Boxers VIII Finish Training Here for
Franklin Clubs Exhibitions.
Word was received yesterday after
noon by CAP Woods, the matchmaker
of the Franklin Athletic club, that Tom
my Shartell, who will meet Martin Fla
herty at the boxing carnival at the Hy-
perion on December 7, would arrive here
to complete his training on Thursday
morning. Sammy Meyers, who is
matched to meet Jack Hannigan for
ten rounds before the club, will also
arrive here on Thursday. The rooms
and gymnasium Of the club, at the cor
ner Of State and Chapel streets, will be
placed at the disposal Of the boxers to
complete their training. The public
who desire to see the boxers will be
given an opportunity to witness the
men work before the bouts and thus
gain an insight into their style of box
ing.
The card arranged by the club is pro-
nounced by sporting authorities to be
the strongest ever presented in the state
and should prove big success. Many
orders for tickets have already been re-
ceived from out-of-town patrons of the
sport, and from present indications the
Hyperion theater should be filled to
overlooking.

IN NEW QUARTERS.

The Connecticut General Life Insur-
ance company has recently moved into
a new office In the Phoenix Mutual
building. For two or three years past
their office accommodations had been
insufficient for the steadily growing
business of the company, and the man
agement contracted with the Phoenix
Mutual company for the entire fourth
floor Of their new building. The rooms
have been arranged to meet all re-
quirements. The company has secured
a large vault, and lease for a term
Of years. The company has entered
upon it's thirty-third year of business
life. Its assets are over s3,000,000, of
which more than 60 per cent. is in first
mortgages upon real estate. Only three
or four of the life companies of the
country show such income from invest
ments as the Connecticut General Life.
It's surplus is ample for the protection
of it's olicy-holders; 1t has no claims
due and unpaid; it's financial strength
has not been questioned after the most
rigid examination Of our insurance de-
partment; it's agencies are strictly con-
fined to the healthiest portions of our
own country. 1t is doing a large and
very carefully conducted business, and
its management has the confidence of
the people of Hartford, as of the public

TO FUM1GATE SCHOOL BOOKS.

Superintendent Kendall has formu-
lated a plan to have a. fumigation ar
rangement in all the schools where the
school books, especially those which
have been used by children when con-
tagious diseases existed at their homes,
can be placed and the germs of disease
destroyed.
The plan now in vogue is to burn
the books handled by children that
may have been in quarantine with any
form of contagious disease. The fin
ance committee of the board of educa-
ton are not in favor of this plan be-
cause they say that it is a great waste
of the public money for new books to
be bought to replace those burned.
Superintendent Kendall yesterday
morning called upon DR.. Frank w.
Wright, the local health officer, and
discussed with him the plans for fumi-
eating the school books. Mr.. Wright
approved Of the plan and thinks that
considerable money can be saved to the
district if the new arrangement is
adopted

FRENCH CABINET SPLIT.
Reorganization of the Meline Ministry
Talked Of

Reorganization of the Meline Ministry
Talked Of.
Paris, Dec. loving to the defeat of
the government in the senate yesterday,
when the senator's, by vote of 1888 to
113, rejected the motion of M. Darlan,
the minister of justice, to shelve the
discussion OF the removal of a magis-
trate, which had been denounced as il
legal, M. Darlan mas requested the pre-
mier, M. Meline to inform the president,
M. Faure, that he has rendered his res
ignatlon. NJ Darlan became the French
minister Of justice on the formation Of
the Meline cabinet at the end of April,
1896, after the downfall of the Bour-
geois cabinet.
The cabinet met late this afternoon,
and the newspapers express the belief
that all the ministers will resign and
that M. Meline, the premier, will recon-
struct the ministry, eliminating from 1t
several of those who at present hold
portfolios.
The runlors of the cabinets intention
to resign were eagerly discussed In the
Hobbies of the chamber of deputies and
throughout the French capital this eve
ming. and completely put even the Drey-
fus affair temporarily in the back
ground. The feeling among the depu-
ties was against the whole cabinet re-
signing.

and specialists for the morphine and Ii
quor habits This is true enough, but
they are only in reach Of those who
have the wherewithal to obtain such re-
lief. 1t seems as If some progress
should be made in alleviating this aw-
full habit by more careful legislation
concerning the selling Of morphine and
its sister drugs, by physicians taking
up the subject and not admitting that
they are helpless to aid or check 1t.
Surely, such an evil in this time Of sue
cessful scientific and medical discover
les ought not to be allowed to increase
and endanger the coming nation.

Angel, has renewed the demand Of the
United States for an indemnity from
the Turkish government for the pillage
OF American missions at Kharput, Ma

avoidable circumstances. Minister An

THOSE WALKS ON THE GREEN.
To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
xryte1, III a H., es,,aofor of Sidewalks ool11f

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
wish the inspector Of sidewalks could
take a look on the walks on the old
green, notably the one from the pump
to the corner Of Elm and Temple
streets. He would see hosts Of men
and women walking on the grass, as
the concrete is too broken and danger
GUS to travel over. The fact is, that
our taxes all. or nearly all, go for SAL
aries, and there is nothing left for i'm
provements. Look at dirty Chapel
street to-day-a disgrace Though the
property pays a tremendous tax the
dirt and filth are allowed to lie there.
The salaries must be paid, no matter
what suffers. Soon the citizens will
move in the matter, and turn the crit
tiers down." In the meantime let us
hope some public spirited office holder
will fill the holes on the walk on the
green and save the city a big bill Of
damages. CITIZEN.

The use of the hypodermic syringe is
not the most common method for TAX

Possibly one-quarter of the entire num-

the hypodermic method, while the other
portion use the mouth. One might go
on indefinitely and describe the misery,
suffering and crime induced by this
subtle destroyer for time immemorial,

inadequately. Physicians and 1ntelli-

subject only shrug the shoulders and
say, I'VE know it's true and the results
terrible, but what are we to do? There
is no cure for it..
There is a cure! A few fortunate and
earnest men have discovered a cure.
Why could not every physician who
claims to be friend to suffering hui
manity, discover the same? Why not
devote a short space of time at medical
conventions to discuss the subject?
But then again springs up the same
truth which is so evident with our mod
ern total abstinence reformer. He de-
nounces intemperance, drunkenness and
the dreaded results thereof, telling his
hearers to give it UP or a more common
phrase, use your will-power." IT'S

preached than practiced.
