INVESTIGATING SPOTTED FEVER.
Government Physician Said to Have
 Made Valuable Discoveries.


 Made Valuable Discoveries.
 Dr. Charles W. Stiles, chief of the di- Ivision of zoology in the bureau of pub 1 lie health and marine hospital service lin Washington, a widely known medi- Ical expert. has been investigating the spotted fever epidemic in Montana at the request of the government officials. He has about completed his work, and lit is understood he has made some very valuable discoveries regarding the ori- gin and treatment of the disease. pr. Stiles is the son of Mrs. s. M. lStiles, of 143 Washington street, Hart ford, and he has a national reputation as a specialist. It will be remembered that he discovered the germ of lazi- |ness," which had been making such |ravages among the poor whites of the |south.
 Tn his investigation of spotted fever Dr. Stiles has been located at Missoula, Mont, and eighty per cent. of the cases that came under his observation there proved fatal.
 His letters to his mother speak most encouragingly of his work and hint at discoveries in relation to the disease which may prove of great value in suc- cessfully combating it's spread.
 Just what these are will not be known until his report to the govern |ment is filed. Medical men and the public generally will eagerly await this report,

lThe Live-on-Three-Cen -Cents-a-Day Man
 Beaten Out by New Haven Cereal Concern.
 lway whereby one can live for three cents day.
 This looks like money in the bank, but as a matter of fact it's all to the
 bad when compared with the plan of | the manufacturers of the succulent and nutritious health food-Ready Bits. According to the health food compa- Iny',s proposition, you can live for noth- l ing.
 | It takes a capital of fifteen cents to l start you off and sundry dollars to keep you going. But the dollars are to be ex- pended for shoes, merchandise, hard ware, etc., not for food.
 Here is the way you work it: With every fifteen-cent package of
 Ready Bits, the purchaser receives
 three coupons. Each of these coupons | is worth five cents and will be accepted
 for this amount by any one of a long list of merchants, shoe dealers, dry goods houses, hardware companies, etc., on every purchase of one dollars worth 1 of that company's goods.
 Therefore, ninety, five cents and one
 Ready Bits coupon will be accepted by lthe druggist for one dollars worth of medicine; one coupon and ninety-five lcents will get you full dollars worth | of hardware, and the last coupon with lninety-five cents, dollars worth of dry goods.
 So you get three dollars worth of ne-
 cessities for two dollars and eighty-five cents, thus getting back the fifteen cents that constituted your original Ready Bits investment. Then you try it again--buy fifteen cent package of Ready Bits and use
 the coupons as indicated.
 In this way you can live-if you live on Ready Bits exclusively costing you cent the year round.
 This offer of the Ready Bits company is surprisingly liberal one, and is att tracting a great deal of attention among the grocers and others handling this class of goods as well as among the consumers of cereals.
 The local merchants who are honor ing their coupons are as follows: J. A. Mckee, 930 Chapel street; S.H.
 Kirby & Son, s22 Chapel street; the
 Medicine shop. TIA Chapel street; the
 Hegel Furniture Co, 8 Church st; A. F. Wylie, crockery. s2l Chapel street; Charles H. Loomis, musical instru- Iments, SS3 Chapel street; Friend E. Brooks, 795 Chapel street; J. c. Cronan & Co.,, 6 Church street; Miss K. A. Fo- Hey, s19 Chapel street; George F. Quig- ley CO, 7sS Chapel street; M. Myers & Son, SS2 Chapel street; H. M. Hodges & Bro, 5 Broadway.

AN IMPORTANT SESSION.
Supreme Court Dealing With Many
 Interesting Cases

Supreme Court Dealing With Many
 Interesting Cases.
 About the most important court mat ter of interest to persons this week will be the arguments in the case of the state against Peter Kelly, which will be made before the supreme court, now in session at New Haven, on the de- fendant's appeal It is understood that the arguments will be made the latter part of the week, but just what day is not yet determined.
 Kelly, it will be recalled, was found guilty of murder in the second degree in causing the death of his wife by strychnine poison. The appeal is taken up on rulings of Judge George w. Wheeler in reference to the admission |of evidence in regard to the dead wo- mans alleged threats of suicide. The court ruled out remote times and con- fined the evidence on this line practi- cally to within year of the time of death. As the defense endeavored to make it out case of suicide it will be seen that the evidence was of some im- portance. Attorneys Stiles Judson and Edwin F. Hall will argue for the ap- pellant. States Attorney Samuel Fes- senden and Prosecutor John s. Pullman will appear for the state.
 In addition to this case the court will also hear the appeal of Charles H. Mrsh on the now famous taxation of costs in his case. It will be recalled that the costs figured up something around twenty-five hundred dollars and Marsh would be kept in jail much longer, even if he worked out only to the limit allowed by law. An appeal was taken, but Judge George w. Whee- Ter did not think he had Jurisdiction, and so the case goes to the highest tri- bunal
 The present session of the supreme court promises in many respects to be one of the most important held in years. There are three other cases of statewise importance to be argued. The principal one is the Norwalk division dispute. Then comes William Jennings Bryans appeal from the probate in the Bonnet will contest. Lastly there is the defendants appeal in the case of the state against Willis vandemark, a relic of the terrible Waterbury strike.

Meeting in Hartford-George 6. Whit ney Declines to Remain as Secretary New Officers EIected-Time of An
 nual Meeting Changed. The twenty-second annual meeting , of the Ex-Prisoners of War association of the state of Connecticut was held in Grand Army Hall in the Brown Thomson building, Hartford, Tuesday.

 There was quite a lively discussion over the election of officers for the en- suing year. It has been customary to promote the first president to be president. Some thought that the of ficers ought to be elected at large and that this custom of handling the offices down from year to year should be aban- doned. A ballot was taken and last years vice. president was elected presi- dent. The officers elected are:
 Presiadent-George Robbins, Water- bury.
 First vice-Pr President--George F. Dem ison, Hartford.
 Scond Vice -President-G George Glover, Windsor Locks.
 Secretary and Treasurer-C. A. Q. Norton, Hartford.
 George Q. Whitney, who has been secretary for the past ten years, de- clined to serve longer, saying he thought he had held the office long enough and that some of the members seemed to be dissatisfied with the way he had conducted the business of the association. Several efforts were made to have him retain the office, but he absolutely refused to do so under any conditions.
 The committee appointed last year to
 
 called upon to report. It was said they had not been able to do anything and were dismissed. A recess was then taken for dinner.
 Dinner was served in the hall to the members and invited guests At two o'clock they assembled for the after noon session. A eshort address was de- livered by Professor ]. J. McCook on Pictures From Memory" The other invited guests were Rev. Charles w. Mccormick, Rev. Dr. William H. Main and Rev. George L. Clark of Wethers- field.

Mayor Studley Makes Such Request to Civil Service Before Association.
 Mayor Studley a short time ago was asked in a communication from the New Haven Civil Service Reform association to investigate the affairs of the local civil service board, Charges were made against Samuel J. Well, as clerk of the board, stating he was inefficient for the position. Yesterday Mayor Studley sent the following communication to Profes- sor Henry W. Farnam, chairman of the committee of the association.
 New Haven, Conn.,, June IA, 1904. Professor Henry w. Farnam, Chairman Committee of the Connecticut Civil Service Reform Association:
 My dear MT. Farnam: In reply to a recent communication from your sub committee of the executive committee of the Connecticut Civil Service Reform association with regard to New Haven civil service commission permit me to say that after conference with the cor poration counsel, it seems to me that so far as your claim that examination for clerk was not held as promptly as 1t should have been, and as the rules of the board required, the point is well made. But it does not appear to be of such consequence that action upon the part of the mayor is necessary except to caution the civil service board and the city departments that examinations should be held promptly hereafter.
 But as to the charge that the clerk is inefficient and that the examination was improper I will give careful considera- ton to any charge your committee will prepare and submit in writing to me, together with any evidence in your pos session.
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) John P. Studley,
 Mayor.
 Professor Farnam and Clarence Dem ing called at the office of Samuel J. Well. clerk of the civil service board yesterday noon. MT. Veil was not in when the gentlemen arrived, but came in shortly after.
 "Mr. Weil,' said Professor Farnam, i've would like to have you prepare us a list of all the candidates who suc- cessfully passed the civil service exam ination for the police department and received appointment from 1901 to the present time"
 Professor Farnam would not state what they wanted the list for, but it is understood that the figures of the ex- animation of policemen will be looked over and compared with the recent pro- motions in that department.
 Mir. Veil stated he didn't know the reason of Professor Farnams asking for the list except that the promotion of policemen will be investigated.
