Der of her lady friends. The hours
for receiving were from eight until
eleven and the hostess was assisted
by her cousin Mrs. Heines, of
Newport, O. The affair was a
Pantomime party and the guessing
of the different figures was very
amusing and gave the guests much
pleasure. Mrs. Chas. Thistle
seemed most familiar with these
silent persons as they passed be
fore her, and she was awarded first
honors for naming the highest
number correctly. Miss Sallie Nc.
Coy received the consolation gift.
Mrs. John Heines, who Is noted
elocutionist, gave some very de.
lightful character readings. During
the evening the guests were sur.
prised by sharp ring of the door
bell, and were still more surprised
when Mrs. Carrie Nation walked
into the room and gave one Of her
famous temperance talks. So well
disguised was Mrs. Heines that 1t
was some time before the guests
recognized her.
The party was a complete sue
cess, and the house decorations
were pretty and in keeping with oil
the other appointments which were
arranged with excellent taste. A
very elegant supper was served In

That old eopybeok maxim finds ito
most forceful application IN the waste OF
vitality, which Is called Uburning the
candle at both ends" A woman Is
often tempted beyond her strength by
domestic or social demands. Some day
she awakens from this waste of strength
to the woeful want of it. She has be-
come weak, nervous and miserable.
For weak, nervous, rundown women,
there is no better tonic and nervine than
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. II
restores the appetite, quiets the nerves
and gives refreshing sleep. 1t cures
local diseases peculiarly womanly which
undermine the general health. 1t makes
weak women strong, sick women well.

YOU read nv letter you will remember me"
writes Mrs. Annie Z. Moring, Of z5S 9TH Avenue,
g. W., Roanoke, Va. uIn the year 1897, wrote

'ap> iii$ dl> >pOSition would not always
 pe C ilird wise but such was the large nesS of his heart and kindlinesS of his | nature it. seemed difficult for him to know necessity without relieving it.
 His political record is of such recent date it is useless to narrate except to
 say that as representative twice to
 State Legislature, once in the State Senate, as postmaster and county com
 missioner he discharged his Guties in alF@JStatiOns to !the satisfaction of his constituents. He could have re- ceived within 10 years the nomination for sheriff of the county if he would take it. Twice he was candidate for seat in the National House of 1Repre- SentativeS and the present year could have been candidate for the highest
 office on the State ticket below Lieut. Governor. All this, for man of MT l.yman'S age, We declare exceptional. He bore these honOrs with most gen.
 tlemanly modesty, and has always
 been during the P years he has been
 here as merchant, most actively inter- eSted in the best interests of his town, serving faithfully in several town of ices and remaining for yearS till bis decease on the Washington School Board of officials. Socially. he was a gentleman, atfable and hospitable and 1t was always a pleasure to his friends to meet him in his most pleasant home or welcome him and his family to theirs. He has each year since his
 marriage retained pew at the church
 and been a generous contributor to all
 worthy undertakings in the EccleSias- tlcal society, serving the past year as
 a member of the Ecclesiastical socie-
 tvs committee. He has also been a
 member of the Pavilion Hall Associa-
 tion since the site was purchased on
 which the hall stands. We feel alto
 gether, that we have now lost one of
 the most valued and useful citizens of
 this village and town and one we
 might safely add, without an enemy,
 for he was friend to all. Not in the
 memory of the writer has there been
 seen as many moist eyes as when the
 long procession filed past the casket,
 on Saturday, and looked for the last
 time on his kind, familiar face. Old
 and young. rich and poor were melted
 to sadness and every place of business in the village was closed during the
 funeral service. A pail seems recent ly to have settled on this community by the events lately narrated in pa perS happening here. God grant Sometime we'll better understand"

DEATH OF Ex-sENAToR CHARLES P. This place has met with a loss the the past week, very, very hard to fill, in fact we are at present pOwerless to state if this void will ever be smoothed so the community will recover from the loss. Hon Charles P. Lyman, aft CT an illness which has confined him to his home for neary two months,
 died on December l, aged 46 years. The cause of his death as given by Dr
 Marcy was pachy meningitis. For
 weeks and in fact months before his final confinement, his eyesight and hearing were affected and finally his brain succumbed to the dread disease, The care given him by his family, es.
 pecially his wife and also the minis
 tratiOnS of his faithful physician could not be excelled, but human aid seemed
 powerless to arrest or obliterate the
 ravages which kept weakening him,
 Sapping his strength till the coma state which lasted less than a day be-
 fore his decease. He leaves a widow,
 three sons and one daughter. His fu-
 neral was largely attended at the

 Beardsley, acted as pallbearers. The interment was made in his plot in the cemetery here. In the large con- course of friends who met to pay their last tribute to the memory of MT Ly- man, we noticed Ex-Senator Houii- han, Editor Smith, c. H. Northrop and s. A. Blackman of Newtown: Sheriff MiddlebrookS and Hon N. B. Stevens of Winsted: Deputy Sheriff kilborn, Dr Ford, Messrs s. F. Seeley, John Whittlesey, R. J. Watts of Wash ingtOn; Hon N.

 We all think of MT Lyman as friend. He was that to every body. The poor CT class of this community for miles around must long remember him as one of the most accOmmodat ting mer- chants ever esta blished here. He would or did we think sacrifice his own intrests to benefit others. Per-
