DEATH OF MRS JOHN HENRY FLEW
 ELLEN.
 On Saturday morning Mrs John Henry Flewellen, aged 65 years. II months and 15 days, passed quietly away, after a brief illness of only 10 days. While in her usual health, she was stricken with apoplexy, from which she never recovered to be able to speak again. Although having liv- ed here but brief three months, she leaves such pleasant memory of her bright and cheery ways with those who were fortunate enough to have met her, and it is with regret their neighbors think of the pleasant home being broken up. Besides her hus- band, she leaves one son, and one daughter to mourn her loss. A short time since, MT and Mrs Flewellen moved from their old home in New York state to spend their declining years near their brother, George Flew ellen, who recently purchased the Wooster Lennon place in Upper End district, the two brothers having mar ried sisters, thus forming still closer bond between the families. The in- terment was in the little cemetery at Rockville, near the home Of another brother, Lauren Flewellen.
 DOCTORS APPROVE OF MR MITCHELE's
 METHODS.
 Elnathan Mitchell, of Washington who has been sending milk to Bridge port for the last nine years, has been increasing his interests very largely [ that city. The people of the city have been very much troubled with poor milk and the doctors and health offic- CTS have recently been very much in terested in the plant which MT Mitch ell has been putting up in the city. One of the Bridgeport papers says that the principal feature of the plant in which the health officers were most interested was the sanitary arrange ment. They were shown bottle-wa sh- ing machines which SCOUT the interior and exterior of the bottles. and at the same time cleanse the wooden cases holding the bottles. After this the wooden cases, the bottles, the pipes from the apparatus, the strainers and all utensils which come in contact with the milk are stored in a big steam room where the temperature is kept up to nearly POO degrees This method sterilizes the utensils so that it would be suicide for the hardest shelled bac teria to venture into the place.
