LET THE ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY

New Milford was without electric

DEATH OF E. T. BREWER.

E. T. Brewer, an aged resident of New
Milford, died Sunday, February 20. He
has, owing to his advanced age OF more
than 80 years, been quite feeble and his
death was not wholly unexpected. Mr.
Brewer was rather eccentric in his ideas
but was strictly honest in them. He
was member of the Congregational
church fer many years and a very regu-
lar attendant of it until too feeble to do
so. He has always been very firm in
his opinions of the church and the politi-
cal situations Of the past and present and
an extremely strong advocate of tenn
perance all his life and always voted the
no license ticket but otherwise voted
with the republicans. He will be misses
very much by large circle OF friends
md acquaintance. He leaves widow
and son at the homestead he has occu-
pied for many years.

Some Quaint Answers.

Irish domestics are widely noted for
their simplicity and their quaint re-
marks. A lady, desiring to make the
moet of her choice tap of table beer, the
merits Of which her servants had dis
covered, for it disappeared rapidly,
thus addressed her Irish butler: "Daly.
what do you think would be the best
thing to do in order to ave this beer IS
much 10 possible?" "Well, ma'am,"
replied the butler, 81 don't think you
could do better than to place q barrel of
good strong ale close by the side Of il"
An Irish girl called at a house in
London in answer to an advertisement
for a general servant. "Have you a
character" asked the mistress. "In-
deed, ma'am, I'm sorry to say I've no
character. l had u beautiful wan whin
I left Ireland, but l losht it the night I

1T CURED H COOK.

Ths Result of Her Masters wres.
tlinE Match With the Telephone.
"About a week after inc telephone
always installed when it is brought
into the house-the cook was suddenly
taken i'll in the middle of the night,
and ] was requested to telephone for the
doctor. It took me fully ten minutes Of
prolonged ringing and yelling before 1
could induce the central office to put
me into communication with the doc
tor. Then I sent an agonized howl
through the telephone, begging the doc
tor to come at once.
SIN the course of the following hour
sig different persons carried Oh brief
conversations with me, but 40 n Of
them was the doctor. In the case Of
each person it took about ten minutes of
hard labor to induce him to say any
thing Ineligible, and when the intel
ligible remark arrived it was to the
effect that the speaker was Brown or
Jones or Robinson; that he was not a
Doctor, and that he would infliot per-
sonal c~hastisement on the man who had
called him out of bed if he could find
the criminal in the morning.
"At last, however. my efforts were
apparently crowned with success. A
wretch who said he was the person Of
whom I vas in search promised to call
at my house at once Accordingly one
hour and aquarter after l had first rung
the telephone l received a hurried call
from the local undertaken, who insisted
that I had telephoned to him to bring a
coffin without a moments delay. l got
rid Of him at the expense Of 8 shillings
and q glass Of wine, and l am happy to
nay that the shock Of the visit cured the
cook without the aid Of any other med
ioine. w. A. Alden in Pearson's

The wheelman himself can hardly be
held answerable for the death Of a rab.
bit which bolted into his machine as it
stood by the roadside and broke it's
neck, and there was contributory negli-
gence. as the lawyers say, on the part
Of the cat which tried to go through the
whssl Of a passing bicycle and gave the
rider a bad fall at the cost Of its own
life. Much more noteworthy than either
of these was the achievement Of a cy-
olist who while scorohing along the
road (he must have been scorohing) ran
into a oovey Of partridges and killed
one, his wheel passing over its neck.
The only way in which this curious
accident can be explained is to suppose
that the birds we're ''dusting' at a
bend in the road, and that the cyclists
approach, concealed by the hedges, re.
manned undetected till the enemy was
literally among them. -Chambers' Jour.

When Mr.. Spurgeon first began his
ministry, m anonymous critic used to
write to him constantly about his mis-
takes in grammar and pronunciation.
Mr.. Spurgeon ut first resented these

by them. "After awhile" he said in
telling the story, II Hooked for his week

Two funny telegraph stories are print
ed by the Pittsburg Dispatch OH the
authority of d former employee Of the
Western Union company.
He was receiving a dispatch from
Albany, in which the sender was not
o%vercareful in the matter of spacing his
letters. Lawton took the address as fol.
lows: "Dr. A, Wing, room car agent,
Central depot, New York"
The dispatch came back with the
marginal report that there was no such
person at the address named. The oper-
ator at Albany was called up. and ex.
plantations followed, in consequence Of
which the address was changed to
drawing room car agent, Central de-
pot"

made in the same Offices when q tele.
gram was received for flames w.

This was afterward amended to read,

DR., Stivers of New York had . large
dispensary clinic, and rarely a day
passed that n or more cases of felon
did not appear. "It won't hurt" was
always his comforting assurance to the
patient if the latter made any outcry.
"Put your finger down there" indicat-
ing the edge of the table, land keep
still!' he commanded, and patients, as
a rule, made little fuss. DR.. Stivers ace
had a felon on his left forefinger. He
poulticed it Tor about a week, and
walked the floor with pain at night. At
last he went to his assistant surgeon,
who said gravely, "That ought to have
been lanced BEFORE"
"Possibly-but''- said DR.. Stivers,
and then, with a long breath-"per-
haps you'd better lance it now"
Certainly" said the assistant sur
geon. put your finger on the table"
DR.. Stivers complied, and with a face
as white as paper watched the knife.
"Be gentle" he cautioned. "That's An
awful sore finger!"
ut won't hurt" remarked the as
sistant surgeon, and the sharp steel de-
scended. There was a howl Of agony
from DR.. ~,Stivers, and with his finger
in his other hand he danced about the
room crying, ooh, oh, oh! p
"Why," remarked the assistant sur
geon, II have heard you tell patients
hundreds of times that it didn't hurt to
lance a felon."
"No doubt, no doubt you have"
groaned DR.. Stivers, ''but that depends
on which end of the knife a man is at"

The infantry suffered terribly. It was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way bettor-
ed. Nearly every horse was killed or
wounded. A deep ditch, cut across the
road, hindered effective action, and the
only position where reply to the enemy's
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta-
Gle. Despite the losses Of his command,
Jackson managed to lift one gun across
by hand. but his men became democrat
lied. They left their posts.
The example of their lieutenant,
walking up and down on the shot swept
road and exciaiming calmly: "There ia
nj danger, see? l am not hit, failed to
inspire them with confidence. Many
had already fallen. The infantry, with
the exception of a small escort, which
held its ground with difficulty, had dis.
appeared, and General Worth, observ-
ing Jaokson's perilous situation, sent
him orders to retire. He replied it was
more dangerous to Withdraw than to
stand fast, and if they would give him
80 veterans he would rather attempt
the capture Of the breastwork. Hen

dropping in at the Office dispatched the
lad for some cigars, giving him . 81

with four cigars. The caller commended
him for purchasing such good ones, and
passed them AROUND. Shortly after the
broker was left alone in the Office.
