is one of the leading spirits, and it
was he who conducted the funeral

To Mr.. Weber as true Christian, a
believer and one of Gods chosen
vassals on earth to eXpOund the true
gospel as revealed The funeral dis
course was an exposition of the faith
of the sect and in it the speaker made
many truths plain.
Mr.. Weber was pilgrim i'll the
sect. He visited many cities in the
south and west where he spoke at
meetings held in public halls and in
churches. The belief of the sect is
that Satan is the ruler of the present
world and at the millennial dawn

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
IL good too, but it is very hard
10 digest.
The time to treat consump-
0Jn is when you begin trying
10 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
10 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
mcnt you will win.
Scots Emulsion, fresh air
'est all you can, eat all yo9
cen, that's the treatment and
t5ots the best treatment.

All Caused by Brush and Dried Grass
 Being on Fire.
 There wereN five still alarms yester day afternoon, all caused through grass and brush being on fire, and no damage to amount to anything resulted from any of the blazes.
 No. SIS house responded to three of the stills. The first was at 1:42 o'clock and was at Bakers lot on View street; the second was at 2:15 o'clock and was at the open lot at the corner of Or ange and Gamer streets, and the third was at 3:45 o'clock on Rock lane. It is believed that all these fires were start ed by boys.
 At 2:14 o'clock No. As house extill- guished fires along the banks of the Derby railroad, between Washington street and Howard avenue. It is thought the grass became ignited from sparks from 8 passing locomotive.
 No 6's house was called to 31 Ford street at 1:sO o'clock to extinouish a grass fire in the back yard. The prop erty is owned by the Munson estate.
 It is believed that boys are starting all these grass and rubbish fires which have been occurring about the city for the last few days.

MISS NANCE so'NEIL IN 'MAGDA." :"
 Miss Nance o'Nen appeared in suder- nlann's tragedy, Mazda" last evening. at the Hyperion.
 The play tells the story of the return of a prodigal daughter, after becoming a great singer. The old home has be- come too small for her to remain. and the tragedy of the play lies in the final death of her father, stricken by what he considers her great disobedience. The company with Miss O'Neil is one of great excellence. especially Mckee Ran- kin, who had the difficult part of the father. Miss O'Neil was especially not able for her naturalness. She was handsomely gowned. The whole play was direct and foreeful, depending en- tirely on the acting for the success which it had

MERIDEN STRIKE ENDED.

After Twenty-Five Weeks it is Declared
 Off.
 Meriden, April 5.-After twenty-two weeks the strike of the polishers and buffers at factory H of the Internation- al Silver company was settled to-day in a conference between President Lynch of the International Metal union and President Dodd of the silver company. It is understood that the company will take back, as fast as they can do it, the men who have been on strike This means, apparently, that one by one the strike breakers will leave. The strike originally was over a grievance as to the emery wheels used in polishing and a demand for an increase in wages.

THE FIRST PONY EMPRESS.

From St Joe, Mo, to Sacramento, Cal, in twenty-one ways! That sounds archaic, but until the spring of 1861 the fastest overland mail had been able to dc no better. To remedy this intoler- able condition, Senator Quinn, of Call ifornia. proposed his pet scheme of the Pony Express. Failing of government support, he succeeded in interesting Colonel Russell, of the great firm of Russell, Majors & Waddell., overland traders and government contractors. In the face of certain financial loss these gentlemen determined to do their share toward welding East and West. To their unselftsh patriotism we owe the existence of the Pony Express.
 The arrangements were all made and the riders were ready to mount by noon of April 3, 1S60 Ahe people of Sacramento rang bells and fired a sa- ltite as Harry Rolf galloped away with the precious mail on the road to Placer vile Here Boston Smith took up the burden. And so on The mail sped eastward under the saddles of Sam Hamilton, Pony Bob Halsam, Jock Fisher and the rest of that brave band. Meanwhile. in far If St Toe, enthiasi- asts had plucked the last souvenir hair from the tail of the fiery pony. and the Western mail was on it's way.
 The first express took ten days, ele- ven off the record at the first clip. Later on, weekly and semi-weekly trips of eight and nine days rendered q service almost equal to that of the ear- Tier trains. The Pony Mail that car ried President Lincoln's first inaugural address took just seven days and sev- enteen hours. The fastest limited of to-day will carry you from Missouri to the Pacific in three and one half days, which is only triffe less than half the time made by these hardy lit tie ponies. The iron horse is more powerful and perhaps more depend able: but the Pony Express, with it's

SAIL BURNED UP.

Schooner Wilson & Hunter on Fire at
 the Dock
 When the skipper of the three-masted schooner Wilson & Hunter peeped out of the port-hole from his berth in the cabin at o'clock yesterday morning he saw the spanker sheet in flames. The fire had evidently been burning some time and threatened to communicate to the coal sheds of the Levi c. Gilbert company to whom the cargo of coal is consigned.
 A bucket brigade was organized and the crew dipped their buckets over the side of the vessel many times for wa ter to throw on the burning canvas. They succeeded in putting out the fire before it did any other damage than to destroy the sheet and char the spars. The skipper said that $50 would cover the damage.

THE GOOD PATIENT.
Is the Man Who Knows How to Be

Is the Man Who Knows How to Be
 Sick.
 What like" said the doctor, Ifs a patient of experience. Next to no pa- tierts at all the greatest trial for a doctor is to have a lot of green hands under treatment. Experience counts in taking medicine, as in everything else. Doctors take man who falls victimto disease frequently and loses heavily. He is more amenable to instructions than a person who is draining his first draught at the medical fount.
 The new recruit to the ranks of the i'll is afraid of many things. His eye is untrained and his hand unsteady. He exaggerates danger at every point. He may get the spoon too full or not full enough: he may pour out drop too few or drop too many. In his perplexity he sees but one sure way to avoid either horn tas ti1is i no medicine at all. He is intractabie in many ways. Heistays indoors when he should go out and he goes out when he should stay in
 The old stager who has saturated himself with medicine until his pores ooze oils and tonics is the fellow who brings joy to the heart of his physicians. He watches his symptoms and the ef- feet of the drugs. He knows all about his tongue, his temperature and his pulse, and can determine for himself whether one pellet or two is the proper dose. That self-analysis saves the doc- tor a lot of trouble. Hence the doc tors partiality for visiting list made of persons who know ho wto be sick. ' From the New York Press.
