THE NAVAL MILITIA BALL.
A Beautiful Event in Music Hall Last
 Night Largely Attendad

Beautiful Event in Music Hall Last
 Night Largely Attended.
 The second dance of the local division of the Connecticut Naval battalion. given in Music hall last evening. was one of the prettiest and most success ful events ever attempted by the New Haven "middies." A number of the men were in the sailor uniforms and added to the picturesque appearance of the occasion. The hall seldom looked prettier than it did last night. Strung from balcony to balcony in a number of lines were full set of international and navy signals and on the stage at either end was one of the divisions s epound Hotchkiss guns. At regular intervals between the guns were stacks of arms, including guns, canteens, knapsacks, etc. Resting against the fornt of the stage were three sets of oars and these helped to make the pie ture very pretty one. The balconies were tastefully draped with American flags and hung from the gallery near the door was an immense flag, which set off to good advantage a large ships wheel.
 The committee that so successfully managed the dance was composed of Douglass Campbell Smythe, Henry Stuart Hotchkiss and Ambrose Boards ley Jewett. Some of those in attend ance were Miss Gilchrist and Miss Moore, of the National Park seminary, of Washington, who were the guests of Miss Bessie Welch, Miss Violet Blogg, Miss Emma Hum, Miss Perkins, Miss Brown, Miss Welch, Miss Hasselbach, Miss Maude Kimberley, Mrs. Kelley, Miss Filley, Miss Jeannette Ford, Miss Strach, Miss Anna Peterson, Miss Nun son, Miss Johnson, Mrs. Samuel E.

RAILROAD NEWS.
New Covering For Railroad
Cars Being Tried.
Experiments 80 Far Are Entire
~ Satisfactory.
COPPER MAY BE USED.
More Lasting Than Wood or
Anything Else Known
Greatest Demand viii Come
From the South.
OPPER Ny BE USED.


The manufacture OF passenger cars is
undergoing a radical change and it Is
difficult to predict the changes which
may take place In the construction
within a few years. The Wilson Car
company Of Springfield. Mass, has I'M
dertaken the manufacture Of copper
covered cars which It is thought VIII
greatly improve the durability OF the
cars. The invention is very recent and
Is the result OF much labor For years
men have been at work endeavoring to
discover some chemical substance which
should help preserve the cars
Another company Of eastern car man
ufacturers has been so favorahly inl-
pressed with the present discovery that
it has accepted an order from the Erie
railroad to make 20 cars OF the new
pattern The only cars Of this KIND now
in use are sample cars ard until the
present time no other company mas
tried to build cars on this plan. The
FitchburE and Erie road watched
closely all experiments with the copper
covered cars, and was so well satisfied
with them that it placed an order with
the Wilson company Of Springfield II
is thought that these cars Will soon
come into common use. The copper
fore it is placed on the cars. 1t Is oxl-
died, and other experiments are now
being tried that will determine the ex-
act color in which these cars are to ap-
pear finally, though blush black win
probably be the color II polishing the
metal, chemicals are used which viii
leave the car a natural color after the
weather has worn away the natural col
or. tt is thought they viii present
more uniform color than the cars built
today.
tt is expected that the greatest de-
mand for these cars will be from the
southern states and from South America
where samples have already been sent.
Strangely as. it may seem, railroad men
claim that the weather of a southern
climate is much more severe on cars
than that Of the north. Some cars for
South American railroads have been
covered with mahogany which is one OF
the most enduring woods. Tt is nearly
IS expensive as copper and much less
durable.

when everything else has failed,
Paine's celery compound has brought
me back to health
The thousands of instances where this
has been said-the scores of people in
every community who have told this
simple story; the downright, hard, cold
facts the grateful acknowledgment of
men and women who have suffered from
the diseases that have their origin in
impaired nervous systems and sluggish
impure blOod@theSe are what have
made Paine's celery compound far and
away the one remedy above all others
that physicians prescribe and the public
indorse.
It is by merit, and merit alone that
Paine's celery compound has achieved
its wonderful pre-eminence not only
IN this country but throughout the civil
lied world.
After the unfortunate person who is
a1ling because the blood needs new life.
and the nerves require natures food
finally tries Paine's celery compound,
and gets immediate relief, another is
added to the great multitude of people
whose praise of this remedy has made
the demand for it many times larger
than that of all other remedies put to-
gether.
A person must have lost. all confidence
in his fellownen who can read the fol-
lowing letter and not be convinced Of
the great benefit Paine's celery COM
pound has done, is doing, and will con-
tinue to do for sick and nervous people
wherever it finds them.

he or she has taken a remedy that has
