FOR NEW LODGE ROOMS,

Hiram Lodge May Select New Quarters
 To-Night
 It is expected that at the regular meeting of Hiram lodge, F, and A. M, this evening action will be taken in re- gard to securing a lodge room, as tele lodge must soon move out of the Ma sonic building at Chapel and Union streets. The lodge intended locating in Masonic hall on Church street, but no satisfactory arrangement can be made about the use of the lodge room for Thursday evenings.
 It was thought that perhaps Frank lin chapter would consent to change It's meetings from Tuesday ito Saturday, so as to allow Trumbull to meet on the former evenings and so accommodate Hiram, but the chapter as it's meeting Tuesday night failed to do so.
 It was stated yesterday that Hiram lodge would now probably give up try ing to meet in Church street and hire a. lodge room elsewhere. It was stated that the lodge was founded in 175O and there were only two older lodges in the country. The members had been meet ing on Thursday for so many years that they would not give way now.

BRIDGE HEARING SATURDAY.

Public to be Heard on Mill River Peti-
 tion in Chamber of Commerce Hall.
 The public hearing upon the petition for the building by the city of a draw bridge over the west branch of Mil river in place of the present Barnes vile bridge will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon in Chamber oi Commerce hall.
 It is likely that if the opposition tc the bridge is not successful that the city will ask for an extension of time in which to carry out the.orders of the war department whicia has indicated that 1t desires the bridge built in Sep tenber, 1906. In a communication tc the board of aldermen, Mayor Studley recommends that the corporation coun sel be ordered to appear at the hearing in favor of the bridge, but requesting delay until January 1, 1908.
 Alderman Homans said that the city has no funds for building the bridge and it mus. Sa put off until the legisla- ture can grant another bond issue.
 Alderman Hotchkiss recommended that the corporation counsel be in. structed to appear at the hearing be. fore Colonel Powell, neither for nol against bridge, but simply asking al extension of time. The motion as thu, put was carried at the meeting of the board of aldermen Monday night.

BUTTERMILK
A surer Way Out.

The ''buttermilk fad" which it's fol- lowers insisted was the cure for all the ills that human flesh is heir to, has pretty well had it's day
 Butternilk Is a pleasant and healthy drink. but there are whole lot of de- sirable things that it cannot do. A Me- braska woman found something much more worth while. She says:
 s'Three years ago my stomach was in such a frightful condition that I could scarcely bear to take any food at all. Indeed there was once that I went for IA days without a morsel of nourish- ment preferring starvation to the acute agony that I suffered when I ate any thing. And all this entailed upon me almost constant headaches and nerv- ousness My condition was truly pitia- ble.
 "The doctors warned me that the cof- fee I drank was chiefly responsible for this condition, and ordered me to drink buttermilk instead. But despised but ternilk, and could not bring myself to use it.
 Then 1 was auVlseu lo tLy IosluIiI Food Coffee. It has completely renovat- ed and made over my whole system. The salutary effect on my poor stom- ach was simply marvellous, and that strengthened out, the headaches, nerv- ousness and other troubles soon vanish ed. For more than a year | have not felt any distress or pain, such as l once thought would kill me.
 'T can truthfully say that Postum has brought me the blessing of the per- feet healtt1 I enjoy, for gave up medi- cines when I began its use" Names given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Killingworth Man Has Life-Sized Curi-
 osities Attached to Water Wheel.
 Charles Coe, who lives in Killing worth, has arranged curious set of llfe-sized mechanical figures which are attached to a water-wheel in a brook near Mr. Goes farm. These figures all work on eccentrics attached to the wa ter-wheel. They are made to go through characteristic movements.
 There are eight of these figures and they cover space some twenty-five feet. There is an old negro 'mammy," who is beating time to her husbands s fiddle, This fiddle is strung with wires and is heard to some distance on a windy night. There are two pickanin- nies swinging, and there are two boys teetering on board. There is also an old man saving wood. These figures are made chiefly out of natural crooks of wood which Mir. Coe got from his woods, and they are all dressed in ap- propriate costumes and all work to- gether with precision. They form a queer spectacle and many come to see them.

THE ADKINS FUND.
f7 Charitable People Add to the Sum Already Subscribed.

The friends of the blind man, MT. Adkins, are daily adding to the fund
 being raised for. the unfortunate one.
 and it is their wish to place him be-
 yond all possible want in the future. The health of MT. Adkins has suffered by his confinement, and although the efforts of his friends have made him very happy, still he is in pitiable con- dition. It is hoped that some public spirited person will donate a hall, where a benefit can be held, as it is conceded that good local talent will come forward and report to John E. Bassett at the Gun Store, who has charge of the matter, and thus a first class programme be offered the public, possibly on some Sunday evening, which would draw a crowded house in aid of such worthy cause. A visit to the store of MT Bassett last even- ing showed the subscriptions to be
 growing, and speaks volumes for the
 charitable people of our city. Up to Tuesday morning the amount stood at $1S5. The following statement shows what has been donated since:
