after this week on the Massabesio
track, and will have two motor cycles
here for that purpose.
The process of track building is be-
ing watched with eager interest by
many persons. Some 10000 feet of
strips are being used. They are placed
edge up, and are nailed to each other
crosswise so that not a nail appears on
the surface. The track is an up-to-
date affair, with a 30-degree pitch on
the stretch, gradually running into a
6-degree pitch in the ends. The term
stretch" is simply a traditional form,
however, for the track is elliptical in
shape and the sides present a curve
differing i'm degree only from the ends.

Inside the track and stationed only
fifteen feet apart, will be a row OF
1000 candle power arc lights which
will make the place as light as day.
Speaking about the size and pitch
of the track, Prince said: There
was a time when they thought they
had to have a half-mile track for
speed, but that's all gone. A cycle
race on a big track is fiat. What is
wanted to make cycle racing interest

land the curves and pitch are ar
ranged so that the boys will make
that time, because they are the out
growth of experience. A contractor
may be able to build a cathedral, but
unless he is a wheelman he can't build
a track. The whole thing has been
studied out, and to-day we are putting
up a track that gives the rider all he
wants in the way of speed, while it
offers every safety from wheel Slip

Weyman Harmon was equally prom

In the Georgia-Emory meet, in the
Georgia-Tech meet, on annual field day,
and at the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Association meet, he scored
many points for Georgia, in the dashes.
He is one of Georgia's fastest sprin-
tiers.
Harmon was Georgia's trusty half
back, and whenever it was do or die,
he was given the ball for the required
gain. He played in all the games of the
season, and was the speediest man be-
hind the line. In the Auburn Georgia
game, which is the one to which most
interest attaches, he distinguished him
self by scoring the winning touchdown.
He was one of the stars on the baseball
team, on which he played third base
and catch. Harmon was considered by
many the best all-around man in col
lege.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use, of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip), and it has been observ,
Ell that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from slight cold when
no danger is unprecedented until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that the pa
tient has pneumonia. Be on the safe
side and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold is contract
ed. It always cures. For sale by all
druggists.

FINDS POLYGAMY.

Rev. Mr.. Hutchins, Bible Society
Agent, Tells of Degeneracy in
Towns.
Rev. H. L. Hutchins, formerly pastor
Of Taylor church, Shelton avenue, and
now in the employ of the Connecticut
Bible society read paper yesterday
morning before the city pastors at a
meeting held in Center church chapel
on Religious Conditions in Connect
cut" Mr.. Hutchins has been making
a tour of the state. visiting small towns
and supplying Bibles to families in
need of them. He told of his observa-
tons in some parts of the state that
threw new light upon existing condi-
tons in Connecticut, and that rather
startled his hearers.
Mr.. Hutchins said that polygamy is
practiced in some towns over in the
eastern part of the state. In one home
he found a farmer living with eight
housekeepers, and some of them were
the mothers of his children. When the
fact was made known the selectmen
drove the farmer out, but he just
crossed over the line into Rhode Island,
on. The degeneracy of the inhabitants
of the town referred to was, he said,
productive of murder and crime, and in
proof of his statement he pointed out
several of the most atrocious crimes
that have ever been committed in the
state that took place in the section re-
ferred to. The people were an ignorant
lot and had no religious character.
Another feature of life in that sec
ton was the existence of an iiliterate
class that he called the poor whites"
These hewed the wood and carried the
water and performed all the iaborious
duties for the class above. Another
class of illiterates which Mr.. Hutchins
found in the state on his travels were
those he called the mountain whites
inhabiting the northwestern part of the
state, living in shacks, and sadly ig-
norant set Of people. Mr.. Hutchins
said that doubtless the inefflciency Of
the country school was in a large meas
IRE responsible for the existing evil.
The country schools, he said, in some
parts of the state were badly off.
School teachers who are paid five dol
lars week were paying farmers four
dollars a week for their board. He
found eleven men teaching school in the
country towns who received for the
compensation 1898 month, not much
more than farm laborers receive. AT
ter reviewing the conditions at length,
Mr., Hutchins concluded that the church
was not holding It's own and that there
was a problem for the church authori-
ties to work out to improve the condi-
tons.

Public Mass Meeting III MiddletoWn to
Favor 1t.
Middletown, Feb. ga public meet
ing is to be held here tomorrow night
in the interest of the proposed trolley
line from Hartford to New Haven by
way of this city.
The plan as proposed is a combina-
tion of the overhead trolley and the
third rail. A power house will be locat-
ed here and the Middletown Street rail-
way is the connecting link to the pro-
posed line.
The Hartford division would end near
the Catholic church at the upper end of
Main street, and the New Haven divis-
ion would commence at the end of the
present trolley line on the Durham
road.
The road will not run through the
highway, but through land condemned
by the road.
1t Is understood that the CONSOLIDATE
ed road will oppose the granting of a
charter, and the object of the meeting
here tomorrow is to arouse interest, if
possible in favor of the line, so that it
can secure sufficient advocates in the
legislature.

THE FRETTER,

Among the many things we meet,
Mid common things and better,
The most obnoxious to our sense
Is the frowning, chronic fretter.
There's ever something wrong with him
Or he expects there may be;
The world is hard and life Is dull;
Why he's not rich he can't see.
Hn frowns because his neighbor laughs,
"A proper thing is groaning;l
When midnight strikes it's solemn twelve,
Alas. the day is coming
at may bring poverty and strife
Who knows? And mayhap, sorrow;
Perhaps his Partner will skip town,
What trouble he does borrow.
The weather and the family,
His stocks and quoted prices
Are mixed in one continual growl,
With other peoples vices.
And so he frets and frets and frets,
Till friends and foes are praying
Some day that he may warm his thoughts
Where fretting is not dreaming.
"A. L. Langdon.
