 With the two lines in negotiation in

 be in possession of a continuous line of
 trolleys from Meriden to New Rochelle with the exception of the intervening

 In anticipation of that event ar- ranged and published what I suppose was the first book in the United States known by the name of Music Reader This book has been succeeded in turn by three different series of readers, the second series containing three books, the third series four books, and the latest series, just now introduced, con- sisting of six books.
 The years which preceded the advent Of horse cars and later of trolley cars were strenuous years for the supervisor of music. Footing it to Fair Haven and thence to Four Corners was a reg ular schedule trip, a ssormy day, such as we sometimes read about, made me of these trips remarkable. On one oc- casion met but one human being on ? the route, a milkman clad in oil skins and standing up in his wagon because he preferred not to sit down. Arriving at the school house I found just two l teachers and four pupils. The annual examination, for such it happened to be, was perfect, the four scholars received the coveted stars, and the supervisor was repaid for his journey.
 As I stand here to-day the situation is somewhat novel; seated on this plat form are gentlemen who were once pu- , pills under my instruction. It was my ] duty in those days to direct and theirs i to obey; but the tables have turned, it has now become their pre- rogatiye as members of the board of education to direct, and mine to obey.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
 the Treatment of Stomach Troubles

The remedy is not heralded as 8 won- derful discovery nor yet a secret patent medicine, neither is itsclaimed to cure anything except dyspepsia, indigestion, and stomach troubles with which nine out of ten suffer
 The remedy is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure asep- tic pepsif1 Government test), golden seal and diastase.
 The tablets are sold by druggists un- der the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting experiments to test the digestive power of Stuart's s tablets show that one grain of the ae tive principle contained in them is suf- flcient to thoroughly digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
 Stuart's tablets do not act upon the bowels like after dinner pills and cheap catharties, which simply irritate and inf1ame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or curing indigestion.
 If the stomach can be rested or as- sisted in the work of digestion, it will very soon recover it's normal vigor as no organ is so much abused and overworked as the stomach.
 This is the secret if there is any se- cret, of the remarkable success of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy practically unknown a few years ago, and now the most widely known of any treatment for stomach weakness.
 This success has been secured entire ly upon its merits as a digestive pure and simple because there can be no stomach trouble if the food is promptly digested. $ :.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en- tirely on the food eaten, digesting it completely, so that it can be assimilat. ed into the blood, nerve and tissue They cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach gas and bloating after meals because they furnish the digestive pow. CT which weak stomachs lack and un. less that lack is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure by the use of ton ics'', "pills" and cathartics which, have absolutely no digestive power.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can bt found at all drug stores and the regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit better than any other argumant

TWO MORE TROLLEY SYSTEMS
THE GoEseETDzTED RoaD NE
 COMPLYING TO .scoUIRE

The Property owned and Operated by
 the Greenwich Tramway Company
 and the New York and Stamford Street Railway Company---wiiI Prob-
 ably Get the Controlling Interest--An
 Important Link Between New Haven
 and New York.
 It became known yesterday afternoon that the Consolidated Railway compa- l ny, which is the holding corporation for the trolley interests of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road company, was about to acquire two more trolley systems. The com fpany is negotiating for the property owned and operated by the Greenwich Tramway company and the New York
 and Stamford Street Railway company,
 and will probably acquire majority
 of the stock of these two corporations. or at Aeast a controlling interest in them. President c. S. Mellen of the l New Haven road confirmed the report I ed negotiations, when seen yesterday afternoon. It was stated that the amount involved in the transfer of the two properties was million and half
 dollars. President Mellen, however 1 took occasion to state that the negoti- ations were not based on any such 1 figure.
 The importance of this proposed new.
 accession to the holdings of the Con solidated Railway company is apparent when it is known that the line owned
 and operated by the Greenwich Tram 1 way company extends over distance of 8.34 miles from the terminus of the ] Stamford Street Railway company, al
 ready owned by the Consolidated, to 8 ] point in East Portchester, N. Y. Here l the road of the New York and Stamford Street Railway company joins the
 Greenwich eompany's line, extending ] for distance of thirty miles to Larch- 3 mont and New Rochelle, N. Y.
 l The two companies are in the hands lof Connecticut and New York capital i ists, and Col. N. H. Heft of Bridgeport

A Strange Thing That is Agitating the
 Country.
 The New York and Philadelphia pa : pers have had much to say of late con corning so.called magic kettle that shows reversal of all the accepted laws of nature. By means of this ket- tie ice cream is made over a hot fire. eggs are turned into Jumps of ice by pouring hot water over them. kerosene oil is turned into ice and made to burn. and other things equally strange are done, Even mercury is frozen in the magic kettle. and to prove that it is all a mystery the .demonstrator, Joseph Yarfick, has a standing challenge of s5,c00 for anyone to prove that he uses chemicals of any kind in the ketIle. Mir. Yarrick has shown this magic ket- tie all over Europe and America, aud he has been making a tremendous gen sation with t in New York and Ph:.a- delphia- He has made arrangements with Manager Poli to exhibit the k..ttle at Polls New Haven theater all next week. and there are signs that the Ket- tie will be an equally big sensation here.
