IS STILL ALIVE.
Ernest Nelson, Who Shot Himself
 Three Times.

South Norwa1k, Sept. 26.-Ernest Nell son, the man who attempted suicide by shooting himself three times in a room at the Mahackemo hotel, is still alive, at the Norwalk hospital, though it seems as if he would die at any mo- ment. He has not yet regained consci- ousness and though slightly weaker is in practically the same condition as he was a short time after the shooting.
 It is understood that Nelson was dis appointed in love, which was the cause of his making way with himself, but who the woman was has not been learned. He was @ single man and was employed by the Rattan Manufac- turing company, of New Haven.
 He was apparently in good spirits, Saturday night, when seen by some of his fellow members of Court Marion Foresters of America, in New Haven. He was a member of the lodge in good standing and the lodge will do every thing possible for him. He has q brother in New Haven, but the brother is unable to give cause for the rash act of the would-be suicide.

WHAT WITCH?"
A Husbands Question.

When a man, from drinking coffee, gets to such a condition that he can hot eat breakfast without throwing 1t 8lp, it seems time to quit; but there hre thousands of people who do not understand that when an article of hood or drink produces such condi- lions as these it should be absolutely left of.
 A little woman out in Mont. writes That she and her husband knew though to quit coffee when it had Iapped them hard. She says: My husband was so badly affected that Ne ate no breakfast for three or four Hears. He would often try to drink few sips of coffee and invariably shrew it up.
 "When Postum Food Coffee was Brought to my attention I tried it kithout having any faith in it, but Then I found what a delicious bev- rage it was when prepared accord g to directions, and from trying it : h myself found there were no bad Efects, I induced husband to take a llp without telling him what it was. e objected at first, saying that he ould be sure to throw it up, but hen I insisted upon his trying it. it greed with him,

BRANFORD

Branford, Sept. 26.-Tidings have been received here of the death of May Ellen (Carey), wife of John P Pero, at her home in Brantford, Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, on Monday, September 23. The deceased formerly resided in Branford MT. Pero being at one time foreman of the moulding department at the Malleable Iron Fittings compa. ny. MT and Mrs Pero moved to Brantford, Canada, about year ago. The past summer, however, the fam fly have occupied a cottage at Sunset Beach, from which they returned to their home the first of this month. On the 9th Mrs. Pero was attacked with typhoid fever and her death, as above stated occurred on Monday. The deceased was native of North ampton, Mass She is survived by her husband, one son, John P, ir., and two daughters, the Misses May R., formerly a teacher of music in the Branford public schools, and Irene A. Pero. The funeral was held on Wednesday, the interment being in Springfield, Mass.
 There is feeling on the part of some of the members of the Branford Business Mems association, who &C., cepted an invitation to attend the Guilford fair Wednesday, that, either through negligence or lack of courte- sy, the guests from Branford did not receive proper recognition. This is emphasized by the fact that the Branford people went thither in re- sponse to a special invitation from the Guilford Business Mems associa- tion. Considering the fact that the affair had been so widely advertised, there is much general disappointment over the outcome in more respects than one.

Ever since the new schedule of having the New Britain cars run to Lazy Lane has been established, there has been con- siderable trouble. The petition asks that a Southington car will meet the Plainville car connecting with the Il o'clock third rail from Hartford. The passengers on this Plainville car have often been obliged to walk from Lazy Lane and it is a grewsome and lonely walk at night The other end of the road has never given satisfaction and will not until they go back to the old regime of running through to Plain vile.
