Birthday Trolley Party.

Monday evening a birthday trolley
 party was given in honor of George
 w. Lewis of 22 Woolsey street. The
 car, which was chartered from the
 New Haven Street Railway company,
 was very deliberately decorated with
 heliotrope and yellow bunting, silk flags
 and strings of popcorn. The decora- tions were furnished by the New Haven Decorating company of Meadow street.
 The car was ably managed by Assistant
 Superintendent Colton and Conductor Piercy, who joined the party in their merriment. The music was furnished
 by Professor Miller and Professor Beecher prompted for the dancing, which took place at Lake Whitney.
 The party first proceeded to Morris Cove and from thIere to MT. Blakeslee's new place at the lake, where a fine supper was served and dancing was indulged in until 12 o'clock The party then left for New Haven, all expressing many wishes to remain longer. The committee of arrangements were Mrs. G. w. Lewis, MT, and Mrs. Charles Durant, Mrs. Herbert Clark and N. E. Farnham. Soon after leaving the corner of Church and Chapel street a grab bag was produced containing a souvenir for eacllI member of the party, which made much sport. Those who took part in the festivities of the even ing were Fire Commissioner Charles Andrews, Captain William Johnson of Ss engine house, Mir. Aleck Wallace, Mrs Baker, Mrs. Groso Osborn Thompson, conductor on the Edgewood line, Miss May Johnson, R. s. Scobie and lady, MT. and Mrs. Beecher N. B. Farnham and lady, Miss Robertia Earn ham of Brooklyn, Harvey Pond, Joseph Miller, the Misses Connor of Spring street, Miss Annie Learie Mrs. Turner, Edie Bradley, Miss Holmes of West Haven and E. E. Clark. The weather was quite unfavorable, but all was a success. Anyone giving trolley parties | should patronize MT. Blakelee's place, as it certainly beats any other one on the | New Haven Street railway route.

compound. Its remarkable control
 over diseases of the liver kidneys and
 stomach has left no doubt of the cor rectness of this great scientists belief.
 Because there is often no crisis of pain, or any absolute disability, many are apt to neglect growing thinness, beginnings of nervous weakness, and the lack of strength and high spirits that should accompany sound health. Physicians, from their daily observa- tions of such cases, all know that there is grave danger in these signs of low cred vitality.
 By the advice of their family physi- clans thousands of overworked and well-nigh discouraged men and women, in all parts of this country, are finding the inestimable value of Paine's celery compound for recruiting the strength, for restoring a healthy color and condi- ton to the skin, for freeing themselves of the telltale humors, and for Kting them out of their despondency into the sunshine of bounding health and spirits by taking Paine's celery compound for two or three solid weeks.
 Even after this short time it is easy to note the difference in increased weight, in added color and in the feel ing of vigor and in the new zest in living. Read what is said by Mrs. A. M. Kane of South Wareham, Mass. whose picture begins these columns
 q have suffered terribly from kidney troubles and nervousness for a long time. could not sleep nights, had no appetite, and I felt so weak and tired an the time it seemed as though life was not worth living. Medicines had no effect upon me until tried Paine's celery compound, and after taking two bottles felt as though I was in a new world, life seemed so different. Now I do not have that weak, all gone feeling in the morning that I used to experi- ence, and the compound has also given me good health and sound, refreshing sleep. I have recommended it to my friends, and they, too, have received wonderful benefit from it."

 New York, Jan. 22.-The stock market to-day was unsettled and weak, At the opening lower prices prevailed, owing to rumors from Washington that action on the railway pooling bill had been postponed. This led to a general de- cline of 1s to 1A per cent, New Jersey Central, Reading, Delaware and Hud- son, Canada Southern and the grangers being most prominent in the downward movement. Shortly after midday 1t was announced that the senate committee had decided to report the bill without amendment, and immediately prices shot up 4 to 1A per cent Jersey Cen tral was again feature at this time, and rose to S9%.
 In the afternoon, however, the bears were in control once more and the en- tire market was weak. Southern Rail- way, Reading, the grangers, Jersey Gen. tral, Cordage and Sugar were especially weak at this time. Southern Railway sold down to 91s, preferred to 33b, Read ing to 104, St, Paul to 551a, Rock Island to 625s, Burlington and Quincy to 71, Northwest to 951s, Jersey Central to Ss.

 Chicago Gas ranged between 72B and 73B and closed at 73S, a net gain of F per cent. for the day. The impression Is gaining ground that the leading men in the company have reached an amic- able agreement and that the present has consented to retire at an early date, The securities of the Brooklyn Railway companies listed at the stock exchange show very little change notwithstanding the strike and practical standstlll of business The bonds of the Union, Brooklyn and Kings County elevated roads are all shade better, but business in them is limited

If suddenly by some great miracle the multitude of human beings who are seriously i'll, and those who actually suffer pain, could be relieved, the good work would only be begun.
 There would still remain the great army of "the nervous"
 For every downright sick person there are hundred who go about their business weary from pain and bodily weakness the nervous, the feeble, the ailing, are met on every hand.
 These earliest small beginnings must be attended to.
 The help which that most scientific and practical of all remedies, Paine's celery compound, is able to give, comes in no small measure from the fact that by it's use men and women who are merely "run-down," weak and nervous build up their bodies, give tone to their digestive organs and feed their eX- hausted nervous system before their weakness has progressed into chronic disease.
 Nature tends to keep healthy. Give her a chance and she will throw off disease as something unnatural and disturbing. This great nerve and blood food, with which the name of it's dis coverer Prof. Edward E. Phelps, MD, IL. D., of Dartmouth college, will al- ways be associated. this most remark able remedy of the close of the 18th century, has saved countless numbers of men and women from lifelong and often from fatal diseases.
 No such preventive remedy has ever before existed.
 The long labors of Prof. Phelps in the famous Dartmouth laboratory proved to the satisfaction of the medi- cal world that the true cure for nerv- ous weakness, rheumatism and heart disease was in supplying as rapidly as possible material that the weakened parts could appropriate and build into new healthful tissues.
 On the basis of this clear reasoning Prof. Phelps prepared Paine's celery

Work of Burglars In the Railroad Station at
 Torrington.
 Torrington, Jan. 22-Burglars broke into the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad station here between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning and blew open two safes. In the larger safe they secured about $60. Nothing of value was found in the other. The burglars did not open the ticket cabinet or any of the drawers in the ticket office. The burglars first broke into the carpenter shop of T, D. Jansen, where they ob- tained chisels and other tools with which to the commit the burglary at the railroad station.
 The Consolidated road has offered a reward for the capture of the burglars who are believed to be connected with the combination that broke into the company's depot at Larchmont early yesterday morning.
