For many long year Hiram Peck of
Southington has displayed this notice
over his front door, Live single, and you
will be happy" Yet has he fallen vic
tim to the charms and graces of Miss
Mary H. Browne of Meriden. When, as
married man, he takes that board
down, he will not have been the first of
his unfortunate and defenseless sex who
has proposed and had a woman dispose
for him.-New York Evening Sun.

BILLY BURKE, THE BURGLARS BANE.

Harry A. ST. John of New York city,
read "Old Sleuth'' books till his mind
was full of detective knt ledge He had
almost as many DISCUSSES as Old Sleuth
wore, and he became the most daring,
original and ingenious detective that New

of business.
A few days ago he entered large dry

Ten Minutes ut Bailey's.

A short call at Woven Wire
Bailey's well repaid BULLETIN
reporter the other day. The unique
machinery in use there f,r
the manufacture of mattresses
and beds is interesting, to say the
least. Mr.. Bailey has n wire
weaving apparatus which weaves
a wire mattress of the best quality
in less than an hour. He con-
sumes several tons of iron each
month in the manufacture of iron
beds and out Of each 81 tons has
about 1900 pounds waste. This
is a large item, so Mr.. Bailey, to
prevent loss in that direction, has
a drilling machine and forge and
converts the waste into braces for
telephone poles, etc. Excellent
materials are used in all parts Of
the mattresses turned out by
Bailey.

The Vancouver News Advertiser
says that the Canadian Australian
steamship Warrimoo has been
thoroughly overhauled since run
ming aground off Bonilla Point
some three months ago. The re-
pairs necessary were much greater
than was at first expected, for over
80 plates and a number of knees
had to be taken off and straight
ened, and u portion Of the frame
which was found to be seriously
twisted also necessitated straight
ening. The whole work of repair
cost something like 1925 600 and
took three weeks with large
gang Of men working night and
day. Capt. G. E. Bird has resum-
ed the command. and Mr.. Law
renee, of the MIowera, has taken
Mr.. Arundel's position as first
officer of the Warrimoo during
this trip.

Much attention is now being
given to the raising of provender
for stock on these islands. Nearly
all of the pineapple raising COM
panies on this island have some
ground in grain, to be cut green
for forage, besides which luxur-
liant patches OF alfalfa are to be
seen. AS the country imported
grain and feed to the value of
1878 ,449 in 1894, the importance
of these efforts to raise fodder at
home may be estimated.

FOR CLEMENCY.

There has not been a valid rea-
son given by the opponents of
slemency to the remaining prison
srs of the instruction for their
attitude. They have been chal-

Of clemency would do violence to
She leading principle of modern
penology, which is that penalties
are imposed on the guilty for the
prevention of crime. The crime

tack succeeded, all the legal au-

no crime. Having been easily
Iepulsed its authors and SUP

order. There is no doubt that
iheir object was to substitute one
system of law and order for an

not seeking to institl te anarchy,
although their action was liable
TO end in such. They took their

the movement, either prisoners of
war or political prisoners. All
the lessons required for the pre-

with crushing emphasis. Accord

by the most civilized nations,
then, clemency to both the pri-

II Timely Topics
ADDRESSED TO THE YOUNG
MAN WHO WANTS
A TANDEM.

Young man, you will do
we'll to wait until you see the
Tribune TandemS, which will
be the finest manufactured,
embodying all the latest i'm
provementS up to 1896. Don't
be deceived into buying a lot
of StearnS' yellow Fellows"
that are back numbers and
were manufactured in 1894
and sold on the western shores
in 1895 as up to date, when
they are not. We have reason
to believe and are so informed
by reliable San Francisco agents
that the "Stearns' wheels that
have been imported and placed
on sale here are not of the lat
est pattern, and hence caution
would-be purchasers to look
out for themselves and not be
deceived into buying an anti
quated wheel.
One of the largest dealers in
bicycles in the United States
furnishes us with the following
information in regard to the
"StearnS" wheel for publica-
ton:
This is a wheel that, owing
to the nice finish and the fact
that they were the first to get
out an adjustable handle bar,
took quite a squirt, but we have
known of many cases where
they have not given SatiSfac-
ton. The writer in October,
1894, bought a "Stearns' wheel
that was badly out of order in
December. He sold it to a
friend of his and it has been
the cause of complaint con-
stantly since. AT the same
time two "StearnS" ladies'
wheels were purchased, and
they have been a source of ex-
penSe and annoyance ever
since, until the two ladies own
ing them sold them at a sacri-
flee and bought Tribunes, and
they claim that the Tribune
wheel is far superior to the
StearnS.
These facts speak for them
selves. We ask any intending
purchaser to take one of the
StearnS wheels to any first-clas
mechanic and have him take it
apart and compare it with the
corresponding features of the
Tribune wheel. We know that
an honest opinion would be
that the Tribune is by far the
better wheel and hence make
the challenge.
We have some Tribune Tan
dems on the way here direct
from the factory. The reason
we did not get them on the
Australia was because they
were not finished. Everybody
remembers Punch's advice to
people about to get married,
which was Don't" We give
the same advice to those about
to purchase a Stearns tandem
or single wheel. Call and ex-
anime the Tribunes; they are
far superior in every respect
and won't eat up your wages
in repairs.
We have ten boys and girls
wheels for Christmas, and we
intend to sell every one of
them.

After investigation of the subject l am

laborers can be recruited FOR this place and
be reasonably sure of ob aiming them.
