A SUGGESTION FROM ME1as & co

SUGGESTION FROM MEIas & co. / Out of the wonderful variety of weather at the disposal of the Weath- CT Bureau, it is now expected that the Chief of the Pleasant Day Brigade will send us pleasant Spring-ike Easter, and will permit the March lion to depart without kicking up dis turbance. In that event the glad new raiment must be trotted out for the that Meigs & Co.'s announcement ot their readiness to outfit man and boy will be found of special interest to ev- cry man. It is good to read therein, that such a big variety of the new styles of clothes, hats, shoes, and fur nishings for men has been provided; for this is big town with lots of peo- pie in it, and tastes are as varied as human nature. But MeigS & Go. al ways have met the demands of all men, at Easter time and all the time, and their preparations, this season are on a larger scale than ever before, simply because the town is bigger and their business keeps pace with our growth. It will be source of satis- | faction to every man who needs Meigs | & Co.'s invitation to see their big dis play, to buy his Easter outfit at a store where the customers satisfac- sactiCn; for everything bought at Me1gs & Go. $ is covered by the firm $ broad guarantee to make good what ever proves otherwise, and to return the money for any unsatisfactory pur- | chase. In consequence, the Easter outfit purchased at this store is bound to prove satisfactory, and in style will put the proper shine on every mar who wears Meigs & Co., apparel.

 The oblect of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in ac- quiring the insignificant 35-mile-long PoughkeepSie and Eastern railroad was to obtain control of the terminals and docks of the latter in Poughk eep- sic. These were the only possessi ons of the Poughkeepsie and Eastern which amounted to anything. The New Haven road, of course, previously controlled the Central New England railway company, which owns the Poughkeepsie bridge, but does not own an entrance into the city of PouRh- keepsie On this account the New Haven has finally taken over the bank rupt Poughkeepsie and Eastern, which Russell Sage took on foreclosure and which has now been acquired from his estate. The POughkeepsie and East ern runs from Poughkeepsie to Boston Corners, that strange railroad center which might be thought an important spot from the fact that three roads meet in it, but which is actually god fOrsaken jumping-off place.
