HEARTBURN.

When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, heart burn is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Mas ticate the food thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between meals and when you feel fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, in dicatlng that you have eaten too much, take one of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn may be avoided. For sale by all druggists.

Young Man Met With a Bicycle Acci-

Hiram Davies, while riding his bi- cycle along the Waterbury road last evening, had the misfortune of having the front wheel of his bicycle cave in with him, throwing him to the ground
 and severely injuring him.
 Mrs Connors and two daughters visited friends in town last evening. The train due here last evening at 9:12 did not arrive until $40 last even ing owing to the late arrival of the New York train to Waterbury. Yesterday was the hottest day we
 have had thus far, the mercury regis tered 90 in the shade.

Latimer, Dead From wounds.

NEW YORK, July 1o.-Albert C.. Latimer, the stationer of this city who was shot, it is supposed, by burglar at his residence i'll Brooklyn, died in a hospital last night. The shooting took place a week ago at ? o'clock in the morning. Mir. Latimer died without being able to make a connected state ment as to the visit of the burglar. Mrs. Latimer told how her husband grappled with the intruder and was shot. After the shooting a bicycle lamp, pair of felt soled shoes and a cap were found ill the room, but the police have been unable to find any trace of the burglar. Mrs. Latimer is in the same hospital in which her hus- band died and is said to be very ill as a result of the shock of seeing her hus- band shot down.

Ferdinand de Lesseps, the "ereaa


 @Essal AID, indeed, were the closing M<AN years of the life of M. Ferdl. W1eseSN nand de Lesseps, his old age SESSsNlA not given over to peace and NS4s5a the wearing of well-earned hon VssssaS ors; but in reality a period
 when failure and disgrace en- compassed him. This man. known far and wide as the Great Frenchman, in his eighty-eighth year was arrested as crim- inal and summoned to appear at the bar ot the court of appeals. This the crime laid at his door-haying, 'tby employing fraud ulent maneuvers to induce belief ln the existence of chimerical event and an imaginary credit, dissipated sums derived from issues of loans which had been ob- tained for specified use and employment, and of having swindled the whole or part of the fortunes of others"
 It was a veritable Hurricane of fury that swept across the path of M. de Les eeps, bowed with the weight of almost four-score-and-ten years, unable to cope with detraetors A sad finale, indeed, for one whose past. had been full of honors. What comfort then to think on that past :! his splendid monument, the Suez canal; his Grands Cross of the Legion of Honor. his seat in the. Academy-all the tribute- his genius had adsdeserved?
 And yet, and yet, perhaps the judgment and wrath, too, were deserved. A diplo- matic genius is not necessarily hnancier, and should not too readily undertake the manipulation of vast sums of other peo- ple's moneys. Borrowing money on a 4d per cent bonus cannot go on forever, even the most ignorant must recognize.
 In 1893 he was sentenced to fine and

Twenty Thousand Visitors at Minne-

:"
 ap0Iis Convention.
 MINNEAPOLIS, July 10.-High wa ter mark in the attendance at the Ma tional Educational association conven- tion has probably been reached, and it Is also undoubtedly the record for numbers present at any meeting of the association yet held. A conservative estimate places the number of visit ors in the city at considerably more than 10000.
 Each of the fifteen meetings yester- day was well attended. Nearly every department of the association has held meeting, and the real work of the convention proper is on i'll full blast. There will be thirteen meetings today, and tomorrow, when the convention will close, there will be twelve. Each is proving of unusual interest, and no unfavorable comment has been heard. {.

where the very Caesar of engineers mlgR1 have buried his hopes in the desert sands. In the accomplishment of building ot the Suez canal de Lesseps had for most val uaible ally, as is well known, his cousin, Empress Eugenie, then at the height of her power. Perhaps the Panama scheme would not have turned out so disastrous ly if the beautiful jealous royal relative had been able to exert her old influence.
 Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1879 was con sidered by the world at large as the great est of engineers, and the world at large had unbounded confidence in him. The Suez canal had exceeded the widest hopes in the way of financial returns; and when de Lesseps proposed an American canal, the route he favored was the one religious ly believed in.
 The cost of the construction of the canal was from the first greatly underestimated and the profits estimated at such magnitude that there was little difficulty encountered in founding the Compagnie Universelle du Canal Interoceanique de Panama. The capital of the company was 300, 100000 francs, one-fourth of the estimated cost. The people were eager to buy shares, which sold at only 800 francs each, and all classes contributed, the peasant being especially to the fore "In fact, 1t has often been said that the money sunk by the company was drawn from the stocking of the French peasant proprietor.

 Panama as Suez parallel was from the first absurd. Along the Suez route the climate was dry and healthful, the coun- try fiat, labor cheap while the Panama route lay through wet, hot, deadly coun- l trv. where labor could not be obtained OF
