WORTH KNOWING.

Every man and woman in this town should know of Paxtine Toilet Antlsep- tic.
 It whitens the teeth, destroys germs that invade every cavity and crevlce, and prevents decay; also invaluable for cleansing artificial teeth.
 Paxtine destroys all bad taste, per- fumes the breath, and keeps the mouth and throat in perfect health.
 This is because PaNtine is the most successful formula of a noted Boston physician, used in his private practice for years in curing the most obstinate inf1amed and catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane surfaces of the body, and in being adopted by physi- clans, dentists and trained nurses every where as the most thorough cleansing and healing antiseptic, Every woman in New Haven should use Paxtine in her toilet.
 Many women say that if Paxtine were ten dollars a box they would not be without 1t. Have you tried it? soc at druggists. The R. Paxton Co.,, Bos- ton, Mass.

WIRE PLANT SHUT DOWN.

H. Stuart Hotchkiss and ex-Mayor F. B. Farnsworth receivers of the Ma tional Wire corporation, mailed cireu- lars to the customers yesterday stat ing that it had been deemed necessary to practically shut down the plant pending the completion of reorganiza- tion plans which have been agreed up on, and which are now in the process of being financed.
 Customers with whom the National Wire corporation may have contracts at this time, are notified that it will be impossibleto make further deliveries thereon, except from such stock as may be on hand
 The prospects arethat this enforced closure will be of short duration and that in the near future the National Wire corporation will be in a position to give al orders under the new regi- me prompt and careful attention. In fact, within few months, it is expect ed that the big establishment will be in full operation and employment giv- en to 1000 hands.

CHURCH STREET PURCHASE
MCUSKER 6 SCHROEDER BUY
 TALUABLE PROPERTY

Near POIl's-KIaw & ErIanger Rumor
 False-COx & Henzfe and Other Ten-
 ants Ordered Out-May Put Up New
 Structure-MOve Primarily Caused
 by Polls Purchase of BljOu Property.
 There has been quite a shakeup in Church street real estate and many and various rumOrs have been flying about. The property in question is the building now occupied by the un- dertaking establishment of Cox & Henze and other tenants. This has been sold through theagent, Attorney George L. Dickerman, and the tenants have all been notified to leave before May 1.
 As Klaw and Erlanger have had their eyes on this property for some time, it was thought that they might have bought it to put theater there. But it developed last evening that the purchasers are McCusker & Schroeder, the coal dealers.
 MT. McCusker when interviewed con firmed the news of the deal, but re- fused to say anything more about it. He would not say what they intended to do with the building, or whether they would build a new one on that site. It was stated around town, how ever, that MT s. 2. Poli, since pur- chasing the building in which his Bi- jou theater is located, has ordered out all his tenants, including McCus- ker & Schroeder. From this it would seem that the latter firm has purchas- ed the property across the street for their own use.
 As they have ordered all the tenants out in six weeks, it seems likely that they intend to erect a new building on the site, but Mir. McCusker would not acknowledge this.
 The property belonged to the Timo- thy Beers estate and is assessed for $SS,S9O.

AT PINEY RIDGE.

Crowded House Witnesses David Hig-
 gins Play at New Haven Theater.
 A crowded house witnessed David Higgins famous play of the south at the New Haven theater last night. The audience was enthusiastic all through the four acts, and it gave it's undivided attention and approval to the play Applause was plentiful and curtain calls were numerous, which is good indication that the play and the com pany thoroughly pleased the audience. Van H. Kinzie, who, by the way, is a brother of the author, acted the part of Jack Rose in an easy yet natural way, and perhaps comes as near filling the character as did tie author him self. Curdy Lane is admirably por- trayed by Miss Amy Farnsworth. The staging of the piece was excellent and many in New Haven would have been glad had it been possible for the com pany to play again tonight.

 Many are anxiously awaiting Judge Shumway's decision ill the Norton di- vorce suit.
 The case has been one of the most interesting on trial here for some time, and probably the expense of the fight exceeds that of any other divorce trlal ever held in the local courts. The em- ployment by the attorneys of Edwin Kenneth Norton, the former Yale freshman and son of the New York millionaire, of number of detectives to spy upon his wife, Mrs. Josephine Birney Norton of this city, with whom he eloped while in college, has meant no little sum. These detectives have been engaged on the case almost con- tinuously for nearly year.
 There were three lawyers on each side and an estimate thatthe trial has cost over $2O,OOO is not at all improba- ble. Indeed, one ofthe attorneys ad- mitted that this is reasonable guess.

THE Rr.AKE s1rIT

The suit of Henry T. Blake against Frederick J. Brothers, the First ward moderator who is alleged to have thrown out MT. Blakes ballot on cleo tion day, Is one the way to the su- preme court as was testified to by a proceeding yesterday The demurrer filed by the defendant to the substitut- ed complaint of the plaintiff was sus- tained by Judge Shumway upon an agreement of the parties to the suit. This plan, according to Attorney George D. Watrous of counsel for the plaintiff was adopted to facilitate matters as being the best course. He said, however, that the case could and undoubtedly would be taken to the su preme court. The suit will test the constitutionality of the state ballot law.
