II had been told frequently that coffee
was injurious to me, and IL had not been

"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

in reply to your letter write you
my experience, and you are privileged
90 use II as you SEQ fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician Tor an obsti-
nate case OF eczema, / resorted to tho
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
"In July Of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
Of torturing sores. We used only the
CJtioura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
liesolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; 80 we have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are q valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
il costs from twenty 10 twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

EAIxs MARRIAGE WAS ILLEGAL
look Wife Without Consent of Con
 scrvator-Bills Now Coming In.

The question of the legality of the
 harriage of Edward w. Webb and |is wife came up before Judge Bur
 ee in the city court to-day. Attor-
 ey Guilfoile, representing James
 Webb, cOnservator over his brother 'ldward, claimed the marriage was |llegal as 1t was contracted while Edward was said to be incompetent Ind incapacitated and under the tuidance and care of conservator. He claimed that Edward should not have married without the consent of Ais conservator, no more than mi Aor can marry without the written (onsent of his guardian or parents. Otherwise the marriage is apt to be source of trouble and litigation. He also claimed that Edward was hot willing party to the marriage. Some time ago Attorney Hayes brought suit for Mrs Louise Cum mings, 229 North Main street, kgainst James Webb as conservator Tor board for Mrs Edward Webb. The refused to pay the bill md the suit is now pending in the superior court. A second suit was sfterward instituted, made return lble to the city court, and 1t was on demurrer in that that the question If the legality of the marriage came ID to-day. Judge Burpee decided hat the marriage was legal. The natter will go to the superior court.

St Joseph's T. A. society's fair opened at Eagles hall last evening. On account of an important business engagement Mayor w. F. Thoms was unable to open the affair. He will beson hand. however. on next Mon- day night. when he will close the bis event. The hall is handsomely dec- orated with the National colors and the booths around the hall are also tastefully dressed. Attractions on every side bewilder the spectator with their Coney Island aspect and "barkes" predominate everywhere. The act of the four London brothers is truly wonderful. The four broth CTS last night did stunts that were very thrilling and their act ought certainly assure big attendance each night. Tonight the street ps- rade and minstrel show will take place A special train will bring about TOO from New Britain. These will include the minstreis and q drum corps On arriving at the hall the drum corps will put on a fancy drill while the minstrels are making up. The hall. will undoubtedly be taxed to its capacity tonight. Dane ing to the music of Faulmann's or chestra was an enjoyable feature last evening and vill continue every night

BRUNO AND "BusrER." :"
Were the Cause of Trouble Between
 Neighbon on Griegs Street,

There was nothing doing in the city court to-day, the case against Mrs Ida Perkins of Griggs street having been settled. Mrs Anna Schlag, her neighbOr, was the com plaining witness, and breach of the peace was alleged. Dogs were the cause of the trouble. Both women own a dog and 1t seems the animals could no more get along together than their respective mistresses. One day last week Mrs Schlag's dog Bruno" chased Mrs Perkins Bus ter" all over the lots, caught up with him and bit his ear and drove him home yelping, Bruno" then kept clear of the Perkins home for some days, evidently knowing that Mrs Perkins had rod in pickle for him.
 In the course of a few days Mrs Perkins saw Bruno" basking in the sun with Mrs Schlag standing, about fifty feet away, hanging out clothes. Now was the time for revenge and Mrs Perkins set about to get 1t.
 She picked up a stone and threw it at the dog and struck Mrs Schlag. who as has been said was engaged about fifty feet away. Attorney Lynch, counsel for Mrs Perkins, held that no better evidence could be had that his client did not throw the stone at Mrs Schlag than the fact that she hit her. After considering the matter some time Prosecutor Meigs took this view of the situation and settled the case for t7.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
We'll Known People Who Have Been
 Called Away.

The community was shocked this morning at news of the death of Wil- liam ]. Schlegel, the well known real estate dealer. A week ago last Fri day he was brought home in semi unconscious state, suffering from heart failure. and fatal results were feared. But as the days went on he rallied and all danger for ths pres ent seemed averted. Last night at about 12 o'clock he declared that he felt considerably better, but towards morning change came and at 4:3C he passed peacefully away without conscious suffering. His death was simply falling asleep.
 Mir Schlegel was a son of Balthus and Mrs Rosina Schlegel, and was born in this city, December 28, 1853. Educated in the public schools and early entering into business, he spent all his life here and was one of the most familiar figures on the public streets of Waterbury. In his line of business he was prominent, and was considered shrewd and successful business man. His uniformly cour- teous manner won him many custom CTS and friends and he will be widely missed and mourned. In his home life MT Schlegel was always affec- donate and kind, a devoted husband and father. His sudden death comes as great shock and the sympathy of the city goes freely forth to those so sadly bereaved.
 On February 6, 1879, Mir Schlegel married Miss Mary s. Lewis, daugh- ter of the late E. c. Lewis, who with three children, Edward. Wilfred and Harriet, survive him. He also leaves his father and sister, Mrs D. Me Ireland of Detroit, Mich.
 MT Schlegel was member of Townsend lodge. I. o. o. F., which will be represented at the funeral. On Sunday last he was received in his absence into the fellowship of the Second Congregational church, of which his family are all members.
 The funeral, which will be private, will be attended at his late residence, 270 West Main street, at o'clock Saturday afternoon. The burial will be in Riverside cemetery Friends are requested to omit flowers.

then weighing single hair The weight
