NO POULTRY EXHIBITION.

The Lyman Association Considers the
 Times Too Hard for Such Affairs.
 It is very probable that the Seymour Poultry association will not hold their annual exhibition this year, as the ma jority of the members are not in favor of 1t, and the prospects are they will wait until next year. While it is to be regretted that the exhibition will not be held, the members of the association feel that they could not do anything else, all things considered. They have in mind the presidential election which occurs in November and the dull times would injure the financial part of such an exhibition greatly.
 They also consider the very liberal way they were treated at their last ex- hibition by the business men of the town and the people In general and they feel as though these people should not be called on again this year. The name gained by the Seymour associa- tion is a good one, and the large num- Der of out-of-town people, who enter their birds, will be sorry to learn that no exhibition will be held.
 The bird fanciers in town claim that there is a far better variety of costly birds in Seymour now than ever before, and poultry raising has grown exten- sively. here within two years. The officers of the Seymour association are in communication with many other as- sociations in the state and out, and many send word that they will not hold exhibitions this year,

AN ANTI-T0XINE STATION
THE BOARD OF HEALTH WTLL ASK THE TOWN TO ESTABLISH ONE.

President Fleischner and Dr. Wright
 Enthusiastic in Their Praise of the
 Remedy-It is Needed in Poor Families
 -Physicians to be Supplied From the
 Station.
 The board of health yesterday after noon instructed Health Officer Wright to confer with Town Agent Baldwin in reference to establishing an anti-toxine station in this city for the purpose of supplying physicians with anti-toXine to be used in cases where the patient is unable to pay for it. The cost of the first injection is about $3, and the sec- ond injection, if necessary, would run the cost up to about $5.
 The board was divided in its opinion as to the proper way to establish such station. The city has the right to ex- pend money for the purpose of prevent ing the spread of a disease, but its charter does not permit the use of funds to cure diseases. Anti-toxine is curative more especially than pre- ventive; hence the action of the board.
 Should the selectmen vote to estab- fish a station, Health Officer Wright. who is also town health officer, will be appointed to distribute the medicine, and the station will probably be locat- ed at the office of the board of health Both Dr. Fleischner, president of the | board. and the health officer are of the opinion that antitoxine has not had | the trial that it should have had in this city. The ravages of diphtheria are not found among those who are able tC pay for the treatment, but the most virulent cases are found in families whc do not have the money to pay for the | treatment
 | The board instructed the clerk to in | quire of the city attorney the status o1 | the order issued to abate the alleged smoke nuisance at the round-houses ol | the Consolidated railroad.

She was strong defender of the rights of woman and following her teaching and example, a society was founded which recognized woman equally with man. Celibacy is the foundation stone of the system and by the natural result of extended Shaker communities, the Elder explained that there could be no danger from any Malthusian horror. There are thus two Orders" the natuS ral order of the world and the Shaker order of celibacy A peculiar theology separates the "belevers' from other church creeds. Spiritualism has a stronghold here and so firmly does this particular family believe in the. rights of every living thing that they are strict vegetarians. Their political thought would naturally tend to social ism, extending their conception of the community life. with notifications, to the whole people as forming the gov- ernment.
 But the practical part of the whole system is the fact that laying aside diff ferences in creed in opinion, in posi- ton, it offers to those who do not suc- ceed in the general grab-game of life a chance to work where work will tell. Many who cannot secure foothold in the struggle for existence can obtain a survival of the Attest in such a com munity. As the Elder put 1t, Shaker community is a monastery and con- vent housed together. To some people, whose inspiration or power to work for self is weak, the impetus to work for the community is strong, and for such work is steady and effective, and the results are evident It is the boast of the Shakers that they have more diff culty with their members over working through zeal for the common good than with laziness They are an interesting people and undoubtedly offer one solu- | ton for a vexed social problem.

It was pleasant purprise to the many Ansonia friends of Theodore Swift and Miss Jennie Stickney of that city to learn of their marriage a few days ago at Whitneyville, near New Haven. Miss Stickney was visiting friends at Whitneyville and, evidently by prearrangement MT. Swift went there and joined her, and together they drove out to the residence of Rev. c. F. Clark, who performed the nuptial cere- mony. Afterwards they were congrat- ulated by friends in that place. They have returned to Ansonia and for the present will reside with Mir Swift's s father, Charles Swift, of Clifton ave- nue.
 The bride is native of Woodbridge, but had made her home with the fami- ly of Eli H. Wakelee on Wakelee ave- nue, Ansonia, for some time past MT. Swift is popular clerk at the railroad offices in Ansonia.

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
The Disorders it Causes and the Poi
 sons it lnstils in the Blood.

SOHs li thStlts III bne DiOOus
 If we only knew how dangerous, in- sldious and ruthless a disease indiges- ton is, we would not wait as we do be- fore endeavoring to cure 1t.
 The longer we wait, the more danger ous 1t is likely to become.
 So the sooner we take Shaker Digest i've Cordial the better 1t will be, and the better we will be.
 Indigestion is dangerous because it creates ,poisons in the stomach which are absorbed by the blood and by it carried to all parts of the body.
 Could anything be worse than this
 These poisons would not be formed if the stomach could digest its food. When it can't, Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do so. |. Nothing will help the stomach so well as Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure indigestion so quickly, or so positively.
 The reason is that it purifies the sto- mach and the blood, and makes your food strengthen instead of poison you. It is not a medicine, but an aid to di- gestion,-a pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.
 Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.

ANNUAL DONATION DAY,

President North Has Sent Out Invita-
 tlons to the Committee-Make Ready
 to Give the Orphans a Rouser,
 The annual donation visit to the New Haven Orphan asylum occurs on Thursday, october 15. The president of the donation day association, MT, John c, North, has issued circular letters to the members of last years commit tee asking them to serve again this year.
 For obvious reasons it will be neces- sary to use unusual efforts this year if the large donations of the previous years are to be equalled and especially if they are to be increased.
 The committee will endeavor to make the donation day of 1896 one of the most successful in the history of the association.
