HUNGARY IN CANADA
A Settlement That's Takes One
 Back to the Fatherland.
Its People, Its Customs, It's Buildings Are All of the old World History of the Place and
 It's Inhabitants.

Esterhaz is a bit of old Hungary, with its customs of a thousand years set down in the very midst of the great northwest territory of Assiniboia,, Canada. It is situated we'll north of North Dakota and near the Manitoba frontier. The nearest railway station is Whitehead, 25 miles to the south, on the Canadian Pacific line. Unlike other foreign settlements on this continent, the population of now more than a thousand has never felt to any extent the influences which make for the quick assimilation of foreigners. Only two or three times a year does the selling of produce or the buying of supplies bring its people into contact with the outside world. It is seldom that stran- gers visit the settlement. It thus hap pens that the peculiar customs and habits of the homeland have been kept without change. Even the church and the schools are such as may be seen in the old country.
 Just IS years ago four Hungarian immigrants were exploring the Qu'Ap- belle valley when they discovered on the north fertile plateau, whose soil was largely of black mould very like that with which they were familiar in the famous Hungarian wheat fields of Banat. Forthwith they applied for and obtained the reservation of 125,0o0 acres of land to be settled by them selves and their countrymen. The mails carried the news back to friends

Tramps Are Becoming Nulsance Ill
 This Borough.
 A member of the tourists fraternity called at a house on South Main street last Saturday night and made himself obnoxious. The lady asked him If he wished something to eat, but he salo no and became so abusive that neighbor had to be called to eject him. Officer Malone was notified of the af- fair and later on in the evening arrest ed the offender near the trolley ternll- nus. There have been numerous com plaints made of late of the lnsults thrown out by these members or the never work army and in some cases they have become so bold as to order the owner of houses at which they happen to call, to get whatever thelr fancy suits. One of these 1nsuitlng yagabonds called at residence m Union City recently and asked Tor something to eat He was told Dy the lady of the house that she had nothing 10 give. "Well, you'd better get some thing d. quick" replied the tramp. The ladies' husband happened to be in af about this time and now somewhere nlor,o the ties of the Consolidated rail- road walks a weary Willie, his face all punched out of shape and both eyes blackened. The police have taken a hand in the matter and will land all such fellows in the lookup as fast as they arrive in this borough. After one or two have been sent to jail for long terms the others will give Naug- atuck a wide berth and thus rid the town of an unbearable nuisance.
 The members of the Star Whist club fourteenth number, attended the per formanee of the County Fair in Poli's theatet Saturday evening. They left her ja special bus and upon their re fuU enjoyed banquet at the Com msrcial hotel.
 Off1cer Malone received word from Waterbury early Sunday morning that man had boarded the o'clock train from that city carrying with him a suit of clothes belonging to a man who had fell asleep on the benches in the depot while waiting for a train. The man who stole the clothes had a ticket to Naugatuck. Search was made for the fellow, but 1t was learned that he had got off at Union City Nothing Of the missing man or the goods have yet been found.
 The Naugatuck A. c. basketball team will go to Waterbury this evening to play return game with the Go A sheam. The game will be played in the armory.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy.

Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy.
 "When I had an attack or the grip last winter (the second one) actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank " Perry, editor of the Enterprise. Shortsyille, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon f11l of this remedy and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take a dose. and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and Its ac- conpanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable sur prise Is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that 1t would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had nev- CT tried 1t for such purpose, but 1t did. and 1t seemed with the second at tack of coughing the remedy caused 1t not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had hot used the contents of one bottle be- Rre Mr Grip had bid me adieu For

DANGER OF COLDS AND GRIP.

The greatest danger from colds and grip Is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ta- ken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it IS a certain pre- ventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure d cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treat ment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

and relatives at home, with the result that the next year 35 families, 150 per- sons all told, made their way thither. Each got a farm of 160 acres upon pay ing to the Canadian government, the entry fee of $1o. Then began the fight with nature that the new soil might yield to the newcomer the living to which they were entitled. But the inn migrants were inexperienced and little knew how to avail themsel of the natural advantages of their surround ings. Extraordinary suffering ensued, and the first winter saw many deaths in the settlement. But they persevered and gradually their lot became easier and finally prosperity smiled. Out of the grant of 125, ,oOO acres, 10000 have been taken up and 14, 900 fenced and un- der cultivation. Most of the housesare made of logs and plaster and are one, story in height, but all are neat and cozy.
 The settlement has a Roman ,Catho- lie church and a stone parochial house, which is the finest in the settlement, a post office and two schoolhouses The dominion pays two-thirds of the teach ers' salaries and the colonists the re- mainder.
 The church furnishes the center for what social life there is. Heretofore the settlers have lived at considerable distances from each other, but now they are planning a village in one part of the colony near the new railroad branch which is being built. In their village they intend to live during the severe weather, returning to their farms in the early spring.
 Most of the Hungarians who come to the settlement start with scarcely q cent, working at first as farmhands.

An interesting feature of the re- construction of the cruiser Baltimore, which is now under way at the New York navy yard, is the introduction of steel furniture throughout the ship, thus almost completely excluding the use of wood and greatly reducing the danger of fire and injury from splinters in time of action.-N.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 18TH stock market
was again subjected to sever selling pres
sure today under the impulse of the same
motives as have prompted the selling Tor
the two days previous. The pressure upon
New York Central was the most con-
spicuous feature of the market and car
ried the price down to eleven and three
quarters, an extreme decline from yes
terday of four and one-halt, and from last
week of eleven and thr~ee-Quarters. The
attack upon the market was obviously III
professional hands but it was equally cyl
dent that the bear tactlcS were based
upon knowledge or conviction ot the ex-
istence of large orders to llquldate IN the
market. Beyond the unshaken convection
of the necessity of an early increase Ia
New York Central capital issues, there
was no immediate news to account for the
general decline and it seemed to be based
as much as anything on a general belief
that an adjustment OF the price level
of securities must be made to conform to
new conditions in the money market and
Industrial affairs before any real demand
for securities can be attracted. The re
newed weakness of Pennsylvania and its
break through the previous protected
minimum at 1.23 to 1.21 SIS had almost
az much effect on speculative sentiment
as the slump in New York Central. st.
Paul's drop to LA Il was of almost
equal influence. These stocks as we'll as

held.
