say about it: =
Mrs. Frank Fletcher, wife of
Frank Fletcher, packer in the
enamel WORKS, living at the corner
of Third street and Washington
avenue, says: eff a severe pain in
the small of the back just across
the loins which chung to me per-
sistently for some time is any In
dication of kidney complaint,
then | had it far too long to be
pleasant. Doan's Kidney Pills
came to my notice and | went to
a drug store for a box. Relief
followed the treatment quickly
and finally the aching ceased.
This was not my first acquaint-
anceship with Doan's Kidney
Pills for Mr.. Fletcher used the
remedy two years ago for pain
and lameness in his back. The
results he obtained from it's use
positively proved that as a spe-

How Poison of Cobra Acts.

The venom Of the cobra contains
ON ingredient not well known that
acts upon the nerves. It's effects are
rapid and difficult to counterfeit.
This ingredient exists in the cobra's
venom to a greater extent than the
other substances that make up the
poison. The poison Of the viperine
and crotaline snakes (the rattle
szake, copperhead, moccasin, ETC.
contains but a small percentage Of
this nerve destroying or paralyzing
element. The poison of these snakes
acts principally upon the blood and
in consequence its action is slower

kinassd Oil Keeps Bare Pine Floors In
Coed Condition
Speaking Of bare floors" said
one Of . party Of ladies, you al
know how beautifully spiek and
span Mrs.. LIS tioars always are.
and they are Of soft pine too. Well,
/ asked her the other day the secret
Of it, and her answer was: Ilnseed
oil and elbow grease. A very little
of the former and as much OF the
latter as1 can get
"She said that primarily the
floors were treated to thin coat OF
oak stain, then oiled, as little oil
as was practicable being applied,
but well rubbed in and always with
the grain of the wood. She never
oils oftener than once a month, and
each oiling is preceded by a spong,
ing with warm suds, which prevents
the wood becoming too dark and re-
moves any dust which may have ad,
hered to the floors. In the interval
from one oiling to the next the
floors are simply busted with a Sol
mop."-New Idea Magazine.

When Vaughan washed Windows.

When Vaughan washed Windows.
Sir Francis Burnand was at one time
with the Oblates Of st. Charles at
Bayswater when Manning was sup%
rior and Vaughan was novice master.
For q jest which had made his Fellow
novices laugh at solemn moment Fa'
Their Vaughan. as he then was, con
demned Sir Francis to clean a case
ment window and volunteered to show
him how to do it. Thereupon he step
ped out to the liberal window sill, his
cassock futtering in the friendly wind,
which, moreover shut the window. The
hasp was then turned. and, the dinner
bell ringing, the refractory novice went
down to the refectory. In mid meal the
superior became aware Of little
crowd in the roadway gazing upward.
What was the vision? A brief invesd-
CATION resulted in the release Of Father
Vaughan and also Of the novice. "Ion
a priestr' exclaimed the superior. go
and make boots" You still commit to
one the care Of solos," was the parting
sally Of the future editor OF Punch
london Chronicle.
A Trick of the Trade.
One of the mean htth, if cute,
tricks of Washington market vege-
table dealers is turning the price on
customers. Take, say, asparagus.
You will find piece of pasteboard
on a stick marked "15 cents" II
disposed to haggle for bunch at
10 cents, or two for a quarter, the
merchant will laugh sardOnically
and say: Look at that, ny friend.
I've just dropped the price 5 cents
q bunch" He turns the pasteboGrd
sign around, and YOU see the other
side, ''20 cents" Approaching the
concession, you greediIy snap at Is
cents a bunch, and when you have
gone your way rejoicing he and his
partner exchange winks. - New

HAzELHURsT CASE sT1TI. ,N

HAzELHURST CASE STILL ON. {
 At the trial of Charles F. Hazelhurst. the state policeman accused of solicit ing, in the criminal common pleas court yesterday morning, some rather inter- esting disclosures were made by Mrs. William Bell of 147 Congress avenue, whom Hazelhurst is said to have ac- costed on the street on the night of March 24 last for immoral purposes.
 In the course of his questions of the witness, MT. Woodruff brought out the fact that Hazelhurst. his wife and At torney Arvine had been to her house on one occasion at least to thank her and her husband for what they had done for him in the trial of the case in the city court.
 Another statement made by Mrs. Bel which was strong point for the de- fense, was in effect that Hazelhurst did not at any time make an improper pro- posal to her.
 Police Sergeant Gibson, the first wit ness called by the state yesterday morn ing, testified to being on the desk at the central station when Hazelhurst was brought in, and, that he had to ask him three times what his name was before he got the right one. Te case went over until this morning.

 Locality Argument is to Make No
 Difference. #S'[- # Hartford, April 25.-The Hon. Samuel
 Fessenden will open headquarters at the Allyn house Wednesday for the senatorial contest, and will be in the city most of the time until the end is
 reached. Congressman Frank B. Bran
 degee of New London will also have Headquarters at the Allyn house. The
 fact that John H. Roraback of Canaan
 has taken Allyn house headquarters lends color to the view that ex-Govern- or George F. Mclean is to enter the lists actively at. the start. He has the
 support of United States Senator Bull Kelley, who says the locality argument will not make any differences with ex- Governor McLean's support. Precedents are pointed out for Hartford's having two United States senators at the same time. That was the case in 1854, when Francis Gillette and Isaac Toueey were in the national senate together. MT. Roraback was for Governor Bulkeley
 in January, using the whole of his in- fiuence in Litchfield county for the ex- governor. He will turn the columns
 which he controls to the Mclean wing of the contestants. Senator Paige con finues to be potential force in the field. The support which Senator Bull kelley is giving to the Mclean organiz- CTS was expected at first to be for ex- Speaker Paige, who has been the fore- most of the Bulkeley captains in the past. It, has. been understood through the session that Senator Paige would be entitled to anything that he might ask for from the United States senator. The ambitions of Senator Paige for the governorship were in line with Senator
 Bulkeley's political calculations. That fas been evident from the newspaper support here, which has been extended to Senator Paige as a candidate for governor The attitude of Senator Bull
 kelley will be studied with great inter. est during the coming week. No one
 doubts the loyalty of Senator Fessen-
 den's supporters. The men who sup-
 ported him in January for the highest
 honor that the state can give will stand I by him solidly in the present contest,
 His strength in Fairfield county will
 not be decimated by any attempted di- l visions that may be planned. Many | men in the legislature in January wilo
 wanted to vote for. his nomination will now be at liberty to take that course.

Faithful Employe.
 Henry Woodward this morning re- ceived d pamphlet issued by the Cin- cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railway company, as testimonial to Frederick Henry Short, who served the road with great faithfulness from 1852 until last January, when he retired from active Business life. Mr. Short was born in this city September ?, 1925, and entered the employ of the above company Jan- uary S1, 1852. His morning duties at that time were to sort tickets received from the conductors, and in the after noon he was employed at the freight yards checking freight into the cars. Subsequently, until 1Ss7, he was a con- ductor and paymaster. May 5, 1857, he was elected secretary and treasurer, and served until he was chosen presi- dent on April, 1, 1874. Three years later he resigned and was again chosen sec retary and treasurer, serving until Jan- uary of this, year.. MT. Shorts zeal and integrity had happy illustration in 1888 at a crisis in the financial affairs Isof the company, when the credit was temporarily impaired, by obtaining on his own personal pledge sufficient tc meet the obligations then due.

Robinson, who supported Gen eral Hawiey in the first republican eau GUS that nominated Senator Platt. Aft CT a long series of ballots had been taken, showing the Jewell and Flaw ley strength to be about equal, sthe leaders on both sides met under asflag of truce for a few minutes for the pur- pose of considering the possibility of a new candidate, it being recognized that the two principal contestants up to that moment could not win out. The name of Robinson was suggested, and Sem ator John H. Hills of Hartford was delegated to confer with the noted Hartford representative. In the confer ence MT. Robinson emphatically refus- ed to have his name used. ''Under:no circumstances" he said, can my name be considered while General Hawley is a candidate for the nomination" "5a. In the break in the Jewell forces for Sen ator Platt that took place immediately after the conference Senator Hills, who was a prominent Jewell man, decided to go to Senator Hawley, and remained in the Hawley column during the rest of the balloting. The course of Senator Hills in supporting General Hawley when Governor Jewell's candidacy was abandoned, was regarded as favorably 7 in Hartford as was MT. Robinson s in refusing the use of his name as. a candidate against General Hawley.
