 A telephone has recently been put into Daniel Gillette's house.
 Mrs HOtchkiSs from Ansunia is visit- ing at M. c. Ford's.
 The first snow storm occurred, Sun day. Monday morning the trees were overloaded with snow and ice, which With fierce wind, caused some of them to break down. Conseu uently the telephone wire was broken in some places. Help came from Washington, and with some local assistance, made the wire as good as new.
 Much sympathy is extended to Mrs Brown and Miss Fannie Brown in tn e loss by fire, on Wednesday of la st week, of their home. Although in- surance partly covers it, there were many articles lost that money cannot replace. Miss Fannie Brown lost valuable personal library of 400 books that she had collected. Part of the furniture on the first floor and other articles were saved, owing to the prompt and untiring labors of John 0. Brinsmade and the Gunnery boys. The pupils of Wykeham Rise also as. sisted by taking articles from the boys as they were brought to the windows, and carrying them to places of safety. Mrs Brown and her daughter, Miss Fannie, were in Danbury at the time or the lire, where they had gone to re- side for the winter with pr Chester Brown. The cause of the fire is un- known. There being no water facili- ties, the total destruction of both house and barn was inevitable

It Is In The Blood
NH IrhER LlNlMENTS NOR OINT- MENTS WILL REACH RHEUMA. TlSM-HOW MR STEPHENSON WAS CURED,

TO attempt to cure rheumatism by external applications is foolish waste of time. The seat of the disease is in the blood and while the sufferer is rub ping lotions and grease on the skin the poison in the circulation is increasing and being distributed to every joint and muscle of the body.
 Delays in adopting a sensible treat ment are dangerous because rheuma- tlSm may at any moment reach the heart and prove fatal. The only safe the best possible blood remedy at once. this obstinate and distressing afflic- tion is that of hundreds who treat it as if it were confined to the part where 1t appears, and superficial. He says:
 About year ago l was attacked by severe rheumatic pains in my left shoulder. The pains were worse in wet weather and at these periods caused me the greatest suffering. l tried number of treatments and olntments but they failed to alleviate the painS."
 Then he realized that the cause must be deeper and the pain only a surface indication, symptom of hid den disorder that must be sought out N1'N VI AASSOSN Oy OH AAOOA d0A AOAAOAys lie adds:
 Il had heard pr Williams Pink l'..lS for Pale People recommended as a cure for rheumatism, and when found that l was getting no relief from applications. 1 made up my mind that 1 would try them. Before the first box was gone l noticed that the pains were becoming less frequent and that they were not so severe as before. After the second box had been used up I was entirely free from discomfort and have had no traces of rheumatism Since."
 The change in treatment proved by almost immediate results that it was quicknesS with which the improve ment proceeded to perfect cure show ed that he had found the true means for the purification and enrichment of his blood.
 People with inhamed and aching joints, or painful muscles;. people who shuffle about with the aid of a cane or a crutch and cry, Oh! at every slight jar, are constantly asking, "What is the best thing for rheuma- tism?"
 "Dr Williams Pink Pills" is the answer of Thomas Stephenson, of No. 115 Greenwood street Springfield, Mass; J. G. Meukel, of No. 2975 Jack son avenue, Dubuque, Iowa; c. H. Hickey, of No. Main street, Harris, R. l.; Henry Story, of No. 532 Musk ingum avenue, Zanesville, Ohio, and scores of others who speak from actual 
 pr Williams Pink Pills are without doubt the best of all blood remedies. Their record in the curing of cases of an8mia alone would be convincing proof of that. They effect genuine and lasting cures in rheumatism. They do not merely deaden the ache, but they expel the poison from the blood. These pills are sold by all drllppiStS

Common sense is said to be rare, and so are shoes for men that are con- Structed on common sense lines. Yet common sense commands success, just as the Orthopoedic shoes, in Meigs tS Co.'S family of ''Zenith'' shoes, are adding to the success of this famous make of shoe. Every man whose feet rebuke him for ill-treatment should try a pair of Orthopoedic shoes and forget he has feet. They give genuine comfort, being made on natural foot lines, yet they do not look freakish, but partake of the style that is insep- arabic from ''Zenith' shoes. They come in your favorite leather, and if you buy pair with viscolized soles, you will have not only comfortable feet, but dry and warm feet at all times. Two notable Units" in shoe styles this season are the Nabob and POtay lasts, which were brought out by Meigs $ Co. of Bridgeport to please the tastes of their hundreds of young men customers. Young men should see them.

AN OLD LANDMARK GONE.

AN OLD LANDMARK CONE
 The residence of the late Dr Orlan- do Brown, together with the barn and all the out buildings, was totally de- stroyed by fire in the forenoon of We'd neSday last. Mrs Brown and her daughter had closed the house and moved to Danbury for the winter, on the day before. The origin of the fire will always remain mystery. There is no doubt, however, but that the fire originated in the house. The writer cOnversed with several who were among the first to arrive on the scene, all of whom said that the house seem- ed to be all on fire inside, before any evidence appeared on the outside This theory is further supported by the testimony of others wbo say they saw smoke coming out of the chim- neyS early in the morning. AS no fire had been built for two days in either chimney, the only way this c uld oC . cur was by it's being drawn up through the fire eplaceS, which, of course, meant that the house was full of smoke Fire was first discovered about 10 o'clock in the morning, and when the doors were forced open, comparatively few articles could be saved, such as could be easily, gotten at on the lower the carriages, wagons, sleigbs and whatever there was of value that could be moved, were saved. pr Brown came to Washington immedi- ately after the close of the war, and purchased the place from William Par rish, who for many years had used it for village inn. The house contain ed many relics and books which were of special value to the family, the loss of which will be deeply felt, and they have the sympathy of their friends in this loss, which to them, money can not pay.

IN MASONIC CIRCLES


 Last Friday evening proved to be a most enjoyable time for the F S A. M., who gathered in their Lodge room at a regular communication to exem- plify the work of the E. A. degree to the satisfaction of R. w. District Dep- uty B. B. BOStwick of New Milford. Deputy BOStwick extended to all words of encouragement and cheer, besides several hints for more correct man. ner of procedure during certain cere- monies. Howard KilbOrn of New Mil ford accompanied MT BOstwick on his ride and after the Lodge closed, all who had come any distance were in- vited to the home of the w. M., where Mrs H. w. Foulois had prepared a most substantial lunch to cheer and strengthen the members of the Lodge in their efforts to reach their homes again. Very few women know better how to suit the tastes and appetites of men or Masons than Mrs Foulois and most prOfuse were all in their expres- sions of appreciation after rising from her table, on Friday evening. The tongueS'of the brethren present seemed set in action by the good things served, and in joke and tale an hour thus Slip ped quickly by and all felt the commu nlcat1On and fraternal meeting had been made much more satisfactory by Mrs Foulois efforts and great kind ness towards the fraternity, Which she has been so apt to do before, seem- ingly just when she could do the most good for the Order.

CONSUMPTION IN SCHOOLS.

DR.. S. A. Knopp, high authority,
outlined recently in an address before
the American Academy of Medicine
at Atlantic City some of the means
which ought to be adopted by public
school officials and teachers to pre-
vent the spread Of consumption
among pupils. The school building
should be on high point where the
air is good. There should be connect
ed with it either a large playground
or roof garden. The rooms should
be kept cool and Well ventilated. A
gymnasium every public school
should have. and, if practicable, a
swimming tank, and regular exercise
should be obligatory. Precautions
should be observed against overtax-
ing boys and girls at the critical pc
rod when they are verging upon man.
hood and womanhood. When the
weather is good classes should be
heard frequently in the open air. Pu-
pills of every age should sing a good
deal. The German army authorities
have Of late much encouraged singing
while marching as an effective means
of repelling pulmonary troubles and
raising the general health and vigor
of their troops Tuberculous children
are removed from French. German.
Italian. and Dutch schools and placed
in public sanitariums. where they are
both treated and fed, and DR.. Knopp
advocates the adoption of a similar
plan in this country.
In the census year 1900 the people
who died of consumption in the
United States numbered 110.O59.
more than We're carried off in the
same year by appendicitis. railway
accidents. diphtheria. grip. cancer.
and typhoid combined ANY and all
measures which promise to check the
mortal ravages of the "great white
seourge' are worth trying almost re-
gardless of cost.

| With rare exceptions Presidential
years are periods Of depression in the
security markets, and have shrinkage
in the volume of trading, but prece-
dent loses all its force when condi-
tons as they exist today are consid-
cred. Instead of depression we are
having extraordinary buoyancy, and
IN place Of shrinkage in trading the
financial centers are experiencing
phenomenal activity. 1t is in many
respects a repetition Of 1892. It was
in that year that President Harrison
said that "the high-water mark of
American prosperity had been reach
ed"
Today none of the disturbing influ-
ences that characterized recent cam
paigns serve to admonish the finan-
cial and business world that it must
cease expanding. Political prospects
for the election Of President Roose-
welt are bright. The money situation
is strong and the harvest will be
bountiful. Not since 1898 has the
country approached the harvest sea-
son with such abundant funds.
True, the wheatcrop has been cut
down to 539,OoO,OeO bushels from
100000 a year ago. This would
make for depression and gloom We're
it not for the fact that the harvest
Of all our farm products will far ex-
coed any recent periods, providing,
of course, that corn maintains its
prospect for bumper crop. Combin-
ed, the Nation will grow 232,O00,0O0
more bushels of cereals than it did in
1908. These facts are closely con-
nected with the business Of the coun-
try, and after such a brief analysis
it is easy to understand why the feel
ing of optimism is growing, why in
dustries are resuming, and why Sc
curities are advancing Ordinarily
this is not the time for rising mar
kets, and while conditions justify the
change for the better, it is easy to
carry the spirit Of exuberance beyond
the point warranted by the underly-
ing facts.
