When a little one is expected in the
family how lovingly the parents plan
together for its future welfare. They
sometimes even forecast its education
and career Does this seem too early
to anticipate while the child is yet IN
born? 1t isn't. The child's destiny has
already been partly mapped out by
nature according to the disposition and
habits of the parents. The best plan
mother can make for the future
happiness of her unborn child is TO
maintain her own cheerfulness and
health while the child's undeveloped
being is still part of hers. Her health
at this critical period is of tremendous
consequence to the little ones whole
future existence. Every prospective
mother will find direct nourishment,
comfort and sustaining strength n DR..

why. the heroine came stealthily on
the stage, and knelt, dagger in hand,
behind a clump of pink ribbons. The
hero emerged from a large bunch of
purple flowers. and as soon as she per-
ceived him she fell upon him. stabbed
him twice, and sank half-conscious
into a very handsome aigrette. This
may sound queer, but the lady in front
of me didn't remove her hat, and that's
how it looked

 He Is the eldest son of the late Rev. Joseph Brewster, who was for thirty years rector of Christ church, this city, performing the duties of that office un- til ill health compelled him to resign in 1882. He died in Brooklyn, N. Y., November 20 1895.
 Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster graduat- ed in the Yale class of 1868, with hon. ors being class orator. Among we'll known men of his class are Dean Wright of Yale college, Dr. Beckwith, Greek professor at Trinity college, and Judge Colt of the United States circuit court.
 He was tutor at Yale in 1S70-1 and re- ceived the degree of M. A. from the same institution.
 His theological training was received at the Berkeley divinity school at Mid dletoWn. He was ordained in 1872 and was successively rector of Christ church in Rye, N. Y; Christ church in Detroit, Church of the Epiphany in Washing ton, and Grace church in Baltimore. He has been rector of Grace church, Brooklyn, for several years On October 15, 1873, he married Su- san Hunt. daughter of the late Ell Whitney of this city. She died in 1885, and their son Eli Whitney Brewster, died the same year. Later he married a lady from a New Jersey family.
 A brother, William Joseph Brewster, graduated at Yale in 1881. He was or dained deacon in St. PauPs church last fall, and is now rector of St. Andrews church in Northford.
 Another brother, Banjamin, is now a rector of church in Colorado. He graduated from Yale in 1882, was the winner of the DeForest prize and one of the editors of the Yale literary mag azine.
 Another brother, James Henry, is practicing law in Detroit. He also is a graduate of Yale of the Scientific class of 1877, and of the law school, class of 1879.
 John Brewster Fitch of this city is a cousin. His grandfather, Hon. James Brewster was famous carriage man. ufacturer of this city, continuing the business for many years in the build ing now occuied by the Boston Buck- board company. He was one of the leading pioneers of the business in this country. He was at one time mayor of New Haven.
 It was in great part due to the enter prise of Hon. James Brewster that the Hartford railroad was built, and he was a noted benefactor of the New Ha- ven orphan asylum. He was a direct descendant of the seventh generation of Elder William Brewster, who came over in the Mayfiower in 1920. James Brewster died in 1866.

 Whereas, It Is not the province of this committee to anticipate the action of the national convention in the for- nation of platform and declaration of principles, but

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
STRENGTH OF CUBAN INSURGENTS. At Least 5000 Fully Armed in One Large
 District.


 Havana, via Key West, Fla, June S.-After months passed in compiling data, which is confirmed by competent, well informed impartial parties, the correspondent of The Associated Press is able to announce that in the coun- try comprised between Cape San An tonic, Pinar del Rio and the Jucaro- Moron military line of the province Of Puerton Principe, there are 5000 insur- gents we'll armed with rifles and sub- divided into small bands. The latter live during the best part of the year in the woods and mountains.
 Besides these bands there are many thousands of Cuban natives in the in- surgent camps who are either unarmed or only armed with machetes. In the Concentrated towns" there are only small numbers of men, the greater part of the inhabitants being women and children. Some dissatisfaction is felt among certain battalions of the regu- lar troops on account of the paper money question.
 While Captain General Weyler was at Placetas recently, the insurgents at tackled the town of LaQuinta during the night The insurgents were re- pulsed with slight losses on both sides.
