BILE death by fire and water There is
deadlier enemy than the trair-wrecker that

thousands into the dread valley of consump-

caution they can avoid this calamity and
even remedy it after it has occurred if they
will act in time.
All cases of indigestion and every disease

nutrition are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden

all cases of consumption. 1t cures wasting

po,i's wonderland Theater.

Miss Kitty Mitchell becomes more
and more a favorite with her every
appearance at Polls Wonderland the
alter. The magnetic little woman has
shown herself one of the most cap
tivatingly charming soubrettes that
have ever appeared on this stage, and
she has full confirmed the verdict
passed upon her in New York during
the past winter Of having reached the
position of Americas leading soubrette.
She has the support of a vaudeville
combination that contains many stars
and gives a right jolly performance.
Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the
afternoon, best reserved seats, 10 cents.
Next week Miss Pauline Hall will be
here. Every theater-goer in New Ha-
ven knows this beautiful, queen of
comic opera, and all will be interested
to see how she is succeeding as a vau-
deville star Additional interest at
taches to the engagement also for the
reason that it will mark Miss Halls
first appearance in New Haven at pop
ular prices

C0MMITTEESH AT WORK
PREPARING PLANS FOR MER-
CHANTS CARNIVAL.

Meeting of General Committee to be Held
at 3 O'Clock This Acknowledged
Made as to Transportation and Enter
tainment of Visltors-C. #. Southard's
rlan-Sub- Committee to Report To-day.
Several of the sub committees APP
pointed at the meeting of the general
committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the Merchants days met yes
terday and discussed various plans to
be suggested to the general committee
at the meeting to be held this afternoon
at o'clock in room "A, Insurance build
ing.
At the meeting Of the transportation
committee yesterday it was estimated
that the number of families which
would be represented by shoppers dur
ing the Merchants days would be at
least A 900, of which number 1t was es-
timated that $4,000 would not be resi-
dents of New Haven. The committee
discussed methods Of handling this
large crowd of visitors.
The amusement committee suggests
an arrangement whereby amusement
coupons would be attached to the rail-
way tickets of the visitors, emitting the
holder to two seats in any one of the
theaters. 1t Is also proposed to attach
to the railway tickets coupons emitting
the holder to a rebate on the price of
the ticket in proportion to the amount
of purchases made from merchants who
cooperate in the carnival.
The transportation committee is ar
ranging to have the incoming railway
trains during the carnival decorated
with flags and streamers bearing the
inscription Merchants Carnival"
The comfort committee is to see that
the visitors are entertained properly,
and will suggest to the general COM
mittee meeting to-day that booths or
other suitable places be established
where visitors can check packages and
rest during the carnival. 1t is also
suggested that lunch be served to Wis
itors If a suitable place to serve it can
be secured
G. F. Southland, of F. M. Brown &
Co., member, Of the committee on ad-
vertising and publicity, has suggested
very feasible plan by which the out
of town visitors to the carnival may be
furnished transportation. His plan Is
to hire train outright to bring the
visitors to the city, then to furnish to
them tickets paid for at the regular
rates and bearing the names of all
those merchants who are members OF
the Retail Merchants association. A
rebate Of twelve cents will be allowed
to holders of these tickets for every
dollars worth of goods purchased from
the merchants whose names appear or
the card According to the plan, ar
agent will be stationed at the depot
to pay the rebates, and these will be
charged to the respective firms from
which purchases have been made as in,
dicated on the ticket. This plan meets
with favor from those to whom it has
been suggested, but has not been adopt
ed yet. 1t will be discussed at to-day $
meeting.
"a meeting OF the advertising and
publicity committee was held at the
Kenwick house, last evening, and plans
were discussed which will be reported
to the general committee this after
noon. The committee will report de-
tailed account of the money that II
deems necessary to be expended in adj
yertisirg the carnival.

FAIR OF FIVE FLAGS.
A Delightful Social Occasion at Center
Church Chapel.

Church Chapel.
One of the most enjoyable of the sea-
sons events was the Fair of Five Flags
given yesterday, afternoon and evening,
at Center church chapel under the aus
pices of the Mission circle of Center
church. Around the parlors were artis-
tically arranged booths representing
India, Japan, Turkey, Mexico and
America, ...
The Mexican BOOTH which was pref
tily trimmed with red, green and white
bunting, was presided over by Mrs.
Mrs, Hawkes..
At the Japanese booth tea was serv-
ed by Miss Nichol, Miss Street and Miss
Elizabeth Bradley, who were attired as
Japanese maidens.
The Misses Walker and Miss Her
nance were on duty selling Turkish
wares. The most delicious coffee was
also served here.
India was represented by Miss Alice
Cheney, Miss Mary Collins and Miss
Stowe, who were very attractive.
Miss Ella Smith, in Spanish costume,
added to the pleasure of the evenings
program by several selections, which
We're exceptionally well rendered.
Probably the most attractive booth
was America, which was handsomely
decorated with numerous American
flags. In charge here were Miss Cor
nelia Bradley, Miss Babcock and Miss
A. Sanford. Many palms and rubber
plants aided in the decorations. tt
A delicious supper was a part of the
festivities. The fair was a most sue
cessful one and was well patronized.
The Togglejoint club rendered several
selections, which were most pleasing
addition to the evenings entertain
ment.
