Free TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED,

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under
such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was a question whether he had not
better take dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a com bination
of medicines that not only compile etely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak
emaciated parts to natural size and vigor and
he now declares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and address NAV
have the method of this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when say free l mean absolutely
without cost, because l want every weakened
man 10 get the benefit of my experience,
am not philanthropist, nor do l, pose as
an enthusiast but there are thousands OF men
suffering the mental tortures of weakened
manhood who would be cured at onee could
they but get such a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try TO study out how can

The fire started in the office of the

ITO p. m.
AT 2 o'clock the main building of the
capitol including the senate and house
chambers and the headquarters of sew

ms.
Both bodies of the legislature We're
in session when the fire broke out, and
there was a lively scramble to get out
of the premises, all escaping without
harm.
The structure destroyed was one of
the best specimens of colonial architec-
ture to be found in the country. It
was, however, a plain brick structure,
with large porticoes on the east and
west fronts, and having a spacious ro-
tunda, surmounted by dome. If de-
stroyed it will undoubtedly be replaced
by large and costly capitol, such as
many other states now have.

Delay in Adjusting Insurance Prevents Re-
building of the Factory-Early Renewal
of Operations Expected Many Workmen
EMPLOYED by the Company.
The William s. Robinson Keg COM
pany, whose factory at the corner of
East Pearl and South Front streets,
Fair Haven, was burned December So
has not yet commenced to rebuild. Mr..
Hemingway, the general manager, was
seen yesterday and said that the COM
pany had intended to have rebuilt be-
| fore this and had expected to have be-
gun work again in about two weeks,
but protracted delays in the adjust
ment of some of the insurance policies
had made it impossible.
This delay is to be regretted, as the
| factory when in operation gives en-
ployment to twenty or twenty-five men,
who are dependent upon this employ
ment for the support Of themselves and
their families.
The concern has been one Of Fair
Ravens most prosperous industries
for the last twenty-five years, it hav-
ing been operated by various compa-
MES for that period.
The total insurance on the factory
was $4,000, of which $4,000, placed by
thirteen Lloyd insurance companies,
still remains unadjusted. OF the $4,000
insurance paid up, $1,000 was in the
Aetna company of Hartford, the policy
having been taken out through the
company's sub-agent, ex-Representa-
tive Grove j. futile of East Haven;
and the remaining $1,000 was in the
Scottish Union National, its agents be-
ing Charles Wilson & Co. of this city.
Mr.. Hemingway stated that settle
ment with the Lloyd companies was
expected before long, the New York
agents having been written to and an
early adjustment urged, especially as
owing to the delay many orders from
customers have had to be turned
away.
Or one policy of $500 issued by the
New York Central Lloyds it is proba-
BILE that a discount win be made, as
the company has suspended payment
as the following quotation from the in,
surarce paper, the Standard shows:
/ THE New York Central L,cyds has
suspended owing to numerous losses
and non-payment of assessments
How much will be realized on this
policy is not yet known.
Tho early resumption of operati lions
by the company will be a great benefit
to the people of Fair Haven, and il is
to be hoped that rebuilding will com
mCnCe very soon.
