 man who will say, "I have stood in (

THE END IN SIGHT.
Supreme Court Moves in the
 Durrant Case.
WILL ISSUE A MANDATE
And the Hanging of Durrant Must Follow Its
 Issuance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-On motion of Assistant Attorney General Anderson the Supreme Court today decided to issue immediately @ mandate in the Durrant murder case. No representa- tive of Durrant was in court when the motion was made. The court after 8 hurried consultation on the bench an nounced through Chief Justice FulleF that the mandate should be issued forth with. Mir. Anderson thinks this will settle the matter ana hasten Dur- rants execu tion. He said he would have made the motion sooner but for the necessity of giving notice to Dur rants counsel.

 The evening of comedy and song, given under the personal direction of MT. William Vernon Somers in the

AFTER 45 YEARS,
Western Man Revisits New Have

western Man ReVisitS New Haven.
 MT. John Woods, a prosperous farm CT of Joliet, H., now about seventy years of age, but still hale and hearty, came to New Haven last Saturday to revisit the city after an absence Of forty-five years. MT Woods forty-hve years ago was employed by the Hart ford railroad at Belle dock. Since 1eav- ing here he has been in the west engag- ed In farming and has reared a. fine family. On arriving here he found that a few of the old friends that he knew were here still, and but a few One of these was MT. Edward McGow- an, the safe mover. He found the lat ter who took him to ride to see what was left of the old familiar places When he was here the big New York and New Haven steamboats of those days were the old Jersey Blue" and the old Traveller" He was astonish- ed to see the great changes at Belle dock, and the wonderful changes In railroading and was amazed at the splendid office building of the Consoli- dated road and the roads great freight yards and depots, big round houses and OsAlcl CNIueIlCeS Ol llS great system of which New Haven is the center. MT. McGowan took his old friend to see the Soldiers monument on East Rock, which the visitor pronounc- ed far ahead in beauty of Chicago's, The old Hartford railroad station at Bridge street, where he resided, he found to be no more. It was at this residence that MT. McGowan was mar ried to his first wife, and the clergy man who tied the knot was the late Rev. Matthew Hart The only other New Havener that MT. Woods recalled was Mir. Donnelly of this city, who is still with us, and who is a brother of the late Francis Donnelly The latter was for many years owner of the City hotel and other valuable property MT. Woods left for home yesterday much pleased with his visit

MUSHROOMS.

Some Points as to Edible and Inedible
 Fungi-Some of the Common and Un-
 common Varieties Described-Timing
 Mushrooms Growth-The Most
 Poisonous Toadstools.
 The usual Sunday evening lecture at che Metropolitan Museum of Art was given on March 13 by Professor Smith Ely Jelliffe of the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York The subject was, "Our Common Edible and Poison ous Mushrooms and Toadstools." In introducing his subject, Dr. Jelliffe ob- served that the newly awakened inter- est to find out what fungi are good, had come rather late in the day, for during the last few million years the fungi have been discovering that every crea- ted thing was good for some one of them to eat, and since man came upon the scene they have been finding one way after another to prey upon him. Tt is, therefore. only fair" said Dr.. Jelliffe, that We should devote our at- tention to turning the tables upon our parasitic friends, and try to discover how best we may prey upon them, without endangering either our diges- ton or our lives"
 The lecturer then proceeded to give a popular exposition of the different types of fungi. He said:
 All the fungi are beasts of prey, speaking from a vegetable standpoint. The germs of cholera, typhoid fever. consumption, diphtheria, ring worm, and the disease of fungus foot, known in India, present types of the fungi that live upon the human body. Yeast lives upon the flour and sugar in the pro- cess of bread making. Moulds live upon bread and cheese and preserves, while the higher fungi, which we call mushrooms or toadstools indiscrimi- nately, draw their life in a more harm less way from decayed animal matter, or from manure, or dead wood. There is something very wonderful in the way the mushrooms spring up over night.
 Apparently it is only necessary for some genius to repeat a mystic formu- la, like that which raised Aladdin's pal ace, and the umbrellas appear already formed. The growth is not so sudden after all, for long before anything ap- pears above ground. the fungi are being slowly formed underground. The my celium, which corresponds to the root, stem and leaves of higher plant, is

IT WILL NOT RIP.
It is Honest and This Is Saying Great
 Deal.

It is Honest and This Is Saying Great Deal.
 The most convenient form in which to use a dentifrice is paste. Bottles break and powders waste. But this is not the reason Pearlo-dento is paste. The true reason is that only in paste can you combine all the ingredients es- sential in the ideal preparation for cleansing and keeping healthy the teeth
 and the gums. And we can say with no fear of contradiction among those who know that Pearlo-dento is the only dentifrice that combines all the essen- tial substances. Moreover, every in- gredient of Pearlo-dento is the best that can be produced. You do not find it loaded with grit. You do not find it made up of the cheapest stuff that will make bulk to sell. Pearlo-dento stands alone as the only dentifrice whose aim is to satisfy the judgment of the dental
 surgeon.
 People are getting tired of the cheap mixtures. They have had their day.
 You might just as well use sand as some of them, and would be a great
 deal better off if you used nothing. We
 can think of nothing else than film fam'' to express the way many people are hoodwinked by cheap stuff for the teeth.
 Pearlo-dento contains an antiseptic, a stimulant for the gums, a smooth pol ish. and everything else needed in the care of the mouth except a soft tooth brush Don't Use a hard brush; get a soft one and then use Pearlo-dento freely. You need not be over-particu-
 lar about rinsing out your mouth after using it, for there is no harmful reac- tion.
 When we think of some of the wide | ly advertised tooth preparations flor teeth and breath" we are reminded of the man who sold a suit of clothes and gave with 1t a needle and thread to sew | up the rips. You don't want clothes I that are guaranteed to rip. Try Pear lo-dento. Ask your druggist for it.

WILL BE A TEST CASE.
Sale of Trading Stamps Forbidden Un-
 der Law

Sale of Trading Stamps Forbidden Un-
 der Law.
 Bridgeport, June 14.-The Traders Supply company of this city, in which Frank Miller and Stephen Osborn are heavily interested has found that it's operations come in conflict with for gotton law in Massachusetts, and in consequence the trading stamp idea in that state will have to be suspended until decision can be had as to the constitutionality of the law.
 The police of Lowell and Lynn have stopped the sale of trading stamps i'll those cities and the arrest of the com panys Lowell agent, who will be giv- en a hearing in the police court of that city tomorrow, which will be made a test case MT. Osborn left this city for Lowell on Saturday night, and MT. Miller. who is at Twin Lakes, may follow him. The arrest of the agent was merely nominal, he having been summoned to appear in court to-mor- row, when hearing will be granted
 Henry Reilly, who is the company's s general manager in Massachusetts, ar rived in this city last night on the evening train out or Boston MT. Rell- ly said that certain merchants who were opposed to the trading stamp idea had taken advantage of an old law that had never been enforced to stop the sale of stamps if possible. The law prohibits the making of gifts as an inducement to the sale of any arti- cle.
 The sale of the trading stamps has not been interfered with in two other Massachusetts cities, Worcester and Springfield, and the merchants in those places have given no sign of dissatis- faction with the practice. It is only in Lowell and Lynn that the police have been asked to enforce the practically obsolete law. The case will be watched with great interest here, although of course it can have no bearing on the company's affairs in this state, as no similar law exists in Connecticut
