FAKER SHARKEY
A DEAD DUCK
The Sports DenOunce the
Sailor Pugilist for
CoWardice.
Why a Battle Between Him
and Goddard Would Be
Unpopular.
Interviews Which Show the Way the
Pugilistic Wind
Blows.

When President Andy Johnson was
swinging around the circle with Secretary
William H. Seward be was asked in Phil
adel phia, "W hat about Forney2'
Why" answered johnson, should l
waste ammunition on dead ducks?"
The same pertinent remark applies to
Sharkey. Why should any one waste
ammunition on such dead duck as
Sharkey, particularly people who have
had the experience OF the fight he gave In
this city with Fitzsimmons?
The general opinion of those who have
had chance to properly judge the ex-
sailors ca abilities is that Sharkey would
have considerable difficulty in whipping
his own shadow. Some OF these opinions
are appended.
James Markland-Sharkey is a dead
knocker. He couldn't whip anything,
not even his own reflection. Sharkey in
his fight with Fitzsimmons made COW
ardly exhibition. the sailor went TO the
floor and simulated pain. Marx you, this
was done when Sharkey was going.
Fight? He is incapable of fighting and
he would either run or lie down at the
least provocation- Why, that man Shal-
key is incapable of whipping ANYBODY.
Sharkey's fight with Fitzsimmons. The
sailor went down and out, and how he
rolled about! It was great fake.
LLOYD Eaton-If Sharksv fights there
will be nobody present. That man Shar-
key Is a frost.
Billy Cleary, a permanent memb of
the San Francisco Athletic CIub-Every-
body is dead against this SharGey-God-
dard tight. Sharkey is TOO much of a
faker. L wouldn't go across the street to
see Sharkey fight. That man Sharkey
can't fight. He is faker.
Bert Wyman of San Rafael have al
ways paid So for a seat to witness pu-
gillsIlc contest in San Francisco.
wouldn't pay five cents to see Sharkey and
Goddard. l believe that man Snarkey TO
be faker He would lie down if he saw
any money in it.
John Dennis. Postal Telegraph-Sh
key is despicable scoundrel SO lar as the
ring is concerned. He couldn't fight a
feather unless Wyatt carp refereed the
contest. Sharkev is no good.
OuC Hill of j. J. O'Brlen-Goddard and
Choynski would draw three times the
crowd that Goddard and Sharkey could
draw That man SIarkey Is a faker.
Richard PfIce-I never heard one good
word ID favor of Sharkey since the FItz-
simmons fight.
Richards Evans of Monaghan oyster
dealers-If the Knicker booker people pull
this fight off they will starve like the poor
fellows in The Klondike. Sharkey can't
figh'.
James McElroy-There would be no
naval review in connection with mill
between Sharkey and Goddard. Sharkey
can fight He IS faker.
John Wilson of the Fire Department
GODDARD can lick Sharkey. Sharkey 10 a
laker.
Billy Lewis, exponent of honest sport
0haEkey Is fake fighter.
Charles Deitz of A. q. Deitz & Co., Front
street.-The police force should stop the
hght with gun. 1t is the only way of
preventing Sharkey from going down.
george Reese = Sharkey will get the
money no matter which way the battle
goes. He is an ou:-and-out faker.

and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really 1t is a very
common one at present time, and many
dyspeptics and physicians as well con-
slder the first step to take in atte m pting
to cure Indigestion is TO diet. either by
selecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to greatly diminish the QUANTITY
usually taken; N other words the starya-
ton plan Is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
The almost Gel tain failure of the starya-
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but still! the moment dys-
peps'a makes its appearance a course OF
dieting is at once ADVISED.
All this is radically wrong 1t is foolish
anu unsclentltlc 10 recomm nd dieting or
starvation to a man suffe ing from Dys-
pepsia. because Indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and every
fiber IN the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good.
wholesome, well-cookei food AMI some
thing to assist the weak stomach to digest
1t. This IS exactly the purpose for which
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are adatt d.
and this is the method by which they cure
the worst cases of Dyspepsia; in other
words. the patient eats iepty of whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspe psia Tablets
digest ii for him. In this wav the system
is nourlshed and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
One OF these ia bie.s will digest 5000 grains
of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy sold for stomach troubles. and
every trial makes one more friend for this
excellent preparation. Sold at so cents

Fairchild, his father, died when Henry
was about eight years old, and the train
ing OF the subject of our sketch, and the
other children, fell upon his mother. She
was woman OF remarkable sweetness OF
character, a trait which marked the life
OF Henry Fairchild. His education was
confined entirely to the district school AS
the loss OF the father threw the burden
on the boys. Among the schoolmasters
whose instruction he sat under were Dam
lei Burhans, son of Rev Daniel ,Burhans,
Mr. Hubbell, Daniel Leavenworth and
Mr. Higgins Of Z>ar. The Taunton
schOolhouse in those days was located
near the brook, not far from the site of
the chapel. "A boy and young man he
was hard worker, and the home farm
grew in acreage under the management
of the mother and the boys.
When about % years old he was united
In marriage to Caroline Booth. Two
daughters blessed their union, Anna Fran
ces, wife of Andrew c. Moore, and Jen-
nile E., wife OF Col j. w. Knowlton of
Bridgeport, both OF whom survive their
father. Caroline Booth Fairchild died In
1869. In 1872 he married Elizabeth Peck,
who survives him. OF his own brothers
and sisters only two are living, Dea Will
liam Fairchlld and Mrs Lucy Beers. The
other members of the family were Ben
nett FairchlId, Mrs Mary Fairchild Skid
more, Mrs Emelne Fairchld Terrill and
Miss Annie Falrchild. The latter died
when she was about Is years of age.
He passed his entire life in Newtown.
For period of 10 years he resided in the
Street, although he still kept up the work
on the farm in Taunton.
Dea Fairchild united with the Congre-
gational church in 1913, during the pas
torate OF Rev John l.. Amber, and was
the oldest member of the church. He
was elected to the offic of deacon Octo-
Der 30, 1857, having served nearly 40
years. The church of his choice was dear
to his heart, sand throughout his entire
life he was indeed "pillar'' In Zion.
Every pastor found in him a steadfast
friend and supporter. Through rain and
snow he travelled over the hills to attend
the prayer meeting, which was to him q
place OF refreshment and joy. "He loved
the gates Of Zion," and no sacrifice was
too great for him to make for It's good.
The funeral was largely attended on
Thursday afternoon from the Congrega.

GOOD WORK OF LOCAL OFFICIALS.

Peter Savage was brought before Jus
tice M. j. Bradley on Thursday morning
Of this week on the charge of obtaining
money fraudulently. The accused pre-
sented certificates of deposit on the First
National Bank of Amsterdam, N. Y, in
favor of one George Geddes, representing
a face value of 500 to Treasurer North
rop of the savings bank for collection,
representing himself to be George Geddes.
The certificates were forwarded for COL
lection, and check returned for the
amount, which was paid over to Savage.
Constable Charles B. johnson got wind
of the transaction and while looking for
his man, also telephOned to the chief of
police of Bridgeport to watch the 05 p.
N. train on the Berkshire division, We'd
nesday, describing the man well that
he was caught as he stepped off the train.
Consta BILE Johnson went to Bridgeport on
the Mt xt train and came up with his game
Thursday morning. He plead guilty and
was held in $500 bonds for appearance
before the Superior court in September,
in default of which he was lodged in
Bridgeport jail. 1t was piece OF quick
work, and reflects credit on the official
who had the matter in charge. 1t is hop
ed the accused will disgorge enough so
that there will be no loss to innocent par
ties.

GLEN ISLAND EXCURSION.

from New Milford, Brooktield, Danbury,

Newtown to Glen Island, on Saturday
August 7, by special limited train to
Bridgeport and the commodious steamer

attempt description of the attractive
features of this excursion point would
require full column, and in view of its

AN EXPERIENCE IN DETECTIVE WORK.

Newtown took hand in hunting the

week, or at least couple of her citizens
did. 1t seems couple of fellows were
passing through the Hook on Satui day
and Y. j. Corbett and J. II. Costello saw
them. The men picked up paper and
seemed to be reading with interest the
Nichols case. The detective spirit took
hold of the aforesaid gentlemen and they
followed them down to the New Eng
land station and had them secured and
brought up to the Street to be questioned
as to what they knew. Their story was
80 guileless that they were given. their
liberty again after a short examination.
