While others are closing out last sea- sons patterns in Carpets, we are showing the new Fall Goods, and busier season in this class of goods we have never ex, perienced at this time of year. The New Goods are in exceedingly attractive de- signs to please the eyes of all-but the prices: Better still. We speak of the Best All-Wool Ingrains that regularly bring 67t and 75c. a yard. We are sell ing these qualities at soc. and 55c. a yard. Perhaps that has something to do with our busy times. Better investigate.

The Advance: The absurdities of the sympathetic strike have been numerous, but none of them more gross than that of the attempt of some members of the Chi cago council to pose as friends of the la boring classes and against capitalists. One or two of these men are the most no- torious boodlers in the council. They have never failed to champion the very worst ordinances for the benefit of monop- olies. They have voted franchises worth millions away from the people and into the hands of capitalists. Every laboring man in the city is paying tribute to mon- opolies who have become rich and power ful and insolent through the votes of the boodlers in the council. And yet when the strike is over these men will be look ed upon as champions of the laboring mans cause. What is still worse, the great mass of laboring men will not know the difference, and will go on voting these rascals into office, and they in turn will keep on voting franchises into the pock- cts of the capitalists.

TIE Stafford springs Agrioultural so-

THE Stafford Springs Agricultural So- ciety have set the dates of October 9th, 10th and 11th for the fair. The attrac- tions are not yet decided upon, but it is probable that on the first day there will be trotting and pacing race for $150, time limit 2.50, horses to have been own- ed in the county on or before and from August. 1st, also bicycle races mostly upon the first day. As there is no en- trance money paid in these races those interested in bicycling are proposing. to raise a part of the money for procuring prizes by subscription as. an inducement for the society to also deal liberally with contestants.

The introduction of trolly cars has al ready produced an effect on the price of horses, so that such as are required by the United States army are bought at greatly reduced prices. A government purchasing agent in the west says that in fifteen years he has not known dealers so anxious to sell at 0 small profit.

Colchester will sustain a serious loss

Colchester will sustain serious loss in the removal of the rubber works to Prov idence, R. l., which will occur about August.1. The works have often been idle, but they have always furnished, at least, the hope of employment, and usual ly have kept many hands busy. It was the chief industry of the place, and can i'll be spared.

In an. article on some "Edible Toad stools and Mushrooms" in the August number of Harper's Magazine, William Hamilton Gibson declares that the diff ference between toadstools and mush- rooms is purely imaginary. Some mush- rooms that look poisonous are edible, and the only toadstool that contains a deadly poison looks like very innocent pure white mushroom. Mr. Gibson il- Illustrates his article with pictures of eighteen varieties of mushrooms, and ex- plains very minutely how the novice can distinguish the poisonous from the edible sorts which are most common in our woods and pasture.

IF towns could grow as fast in fact as they do in the estimates of boomers what a country ours would be in 1900! But once in ten years comes the census taker, and the population liars all take to abus- ng the poor enumerator for brief period, and then-resume estimating and brag- ging. The town clerk of New Haven now puts the population of that city at 1OO,- OOO. Hartford's clerk modestly estimates the growth of his city within the year at 4,O00, and the other towns and cities fol- low in the same line. These estimates are for the use of the state board of health, and the cities want their death rate to correspond to them. Of course city with 70,OOO inhabitants and a corresponding rate of mortality, will figure up to be 8 very healthy place with an estimate of 100, 900 put upon it's population.

How many aspirants for the republican nomination for congress from the 1st dis trict will be in the field this fall it is hard to tell, but the better prospects of elec- tion, as compared with those of two years ago, may naturally be expected to i'm crease the number. Holland county fur nished the candidate in 1862, and since then republicans of the county have been content to give good support to candi- dates from Hartford county, as each and every one of such candidates will testify. She gratefully accepted the honor which came to her in 1893, when, after an inter- val of thirty years, another of her sons was honored in the selection, an honor which was voluntary recognition by the district of the strength and fitness of Mayor Henry of Rockville. :. He made a fight against odds, and was defeated by the tobacco producing towns of Hartford county, the very locality which was most counted upon for his support. His can- vass showed great personal strength. MT. Henry is practical business man, of sound judgment, capable of clear express ion, and would carry influence as 8 con- gressman, on the floor or in the commit tee room. Should Hartford county dele gates deem, as they should, that he de- serves renomination, Holland county re- publicans are ready to say thank you, and, as in the past, support the ticket Loyalty and zealously.

DIFFERENT opinions are expressed con- corning a letter written by President Cleveland to Congressman Wilson, evi- dently intended to be read (and read it was) in congress during deliberation of the Wilson tariff bill vs. the German bill. Some condemn the act as unprecedented, claiming that the presidents duty does not extend to the point of taking part in debate upon pending questions before con- gress, others holding that this is one of his duties. The letter makes use of such strong expressions as inconsistent ab- surdity," Outrageous discriminations, !" and party perfidy and party dishonor. !" The real question, he says, is whether democratic congress is going to turn it's back, deliberately and squarely, on demo- cratic principles. He exhorts the house democrats not to permit any "stress of necessity" to drive them into any such tergiversation.
 Whether right or wrong to have been put to such & use, the friends of the Me- Kinley bill are rejoicing that the letter was read, since it seems to have separated the free trade supporters into warning fac- tions, warranting hope that the disa- greement between the two branches of congress may prevent the passing of new tariff bill by the present congress. A curi- ous anomally is that Senator Vest is now heard scoring the president for his strong criticism upon the bill as amended by the senate, while Senator Hill of New York as stoutly defends him, and is consistent in doing this, as the president demands free coal, iron and wool, just as Sen ator Hill has done. But southern sena- tors interested in the iron and coal pro- duct are hardly likely to yield this point.
