one ounce cyanide of potassium in
four ounces of water. After a few

This is very elfectual, but the mix

handled with extreme care and care

The way boys run through their clothes is a caution. Keeping the av- craze boy in clothes makes quite hole in the family pocketbook-and there is no escape while boys will be boys, unless parents take advantage of just boys clothes now at Meigs & CO.'S of- fers them. Very liberal reductions have been made in the prices of suits, reefers and overcoats for boys of ali ages. In view of the continued raise in the price of wool, this sale at Meigs & Co.'s possesses unwonted interest, as all clothing will be higher in conse- quence. It will pay any mother of a boy to visit Meigs & Co.'s Annex, Bridgeport, and see the unGuestioned values now offered at such tempting prices

MRS MARY E. SANFORD.
FROM THE NEW HAVEN LEADER.

The death of Mrs Sanford removes a woman of great strength and pride of character. She was the daughter of Moses Parsons of Sandy Hook, Conn.,, a prosperous halter, and much re- spected citizen, who in the .'30s and early '4OS made the silk hats for a popular firm in )New York, when it was necessary to take them by team, first to New York and later to Nor walk. She was graduated from the school of Misses CrittentOn of Eliza beth, N. J., which was one of the fashionable schools of the day. It was there she studied music and upon her return to her native village her piano, which was the first one for miles around, caused sensation, and indeed it took the whole town, so to speak, to set 1t up. AS other pianos were bought by the villagers she it was who went with them to New York to make the purchase and the only one to teach them. so that she drifted into busi- ness which resulted in her being the agent in this city for the Weber pianos, and later for the Knabe pianos. She was descendant of two distinct lines of Adams, also of Gov William Brad ford and other old New England stock, and was truly lady of the old fashioned school and ideas. Although in her 10th year, hardly a day passed that she did not have her half hour at the piano ct dusk. She married in 1842 Capt Julius Sanford of Sandy Hook, Conn.,, who at the close of the Civil War returned to find his business burned out and health impaired, which resulted in the removal to this city. Two daughters survive her, Mrs Sher- wood E. Thompson and Mrs Clarence B. Bolmer of this city. There are also two brothers and sister to mourn her loss, William Parsons and Mrs John P, Beers of New Haven and John Parsons of Peekskill, N. Y., another brother. Edward, having died some years ago
 Besides these there are two half broth CTS, the Rev Arthur F. Parsons of Thomaston, and Charles Parsons of Sandy Hook, another brother being the late James B. Parsons of the Yale National bank. Mrs Sanford will also be remembered by many as the head of a fashionable boarding house on the site of the present "Traeger s." also later at the corner of York and Chapel streets, now the Yale University club. In th6Se days parents came with their sons and remained during the college course, so it is needless to say she and her family were surrounded with a most congenial atmosphere, that of culture and refinement. She was a member of Trinity P. B. church, a woman of deep friendship and gener. osity, and has gained at last "Peace, Perfect Peace" LIE. L. T.

DO NOT SUPPRESS A cOUdft.

When you have a cough do not try to suppress it, but remove the cause. The cough is only a symptom of some disease, and the disease is what you should cure, then the cough will stop of itself. The most common cause of coughing Is a cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress the cough, and pfep- aratiOnS containing chloroform, opium, etc, are used for that purpose, but they do not cure the cold. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy on the other hand does not suppress the cough, but relieves it by removing from the
 throat and lungs the mucus which ob- structed the breathing and allaying the irritation and tickling in the throat: It also opens the secretions and efectually and permanently cures the cold as we'll as the cough.

From almost any viewpoint the New York, New Haven and Hartford is one of the most interesting railroad proper ties in America. With comparative ly small mileage this road serves the business interests of one of the most thriving and thickly populated sections of our country, it's main line forming the only practical route between the great Metropolis and the city of the very heart of the best New Eng land territory. Upon the pay rolls of this company there are over 35,0O0 fellow human beings dependant upon the prosperity and welfare of the cor pOratiOn for their own and their fami- lies support, and this great army of employees represent as whole as sensible, as hard-headed, as competent and as loyal a body of rail cepting no section, nationality or corporation. The Employee is and has been for years reasonably familiar with the affairs of this great corporation. We have large number of readers all over the system, and we keep in close touch and constant association with the rank and file of the service. Our mission is not alone to print railroad news, but to print accurate news; in OGucF WOFuS UO C0ll the UTubu. we told the truth back in May, 1902, when we said that dissatisfaction prevailed throughout it's service, and that a change of management was absolutely essential to the prosperity of the com pany, and we have been telling the
 truth about the corporation and it's management ever since. When Charles S. Mellen came with the New Haven road in 1903, he was confronted
 with proposition which required man of sterling ability and undaunted courage to solve, and we believe and have always believed that MT Mellen 1 is such a man. When Percy R. Todd, | against his own wishes was induced to take full charge and assume the responsibility of the operating depart
 ment of the company in addition to the traffic, he to was brought face to l face with a condition of affairs which
 would have caused a man less brave to pause, tremble and hesitate at the
 magnitude of the task before him, the complexity of which we honestly be-
 lieve never before existed on an Ameri- can railroad; but Percy Todd is brave man, and from the time he started to fight the battle of life when he was fourteen years of age, as an operator at little station up in Canada, until the present, he never Shirked a duty or dodged responsibility.
 For years previous to the advent of
 the present administration, while every other line was spending millions
The Newtown bee., 1905-01-27

of money in the purchase of new equip ment, heavier and more powerful mo- tive power, new and stronger bridges to accommodate that power and in- creased terminal facilities, the New Haven in the face of constantly in- creaSing traffic, had as 1t were stood still. In other words every other great railroad system in the country was pre- pairing for the morrow, while the only apparent thought that actuated the New Haven management was of to-day. These were the conditions when MT Mellen came, and to extricate the property from these conditions he and MT Todd and every other loyal official of the company are exerting every ef- fort and Straining every nerve, and as rapidly as human energy and mechan-
 cal capacity will admit the road is being placed on a modern basis. Nor were the natural conditions alone, as bad as they were, all that confronted the new management. Scarcely had
 MT Mellen assumed his office when a rumor was circulated, and has kept on circulating since, t. the effect that there was conflict and friction between
 MT Mellen and MT Todd; that their views of management were not in har- mOny or accord, and that there was an entire absence of that cooperation of
 purpose so necessary to the success of any business undertaking. The ruuo
 was not confined to any ticular channel, but extended not only to ti-
 nancial circles, but among the rank and tile of the service, and for the past year it has been a choice mOrSel of 1n- discriminate discussion in "StOve Pipe" conclaveS at every round house, shop, terminal and passing point on the system. When it is positively
 known that there is not at present or never has been the slightest friction between MT Mellen and MT Todd. and that they are working in the utmost harmony in the upbuilding of the prop erty: when it is further known that this cruel and demOralizing rumOr was placed in circulation by persons actu- ated by ulteriOr motives to serve their own selfish ends; whenlit is known that both MT Mellen and MT Todd have
 borne the calumny of this base false. hood in absolute and dignitied silence,
 it is time that every right thinkt 9e
 man in New England and every em. ployee of the corporation came out in | the open with a declaration of un. yielding fidelity to the men who are destined to place the great New Haven system where it rig ghtfully belongs in
 the railroad world. This is the truth the whole truth, the unvarnished
 truth, and upon it's reliability the Elm
 ployee will stake it's reputation as g l publication that never knowingly tolo
 it's readers an untruth.|[R Railroad Elm

Developments in the East give added interest to two articles announced for the February Century, ''Korea and the Korean Emperor" by w. E. Sands, and "The Conflict in Finland" by David Bell Macgowan. w. F. Sands writes of what he knows, for he was formerly adviser to the imperial household of Korea. His article will be illustrated by a portrait of the Emperor of Korea from the painting from life by Hubert Vos. David Bell Macgowan will be remembered for his interesting treat ment, in recent issues of The Century, of "A Russian LourdeS" and "The Cossacks." His account of present day conditions in Finland will be illus trated by number of portraits of the chief actors.

For over eight years he was professor of English literature in the University of Notre Dame, Indi- ana. and for the last ten years he has been professor of Comparative Litera- ture in English in the Catholic Univer- sity at Washington. MT Egan s friends regard his ''Sexton Maginnis" stories, now appearing in The Century, as representing his best prose qualities. Among the admirers of these stories are President Roosevelt, who openly complimented the author, and the French Ambassador, who recently in- scribed his latest volume in honor of Maginnis. MT Egan's latest "Sexton Maginnis" story, "The Seclusion of Rosalia," appears in the February Century.

Lost Their Nerves.

The joke is on some OF theB. & O.
officia S, who started out few days
a 20, to break the record and make
the run from Cumberland to Balti-
more in four hours. Mr.. w. B.
Blackwell, superintendent of locomo-
tives, undertook to run the engine ;,
and soon had her going at 90 miles
an hour 1t was not long before the
nerves OF the officials began to weak.
en- and they concluded thai they pre-.
ferred to do their record breaking in
their offices. and Mr. Blackwell was
requested to jog along on schedule
time. He would in all probability,
have performed the feat if he had not
been inter erred with. There is a sus-
picion that the idea took possession
OF the minds OF the officials inst afte r
dinner but that the effects soon wore
of under the influence of the shak-
ing up.
