The Annual M eeting of the Gas Ligh
 Company To-day Consolidated Rail- of New Haven Banks.

l N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. stock on a small demand has risen in price from 209 to 213, and the nominal quotation of the convertible fours from 1S3 to 186.
 The notice of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the New Haven Gas Light Company to-day has excited much more interest than any other notice of the annual meeting of that corporation for many years; the general impression among the stock holders is that the meeting will au- thorize the directors to increase the capital as may be deemed desirable in the near future, and that the new di- rectors elected at that meeting will soon convene and double the capital ization.
 The January investors will find only small lots of local securities for sale; probably the bulk of the dividend money will find it's way into the New York and Boston markets, where many industrial properties are now selling below their merits as business propo- sitions.
 The Bankers Loan & Investment Co.,, which formerly had a local office here, has declared divided of one per cent. on class A, series 1, and a dividend of three per cent on class A, series ?. The company is now economically managed, and with the growth of bus mess will slowly work out of the re- verses of the panic of 1893.

Barnes. Thoughts.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift Of love and tenderness allowed we meet With love In many aspects when we lift First to our lips lifes waters, bitter
 sweet.
 Love comes upon one with resistless power Of curbless passion, oft with headstrong
 will It plays around like AprlI's breeze and
 shower,
 Or calmly flows, rapid stream and still. It comes with soothing power unto the
 heart
 That welcomes 1t alright, or, sadder fate. It wings our being with so fierce smart That love, we say, more cruel Is than hate And then perchance when love has seased
 to bless,
 Our longing hearts cry out for tenderness About me lying on my mothers breast; sefiess feeling that no pen or tongue Can e'er portray-for silence sings it best; A love as far removed from passions heat As from the embors of It's dying fire: A love to lean on when my weary feet Begin to tremble and my eyes to tire. In youths brief y-day tiercest love you seek
 The reddest rose you grasp; but when 1t
 dies God grant that later blossoms, violets meek, May spring for you beneath life's autumn
 skies
 Then may some loving ones be near to bless Your weary way with love and tenderness.

 One of the diseases which have baf- fled physicians skill from the earliest recorded history of the healing art is
 rheuma tism. Only of late has the pro- fession ever claimed thorough under standing of it's causes. Its cure re- mains within the sphere of experiment,
 so far as the doctors are concerned.
 But note these statements: A reputable
 woman of East Buffalo of admittedly
 sound mind was a victim of rheuma- tism to the extent that she was long in a condition of complete helplessness,
 When it was necessary for her to be moved she had to be carried. Medical knowledge in her case proved it's pow less. The unfortunate patiene had a dog on which she concentrated an affection which was perhaps intensified through her anguish.

To-day she is in perfect robust health the dog, torn and twisted by rheumatism, is q hopeless cripple. The facts are so well authenticated that they cannot be fair Iy doubted The explanation is natural Iy to occult for the lay mind. Science must be relied upon to make 1t clear.
