FIRE IN EATON SCHOOL.

 A Slight Blaze Just Before School Time
 Yesterday Morning-Damage About
 $150
 A blaze which but for it's early dis covery might have resulted in disas- trous fire occurred shortly after eight o'clock yesterday morning in Eaton school. E. F. Jones, the janitor, and his assistant Michael Rourke, had just finished their morning work in the building previous to the arrival of pu- pills, when Rourke, in passing through the cellar, noticed a light in the store room. He, with MT. Jones, began to investigate and found the fire in room No. 1. An alarm was at once turned in and by the time the firemen arrived the window castings and the inside of the wall on the hall side of the room were in flames. The blaze was soon extin- guished and it was found that a large hole had been burned through the floor in room 1. Just beneath this hole is the smoke pipe, from which it is thought the fire originated.
 Soon after the first blaze had been put out flames were found issuing from under the teachers platform and from around the register pipe at the oppo- site side of the room. These flames were extinguished with pails of water The damage will not exceed $150 Af- ternoon sessions were held in all the rooms except No. l.
 One of the teachers who was in the | building at the time became so excited 1 that she tainted away.

 Morning Herbert Van Name, a
 Bookkeeper, Badly Burned Damage
 Slight
 The officers and employees of the Yale National bank were startled at 9;30 yesterday morning by a loud ex- plosion, immediately after which flames sprang from the vault at the east end of the room. The gas had been left burning in the vault during the pre- ceding night and the vault being air. tight all the oxygen in the room was consumed and the light went out, al- lowing the gas to escape. Herbert Van Name, one of the bookkeepers, had just entered the vault, being the first one to enter it yesterday morning and had struck a match to light the gas, when the explosion occurred. MT. Van Name was badly burned about the face and much of his hair was singed off Sev- eral of the employees rushed to his as- sistance, while others began to pull the valuable books and papers out of the flames. The blaze was soon extin- guished with pails of water MT. Van Name was taken across the street to Hewitt & Co.'S drug store. and his in- juries were attended to. He was taken to his home, Fl Clinton avenue. His injuries are not serious

PRACTTCAL CHARITY.
Suffering Willimantic Child Brought to
 the Backus HnSnital

Suffering Willinantic Child Brought to
 the Backus Hospital
 A local clergyman ran across a pe- culiarly sad case of destitution while making Thanksgiving visitations, says the Willimantic Chronicle, mother of four children being compelled to prac- tically support them and herself. the husband. although working at a fair rate of wages, doing little or nothing for the family. One of the children, a little boy aged but four, was suffering from curvature of the spine and phy- sician who was called said that noth- ing could be done for him outside hos pital. The clergyman and the mother both applied to the selectmen to have the child sent to a hospital, and were informed that the boys father was able to, and should take care of the boy. But the father didn't, and so the clergyman took the little fellow to the Backus hospital, Norwich, on his own responsibility. The house physician says that the patient can be made much better, if not entirely cured.

THE GoUNoD SOCIETY.
Its Plans for the Ensuing season-Th


 Guarantee Fund
 The plans of the Gounod society for the coming season are now practically settled Provided the guarantee fund of twenty five hundred dollars is com pleted, which the directors expect, the first rehearsal will be held at the usual place, Harmonic hall, on Monday even- ing, December 2S, at o'clock. They will continue from then on well into Lent, when a public performance will be given. The work to be studied has not been definitely selected. A num- Der of attractive ones are being con- sidered, the main object being to select one both interesting to the chorus and attractive to the public The usual circular letter will shortly be sent to the old members, inquiring whether they plan to continue to sing. Appli- cants for membership to fill the vacan- cies which will doubtless occur should report for the trial of their voices on Monday evening, December 2S, at 7 o'clock. in Harmonic hall. If possible, they should bping letters from friends or teachers vouching for their ability to read music.
 Membership fees for the coming sea- son have been fixed at two dollars apiece, payable at the first rehearsal. All this assumes that the guarantee fund will be completed by the end of the month. An active canvass will be made.
 Those interested in the work of the society are asked to send their names. with the amount subscribed, to MT. F. B. Bunnell treasurer, First National bank, The subscriptions are made conditional upon there being deficit at the end of the season, in which case they will be assessed pro rata.

 In nearly all cases the source of women's suffering is in the womb In many cases the male physician does not understand the case and treats the patient for consumption indigestion anything but the right thing.
 It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned to, Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, and opened their heart and lives-woman to woman and received hex help.
 You ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot? Because DO man living ever treated so many cases and possesses such vast experience.
