The Whist Club bad their final
meeting last Friday evening There
were thirty two mem bers present and
very enic yable evening was passed.
1t is hoped that a club may be formed
earlier in the season next winter and
that the pleasant evenings passed
since the club was established may be
repeated. Whist is a good game and
doubtless if more people studied it
there would be less gossip going on
in the average community and people
would learn to think more and talk
less.

Meriden Architects Invention a Boon
 for Mechanics
 Architect HI NJ. Jones of this city in the shape of a mechanics pocket measuring rule, on which lle has been studying for several years.
 He has taken a cheap, common rule, and without increasing or diminishing its original size, weight, appearance or original usefulness, or convenience has produced rule that will give the length and levels of the ends of all kinds of braces or rafters.
 It will square off board or square and lay out a cellar. make an octagon or square miter. It will tell the height of any building or elevation, the depth of any valley or chasm, the width of any street, stream or both. Anchor a boat in the middle of river and the rule will tell how far it is from the shore, a roofer can tell the dimention of any roof while standing on the ground: it will measure any thing in sight whether in reach or not, it will give the length of any straight or slanting line. it solves all the prob lens in geometery and trigonometry the mechanic is ever called upon to solve. The improvement can be at- tached to all kinds of rules in use, whether of the French or English systems, to a new rule while making. One cent per rule will pay the cost Of the improvements per rule; to a rule already made it will cost two cents per rule. Meriden Journals

 The amount of the money order business transacted at the sub-postal station No 1, located in A. c. Walkers drug store, during the month of May, was the largest for any one month since the station was established near ly four years ago. The amount was S3,21O.4O The amount for the month of April was $3,126O4. An immense money order business is now done at this station. During the first year of it's establishment about $5,000 worth of business was transacted, while now about $30,00o worth of money orders is issued during the year. This is per haps the largest business transacted at any sub-postal station in the state.
 The foot path from Bank to Jew elry streets has been closed owing to the holding of the Continental carnival on the vacant lot on Bank street, through which lies the foot path. The loC mas been enclosed with a nlgn board fence, which is built right along the sidewalk. The proximity of the fence may cause the management of the show little trouble. Passers-by stand on the sidewalk and look through the holes in the fence to see what is going on within. The result is that traffic on the sidewalk is block ed. The police, so Chief Egan says, will not permit this and he has so in- formed the manager of the show. The latter has promised to put canvas over the fence and thus prevent any trouble.
 This warm and dry weather is apt to make persons dry and thirsty. When persons feel thus they should at once seek a remedy for the benefit of their health. The best remedy is those temperance drinks which are sold at A. c. Walkers drug store. Here the finest soda is sold. the best of fruit juices being used. The ice cream soda is delicious.

RAILROAD DEMURRAGE BILL.
The New Bill That Has Been Agreed

The New Bill That Has Been Agreed
 Upon By Railroad Committees.
 After many conferences in executive session the railroad committee on Tuesday afternoon finally presented road demurrage bill, on which largely attended hearings were held last month. The bill reported is a com promise measure, giving consigneen and shippers two free days and reQuir. ing for the next two days only the 20 cents per day which the Consolidated and other roads are compelled to pay the roads owning the delayed cars. An important feature of this bill is that it provides for better system of notices to consisnees and shippers--a matter which was strongly pressed upon the attention of the committee at the hear ings. Following is the text of the bill, which was tabled for the calendar and printing:
 Section 1. No company owning or operating railroad in this state shall claim, demand or collect from any shipper or consignee of merchandise or freight, any sum, damage or charge for the delay or detention of cars in AuohAhS VI dhlOddAA&b AoA dAe PClAOA S& less than forty eight consecutive hours. Sundays and legal holidays excluded. For each Of the next two succeeding periods of twenty-four hours such charge for demurrage shall not exceed 20 cents.
 Section ?. The period of detention of a car shall not, for the purpose of this statute, begin to be computed until such car becomes accessible to the shipper or consignee for loading or un. loading; nor as against the consignee shall such period begin to be computs ed until there has been deposited in the postoffice, postage paid. a notice, addressed to such consignee. of the ar- rival of such merchandise or freight, or else by some means other than the United States mail the consignee or his agent has been informed of the arrival of such merchandise or freight.
 Section 3. Section 3,774 of the gen. eral statutes is hereby repealed, Section 4. This act shall take effect from it's passage.
