Railroad Mems Hearing,

The hearing on the petition of the engineers and firemen on the P. R. X N. D road to restore wages was resum- ed Monday before Judge Elmer of the Superior court at Hartford.
 The points brought out were: That some trains on the P. R X N. E. paid only 20 to 40 cents a mile. That Mir Martin, who discharges the duties of uperintendent, manager of freight de- partment, purchasing agent and pay master, receives 9 yearly salary of $5,- 900. That MT Humstone, the assistant superintendent and master mechanic, re- ceives $2, 400 year. That Receiver Sherwood had received S25, 900 in four years, that in 1892 he received l9,G00 for ten months work; Mir Sherwood's salary is fixed by the court That the fremen and engineers received from So to SIS per week.
 Mir Humstone denied that it was moro difficult to operate train on single track than on a double track road.
 Hobart W. Watson, auditor of the road, testified that the bonded indebted ness of the road is $l0, 100. 900. The gross earnings for various years were as follows: 1894, $644, 410.6O; 1895, $724.- ll427; 1896, $746,569 93; 1897, $645,- 844 79. The company's fiscal years end on June 30. The first year given began August 19, 1893.
 Forty five miles of the road is laid with light rails, which are to be remov- ed. Nav rails, new bridges and repairs at Tarriffville are estimated by Chief Engineer Ewing to cost SS3, GOO.
 Mir Martin said the saving to the road by the reduction of the pay of engineers and firemen IS only $200 month.
 Counsel agreed to file briefs by Mon day, the 18th.

A Meeting of Doctors

The Litchfield County Medical Asso- citation, now in it's one hundred and thirty-third year, held its summer quar- terly meeting at the Warner House July 18th. Nine members were present IS also Dr Avis, of Canaan, and Mir Ed ward Cobb, of Norfolk, who will receive the degree M. D. next year from Yale University.
 Drs Bulkley, Dennis and Kendall read the papers of the occasion. Dr Bulkley emphasized the importance of precise methods and directions in ad ministering to the sick, and the equal necessity of strict compliance on the part of the sick with the directions giy- en. Dr Dennis gave the methods and the results of the new treatment of lock jaw by the use of antitoxin. This is wonderful and also easy method of com batting this so much. dreaded di. sease. Dr Kendall s paper was suggest ed by the recent great boat races at Poughkeepsie. He took grounds that the Intercollegiate contests of foot ball base ball and rowing as they are practi- ced are not manly sports; that they are exhausting to the participants and en- tail severe disability which often is never recovered from.
 During the discussion of the special subiect-diphtheria-the strong footing that the new treatment has attained was illustrated by showing that the recover ies of the severest forms are quite as great as they used to be.

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
The Disorders it Causes and tho Poi-
 sons it InstilS in the Blood.

If we only knew how dangerous, in- sidious and ruthless a disease indigest- ion is we would not wait as we do be- fore endeavoring to cure it. The longer we wait, the more danger ous it is likely to become,
 So the sooner we take Shaker Digest i've Cordial the better it will be, and the better we will be.
 Indigestion is dangerous because it creates poisons in the stomach which are absorbed by the blood and by it carried to all parts of the body.
 Could anything be worse than this?
 These poisons would not be formed if the stomach could digest its food. When it can't, Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do so.
 Nothing will help the stomach so we'll as Shaker Digestive, Cordial, nothing else cure indigestion so quickly, or so positively.
 The reason is that it purifes the sto- mach and the blood, and makes your food strengthen instead of poison you.
 It is not medicine but an aid to di- gestion a pleasant cordial for weak stomachs.
 Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.
 Address for interesting book, The Shakers, 30 Reade street. New York.

luggage, we had so little trouble with it, and it was of so little expense, that we fould we could have it sent along with us from day to day, Sometimes we did not open it at all when we had had an easy day and were not much heated. The way we managed the lug gage was this: In the morning, upon leaving the hotel, we would call the attention of Boots to it. Boots is a great factor in the small hotels. He is the chief factotum with whom you come in contact So l would tell Boots to send the baggage on by the first. passenger train It was labeled with our names and the town and hotel at which we were to stop. We had nothing more to do with it after turn ing it over to Boots It would be de- livered st the hotel, where the express age was paid, and when we reached there it was charged on the hotel plll. For the three pieces we paid from oo to 60 cents, varying a little according to the distance. In town here we would pay 50 cents for each piece or baggage transported from the station to the house.
 "The roads in England are exactly as the Kentuckian described his whis- ky-they were all good, but some were better than others. In North Devon shire it was very hilly, but in middle and southern England the roaIs were better than the roads we have in Gen. tral or Prospect park. The North Dev- onshire roads were not so good, TOT there is a great deal of coaching there.

WHEELING THROUGH ENGLAND.

Facts About a. Six-Weel1s' Trip.
 Wheeling tours are bound to be more and more popular, and those who may be planning to do England in this way next year will read with particular in- terest the following talk with Dr. Jar vie of Brooklyn, printed in the New York Times. He said to the reporter:
 'The first thing we did, planning for our trip, was to join the Cyclists Touring club. We joined the club a year ago, when we planned to take this same trip, but abandoned it for the time. From the club we obtained maps and books, and with these it was possible to go from one part of England to any other part with no other in- formation, if one had common sense and a head for locality There are ex- cellent guide-posts at most of the cross roads.
 Our entire trip lasted eight weeks. We left Brooklyn July ', and reached here again September 15. Our actual wheeling trip did not begin until July 15. Before we left home we had a. very general idea of where we were going, and when we reached England laid out each day the road we would cover writing down a little itinerary of the towns through which we would pass, and that I fastened to my handle bar so that during the daytime, while we were riding, we had nothing to do but look at the country through which we were passing.
 With this we were familiar through reading. I always decide in the winter upon the tour I am to take in the summer and cover the subject very thoroughly by reading not only his tory, but romance. So that when we come to the country we know the most interesting points, have a very general Knowledge of them, and do not have the trouble to consult books for which we would have neither time nor op- portunity. Thus we make the most in both pleasure and profitrof our trip.
 An important part of our arrange ments was concerning our baggage. That I could learn nothing about be- fore I left home, but we found that it could be very easily and satisfactorily managed. We took with us three pieces of luggage, and each a small package
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-10-11

containg a few necessary articles.
 Miss Jarvie took a small square canvas trunk, in which she carried something, like an extra. dress skirt and @ couple of waists, and a portmanteau containing an extra suit That, with changes of under clothing, was all we required, with the exception of the contents of the third piece of baggage. And that was rather interesting. The need of it we had found on our previous trip. This third piece of luggage was a hat box. I was having one made when I found exactly what we wanted at one of the stores. It was a box made to contain six hats, one at the top, one at the bottom and one at each of the four sides. Cushions with springs clamped the hats down into place.
 ''There are times in touring that you wish to put aside all traces of the bicycle, and though I might wear an ordinary black suit was not satisfac- torily dressed if I wore with it a bi- cycle cap more or less travel-worn For instance, in a town like Oxford we would find it much pleasanter to wear something besides bicycle suits, and we made our arrangements so that we spent many of our Sundays in the cathedral towns We had found the inconvenience before of not having sat isfactory head coverings, and in the hat box we each of us took two hats.
 The one other thing in addition to these was a package of bicycle pants, in case of emergency-extra spokes, etc.--but we had only one accident in the whole of our British trip, and that was a slight puncture in my tire, which mended myself While in France we had four nasty punctures the first morning.. That was the fault of the tires. They were then trying to make the tires very light. The tires we used this time were made here, and were intended for touring. They are heavier and moro durable. They are not as fast as a lighter tire, but our object was not to make time, and it was better to have slower wheels than to run the risk of accident and delays.

ilhal and overwhelming look of scorn ana you are yourself again. As to the particular circumstances, which for the time being quite upset the sage of Pros pect Hill and made him regret his small command of French explosives and cuss-Words perhaps they had better be forgotten, There is once more calm on his brow and peace in his soul The miserable menial who dared to question his erudition and laughed at the value or his time has been discharged The Bibliotheque Rationale will see him no more. Moreover, a propitiatory prom ise has been offered that never again shall the sage be kept waiting over twenty minutes for book. So let the republic stand and let Faure continue to be president thereof.
