Hood IS Sarsaparilla. - WN~

Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. 1t will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago a prominent gen

the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning

This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their

MAYOR RUSSELL TOTES.
He Dissolves the Tie in Several Instances
 and Fleets Officers

Middletown, Feb. 3.--The newly elect ed common council held it's first meet ing here tonight. The members of the council are equally divided in their allegiance to both parties, eight demo- crats and eight republicans constitut- ing the full board. The result was that Mayor Samuel Russell. which is the first democratic chief executive which the city has had for years, was called decisive ballot for city officials who hold their charges by appointment.
 Mayor Russell elected Street Com- missioner A. B. Miller, City Attorney D. Ward Northrop, Fire Warden John Kirby, and T. w. OBrien sealer of weights and measures.
 The common council voted to appro- priate $150 with which to purchase 8 set oe colors for the new steamboat of the Hartford and New York Navigation company, which is named after this city
 Petitions were received from four diff ferent sources asking for the appoint ment ot fire chies. The petition of hose companies 1 and 2 asked to have George Pitt chosen chief, John Corey first lieutenant and John O'Brien sec ond assistant. The candidates of the hook and ladder company and the hose compny, No. 3, were Nathaniel Smith, George Pitt and John OBrien. All the petitions were referred to the commit tee on fire department for considera- tion. It is probable that a meeting of all members of the department and of the different commissions connected with the department will be called at an early date to elect chief and assist ants by popular vote.
 It was noticeable that none of the pe- titions asked for the re-appointment of the present chief, Wiley, who has held the office for ten years.

ANTI-TOxINE SUCCEEDS.
Inmate of Connecticut School for Boys Saved-Only q Few Light Cases of Scarlet Fever in the Institute,

Meriden, Feb. 3.-James Kelleher, an inmate of the Connecticut School for Boys, and whose home is in Branford. has the distinction of being the first in this city to be curel of diphtheria through the agency of anti-toxine. The remedy was administered by Dr. c. H. S. Davis and the physician feels, nat urally, elated over the success of the remedy. He now says he has no fear of the disease.
 The boy had an unusually severe at tack of diphtheria and to all appear ances had but few hours to live. Dr. Davis determined to test the virtues of anti-toxine. This morning the boy was in a most encouraging condition, the remedy having secured complete con- trol of the disease. The boy was a member of Cottage c, of which MT. Parish is the supervisor. All of those connected with the institution are high ly pleased with the result attained by Dr. Davis.
 Health Officer Wilson visited the school Sunday at the request of Super- intendent Thatcher to examine the san itary condition of the institution. At present there are few cases of scarlet fever, but not one is thought to be se- rious. There have been rumors circu- lated that many cases have broken out. but MT. Thatcher denies the report All cases are now in the hospital and every precaution is being taken to pre- vent any more eases.
 Sunday no services were held in the chapel. as Superintendent Thatcher was with Dr. Wilson about the institu- tion. It was not because of the scare of the fever that the services were not held, as there is no fear of any spread ing of the disease.
 Health Officer Wilson informed MT. Thatcher that the sanitary condition is of the best. To account for the few eases is impossible. but it is thought it was brought in by a new inmate. as is often done in state institutions. Should any new cases develop. the school will not be quarantined, but the inmates will not be allowed on the streets

conferrinp On the Bond Bin,

New York, Feb. 3.-There were num- Der of informal conferences in bank parlors down town to-day in regard to the new government bond loan. The chief point was the prices to be bid for the bonds, and local bankers were en- deavoring to find out the average rate to be rendered by New York city cap- italists. It was said that those most enthusiastic for a popular loan a little while ago have materially lowered the prices they will pay for ths issue. Ac- cording to good authorities the bids qut in by these parties will run from 1051a to 109. It will be remembered the syndicate bid was 104% net, with a guar ante that the gold to be turned in would not be taken from the sub-treas- ury. Bullion dealers report g. brisk business in gold to-day at as premium for buying and $ for selling. At the sub-treasury there was quite a rush for the subscription blanks; in fact, the demand was larger than at any time since the former were received.

Debate On the Davis Resolution May be
 Behind Clossd Doors.

Washington, Feb. S.-When the Davis resolution on the Monroe doctrine, re- ported from the senate committee on foreign relations is reached on the cal ender or is made the unfinished busi- ness of the senate. a motion will be made to proceed with the debate behind closed doors. AS such motion only re- quires a single second it is possible for two senators to compel such action. Many senators believe this is the prop CT course with respect to this question and the statement is made with posi- tiveness that at the outset, at least, the doors will be closed to the public and the official reporters will be ex- cluded from the chamber
 A leading member of the committee on foreign relations said no harm could come from the carefully prepared es- says on this resolution, but harm might grow out of the impromptu debate that would certainly take place.
