tate they will inherit Is believed to be
very large. Mrs. Barnes was born In
Ireland, but came to the United States
when a child. After her marriage TO
Barnes, who was very wealthy. she lived
in Mobile. During the yellow fever epi-
denies she came to Louisville, staying
with her mother here for several months
at time. She went to San Francisco
later and from there to Kiel, where her
husbands relatives lived. Mr.. Barnes
died about twenty-five years ago, leaving
all his property to his wife. He was said
to be very wealthy.
Mrs. Barnes frequently visited Louis
Vile from 1870 to 1875, but her relatives
saw little of her, for she was unusually
quiet. She was noted for her magnificent
diamonds and was reputed immensely
wealthy. She told her relatives that her
agent here misappropriated large part
of her fortune, but it was afterward said
she had recovered 1t.
Mrs. Barnes had a child with her whom
it was supposed she had adopted. but she
! told her sister she had never legally
adopted him. and that as soon as he was
21 he would be placed upon his own re-
sources. After her departure from Louis
| vile her relatives corresponded with her
for a time. then communication gradu-
| ally ceased.

Local railroad men were pleasantly
surprised yesterday when the an
nouncement was made through the, Of
fees of the Southern Pacific Company
that William McMurray. for the last
year assistant to the manager of the

ing upon his duties at the ST. Francis.
and for a long time he was an assistant
to Assistant General Passenger Agent
James Horsburgh Jr. of the company
The fact that Traffic Director Stubbs
selected man outside of the com
pany's service for the lucrative position
i'm Portland has plainly suggested to
the local railroad world that McMur-
rays ability in the past has been keen
ly appreciated byohis superiors.

Signed by Governor Roberts--None
 Vetoed.
 Governor Roberts has signed fifteen public and 121 special acts since the be- ginning of the session. This shows that a wholesome policy has been pursued. No bill has yet received his veto. In 1901 Governor Mclean passed the whole session without a veto. Governor Bulk eley's veto record was in the opposite direction. In general the veto power of the governor in Connecticut is not fre- quently exercised. Ex-Lieutenant Gov erner George G. Sumner, who has been in the south during the last two months arrived home Saturday night. With a single exception he is senior on the list of surviving ex-lieutenant Governors in the state, the Hon. George G. Sill preceding him by ten years. Of the nine surviving eX-lieutenant governors five, Messrs. Sill and Sumner, James L. Howard, Ernest Cady, and Henry Rob- erts belong, in Hartford; two, Samuel E. Merwin and James D. Dewell, in New Haven, and one each in Middlefield and Norwalk, Lyman 4. Mills and Edwin 0.

DRUG HABITS
Easily Formed But Hard to Break.

A man down in old Virginia tell of his experience which points a simple and effective way out. He says:
 About 15 years ago my wife, through using coffee and laudanum for relief of neuralgia, became addicted to the hab- its. continuing until she had about de- stroyed stomachneryes and mind This brought on periods of dementia lasting from one to two weeks, growing stead fly worse until the Sd of August last year our family physician called in con- sultation another doctor, who had been resident physician at our state insane asylum.
 .They decided the only hope was to place her in a sanitarium, otherwise she would be hopelessly insane before the year was out On investigation we found the charges for such a patient beyond our means so it was necessary to face the worst at home .
 Upon the advice of friend she stop ped the use of coffee, of which she was very fond, and began the use of Postum Food Coffee as a remedy for the con- stipation which accompanied the at Jacks. The result was more than we expected. It not only relieved the con- stipation greatly but aided her to break the laudanum habit for when she found herself possessed of the de- sire5to take something cup of strong Postum would allay the desire and sootIe and refresh her. .,.s-
 .'This led to the regular use of Pos- tufn, and Grape Nuts that also seemed to ,nourish and strengthen the over- wrought nerves, she steadily got better and better and to-day instead of being in the insane asylum she is still with us in her own home, sounder in mind and body than for several years past. The attacks of dementia have steadily grown milder and less frequent until now we have every reason to believe that she will soon be fully restored sound in mind and body.
 T know this has been accomplished entirely by the aid of Postum and Grape-Nuts, for not since that consult tation over year ago has she taken a particle of medicine of any sort
 s'In writing this my greatest desire is to bring the use of your products to the notice of some other unfortunate, trembling upon the brink of that most terrible of all calamities, insanity, and I thoroughly believe and know that leaving off coffee and other drugs and taking good food and drink is the sur est means by which it can be averted. I give the name of our family physi- clan, also the consulting physician, who can youch for the truth of what I have written. You are at liberty to furnish name and address to anyone really in- terested" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich. s..

aPEGGY FROM PARIS"

Poor Presentation of Ade's Comedy.
 Peggy from Paris" at the Hyperion last evening was a stale second season presentation. The only surviving merit is the comedy and pathos which is really Ade's. The music and actors are mediocre. A bitter comment on the con trast of legitimate comic opera and the frothy musical comedy is the fact that ''Fatinitza,' of twenty years ago, was a brilliant success at the Hyperion last week, while Peggy" though all the rage in its first season, is a failure in its second.

graduated frOm Yale college flfty-three

graduated from Yale college fifty-three years ago and is well along toward the seventy-fifth mile post. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Sumner was the trained par liamentarian in the senate in 1883, pre- siding with acknowledged success throughout the session. Governor Sill as he is universally known in Hartford, was the last presiding officer in the old senate chamber, which is now used by the Hartford board of aldermen in the city hall. The father-in-law of Governor Sumner, the late Lieutenant Governor David Gallup, was the first who presided through a full session in the present senate chamber. Governor Sumner followed speedily in the steps of Lieutenant Governor Gallup, taking the gavel in the senate two years after it was lain down by the distinguished representative of, eastern Connecticut
 The present presiding officer of the sen ate Lieutenant Governor R. $. Wood- ruff of, New Haven, possesses traits not unlike the popular ways of MT. Sumner. He is cordial, genial and warm hearted. Everyone likes him in the senate and he has deserved in every way the per- sonal appreciation which has been ex- tended to him this winter. Ex-Lieuten- ant Governor Keeler has been in the capitol two or three times since Janu- ary. But the visits of past presiding officers of the senate are few and far between. Perhaps it would be better, if these visits took place oftener. They are always pleasant and awaken scores of enjoyable memories.

There is one rational way to treat na-' sal catarrh; the medicine is applied di- rect to the affected membrane. The remedy is Ely's Cream Balm. It re stores the inflamed tissues to a healthy state without drying all the life out of them and it gives back the lost senses of taste and smell.
