How can Kelly sell Jones Flour for such a low price: Because he is the only dealer in the NsugAtuck Valley who buys -four direct from Jones Mill His purchase this week was GOO barrels. and Jones says 1t is the best -four that is milled in the Ubited States and it makes the sweetest and the whItest bread of any patent of flour on the market. further say. any family who buys a barrel of Jones Flour and it doDt suit you Kelly will take back the -four and give you back your money and you can have the baking for nothing.

The great kirmess is over and has been placed on record as one of the greatest social events that has ever been known in Waterbury. It was a success away and beyond the expectations of the manage ment. The gross receipts amounted to g. 500. Thy expenses were about $4OO, leaving @ net balance of 2,lOO, to be divided between the women's auxiliary of the Y. NJ. 0. A. Manager Jacques and Captain Eddy. Miss Margaret Gretter was the recipient of s25 in gold from the management. in recognition of her untlr- ing efforts in behalf of the affair. Captain Eddy left for Worcester yesterday.
 About 1925 to-day an alarm of fire was sent in from box 4 at the corner of Grand and South Main streets. Companies 1 and responded and found the fire in the third story of the house at No 23 Uuion street, over Peter Bennett's grocery store
 The place is occupied by Martin Phelan. his wife and their three sons, all of whcm were at work when the fire started. A little girl who does the housework noticed smoke coming into the kitchen and re- ported to the woman who lives of the second floor. On investigation it was found that the chimney was on fire and that the flames were fast eating their way into the room. Two streams of water were poured into the chimney and in a short time the fire was extinguished. The principal damage was by water which flooded the whole building. passing down into the rooms on the second floor and then into Mir Bennetfs store. The build
 ing belongs to the estate of the late John Calvin, P. Holohan, administrator. Il was the opinion of some people that it was not necessary to use 30 much water. but it was not the kind of weather to fool with fire for the wind was blowing at a lively rate and if the flames succeeded in gaining any headway nothing could save the whole building and those adjoining IL The fire men acted prenptly and did good ssrv,oe

CLEws sANGUISE.

The Weekly Financial Report Has d Very

New YoRK, Aug. 2l.-Henry Clews
has this to say of the situation: The
market has at last been freed from the
cloud Of uncertainty. doubt and fear
which has been it's great drawback for
many months. The Washington DOM
ination has practically ceased and rail-
road properties are once more in q posi-
ton to be influenced by the returns
from . gradually increasing traffic,
which In bound to follow the settlement
of the tariff question. The depreciation
in values and stagnation in business
has been q matter of more than q year,
and it may take as long as that to bring
the country back TO its previous condi-
ton of prosperity; hut the recovery is
certainly coming and has already
started. The work of q year cannot be
undone in a week or month. and from
time to time there will undoubtedly be
gatherings and setbacks,
bnt with it all TIE foundation of fusi-
ness will gradually assume broader pro-
portions until the restoration OF con-
idence in all lines and all quarters ii
complete. Europe has already per-
ceived the Frightening financial skies
here and has been quick to recognize
the ~adyisability OF accommodating Ameri-
can railroad properties while it san be
done at low figures. Each day brings
fresh buying orders from abroad, and
foreigners are getting as anxious to hold
our securities now AZ they were to Lot
them 90 q while back. Added TO this
the absorption OF bonds and stocks.
which are now looked upon as nm
reasonably low, continues, that Is, they
are being bought and taken out of the

The attitude for everybody TO take now
is on the building mp side, which car
ries with it cheerfulness, hopefulness
and profit to all who put their shoulders
TO the wheel and take hold with q vim.
We cannot do better than point ont the
wisdom OF our advice of 10 days ago to
the effect that the stock market would
be governed by what ia ahead, and not
by what has passed; that the old con-

Antiquity or the.Alphanet.

According to Philippe Berger's book
entitled "Histoire de rEcritus dams PAN
tiquite, /" the alphabet was invented about
1900 B. c., that invented by the Ph@-
nicians being without doubt the oldest
of all the forms of expressing thought
on sounds by character. Originally it
and all other alphabets were simply q
series of hieroglyphics or picture char
acters, the idea of an elephant or an OK
being expressed by rude sketches of
such animals, authorizations being in the
form of a pair of tusks, horns, etc. Pro-
lessor Auer (see Vienna edition OF his
.'Sprachalle,' l849) says that, taking
both the ancient and modern alphabets
into account, as many as 400 different
sets Of characters, hieroglyphics and let
tiers may be enumerated, that these
are all outgrowths Of the PhGnician
mode Of mutely expressing thought or
sound, and that If we should set aside
slight variations of form the grand to.
tai Of 400 alphabets would dwindle inn
mediately TO less than 90.
The best oriental scholars have given
it as their opinion that the original Phue-
nician alphabet was composed Of bat 10
characters, yet it Ii known that it con-
tanned at least 81 and probably 90 at the
time when il was adopted by the Greeks.
Why or by whom these extra characters
were invented, or why such an addition
was necessary, has never been explained.
