PLATT MILL PLANT FIRE
Started Early This Morning and Kept
 the FiTenen Busy All Forenoon.

A fire that gave Chief Snagg and his men something to do was discov- cred shortly after 6 o'clock this morn ing in the brick structure at the north west corner of the Platt Mill Co.'S plant, 30 Benedict street. which was filled with hay, oats, bran and beer, practically all of which with the ex- ..ceHioA. Of the beer went up in smola a -or wasSp badly singed that it ,yas I total loss.
 The fire was discovered by some of the railroad men, who notified the watchman and an alarm was sent in. At that time the flames had got quite a good start and as fl is q bad spot for big blaze, being right in the heart of the lumber district and but q short distance from the Naugatuck passenger station, all the companies with the exception or Burton and North Willow streets were pressed in- to service. and from the time the first stream was turned on until well along ilf the forenoon the firemen had a tough time of it. It was under control after half an hour pr so. but it was a big job to extingrish what had started to burn, and the smoke was so dense that the men worked under great dis advantage, The beer. which belonged to the Narfagansett Brewing Co. was cared for first, not because of any special regard for that kind of stuff, but on account of the fac; that it was on the ground floor and 1t. was an easy thing to roll the kegs and barrels into the yard. Not cupfuii of il was ! spilled. The baled hay, oats, and bran suffered both from water and fire and although great deal of the stock was taken out il was good for noth- | ing.
 The damage to the building will not amount 10 much. but 1t Is estimated that when everything is figured in the sum total of the damage, will foot LID something in the neighborllood of S5,- O00. It is insured. There Is no explaIia- ton as to the origin of the fire. The watchran was through the building during the night and noticed nothing unusual. It is quite likely that it was ease of spontaneous combustion. The iiremen worked with vengeance and 1t was astonishing how they op- erated so well in the blinding smoke. George Camp appreciated the efforts of the men and treated them to sand witches and hot coffee.

0'D0NNELL IN COURT.
Judge Burpee Wouldn't Hear Case,
 So It Goes Over Till Monday.

A man of many aliases is John Fisher, alias Davenport. He was be- fore Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with intoxication. Sergeant Cahey last night found him at the junction of Meadow and Bank streets chasing children. He was fined sl0 and costs.
 For intoxication owen Dwyer was fined S5 and costs; Carrie Allen the same amount; John Foley s10 and costs and William Cornell s5 and costs. A case against Stanlo Dam- brokus was continued to tomorrow. He is charged with over-speeding his bicycle.
 Joe Rosenbaum has contributed over si00 during the past year to the city court in his efforts to live an honest life. He was up" again to- day charged with dealing in junk without a license to do so. He said that his son Jacob has a license and because they live together on William street he thought he might do little business on his own hook under his sons license. It cost him s25 and the trimmings to learn that he could not do so legally.
 John H. O'Donnell was charged with breach of the peace. Judge Bur- pee preferred not to hear this matter, though Mir 0'Donnell and his eoun. sel. Attorney 0'Neill. were willing that he should do so. But the judge said he would not hear it. He knew too much about 1t. After some dis cussion the ease was remanded tC Monday when Judge Peasley will hear it.

REVENUE FROM POOL.
Cafe Proprietors With Tables Must
 Pay Sl0 Per Table.

If the saloon keepers around town who keep pool tables had any idea that they would be compelled to cash up SIC for the purpose Of keeping table in their place Of business they most certainly would have made a big holler when the ordinance was pass ed. But as is the case in regard 10 many ordinances that are passed the cafe men did not think that it would affect them in the least. To their sOT- row they are beginning to see a headlight on the track and it looks as if they had no way of getting away from paying the ten bucks.
 Yesterday afternoon the police took a look al a few of the places where the worries roll, hut where the owners as yet have not paid their H. cense. If the proprietors refuse to make good in all probability they will be brought into court where 1t will cost them a few extra dollars.
 Although it was thought that those places which have tables but do not charge would not be compelled to pay. ssflI it would appear as 1T the law hits them as well as the other fellows. Even though the sa- loon man may not charge 2ia esnts a cue. still one is supposed to set 'em up" after each game and this brings a large amount of trade to the owner This is the opinion of the police department and the fellows who endeay0r to avoid paving the sf0 on this ground are not likely to get by.
 There are between sixty and sew euty saloons in town which have pooI tables and the IIce1se fee from ihesa together with that which would te received from the regular billiard rcsrus would amount to more than s1-eo0

LOST
WOMAN
FOUND
Mrs. Antoine Blerward Is
Visiting Friends In ThurstOn
County Washington

Mrs. Rose Bierward. wife of An
tone Bierward, of Gervais, who mys-
teriously disappeared from her home
last Sunday evening, and who has
been extensively advertised and
looked for. has been located.
She is not insane and no harm
has befallen her. Her disappearance
had nothing mysterious about it,
only her family did not know where
she had gone. 1t is generally konwn
at Gervais that the disappearance
was the outcome of a family Jar of
more or less severity. 1t is said
that Mrs. Bierward was dissatisfied
with certain conditions in her house,
hold, and on Sunday gave out an ul-
timatum to the effect that If certain
things occurred Sunday she would
leave home. 1t Is said that the
events did transDire. and that the
woman left.
There was no trace of her leaving
and her husband offered a reward of
$50 for her recovery, dead or alive.
This reward was afterwards in
creased to 800.
The mystery was solved last ev-
ening when her son got a letter
from the missing woman. who is Wis
iting at the home of friends at Little
Rock, Thurston county, Washington.
What the contents of the letter were
no one except the family knows. Mr..
Bierward, Jr., has gone to Washing
ton to see his mother. and attempt
to bring her home.

Crapsey Heresy case which has been
agltating the diocese of western New
York for a considerable time past
was continued here today. The Rev
DR.. Algernon s. CraDsey, of Roches-

of heretical practices appealed from

functions of minister until such
time as he shall satisfy the eccleslas-
tical authority OF the diocese that his
belief and teaching conform to the
doctrines of the apostles creed and

hath received the same" Mr.. II.
Sheppard and Congressman ]. p.
Perkins OF Rochester, appear as
counsel for DR.. Crapsey, and John
Lard o. Brien as church advocate
representing the standing committee
which brought the charges. Many
friends of DR.. Crapsey and number
of parIshioners were present. At
present there is no higher court to
which an appeal could be taken from
the decision OF the court of review
although there Is a movement In the
church to create one in order that
the ecclesiastical system may con-
form more to the civil judiciary sys-'
tenn. DIR. Crapsey stated at the last
hearing that the Episcopal Church
of the Constitution and its founders
had pattern It more on the lines of
the articles of confederation which
accounted for the present system.
The case will occupy at least three
days.

Peggy stewart Day

Annapolis. Oct. 19.APerry Stew
arts day commentaries the burning
in the harbor here on October 10,
l1774, just before the outbreak of
the revolutionary war, of the brig
Peggy Stewart, which had brought
into the port a ton of tea. the plant
so detested at that time by every
patriotic colonist. The vessel was
named after the handsome daughter
of its owner; Anthony Stewart, a
Scotch merchant Referring to the
action taken by the patriotics when
the vessel arrived with its obnoxious
cargo the Baltimore Patriot of Janu-
airy 29, 1913 says: when the par
ty first entered the city and was
passing on they met Stewart who
was bold in opposition. But his
threats only served to increase their
determination. They erected a gal
lows directly before his house, by
way of intimidation, then gave him
his choice either to swing by the
halter or to go with them on board
and put fire to his own vessel. He
chose the latter and in few minutes
the whole cargo, with ships tackle
and apparel was in flames. This act
decided the course. Maryland had
to pursue and had an extensive in
fluence upon public opinion" Nc
Mahon in his history of Maryland
says "The tea burning in Boston
has acquired renown, as an act of
unexampled daring at that day in
the defense of American liberty.
But the tea burning at Annapolis,
which occurred In the ensuing fall,
far surpasses 1t in the apparent de-
liberation and utter carelessness of
attending the bold
which led to its accomplish
ment. The insistence, in its mani
festation of public feeling, is of a
character with those which occurred
in other parts of the province, and
they evence the prevalence through
out 1t of the most determined and |
restless opposition to the measures |
of the British government"

his rotund, p-osperous-lookin
friend. Here I've been eatin' three
times a day. and sometimes twice a
day, for so years and look at me.
I'm rawboned and skinny, still at the
bottom of the ladder. sour on the
world, and pessimist. / know it,
and ! can't help 1t. If had 1t to do
over again, though, would take care

ever really relished a meal in my
life, not even mothers Christmas
dinners, and / firmly believe that
my way of eating or whatever 1t was,
brought along with 1t darkness and
impossibility of success"
You're right" nodded his com
panion. "Of course, that isn't al
ways the case. But In this age we
must not only Trust in the Lord and
keep our powder dry but we must
swallow sunshine with our food.
Cheerfulness, especially while eat
ing, which Is the most essential act
of man, is as necessary to him as
sunshine is to the flowers. Nothing
normal can be produced in darkness
But this is what you haven't
been doing, Mr.. Dyspeptic. Your
hroip apd your otop,oob rap,ambar
are twins. and you have to treat
them accordingly. Why not start
now and repair the damage you've
done It Is never too late, you know"
You mean at my age? And sup
pose you can't always get the sun
shine?"
Absolutely, yes. Science has
made It possible to get the sunshine,
the health and the strength that |
your stomach needs, all put up to-
gether in little tablets. They call
them Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the
most effective tablets In the world |
for this very thing. One ingredient
in these tablets digests 1000 grains
of food without the help of the stom-
ach. Two tablets after each meal |
can do more work, in digesting than
the stomach can itself. The stom-
ach need not work at all. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets does all the work,
and gives your jaded stomach n rest,
the rest 1t needs. Meanwhile you
cure yourself of brash, irritation,
burning sensation, heartburn, sour
stomach, acidity, fermentation, bloat
and the worst cases of dyspepsia and
indigestion. You get rid of these for
all time. An then, besides, you can
eat all you want, and you will also
relish mothers Christmas dinners II
you will take Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after eating. That's the
sunshine | was talking about. Then
your face will reflect the internal
change going on, you'll be more en-
ergetic, your mind will be clearer,
you'll be happier, and you'll be your
self again.
"Your heart will change and youth
feel rosy. Youll enjoy your meals
and live. Let's walk down to a

TO one little package OF these Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. You can get them
