MONDAYS TORNADO AND HAIL STORM
 The most disastrous storm that has
 visited New Milford in many years
 passed over the town, Monday after noon, when growers of tobacco and
 buildings were damaged to the extent of $2O,OOO or more. Hail fell for 10 one mile in width north and south. E. A. Wildman told BEE reporter it was the worst hail storm he ever witt messed. During the storm the tin roof on the tobacco warehouse of Fl. o.
 Warner was blown off, landing in the street. MT Warmers loss will be about $45O. The enterprising firm of Ackley,
 Hatch & Marsh hired the building and were damaged about S40O on grain. A fter the tin roof was taken otf the rain came into the building in tor rents. The worst sufferers in damage to tobacco by hail were Hon Nicholas George Ferris. E. B. and E. O. Marsh had tobacco barn blown a foot off it's foundations Hannon Couch had a horse hitched in the building at the time which had a close call from death. The building is practically wreck. An immense maple tree was blown down in front of B. F. Humis- tons house on Main street. Two trees were blown down in the. yard of Mrs William Schoverling afd one in the yard of Hon H. s. Mygatt. A large tree near George Greens was blown down. Near the residence of Merwin Andrews across the river number of apple and elm trees were twisted off and broken. The rain poured in tor rents for about an hour, many of the streets being flooded. Down Bridge and West streets a small river ran, the sewers being inadequate to take the water.

INTERVALS MEET DEFEAT IN DANBURY
 The Imperial baseball team are get ting quite a reputation for fast play ing. On Saturday they went up against the Danbury nine but were de- feated by the score of nine to two. The game was lively and warmly con- tested most of the time and there was good playing on both sides. Johnson pitched for the Danbury team and ac- quilted himself we'll. He struck out eight men and gave the same number of hits, while he gave but one base on balls. A double play by Johnson, Riley and Griffin, was feature or the game. Stenson, who is suddenly de- veloping a propensity for hard hitting, knocked out three bagger, something he has done in the last three games. Four runs of the Danbury score were made in the seventh inning, the score being close except for this inning. The score fOllOWS:

The Big Sea Race

Interest in the big Atlantic yacht from Sandy
Hook The Lizard is not confined to the devoees of sport
it is of substantial interest to the great ship building indus
try of the world and much to the great profession
of seamanship
The yachts in this the not trick boats
built for jockeyng The international yacht races of
years have been contests between vessels of similar
type constructed with mathematical nicely for speed
garess of endurance and sailed under strict rules which
put premium clever jockeying and minor tricks of
seamanship.
The present race is wholly different matter. The
tesants will have to meet thorough test in all phases of
the seamans art They free to take their choice of the
lanes and for days together they will have to study
how to make the most Of their opportunities 1t is
ship of the highest type that put to the test The nation
whose boat wins such contest will have substantial
to boast of its eminence in seamanshp.
The boats real boats fitted for real deep sailing
Whatever advantage in construction may be found to
have the others will be practical advantage worthy
perhaps of adoption in general shipbuilding.
AS trial of seamanship and of skill in the designing
and construction of boats this contest far exceeds in i'm
portance any other held in recent years

the ropes. He may not know any
thing about the game now, but when

The Equitable scandal is exception The troubles of

VeIvets Are Popular.

Velvet is the fabric par excellence
for late winter and early spring wear,
and when one says velvet nowadays
one means always chiffon velvet.
The discovery Of this particular weave
accounts almost altogether for the ma
terial's popularity, for the velvets OF
other days, although deep and rich in
tone and pile and with beautiful
sheen, lacked lightness and softness
and suppleness which are required in
all but gowns of state.
A beautiful Paris model which has
just seen the light is developed in the
much sought after velvet, and on the
lines of the quite as popular Redingote
model 1t is fashioned of reseda chif-
fon velvet, with skirt and waistcoat
of satin the same shade. embroidered
with reseda silk, chenille and silver
threads.
The Redingote as far back revival
attracts much attention from modistes
and women who dress, but other long
coat effects are shown. The Louis
coats are very popular, with their
many notifications, the Directoire,
and the Russian tunic. But the long
coat has not and it seems now can
not throw the ever popular bolero
into the shade. AS many boleros, If
not more, are shown now than ever.

Coats for Girls.

The genuine Louis or Directorie
coat is considered too old for girl
under IS, and, as matter of fact, de-
mands well developed and matured
figure; but the idea of the silk coat
worn with skirt of mOusseline. chif-
fon, ETC., is carried out in jaunty
bolero of silk worn over sheer
blouse and skirt for house and dinner
wear; and occasionally one does see
short full basqued little coat of silk
even upon the young girl, though in
this case the coat is usually modified
by the addition of a girdle or corded
girdle line, over which the coat
b1ouses, or in some other girlish fash
ion.
A wonderfully dainty little model
sent over from Paris for an 1S-year-
old girl had little bloused coat with
girdle and full short basques made
from white taffeta lowered in minute
pink and green rose sprays. The coat
opened in front over blouse front
of white mousseline and real Valen-
.ciennes, and the full skirt was of
white mousseline inset with Valen-
ciennes and painted in water color
with interlacing garlands of roses and
leaves in harmony with the design in
the Powered coat.

Doing Great Work.

Ward, Ark, March 6th.-(Special.)
From all over the West reports
come Of cures of different forms Of
Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this place is not without
evidence of the great work the Great
American Kidney Remedy is doing.
Among the cured here is Mr.. j. v.
Waggoner, a well known citizen, who,
in an interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done wonders for me. Ny
kidneys and bladder were badly out
Of order. l used many medicines, but
got nothing to cure me till | tried

them fixed me up so that have been

ney Pills and get we'll"

far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to
cure. They are the only remedy that
has ever cured Bright's Disease.

Latest in Trimmings.

New trimmings are many this sea
son and are being rapidly shown
Palette trimmings in delicate color.
and in opalescent tints have received
much favor. In pale blue, pink Of
gray they have the same iridescenct
as the opaline tints and are very ricf
in massed effects.
Chenille fringe is again being made
much of this season for trimmings
especially for evening coats an6
capes. They come in simple and elab
crate styles, and no more beautiful OF
favored garniture could be chosen.
Heavy crochet trimmings are seen
on the newest models of cloth gowns
with crochetted pendants to match.
The crochetted trimmings are also
seen on silk and velvet dresses.
Fancy stitching is revived again
if it has ever died. Some of the de-
signs are very intricate, and padding
is used at times, to make the design
stand out better.
