The Corset J Cause Of cancer.

According to the London Lancet,
an eminent English physician has
pointed out the fact that the corset is
4 cause Of cancer Of the breast. The
pressure OF the hard corset upon the
delicate structures Of the breast pro-
dues irritation which lowers the re-
sistance Of the tissues. and gives rise
to cancer of the breast. The right
mammary gland is most subject to the
disease. because of the greater activ-
ity or the right arm. DR.. Lucas, who
calls attention to this form Of mag.
nant disease. gives to II the name
corset cancer He recites numerous
cases OF cancer, the history of which
shows the origin to be such as he has
indicated.

OUT ALL NIGHT.
Moonlight Excur sion Party Boat Went Aground
 in a Fog.

Detroit. Mich.. June 17.-Eleyen hundred people who started out last evening on the steamer Columbia for moonlight ride on the river and dance. were forced to spend the night on the steamer which went aground in q dense fog at 10.30 o'clock at the foot of Peche island. The excursion- ists made the best of the situation and spent the night dancing and sing ing. The passengers were transferred to another steamer after vain attempts had been made to pull the Columbia into the channel. and arrived here at |: 80 a. m.
 Twelve hundred moonlight e1cur- sionists from Wyandotte. Ford. and other down river points. had a similar experience to that of the people on board the Columbia. except that their steamer. the Pleasure, spent the night tied to dock instead of aground. The captain did not dare to attempt to thread the river in the dense fog. The Pleasure was tied up from 11:l5 last night until about o'clock today. The excursionists made the best of their enforced stay on the Pleasure, and danced until daylight

ATWOODS ATTORNEYS
 WHACk LEGIsLATORS.
Call the Language Used in Discussing the Case Cowardy and Display of Unwarranted Personalities in Regard to the Law Firm of Phelan. Toomey and Phelan-Say They Have No Interest in Atwood.

Bridgeport, June 17.-Attorneys Phelan, Toomey and Phelan, counsel for the plaintiff in the Atwood cases now pending in the courts of the state, have forwarded the following letter to Representative Henry Lee of this city for submission to the legis- lature, in reply to the attack made upon them in the house on Thursday:
 Bridgeport, Conn, June 15, 1905.
 Hon Henry Lee, Representative:
 Honored Sir: Several days ago, while the so-called Atwood matter was being discussed in the house of representatives, opponents of Mr At wood. in their zeal to injure him, saw fit to indulge in cowardly and unwar. ranted personalities concerning this firm. Ordinarily we would pay no at. tent1on whatever to any attack from that source. nor accept standards of professional ethics raised by lawyers whose only professional experience, prior to being rewarded for political treachery, was gathered from associa- ti0n with and defense of frequenters of police court; but we realize that even wolf may, by clothing himself in lambs garb, deceive honest minded persons. We therefore desire to say to you that we would appreciate it, if in fulfillment of your duty as repre- sentative of the citizens of this city, among whom we have the honor to be numbered. you would say to the gen eral assembly, either in your own lan- guage or by publication of this letter, that any statement that we have any further interest in the Atwood suits. other than being employed. together with other attorneys at regular fixed fees, in their institution and prosecu- tion, is unqualifiedly and absolutely false, and that the person or persons uttering such a statement either does so maliciously, by remaining ignorant of the truth, or else deliberately falsi- fies. Whether MT Atwood obtains S240 or S2 Tor each suit is entirely i'm material to us. You have known us for a great many years. We are leased to number you among our inti- mate personal friends, to whom We would not hesitate to go for assistance, as you well know, on any matter in which we had personal interest. We have also a large personal acquaint- anceshlp among the other members of the general assembly. The fact that we have not seen fit to ask you nor any other member of the legislature to assist in the passage of any bill af- fecting Atwood or his cases, would seem to be sufficient to indicate to any honest minded man our lack of inter- est therein. Respectfully yours.

SNARLING WHELPS.
Childrens Lives Endangered by Dogs
 the Past Week.

During the past week three or four children have been bitten by vicious dogs and while no serious results are looked for, it does seem that the time has come when some action should be taken by the authorities to give human beings better protection from dogs than they now enjoy. Why doesn't the board of health. the department of safety, or some other board, take hold of this question and see what they can do with it. There are too many dogs in Waterbury. hut If people want to keep them there is no remedy for that so long as they have them IT, censed and don't allow them 10 annoy their neighbor or become a nuisance on the public streetss But this is not done. Less than one-fitfh of the dogs In Waterbury are licensed, and as rule the ones nobody thinks of paying for create the most trouble. There Is room for reform here and it can be done without infiicting a hardship up- on people who like dogs about the house. Between the dog and the reckless youth with the rife. the cat is in hard luck and man walks the street at great risk to his life and limb.

Boston. June 17.-Although this is not legal holiday, practically all the business activities of Greater Boston were suspended today in observance of the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. The patriotic celebra- tion centered as usual in Charlestown, the scene of the famous fight. A special detail of police patrolled the district all night to enforce the ordi- nances. which require that the noisy part of the celebration shall not begin until 4 a. m. Promptly at that hour there was an extensive explosion of fireworks. Two parades were ar ranged for Charlestown during the day, one consisting of military. naval and civic bolies. including blueiackets from visiting warships. for the after noOn and an electrical parade for the evening. Various outdoor events at tracted large numbers of people.

The Superintendent Making Most of
 the Appropriation.
 No matter how much some folks rail at the condition of the city streets, it cannot be denied that Superintendent Hotchkiss is doing good work on roads in the outside districts, and if the money holds out most of the town highways will be in good condition in side of few weeks. Considerable work of what might be termed per manent character has been done on the Meriden road. which at points was 90 low that it was nothing short of a mud hole after every shower and al most impossible when the frost left the ground in the spring. A layer Of stone several feet in depth has been placed on 1t and covered with splendid road material, making it practically as good for all general purposes as the expensive macadam roads constructed under the supervision of Highway Commissioner Macdonald. Gullies have been left at suitable places so that in time of heavy rains the water will run under the streets instead of oyer them The Plank road has also been touched up and is just right for spin in m automobile. The fact that nearly all the members of the board of public works are provided with autos has red many to conclude that they are more interested in the condition of the roads in the outlying sections than about the streets in the thickIy set tied sections Of the city and probably this explains why Mir Hotchkiss ap- pears to be doing his prettiest to make things pleasant for the owner of the silent steed.

SHOT IN

Milford Man Killed
 by His Revolver.
Was Working in the Field When 1t Went Off-Car. ried Weapon for Protec. tion Against Dogs.

Milford, Conn.,, June 17.-Martin l.. hilmer. a market gardener of this place. was accidentally shot and killed to-day by the discharge of revolver which he had been in the habit of carrying in his pocket. MT Kilmer was at work in the field. and vas in the act of spraying potato plants with Paris green when the bullet from rbe weapon r!OTed upward through his clothing. entering the right cheek and penetrating the brain. Mir Kilmer died lnstantly for he did rot release hold on the sprayer in his hand. The re- volver was carried as protection against vicious dogs. but as far as known was never used fol- that pur- pose, and it is supposed that long car riage of the weapon made Mr Kilmer rather neglectful of care of it in his pocket. He was 60 years of age and had lived here with his family for about ten years.
