The Kimberly Avenue Drawbridge.

10 the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The history of the endeavor to have the obstruction to commerce, caused by the decayed bridge over West river, at Kimberly avenue, removed, and a draw bridge substituted therefor, has called out editorial comments in the Evening Leader and Morning News which are amusing to those who have been famil- jar with these endeavors and know what what the real "cat in the meap' is. There can be no question whatever as 10 these facts:
 West river has been declared by the representatives of the War depart ment to be part of the navigable wa ters of the United States.
 2-Kimber1y avenue bridge is, by the same authority, declared to be an ob- struction to it's navigation.
 Under the River and Harbor act passed by Congress, 1t is made the duty of the Secretary of War in such a case, to direct such changes to be made as shall make the navigation of this river reasonably free, clear and unobstructed.
 Certain corporations and parties, desir ang to avail themselves of the unequal led water and rail facilities afforded by these waters, and unable to secure else where in the harbor of New Haven reasonable room for their business, ap- piled in 1894 to the Secretary of War flor the construction of such bridge, IA long and patient hearing was had in the fall of 1894 before Col. Roberts, then U. S. Engineer, in charge of this district. and he was led to believe that if the construction of permanent drawbridge might be postponed until such political merger should take place. He therefore recommended that until the expense of permanent drawbridge should be shared by the town of New Haven, a make-shift temporary repair of the present bridge could be made, humping up the portion of the bridge over the channel eight feet.
 With great alacrity Orange applied to the legislature in 1895, nor for mer- ger, but that the town line might be changed to the middle of West river, and so under all statutes, New Haven would be compelled to pay one-half the expenses of constructing the bridge, and the whole of the expenses of the

NATURAL EAT.
Getting Fat Is Only a Question of
 Eating Proper Food.

N'NN's ID OiiJ d NutSLlOh OA
 Eating Proper Food.
 Thin people who want to get fat should eat proper food and digest it,
 That Is the only natural way.
 The trouble with most thin people is that they suffer from indigestion.
 They don't digest their food. They don't get enough nourishment. They are slowly being starved. They are poisoned by the products of fermented and putrid food
 Shaker Digestive Cordial, a gentle natural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your stomach just like the digestive juices, and turns it into healthful nourishment. It helps your stomach naturally. It makes thin dys- peptics fat. It makes poisonous blood pure. It tones up and cures the stom- ach.
 Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because mo- thing else goes so naturally about it.
 This is why it has been so successful in relieving nausea, vomiting, dizzi- ness, weakness, bad taste, fever, f1atu- lence, constipation, loss of appetite, | headache, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc., by curing the disorder which causes the symptoms.
 A few doses will prove it's value, but you won't get fat on one bottle All druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle

long approach from the New Haven side. To this New Haven protested, and the fight waged almost the entire session, ending at last in a compromise by which the act of 1895 was passed, declaring that whenever the general government should order the construc- tion of bridge with a draw the city of New Haven should pay one half the expense of such construction. So every argument urged by Col. Roberts against a proper drawbridge fell to the ground. It was clearly to the interest of Or ange to accept the compromise and by the grace of the legislature to escape it's clear obligation to pay for the entire bridge, it lying wholly within the town of Orange. The present grade, being maintained, one half of suitable drawbridge would cost less than the whole of such a non descript affair as was suggested It would draw to the town of Orange great capital and add to it's grand list an amount that would soon make the investment profitable one. Left to itself, there is no doubt that the town of Orange would have accepted and honorably carried out the legislative act. But any order In this matter was prevented by the interposition of two Connecticut politicians, and the papers in the war department bear the omin- ous suggestion that all action be de- ferred until consultation was had with whom? The Hon. James P. Pigott and the Hon. Carlos French. A little study of the situation suggests that this in terposition was not in behalf of Orange, nor yet in behalf of New Haven, but in behalf of the Winchester Avenue Rail road company, who by strange coin cidence, were represented by the attor- neys for Orange. Anything done to that bridge might cause them some in- convenience, and a drawbridge would be death to the road. It might be true that every drawbridge in the town of New Haven was crossed by an elec- tric railroad, and without complaint, but this company must be singled out for special privileges, and the undisputed right of citizens to use freely the navi- gable waters of the United States be held in subjection to the convenience of this single corporation. It has not de- stroyed the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company to be compelled to submit to a draw on Grand avenue in Fair Haven, but a draw at Kimberly avenue would injure this corporation even to it's undoing.
 There has not been an order issued for any bridge whatever, and this be- cause, until the political control of the war department changed, it was inn possible to escape the interpretation of Messrs. Pigott and French. But the skies have changed. A drawbridge at Kimberly avenue opens, with the pro- jective slips, more than 10000 feet of
 the very finest dock room in the har-
 bor. Vessels can pass up the river which cannot approach the greater part of Long wharf. All of the water front of New Haven harbor which is
 accessible to rail connection, except
 this, Is in the hands of the Consolidated
 road. It is the only door of escape for
 the commercial interests of either New
 Haven or Orange, and the drawbridge
 must come. G.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
RALEIGH. N O., Jan. II, 1897.
Seeing a cut of W. Duke in the papers
and eulogizing him for 500 600 to
Trinity College, has caused me to look
into his life and write a few words. I
believe in Justice to all men. Mr..
Duke was a poor man a few years ago.
/ He went into the tobacco business,
paid big prices for tobacco, and farm
ers went home satisfied. After Mr..
Duke became rich while paying big
prices for tobacco, he gets up a tobacco
trust, cuts off competition in order to
buy at his own price, and by getting
tobacco at his own price and selling at
his own prize and making 800 per cent.
on his money. Now, Mr.. Editor, let
US see what result or effect has Mr..
/ Dukes trust had on the farmer. I
know of many farmers who live hard,
| do not have enough to eat, or wear,
and take their tobacco to market and
do not get as much for their tobacco as
it cost them to make it. Mr.. Duke, in
order to make and give 800, 600 to a
college to help perhaps so or $50 men
who have a fairly good education, is
calculated to keep in poverty and igno-
rance thousands of boys and girls who
cannot get to learn to read and write.
It is a crying shame and humanity
should blush to think that the masses
who toll and make the wealth of this
country cannot enjoy it's blessings,
while the manufacturers like W. Duke
are rolling in luxury and spIendor.
If Mr.. Duke will spend the balance
of his days to break up tit 3ts, and
give the farmer the worth of his pro
duct, that be may feed, clothe and
educate his boys and girls, then I will
be of many to build a monument
to his memory. Other wise let him die
in shame as he deserves and let none
other be born like him.
RESPECTFULLY,
W. A. MORRIS
