EAGLES IN NAUGATUCK.
Offacers Installed by State President
 Gray of New Haven.

The Eagles from Waterbury and all other parts of the state sWooped down on little NauGa tuck hast night and with the aid of their 'Drother members in the rubber borough LOOK if by storm. It was Eagle night an Naupatuck and from early in the evening until late at night the sTeets echoed with the familiar cry or rhls fraternal organization. ever 1ncreas- ing in popularity, ''Yea. yea, yea" It was the occasion of the institution or a new aerie of Eagles in Naugatuck. About four hundred members of the Waterbury aerie, who is the sponsor for the Naugatuck aerie, left here last night about ' o'clock for Nauga- tuck. On arriving at the trolley ter minus they were met by their Naug- atuck brethren, 15O strong. A street parade was then held. Crowds of people lined the streets along the line of march and much red fire was burned It was royal welcome.
 At the meeting which was held af- ter the parade ,-the following officers were installed by State President M. J. Gray of New Haven and District Deputy M. J. Smith of Waterbury Worthy past president, John H. Dui- gan; worthy president, John F. Jones; worthy vice president, Alfred Ashmore; worthy financial secretary, John P.

MAN FOR ST. LOUIS.
Waterbury Has nember of Demo"
 cratic Committee Goina There.

Waterbury ought to have 8 repre- sentative of the Connecticut delegation to the national democratic convention which will be convened at St Louis the first week in July. Many are say ing that inasmuch as State Commit teeman H. M. Rigney will be there at that time as a visitor to the great ex- position, 1t might be well to have mm a delegate to the convention, too. It will be remembered that Mr Rigney won a ticket to St Louis at the union Foresters' fair and will take in the sights free so far as railroad fare goes This would not be any reason why he should represent a constituency at the convention unless he were the right kind of man, but as it is generally ad- mitted that the sage of Watervile is a good democrat and is also on record with the statement that he knows candidate that can sweep the field, many think 1t would be we'll to put him in a position to help trot out a winner. For the past three or four terms the democrats have permitted men to nominate themselves as candi- dates for the presidency, but there Is a feeling abroad just now that on thls occasion there should be a change of base and let the people do the seeking. The country is anxious for a cnange, but 1t will not make 1t until the demo crats nominate a standard bearer that commands the confidence of capital and labor. It is admitted that the party has the right material, but the trouble appears to be in getting it to the front and as result the other fel- lows have been winning hands down. There is a golden opportunity for the democrats this fall and as many or them as hope for party supremacy In national politics are comparing notes and vowing to do their own thinking before the convention instead of after it. If this plan Is carried out ana electors who claim to be tired of the powers that be and want cnangs, mean business and keep clear of the side shows, then the next great na- tional battle of the ballots will leave the 2. o. D. sprawling outside me breastworks.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in tile credit oz ----- is a matter attained by uTk daunted persistence in matters oa quality and littleness of price. backed by the most liberal and generous creds 1t proposition ever offered to the pub4 lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Go.
 Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy" There's no special honor in fha fact that one can walk into a store. lay down in cold cash the full prics asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of proposition, 8 mere transaction. To have credit given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled 10 it. What a great honor it is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching it's beneficial effects.
 large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to thia great comodity. To buy for cashy then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always distinction that one should be proud Of.

FIR. LOCKWOOD MISTAKEN
Offers an Apology to Farmer Tyler of
 East Haven.

The Rev J. H. Lockwood pastor of the Methodist church in Naugatuck. who was reported as having made re- marks of the most sensational nature an regard to bribery and corruption among the members Of the legislature and about the brewers dictating ap- continents to the committee on tenn perance in an address at the recent conference of the New Haven District association of the Methodist Episcopal church, and who later stated that ha had been misquoted and misrepresent- ed and had not made the statements accredited to him, has now made a re- traction. MT Lockwood says:
 T very much regret having said re- gently that the chairman of the tenn perance committee in the last general assembly was the keeper of a road house, for I find that that is not fact, My information as to the nature of his occupation was given me by a gen. ueman on whose accuracy in such matters I supposed I could safely rely. 1t is evident that he was entirely mis- taken in this matter l have learned that Mir Tyler, the chairman referred to, Is respectable farmer residing in East Haven, who has been honored by hs townsmen with the office of first selectman. I have sent MT Tyler an apology for the misstatement which l was led to make by reason of mis- placed confidence in the trustworthi- ness of my informant I sincerely re- gret having made an erroneous state l ment. and I am pained to think that any word of mine, even though uttered without malicious intention, should have done anyone injustice"
 After the denia1s and retractions have been made, the Rev Mr Lock i woods remarks seem only common place and did not warrant all the mo- toraetx that they recetyed~

ANS Is Nl1raculous.

Manhattan, Fan, March 14.-One Of
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. is that of the
three-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Jonas
Bruhaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of spinal meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
"We began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is we'll as any
child, running and playing as If moth
ing had ever been the matter with her
The doctors said she was beyond the
reach of medicine. Dodd'S Kidney
Pills certainly saved our little girls
life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright's Disease that
we thought nothing could save her"

PIPE SMOKED BY RALEIGH.
Quaint Relic that Is Descended from
Elizaketh's Time.


During the last fortnight Americans
i'll London have been docking TO the
shipping exhibition in Whltechapel to
see a relic of United States history
which will be interesting likewise to
their countrymen ut home. This Is
nothing less than the pipe smoked by
! Sir Walter Raleigh which is also Of
course. the first ever smoked in this
country, the famous courtier of Queen
Elizabeth having introduced the fra
grant weed in England on his return
from America. The pipe belongs to
the Prince of Wales, who always has
seen to it's being guarded most care
| fully. There Is little doubt that this is
the pipe that Sir Walter was enjoying
when his servant, frightened at the
cloud of smoke, dashed pail OF cold
water over his master to extinguish
the flames which he thought were
threatening the knights life. 1t is
probable, too, that Raleigh used this
pipe when he demonstrated TO Queen
Elizabeth the weight of given
amount of smoke by weighing some to-
bacco, smoking 1t and weighing the
ashes.
! Even more interesting than these.
however. are the associations OF the
pipe with the latter part Of the court
| favorite's life. 1t was his constant com
| panion when he placed the battlement
outside the prison at the tower of
London while composing his history OF
the world.
| To this day the window i'm the white
| tower Is pointed out where Sir Walter
smoked his pipe as he watched his
rival. the Earl of Essex walk to the
scaffold erected on the green Just be-
low, and there is equally trustworthy
substantiatiou for the tradition that
this was the pipe the knight carried
with him TO the block when il came his
/ turn to take the sharp medicine but
a cure for all diseases"
For many years the pipe was part
of the Duke of Cambridge's collection,
who, though not a great user of to-
bacco. has one of the finest collections
| of pipeS and snuff boxes in the king.
