 Canlnes Painless Death.

Terrence Lynch, doorman at the police station. is still in the business of killing dogs and he has 1t reduced to science and puts canines to sleep without causing them the slightest pain. Yesterday he electro cuted four in the presence of the Rev MT Haywood. who appeared satisfied that the operation was very humane. The preacher said he didn't like to see anything suffer and was pleased to sec that the police department had nit upon such q happy way of dis posing of stray animals brought in Dy the police. To-day four or i've more CUTS were picked up, one a handsome little pup not over three weeks old that trotted about the station and amused everybody. One of the older dogs had a collar. but there was no name on it. People whose dogs break away from them should call at the police station and take them home if they care anything about them.

Cane in on . Freight and Told
 Brakemen He Killed a Man.

An Italian giving the nams of Domenico Ruggiero is held at tho police station until Detective Thomas Colesanto discovers who the fellow really is. Ruggiero might have been at liberty now if he did not wag his tongue too freely.
 He came into this city yesterday afternoon on the o'clock freight train and taking a couple of the hrakemen into his confidence stated that he was fleeing from the police authorities as he had killed man. Thinking there might be some truth in the strangers tale the man was made prisoner and held until the detectives arrived and took him to the police station.
 To the authorities Ruggiero relat- ed a different story and said that he merely gave the killing game to the "brakies" as he thought they might try to relieve him of the $40 which he had in his trousers.

No Fire in House Where Woman
 Was III.

This morning Superintendent Nor ris of the department of charities was called to A Railroad Hill street where 1t was reported that a woman and n baby few hours old were in great need of assistance. Dr Hayes attended the woman and stated that there was no fire in the house and no clothes to put on the child that had just been ushered into the world. The doctor had provided few things for the baby and took them over there himself and then notified the board of charities. MT Morris went without his own dinner in order to give the matter the earliest atten- tion possible. The woman's husband has been i'll for the past three months and the case was one of the worst that has come to the attention of the superintendent this winter,

BOARD OF HEALTH
Wants . Detailed Report From
 MIX aad Food Inspector.

The board of health met last even ing and quickly transacted the busi- ness of routine nature which came before the members.
 The communication referred by the board of aldermen to the health body in reference to the residents of Grand and Center streets complain ing against the smoke which they claim comes from the chimneys of the Connecticut hotel and the Ameri- can office, where 1t is said soft coal is burned, was discussed. Dr Hunger ford Is of the opinion that the com plainants are on the wrong track, as he thinks that the smoke comes from old rags and papers burned by stores in that vicinity. Health Oflcer Kill martin was notified to investigate the causes and to abate the nuisance if one exists
 A petition from A. w. Goldsmith asking that he be given license to act as city scavenger, was approved and recommended to the board of al- dermen.
 The members of the board were not pleased with the report of the milk and food inspector as submit ted by Dr Keeley, and 1t was sent back to the inspector with the sug- gestion that he make more de- tailed report. The report stated that several samples of milk had been in- spected and some found below the standard. It did not state who were the dealers vending milk of an in- ferior quality and as the board was very eager to know, the report was not accepted.
 The same was true of the meat markets found to be unsanitary. The members did not think much infor- nation was conveyed to them when no names were mentioned.
 The monthly bills and pay roll were approved.

YALE CHEMISTS.
Greeted by Small House Last Night
 at Y. M. e. A.

| at Y. M. Q. A. One of the finest exhibitions of l gymnastic work ever given in this ] city was witnessed last evening at the I. M. Q. A., when the Yale gym team, l composed of clean cut athletes of splendid physique. appeared before a small audience. It Is to be regretted that such small number was pres ent and the members of the team al- though not protesting any outward evidence must have wondered why their admirers in Waterbury were So i few
 Manager Drucklieb heard that the Brass city was big Yale town, con- sequently he made arrangements to bring his team here for an exhibition. On his original list was "BilP Knox whom Waterbury people greatly ad- mlrer, but a few days ago the an- nouncement was made that Knox could not come. Perhaps this had tendency to keep many away, but they know not what they missed for person had to- he there to fully ap- preciate the Yale boys.
 Eight events constituted the nights work and those who take pleasure in witnessing clever acts on the paral. lel and horizontal bars, the flying rings, acr0batlc stunts, dumbbell exer- else and the side-horse turns must have relished the courses dished out to them,
 The rope skipping by l.. C. Ever ard the last number on the program was also very clever piece of work and reflected much credit upon the performer. "Jim" Sweeney of Nau. gatuck and Dole furnished good wrestling bout which lasted twelve minutes neither gaining a fall.
 The mascot of the team bull dog, Dan" by name, called after the fa- nous Yale mascot Handsome Dan" was much in evidence, at times, sending forth growls that could be heard outside the building. The fel- lows had much fun taking care of the bull.
 The Yale pennant presented by Mir Knox was won by Mrs A. A. Crane, of West Main street the lucky num- Der being drawn out by Harry Reach.
 After the exhibition the Yale cheer was given which was followed by an entertainment. Program given was as follows:
 Horizontal bars-E c. Butler, A. c. Gilbert, Frederick Prosch and c. V. Baker.
 Parallel bars-L. C. Eyerard, Fred. erick Proscll and E. C. Butler.

Birthday Party.

A demonstration in the School of Housekeeping At the Friendly league has always proved worth while" and the last one was no exception. On one side of the laboratory students were busily em- ployed in cake making. while on the other side were the chocolate mak- CTS. Neither side won, for each set of dainties was ready at the same time. and all was delicious. It was not until the cake was baking. how ever. that it proved to be . birthday cake The candles were ready and the ring thimble. etc. had been tucked in unawares % that all the fun came as the cakes were cut and 1t was found out who is to be the first to receive congratulations.

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up This
Home Mixture and Take Now.

At this time Of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot
tie and take in teaspuonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, SO they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
full blood count''-that is, 95 per cent.
red blood orpuscles-which is abso-
lutely Indispensable to perfect health.

OLD Cannon CAN'T Re BROKEN.
Armament of Old Craft Was Made to
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and in order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full Of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Poin
Richmond, where an effort was bein :
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament OF
the war craft which sailed the seas
In 1912.

GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS.
Grab Rope from Rellrineer and Cut
Down Trees.

Ghostly happenings have disturbed
the town of KirkwaIl, the capitaJ of
the county of Orkney. On Wednes-
day night, says the London Daily Mail
the wife of the bellringer went to ST.
Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock This is an ancient
custom still observed in the burgh,
The bell had been tolled for less than
a minute, when, it is alleged, a figure
suddenly appeared at the woman's
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
Another morning 20 trees which
a few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found to
have been cut down. The night was
a calm one, with brilliant moonlight.
and the trees were standing at one
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an out
look on the spot, and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are baf1ed.

Home of the Iceberos,

Almost all the icebergs seen in the
north Atlantic during June are
products of the coast of Labrador,
formed from the ice fields that had
filed the indentations of that coast
the previous winter. Julys icebergs
come from further north in the vicin-
ity of Baffin Land, those of August
come from still further north, and
though fewer in number than those
of the earlier summer, are larger in
individuality. From the coast of
Labrador may be seen an endless
procession of these ice mountains
coming out of the north and taking
their way majestically southwark un-
til they lose their being in the warm,

Dropped Valuable Hint About Coffee.

For about eight years." writes
Mich. woman, 81 suffered from nerv-
ousness-part of the time down in bed

would be almost impossible for me to
speak for spell. At others, I would
have severe bilious attacks, and my
heart would futter painfully when /
would walk fast Or sweep.
Il have taken enough medicine to
start a small drug store, without any
benefit. One evening our grocer was
asking husband how I was and he
urged that I quit coffee and use
Postum, so he brought home a pkg.
and I made it according to directions
and we were both delighted with it.
$50 we quit coffee altogether and
used only Postum. began to get bet
ter in months time and look like an
other person, the color came back to
my cheeks, began to sleep well, my
appetite was good and / commenced
to take on flesh and become interested
In everything about the house.
FINALLY was able to DO all my own
work without the least sign of my old
trouble. I am so thankful for the little
book, The Road to Wellville.' It has
done me so much good. I haven't
taken medicine of any kind for six
months and don't need any.

Postum as she made it, liked mine,

enough, hers was as good as mine.
