Congratulations.

Mr.. John II. Cullom editor OF the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulation to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: Sixteen years ago
when our first child was a baby ne
was subject to croupy spells and we
would be very uneasy about him. We
began using Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such
a reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time We have fve
children and have given it TO all OF
them with good results. One good
feature OF this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and babies
really like 1t. Another is that it is
not dangerous, and there is no risk

WORLD IS NOT ROUND?
Rather Than Admit it finnish Colony
 will Leave Rich Farms.

Hiram, O., Oct 6.-The wealthy Amish colony here will sell their valu- able farms and move away because of the outcome of a trial of one of their number, arraigned for his refusal to send his children to the public schools.
 The Anish people will not admit that the earth is round and for that reason object to their children study in geography as 1t is taught in the public schools. They have estab lished schools of their own in which reading, arit4metic and writing only are taught.
 The colony own the finest farms in the state, live simply, and, in accord ance with their belief in non=resistance, are paying their fines in the cases which were brought against them.
 The prosecuting attorney called in the elders yesterday and explained to them that they must send their chil- dren to the credited schools, and they replied that they would move away rather than have trouble.

AFTER A FORTUNE.
Man Comes From South Africa to
 Hartford to Claim it.

Hartford Oct 6.-Herbert Tuite, a young man just returned from South Africa by way of Australia, is in this city in quest of a small fortune left him by his uncle, the late Peter Tuite of this city. He was killed by train at Bristol in 1892, leaving fortune of $1O00O0. There is little doubt about the part of theafortune coming to the claimant, as it is credited to him by the City bank of Hartford, and Presi- dent Charles T. Welles of that institu- tion is trustee for the fund.
 T was in ti1Isp city nine years ago with my father, Major-G General Mich ael Tuite of the Australian cavalry, at the time of the settlement of the es- tate of my uncle over which there was considerable litigation between claim, ants and the real heirs. AS I remem- Der it my fathers share was about $20,0OO. He died here, and went back to the home of my mother in Sidney. Part of this sum was left in trust for me by the terms of my fathers will
 MT Tuite, who says his uncle incor- retcly spelled his name "Chuite," will be 21. years of age next March, at which time he will have legal claim upon the money When he gets it he will remain in this city and enter into some business.
 The young man enlisted in the Aus tralian cavalry and was with that body for ten months of the Boer war in South Africa. He is registered at Longs hotel.

TREATY OBLIGATIONS.
Washington instructions Regarding
 Death of Britishers.

Governor Chamberlain has received from the state department at Wash ington a letter stating that the British ambassador says that the British con- sular officers in the United States re- port that the local authorities fail to notify them of the deaths of British subjects who die in this country with out heirs or testamentary executors appointed by them, and that in some instances where the death is brought to their notice they are not able to ob- tain reports as to the distribution of the intestate estate.
 The agreement between the United States and Great Britain requires that in the cases of such deaths the local authorities shaI1 notify the nearest consular officer of the country to which the deceased belonged. Governor Chamberlain has been asked to see that the treaty between the two coun- tries is not violated in Connecticut, and he will request the town clerks to see that the proper returns are made.
