used to pay for the so-called

Some said it couldn't be done.
But big store methods
brought to bear bring about the
result. Maybe we had to buy
enough to. swamp a score of
small. shops, but that's our look
out.
There are some dealers who
will tell you that this stationery
is an inferior grade. They're
honest, no doubt, and base their
opinion on our prices. But
they're in error. The grade of
this paper is THE BEST. 81
Not one or two sorts, either,
