ASSERTING ONES RIGHTS.
The Baleful Effect Of Being Brought
Up Alone.

HIVtH tfe -NeW IUlh
Whenever a man comes to me with a
grievance and wants me to take case for
him." said an eminent lawyer, Il wait
awhile before 1 agree to act as his counsel,
and let him talk If he has a great deal to
say about asserting his rights. and that
he is bound to teach somebody lesson, 1
am very cautious how 1 proceed.
II learned very many years ago that the
people who have the most to say about
their rights and wrongs, and who fancy
themselves the most deeply injured, are
quite likely to be those who are the least
regardful Of the rights of others. / really
think there is form of mental obliquity
that makes otherwise sensible persons
blind to their shortcomings. Surely they
cannot realize their failings, or see that
they are the aggressors. in that they de-

ROENTGEN RAYS.
Eject of the Electric Light Upon the
Skin.

Skin.
From the Medical Record.
The effects of electric light upon the skin
have been studied and present some feat
ures of interest in this connection. In a
paper read before the recent meeting of
the American Elec Therapeutic Society,"
DR.. Watson stated that in a large per-
centage of persons whose naked bodies
were exposed to the rays of number
Of incandescent lights in a room free per-
spirat ton would be induced before the tenn
perature of the room reached that of the
normal body. This he attributed to the
chemic effect Of the light. That certain
eruptions are called forth by the action of
bright electric rays has been known for
some time.
Passing now to the Roentgen rays and
leaving aside the questions which have
been raised as to their probable value i'll
the cure Of disease, We find that they exert
a most pronounced effect upon healthy
human integument long exposed TO their
action.
In an Instance related by Dr. Fuchs so
much pain was experienced in the finger
joints of hand examined for a lengthy
period by the X rays that the test had to be
given up. The skin directly opposite the
cathode was colored brown; the hand be-
came swollen and gave the appearance of
a frozen member. After the lapse of a
quarter-hour bullae formed, some being of
large size. The contents were similar to
those in blisters from burning.
This frozen appearance of exposed parts
has been noted in the ear of a man eX-
amined for several hours at the University
of Minnesota in order to locate a bullet
in the head. This patient. while experience
ing no pain or disagreeable sensation at
the time. lost all the hair from the one
side Of the scalp. Numerous other in

X=Ray Sarsaparilla.

It's good name for the average sarsaparil1a===
"X=ray sarsaparilla." Because stands for the
UNKNOWN QUANTITY; and lit is just the un=
KNOWN quantity of the average sarsaparillas that
shut them out of the Worlds Fair of 1898. To be
manned "sarsaparilla" was mot enough. "What
you made OFF,? was the question. why was 1T
that these average sarsaparillas refused to submit
!, to the ray of analysis? Why did they choose
to be barred out of the Fair as "nostrums" rather
than risk the radiance of that ray the riddle of
their reputed "ren1edes?" Even the ray throws
mo light ON that subject.

Its hold public confidence is summed up i'm the
common remark ''Youl know what you are getting

alone, as above the average and marked its merit
with medal==t1e only ONE for sarsaparilla.

STREET HARDENING MONEY.


 Mayor Farnsworth Wants it Trans ferred for Current Expenses-Wfll Probably Veto Chillingworth Resolu- tion-Only $500 to Clean and Repair Streets
 The probabilities are that if the reso- lution calling for the four-inch harden ing of Humphrey, Edwards, Arch, Lloyd and Cain streets, and Edgewood, Blatchley, Derby. DixWell and Win throp avenues, which was passed at the last meeting of the aldermen, pass es the councilmen at their meeting Monday night, it will be vetoed by the mayor. The mayor has stated that he considers it his duty to veto the reso- lution if it passes the common coun- cil. He holds that four-inch harden ing is not of sufficient thickness to stand the heavy traffic which passes over most of the streets mentioned in the resolution Another reason ad- vanced by the mayor why this harden ing should not be done as provided by the resolution is that one of the old ordinances provides that a portion of the cost of such hardening shall be pdlu Dy dSSeSSIll6HlS OH the owners Ol abutting property.
 In the meantime Director Beecher of the department of public works has only about $500 with which to pay for street cleaning and repairing and un- less either the s29,000 is transferred from the sinking fund or the street hardening appropriations are transfer red the chances are that New Haven's streets will present sorry spectacle during the fire chiefs convention.

GRAIN SHIPMENTS FROM BOSTON
A Large Increase-Demand for Steam


 New York, Aug. GA Boston dispatch to the New York Evening Post says: That Boston has begun to feel the boom in the exportation of grain and is to re- ceive a proportionate share of the i'm mense volume of grain that is pouring from the west into the principal cities of the seaboard destined for Europe is shown by the fact that the exports of the present week will exceed 100000 bushels. It is remarkable that in the exports this week there has been more corn than wheat or oats, while general ly there is less. The amount to be sent to Europe next week promises to be even greater, as there are now in the elevators of this city awaiting ship ment more than 100000 bushels of wheat, oats and corn. It Is believed that the shipments from this port next week will amount to 1,000,00O bushels. Six European steamers are scheduled to leave. The regular lines can hardly handle all the grain that is offered them for shipment, and in at least two instances a stiff price was offered for good, large steamers, but owing to the demand for tonnage the offers were re- fused.

BRANFORD'S COMING RACES
IRE NEGOTIATIONS MEET ON WED-
 NESDAY, AUGUST IS.

Az EnterprIsing Society-New Haven Association to Give Races on Labor Day Fine Horses Hereabouts.
 T'he driving and trotting association of Branford is to give a meeting on Wednesday, August IS, The great en- deavors of this association to cater to the horsemen of this section should be encouraged by their responding with a large list of entries. When horse rac- ing was dead in this vicinity three years ago this association came for ward, built new track and offered op- portunities to horse owners for winning some money with their trotters. The success which attended its first efforts encouraged others, and the Foxon race track was built the following year, and the next in line was the New Haven Driving association. The races given by these associations have always been of the best, and have been thoroughly enjoyed by the public
 There is no doubt that Branford will have good entry list, as there are numbers of horses in this state whose owners are awaiting the opportunity of giving them g, race. The fair and hon. orable manner in which this association treats horsemen should be sufficient guarantee that the very best of horses will be entered and the public may rest assured of some grand racing.
 There are to be three classes, the 2:30 closs, S20o, trot or pace; 2:Ss class, $200, trot or pace, and half mile oat race for 150 bushels of oats The entrance fee in the money events is only per cent Entries close August 14, with Secretary Finch.
 NOTES.
 The chestnut gelding Bright Light by Haldane is one of the few horses own d In this vicinity that not only possess es the speed, but also the stamina or race horse His dam was well bred Morgan mare and possessing the speed of the Haldanes he also gets the stay ing qualities of the Morgan blood. Bright Light is owned by Officer w. A. Bright of the local force and has been cleverly handled by the latter in all his races. The grand race trotted by him at Elm City park last month, in which he won the 2:3s class, after Fanny Medium had won two heats, defeating a large field of horses, is convincing proof that he would take very fast mark if given into the hands of pro- fessional trainer
 Pearl Onward is gradually getting in- to form and will be heard from be- fore the close of the season. She now holds the record for pacing mares, hav- ing secured a mark of 2:091a at Colum- bus
 The New Haven Driving association will give a grand meeting on Labor day to include running, trotting and bicycle races.
 John Shillinglaw has been engaged by MT. Paddock to train and drive his stable. The first start will be made in the Orange county, N. Y, circuit

 ing.
 Worcester, Mass, Aug. 6.-Mabel Sheldon the young woman whose emp- ty canoe was found drifting in Lake Quinsigamond yesterday afternoon, is still missing, and there is some doubt now regarding her having been drown- ed.
 The police dragged for her body in the vicinity of the place where the canoe was picked up, but nothing was discovered. The search will be resum- ed to-day.
 Francis c. Carney, a conductor on the Adams square line, whose car runs by the home of Mabel Sheldon, and who knows her well, declares that he saw Miss Sheldon walking through Lincoln park with a man about two hours after the fishermen say they found the empty canoe. He says he is positive that it was she, for he knew her well and looked a second time to make sure of her identity.
 Mrs. Sheldon does not believe that her daughter has eloped.
