Looked like-Marvelous
Cure by Cuticura.

-At four months old my baby's face
and body were so covered with sores
and large scales you could not tell
what she looked like. No child ever
had worse case. Her face was being
eaten away. and even her finger nails
fell off. 1t itched so she could not
sleep. and for many weary Lights we
could get no rest. At last we got

Mir. and Mrs. Mark Murphy and their big feature number, 'The Coal Strike, :" will be the means of introducing these two favorites as leading number of the Bijou bill this afternoon. MT. and Mrs. Murphy have been styled the king and queen of Irish comedy and usually their efforts in the funmaking line are of the uproarious an dhilarious variety. This time they seek to introduce some thing built on new Iines The dread of a coal strike is upon everybody's mind and no doubt Mark Murphy has a way of making comedy out of the fear of one.
 Julie Ring and her company, includ- ing q. Roland Sergeant, are coming in the delightful comedy hit, "A Quiet Life" Miss Julie Ring is a sister of the famous Blanche Ring and has many of the talents of the latter.
 Gilroy, Haynes and Montgomery, with their nautical number, 'The Good Ship Nancey Lee,' allows for some clever musical and singing numbers and the trip will be lively.
 The musical KIeist, who has a way of introducing electrical and musical ef- fects along with his mysterious black art work is a wonder in his line and, as usual, will have a new series of black art features.
 MT. and Mrs, Jimmy Barry in "The Village Cut-Up," will allow Barry to have some fun. George B. Alexander, the famous Hobo character, is coming in a singing turn to entertain the au- dience. The Misses Carew and Hayes, with their Dady and Salvey number, are two pretty misses who will have a delightful singing and dancing speciality as the leading feature of the long. olio.
 The electrograph will have new se- rises of the famous motion pictures that will include some amusing as well as many entertaining series of these de- lightful closing numbers on lengthy bill of vaudeville.

 The death of Mrs Helen M. Fessen- den, wife of Senator Fessenden of Stamford, which took place at the home of the family in that city Fri day, without a moments warning practically, is deeply deplOred. The event is a sorrOwfuI one from every point of view and will be felt most keenIy by Senator Fessend5n, whose home life is full of tenderness and re- fined surroundings. Mrs. Fessenden was a descendant of the Rev. John Davenport, founder and first minister of the New Haven colony. One of her ancestors, Abraham Davenport, was the man who ordered the lamps to be lighted in the Connecticut house of deputies during the dark day in colo nial times, when it was feared that the final judgment was at hand. She was i the daughter Of Theodora Davenport of Stamford, now deceased, and was a woman thoroughly beloved in social, religious and philanthropic circles. She is survived by one son and two daughters, all having reachsd maturi- ty. In the loss that has befallen him Senator Fessendtn will have the sym pathy and condolence of hosts of friends throughout the state. While the senate was in session last winter the death of Mir. Fessenden's mother took place at the family home in Stam- ford. The loss at that time was deep ly felt by thes senator. The new be- reavement coming so soon and so sud- denly after the sorrow of a few months ago will be one of the heaviest of burdens.
 Senator Andrew Gordon, whose son, Major Gordon, was on the staff of Governor Chamberlain, will spend the winter in Florida, leaving with his wife for that state immediately after Thanksgiving. Senator Gordon, who has been one of the chiefs of industry in Hartford county for years, is vete- ran of the civil war. He served in the Eighth Connecticut regiment and was dangerously wounded while with the colors in the battle of Antietam. He was one of the heroes of that field and is held in the highest comradeship by the veterans of the state. Tine com- mission having the selection of the battleship silver service in charge for the Connecticut has received designs for the service from competitors in the state. The commission is composed of Governor Roberts, Comptroller Mitch ell General Henry c. Dwight and Past National Vice Department Commander Francis B. Allen of Hartford. The sil- yer service, which was authorized by the legislature, will cost $4,00O. A pro- vision of the act was that it should be | made in Connecticut.

Joseph Schleicher, past commander of General won SteinWehr post, died on Friday from a paralytic shock in the Soldiers home at Noroton. He was born in Germany in 1928 and came to New Haven in 1852. He was a member of the Sixth company, regulars, at the time of the war and served three years and three months. He was wounded several times and this left him an in- valid. Twelve years ago he was elected to represent the Grand Army at the national encampment in Louisville, and there received a commission on the staff.

That faction of the or ganiZation upon whom fall the respon- sibIe burdens of the comedy and solo work. can safely be relied upon for an agreeable accounting, as the list em- braces such commendable artists as Florine Sweetman, Edith Hart, Flor ence Brooks Clement Bevins, Charlie Saxon. Ali. G. Pearce, Frank Evans, and dozen others equally trustworthy, not forgetting Miss Rose Beaumont, of the famous Beaumont sisters, whose names were a positive magnet during the long reign of Weber & Fields.
 All of these mighty forces of enter
 tainment people have been skillfully amalgamated, as it were, into a per- feet whole under the splendid direction
 of Sam Marion, loaned for the purpose by Henry w. Savage; and then, too, George Totten Smith, the author of the l book and greater part of the lyrics, att tended the rehearsals diligently so as to make the meaning of his ingenious plans entirely clear. To these neces- sary particulars, may be added the lav- ish disposition on the part of the man agement, which insured for the produc- tiOn such scenic and costume grandeur as should surpass in general detail all other attempts. All in all, The Brand Boy" which comes to the New Haven
 theater tonight, Tuesday and Wednes-
 day nights and matinee Wednesday,
 may be rightly regarded as one of the most important bookings of the year.
 HOW HEARTS ARE BROKEN
 How Hearts are Broken" play new
 to this city, will have its first local
 hearing at the New Haven theater the
 last three nights this week, and while it comes as a stranger it also brings
 with it the highest praise from the press of neigbboring cities. The scenes
 which are laid along the picturesque
 New England coast, are said to be mar vels of the scene painters art, and the story with its quaint but true charac- l ters is centered around one Mona Fan cher, a poor fisherman's daughter who is known for her beauty as we'll as lovable nature that has endeaerd her to
 all the village folk, and who readily
 falls prey to the glib tongue of one
 Julian Merrill, who secures her consent
 to secret marriage, and later a child
 is born, which sets the village gossip
 ing and the finger of scorn is pointed at the supposed-to-be guilty mother,
 and the lawful husband and father, in-
 stead of fighting her great wrong, is se-
 cretly laying plans to kidnap his child
 and have the mother accused of mur- der In this he is successful, and
 through the remaining chapters runs most intensely interesting and exciting

PROMINENT MILFORD YOUNG
 LADY'S DEATH.

Mrs. F. N. Platt, of Milford, died Sat urday night at her home in that place, About two weeks ago Mrs. Platt gave birth to baby boy and had been quite i'll ever since. Although specialists were summoned and everything possi- ble done to save her life, the efforts were futile. She was a finely educated young lady and was the wife of F. N. Platt, prominent young business man, son of MT. Platt, of Milford, a noted fruit raiser. She was a daughter of Judge c, G. Root, of the Waterbury court, and was prominent and beloved socially, and her death casts a gloom over a large circle of friends, including her schoolmates at educational institu- tions.
 Mir. Platt had entirely renovated his ancestral home for his young wife, and together they had tastefully planned the arrangement and furnishing of it. MT. Platt, who is master of Milford grange and young man of great prom thence, has the sympathy of the entire community.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

Before and After" will be given at the Hyperion theater next Wednesday evening. This new play ought to make good as a laughter proposition, since it is sponsored (''presented," Charles Frohman puts it, though quite unfairly to his actors) by no less an authority in the funny world than Lew Docksta- der, who, with Robert Hunter, appears as a manager of this attraction. Lew has broken into management for fair, and, with three such actors in the cast as Fritz Williams, Tom Wise and MT. Ditrichstein himself, it begins to look as if Lew, himself very lord of laugh ter, knew what he was about when he chose Before and After as his first managerial venture.

WILLIAM J. BRApHEY.

William J. Bradley, whose death oc- cured Saturday, was of old New Ha-
 ven ancestry, a lifelong resident of this city and well known. In his early years he was employed by N. T. Bushnell then in the grocery business on State street, and later, for a time, he was in the same business in Bridgeport, but in the late fifties he became interested in sewing machines, then not much known, and some years later became Esenior partner in the firm of W. j. Bradley &
 Co.,, purchasing and selling agents of Singer sewing machines. This firm was I well known and carried on a large busi-
 ness until about 1875, when the Singer Sewing Machine company bought out I the firm and has since dealt directly with the public through it's own agents. They continued MT. Bradley as their manager here and added to his terri tory from time to time until in 1888 they called him to New York and placed un- der his care the whole or portions of five states, with numerous sub-agencies and local offices and with several hum dred employees.
 He remained there about twelve
 years, going there daily, as he retained
 his residence here. I Previous to 1900 it became evident | that his health was impaired, and in that year he withdrew from business, except for the local office here, and | about a. year later gave up that also | and made fruitless effort to regain his health.
 For the past year or more he had
 been almost wholly confined to his res- idence The cause of his death was | neurasthenia, accompanied by an al- I most imperceptible but continuous wasting away.
 His personality was such that he commanded not only the confidence and | respect of all associated with him, but also was the esteemed friend, and his
 death will be severely felt by all who ] knew him.
 He married Miss Sarah Hart, of Will nington, N. C., was survives him, as | also does his sister, Mrs. Thomas A. Hamlen.

Medicine did me ab- solutely no good whatever. I endured this condition for seven years
 'In January (19O4) g. friend told me that for several years prior to 1900 she had suffered much as I appeared to be suffering, and that the cause of it was improper food. That when she reached this conclusion she began the systemat- ic use of Grape-Nuts food, with a gen tera1 course of diet and exercise, such as is recommended in the little book "rhe Road to Wellvil1e' and was there by completely restored to health in a very short time.
 Knowing that the word of my friend could be implicitly relied upon, deter mined to follow her example I stop- ped the use of all medicines at once made Grape-Nuts food the principal ar ticle of my diet, and practiced the course of living enjoined in the Road to WellvilIe'-and all to my great joy and bodily comfort as witness.
 My mind became clear and active and my memory fully restored. VT "My digestion has been completely renewed, and I am no longer haunted nightly by hideous dreams.
