by Carleton. The boom of cannon an- nounces the immediate sailing of the ship. No one suspects the fatal illness of Hamilton, and they depart, leaving the old man to his fate Upon these facts the story of the play is laid The succeeding acts show the Polar Star'' well up in the Arctic seas, the crushing of the ice leaving the ship to almost certain destruction; the ship in winter quarters, the firing of the vessel by Brandon and the mutineers, and finally the few survivors adrift and alone upon the icebergs. Finally the ice breaks up and all hope is lost. A prayer is offered up and preparations are made for the certain death. Suddenly from afar whistle is heard. It is the relief boat. It steams along, and in the nick of time all are rescued. This scene is most elaborate and impressive, and is confidently expected to create genuine sensation.

A LOCAL TRADING STAMP CO.
Ansonia Merchants Get Together and
 Discuss the Question.

Ansonia Merchants Get Together and Discuss the Question.
 Ansonia, Nov. 23.-The merchants of Ansonia held a meeting, Monday eve- ming, to consider the advisability of forming an association similar to the one organized in Derby, for the hand ling of trading stamps. The matter was discussed in all it's phases, but no conclusions were reached. 1t looks as though, if the merchants do not form an association of their own, many will unite with the merchants of Derby.
 Nothing has been heard from the la- test Bridgeport company, since the Der by merchants decided to form an or ganization of their own, and it seems to be the general opinion that this latest company which was to open a store in Derby, and which several of the An- sonia merchants expected to join, has given up the idea, because of the for nation of the local organization.
 Some of the Ansonia merchants will not join any trading stamp organiza- ton at present, believing that they will in the long run succeed better without it. What the result will be is hard to guess. Many people seem very anxious to secure stamps and will trade only at such stores as use them, but there are others who will not trade at such store if they can secure what they wish elsewhere, and the question is which are in the majority.

CONNECTICUT IN THE WAR.
This State Furnished 25 Per Cent. More Than It's Quota

Ex-Congressman w. F. Simonds, judge advocate or the staff of Depart ment Commander G. D. Bates of the Grand Army in this state, made a speech of great interest and importance at Robert o. Tyler post hall, Hartford, recently, after the inspection of the post. It was new line of thought and inquiry which he pursued, reviewing the statistics concerning the men in the army and navy of the Union during the war. In part, MT. Simonds said:
 T am mindful of the remark which a man made upon one occasion to the effect that there are lies, damned lies and statistics,' but nevertheless I am going to indulge in a few figures. am first going to inquire how many men actually served in the Union army and navy during the Civil war and how many are probably alive now. .
 'The whole number of enlistments in the army and navy during the Civil war was 2S65, ,02S, but each enlistment does not represent single man. Tn a great number of eases the same man enlisted twice, three times and even four times. It is impossible to ascertain accurately the number and extent of these plural enlistments, but there is a means by which it can be ascertained approximately. The quota of Con- necticut, in the Civil war, was 44797 enlistments, but she furnished 55,764, which was 25 per cent. more than her quota, in which respect she stands unapproached by any other state, as, in the same regard, she was not ap- | i,, tt,n of the Revolution. Of these 55S64 enlist ments, 43, 199 were in regimental organi- zations and fit for the examination to which they subjected them. Our adJu- tant general issued a few years ago, a very complete catalogue of the volun- teer forces of Connecticut. Among other things he sought to ascertain and state briefly, the whole record Of each man, including his plural enlist ments, whenever he could ascertain them There is no separate table of these plural enlistments in this cata- logue, but with some assistance I have examined the record of each of these 43, 199 enlistments, and l find that out of 431999 enlistments, 5,S0S were plural | enlistments, the plural enlistments be- l ing 13 4-10 per cent of the whole.
 Now let us apply the Connecticut index to the whole. The whole number of enlistments was 2,S65,02S. By the i Connecticut index, the number of men who made these enlistments was 2,481,- IA. Of these, 359,52S were disposed of by sooth and ,o0o by assertion before the close of the war leaving 2,o21 ,5Se surviving at the end. Now taking thirtv-one and half years (the mid dle point of the military age) as the average age of the war and reck- oning from April IS, 1863, the middle point of the war, then according to the American tables used by life insurers | the number of living survivors Apri | 15, 1890, was 1,15S,666.
 And by the same table the last sur l vivor will die in 1926"

ESSAYS ON TOBACCO.
Secretary of Agriculture To Offer
 Money Prizes

Secretary of Agriculture To Offer
 Money Prizes.
 The secretary of agriculture purposes issuing a series of farmers bulletins on tobacco, and has sent out a circular soliciting contributions from experts on the methods of cultivation, on the export tobaccos of Kentucky and Ten nessee and on the marketing of tobacco. He promises to reward those whose contributions are accepted at the rate of $15 per 1000 words, but suggests that no one essay should contain more than 10000 words. The papers are to be submitted to the secretary not later than March 31, 1898.
 The circular issued gives the follow ing directions for proceeding with the work:
 1. Methods of Cultivation-This should treat of practical work as done in the different districts, as follows: Selecting the seed, the seedbed and how prepared in the different tobacco dis tricts; the time and manner of sowing the seed; the time and manner of set llHS out tle pldHlss lIlc CulliNdlioli, 1Ci = tilization, topping and cutting; protec- tion from insects and diseases.
 2 Expert tobacco of Kentucky and Tennessee-This should treat particu- larly of the types and characteristics of tobaccos adapted to each of the diff ferent foreign markets; the methods of curing, sorting, fermenting and pack ing, with recommendation for such changes in these methods as will insure an increased price for the products. ' 8. The Marketing of Tobacco-This should be treated from the commercial side; (a) cigar leaf; (b) manufacturing smoking, plug, cigarettes; Co export. This should include particularly the grading and packing of the different types with suggestions as to improve ments in existing methods.
 The price offered is third more than is usually paid by the department, and it is hoped that the increased rate will stimulate practical men to take up the work.

PENNSYLVANIAV VS. CORNELL TO-
 DAY.

The Orange Elizabeth Tie of Three
 Years to be Decided at Orange-How
 the Teams Will Line Up.
 To-day marks the close of the foot ball season of 1897, a season that has abounded in many surprises and many well-fought contests. Most of the big elevens have played their last games and gone out of training, and the out come of to-day's matches will have lit- tie bearing on the standing of the vari- ous teams. Pennsylvania and Cornell will play their annual game at Franklin Field, Philadelphia; the Orange and Elizabeth Athletic clubs will endeavor to settle the question of supremacy that three tie games has left in doubt at Orange Oval; Wesleyan and Brown will line up at Providence, and Lafayette and Lehigh will play at South Bethle- hem.
 The Pennsylvania-Co Cornell game is the most important to the general football world. Pennsylvania shares with Yale the right to first place for the year, and the outcome should help furnish an op- portunity for determining what place Cornell holds.

BOWEN BRINGS SUIT.

Against A. s. Quint and County Sher-
 iffs-Plaintiff Claims $5,O0O for Defa-
 nation Of Character
 Meriden, Nov. 24.-Lieutenant of Po- lice c. B. Bowen has brought suit against A. s. Quint of this city, Sher- if Spiegel and his deputy, Lewis Koon of New Haven, for $5,OOo, on the ground that his arrest was illegal.
 Constable Downs went to New Ha- ven this afternoon to attach the sher- ifs bodies.
 Lieutenant Bowen, through his at- torney Frank s. Fay, makes the charges on the writ as follows:
 That his arrest was irregular and H. legal as it stated that the writ is re- turnable to the superior court on the fourth Tuesday in September. There is no such return day; Sheriff Koon also failed to make his return 70 the court and on this failure the arrest of the plaintiff is an assault.
 Lieutenant Bowen was arrested on September on civil writ and Mayor Coe went his bonds for $5.00O.

Use a soft TooIh Brush

Many people do not know that soft tooth brush is far better than a harsh one. Don't get harsh brush and then grind and scratch the beautiful enamel of your teeth with gritty den- tifirice. Always buy soft brush and use Pearlo-dento, the ideal tooth paste. You will find that Pearlo-dento clean ses the mouth thoroughly and polish es the enamel without grinding it. Be- sides this, the medicinal properties of Pearlo-dento will have a beneficial ef- feet on teeth and gums.
 Pearlo-dento does more than clean the teeth. It stimulates tne gums, ar rests the decomposition of food in the mouth and neutralizes the acids that encourage decay. It is delicious in flavor and possesses merit.
