OBIT VA RY.
James p. Dennis.

James P. Dennis, aged twenty-nine
years, died suddenly yesterday after
noon from an acute attack of appen-
dicitis. He had not felt we'll for sew
eral days, but it was not until Sunday
that he was compelled to take to bed.
His condition within very short time
grew most alarming. DIR. Stephen J.
Maher visited the patient and after
diagnosing the case as one of Appendix
citis Immediately called in DR.. Carnalt,
of the Yale Medical school, and a con-
sultation was held. 1t is very likely
that an operation would have been per-
formed but Mr.. Dennis sunk quickly
into Inconsistencies and never recov-
cred, dying before surgical relief could
be given.
James P. Dennis was born in Middle
town. He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Dennis, who are now living in
Bridgeport. About three years ago he
came to New Haven and entered the
business Office of the Palladium, of
which paper :, Edward Dennis, a
brother, is nladaging editor He be-
came a popular worker in his line of
the newspaper business and made
many friends. He was member of st.
Aloysius T. A. B. society and an earn
est advocate of temperance societies
and work. He was of a pleasant dis
position and possessed nature that at
once impressed one with it's frankness
and honesty. He was of an inventive
turn of mind and about two years ago
patented the Trolley Puzzle" which
proved popular throughout the coun-
try. His death occurred at the resi-
dence of his brother, 469 Edgewood
avenue. Last night the remains were
taken to Bridgeport and the funeral
will be held from the parents residence,
ia Prospect street, tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock.

ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
Marcus F. Thomas, a colored Be

Marcus F. Thomas, a Colored Boy,
Charged With Stealing $22.
Marcus F. Thomas, colored boy
about eighteen years of age, was ar
rested for theft by Detective Henry j.
Donnelly, last night. Thomas is charg-
ed with theft on two counts, one of $40
last Saturday, and the other of 1925
yesterday, both sums having been
taken from c. R. Chapman, a milk
man. 1t seems that Mr.. Chapman has
a barn on Clark street and has on the
second floor of the barn a room in
which he sleeps. DIR. C. S. Whitney
stables his horses in Mr.. Chapman's
barn and the colored by, Thomas,
works for the doctor, taking care of
his horses. Mr.. Chapman usually
keeps the door of his room locked, but
last Saturday he neglected to lock the
door when he went out and on his re-
turn found that about $1s in silver was
gone from a box in which he had plac-
ed it on the top of his bureau; $1.50 in
change being left in the box. Mr..
Chapman at once reported the loss to
the police and Detective Donnelly was
put on the case. He suspected young
Thomas, but had not arrested him yet
Last evening Mr.. Chapman reported
the second theft. The detective then
went 10 the barn and arrested the col
ored by, who being closely questioned
confessed to both thefts.

also was troubled with kidney disease. Her
blood was so thin that the drop or two drawn
by the prick of needle was almost as color
less as water. She had trouble with her
heart and often tainted from the slightest
exertion, as upon rising from bed, or from a
chair.
"Another bad symptom was cough,
which was so unremitting that it was the
general opinion of our friends that she was
consumptive. She lost flesh rapidly. Some
times she would be confined to the bed for
two or three weeks, then be around again,
but only to suffer relapse.
" She was not only physical wreck, bnt
her mind was affected, and at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. We
feared, in fact, complete mental overthrow
and consequent removal to an asylum, for
although we had two of the best physicians
in the city, and had tried several proprietary
medicines, none benefited her.
1--WE had read considerable about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
had also heard of some cases where they had
done good and we decided to give them q
trial, We purchased some at the drug store
of White & Burdick, of this city.
Hattie began to take the pills in the
early part of January of this year. I'M
provement was noticeable after the first box
had been taken. The first hopeful sign that
/ noticed was that she did not complain Of
headache. The attacks of dizziness also be-
gan to abate in frequency, and she ceased to
cough. One after another, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took in ALL nine
boxes of the pills, AT the present time she
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost past belief:
al cannot say enough in praise Of d.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, they saved the life of our
daughter We have recommended the pills
to a number of friends, and if there is any
one else who would like the benefit of our
experience with this remedy, we will gladly
answer any inquiries"

New York, May est was announce
ed to-day at the New York office of
the Pande Basin Gold Placer company,
20 Broad street. that General Wiley,
ex-surveyor general of California, and
a mining expert of the highest reputa-
ton, has been engaged as engineer and
superintendent of the company's reduc-
ton plant. He will superintend driv-
ing a tunnel to drain the lake and
bring the aueriferious gravel directly
into the works. These, it is purposed,
shall be large and scientifically perfect.
The incorporators have purchased the
property and proved its enormous
value at their own expense. A
limited amount of stock is being sold
to erect the plant. Hon. B. P. Moore,
ex-United States collector for Alaska,
is now actively supervising operations
at the Basin. In view of the enor-
nous fortunes realized from the LIE Roi,
Granite Mountain and Comstock mines,
the possibilities in store for partici-
pants in the yield of Pande Basin are
dazzling.

(Signed) HENRY HOUSEHOLDER.
The blood is the vital element in our lives
consequently it must be kept pure, rich and
red in order to have perfect health. The cause
of Mr.. Householder's sickness was impure
and impoverished blood. He had skilled
medical treatment and used many remedies,
but derived no benefit until he commenced
to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and these cured him.
This proves that this remedy is the best
means of imparting those elements that
purify, vita1ize and enrich the blood, thy Y
aiding bodily functions and arousing eve a
organ into healthful action and in this way
restoring the entire system.
That is the reason why DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People cure SO many
diseases why doctors prescribe them, why
druggists recommend them and why they are
SO universally used.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
contain in condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and richness
| to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such dis
eases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
st. Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after effect Of Ia

THE MAYOR SIGNS AT LAST.

Elk superintendent of Fire Alarm Tel
egraph Smith Finally Receives His
Pension.
Former Superintendent of Fire Alarm
Telegraph William c. Smith will now
receive the pension which has been
withheld from him for eleven months
by Mayor Farnsworth, as the mayor
has at last signed the pension checks.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Smith
was superintendent of fire alarm tele-
graph until about two years ago, when
he was taken ill with a complication of
diseases. In May last he was retired
by the board of fire commissioners.
The trustees of the pension fund then
awarded him a pension under the pro-
vision of the old charter which permit
ted a fireman to be pensioned after
twenty years Of continuous duty. The
check for the first months pension,
$62.50-that is, half pay-was given to
Mi Smith last June. On July follow
ing it was found that the new charter
was in effect when the pension was
of the new charter the mayor was trus-
tee of the pension fund and must sign
checks on the fund in order to make
them payable, and also that the physi-
cal examination of the applicant for a
pension must be made by more than
one physician.
The fire commissioners then held an
other meeting and retired Mr.. Smith
and had him examined by board of
physicians, who reported that they had
found that Mr.. Smith was incapacitat-
ed for duty on account of injuries re-
ceived while in the discharge of his
duty. This action of the board did not,
however, please Mayor Farnsworth and
he refused to sign Mr.. Smiths pension
check.

Story of Her Rescue.


From the Clipper, Burlington, W.
A reporter called upon Miss Lillian War

terview.
The young lady is a musician and o pianist
of considerable renown, and has her time
tnlly occupied by engagements to play at
concerts and other entertainments that are
constantly taking place in the city, and the
strain upon the strength and nervous energy
OF the pianist can be easily imagined.
