W.4 LLINEFORD.

A well dressed stranger with a sandy beard and apparently about forty-fve years of age, came into town Saturday morning with Northford farmer nam ed Barnes. The pair stopped in Welch's saloon on Main street for a while, the stranger seeming to have plenty of mon- ey, and paid for drinks for Barnes and others After a while he left Welch's and went down to the Adams Express office and told the agent, ]1. N Baldwin, that he had a package of government bonds to the value of $50,000 which he wished to send to the treasury depart ment at Washington, and presented a large sealed envelope purporting to con- tain the bonds and coupons. He gave the name of George D. Thompson and spoke of stopping at the hotel. He told the agent to send the package and col lect. He was given the usual receipt and departed. Later he came in again and wanted the package insured. He was told by MT. Baldwin, who had his suspicious that the man was not all right, that the charge would be $25 and would have to be paid at this end of the route. The man would not agree to this

THE MODERN SANDWICH.

Made Now in Sixty-four Varieties, anc
 New Kinds Constantly Being Added.
 A man of 50 who had chanced neve
 to hear of sandwiches from the tim
 he was a boy. when they were confined | principally to three varieties-ham tongue and corned beef-and when aside from what kind he would take l the chief question was whether ht would have mustard on it, might bt 1 surprised to learn that nowadays sand wiches are made in more varieties thar | his own years number; considerably more. In one big lunch establishment | there are made sandwiches in sixty-foui varieties. The differences between
 some of these varieties would be slight but at the same time they would be
 clear and distinct and there would reg ularly be found on sale on the counter more than twenty varieties always
 ready. The others include varieties
 more or less peculiar to some season, or sandwiches supplied to order, as many sandwiches are nowadays.
 Besides the familiar ham, tongue, corned beef, roast beef, turkey and chicken sandwiches, there are sold in these days, either already prepared or made to order a dozen varieties of what may be called fish sandwiches, these in- cudng the commonly sod sardine sandl- wiches and anchovy sandwiches and sandwiches made with little fishes called sardelles, and ealmon sandwiches, and sandwiches made with muskaiionge, sof shell crab sandwiches, lobster sand wiches, shrimp sandwiches, codfish sandwiches, and sandwiches made with fried codflsh cake between slices of bread. Of cheese sandwiches there are ten at least, including many regularly supplied and others made to order.
 There are sold nowadays sandwiches
 made of various kinds of salads, and sorders for such sandwiches are not un- usual. In a place where sandwiches in great variety are sold, if customer asked for a salad sandwich the waiter wouldn't need to ask what was wanted, he would know and he would get it for him without question, as matter of course, and the same would be true if the request were for tomato sandwich or a sandwich made with water crosses.
 Of combination sandwiches, made with more than one kind of meat, as sandwiches of ham and chicken, chicken and tongue, and so on, there are various kinds as there are also of sandwiches made of various materials combined; as, for instance, sandwiches made of mnced ham and chow chow sandwiches of chopped chicken. ham and egg, sand wiches o minced tongue and chicken, wiches of minced tongue and chicken. egg sandwiches, and so on. So tha it woudl not be very difficult to enumerate the sixty-four varieties of sandwiches now made, and new varieties are being added all the time.-New York Sun.

ASKED TO RESIGN.
Four Dental Commissioners Appointed
 by Governor Lounsbury.

Four Dental Commissioners Appointed by Governor Lounsbury. The State Dental Association has re- quested four of the state board of dental commissioners to resign from their po- sitions. The members of the latter board are appointed by the governor.
 The four commissioners, Drs. Brown, Parmalee, Ryder and Groham who have been asked to resign, were ap- pointed with Dr. Baker, a Bridgeport dentist, as a fifth commissioner. These four members were asked to resign, sooner than serve on the board with pr. Baker, who was expelled from the State Dental association for alleged unprofes- sional conduct.
 A prominent dentist of New Haven said Saturday that pr. Baker was not eligible to reappointment under the act concerning the practice of dentistry. This act stipulates that candidate to be appointed as commissioner must be a practitioner in dentistry in this state and in good standing in said profess sion.
 A strongly worded petition was sent to these four commissioners, with a request to resign sooner than serve on the board with Baker. It is confidently expected that the resignations of the dental commissioners will be in the governors hands by the end of the week.
