A SUGGESTION
To the People of New Haven.

The articles appearing in some of our
 leading publications have created a
 good deal of discussion in New Haven
 in regard to advertised medicines, their
 reliability and power to cure, and as a
 local druggist, I, Wm. H. Hull, want to
 say to the people of New Haven that I
 believe one of the most reliable medi-
 cines that we have known in our drug
 experience, extending over long per-
 iod, is Vinol, the cod liver preparation
 made without oil.
 Vinol is not patent medicine; every thing in 1t is printed on the back label of every bottle, and it actually does contain in a highly concentrated form all of the medicinal, curative elements of cod liver oil taken from fresh cods' livers and without a drop of the sys- tenn clogging oil to upset the stomach and retard it's work, and this is why it is fast superseding old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions.
 Inasmuch as Vinol is therefore the latest scientific improvement of an old and standard remedy it is the greatest strength creator in the world for old people, weak, sickly women and chil- dren, nursing mothers and after a severe sickness. It cures hacking coughs, chronic colds and all pulmon- ary troubles. We positively guarantee to return money if 1t fails. '-Hull S Corner Drug Store.

STEINERT0NE PIAN0F0RTE, A Remarkable Instrument Offer ed at Wholesale. Prfces-Its
 Superiority over other

Gu hA " 7toESSults H-GltGA--lIA
 Superiority over other
 pnIxes. l The Steinertone Pianoforte continues to demonstrate it's su- periorty in all particulars over other makes. No better proof of this fact can be had than the interest taken in the StefnertOne by professional pianoforte play CTS and teachers in this. and other cities and also in the way they are substituting it for their own ' plano for use. in their studios. Another proof is the increased sales.
 The wonderful tona1 power of the SteinertOne, the remarka- ble rapidity of the key and it's hammer repitition; the delicacy of durability and fine finish of it's construction are qualities long admitted by experts. The Stefn- ertone is the acme of pianoforte, building and leaves nothing to be desired.
 As to the price, this also re- commends it to the prospective piano purchaser. It is most req sonable because the piano is sold at wholesale prices at the companys warerooms. Here the piano may be heard amid the simple sur roundings of factory free of all artificial acoustics that may enchance the power and beauty of it's tones.
 Saving the expense of ela- borate and costly warerooms the company is thus enabled to give the purchaser the best piano at the lowest price. This is an &C., ceptable offer and should not be missed. A careful, inspection is earnestly solicited. Cars pass within half a block of factory Five minutes ride from center of City Remember The SteinertOne Piano Co. 1o6 Park Street, New Haven, Conn.

our attention was arrested by a tre-

mediately by hollow drumming
sound, as If some one were beating
on the outer door with his fist. AS it
opened there came a tumultuous rush
into the hall, rapid feet clattered up
the stair, and an instant later a wild
eyed and frantic young man,
pale. disheveled, and palpitating.
burst into the room. He looked
from one to the other Of us, and
under our gaze OF inquiry he became
conscious that some apology was need

looked with interest upon this man
who was accused Of being the perpe-
traitor OF a crime Of violence. He was
haxen-haired and handsome in a
washed-out negative fashion, with
frightened blue eyes and clean-shav-
en- race, with weak, sensitive mouth.
His age may have been about q.

Underneath the vigorous headlines
which our client had quoted, read the
following suggestive NARRATIVES:
Late lastsnight, or early this mornx
ing, an incident occurred at Lower
Norwood which points, it Is feared, to
a serious crime. Mr.. Jonas Oldacre is a
well-known resident of that suburb.
where he has carried on his business
as a builder for many years. Mr..
Oldacre is a bachelor, fifty-two years
of age, and lives In Deep Dene House,
at the Sydenham end of the road Of
that name. He has had the reputation
OF being man of eccentric habits.
secretive and retiring. For some years
he has practically withdrawn from the
