TmF letter quoted below, written March

Sheffield, Ala, Standard, leaves no room To
doubt that a successful treatment for the
cure of the liquor habit exists:
CDR. b. NJ. WooILEY, Atlanta, Ga: Your
antidote for the liquor habit will do all you
claim for il. After drinking whisky for
more than 20 years find myself entirely re-
lieved of the accursed appetite through the
use of three bottles OF your medicine. Ii is
absolutely specific for the liquor habit and
leaves no bad effects Il. Nj RAGIAND."

BOOST FOR TURKEYS.

A Cheapiy- Made Open Shed That Serves
Protection.
Turkeys will always seek high roost
and they resort to the tree-limbs in
stinctively TO escape danger from enc
mics that may reach them on the
ground. The limbs of trees, however
are not suitable roosting places, as the
turkeys are thus exposed to cold am
driving storms, frequently their feet
becoming frozen to the limbs. An oper

could get no relief. i was asked to try Pink
Pills, which did.
"My +irst box was purchased in April
1895. After having taken the pills short

that the committee Of the Mount Pleas

improved and transformed into drive
ways. BY the way, their ideas relative
to the preparation of the park in SIM
pie conformity to the requirements of
nature and without any elaborate
transformation, has met with hearty
approval from City Surveyor Charles
e. Chandler, who recently addressed
most cordial and complimentary note to
the club, in which he says he entirely
shares their views.
These old roads evidently went out of
general use very early in the present
century, If not before that. Donald
Grant Mitchell, or "Ik Marvel" as he
signed himself in his memorable con-
| tributions to the world of literature,
drew a map of Norwich as he remem-

Sachem plain, from which the subse-

was the fording place on the Shetucket
that one of Uncas' warriors enabled his
chief to capture Miantonomo by throw
ing himself against the fleeing chieftain
and impeding him as he ran. 1t was
here. too, that Uncas, authorized by the
colonial authorities, had his captive eX-
| ecuted by blow on the head from a
tomahawk. Miantonomo is very gen
orally supposed to have been buried
where he fell. and for years thereafter
both Mohegans and Narragansetts cast
stones upon his grave, until a great
pile marked his resting place. N. l..
Shipman, who died in this city in 1858,
at the ripe old age of eighty, remem-
bered having seen the pile of stones

to remind the people at large of the
early periods in the life Of the town.

HISTORIC SPOTS.

Old Roads in Norwich That Bound the
Proposed New Park-"Ike Marvel's'
Map of Norwich as it Was in 1880.
Many people who favor the idea of a
public park for the recreation and en-
joyment of old and young, and who
the vicinity now under consideration,
are familiar only with the place as
that the spot is one that savors as
much of Norwich as any place within
the borders of the time, except the i'm
mediate vicinity of Norwich Town
green, where the first settlement was
made in 1859.
To go over the park understanding
each nook and corner and knowing the
history of the neighborhood, is some
thing of a revelation. 1t may be news
to know that through 1t ran at least
two of the old time highways. The
most important of these, the 'old town
road" was the means of communication
between the settlement at Norwich
Town and 1.-The landing as the settlers
called that part of the town which to-
day is alive with the business of the
city, but in those early days was moth
ing more or less than a place where the
old-fashioned packets nigh lie while
discharging the cargoes to be carted in
land. This road, or the remains of it,
for it is now but a well defined trail
forms the western boundary of that
part of the park offered by DR.. Leonard
Woolsey Bacon, and originally extended
in southeasterly direction to a point
where Blackwell street is now. Here
it sent a branch to the '.fording place, -
on the Shetucket river, near the present
site of the Shetucket mill, and then
continued south to the Thames.
The other is the Sachem plain road
the northern boundary of the Bacon
tract, and runs at right angles to the
old town road. This was the route tc
the crossing of the Shetucket just be-
low its confluence with the Quinnebaug

Mr. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW CITIZENS
I acknowledge my gratitude to the Tam
many society for the privilege with which
it has afforded me Of speaking with the
people here assembled. 1 appreciate the
value of an organization like this, trained
and compact ready to do effective service
in any cause which the society espouses,
and l am glad to carry back to the west
the news-although it is not news to any
one who reads the papers or knows the
history of the organization--that TaInma-
ny's society is in earnest in its efforts to
give effective support, not only to the Chi
cago ticket, but to the Chicago platform
upon which the ticket stands.
The Tammany society is compelled by
its constitution TO celebrate each returning
Fourth of July, and upon that day is di-
rected by its organic law to read in the
presence of those assembled the Declara-
ton of American Independence.
l was in this hall once before. 1t was on
a Fourth of July, when l was permitted
to take part in one of those celebrations,
and am not surprised that the organization
which reads every year the constitution Of
American independence gives enthusiastic
support to the platform which declares for
financial indenendenca
