though his career has been a remarkable one, his keen perception being seldom or never at fault in determining the value of an investment, or the probable out come of business contract. Notwith- standing his business cares MT Skidmore has always been 8 reader, and he has kept well informed upon general topics. In politics he has been lifelong Demo- erat, but during the Civil war he gave his support to the government in it's ef- forts to repress the Rebellion. He has never taken an active part in local poli- tics, although at one time he served as 8 member of the Bridgeport council, and was member of the State Legislature |; also for several years was chief engineer of the fire department at Bridgeport. For many years he has been leading worker in Trinity Episcopal church at Newtown, in which he has held office continuously, and at the time the new edifice was built he was one of the ten men to contribute the greater portion of the cost. Socially the family is promi- nent, and our subject is a member of the I. O. o. F., and Of Quepeack Lodge, No l, F. & A. M., at New Haven.
 MT and Mrs Skidmore had seven chil- dren: Stella, wife of k. l.. Beard, of Cambridge, Mass.; Julius w., a hat block manufacturer in Bridgeport; Philo Hurd, Jr., manufacturer of the Pacific Iron Works; Abigail (deceased), wh 0 married the late Henry T. Nichols; Will liam, who died at the age of six; and Herbert M., who died in 1887 at the age of 22.

bility, as he was to be the executive head of the enterprise, and the offer was quite compliment to his ability. The times were unpropitious, for Of 40 stock companies organized in that locality about that date only two survived, but the Pacific Iron Works was one of the fortunate ones, continuing on it's original plan until 1861. The company then took contract for building the machinery for the gunboat "Kanswha," the amount involved being $45, 500, which so alarmed some of the stockholders that number of changes were made in the company, resulting finally in the requirement by MT Skidmore of the sole ownership of the business, though rather by chance than by foresight. During the year 1861 MT Skidmore went to Washington in connection with the contract referred to, and had an interview with the Secre- tary of the Navy.
 On the establishment of the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine shops at Bridge port, the Pacific Iron Works gained addi- tional contracts of 8 profitable kind, and later, MT Skidmore devoted his attention to the manufacture of stationary engines and boilers, becoming the leader in that line of business in the world. He re- tained the management of the works un- til 1884, employing from 100 to 160 men, and in the meantime he took advantage of other openings to turn an honest pen- ny or two. In January, 1870, he made visit to Florida and other Southern States, spending some time Tn Tallahas. see, New Orleans, Mobile and Montgom- cry, and on his way home he stopped in Washington, where the first colored sen. ator was then attracting attention. His trip through the South had impressed MT Skidmore with the possibilities of that region .ss field for the judicious investment of capital, and he at once be- gan the investment of the St Johns rail- road, leading from St Johns river to St Augustine, Fla, distance of 15 miles. After five years he sold out his interest
 in the enterprise at a handsome profit.
 In 1880, !having built some steam fire en- zines for Galveston and New Orleans, he
 went South with them and spent two
 months. During this time he invested

A Timely Word to Fruit Grow
AN ENEMY OF THE PEACH TREE.

To the Editor of TEE BEE: beg space | in your paper to tell the readers that it is not always best to keep what we ind | out to ourselves. I bought 100 peach trees two years ago. Just like other men thought the late spring frosts was all there is to fear, but found out it is not. Last year saw some of the new growth died out and few of the trees died. This spring saw the same thing. got Mir Jeffrey of Woodbury to look l them over for the yellows. Mir Jeffrey has studied fruit trees and bugs for 8 good many years. Before he saw the trees he said it was not the yel1ows. Then he looked at the trees and showed us where the snow cricket had laid her eggs in the young twigs. There were thousands of eggs laid in rows right in the center of the new young twigs down in the pith of the twies. He showed us how there was from 10 to 75 or 100 eggs laid last September when the twig was soft and green and proved how one fe- male would lay hundreds of eggs. He 0S AoW esAC pWiSo sAoW aAN LhO oSEs hatch the last of July and early August. Then the twigs grow weak and die or break of. He told us that these snow crickets and pin borers are more to be afraid of than the late spring frosts and that few this year will make & good many thousands next. One man could let his trees grow careless and spoil all his neighbours trees in two or three years. He said cut off all the twigs with the eggs in and burn them right up. He cut them out for us. He told us he never saw 80 many as there are this spring. want to have other folks know 1t in time to save their trees and not raise the vermin to kill all the peach trees near them. So many folks read THE BEE think 1t will do very much good to tell the readers before it is too late to save their trees. Yours respect fully, J. S., Southbury, Ct.

Ferris g., had two children, Henry, who
 married daughter of F. T. T.Barnum and
 resides in New York; and Catherine,
 wife of Dr Hewitt of Bridgeport.
 Our subject spent his early years in
 Bethlehem and received all his educa- tion at the local schools. When about 15 years old he went to Norwaik, and
 for four months was employed there as a clerk, in the following winter securing a similar position in New Haven, in the
 wholesale grocery store of Henry Oakes,
 where he remained until he attained his majority. He then engaged in business
 for himself in partnership with N. c. Hall, purchasing the interest of MT K,tt- ston, this arrangement continuing five years, when MT Skidmore returned to Bethlehem and opened general store, the enterprise proving so successful that at the end of one year he bought out his only competitor in business. Under these fiatterlng prospects he established & home of his own, marrying Miss Abi- gail N. Ives of Cheshire, who shared his joys and sorrows until her death, which occurred July 16, 1893. He carried on his businhss in Bethlehem successfully until 1854, when the failure of the Wood bury Bank, of which he was director, ,in- volyed him in serious loss. As 8 result he removed to Bridgeport in September, 1853, thinking to retrieve his losses by engaging in business with J. E. Durham, but the partnership lasted only one month, MT sk'dmore deciding to accept a position as secretary and treasurer of the Pacific Iron Works at Bridgeport. l The post entailed considerable responsi-

HooD vs HOOD.

O. HOOD 6 CO.,, VICTORIOUS IN IMPORT.
 J. 0. HOOD.
 Important suits have just been decided in the U. s. Circuit Courts involving the right to the word Hood or Hoods. Messrs c. I. Hood 6 Co.,, of Lowell, Mass, proprietors of Hoods Sarsaparilla, began suit for infringement against Dr J. c. Hood of Louisville, Ky., who was put ting up what he called stDr Hoods Saraa- parilla." After hearing in the U. S.. Circuit Court at Louisville, Judge Evans on April 12 granted a temporary in. junction in favor of c. I. Hood & Co.,, and restraining J. c. Hood from using the word Hood in any way or form on any preparation of sarsaparilla.
 Messrs O. I. Hood 6 Go. also began suit against retail druggist in Indian apolis, Louis H. Renkert, who was sell ing DrJ. c. Hoods Sarsaparilla. Dr J. c. Hood employed counsel and made a defence but Judge Baker of the U. s. Circuit Court granted an injunction which on April B became perpetual.
 These two decrees esta blish the exclu- sive right of c. I. Hood & Co.,, to the word "Hood's," and decide in effect that no other person can put up Hoods Sar- even If his name is Hood, nor can any retail druggist sell or offer for sale any sarsaparilla bearing the name Hood or Hoods other than that prepared by c. I. Hood & Go.
 These decisions will be gratifying to every fair minded person. No manu- should object to fair competition, but when an attempt is made to steal or upon business which has been by great skill, labor and ex- penditurs, justice cannot be dealt out too quickly. Nor should "substitution" be allowed, when 6 standard article is called for. Therefore when you go to buy Hoods Sarsaparilla you should be sure to get "only Hood's.'
