was a pretty cut glass bon bon dish.

take, We all now agree that it would have been
better for the city to have adopted city ownership in

is to buy the plant, We could not steal it, if we

To vote against city ownership now simply
means that the private corporation is to be allowed

Bridgeport's army of workingmen never had proper attention given to the providing of their work-a-day clothes until Meigs & Go. moved into their big store at Main street and Fairfield avenue and opened their basement salesroom. With plenty of room in their new quarters, this firm decided to give the workingman's clothing needs adequate space. As a result you find today most complete store downstairs devoted to wears for every trade and occupation, aprons for mechanics, painters, walters, bartend- CTS, butchers; coats for grocers, butch CTS, barbers, walters, drivers; overalls and jumpers, working shirts, flannel shirts, rubber coats for motormen and conductors, tiremen and policemen. Indeed, this department is quite a store in itself, to which every..working- man may look, confident of finding the best union-made wears for his work that can be made. In the main DOT tion of Meigs & Co.'s store all other clothes needs of all men are provided for literally, both as to quality and quantity, and from head to foot.

TRIBUTE TO REV J. P. HOYT.
FROM FORMER SHERMAN FRIEND

Sherman, Conn.,,
 February 15, 1904.
 To the Editor of THE BEE: noticed in last weeks BEE this: "WhO is post ed on the Bible?" You quoted two passages from the Bible relating to cold weather, asking how many Sun day school scholars could tell where the words were to be found. The words are to be found in Psalm 147: 16-17. Your quotation brought to my mind a sermon by Rev J. P. Hoyt, well re- membered and much loved pastor here. The text was from the latter clause of the 17th verse, "Who can stand before His cold?" It was different from any thing had ever listened to, the sub- ject and the way it was handled. All who remember J. P. Hoyt as sermon izer can call to mind, perhaps, some sermon or sermons preached by him over 30 years since the ending of his faithful pastorate in this place. Many of his parishioners have passed on into the great Mystery, but there are few left who oft recall the forms and faces of himself and genial wife, so ready to do acts of Christian kindness. Re- spectfully,-[Mrs John c. Stuart.
 P. S.: After MT Hoyt left Sherman a colored woman remarked that we should never have in Sherman again a ,jroic ~rx,1, rx10y111 ely o01oro1 son to ride with him, but we have.

Dr.. David Kennedy's New Medicine Cured
 Him Promptly.

Constipation leads to worse. Often it is the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads to dangerous chronic disease. It should not be neglected, nor should it be tempor- arily relieved with drastic purgatives. Here is case in point:
 MT. c. s. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N Y., was distressed with indigestion, chronic constipation and kidney trouble for four years. He tried many medicines without relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's neao medicine, used it and began to improve rapidly. All of his old complaints have disappeared and he owes everything to Cal-cura Sol- vent.

SOCIAL TOPICS.
APPRECIATION.

| APPRECIATION.
 In response to my request in THE BEE of January 29, have received P communications. Some of them are letters which give me great comfort and deep satisfaction. Others are all that asked for, the simple statement that the writer, and others in some instances, had read the articles men, tioned. Of course I know that some of my neighbors and friends have read Social Topics, because they have said | so.
 The circulation of THE BEE of that l date was A. $50. It is estimated that three or four persons will, as a rule, read each copy. Therefore if the num- Der of communications received indi- cates the interest in Social Topics, they have not been popular reading, to say the least.
 l have been writing for THE BEE more than dozen years; and while l am not dying for lack of appreciation; I would like to know as matter of fact how many have read the articles referred to-. My request does not seem tmmodest nor unreasonable. It need not cost more than one cent, and few minutes time. I do not want the communications for publication nor for any commercial use. I have often wondered whether some of my brethren of the clergy do not read THE BEE in spots, and if any of them have looked over the Social Top ics. l also wonder why more of the prophets do not speak to the people in THE BEE and other public prints. A paragraph from the last sermon, now and then, might become very useful in the family paper. THE BEE opens the door of social service into wide field of personal influence. But not minister has spoken a word in reply to my request. Too busy, perhaps. By permission I make an extract from one of the letters promptly re- ceived; not so much on my own account as because it is good sermon on ap- preciation. "Rev and Dear Sir: You are preacher. lam plumber. You preach good sermon, the listeners go their way. No comment of praise or appreciation of the message greets your ear. do good piece of work in my line, the bill is paid and my custo- mer goes on his way. All is serene, but no words like apples of gold in pictures of silver are spoken. And the days and the weeks go on, each doing his best. But let one thoughtless sentence, or perhaps, one misunder- stood, escape your lips, or leaky joint develop, and how the charm is broken! Then the comments, of anything but praise, come quick, and thick, and fast.
 II have not the pleasure of your acquaintance. wish had. would tell you, face to face, how much I ap- preciate the articles that have read in THE BEE over your signature. Such sentiments, such lessons, such teaching cannot help but do good. It is the line upon line, precept upon pre- cept. would they were written in a book and by some magic pressed into the head and heart of every youth of our land. ."-[O. O. Wright, Sandy Hook Conn.,:

sANDERSON'S FERTILIZERS.
HIGH GRADE GOODS.

Sanderson's fertilizers have been up- on the market for the past 13 years. They are no experiment, for thousands have used them to their entire satis- faction. They are made of the highest grade materials, carefully compounded and proportioned to meet the demands of alli'crops grown. The agricultural value, the highest test, gives them the leading place in the field, while the ex- cellent condition the soil is left in af- ter cropping, proves these fertilizers to supply actual plant food to both crop and soil. They also supply elements beyond the requirements of law and aid all soils that are deficient in ash constituents to carry out their natural functions. They have agents in this and other towns that THE BEE reaches. Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook, are their agents here. If interested call upon their agents and talk the matter
