Hrs LESLIE CARTIER GREAT ACTRESS OF new YORK CT

Mrs. Leslie Carter, probably the most
prominent actress in America, says the
following Of Pe-ru-na:
"Pe-ru-na is sure to prevent q cold.
1t will stop cough before it be-
comes settled. It cures all catarrhal
affections like magic. No money could
tempt me to be without this remedy for
even day. 1t is just the remedy that
all women need, especially such women
that are exposed to the vicissitudes Of
climate, as I am.
81 never neglect an opportunity to
recommend this remedy to my friends.
1t is Americas greatest remedy for
Americas greatest enemy, catarrh and
catarrhal affections. I would not have
catarrh for million dollars, and as long
as have Pe-ru-na at hand to promptly
check the slightest symptoms Of it's
approach, feel perfectly safe from this
disease" N. Leslie Carter.
Mrs. M. Dooley, Mount Airy, Haber-
sham county, Ca, in recent letter saws:
suffered five years more or less with
catarrh Of the stomach and pelvic or
gans. tried a good many remedies of
my own, and bought medicine from a
doctor that was highly recommended,
although the medicine did me no good

without doubt that it has entirely
relieved me of all my ailments. I feel

YOUNG BIDWELL STILL ALIVE.

His Case Considered Wonderful by Phy-
 sicians-Part of the Brain Gone
 Charles Bidwell, the young man in jured at West Haven while riding on a trolley car Friday night, was still alive at the New Haven hospital last night and was apparently better than he was Saturday night. The hospital physicians still thought last night that there was no possibility of his recovery although he seemed to be better than the night before. A portion of the brain has been lost, and the portion gone is the occipit- al part, which controls the voluntary muscles Bidwell is pnralyzed and in the unlocked for event of his recovery from the immediate result of the acci- dent he will doubtless remain paralyZed. It is said that there are on record cases where persons have recovered after hay ing lost portion of the brain, but it is not thought that in those cases so much of the brain was gone as has been lost in this case
 When Bidwell was hurt Friday night the physicians who attended him thought that he would surely die in a few hours at least.
 The unfortunate young man was identified Saturday as Charles Bidwell, eiehteen years of age, a second cook at Charles E. Mason's restaurant on Crown street. He came here from New Hart ford short time ago.

MURDER OF CAPTAIN BRYsON
Tragedy cf Fifty Years Ago Recalled
 hu an Old Resident

Tragedy ce Fifty Years Ago Recalled
 by an Old Resident.
 A well known Chapel street merchant few days ago recalled an incident re- lated by his father that will be remem- bered by many of the older citizens of New Haven. It was the murder of seas almost half a century ago. One of our leading citizens, who was one of the older sea captains and who has been in every corner of the globe during his seafaring career, was asked if he could recall any of the particulars of the tragedy which at the time caused great stir all over the country. He said that Captain Bryson, who had traded mostly between this city and the West Indies, went on long voyage around Cape Horn in the latter part of the for ties to California and then to China. At China he contracted to bring over to this country a sl1ipload of Chinanhen at a reduced rate outside of number of other passengers. When several days out there was some trouble on board among the yellowskins and as things looked dangerous for awhile Captain Bryson determined to put a stop to the trouble. He ordered that the pigtails of seven or eight of the trou- blesome Chinamen be cut off as a pun ishment for their conduct. The pigtails were cut off and two days later Captain Bryson was brutally murdered by the remaining Chinamen.
 A great stir was caused all over the country by the deed, and the death of Captain Bryson was greatly lamented by his many friends in this city.
