HOW TO BREAK UP A COLD.
Tt maybe a surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be
completely broken up in one or
two days time. The first symp
toms of a cold are dry, loud
cough, a profuse wartery discharge
from the nose, and a thin, white
coating on the tongue When
Uhamberlain's cough remedy is
taken every hour on the first APP
pearance of these symptoms, it

CAN NOT MAINTAIN SUITS
PI.H Bros Can Amend Complaint for Danass
 and Relief Sought.

It is not so, as has been reported from the superior court in New Ha- ven, that Judge George Wheeler has decided that the Platt brothers can maintain their suits for $2OO,OOO against the City of Waterbury for damages arising from the sewerage system. What the court did say was to permit the Platt brothers to amend their complaint so as to leave no doubt what damages and relief are sought. The city contends that the Platt broth CTS can bring only one suit for dam- ages after the sewerage system was installed and that damages on that suit only can be recovered. If dam ages were allowed on one suit it is not likely that another suit on the same grounds as alleged in the first suit would be allowable. from the city's point of view. That point has not yet been passed upon, the publish ed reports to the contrary notwlth' standing.

NEW KIND or MAINE SLATE
Bed of Superior Material Recently
 Uncovered in Somerset County,

A new variety of slate has been dis covered by Prof. T. Nelson Dale. of the United States geological survey. in the town of Forks. Somerset county, in cen tral Maine, between the Kennebec and Piscataquis rivers.
 The slate crops out in the bed of Holly Brook, where 1t is exposed for a thickness of 30 feet or more across the cleavage. The nearest railroad is the Somerset railway extension at Mos quito Narrows, six miles distant.
 The slate is bluish black and fine of texture. with cleavage surface which shows less luster than that of the Brownville slate, but is still bright. It is graphite, contains a very small amount of magnetic. has no argilla- ceous odor, does not effervesce in cold dilute hydrochloric acid. is sonorous md is readily perforated. The ledge does not show discoloration nor do frag- ments that have been exposd for lo years.
 
 ranged in the order of their abundance, appear to be muscovite, quartz, chlorite, pyrite and graphite. with accessory tourmaline, zircon and rutile. This Pleasant Pond slate, to name it after the nearest topographic feature. would prove suitable either for roofing or mill stock purposes. Another ledge of sim liar slate has been exposed by trench ing about a third of a mile away, but this slate shows some false cleavage, at least at the surface. Should that fea- ture continue into the mass the slate would have little or no commercial value. The slate of the Holly Brook outcrop is free from that undesirable characteristic.

Berlin, Feb. 26-The German gov ernment has decided to make a furth- CT concession to the French views 0n the Moroccan question provided France will also yield something. The extent of Germany's proposals will become known only at Algeciras where they will be communicated to the French delegates. Emperor William and Chancellor von Buelow, it is under stood, would rather make another ef- fort to reconcile the French aims and cermany's interests than allow the serious situation to draft
 Some effort has been made here by certain small financiers to create a war scare out of the. emperor's reply Co the congratulatory address of the generals on the occasion of his maies- tvs silver wedding. in which the em- peror remarked that he prayed God that war would not come but if It came he was convinced that the army would scQuit itself e efficiently as 1t did thirty-fve yesrs ago.
