A happy home is the most valuable
possession that is within the reach of
mankind, but you cannot enjoy its
comforts if you are suffering from
rheumatism. You throw aside bust
ness cares when you enter your home
and you can be relieved from those
rheumatic pains also by applying
Chamberlain Pain Balm. One ap.
plication will give you relief and its
continued use for short time will
bring about a permanent cure. Fol

A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Last Friday evening, the air was
thick with moisture and the earth
with mud. All was quiet and peace
full at the home Of Mr. and Mrs Seabu-
ry; when suddenly dancing lights and
brigade Of soft stepping feet, with
dinner bells and policeman's whistle
marched into their castled house to
give them royal welcome on the 25th
anniversary of welded life. The
depth Of their surprise was equal to
the soft soil of all outdoors. 1t was a
jolly company of 30 to 40 neighbors
and friends, who brought good wishes,
cake, coffee and eatables and few
choice silver gifts, Edward Zeiner Of
Torrington brought a fine Edison
photograph, which discoursed the
popular songs and music of the day.
Mrs A. G. Titus, Miss Mary McGrath
and Miss Nellie Irwin gave piano mu-

LIME ROCK IS BOOMING

That Lime Rock is somewhat of a
hustling town is proven by the follow
ing figures: During March 129 car
loads Of freight were received while
the forwarding amounted to Isl full
car loads. This makes something like
1000 net tons handled for the month.
This business continues about the
same the year around.

WRITES.
Mary, wife of Emile Mettez, died
Saturday morning, March 81, the re.
suit of an accident week ago. She
had prepared some biscuits for baking
which we're on the moulding board
she was carrying, when her little three
year old boy impeding her movements
caused her to bring one corner Of the
board with force against some object,
the other end striking her and causing
internal injuries from which she died.
She was a native of Germany and
came to Connecticut when about 18
years OF age. A few months later she
married Andrew Wathley, whose
death, in January, 1899, left her with
seven children, all of whom are living
and for whom she worked hard and
bravely cared for as only mother can.
In October, 1901, size married Mr.
Mettez, who is left with two little
boys, the youngest not quite year
old. Her funeral was largely attended
at the Catholic church in Kent, Mon
day, with burial in Cornwall Bridge.

Washington. Sept. 5.-Long marches

provided for IN recent orders pertaining
to annual camps of instruction. are dis
approved by Brigadier General William
s. MeCasley, commanding the south
western division in his annual report 10

he says, will have a decided and disas-
trous effect upon re-enlistments. Com
menting upon the general dissatisfac-
ton, General McCaskey says:
1.-The practice marches as now order
ed and the prospect of repetition OF
this summers long encampments and
the extended marches incident thereto.
are looked upon as an unnecessary
hardship. American soldiers are think
ing men and reason to the effect that
while any hardship that is necessary
will be endured those not necessary
will be evaded. It is believed that the
infantry soldier upon re-enlistment will
be found in the coast artillery.
Il am of the opinion that camps of in
structfon as now conducted are too long
in duration. Three weeks in camp
should be sufficient. Marches should be
less than 100 miles. Anything beyond
this is unnecessary and is disapproved
of by the majority of officers and men
whom I have interviewed on the sub
ject."

NEARLY all authori-
ties agree that dark colors
will be the vogue for fall,
and indications point more
strongly toward brown
than toward any other one
color, though it seems
doubtful that brown will
be worn as it was two
years ago.
Wine-Navy and various
grays are represented
among the new arrivals, as
well as brown-plain col
ors in the broadcloths,
shadow checks in the light
worsteds and broken
plaids in the heavier wool
en- suitings.
IN separate Coats the
models are built mainly
upon the lines of the
Prince Chap styles to
80 inches long and semi
fitting.
One that's we'll adapted
for early wear is a 45-inch
coat made of a check ma
terial, $3.50. The others
$3.50 to $25- are mainly
made of medium-weight
cloakings.
THE new models in sep
arate skirts, so far, con
sist mainly Of plain color
ed Panamas, plated in nu-
merous pretty styles.
Though there are mix
lures and shadow checks
that are fine.

At least forty-five mod
els of women s fall suits
$40 to $65-are already
here. Does it seem strange
that we should be giving
YOU the news this early,
while summer things are
being worn? Not sO-for
many young women who
are about to go away to
school will need another
cloth suit, and other wom-
en- who always like first
choice will find these suits
in weights suitable for inn
mediate use-and they're
selling.
A MONTH ago it seem
ed as if the long Prince
Chap Coat would lead the
suit-styles; but while we
werein New York, makers
began waking up to the
fact that a woman who has
a long separate coat Will
not want another long coat
with her suit, and so the
strongest suit tendency is
now for the shorter fitted
coat-three or four inches,
perhaps, below the waist
line, or the Blouse
style, which lends itself to
garnitures nicely and
makes a more dressy suit
than the other. Most of
them have long sleeves,
though the three-quarter
sleeves will be worn to
some extent.
\ x
THOUGH it's heavier,
perhaps than the plain
round skirt, the plated
skirt is the one to buy this
fall. In these new suits
the skirts show quite a va
riety of plating.

Suffering From SecIusion.

Rome, Sept 5.-Some Of the olcer
delegates of the congregation of the

the seclusion and fasting entailed by
the ouadrivium. Anti-clerical societies
wishing to protest against the growth
of the religious orders here are organ
izing a meeting Sunday next at Castel
Gandolfo, the former summer residence
Of the popes. As Cardinal Merry Del
Val the papaI secretary of state is
there 1t is most likely that the police
viii prevent the meeting from being
