A QUEER FIND.
Thousands of Cigars Made Years Ago
 Discovered in Norwich.

F. -
 Thousands of Cigars Made Years Ago Discovered in Norwich. Deputy Internal Revenue Collector A. 0. Ladd of Jewett City, who has
 the eastern part of the state under his supervision, has recently made crlri- Ious ind in Norwich. 1t consists of l25,000 cigars, made apparently twenty hve years or so ago and hidden away
 without being stamped. Alterations
 were being made in the cellar of a
 block on North Thames street owned by John 8. Byrne, and when a closet there was opened these cigars were discovered. They bore the cautious labeis,' as they are called, of William |F. Roberts & Son, who were cigar manufacturers here years ago, but they were no starnpted. The building was formerly owned by Sanford Chapman. now deceased, a widely known spirit uaIst, and 1t is possible that the cigars were. manufactured from tobacca raised on his farm.
 The cigars as they were brought to Che light proved to be mouldy and use less, but they must in the first place nave been worth comfortable amount or money. The stamps for them at current rates would be $75, and the cigars were presumbly worth much more It 1t possible that the bondsmen of Roberts ( Son may be called upon. Bonds to the government never expire. Apparently somebody is responsible for this big lot of cigars being unstamped, but why they were hidden away and never used by anybody has yet to be made clear.

NrarriaEes Expecte ed.

Only recently the complaint was made that the preparations for wed- ding were becoming so elaborate, troublesome and costly that young men preferred to remain bachelors rather than undergo the ordeal. Tn view of this complaint is is reassur- ing to learn that, owing to the perfec- tion of system established in the coun- ty building, weddings may >now be performed there with the greatest dispatch. A couple, it is reported, may seek the marriage license win dow at any time in the day and then depart from the county building man and wife in the space of eight min utes and 20 seconds. The gain over the slow, old-fashioned wedding, which requires weeks for preparation and whole day for the ceremony it- self is obvious. A man may now get married in less time than it. takes to ride around the loop. Some improved method of courtship on the Lightning express principle doubtless will soon be forthcoming Chicago Daily News.

HsszgM \ W RICH g. POOR eg]
 KAlLlMl5 '

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the akin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- iuteiy sure remedy for all itch inr diseascs of the skin.

AN IRISH METEORITE.

The British museum has. learn, ac- |quired the meteoric stone which fell on the 18th of last month in q cornfield near Crumlein, County Antrim. Ire
 Mnd. It. weighs nearly ten pounds, and as it fell 8 noise like boiler ex- plosion was heard for some miles around. It sank into the earth to 8 depth of only eighteen inches. the fact that it did not go deeper down being probably due to the meteorite having first struck q stone when it touched the ground. This is the fourth recorded |meteorite, am informed, which has fallen in Ireland, the one before this having fallen i'll Dundrum, Tipperary. in August, 1865. Only two meeorites are, believe recorded in Scotland, the last fall having occurred near Perth on May IT. 1880. The most an clerit of all records of the fall of stones from the sky, if interpreted in the usual way, IS that given in the tenth chapter of the Book of Joshua, where we read that during the flight of the Canaa11ites after the bathIe of Gibeon great Stones were cast down from heaven. so that more were slain by them than with the sword. It is not quite clear, however from the text that & prolonged shower of large hail. stones is not referred to- It is some what singular that, as am reminded till the beginning of the present cen tlry the fall of stones from the sky was an event the actt1ality of which neither men of science nor the mass Of the people could be brought to believe in. The oldest undoubted sky stone still preserved is the one seen in the parish church of Ensisheim, in Alsace, of which a record states that it fell o1l the 18th of November, 1492. -Edin- bmgh Scotsman.

George Gould is as democratic man as you could wish to meet, says a writer who has kept an eye on his movements of late. He is an enthusi. astic athlete, particularly fond ofipolo His stable of polo ponies is about the finest in the land. He loves to play the game or play at it with his two boys. He is intensely domestic and when not in Wall street or somewhere through the country on business bent he is most always to be found at home with his horses and boys. Tn appear ance he is the New York type Of the successful young New Yorker, no diff ferent in make up from lot of them. Tn Wall street he fs always tremendous ly busy. When he hasn't enough there to keep him busy he goes home, but there's most always enough to occupy his time. When he wants to see man he goes out and finds him, and there is nothing of the aristocrat about him. He is expected now to devote his entire time to the rounding out of his cher ished Greater Missouri Pacific scheme. This system will include be sides the Missouri Pacific, the Western Maryland, the Wabash. the Denver and Rio Grande the Texas Pacific and sey- era1 minor railroad properties. Eyentu- ally it will 90 to the Pacific coast The Gould tendency, as it may be called for want of a better term, appears now to be so to arrange the multifarious Gould affairs as to relieve the head of the house, George Gould, of the active responsibilities of management. The present Missouri Pacific is likely to be succeeded by a holding company into which shall be financed the several properties named or all the railroads now grouped under the name Of Gould, so the stock market ought to be com paratively free of disturbances originat- ing in Washington.

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. I,8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn.,, says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments l used did me any good until l procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that felt relief from the first, and dimproved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. Y
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

4There has been | marked tisposi,

There has been a marked disposi- tion on the part of a majority of the republican leaders to run away from the whole question" says a writer on a New York paper in discussing the negro question. They have avoided making 8 party issue of it, and 1t is to be hoped that this avoidance will con- tinue. It is problem which should be taken up with entire irnpartiality, and with no prejudice against either white or black in the matter. No sec- tional feeling should be allowed to in- trude into its discussi0n. As General Sherman warned up, it is the possible hotbed of another civil war, and we should discuss 1t with the gravity of men who haye, to avert such a calam- ity from their country. As . prelim. mary to this there should be an ob- 1ivion of past ofrenses on both sides. Tn the great multiplicity and complex ity of human affairs 1t is always easy to make lip 8 partisan case by pushing some facts to the front and ignoring others. In the case in hand only those facts which make for peace should be thus, emphasized. We should discuss it as Americans, and not as partisans. Two principles seem to be ascertained
 The first is that the mere maintenance of the present situation will not serve any purpose. It has been intolerabls for thirty years at least, and 1t must be ended. The southern states must be- left free to determine for themselves the basis of suffrage and not De driven

to evade law and order to maintain q state of things which will be mainr tained at any rate. The intelligence. the political experience and the wealth of the south must rule that section, and so long as these are in the possession of the white race this must mean "a white mans government. Social law makes this inevitable, and statute law should not come into collision with this''

From the photographs of European kings on their hunting trips w@ infer that the ordinary procedure is for the game to walk quietly into range, a field marshal to announce that fact and an orderly to present the loaded wea- pon to his majesty.

Sam Borders Witnessed the Panic
at Birmingham.

Sam Borders, of this city, a ton
serial artist In Ed Williams barber
shop, was In Birmingham last Fri
day night when the panic occurred
| and was an eye witness to that ter
rible affair. He and Rev. j. w.
Hill, pastor of the Colored Baptist
church in Waxahachie, were there
as delegates to them ational Baptist
Convention, and it was by mere ac.
cident that neither were in the
church when the stampede took
place. They arrived home yesterday
and in conversation with a LIGHT
reporter today Sam Borders said he
could not begin to describe the
scene. He was late arriving at the
church that night and on account of
the large crowd within he did MT
try to go.inside but, took a position
near the main entrance on the out
side. He says that Booker Wash
ington finished speaking a few min
utes before nine O'Clock and the
choir had started song when the
panic began. His attention was first
attracted by a noise which resemb-
led low, muttering thunder He.

the church, he saya, was mass of

When the panic started in the
church Sam says there were five or
six hundred people on the outside
who tried to force their way in.
The two crowds met in the main en-
trance or vestibule of the church
and for more than twenty-five min
utes there was struggle to get In
and to get out. People, he said,
died while standing up, supposed to
have been caused by suffocation,
many were trampled to death and
only to be run over and killed.
When the police and fire department
arrived they began pulling the peo-
pie out one at the time but as soon
