Echoes From The State Convention.

Thursday night was "Demonstration night" with the White Ribboners, ,and the FiIst Congregational church was crowded with people who gathered to witness the exercises. The larger portion of the au- ditorium was reserved for the delegates of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, but all the other seats in both the auditorium and in the galleries were oc- cupied by visitors from other towns and Meriden people.
 The delegates all assembled in the chapel of the church, and at 7.3O o'clock marched into the auditorium, carrying the banners of the state, county and town unions. Professor T. B. Grannis, of New Britain, organist of the First M. E. church, played Lochner's Best March as the pro- cession entered. The delegates marched around the auditorium, waving the flags, and were greeted with the Chautauqua sa- lute by friends who were seated in the church. The procession was led by the president, Mrs. c. B. Forbes, ~and the secretary, Mrs. Mary M. Andrews, who carried the state banner. Then came the other general officers, and last the dele gates.
 A new feature was introduced in the exercises. First, the delegates repeated the state motto, and then sang the state song, at the same time waving the flag.

Georre Du Maurier.s Double.

MT. Du Maurier had a double, and his double was, as many people are aware, MT. Alma Tadema. So remark able was the resemblance that even their most intimate friends frequently mistOok them.
 A certain young lady, however, prid- ed herself that she had no difficulty in determining which was which. On one occasion, finding herself seated next to Du Maurier at dinner, she remarked:
 1T cannot understand how any one can mistake you for MT. Tadema. To me the likeness is very slight" Pres ently she added: By the way, have photograph of you. Do be so good as to put your autograph to it..
 MT. Du Maurier assenting gracious ly, the photograph was afterward pro- duced. He looked at it for moment, sighed and then very gently laid it on the table.
 ''That," he remarked, ''is MT. Alma Tadema's portrait. "-Pearson's Week.

old Stafford News Letter.
 Twenty new members were initiated in the lodge of Good Templars in this village on Monday evening.
 The John Brownfa farm, near this village, belonging to F. c. Patten, brought at the auction sale last Saturday $1 ,O5O. James Hamilton, of this village, was the pur- chaser. One year ago the same farm brought at auction $1 125.
 The heavy rains of Tuesday last raised the streams in this vicinity higher than they had been for some time before. At West Stafford a reservoir dam, which was being constructed by J. L. Fairman, was damaged to the extent of $1O0 or over.
 John Brown, the well known John Brown, who has probably bought and sold more property than any other man around, is again offering splendid chance to invest in real estate, horses, cattle, hay, etc. He has bought the well known Joseph Alden place, near Hydeville, with all it's stock, etc., and offers the same for sale in lots to suit purchasers.
 Our late fellow citizen, H. T. Small, was on Saturday evening last surprised by the gift of a cane. The presentation was made at Mr. Small's residence by a party of gentlemen, for whom Rev. MT. Ide acted as spokesman. The cane is a very neat affair, being of ebony with a solid gold head, on which is engraved the following inscription: "Our Postmaster, H. T. Smsll, From his friends, Stafford Springs, Conn.,, Oct., 1866." This is a we'll deserved recognition of his faithful ness and civility as postmaster, and his various good qualities as a neighbor and fellow citizen.
 Quite an extensive business in the man. ufacture of Shaker hoods has recently been established in this village by F. A. Harwood & Go. The leaf is taken by them just as imported, and bleached, split, woven, and made up into bonnets, all be- ing done on the premises but the weaving. They are now making about 36 dozen hoods per day, which they will soon in l CI0dS6 OO uOuU1O IIldL uuL1DSIs DClW0SL two and three hundred families in this vicinity are employed in weaving the leaf The business is in it's infancy yet, having only been started in August last, but ir time it will no doubt grow into extensive proportions.
 Page's new block is nearly completed and will be ready for occupancy in two o1 three weeks. L. H. Dennis will remove his stock of jewelry and confectionery te the west store, and Medbery & Taft vii occupy the east store, continuing theil present business as dry and fancy goods dealers. The second floor of the building is mostly fitted up for offices, etc., anC will be occupied by Dr. Smith, dentist now in Dorman's building, and by Crane & Chandler, harness makers, who will re move from over Small & Healds store The rooms vacated by MT. Dennis, anc by Crane & Chandler, will be used by Small & Heald, whose business has out grown the room in which it has been con fined.

 The license policy is responsible for the existence of the saloon, and that is not our policy, and it is wrong in principle. Judas sold our Lord for thirty pieces of silver, but it would have made 1t no bet ter had he sold him for 500 pieces of gold. | A license fee can never make a wrong right.
 License laws have not Iessened the con- sumption of liquor or materially the num- Der of saloons. In 1876 the per capita consumption of liquors was 8.61 gallons in 1895 it was 16.35, nearly doubled under license laws.
 The Raines law is the latest develop ment of the license plan. There may be some good features about it, but it has opened the bar rooms on Sunday, over 24O new clubs were incorporated in a sin gle week, and they can furnish their members with liquors on Sunday. It has increased the number of houses of prosti- tuition, as many, saloons have been changed into hotels. It was argued that the Raines law would largely reduce the number oi saloons, so that the revenue would be about nine millions, but the revenue is eleven millions, showing that many more have paid the tax than they expected, and that it has been failure so far as reduc. ing the number of saloons.

A Sad Picture.

At Varzin once, after sitting for some time sunk in profound reflection, Bis marck lamented that he had derived but small pleasure or satisfaction from his political activity, but on the other hand much vexation, anxiety and trou- ble. He had, he said, made no one happy by it-neither himself, his fam lily, nor any one else. ''But probably" he continued, many unhappy. Had it not been for me there would have been three great wars the less, the lives of 80, 900 men would not have been sac- rifced and many parents, brothers, sis ters ard widows would not now be mourners "-"Bislnarck's Table Talk" Lowe.
 Cleveland Plain De Ter: "Popular re gard for the comfort ofdumb animals has very largely increased in the past twenty years,' said a citiz9n, who is actively in terested in the work of the humane society. "You can't get a crowd tog4ther nowadays that will stand by and see a horse or dogg ggabused. It wasn't so long ago that the general sentiment favored the theory that man had a right to do what he pleased with his own. Yes, and only limited number of generations back that theory applied to the wife as well as the other flesh and blood chattels. But all of that is forever swept away. Popular sentiment is quick to step be- tween the cruel father and his child, the cruel husband and his wife, and the cruel master and hts four-footed servants.
 ''I was littS amused at an example of this changed sentiment which came to my notice at the opera house last Monday evening. One of the trained ponies ex- hibited there was disposed to be stubborn. He obeyed slowly, or he didn't obey at all. Pretty soon his master, quite out of patience with him, cracked his whip across his back. don't really suppose it hurt the animal but trifle, yet a score or more of sharp misses came from the audience, and most of them from the upper gallery. Of course it was little thing in itself, but for all that it struck me at the time that it was pleasing evil dence for the cause of general humanity J

The Only Difference Was the Price.

''In famous London auction room the other day a copy of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, the octave edition, which is commonly called the first, , was sold to an American buyer for $126. Next day bookseller whose shop is almost next door to the auction room sold a copy of the same edition for 75 cents" The person who bought the copy for 75 cents certainly got a bargain, but it is doubtful that the other purchaser will get as much for his copy as he paid for it. The incident shows what curious things happen in the trade in old books. Nor is it an iso- lated case. On the contrary, it is only one of great many like it. New York Tribune

Here is Good News for Men Suffering From Nervous Debility, Weakened
 Ro1Uars and Exhausted XigOr.

Powers and Exhausted V1gOr. Weak men suffering from nervous de- bility, weakened powers and exhausted vigor, can now take new hope. Here is something which will powerfully interest them, It is fact that until now sufferers have been debarred from seeking a cure by the great specialists in these con- plaints owing to the cost of travel to the large city and the high fees charged by these eminent physicians.
 Here, therefore, is a chance for weak men in our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene of 35 West 14th St., New York City, who has the largest practice in the world, and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing this classs of diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all weak ened, vi9orless and erve-exhausted men. You have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing your com plaint, and he will after carefully consider ing your condition, send you a letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails you. He will also give his advice, h1sed upon his vast experience and wonderful success in treating and curing such cases, as to just what to do to get cured. All this will cost you nothing, and you can thus have consultation with the best known physician and acknowledged
 most successful specialist in the world
 without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The Doctor is the discoverer of that greatest of medicines, Dr.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and he has discovered many oth- CT most valuable remedies. Write to him
 now, for this is the chance of lifetime to get cured which you may never have again.
