GUST The DEMON
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demonla-
cal in the way coffee sometimes wreaks
1ts fendish malice on those who use II.
A lady writing from Calf says:
"My husband and 1. both lovers OF
coffee. suffered for some time from Il
very annoying form OF nervousness.
accompanied by most frightful head
aches In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF AZ
lection OF the nerves leading from the
spine TO the head.
II was unable 10 hold my head up
straight. the tension of the nerves
drew II TO one side. causing me the
most intense pain. We cot no relief
from medicine. and were puzzled as TO
what caused the trouble. till friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with il. and
advised that we quit II and try Pos
tum Coffee
ave followed his advice. and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began TO improve. and in a
very short time both of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more. the headaches
ceased. the muscles in the back OF my
neck relaxed. my head Strengthened
I'D and the dreadful pain that had SO
punished me while / used the old kind
OF coffee vanished
I'VE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee. but relish our Postum

Miss Agnes E. Platt and Arthur l.
Platt scored a notable success in their
entertainment at the Washington
Park Methodist church, East Bridge
port, last week Thursday evening.
The Bridgeport Post has this to say
Of the entertainments: A very merito-
rious concert was that given for the
benefit of the Ladies' Aid society Of
the Washington Park Methodist
church at the church last Thursday
evening. The entertainers we're Miss
personator, Arthur l. Platt, violinist;
Louis B. Sammis, violinist, and Harris
Stanlee Bartlett, organist and accom-
panist. The concert was an unquali-
lied success in every way. The attend
ance was large and the program we'll
selected and artistically rendered.
Tue program opened with "Duo Sym
phonic" for two violins, with piano
accompaniment, which was charming
ly played, by Messrs Platt, Sammis
and BARTLETT. Miss Platt gave two
numbers Of recitationS during the
evening which we're very much enjoyed
by everyone present and she was &C.
corded much we'll deserved applause
for her excellent impersonations. Miss
Platt is also the possessor of very
PAO0oA0S SSoAOC, Lay NdSOly ILL.,
proved since she was here last year.
She sang a suite of songs, "Indian
Love Lyrics" by Amy Woodford-
Finder, in an artistic manner, and
later sang Chaminades' Summer"
with voice Of beautiful timbre. She
closed the program by singing an aria
from Mendelssohn's St Paul and an
other "Be of Good Comfort" from
Governs Ruth" with violin, cello
and organ accompaniment. Miss Platt
further displayed her versatility by
playing artistic accomplishments to her
brothers. violin solos. Mr. Platt played
Alard's "Faust" fantasie for violin in
a manner calculated to win the plau-
dts Of everyone present. The piece is
long and full of technical difficulties,
which he overcame with ease, and he
displayed temperament such as not
one violinist in dozen possesses. In
addition he plays with a large fiery
tone which would be considerably
augmented If he had a better instru-
ment: Mr. Platt is pupil of Leslie
Vaughan.

PETER LORILLARD RONALD's WILL
MAKES PROVISION FOR WIDOW IN

Peter Lorillard Ronalds, the whip

died last October at bis home, No. lib
East Thirty-tifth street, left large
estate in which his widow, Mary Fran
ces ROnalds, from whom he had been
separated for number Of years, is to
participate. For many years Mrs RO-
maids and her daughter, Mrs Fannie
Ritchie, have been living in London
and they have waived citations in the
presence of the American COnSul-Gen-
eral In London. Part of Mr. ROnaldS'
reference to his widow is as follows:
"In case my present wife survive me |
authorize my said executors to agree
with her upon ansaaintment in her fav-
or for life of such portion OF my estate
as shall in their Judgment represent
the interest to which she shall be le-
gally entitled in my property, and l
further authorize them, If they shall
deem 1t expedient to do so, to cOmprO-
mise and settle with her by a gross
pay ment out Of my estate" Mr. Ro-
maids leaves the greater portion of his
estate in trust for his children and the
immediate members of his family.
Property at Bleecker street is be-
queathed to Miss Elizabeth N. Blake,
to which exception has been made by
Pierre Lorillard Ronalds, who disa-
VOWS the validity of that portion of
