 MERE SKELETON
In Torments a Year and a Half with Terrible Sores on Face and Body Hands Tied to Stop Scratching and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
 COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

"My little son, when about year and a half old began to have sores come cut on his face. I had phy- sician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then called another physl- elan. Still he grew worse. At the end of about year and half of suffering he grew so bad had to tic his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticnra Soap and Ointment. So great was her faith in it that she gave me small piece of Cuticura Soap to try and little Outicura Ointment. I took it home without any faith, but to please her II tried it, and it seemed to dry up the sores little. Isent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and g box of Cuticura Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my pre- cious child would have died from those terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D., No. |, Woodville, Conn, April P, 1905"

THE NEW YORK IDEA" :"


 The biggest dramatic success of the season thus far is Langdon Mltchell's satiric play, "The New York Idea," in which Mrs, Fske and the Manhattan company will appear at the Hyperion on Friday evening.
 This brilliant and amusing satire on metropolitan society life and the dl- vorce question has been running for three months in New York where it caught on tremendously. The critics have been unreserved in their praise of the play, and of the remarkable acting of Mrs. Fiske and her associates. Mrs Fiske's performance is described as the most charming and artistic she has ever given, and the work of the com pany as near perfection. Langdon Mitchell, who adapted Becky Sharp for Mrs Fiske, is the author of The New York Idea" Back of the spark ling wit and humor that characterize this play, Is an effect showing the re- suits of the lax divorce laws, In 0 spirit of engaging banter, Mr. Mitch ell points out these results, and he could do it in no more effective way than by an appeal to the sense of hu- nor. His characters seem to be real people, and for the amusing elements of the plot there are parallels in real life. Mrs Fiske has the role of an att tractive and volatile young society woman, in whom natural sincerity and deep feeling triumph over the views that frivolous environment has given her. The play reaches happy termin- alton in one of the most charming scenes in the modern drama. Mrs. Fiske's associates again Demonstrate their sterling worth. John Mason, George Arliss, Charles Harbury, Emily Stevens and Belle Bohn, have for sev- eral seasons been with the Manhattan company, while the organization has been further strengthened by the addi- tion of Dudley Clinton, Robert V. Fer guson, Dudley Digges, Marion Lea, Ida Vernon, Blanche Weaver and others.

 Una Clayton and company in What's in Name?" have a comedy in which Miss Clayton does a fainting stunt that should hold the interest of the feminine portion of the audience at Polls this week.
 The Willis family are talented musi- clans, Belong Bros. do some dizzy feats on the cycles and in mid-air, Con nors and Raymond open the show, and Walters and Prouty help in the merry making.
 May Belford created a sensation by asking that the lights be turned on the gallery so that the police could see who was hissing. Her work, although clever, did not suit the small boys in the gallery.

LOUIS MANN IN THE GIRL

 Louis Mann is to present Roderic c. Penfeld and Gustave Kerker's musical comedy, The Girl from Vienna" at the Hyperion theater tonight and to- morrow night. MT. Mann will appear in this play as Hensee Blindner, a poor hotel keeper residing in the sub urbs of Vienna. He goes to Vienna in order to secure a wife, and there falls a victim to a marriage broker, with the result that complications of an amusing sort occur. This role is very like many that MT. Mann has portray ed with such great success in years back It was with great difficulty that the .Shuberts were able to lure him away from straight comedy roles for the. reason that MT. Mann has always considered that his success in The Telephone Girl" switched his ambition. It was with difficulty that he was able after making great hit in the musical comedy to be turned to plays that did not call for musical setting. He has been surrounded by company of ex- ceptiinal merit. There will be a big beauty chorus, specially engaged for his run at the Casino in New York

"Hrs LAST DOLLAR :"


 Under the direction of E. D. Stair and Geo. H. Nicolai His Last Dollar" with David Higgins in the leading role, supported by Eleanor Montell and a stronG and efficient cast, will be the attraction at the New Haven theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and at the matinee Saturday.
 The frenzy of corner in stocks on Wall street, in which man from the south undertakes to swoop up all the coin in the great financial center but fails, and the actual running of the great Futurity race by thoroughbred race horses furnish the backbone of a most effective story that David Hig- gins and Baldwin c. Cooke have wov- en into a play as abovt-a play possess ing wonderful accumulative interest, a delightful love atmosphere and the trials of two extremely young lovers with the drowning parent and attendant vicissitudes of persistent youth; also the more mature love interest of the hero and heroine. Tn the comedy part of His Last Dollar" the authors can be said to have been more than happy in their efforts, much laughter being evolved by one, Kaufman, a mercurial Hebrew, who, in his endeavors to fol- low the advice of his father always

WAS A BIG SNOW STORM
ONE OF THE WORST IN RECENT
 FEARS.

Temporarily DemOralizes Business
 Trains Late, Mails Behind, Courts Ad-
 iOurn, Schools Close, Funerals Post
 pOned and Legislature Fails to Get a
 Quorum Through Its Effects.
 The snowstorm of yesterday was one of the worst that has visited New Ha- ven and vicinity, and this part of the world in general, in several years. It came down with the vim and force of a regular old-time blizzard, and soon had the streets covered to an average depth of about fifteen inches. The drifts in some places were two feet or more.
 The wind during the greater part of the night galloped along at forty five-mile gait, and those who were forced to be out and face it found that they had a fierce road to travel
 The snow did not cease until an ear ly hour yesterday morning, and when the people began to get out they found the roads and sidewalks heaped with the blanket of snow and were forced to return to their homes or else walk in the car tracks, where the snowplows had partially cleared the way. The storm demoralized business for a few hours. At the various stores, factories and shops not more than half the usu- al help reported at the early morning hour.
 With the exception of the high school, where only 400 pupils turned up out of 1,700 nothing was done at the schools all day yesterday Many meetings, so- cial functions and even funerals were put over until another day The mails were all late and the postmen had light and easy deliveries. New York news papers were anywhere from four to six hours late owing to the late arrival of the trains.
 Considering the quantity of snow which fell, the trolley road did excep- tionally well, cars being kept running Oll LiIS uidlil IlLleS dl uOl lllI6quSul lll- tervals, while later in the day the trips were increased to near the regular runs.
 At Savin Rock, Morris Cove and oth- CT shore resorts the breaks were more numerous. Trips were retarded fre- quently owing to trucks and carts be- ing on the tracks, the roads being oth- erwise impossible for heavy teams.
 Many people found themselves snow ed in when they wakened yesterday morning, and in many cases they had to dig themselves out.
 The courts had to adjourn because judges and juries were unable to get to the city. The state legislature failed to get quorum from the same cause.
 Many wide-awake boys picked up a little cash yesterday in shovelling snow from sidewalks and dooryards, as did many men also, and the city employed many laborers and teams in carting off the snow from the streets in the busi- ness center.
 The snowbanks at the curbstones were from four to five feet in height after the shovelling of sidewalks was completed. Altogether it was quite big snowstorm, and the ground hogs shadow story looks rather shadowy..

RANGERS GOOD POLICEMEN.

RANGERS GOOD POLICEMEN.
 The Texas rangers are the most ef- fectlve policemen in the world They at least labor under this impression, and it is not denied by lawbreakers who come in contact with them They are always chosen for their intelli- gence, good Judgement and self possession in times of danger. It is this latter quality which is their safe guard. As one ranger explained it; Nineteen men out of twenty get nervous when they undertake to shoot you, even when they fire from am bush. You have only to keep a cool head and steady hand to get the better of the argument We rangers ought to know, for it has been no rare occurrence to have some fellow take crack at us.
 "A couple of years ago, a Mexican undertook to pot me from behind a fence corner one dark night just as I was about to enter store seventy five feet away. He had good chance, as I was outlined against the light, and was not expecting anything, but he only clipped a chunk out of my hatbrim. I put five mighty sudden bull lets into the fence corner where the flash came from but the fellow got laway in the darkness.
 When a Mexicans gets within ear shot of our camp, he always halloos to let us know he is coming. If he doesn't, we thrash him with a larlat and make him go back and approach in a proper manner. AS a result We lean go away for 8 week and leave our camp unguarded, and not thing will be touched. Once in while Mexi- can fill. up on mescal and starts in to abuse a ranger, but we merely knock lhin Gown with a revolver butt and go on. Next day MT Mexican is sure to cnne around and tell us we did right and assure us he bears nowl ill on &C., count of the affair"
 There are no reviews, encampments, or GTiGs, and, above all, no politics, TO favorltism and no red tape The ranger enlists for two years with the understanding that he may reign at any time he feels that he doesn't like the work and the knowledge that he will be put out if he fails to do his duty. He is given a commission, a Winchester rifle, and a Colts 45- l Calibra revolver, which are his univer- sal warrants and the only ones he ever requires. He is assigned to camp in some places where he is most need ed and left there until his presence is required elsewhere.-Chicag Chronicle.

FOR vA1oUR,e
Journal and Courier:

Editor Journal and Courier:
 The Royal Humane society of Great Britain grants medals for valour in saving life.
 Many police have also been awarded medals for courageous duty, which are worn on the right breast. Formerly in Ireland for some act of bravery chev- ron, or badge, was worn strapped around the left of 2 police constable's wrist, but this was government award through the police authorities and to police onlT.
 Certainly the case of Police Officer Cohane, who went into a house after the Italian who murdered an Italian on Franklin street, some time ago, and the case of Officer Roach who went into the dark cellar and lit match to see the negro who was after murdering a man are both worthy of special rec ognition for neither of these police of ficers could tell but the men they wanted to arrest had the revolvers that they were after firing.
 Yours truly.

TWELVE MILE RIDE
Trouble, But He Had an Object.

Trouble. But He Had an Object.
 We are willing to take the trouble to get things we value
 IA Mo. man was So much benefited by changing from coffee to Postum, that he was willing to ride about F miles to get it. His daughter writes:
 My mother father and myself have been drinking Postum for two years and have all been greatly bene- fted by it's use
 Before we dropped coffee and began to use Postum, mother was poorly nourished and only weighed 95 lbs. Aft pr she used it a few weeks she began Oo gain in weight and she kept getting stronger and better until now she weichs 15O lbs, and we all believe it due to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum Food Coffee, because she has taken no medicine of any kind. While she drank coffee she was very nervous, but since using Postum she has no such trouble.
 Father was troubld with indigestion, when he drank coffee, but Postum has changed all that He says he likes the taste of it much better than coffee. When I happened to be visiting and drink coffee I am usually sick for few hours, everything sours on my stomach and get very nervous.
 "We find there's a big difference in the way Postum is prepared It should be boiled properly according to direc- tions-then it's flavor is fine.
 Father rides about 12 miles to get it. He says he would not do without Post um if he had to go still farther to get it." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little booklet, ''The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's reason"
