Following the arrival of the many car
goes of coal at this port Sunday and yes
terday the docks of the city have been
so congested that the forces unloading
the coal have been placed In nearly every
instance in positions like that OF the coal
dealers In delivering the coal.
The capacity OF the docks are limited.
and while many have ample storage cap
acity few OF them have the capacity for
handling many vessels at time. There
are none OF the docks which have facili-
ties for unloading coal which are not row
i'm use and the dealers are straining ev-
cry effort and energy towards discharg-
ing the cargoes which are waiting.
Under ordinary conditions the facilities
for unloading the coal would be ample,
but there are three times the customary
number OF vessels 10 arrive with coal. OF
course each captain of vessel Is anXi-

Thursday afternoon, July 10, between

on Saturday, July II, Lenox VS.. Lime
Rock, both on home grounds.
Last Thursday, the Moulders, ETC.,
of the two b. r. Co. Foundries,
known as the Sand Rats VS.. Weary
Waggles, played very spirited game of
ball, the score being ii to Is in favor
of the Sand Rats. No members of
the first team of Lime Rock were al
lowed to play on either side. Charles
Meyer officiated as umpire. Several
of the plays were very amusing Ito the
audience) and it was hilarious sight
to see the way some of the "has beens"
did stunts on the diamond. Charles
Hubbard saved the day for the Sand
Rats by pitching the last few innings
and making the Weary Waggles feel
weary indeed. A return game be-
tween these teams may be looked for
about the 9Th of August.
The game, last Saturday, Winsted
Y. M. G. A. VS.. Lime Rock, resulted
in a complete defeat for the visitors,
the score being 10 to l. The Winsteds
expected a walk-over, but failed to get
it. They were, however, treated to a
pretty exhibition of the National
game as it should be played. No
errors for Lime Rock, all plays being
made with remarkable skill and pre-
cision. Even w. W. Norton, the
grand old man of the Lime Rocks
notwithstanding his having both feet
in the grave, showed the boys that his
hands were still much alive. The

Once vesuvius destroyed two Italian
cities in a few hours. The people saw the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling OF
languor, sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental discom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old
"coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia, heartburn, feeling
of dullness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred like the moss on tree, irritabiity,
disgust with food. .
