It was Harvard S double success last year that gave her the permanent ownership of the hand some trophy. This year new cup will be provided, and judging from form. Harvard's chances again look bright. Whitman, Ware. Forbes and Holcomb Ward will represent the Crimson" " and a stronger team could hardly be found. Yale will have Sheldon. Dodge. Hackett and Hooker, also a strong delegation, but inferior as whole to the first four From the present outlook, Driscoll of Georgetown. who won the New Eng land championship last spring, and met Whitman in the finals last fall will not be entered. Williams, however, will have Perry and Goodbody brothers, and should make the strongest showing ot the smaller colleges The Goodbody boys are nephews of the noted Engllst expert who won the ail-comers of New. hort in 1894

BULLION DEALER ASSIGNS.

New York. Sept 20 Edward + Full CT and William C. Wilson, who com pose the firm Of Fuller 6, Wilson deal CTS in bullion, at No 20 Wall street, to- day assigned to William H. Flette of No. 92 Cold street, with preference for $6,000 to James B, Colgate. The firm is the successor of Nesslage. Colgate & Co
 The failure, it was announced. was due to the recent rally in the London price of bar silver, which found the firm short of contracts for September de- livery. The firm has a balance of this month to make good it's accounts. No definite statement has yet been made by any representative of the firm. Fuller x Wilson were the successors of one of the oldest and best known bullion houses in this city The firm
 vas originally Nesslage Colgate & Co. | Some time ago it was changed to Ness | lage x Fuller. MT Nesslage died about a year ago, when the firm was reorgan-
 ized by the admission of William Clark | Wilson. The assignment created some l surprise in the street. It is thought 1 the firms liabilities will be quite small. 1 Assignee Fleet made this statement
 later in the day: The firm was com
 posed of two confidential men of two
 Wall street firms and the withdrawal
 of capital by the packers of the firm | is alone accountable for the assign ment The failure will be small one.
 As near as I can tell at this time the
 assets will about cover the liabilities"

poison instead.
 The appetite and strength, apd vital ener- gies fail, and frequently the delicate lung tissues become affected. But there is no use ill cough. syrups and "appetizers D and mere stimulating "extracts." This trail of wasting debility must be broken short off by getting at its fundamental causes in the blood, and no medicine in the world does this so scientifically and thoroughly as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 It directly reaninates tie liver and diges- tive organs and gives them power to pro- duce an abundant supply of pure, red, life giving blood which stops the wasting pro- cess and creates fresh tissue, healthy flesh and permanent strength.
 It is the invention of an educated and widely experienced physician. Dr. Pierce has been for nearly thirty years chief con- sulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, NY. His 1000 page illustrated book, The Peoples Com mon Sense Medical Adviser" will be sent free for the cost otf mailfng oniy:: 2I one cent stamps, or cloth bound for 3I stamps. It is of priceless value in any home.

THE KLoNp1KE COLD SEEKERS.
Progress Checked By Snow on tn

Progress Checked By Snow on the
 Mountains-A Bishops View.
 San Francisco, Cal, Sept 2O.-~A dis patch to the Call, dated Juneau, Sep tember 1S, says:
 "The first snow storm of the season swept over the mountains last night, which is an indication that the same thing is likely to recur at any time, or likely to continue indefinitely. Small boats which arrived here to-day from Skaguay report that the snow fell one and half feet deep on the Skaguay trail, This means that further prog ress cannot be made on, that trail by the staggering thousands, and that the establishment of winter quarters must be begun quickly, where not already under way. The slippery, sliding snow will render it almost impossible to make any progress worth attempting, to say | nothing of the drifts that pile up from the winds. The snow storm may be said to stop further progress over both the Dyea and Skaguay routes, unless such an unprecedented thing as a spell ot dry, calm weather comes Already the indications begin to bear out the statement made in these dispatches four weeks ago, that the trails to the Klondike would be marked by collapsed tents, blasted hopes, and the skeletons or the unWary and venturesome."
 The Rt. Rev. Peter T. Rowe of the Episcopal church, after an absence of two years in Alaska and along the Yukon river, has returned and is spending few days in this city. He reached the Klondil1e about the time that the gold excitement was at its height, and is of the opinion that the stories told of the mineral resources of the region are not exaggerated. When asked as to his opinion relative to the outlook for those who have gone into the country this year, the bishop said; While there is sure to be some priva- tlon and want, still I do not believe there will be many cases of actual star l vation."
 While on the Yukon the bishop paid considerable attention to the natural features of the country, and expressed the belief that while the valley of the Yukon will never be a great agricul- tural country, many varieties of vege- tables will grow well there

MT. Sabin of Pomfret Exhibits His In-
 teresting Curiosities.
 Ralph J. Sabin of Pomfret called at the Hartford Times office to exhibit some curious and interesting relics dat ing back to early years in this cen tury and to the closing years in the eighteenth. One of the relics is bank note of a ten-dollar denomination is- sued December 3, 1906, by the Farmers Exchange bank of Gloucester, R. I. A part of it's inscription reads as follows: 'The President. Directors & Company of the Farmers Ex. Bank promise to pay s. Smith or bearer on demand Ten Dollars" The note gives eloquent tes- timony concerning the business meth- ods in those primitive days. It is a promise to pay a certain party, s. Smith, or bearer. It has the number 560. It seems to demonstrate a small volume Of business compared with the business of an ordinary bank of to-day.
 Another relic is a draft of SIP fin Sixty Livres Lournois, for Interest due on money borrowed by the United States" It bears the date of February ], 17S0, and is signed by F. Hopkinson, "Treasr of Loans." It is payable "at thirty days sight to William Ham, mond. Nathaniel Appleton, commits sioner of the Continental Loan Office in the State of Massachusetts Bay, coun- | tersigns the draft, which is addressed to the Commissioner or Commission CTS of the United States, at Paris" 1 Thirdly.

A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands.
