does not keep back the tide of pros

in the direction of business activity
and will go on until national pros

SIGNED A DEFEATED BILL.
GOVERNOR HASTINGS APPROVES AN ACT
WHICH FAILED IN THE HOUSE.

The discovery has been made that
Governor Hastings has approved a
bill which was defeated by the House
Of Representatives in the closing hours
of the late Legislature. 1t is the act
creating a State Game Commission
and providing for the appointment of
game protectors to enforce the game
laws. The bill was introduced by
Representative Kunkel, at the instance
of the State Sportsmen's Association
and carried with it an appropriation of
$4,000 to pay the salaries and ex-
penses of the commission.
The measure was defeated on final
passage in the House through the
efforts of the rural members, who OBJ
jected to it because Of the appropria-
ton. Mr.. Kunkel had the bill recon
sidered and amended by striking out
the appropriation clause. This was
satisfactory to its opponents and the
bill passed and was messaged to the
Senate for concurrence. The Senators
inserted clause in the bill appropria.
ting $1,000 year for the expense OF
the commission. 1t went to con-
ference committee and was agreed to
and sent back to the House for con.
currence. The House rejected the
report of the committee and the bill
fell.
The records of the State Depart.
ment show that Governor Hastings
signed the bill on June IS, as it origi-
nally passed the House. The de-
feated bill was messaged to the Gov.
ernor in the closing hours of the ses.
sion properly signed by the presiding
officers and clerks of both houses.
The Governor has not yet appointed
the commission and it is likely he will
decline to make the appointment
under the circumstances.

A Large Waist

is not generally considered necessary ad
junct to the grace, beauty or symmetry OF
the womanly form. Within the body, how,
ever, is great waste made necessary accord
ing to the condition of things gs-continually
in process and requiring the perfect action Of
all bodily functions to absorb or dispel the
refuse. When there is irregularty or mac,
tion, ladies who value a clean, pure, healthy
body will take DR.. Perce's Favorite Pre-.
scription-the only remedy for woman which
being once used is always in favor.
To those about to become mothers, it is
priceless boon, for it lessons the pains and
perils of childbirth, shortens labor, promotes
an abundant secretion of nourishment for the
child and shortens the period of confinement.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure biliousness, con-
stipation, sick headache, Indigestion, or d,s.
pepsia, and kindred diseases.

DEATH OF REvJ E. GooDHUE.

RevJ. E. Goodhue, who died at Newark, N. r., March F, will be remembered by many as very successful teacher of Newtown academy for a number of years. It was through his influence that Rev Dr .darble was called to the rectors ship of Trinity parish in 1857. After complet- ing his theological course he was called to St Paufs parish, Brookfield, while in deacon's orders. He married Esther Hawley, daughter of D. B Hawley of Hawleyville. He resigned on account of his health after being in charge of the parish for nine years, removing to Ster- ling, III. After few years he removed to Davenport, Ia., founding Trinity church, now one of the most prosp porous churches in the city. In order to be nearer his own and Mrs Goodhue's par ents, who were quite infirm, be came to western New York, living first at Newark, then at Cuba His health gave out four or five years ago, entirely incapacirating him from work. Since his recovery he has been missionary for the society of the diocese. He leaves a wife and three children.

 ble to tell an infected tree before it fruits and quite impossible to stop its ravages except by burning the tree infected. Its "bacilli" has never been discovered.

In the mean time it is well for all interested in peach culture to remember thet our Michigan friends claim to have practically exterminated peach yellows in that state and made it practicable for every land owner to grow few peaches for himself and profitable to grow them for markets and also that, J. M. Hub bard, the commissioner for Connecticut. is one of the squarest men and best friends the farmers of this state can point to. l am not an expert on peach yellows but, having known J. Nj. Hub bard for quarter of century, would trust him, his honesty and his judgement, in matter that affected my interests and the interests of this Nutmeg state every time.-CH.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

An item in THE BEE of last week at- tracted my attention because it was so plainly the honest talk of an on-looker at Connecticut's "great and general court" The very heading, 1.-The Legis- lature," betokened this. Not in an es- pecially ignorant, way for learned dailies have their sslegislative'' correspondence and a semi official publication daily laid upon the desks in the Capitol is the Leg islative Bulletin. Nevertheless,as Great Britain has a Parliament, the United States Congress and other states leg islature, so this little aggregation of re publics which we cali towns has its general assembly, so designated in it's constitution and subsequent laws. To the outsider, who but occasionally takes in the proceedings, the various acts as they appear and disappear must certain ly seem like circus, but like circus there is behind the scenes a Geal of work. l remember years ago beating my way into the greenfrOom behind the entrance curtain of a circus, and shall never forget how long it took the egreat- est bareback rider in the world" to draw full breath when, after throwing kisses to an applauding audience, she dropped off her horse and on to property box in the green room. The ordinary "mem- l Der, ,''not to speak of the spectator, rarely realizes the struggle going on above, be- low, or all around him. To such the tuberculosis question is a mystery. To the initiated it is an old disease, ,consump- tion, to which most animals, particular ly the human family, rats, mice and guinea pigs, ,are peculiarly subject and to which the bovine race is subject when confined in close stables and impure air
 The German prOfe s0r, Koch, discovered 8 "toxine" that, when injected into con sumption patients caused them to ssre- spond." In plain Engligh, the toxine aggravated the disease and caused fever and a thermometer would measure the increase of heat. The difficulty about it's use upon human patients was that it aggravated the disease sufficient ly, in most cases, to produce fata! results in brief period.
 Certain learned professors wisely ar
 gued that however undesirable it might
 be to hasten the departure of human be. ings to that bourne from which no travel.

 the advisability of getting consumption COWS off the earth. They therefore in.
 tr0duced "tuberculin'' as detection o1

 naively set up that it was of such na
 Lure that only a specialist could safely use 1t.

THE COUNTRY MAID,

Her eyes the sun-kissed violets mate,
And fearless is their gaze;
She moves with graceful careless gait
Along the country ways, ~
The roses biushing In hercheek,
That ne'er decay or fade,
Her laughter gay, her words, Bespeak
Asimple, country maid.
No flashing gems adorn her hair,
Nor clasp her lily neck,
Nor jeweled circlets, rich and rare,
Her sun-browned hands bedeck;
But pearly teeth through HIPS as red
As reddest rubies gleam;
The tresses DER her shoulders spread.
A golden mantle seem. !
Her looks are kind, and sweet the smile
That sparkles in her eyes; s
Her mind, her heart, are free from guile;
Shs1s not learned or wise. F
No worldly art, no craft has she
Acquired her charms TO aid;
And yet she stole my heart from me,
This simple country maid.

Going into decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does it
mean? It means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than.
good because it ferments and putrefies in
the stomach, developing poisonous sub-
stances which when absorbed cause vari-,
GUS disorders.
