WHIST PARTY OF THE
 QUEENS DAUGHTERS

Much interest Is being manifested fin the charity whist party and dance which will be given ill the City hall on Thursday night by the Queens Daughters for the benefit of the Sis ters of the Holy Ghost, who have been driven out of France by the persecu- ton of the French government and have taken refuge in this country. A number of these gentle, hard working little Sisters, who are blessing to any community, located ill the Hart ford diocese, several coming to this city. They have no means. of support except what charitable people may offer them or what they may receive from persons who have received their kind services during sickness. The object of the entertainment being such a charitable one, the City hall should be crowded to the doors on Thursday night when the whist party and dance is held.

I The report of the board of public 1 works, printed elsewhere in this issue i of the Democrat was read and laid on the table. MT Hewitt inquired if a map showing the new turnouts could be seen. The chair informed him that the map is at the office of the City engineer, whereupon MT Murray re- marked that he thought that the map should be in charge of the clerk, for when the aldermen get to changing the recommendations of the board of pub lie, works they might want to change the map, too.
 Aldermen Filling and Hewitt sub- mitted communication relative to i Harrington cafe question, recommend ing that Mir Harrington's term termin- ate on December 31, 1904.

MT -Callan | moved that the report be adopted and i Mir Holmes seconded 1t. Then the ora tors got down to business. Alderman Bergen and Murray taking the ground that public necessity and convenience required the retention of the cafe and submitting petition signed by q large number of merchants, professional men and wage earners praying that MT Harrington be permitted to do bus mess at the old stand Alderman Beach said he was not prepared to vote for the recommendation at that time. as 1t is until the present license ex- pires.
 On motion of Mr Murray the matter was tabled, Messrs Bergen, Hurley, Murray, Dunn. Buck. Beach and Ma cauley favoring 1t and Messrs Callan, Filling Stanley, Hewitt and Holmes l opposing it.

TRYING TO LOCATE
 WINNER OF Sl.OOO.

Two members of the Waterbury Knights of Columbus fair committee came to Meriden Monday with Sheriff McDonald to consult with George Carl son, winner of the $1,000 cash prize offered by the organization, and John Oliver, who claims he held the ticket, but has been unable to find 1t. The three visitors met at the Pratt street fire station and sent for MT Carlson, Mir Oliver, and the young man who sold the ticket to Carlson, Samuel Ty- Ter, of the Charles Parker company.
 The Olivers seemed to- think they won the money, but are not positive what name they wrote on the coupon. Carlson said he purchased the ticket from MT Tyler from book and the winning ticket was the last in the book. This MT Tyler corroborates.
 After discussing the matter for some time the fair committeeman offered Mir Carlson 5000 in cash and stated they would hold back one hundred as there is another claimant to the prize. Later the society will pay over the $100. Mir Carlson promptly refused to accept anything but the $1,00O. He said 1t belongs to him and he wanted all or nothing at present. The fair people refused to change their offer so Mir Carlson still refused to accept 5000. He then no- tiled the visitors he would consult a lawyer, and did so.
 It Is understood the K. of c. com nfttee desires to hold back the S10O to fight the case if the Olivers take legal action.--Meriden Record.

BREATHE HEALING AIR.

Hyomei Destroys Germs of Catarrh and
Cures the Disease-Money Back If It
Fails.
No other treatment for catarrhal troubles
Is as pleasant and convenient to use as
Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops of
Hyomei in the inhaler that comes with
every outfit, and then breathe it for few
minutes four times day, and it will cure
the worst case of catarrh. In this way, one
takes into the air passages of the head,
throat and lungs air that is filled with bal
samic healing and antiseptic fragrance. 1t
goes to the most remote parts of the air
passages, destroys all catarrhal germs, and
enriches and purifes the blood with addi-
tiOnal ozone
The first days use of Hyomei will show a
decided improvement, and in q short time
there will be no further trouble with Ca
tarrh. Its good effects are quickly gained,
and the benefit is permanent.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
The complete outfit costs but one dollar,
and if, after using you can say that it did
not give satisfaction, r. H. Moody will re-
turn your money. You have the promise
of one of the most reliable drug firms in
this section, that Hyomei will cost you alb
solutely nothing, if you can say at did not
help" You are to use it entirely at his
risk, with the understanding that your
money will be returned without question
or argument, If you are not satisfied with
HyOmei.

We should not class Mr.. Cobb as a
politician. He is first of all business
man, and his political experience, so
far as office-holding goes, is confined to

In the instalment Of Whites History
of Belfast published this week the au-
thor says: "And if by many the idea
may be reckoned among the chimeras
of the day-yet it must be admitted as
possible that Belfast one day shall have
become the largest town in the State"
The author of Whites history was evil
IDENTIFY one who "dipt into the future
far as human eye could see.' He saw,
as many do to-day, in looking back
ward, the possibilities for our city of
which we have not taken advantage,
Suppose, for example, that the Belfast
& Moosehead Lake railroad had been
built according TO the original plan.
We should have had the trade of that
region, and later Of the Aroostook. The
B. < A. extension, now talked of, would
not be needed and this would have be-
come one of the biggest shipping ports
In Maine. Then there is the island
trade which would naturally come here,
and did come here in years past in the
days of sailing packets, but which in
this era of steam has been largely di-
verified elsewhere. On one occasion
when efforts were made to locate a
new industry here, one of its advocates
spoke of the addition it would make to
our population, when business man"
exclaimed: eve don't want any more
people here. We've got people enough
now" That Belfast has not attained
the position Mr.. White believed II years
ago to be possible is perhaps due to this
sentiment, which some day we may
hope to outgrow.
