The true story of how the quar-
antine on San Antonio was raised
has just come to light. Early on the
morning of Nov. 18th the following
telegram, signed "San Antonio"
was sent to DIR. Tabor:
Oh, Dr. Tabor, turn US loose,
We've got no money, but good excuse.
Maj Allen Buell., who knows it all,
Says Mr.. Mercury has had great fall.
The tempe allure has dropped to thirty
one,
And now Mr.. Skeeter's dirty work
is done.
The quarantine was raised with

Brownsville is coming from that
old state of sleepiness that kept her
many years shut in from the out
side world, and is on the road to
prosperity. 1t has the Brownsville
Land and Irrigation Co., which
has been the leading spirit. Two
railroads are heading for Browns
vile in double quick time. We have
now about seven thousand acres
under cultivation in rice. Irrigation
is the key note to all this develop

manager of the Brownsville Land &
Irrigation Co., has been holding the
reins Of prosperity by having Or
ganized in short order a rice mill
ing company, with capital OF
$125,000. The building is now un-

finest mills in the country. 1t will

cashier. E. H. Goodrich, one of our
most enterprising citizens, will be
the president. The Saint Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico railroad is
heading for Brownsville, through
the center of the rice farms. Col.
Uriah Lott, its president and a rail-
road builder of many years exper-
fence in making cities of cattle
ranches, is one of the main leaders
in this enterprise. His work has al
ready brought fruit in the way of
having at least twenty new towns
now chartered on the route of his
road to Brownsville.
The artesian belt caught his eye.
The result is now that Brownsville
will have the iron horse in short
order, since the Colonel is now on
the move with his vast corps of en-
gineers. that are moving things as
fast rs money aud labor can he
coming of this road has brought the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railroad also in the field from
Alice to Brownsville. This road is
coming from a very rich section of
the valley. 1t strikes about thirty
miles above this city, and takes the
river down to Brownsville, among
farmers that will be only too glad
to ship their products by trainloads.
1t will have all it can carry in short
order. There will be in short while
one solid stretch of farms to Santa
Maria, where the S. A. and A. P.
intends to head for Brownsville.
Our land owners are now signing
the right of way to this road. 1t
will develop a rich and vast stretch
IF farming country, that will make
all of US smile all over. We can
then say, Here we go for the North
ern markets with our products in
quick order.
Our rice crop this year has been
a bumper for it's yield and quality.
The culture of rice is like any other
business, it takes elbow grease, ex-
perience and being on the ground
floor watching the farms and seeing
that everything is in running order.
Those that kept themselves on the
farms have made as high as thirty
one barrels to the acre. | consider
twelve barrels a general average on
the general result, which is a good
one, taking into consideration the
crop that is now before some
of our rice farmers and now harv-
esting. | know a friend that bought
a full rig for threshing at a cost of
81, 300 and is now smiling, with the
money ready to meet the full pay
ment of his outfit.
This certainly demonstrates that
rice is a money maker to those that
watch the crop growing. The canal
company furnished the water and
has today the equipment to furnish
water for 10000 acres of rice lands.
The plants of the Brownsville Land
and Irrigation Company are of the
best makes and modern improve
ments. Visitors from all sections
who have seen the works say that
the plant is something over what
they expected to see.
Another crop that is calling the
attention of many of our farmers is

President Lee complimented the members of the new enterprise com mittee for their earnest and able ef- forts to interest new concerns to locate in the city and pointed out the several very important concerns which had all ready begun business here.
 The matter of a railway up East or West Rock, which has caused much discussion in the past few months, was comemnted upon by President Lee and he expressed himself in favor of run ming an electric road to the top of West Rock. He said that it would be of inestimable advantage to many of the city's residents who do not pos sess teams of their own and who are in need of the fresh air and the life giving atmosphere which is to be found in the West Rock park. He said there was nothing there which would at- tract the rowdy element and that there would be no chance for the West Rock park to become another Savin Rock. He was of the opinion that a road could be very easily run to the top of the rock in such a, way that it would not destroy any of the beauty of the park and be much benefit to all. In conclusion he asked again for the hear ty cooperation of all.
 The matter of dredging Quinnipiack river between the Grand avenue and Ferry street bridges, which was brought up on petition signed by William W. Warner and other owners of abutting property, was referred to the commit tee on harbor with the recommenda- tion that the original plans of the gov- ernment to make a channel 200 feet wide and 12 feet deep be carried out.
 Most of the former standing commit tees were re-appointed, the principal ones being new enterprises, Colonel R. S. Woodruff, George H. Scranton, Ab- ner Hendee, J. A. Howarth, N. W. Kendall and Simeon J., Fox; harbor, Henry c, Rowe, N. D. Sperry, Herbert Mason, E. Harris Weaver, Charles H. Fisher, W. H. Seaver and c. l. Stod- dard; ways and means, W. S. Wells, Pierce N. Welch, J. D. DeweH, L. H. Freedman, L. Wheeler Beecher, E. S. Greeley and Augustus H. Kimberly; municipal affairs, r. B. Farnsworth, I. M. Ullman, E. c. Chatfield, George D. Watrous, Harry w. Asher, D. G. Car michael and George r. Burgess.
 It was announced that Henry B. Sar- gent could not accept the position of second vice president and Joseph Porter was elected in his stead. George A. Bassett was elected to the directorate.

Governor the First oft Distinguished ed Visitors 10 Arrive
 New London, April Ex-Governor Abiram Chamberlain is the first of dis tinguished visitors to arrive here for the ceremonies incidental to the launch ing of the steamship Minnesota to- morrow. He reached here on the Col onial Express this evening at o'clock, accompanied by Representative Will liam B. Colt, whose guest he will be during his stay here. Governor Cham berlain was rendered a reception at the Thames club tonight, followed by 6 luncheon.
 Every hotel in the city is crowded to capacity tonight with prospective launching spectators and about every other household has visitors from dis tant points. Tomorrow, it is expected that fully 25,0O0 strangers will be in the city. .~. .-
 Steamship Minnesota sets on her launching ways tonight almost ready for her maiden dip into the Thames. The huge vessel has been wedged up and most of the keel blocks, heavy timbers and shores removed from un- der her. Tomorrow morning the re- maining blocking about the dog shores or triggers, as they are styled by the shipbuiiders. will be removed, and the vessel will be held fast by a hundred bolts which bind the bed ways and the sliding ways. The final act consists of the saving in two of the sliding ways below the bolts. In the event of the vessel not moving when the ways are sawed, hydraulic jacks will be resorted to, to gradually raise the bow until she begins to slide.
 Grand stands are erected and stand grim and bare tonight but ready for the thousands who are expected to oc- cupy them tomorrow. The con- manding officer of Fort Trumbull, di- rectly opposite the shipyards, has granted hundreds of passes and from this historic height the best view of the launching will be had.
 Every eye is turned skyward looking for correct indication of to-morrow's weather. Local weather prognostica- tors predict clearing weather with wes- terly winds, which will prove an ad- mirable condition.

 QUIT AND EAT.
Some Coffee Tales.

Show a woman an easy. comfortable and healthful way to improve her com plexion and she is naturally interested.
 Coffee is the one greatest enemy of fair women, for in the most of cases it directly affects the stomach producing slight, and sometimes great congestion of the liver and therefore causing the bile to be absorbed into the system in- stead Of going its natural way. The result is sallow. muddy skin and a train of diseases of the different organs of the body which, in all too many cases, develop into chronic diseases.
 A lady speaking of how coffee affected her says. 1T was very fond of coffee but while drinking it was under the care of the doctor most of the time for liver trouble, and was compelled to take blue mass great deal of the time. My complexion was bad and I had a pain in my side steadily. probably in the liver.
 When I concluded to quit coffee and take Postum Food Coffee I had it made carefully and from the very first cup we liked the taste of it better than any of the old coffee.
 
 and my friends began to comment on the change in my complexion and gen. eral looks. I have never seen anything equal to the good I got from making this change.
 "A young lawyer in Philadelphia named -. whose life was almost burden from indigestion and its train of evils. quit coffee some months ago and began on Postum Food Coffee. He quickly recovered and is now well, strong and cheerful and naturally loud in his praises Of postum.
 Another friend, an old gentleman of seventy, named --, who for years suffered all one could suffer and live, from dyspepsia, and who sometimes for weeks could eat no bread or solid food. only a little weak gruel or milk. quit coffee upon my recommendation and took up Postum. He began to get bet ter at once. Now he can eat rjcn pastry or whatever he likes best and is per- fectly we'll"

roal being elected to the board at the annual meeting October IS, 1893, and a director of the Second National bank
 of this city. He also organized the
 Arethusa Spring Water company of
 Seymour.
 MT. French was one of the most pub
 lic-spirited citizens of the town of Sey-
 mour, and he did much toward making it a manufacturing center. He built the Humphreys block, one of the largest in the town, in 1S91 was liberal SUD- porter of the Seymour public library, and recently gave public park of four teen acres to his native town. His career in public life embraced two elections to the legislature, in 1860 and 1868, and to the Fiftieth congress of the
 United States. In his public life he was extremely
 modest and unassuming, and made
 many lasting friendships among prom inent men in either political party,
 though he was at all times staunch democrat.
 He served his constituents with cred 1t, but declined a renomination to con-
 gress, although he later served as a. member of the democratic national
 committee from Connecticut.
 MT. French was married April 30, 1863,
 to Julia H. Thompson, of New Milford, and had two children, Carlotta, deceas- ed, and Raymond T., graduate of the
 Sheffield Scientific school.
 MT. French in business was energetic and industrious and intelligent to a
 marked degree; he possessed great mechanical skill and inventive talent of superior order, which he utilized suc- cessfully. Added to these qualities were his plain habits of life and speech, his integrity and interest in those associat- ed with him and in the community at large, which mad him not only suc- cessful man, but also one most honored by all who knew him.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Death of congressman Carlos
 French.

Carlos French, one of f'the best known citizens of the state,l died suddenly from heart disease Tuesday night at his home in Seymour at the age of sixty eight years. He was identified with several large industrial concerns, and had served, the deniocratic party, the state and the nation faithfully-for two terms in the legislature, as member of the Fiftieth congress of the United States and as a national committeeman from Connecticut.
 His death was unexpected and came as great shock to his relatives and many friends. For a man of his years he was apparently in good health and had many years of usefulness before him. His sudden death has deprived the state of one of its most energetic and progressive citizens, who will be sincerely mourned.
 Carlos French was born at Humph- reysville, now Seymour, August 6, 1885. He received his early education at the public schools at Seymour and also att tended for four years the military acad- emy of General Russell, which was To- cated near what is now Wooster square in this city. He assisted in his fathers business, the Humphreysville Manu- featuring company, until 1859, when he went into the manufacturing business on his own account and was very suc- cessful. He was one of the incorpora- tors of the American Railway Splice company, organized in 1862, which man. ufactured devices pertaining to rail- roads. Later he invented steel car spring, which he put on the market with success.
 In recent years he had become iden- tified with other large concerns, among them the Fowler Nail company of Sey- mour of which he was president and treasurer; the Union Horse Nail com pany of Chicago, and the New England Transportation company of this city. He was also a director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail-

 SESSION TO-DAY
 To get the sense of the house Mir. Banks of Fairfield moved that when the house ad. Journed it adjourn until Tuesday next, ex- plaining that many members desired to at tend the launching at New London to-day. He himself, he explained, was opposed to the motion. The motion caused considerable discussion, a number of members express ing themselves as in it's favor, while others pointed to the rapidly accumulating bush ness as a reason why the house should take no unnecessary vacations. Mir. Connor of Enfield offered substitute making the ad- journment to Friday. When vote was taken both motions were lost and the ses. sion will be held to-day as usual
 .sA IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL BILL.
 The principal of state aid for town schools was discussed at length when house bill 2O9, providing such aid, was reached. The bill provides that every town having valua- tion of less than $500,00 may annually re- ceiVe from the treasurer of the state sum which will enable the town to annually ex- pend for the support of public schools $25 for each child in average attendance, pro- vided that pigments of principal or interest on indebtedness, the expense of new build. ings, etc., shall not be included in obtaining the cost of each scholar in average attend, ance and that the state aid shall be expend ed only for teachers wages.
