Of the birth of King Gustavus Adolphus,
the great hero king of Sweden and one
of the first and strongest champions of
Professionalism. has. according to the
Chicago Record, had the effect of call
ing to mind the fact that there is not a
drop of the blood of that monarch in
the veins of the present reignlng fam
lily, excepting in those of the crown
princess, and, through her, in those of
her children, duke of Scani, duke Of
Sundermanie and the duke of Westman-
land. For the mother of the present
grand duke of Baden-father of the
crown princess of Sweden-was a
daughter of that prince of Vasa who
died toward the end of the fifties and
who was the last male descendant of
the Vasa dynasty.
This Prince Vasa was the only son of
King Gustavus w., who was deposed
by his subjects and driven into exile,
the general impression being that he
asinsane, his mental faculties wrecked
by the terrible assassination of his
father by Count Ankerstrom at a ball
given in the royal palace. After his
deposition the Swedes called his uncle
to reign over them. and as the latter
was childless and there was no other
Vasa prince save the deposed king and
his son, they proceeded to elect French
Field Marshal Bernadotte, of peasant
birth and married to the daughter of
a French stockbroker, as crown prince,
1t is he who was the grandfather Of
the present king.
1t may be added that the Swedish
nobility, which is very proud and has
an immense idea of its own Importance
and lineage, looks down upon King
Oscar AS parveuu, and attends his
court with more or less evident re-
luctance. They still revere the mem
DRY of the Vasa kings, and there is
scarcely one of them who, when tray
cling through Germany, does not make
a point of callingat Dresden TO pay his
or her respects TO Queen Garcia of
Saxony, now the only surviving daugh-
of the last Prince NaSa.

DEATH OF MRS II. L. WHEELER.
LOVING CIRCLE BROKEN.


 The death of Mrs II. l.. Wheeler on Sunday night, January :, 1891, N2 year of age, spread cloud of sadness over a large circle of cndcarcd friends in Sandy Hook and Ncwtown. She had been grad ually failing in health for the past five years with consumption, but with her characteristic D 'rsevprAnCe and energy, she succeeded in coming down stairs cv- cry day, until Christmas evening she re- tired to her room feeling that her work on earth was nearly ended. From that time she failed rapidly and was patient sufferer unable to peak or see much dur ing the last two weeks. Her release must have been a welcome boon from her lov- ing Heavenly Father. The funeral ser vices were largely attended on Wednes- day afternoon ar , o'clock from the church where 'hc bad been regular and faithful attendant for the past II year.. Rev W. r. Gilbert, her pa tor, preached an appropriate sermon from Psalms l27 7, For he giveth his beloved sleep" Rev Joseph Munson referred to her bright, useful, uusclti,h life, spent in dO- ing good and miniscering to those who were sick and afflicted, always ready to extend a helping hand to those who were In trouble and alliction ofany kind. He also referred to his childhood days when he loved to visit her home and the pleas ant acquaintance, continuing through all these intervening years. For the bereav- ed husband and daughter he expressed the deepest sympathy, and cOmforted them In this aiIljctiou with the hope of a reunion in the sweet by and by" The floral tributes of calla lilies, d shedf of wheat, a sickle, cross and d standard wreath of immOrtelles, with the word "Mother, were all appropriate and beau tifLl. The intcrment was in the Sandy Hook cemetery, where lie the remains of most of the family who have passed on before. The music w,s furnished by a quartet, consisting of Mr aud Mrs Ezra Hall, Mrs Tucker and Mir TOmlin, was finely rendered. At the grave the piece entitled "LOvest Thou Me" was soothing and grat' ful to bereuved hearts. The pail bearers were Minot Augur, Smith F. Glover, Dr Betts, William Ackley, Silas Fairchild and George Graham. A noble Christian life has left Us! May her man. tie fall on others, who will Ielp to carry on the work, until the tear n' the Sower and songs of the Reaper shall ningle to- gether in joy by and by.

BUSINESS COLLEGE REMOVED

On Monday of this week, Grifin's business college, which has been located in rather cramped quarters for so large a school, at 122 Fairfield avenue, was re- moved to the new block at the corner of Main and Chapel streets in Bridgeport. Here Principal J. F. Griflin has had fit- ted up three large rooms, 25xS0 feet each, and there is no business college in the state that has better quarters than Mir Griflln's college now has. The fur nture and fittings are nearly all new and Mir Griffin intends to make his col lege better place than ever to learn a good business education, with his greatly improved facilities for the work. MT Griffin will also start school in the city of Derby on Monday, and has secured suitable rooms and teachers. Twenty five scholars have already signitied their intention of attending and more are ex- pected soon. Mir Griffin will give his personal attention to both colleges and put them on as high plain as possible.

What the Grand Army Journal, Utica, N. r, gay pr David Kennedy, Discoverer of Dr Ksnne dy's Favorite Remedy.

Dr Kennedy, who will be remembered | by many an old soldier, as president of l the examining board of surgeons for the discharge of invalid soldiers at the Sat- terlee U. $. A. general hospital, West Philadelphia, Pa., found tht need of a | medicine that would dissolve the excess of uric and tactic acid in the blood, which
 is the cause of many ailments physicians encounter, kidney, liver and urinary | troubles, dyspepsia, rheumatism, scro- l fula, salt rheum, excessive nervousness and sleeplessness all arise from this one
 cause. After patient toll and experi-
 ment Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy ! was finally produced.
 ! That it met the want and accomplished the cure of these various diseases is evl-
 dent by the grateful acknowledgements
 of thousands of the best citizens of tie country.
 There are few Grand Army men more widely known than Commander James
 $. Dean of Gen Grant Post, Rondout, N. '. In speaking of Dr kennedy's | Favorite Remedy, Commander Dean re-
 gently said Il suffered from an aggra- vated stomach trouble and chronic dys- pepsia for years. Various physicians prescribed for me without benefit. Af-
 ter using Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy 1 but week l felt better and little fur l ther use completely cured me. It is the grandest medicine on earth and does just | what they say, cures dyspepsia, stomach disorders and builds up a broken down
 or overworked person, for I am living | testimonial to it's merit" Wilbur l..
 Hale, quartermaster, Pratt Post, e. R., l Kingston, N. r., speaks with equally as | forcible words. 'AfGer 1 returned from | the war" said Mir Hale, II had most horrible case of salt rheum. Doctors
 gave me up, but Dr Kennedy's Favorite
 Remedy healed every sore, strengthened
 my nerves and built up my weakened | constitution; 1 now enjoy life"
 F. c. Brink of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, suffered from catarrh of the bladder and | chronic kidney complaint for 20 years
 and had given up all hope of ever find- ing relief, when Dr kenneny's Favori'e
 Remedy was brought to his notice and by the time he had taken the fourth bot tie his old trouble had entirely disaI- peared.
 It is a medicine thAt cares aud we can do no better service to persons who may
 be suffering from disease than to say, ''Use Dr kennedy's Favorite Remt d :,
 for it will cure you if taken according tt directions. ,"

Babbitt's bridge over the Housatonic at Southville needs painting badly, and the Fairfield county commissioners have decided to paint their half. The town of Bridgewater and the Litchfeld county commissioners have been notified, and they will doubtless come forward and paint the share they control. It would look little strange, if Litchfield county should decide to economize and let their half get along with the present shabby dress. But we'el wager I4itchfield cOun- ty will do it's duty.
