Interesting "Reminiscences of Civil War
 Days.
 In a special letter to the Hartford Times is the following of special inter- est to many in this city:
 "The old house where Colonel A. H, Terry. commanding the Second Con- necticut Regiment, the three months' man, had his headquarters, Is still standing in a fair state of preserva- tion. Lieutenant Burrows says that it looks about the same as it did forty wears ago It may interest some of the Second Regiment boys to know that the bomb-proof cellar they dug in the rear of the headquarters is now used for a vegetable cellar. MT Ford, who now lives on the place. remarks, that it makes a right good vegetable eel lar, too."
 The old Eagle Hotel, which was headouarters for General Mcdowell at the first battle of Bull Run, Is fast going to pieces. It Is not occupied and the natives say that it is haunted by some of the Yankees who died there. The building was used by both armies in both battles as a hospital, and within its borders many men

ation is a serious question. We ma property assessed for double it's value. The tax on mans property does not determine it's value. He oftentimes can not sell for $3.000 property on which ne is taxed for $5000. Such condition IS not right; it is unjust. And we can scarcely look to our state legislators for the remedy. What can two or three men do at Hartford? We have got to fight to get our just rights Our an oestors years ago fought for thelr rights, but their cause was no more just than ours to-day We are all New Haveners. Party is nothing; should De nothing. The time is fast coming when party will be obliterated in munl- cpal affairs A municipal government is just as much of financial organlza- tion as a bank, and we must make 1t just as successful.

F4T4L STORM 1T PORTSMOUTH.
Two Persons Killed and Several In
 jured.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. S.-The most disastrous wind storm since the sum mer of 1898, when pavilion at Hamp- ton Beach was demolished and several people killed, passed over here this at- ternoon, causing the death of two per sons on Seaverns Island and in1uring half a dozen others. The dead are:
 Mrs. l.. M. Medley of New York, wife of Howard H. Medley, a member of the naval band at the navy yard; Joel Pearson, stone cutter.
 The injured are: John Robinson and John Karlstrom, stone cutters; Martin Damn, of the naval band; Inspector Sullivan and Inspector Webster of Concord. Two other persons, names unknown, received slight injuries.
 The storm came dead from the west. The greatest force of the wind was eX- erted at Seavers Island. where the big granite shed of Contractor John Pierce of New York who Is constructing the new dry dock at the navy yard, was converted into a mass of debris. The shed consisted simply of a large roof supported by timbers with no sides to it and under this several persons had gathered seeming protection. The roof was lifted bodily from its supports and the large travelling crane even was lift ed from it's foundations and fell on those under it.

breathed their last.
 Centerville has changed but little during the last forty years. Only two new buildings have been erected in all that time. It was at this place that a captain in the Second Connecticut Regiment was invited to call upon two young ladies, who live not far from the village. He called and was captured by Mosby's men. Colonel Terry was of the opinion that the girls were a party to the trick, and sent a squad out to bring them to camp. Lieutenant Burrows was a member of that detail The girls were brought into camp in mule wagon and when they were searched plan of the camp, with statement of the number of troops and the po- sition of the batteries, was found in their possession
 The girls whose name was Scott were sent to Washington, and Cen terville people with whom your cor respondent talked say that they do not know what ever became of them. The old stone church, where SO many of the fleeing Union soldiers took shelter after the Bull Run disaster, is one of the sights of Centerville. Many names of the soldiers are stlll to be seen on the walls. This church was used also as headquarters by General Washington and General Braddocl while on that ill-fated ex- petition against the Indians long be- fore the Revolution.

STATE OWNS ISLANDS.
Parties Negotiating For the Purchase
 of Them.


 That the state of Connecticut owns three or four small islands lying near the coast, on the towns of Greenwich and Stamford, is undisputed, for par ties have leased the same and other parties are now negotiating Tor the nurchase of one of them known as Vincent Island. If the state owns the fee to any other islands within It's con- fines if, Is one of those things, to quote ord Dundreary in Our American Cousin" which no fellow can ma ont Occasionally during session If the General Assembly resolutlon will be introduced authorizing the troas,,rer to sell or lease some island. until then unknown. to certain parties, and then the treasurer and other state officials find out that the state presuiil- ably owns the island, else some persons wouldn't want to lease or buy
 Eight years ago, in 1893, the treas urer was directed by a resolution which was passed without objection, to lease to J. Woolsey Selleck' or stamford, Vincent Island located in tha waters of Long Island Sound, Tor {, form of not less than ten years nor more than twenty years at the eXplr- ation of the present lease, upon such terms as to said treasurer may seem nroner and just" A ten years lease or inc property to the same party was about to expire and the lease was made for twenty years at the annual rental of $5 per year, payble in ad- vance. The island is located Tn the so- called Westcott's Cove
 At the recent session of the General Assembly, the treasurer was authorized bv resolution to sell the island on such terms as he may deem just The rental would imply that the island is worth about S100, which at hve ner cent. would bring in annually the sum which the treasurer received un- der the lease which has now twelve wears to run. It is said down Stam- | ford way that the state treasurer will l nrohahlv get more for the island than the price which it is computed to be worth according to the rental Parties | in Norwich are among those negotlat- | ing for the purchase of the island and | there are others.

CONFESSIONS OF A DRAMATIC
 CRITIC.

CRITIC.
 It was about thirty years ago that I took the place of critic of the drama for the Boston Daily Advertiser. My first service was rendered when that news paper had for it's editors two remarka- ble men, to whom I can pay at this mo- ment hardly any other tribute than to mention them by name. The assistant, George Bryant Woods, the most preco- ciously brilliant person I ever knew, died in 1871, in his twenty seventh year, having won distinction as critic of It. erature and the theater, as a special correspondent as raconteur of snort stories. and as a writer of leaders upon nearly all current topics. The editor in chief Charles Franklin Dunbar, who nassed away only few months ago, senior professor of political economy at Harvard and ripe in years and honors, was a man Of great wisdom, force and acumen, and the master of a style which, for point, power and purity, has been surpassed by that of scarcely any
 American journalist Of our day.
 My equipment for my task may be
 indicated in very brief paragraph. From a child I had been interested in
 the theater and a reader of dramatic literature I had been student Of Shakespeare for many years. having received my first impetus towards the great poet from the accomplished Dr. William J. Rolfe, when he was head master and I pupil of the Dorchester High school. had seen great deal of acting, and had tried my prentice hand

How to Destroy Foul broad

While foul brood is easily caught,
it is only done by contact, usually by
working on diseased matter. Bees
thus carry and introduce it to the
larvae in their own hive. Beekcep-
ers should examine their bees and
clean up all dead colonies and all i'm
pure matter as soon as possible, and
if you find any brood with the wrong
or backward presentation, you can be
sure it is diseased and will die. Bees
thus affected may be transferred on
to foundation and fed with sugar
sirup or pure honey, but if they are
very badly diseased Mt this time of
thc'year it would be best to dispose
OF everything except a valuable hive.
