Piucky Flight OF q Rhode Island Minister
Against the Misery and DIS
tress Of Disease.
VICTORY AFTER YEARS

1t Is sad 70 see a man In the prime OF
life losing courage and hope, When his
vigor and usefulness should be greatest,
he is a disappointment to his friends and
TO himself. Knowing no longer the Joy
of ambition, misery and dependency are
his daily companions. He Is wreck In
body and mind--a pitiful, middle-aged
wreck.
He belongs to the great American army
Of dyspeptics. Once his eyes sparkled
with energy and health; his appetite and
slumbers were like a boys. Now his
stomach is affected. hts liver is torpid
and his head aches almost continually.
Biliiousness. bowel complaint heartburn
and natuiency are some of his affiictions.
To eat means misery and 10 refrain from
food Is long drawn out agony. The weak
seek the solace OF drugs or the forget
fulness OF death. But the strong, fight
ing bravely against the terrible depres-
sion OF mind and body. seek cure.

OLNEYv|LLE.

There Is an old estate on McDonough
street, east OF Huntington avenue, that
is slowly. but surely. fading away, and
unless the courts appoint some one to
watch IT, there will be nothing left but
the cellar In a short time.
The house is owned by a number OF
heirs and the estate is in such a tangled
condition that 1t was necessary to apply
TO the courts TO straighten matters out,
and now no one owns IL.
There is one house on the land that is
In fairly good condition and this is oc-
cupied by four families, neither OF whom
pay any rent and have not for more than
one year.
The other house Is past being tenanted,
and naturally the glass in the windows
went first, for this was fun for the 4ooys.
Then some went into the cellar and
ripped out all OF the partitions and day
by day, or at least night by night, a por-
tion OF the cellar stairs were taken. then
the doors and then the partitions In the
attics. then all OF the partitions I'm the up
per rooms, then in the lower floor and
yesterday a large number OF clapboards
were taken from the rear end OF the
building and II Is presumed that more
will go this evening and finally the build
ing will be stripped and there Is no one to
stop the work OF destruction and now that
wood Is high causes the work OF destruc-
tion TO go on much faster. than IL fuel
was at It's normal price. There Is nothing
that the police can do in the matter for
until the court decides or appoints some
one TO take charge OF the property IL be-
longs to any one who cares TO help him

WANT FANCY PRICES.
That the coal dealers have a strong de-
sire 10 get rid of their soft coal at fancy
prices was demonstrated yesterday for
one OF the largest merchants In the place
received letter from a large coal firm
asking the head of the concern to give
them A. call This was done. and n coal
company offered to put In a supply OF
soft coal at a much reduced rate, but /
would take hard coal. Now this concern |
has been selling hard coal at N2 but |
would sell him one ton for $40 and for |
some time this same concern has had no |
hard coal TO sell; SO the oineyvlle man |
came TO the conclusion that the company
would only be too happy to sell all OF It's
supply at the present rate.
LIKE FINDING MONEY.
A well known resident OF the annexed /
district was somewhat surprised To oe
yesterday by downtown firm
that lac was entitled to one ton OF coal.
for three years ago he had purchased his
winters supply at s5.25 per ton. ana the
firm. in looking over his account four)
that they had not sent him his last ton,
and they informed him that he could

as ne had neither wood nor coal. was not

could not get IL odt TO his house too

only ton OF hard coal brought into the
annexed district for a year at $525 per
ton.

THE ACADEMY ENTERTAINMENT
A NOTABLE SUCCESS.

That the interest in the Academy
has not died out was shown by the
large and representative audience
present at the closing entertainment
on Friday evening. In addition to
large representation of the local peo-
pie, goodly number of the city
guests, were present. Southbury,
Woodbury., Stepney and Brookfield
were also represented in the audience.
The pupils of the Academy had done
excellent work in decorating, having
a screen of green at either side of the
stage, while the stage was decorated
to represent forest scene to give the
operetta a proper setting. BY the
time the audience was gathering signs
of thunder storm was noticed and by
the time the program was under way
the heavenly artillery was booming in
a fashion to startle nervous people,
necessitating the closing of windows
to shut out the driving rain. The
program opened with an amusing
farce, Gan Editorial Ink Drop" with
Edward Pitzschler as editor and Har-
ley Peck as "Pompey, the colored
Office boy, while Lloyd Barker, Erwin
Mott, Frank Martindel and Phillips
Morris made their debut as actors.
Miss Essie Lohr of Bridgeport gave
two recitations, showing marked abil-
ity for one of her age. Miss Maud
Adds of Danbury, soloist OF pleas
ing voice, sang one selection but re.
fused to respond to the clamorous "en-
core. The operetta, "a Merry Com
pany," was presented with spirit, the
young people entering heartily into
their work. The cast was made up as
follows: "Little Old Man," Howland
Clark; "Little Old Q Woman," Miss
Loretta Houlihan; Policemen, Will
liam Dayton and Joseph Bradley
Captain Of the Cadets, Cecil Wright
Cadets, William Belts, Charles Brad
ley, Fred Brown, Guy Brown, Morris

schler, Rodney Shepard; Girls, Misses
Eleanor Northrop, Pearl Parsons
Anna May Belts, Helen Brakeman
Kate Honan, May Hoyt, Lilliar
Mott,. Ethel Peck. Miss Houlihan
Howland Clark and Cecil Wrigh
in the leading roles did partic
ularly well, while the policemen
looked like true members of the met
ropolitan force. "They knew thei
business Following the entertain
ment, dancing was enjoyed, the youni
people being unmindful of the flashing
of the lightning and the thunder
roar in the pleasures Of the mazes o
the dance. The success of the enter
tainment was largely due TO the un
firing efforts of Principal w. W
| Gardner.

Mr. and Mrs William J. Beecher
threw open their hospitable doors to
the small children of Newtown on
Thursday afternoon, June IL, 1902.
The little daughters OF the house,
Florence and Marguerite, daisy-crown-
ed, received their guests in the red
parlor. The wee ones could just tod
die up to their small hostess with
their gifts and lisp her name. Games
on the lawn were enjoyed. A few of
the older people forgetting years and
dignity entered with zest into the fun,
a tisket tasket, a green and yellow
basket, French blind mans buff and
the old but ever new Little Sally Wa
ters. At sunset the call to supper
came and the stately dining room was
bright with the sweet faces OF the
children. AS they we're grouped
around the rose laden table the sight
was one long to be remembered. Mrs
Otis w. Barker presented the birth
day cake, a dainty affair in pink and
white, the dates outlined in pink trac-
cry and the candles shedding their soft
light from pink rose sockets. Merry
laughter and happy words flew around
the table. The children looked like
vast bouquet themselves. The privi-
lege Of blowing out the candles was re-
served for the smaller ones, after Mar
guerite had blown out the one to grow
on, then the ceremony of cutting the
cake and the surprise of finding a tiny
dolly for each child in the sweets.
After supper the contest for the prizes
began, in adjusting the necktie OF a
swinging dude. He smiled benignly
as the children blindfolded pinned a
necktie anywhere from the shoulder
up to his chin. The first prizes were
won by Helen Allen and Lloyd Barker.
The girls prize was single candela-
bra with pink shade, the boys a pretty
water sketch framed in ebony. The
second prizes were won by Loretta
Hayes and Fred Hayes, the girls be-
ing a cup and saucer; the boys, fancy
box of chocolates. The BOBBY prizes
were given to Marion Carter, a pink
box Of bon bons and to Ray Clark also
a pink bon bon box Of candy, Tired
but happy the children said good
night and Marguerite's birthday party
will not soon be forgotten.1[CoraA A.

Merchant R. H. Beers has novelty
in his store in 'Sparklets," which are
steel valveless capsules, filed with
pure carbonic acid gas, condensed to
liquefaction under heavy pressure. By
an ingenious and simple arrangement
the gas is liberated from the capsules
into special bottle, returns to the
gaseous state, and instantly charges
any cold beverage to the point of sat-
uration. The aeration Of beverages
by this method is an easy matter. 1t
is done by filling the bottle with the
desired drink, inserting a Sparklet in
the top Of the stopper and piercing it
by screwing on the wing nut. The
contents can be syphoned off after a
moment of brish shaking. The cham
pagne Of the well-to-do, and the beer
and soda water of the less fortunate,
owe their snap and sparkle to the
presence of a gas, which is not only
harmless, but on the contrary, of
great and positive value for the main
tenance and restoration of health.
The constant prescription of it by
medical men proves this. BY the use
Of "Sparklets, it will be possible for
any family to have soda fountain
constantly on hand in the family ice
chest and serve any kind of cooling
drinks desired. Mr. Beers says the
bottle costs only 50, while the carbon
lied capsules cost but a few cents pei
