 The transferring of six pupils from the new grammar school to other school buildings has stirred up a hornets nest around Superintendent Stuart's ears at New Britain. The parents are very indig- nant, and one or more of them have called upon the superintendent to de- mand an explanation. Those who waited upon MT Stuart were John N. aReiter of 69 Walnut street and Charles Hilding What angered the parents of the children most, was an accidental circumstance. The children trans ferred, were those of foreign percentage and it is alleged that the pupils put in their places were of American parentage.
 Selectman Augustine NJ. Lewis of Southington, with Lawyer Thomas F. Welch, visited several of the Shuttle Meadow peach orchards yesterday. While driving by the Carey place in the eastern part of the town their att tention was attracted to what appeared to be a piece of crepe hanging from free delivery mail box. MT Lewis had the reins and he stopped the horse which at once became restless. Thy, caused MT Lewis to give a closer view. and he saw that what had appeared to be a crepe was a snake. Calling to a man in a field nearby MT Lewis told him to get a club and to approach the snake from the other side. This the man did and after fight of about two minutes the snake which had been knocked from its resting place by the first blow from the club, was killed. It was black snake and measured over six feet

SCHLEY'S NEW BOOK.
It Will Tell the True Story of the
 Spanish War.

New York, Sept 1O.-Announce- ment is made that Rear Admiral Schley will shortly publish his auto biography under the title Forty Five Years Under the Flag" About one-third of the book will be devoted to the Spanish war, concerning which the admiral will say in his preface: "In the chapters relating to the operations against Cervera's s fleet the purpose has been to record the events from the writer's own viewpoint, to criticise in spirit of fairness, but without malice, bearing in mind that wherever it has been necessary to refer ito apparent incon- sistencies in the statements of oth- CTS, the author has endeavored all ways to avoid unnecessary personal tiles. Through the courtesy of Sec retary Moody, recourse has been had to official papers which were not available before his accession to of fee"
 The remainder of the large volume will be given to the narrative of Ad- miral Schley's experiences.

DISSELL WANTED $l. 900.
The Telling of ii is What Drove Him
 Out of the Democratic Party.

The story of Dissell's 'fhot touch'' is being circulated, the DfsselI referred to being the West Hartford book agent who was defeated for the demo- cratic nomination for comptroller, and forthwith left the party, and subse- quently in an interview announced that he was going to vote and work for Tom Watson, the populist nominee, says the New Britain Herald.
 The story that is being told is as follows: At a gathering of the demo- cratic chieftafns in Stamford, shortly after the spring convention, when the delegates to the St Louis convention were chosen, there came a long dis tance call on the telephone for Homer S. Cummings
 The man at the other end was VII, liam F. Sheehan. who was at that time managing Judge Parker's can, 1 yass for delegates. According to this story, which was freely used at the state convention in New Haven this week, Mir Sheehan asked Mir Gum 1 mings, "Who is Henry O. Dissell?" He's a delegate to the national con vention from the first district" said l MT Cummings.
 1 ''Is he authorized to speak for tho delegation?" asked MT Sheehan.
 T should say not" was the answer
 The story goes that MT Sheehan then informed Mir Cummings that he had received letter from MT Ddssell in which he said that the delegation wanted $1,000 for expenses to the con vention. Failing to get it, MT Dissell expressed grave doubts that he could save the delegation from voting fot l Hearst.
 Perhaps your Uncle Homer wasn't mad. So was Chairman Walsh. They have been mad ever since and they didn't do a thing but plug against Dis sell when he came out as a candidate for comptroller. When they heard oi Dissell's bolt yesterday they were in position to say, q told you so.'

R. c. Dun & Go. Report am Encourmg-
 ing Outlook.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-R. c. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Holiday influence is calculated to check distribution of merchandise, but the past week has brought more en- couraging results in the business world, and from many points come reports of steadily expanding trade, while it is not exceptional to find comparisons with the corresponding week last year favorable to 1904. Retail trade in fall lines of dry goods, clothing, millinery and nearly all wearing apparel shows healthy growth, and for hardware, household utensils and kindred lines there is broader demand The best development of the week was the re- sumption of work in many industries that have suffered through strikes, while several serious controversies were averted.
 Crop progress is better than average. and high prices promise large profits to the farmers. Railway freight is heavy, chiefly due to the marketing of grain and cotton and earnings in Au- gust were 2.S per cent larger than in 1903.
 A slightly f1rmer tone in the money market has scarcely altered quotations as yet, but declining bank reserves and transfers to the interior promise to bring better rates shortly. Gross gold in the treasury is close to the maxi mum, and funds in the hands of the people are at the highest figures on record, while speculative activity has extended to the bond department.
 Commercial failures for the week in the United States are POO against 222 last week, 205 the preceding week and 172 the corresponding week last year. Of failures this week in the United States sixty-eight were in the east, fifty-three south,f flfty-six west and twenty-three in the Pacific states, and sixty-three report liabilities of $5,0OO 9r more. a,.

"NO | DID NOT SWEAR OFF"

replied the man with the copper nose. ''I went into a grocery, the other night, to buy bag of BROWNS QUICK FIRE CHARCOAL; a lady, evidently a foreigner, was complaining about some hens eggs she had bought, she said they were all rotten and she would take nothing but fresh farmers eggs in the future. After coming from the grocery I met my wife, and we went into drug store to get some soda. I told the clerk to put a Lolly Pop in mine; My wife says that must be lovely, and said she would take one i'll hers; I winked and the clerk put three fingers of Gin in mine, and tt stiff dose of Tincture of Capsicum in hers. From the way 1t affected her don't think she will try another Lolly Pop with soda.'

ment without oyertaxing the powers OF
digestion.
We all know persons who think 1t a
simple matter to eat indigestible food
and then take tablets of pepein or
something else to assist the overworked
stomach. I heard young girl who
came of line OF dyspeptics asserting
triumphantly one day that she could
eat almost anything without subse-
quent discomfort if she only put
enough red pepper on it.
"My child" said an elderly man who
heard her, "that may answer when it is
absolutely necessary, as you grow older.
But you are too young to DO sticking
spurs into the side of your stomach
like that"
When it comes to the question of
sticking in spurs in the first place or
applying remedies to cure the harm
the spurs have done, one is hard put to
1t to decide which is the greater folly.

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.

keep we'll in the first instance, or If one |
can, to bring oneself up after one ls
run down, by natural, common sense
methods than to make ones stom- |
ach general deposit for drugs of all
sorts.
Such common sense ways are not lar
to seek. In fact, they are 60 close at
hand, so every day, that sometimes
something nasty taken out of bottle
they are condemned on that very &C.
count. The patient feels as Naamsn
did. If some hard thing were required,
1t would be done, but diet, exercise.
correct clothing seem futile, useless
things. A doctor, prescription, ap-
peal far more to the Imagination.
But let us consider the common
place remedies. The question OF diet
should bs studied by every woman,
for both her own sake and for that OF
her children. The mother of family
should know that there are certain
foods that build up bone and muscle,
others that make flesh, still others that
may please the palate but do little be-
sides. She should learn what these are
and give serious thought as to how to
mbine..them to win the best results
for her family. She should know that
food may be wholesome and vet appe-
tlzing, that food which taetes good is
more easily dlgested than that which
does not please the appetite. If she
will bear all this in mind she will grow
to feel that her profession as a house
keeper, which she may have, thought
of as small thing, is in reality, very
important affair.
Much of the prejudice against whole
some food, in the minds of the lords OF
creation, at any rate, is due to the idea
cherished by most of them that the
food that agrees with them must be un-
pleasant, and that that which they love
is pretty sure to be considered bad tor
them by the advocates of rational diet.
There is just enough truth in this to
furnish them with a ground for COM
plant. It should be the work of the
housekeeper to provide variety on
her table ard if che feels that, for the
sake of peace in the family she must
furnish some unwholesome articles,
10 sandwich these In between other
items which will make less strain upon
the gastric powers. It can be done,
but it takes time and trouble.
It has become truism that we are a
nation of dyspeptics. Once in a while
one hears some happy man or woman
boast OF an unimpaired digestion. But
that same fortunate person is likely to
take advantage Of such luck and do all
sorts of rash things. The truth Is se,-
dom appreciated that the person who
begins by feeling that he can eat every
thing generally ends by not being able
to eat anything.
At least, let the child be started
right and an attempt made to supply
him with tolerably good stomach.
Even if he can eat almost anything
without distress, it is extremely foolish
to let him do it. He is using up the
powers of stomach which should stand
by him in later life. If he makes
drafts on his principal now he will
have none to fall back upon when he is
older. Do not allow him to indulge in
sausages and griddle cakes and hot
pies and pastry and pickles and similar

Consumption is a human

is good too, but it is very hard

The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
