 Captain William H. Molthrop, de- scendant of the Molthrops,. of New Ha- ven, suffered a paralytic stroke We'd nesday at his home in Gales Ferry and is critically i'll. Captain Molthrop was a student at the old Lowell school when a boy and spent much of his early life in the West Indies, sailing out of here. His father was one of the pioneers in Oregon, going from here, and Captain Molthrop went to that coast to sail ships for him. Later on he visited many parts of the world in handling ships and subsequently, he became a government contractor, building forts and the like in the west. Later he became interest," ed in western mining and about twenty years ago he returned east and since that time he has been engaged in the wholesale ice business, in shipbuilding, and in government contracts.

 Captain Molthrop was brother-in- law of the late Hon. Benjamin Stark, of New London. His wife is daugh- ter of the late James Adams, a well known New London whaleman.

 Diseases of
 the Stomach. G0UT AND RHEUMATISM.

Dr. Hofmeister in recent lecture, said:
 " The unnatural motions of the stomach causing pressure and belchings, the irritations of the intestines resulting in catarrh of the bowels, and the infamed mucous menbrances are the most fruitful of all known causes of disease. Out of them grow most kidney and liver troubles, dia- betes, all rheumatic affections and gout. I have found that the unnatural motions of the stomach cease, the intestinal troubles be come soothed, and health results from the use of Carlsbad Sprudel Water. The diuretic effects of this water, its quiet action npon the iilfamed intestines are beyond all praise" {" Whenever a decided lax ative action is desired add one teaspoonful of the Carlsbad Sprud- el Salt to a tu1nblerftl1 of the water and take it early in the morning before breakfast.
 Beware of limitations. Each bottle has the signature of Eisner & Mendelson Co.,, sole agents, New York, on the neck label.

 mayor wanted to wait until after the hearing on the pension bill at Hart ford and even proposed having the members of the committee go up there and do all they could to have the meas ure repealed. The gentlemen said that Mayor Driscoll used all kinds of excuses to put off the action demanded by the citizens one of which was that he wished to see the full committee be- fore he acted. One or two of the mem- bers of the committee were absent when the resolutions were presented to him. MT. Driscoll referred to tho reso- lutions as charges and Mr Hamilton said "They are not charges. They are resolutions asking that you do your duty, which is to call on the commis- sioners and investigate" To this Mayor Driscoll is alleged to have said Well, how can I'do that?" MT Ham, ilton then said that the committee was not there as an advisory board but that the mayor could call on the cor poration counsel for an opinion if he wanted to. "The mayor finally said" said MT Hamilton, that he was bounded to death and that he wished the committee would make it easy for him, and ended up by saying that if somebody would present charges he

BRIEF REVIEW.
What We Spend for Drinks.

According to the American Grocer,
we, the people of the United States
{including Kansas and Maine), spent
one thousand and sixty million dollars
last year for alcoholic drinks. Count
ing our population at seventy millions,
that would be about SIS apiece. The
United Kingdom spent last year for
drink about seven hundred and eighty
million dollars, or $40 apiece for its in
habitants. 1t would seem from this
that the Americans only drink about
one-fourth less per gullet than the peo-
pie of the British isles, but we must re-
member that spirits and wine are very
much cheaper there than in this coun-
try, and that even beer is somewhat
cheaper, so that $40 in England doubt
less buys at least twice as much alco-
holic beverage as SIS buys here. One
would like to know the truth about
this American billion-dollar expendi-
ture for drink, what proportion of it
promotes health and happiness, what
proportion of it prejudices both. There
will be little dispute that very consid-
cradle share of the money could be
more advantageously expended in other
ways. The Prohibitionists and their
sympathizers will hold it that it is all
much worse than merely wasted. Philo-
sophical observers and persons Of more
moderate views will disagree with that
conclusion, but will doubtless grant that
the nations rum bill could be dimin-
ished at least one-half without detri-
ment to the welfare of any one except
such of our fellow citizens as subsist on
the profit there is in making and SELL
ing the rum.
