VIOLENCE OF A CYCLONE.
Stamford, CT, Swept by Storm and
Heavy Damage Done.

Stamford, Conn.,. Aug. ga storm
of almost cyclonic force passed over
the center of this city, between and
b O'Clock this afternoon, causing much
damage. Hundreds of trees on resi-
Dental streets were blown over, while
electric wires were tangled and several
sheds unroofed.
South street, which is one of the
finest residential streets, is filed for
distance of three blocks with wreck
age, caused by falling tree trunks. In
Atlantic street, the main thoroughfare
from Main street to the railroad sta
ton, many trees are down, while other
streets In the neighborhood of the sta
tion also bear marks of the passing
of the storm. On account of broken
wires the trolley system is partially
crippled, and the entire center of the
city and most of the outskirts are in
darkness.
Hundreds of men are at work in
the streets within the path of the tor
nado, clearing away the wreckage and
endeavoring to strafghten out the tan
gle of wires. 1t Is estimated that the
path of the most violent portion of
the storm was nearly mile wide,
and the damage will foot up to many
thousands of dollars. Fortunately no
persons We're injured. The storm al
so was severe at Danbury and other
cities, BUT the damage was not heavy.

THE STORY OF FATHER JOHNS

tised-all with the approval and sane
ton of Reverend Father O'Brien, be-
cause he knew of its merit and desired
that all who were ailing might benefit
by it's power to cure.
This old fashioned wholesome RENEE
dy is unequalled as body builder and
tonic. 1t restores health and strength
to all run down systems. Its gentle
laxative effect strengthens the stom-
ach and corrects the digestion. 1t
drives out all impurities. 1t is food
medicine and contains only pure nour-
ishment. 1t is not a patent medicine,
and it is free from opium, morphine or
poisonous drugs in any form, which
are found in the majority of patent
preparations.
While it is not cough syrup" or
"balsam," nothing equals this IRE
scription for coughs, colds, bron-
chitis asthma, consumption, and all
throat and lung troubles. 1t has a
most soothing and healing effect, and
at the same time builds up the body
and makes strength.
We have permission to refer to the
Sisters Superior at the following
Homes and Hospitals where Father
Johns Medicine is in use: Sisters of
Charity, st. Johns Hospital, Lowell,
Mass, Notre Dame de Lourdes hos
pital, Manchester, N. H., Sisters of
Mercy, st. Patricks Orphanage, Man.
chester, N. H., and many others, the
names of which we shall be pleased to
furnish upon application. When you
ask your druggist for Father Johns
Medicine, remember that the 81 bottles
contain three times the quantity of the
50-cent size.

where outdoor drills were conducted with
the same detail and precision as though
the men were on holiday parade instead
of tramping about, heavily uniformed and
armed most of the time in heavy

in tents suffered much inconvenience even
when in quarters. Tonight the search

Masters work in st. Patrick's Parish.
In 1854, Father John as he was fondly
known to his people, was attacked with
serious cold which, developing into a
stubborn cough and affiiction of the
lungs, caused the greatest alarm for the
health of the beloved clergyman.
/ Medical skill seemed unable to stay
the progress of the disease. Finally,
an Eminent Specialist was consulted
who gave Father John a prescription to
cure the cold and remove the lung
trouble, as well as to build up and
strengthen the body. The Clergyman
took the prescription to the old drug
store of Carleton & Hovey Lowell.

Medicine is prepared. The cough soon
disappeared and his people rejoiced
when he declared that he had been

Father John recommended the med

and thousands were made well and
strong by taking it. In getting this
prescription they always called for

Did they get it?
Well rather.
Bosco. the original snake eater. who
chcws EN- up alive and bites EN-. cause
they bite him. proved to be a draw
ing card. All the folks wanted to see
what he did to the snakes and what
the snakes did to him. In consequence
of this curiosity the tent in which he
was holding forth. was filed all day.
1t scarcely seems possible that any
woman could have such Il morbid trait
in her makeup as to wish to see an
exhibition of this kind. Yet there were
scores of them who went into the tent.

what they had seen in an animated
manner and wondered if he really did
eat them, and If the snakes were truly
such.
Just which was the most disgusting.
the thought that n human being could
become so depraved as to eat reptiles.
or that a woman. entitled to be called
by that name. should be in such Il
condition of mind that she would want
to see it, it is hard to say. Certain
it is. that both are very much de-
PRAYED and will make anyone shudder
at the thought of being classed in with
them.
But still they win do it,
And there was Fan, the gorilla girl.
She proved to be good drawing card.
Fan, according to the truthful barker
and the painting over her establish
ment. was captured by sailors on some
wild Pacific island. These sailors We're
dressed in the regular blue uniform
of u Yankee jack tar. And that causes
one to wonder why it is that all of
these remarkable beings are captured
by sailors in blue uniforms. armed
with short swords and old-fashioned
pistols. who Seem to be doing horn
pipe on the turf, while engaged in the
capture. OF course. it is all true to
life, for the barkers say so, and they
wouldn't draw on their imaginations.
Oh, no. not a bit.
Still strange it is. that these strange
reaks of nature are captured by mem
of-warsmen, for they are the only sail
ors who wear the regulation blue uni
form, as anyone, who's hit the, game,
well knows, and that there are no rec
ords anywhere of the capture. But
again, we must not doubt, even though
these little things do seem strange. for
