THE CUBAN SUFFERERS.

An American lady, residing in Guanta- namo, Cuba, has written a letter to the Oneida Chapter, Daughters of the Amer can Revolution, speaking of some of the misdirected charities, and stating that among the star wing people three things seem to be essential-condensed milk, quinine pills and Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.
 The request for the Scott's Emulsion was emphasized by the following state ment: "A boy to whom gave some, when actually on his last legs, had just come in looking so bright and happy that 1t has done me good. Oh! if had some money! It is terrible not to be able to able to help the suffering" This attract ed the attention of the manufacturers, who entered into correspondence with the Cuban relief committee, and found that Scott's Emulsion was being used in the cases of extreme star vation where solid food could not be properly assimilated i; whereupon they made arrangements for sending 500 bottles, to bd distributed free, In each relief ship that the committee should send forward, and 1t is now being used in Cuba with wonderful efficacy. The estimable ladies of Oneida Chap ter have been very much gratified at the prompt response with which their appeal was met. The example set will probably be used effectively upon the larger manu- lecturers of quinine pills and the con- densed milk people.

 A Hasty Judgment.

"I hate intoxicated people, !" whisper. d 8 good looking young lady to 2 com . panion on one of the Larimer avenue oars the other evening. A man had boarded the car at Atwood street. He staggered along the aisle and finally managed to get hold of a strap, to which he clung in order to steady himself.
 "You're right, answered the ons ad- dressed "the conductors ought to keep them off the cars" .,...-
 Meanwhile the man was changing his hold on the strap from one hand to the other. He looked down, with his eyes half closed, and when some of the pas sengers wanted to leave the car he seen- ed to pay no attention to them, for he did not move out of their way. At the Larimer avenue bridge the car cams- to 8 stop. The man seemed to realize that he was at his destination, for while he had not motioned to the conductor be began to go toward the door. The con ductor helped him out and after seeing him safely on the sidewalk returned to his car. Turning to 6 passenger who had been an interested spectator, he said: '.Isn't t it pity to be blindf That gentleman lives i'll the house on the cor ner, and take him home every even. ing"
 The two young ladies looked at each other in embarrassment, for the con ductor had spoken loud enough for ev. erybody ill the car to hear him. Pitts. burg Chronicle Telegraph.

Too Personal.

One of the women's patriotic socie- ties held an open meeting in Washing ton recently, and the members were called upon to respond to various senti- ments of a patriotic character. The woman who had the affair in charge notified each member of the toast she would be expected to respond to ten days or so before the meeting. To one young woman whom, as it happened, she did not know personally at all she sent the toast, "Our Fag." The young woman received it, and at once went to call on the head of the society in state of great distress. She simply could not respond to the toast, she said. She didn t know whether joke was intended, but she had been chaffed unmercifuily about it already and just simply wouldn't t go near the meeting if she were to be call ed on to speak on that subject.
 "Why, what on earth is wrong with that sentiment?" asked the head of the society.
 The pretty young woman hesitated. She blushed.
 Well" she said, ''you see, I'm go- ing to marry man named Flagg. "- Washington Post.

Story of a Ring and . Slipper.

The daughter of wealthy resident of the hill section presented young woman friend with pair of dainty slippers. and in the toe of one of them she placed valuable ring, set with an opal and two diamonds. The present went to the destination, but the slippers did not fit. and the recipient of the gift did not discover the ring. She sent the slippers back to the store, and they were placed on the shelves with the thou sands of other similar boxes.
 On Monday the foorwalker in the shoe department received severe shock when a young woman rushed into the place and rambled of a lot of talk about missing jewels. After some difficulty he managed to get the facts of her story to- gether, and then every one of the em- |ployees was ordered to begin a search for the clippers In two hours they were found, and the ring was just where 1t had been placed.

 Rev. Fl. DcBruycker, pastor of the Catholic societies in Stafford, Coventry, Willimantic and Bolton, is to be absent for the next two or three months on a visit to his former home in Belgium.
 G. c. Parkess has become sole owner of the real estate in this village formerly owned by the late Lewis Parkess, includ- ing the building occupied by J. Foskit's fish market and Duncan & Poole's shoe shop, and the stone house adjoining, hav- ing bought the interest of the other heirs in the same.
 A shocking accident occurred in An dover on Saturday afternoon. William R. Brown, young man living in that town, while at work in a saw-mill, acci- dentally hit his arm against a circular saw and was badly cut. The accident so astonished or bewildered him that before he could recover himself his arm came in contact with the swiftly revolving saw a second and third time, the latter cutting the arm clean of several inches below the elbow, and 1t dropped on :the floor at his feet. He picked up the arm, shut of the water from the mill and walked to his house. Dr. Ellsworth amputated the wounded limb just below the elbow, and the man is doing well.

Residence in the cold north devel- oped the seeds of consumption, which she inherited from her mother, and she soon old home on Cumberland island in the hope that the milder climate would bene- fit her, but the disease had progressed too far for any remedy, and she died there. Her sons, Armand and Robert, not long thereafter succumbed to the same con- plaint.
 The daughters, however, reached ma turity. The fame of their beauty, wealth and accomplishments spread to every part of southern New England, but some- how rumors of their descent from a slave got about, and though they had plenty of admirers, end guests were numerous at their home, there were no suitors for | their hands. It had been their fathers | ambition that they should go into worthy New England society, which their per sonal qualities, culture and accomplish ments eminently fitted them to adorn, but he soon discovered that prejudice against African blood was not confined to the south alone.
 When, however, it was announced whether or not by his consent 1 never Iknew-that he would bestow $100, ,000 or any respectable young man with good SO cial connections who should marry one O his daughters, suitors presented them selves in considerable numbers.
 | One of the girls was welded to Free Palmer, belonging to good family O. New London, who became dissipated squandered her property as we'll as his own, and made her life miserable. An other married a foreign count, whose name and nationality have been forgotten by New Londoners, and was equally un
 happy. A third became the wife of Fred erick w. Engel, subsequently ali almost
 helpless paralytic.
 After her death and that of Colone Stafford, which took place at Columbus
 s. o., in 1877, Engel received $121 900 as guardian of his four children and truste,
 of their estate, and not long afterwarc
 achieved notoriety through deserting hi'
 second wife on the unique plea that ''sh'
 abused him." and tried to get possession of the trust fund. In brief, an unhapp. fate befell all the Stafford girls. The Fairview mansion and estate wer sold after the death of the colonel, an' from that date up to 1893 were most 0 the time untenanted. Then the Connect
 cut Odd Fellows bought the house fo T $13, ,OOO, and endowed it with a fund o
 about $50, 900, as 8 retreat for old and in

After the Maine disaster, Captain Kent, described as the torpedo expert of the British squadron at Halifax, went to Key West, and Is now said to have made an elaborate report to the British admiralty. He is represented as having adopted Sigs- bees theory that the Maine was blown up by mine, put in position not very long before the. explosion occurred. This could have been done, in his opinion, without. the knowledge and against the wish of the Spanish officers. He also notes the fact that the thing might have been done in such a way that all traces oi how the mine was laid would disappear. This Is Sigsbee's view, entirely. It ap- pears that the idea that the mine was planted before the arrival of the Maine, and the ship purposely anchored over it, has been wholly abandoned in oficial quarters, and with it has gone Lees the. ory that the mine was exploded by wires laid from the shores of Havana harbor.

MT. John Peterson. of Patoutville I.s

MT. John Peterson, of Patoutville, La. , was very agreeably surprised not long ago. For eighteen months he had been troubled with dysentery, and had tried three of the best doctors in New Orleans, besides half dozen or more patent medicines, but received very little relief. Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and DiarrhBa Rem- edy, having been recommended to him, he gave it trial, and, to his great sur prise, three doses of that remedy effected a permanent cure. MT. Wm. McNama, 8 well-known merchant of the same place, is we'll acquainted with MT. Peterson, and attests to the truth of this state ment. This remedy is for sale by E. K. Taft, Stafford Springs, and G l..
