He SAW THE PRINCE.

The popular and energetic John w.
Hoyt went to New York on Saturday
and had the pleasure OF seeing the
much-talked about Prince Henry to
his hearts satisfaction. He was ac-
companied by his brother, F. A. Hoyt,
of Danbury. They first went down
the harbor on tug and saw the
Prince as he stood on the deck of the
steamship. Later they secured a good
point of observation from a freight car
and saw the Prince diSembark. Mr.
Hoyt says it was worth the trip to see
the enterprise of the newspapers,
who had tugs of their own and were
on hand to gain point over their
competitors. 1t is said that Mr. Hoyt
through megaphone sent an invita-
tion to the Prince to be the guest of
the Red Men at Roger Sherman hall
on March 3, when Lyman H. Howe
will exhibit his moving pictures. The
Prince replied that it would give him
deep pleasure to be present on that
interesting occasion, but that his
itinerary as laid out by Secretary Hay
would prevent him. However, he
wished to be graciously remembered
to the noble Red Men of New Milford
and sent his best wishes.

THOSE GNAWING RATS.
"A Common and Curious Illusion.

81 felt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is a symptom. Other signs are
heaviness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, etc., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute infammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life a terror. Ask
anybody who has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by Dr..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings
ton, N. Y. It has proved brilliantly sue
cessful in maladies of the digestive and
nervous systems and in disorders of the
liver, bladder and kidneys. All druggists

His mind was supposed to be far away. devising schemes for the social and moral i'm proVement of his fellow creatures These philanthropic musings did not prevent him from paying great deal of attention-tOo much perhaps-to his personal appearance, for even in those days of beaus, bucks and dandies, of Counts dOrsay and others. men could not help thinking Eugene Sue over dressed
