PINEY WOODS.
Healthful but Not Always Curative

TO go to the piney woods is help, but if one carries along the bad habits of food and drink that have caused sickness. the piney woods will not pro- duce a recovery.
 Coffee drinking caused blindness in a Virgina gentleman, and his remarkable experience is worth reading. T have been a coffee drinker since my earliest remembrance. If I missed coffee at a meal 1t brought on headache. This should have shown me that I was a victim to drug habit. Finally, wake full restless nights came on. After dinner I was always drowsy and after sleeping would waken stupid and mor- bid, and felt as though I had been drugged. and when this feeling wore off nervousness and restlessness would set in until I drugged myself with coffee again.
 At last my eyesight began to fail Some of the best optical specialists agreed that I had an affliction of the optic nerve, and after two or three years treatment my eyes slowly lost their power and I became almost sight less.
 I was advised to go to pine woods near the sea in a most isolated place. This I did and lived there for two years without any visible benefit. I gave up all hope of recovery until last Spring a friend expressed the belief that the coffee I drank was the cause of all of my trouble He had been slave to it and had been unable to find relief until he quit and took up Postum Food Golf lee.
 His experience startled me and I de- cided to try the change although I had but little faith in its merits. My first cup of Postum proved delicious and was great surprise. It was evidently well made. I had not the slightest trouble in leaving off coffee for the Postum filled it's place perfectly
 During the past six months l have gained in flesh, my sallow complexion has become clear, and my eyesight gradually improved until now I am able to read and write. My mind is once more clear and active, and I no longer suffer from sleepless, nervous spells. You can imagine I feel grateful for my restora tion."-W. Harold Fen ton, Brighton, Va.

THE ELKS' BAZAAR.
Another Large Crowd in Attendance
 Last Night An Unqualified Suc-

l Another Large Crowd in Attendance Last Night - An Unqualified Suc- cess.
 The Elks' bazar continues to be an
 unqualified success and the attendance
 last night was fully as large as that on the opening night which crowd is said
 to be as large as any that ever gathered in Music hall The decorations and the artistic arrangement of the various booths were admired by those present last night, and words of favorable com- nent were heard on every side.
 The committee has arranged for a suitable programme for each evening. The feature of last nights entertain ment was the rendition of E. J. Hog ben's new composition "Linger Long, CT" It is a march and two-step with catchy refrain, and a swing which will make it popular with those who indulge in terpsichorean art. MT. Hogben has given 1000 copies to the bazaar, and on Wednesday evening ten ladies from the Floradora company, all being wives of New York Elks, will conduct the sale of these copies. Messrs Gargins and Gately in song and buck dancing, the Sisters Southard were also well receiv- ed. Mrs. Eugene McKenna, cornet so- ioist, was unable to appear because of illness.
 To-night's programme will include Master Bates, trick cyclist; Thomas Donovan, black face specialties, and the Stewart sisters monologue artists
 A number of prominent citizens were present, among whom were MT. and Mrs. J. c. Hubinger, Commissioners Thompson and Manning, Assistant City Attorney Tyner, Judge Blydenburgh, Registrar F. s. Hamilton, and Joseph Weibel.

SCALED EAST ROCK.
Alpine Climber Climbed Up and Climb
 ed Down.

Alpine Climber Climbed Up and Climb
 ed Down.
 mysterious man has caused much consternation lately by climbing up the face of East Rock, well nigh imposst- ble feat and as much as ones life is worth to trv it.
 He was discovered yesterday morn ing by Mounted Policeman Enright, who is on duty on top of the rock. The mysterious man was half way up the steep ascent, and it was believed that he was crazy He clung to roots and briars and got footholds in little crev- ices of the rock, sometimes swinging by one hand from the dizzy height. He carried stout alpenstock and climbed as one used to the art, He finally reached the top and was questioned by the policeman.
 The climber appeared to be man about thirty years of age, evidently of English birth. He was well dressed and resented the officers questions and said he had right to climb the rock if he wished to- He stated that he had climbed some of the highest peaks in the Abs.
 After gaining the top of the rock he sat down and rested and then, throw after it. He said that he had accom- plished the same feat several weeks ago. On reaching the ground he walk ed quickly away and could not be found afterward.

Health Board Uses Isolation Hospital
 Matter as A Lever

Health Board Uses Isolation Hospital
 Matter as a Lever
 At the meeting of the board of finance last night Mayor Studley presented a communication which he had received from the board of health concerning the building of an isolation hospital. In the communication it was stated if the court of common council would take no further steps towards establishing the hospital the board of health would agree not to take any action in regard to the matter, but with the further con- dition that the board of finance add $2,000 more to the appropriation for the account for care of contagious diseases in the health department estimates This item had been already fixed at $500 by the board of finance, and since the estimates had been already made up the finance board took no action on the board of health's proposition.

CARPENTERS AND JOINERS.
Their Organizatio in a Flourishing
 Condition

Their Organization in a Flourishing
 Condition.
 The Amalgamated Society of Carpen- ters and Joiners is holding largely at- tended sessions on it's meeting nights and is in a most prosperous condition. Strong efforts were being made to boom the organization socially and otherwise and thees efforts are thus far meeting with gratifying success. The organi- zation is using it's influence towards securing legislation by the present con- gress which will provide for the build- ing of some, at least, of the new war ships at the government navy yards where it is claimed that under existing conditions the vessels can be built, much more cheaply than by contrac-. tors.
 Already responses have been received from some of Connecticut's members in congress to requests sent them asking them to use their efforts in behalf of the desired legislation, and the members who have thus far replied have pledged their influence for the measure.

WEST HAVEN ELECTIONS.

The Outcome is Doubtful-Excitemen at the Polls To-Day. To-day the West Haven borough elec- ton will take place, and there seems to be considerable doubt over the outcome. For the past few weeks the interest manifested by both parties has been great and it is expected that heavy vote will be boiled today. Warden Thompson will be opposed by Dennis A. Kimberley, and one of the closest elections for the wardenship that have taken place in years is expected. All the men on the democratic ticket are working harder than ever with their friends to secure elections, and the re- publicans, fearing a general turnover are putting in all the spare time they lave.

TWO OF wEBSTER'S SPEECHNS v,ha pIvn,nutlo rnanch pra +Jyy avrxSvssN

| The Plymouth speech greatly exteuQ%N ! ed Webster's reputation as an oratax5 and was most impressive, in it's itaii16 , diate effect. George Ticknor, who w6 disposed to be hypercritical and liSylsS ally admired with difficulty, someWhS{ 1 hysterically wrote in a letter 0n3 tli % day of it's delivery: T warn you bef0rl
 hand that have not the least conifd ence in my own opinion His rnaiIna}{s
 carried me away completely. fe$ seems to me incredible. [ WaG ! never so excited by public speaking b4 ssF
 fore in my life. Three or four tifneS
 thought my temples would burst with
 the gush of blood" This speech wan IF
 ceived everywhere with the most &5 M
 travagant praise, and may fairly t$
 said to have established Webster'e p011 I
 ton as the first orator of the natld1!
 There have been arguments befor4
 the same great tribunal (the UnitSXS9 States Supreme Court) more discur6tvS2
 ly eloquent, more witty, and delivered X with a greater parade of learning, th4I{Si
 Webster's in the Dartmouth ColI&8S
 case; but in the boldness, novelty aSi&N3 far-reaching character of the pr0b0Slk
 tions advanced. in the strengtilg WitlRS which were maintained, in the iudf@
 ment with which the points of arfI324S SE ment were selected and the skill wf{if'e which they were pressed upon t311 Y court, in the natural oratorical pasSfoE
 so great that for five hours the spect1 H tors were held spell-bound in the dlXS8| cussion of questions of law, no greStG4
 speeches was ever made before the 6i1S preme Court. No other advocates iE# that tribunal ever equalled what
 himself never surpassed. The putliDl3F ed resort of this speech is apparently Ss much condensed, and contains only tIis outlines of what was said. There is ucg hint of the beautiful peroration. Mfs Ticknor says of the printed version that those who heard him when the speech $ was delivered "stil wonder how such dry bones could ever have lived Witl1 the power they there witnessed and felt" But even the printed version igz classic in it's severe simplicity aIldf beauty. Although this was rct tsss'sss' as first cause argued by Webster before SB the national high court it especially marked the beginning of career wfich# " continued for more than third of century, and stamps him on the wTi0I6 x as the greatest figure who ever appear- ed at that august bar-S. w.
