 Joseph Rivers and the Shelvey brothers, contortionists, will appear at an indoor circus in Meriden this week. Next week they will appear in New Haven. Last week they did their act at the indoor circus given by the Gov ernor's Foot Guards. Both Rivers and the Shelvey brothers are receiving great praise and are scoring hit wherever they appear.
 Numerous coyies of quail have been seen on the outskirts of Brooklyn during the past few days. The quail will starve unless some one feeds them until the snoW disappears, when they will be able to get food for themselves. Deputy Game Warden William H.. Regan, 1926 Bank street, has interest cd himself in the matter. He thinks that there is number of lovers of hunting in this city who would be pleased to furnish food fer the quail, sc that they will not starve to death, provided some person will feed the birds. He has therefore taken upon himself tile task of feeding the birds. Any person who wishes to furnish feed to the birds may leave it at tho deputy game wardcn's home on Bank street. or if the person will send him a postal he will call after the food and will sec that it is distributed. Thus the birds will be saved and there will be au abundance of game for next season.

ISLANDER SUIT YESTERDAY.

Attorneys Russell and Kennedy Were
 Passing Out Compliments.
 The hearing of the islander suit of Bertha Foestch against Charles Latt- ner in the district court yesterday was quite stormy. Every once i'll while the contending counsel. Kennedy for fendant, would break out and the in- reference of Judge Cowell would be necessary. In the afternoon when the plaintiff was on the stand Attorney Russell made the bold statement that the woman lied. Immediately Attor- ney Kennedy was on his feet defend ing the veracity of his client, and the Way the lawyers .WenL Tor eacn oLn- sI one wouiu ,llIllk ,ncy llst,t a personal grievance MT Kennedy said in q long speech that no lawyer would say what MT Russell had said if he had the slightest feelings of q gentleman in him. MT Russell said that the law yers of the city were well able to take care of themselves and they knew what the feelings and the makeup of a gentleman were, and no lawyer from Naugatuck could give them points on the matter. MT Kennedy fired back that no matter where he came from, Naugatuck or not, he knew more than to tell witness on the stand that he lies. A lawyer should first be gentleman and should know better than to tell q witness he lies. So the fight went or and MT Russell had the woman on the stand. Some few minutes after this matter had quieted down MT Russell asked the woman some question about the time she had lived in Seymour. She smiled and Mir Kennedy objected on the ground that the question was irrel evant.

Official announcement was made yesterday that the directors of the F. x F. Corbin company and the Russell lG Erwin Manufacturing company of New Britain had come to an agree ment, which, when ratified by the stockholders of the two companies, will bring about consolidation of these two great manufacturing inter- ests The two companies, which have been for years the commercial bul- wark of New Britain, have been rivals for the past 30 years, being engaged in practically the same line of manu- facturing. Both have been successful, yet on account of the complications of general lines of business, it has been thought to be better for the stockhold- CTS of both concerns and for the gen eral manufacturing interests of New Britain to consolidate them un<ar one head and one management

AFTER FORTY YEARS.
Certificate of Deposit Lost in 1862 and
 Paid in 1902.


 Paid in 1902
 Deep River Feb 25.=For almost 10 years paper passed in banking oper- ations by a citizen of this town was mysteriously missing and no one could account for it's disappearance 1t came to light recently.
 In August 1862, the Deep River National bank gave. to Sidney k. Jones of this town certificate of deposit for S36, payable to the late William H. Goodspeed of East Haddam The death of Mir Goodspeed occurred 20 years later. The certificate had never been presented for payment and was supposed to be lost.
 One day last week it came to light among some old papers left by Mi Goodspeed The National bank of New England at East Haddam imme- diately communicated with the Deep River National bank and inquired if the certificate was still good and worth it's face value. Richard l.. Selden. IT cashier of the bank looked up the rec ord. found the document to be good and upon presentation it was paid.
 The bank officials say that had the sum represented by the certificate been in q savings bank and drawn in terest at the percentage allowed by such institutions during the time from 1862 up to the present, the sum total would be about S200.

Two Cream of Tartar Prescriptions
 Used in California and England
 The following cure and preventative of smallpox, which was printed i'll the DemUcrat q short time ago, no doubt will be read with interest just at this time when there is so much of the dis ease floating about. Here it is:
 A medical man in California says: "Place one ounce of cream of tartar in sixteen ounces of water, and take one tablespoonful three times each day for fifteen days, and one may sleep with smallpox patient with i'm munity."
 Another doctor says: Dissolve one ounce of cream of tartar in one pint of water, to be drank when cold at short intervals any time as T preven- tive, as well as q cure for smallpox. Hundreds have been cured by this without leaving q mark or causing blindneSS'

AN ARCTIC ROMANCE.
Life Story of a Woman of the Mos
NortherIy Indian Tribe.

Mrs. Chris Sonniksen has left San Jose
for Dawson City. She goes by way of
Nome. and thence up the river to the
northern Ell Dorado. The going of Mrs.
Sonniksen was not chronicled in society
events because she is full-blooded Chug-
Chi. the most northerly tribe of Indians
on the American continent. -~
Mrs. Sonniksen was never south of the
arctic circle until she married, and until
one year ago she was never out of the
Land of the Midnight Sun in her whole
thirty-eight years of life.
Mrs. Sonniksen was born in the extreme
northern end of the American continent.
She had many times been to Siberia had
HShed and hunted the seal and the walrus
in the Kamschatkan sea, but never until
she met Chris. Sonniksen, miner and for
tune-seeker. who left Denmark many
years ago, had she been as far south as
arctic circle. A year ago she came clear
out of the land of cold and ice to the sun
niest land on all the earth. She brought
the body of her dead husband to Watson
vile for burial. Afterward she took UT
her residence on Cinnabar street, in San
Jose. for the purpose of educating hel
children, who have been attending the
Longfellow school for the past four terms
Mrs. Sonniksen during her residence
here learned English. 1t was twelve years
ago that her husband left jacksonville and
San Jose for the north. He encountered
the luck of all fortune-seekers until the
gold strike on gravel claims was made al
Dawson City. He was one of the origina
locators of a claim Dominion creek
and when he died he left a fortune esti-
mated at 100000 to his squaw widow
1t was years previous to the Klondikt
excitement that Sonniksen met his wife
HI was then trapping and prospecting II
the very far north. A descendant of the
Norsemen, latitude had no scares for him
He spent winter at Point Barrow, an6
there began the courtship with the wo.
man who bore him his children and is now
managing his estate.
In the course of his career in the north
Sonniksen became impressed with the idea
that vegetables could be grown in the arc
tic regions. AS reward for his investiga-
lions. It may be said, a large vegetable
farm near Dawson City is among the
most valuable assets of the widow.
Mrs. Sonniksen experienced no difficulty
with the California climate. She was hale
and hearty throughout her residence here
and never for moment complained OF
her change of latitude. She expects to
return next year. and will then become
permanent resident. She leaves here two
children, who are attending school.-San

a great many of the soldiers quar-
