Hartford, July 1S.-The members of the Connecticut party to the Chi cago convention had jolly time at the Hartford club last evening, giv- ing complimentary dinner to Hon Charles F. Brooker, Connecticut member of the national committee, who was so considerate of their wants during the great gathering. Governor Woodruff, who had started from New Haven, was taken i'll on the train and had to abandon his trip at Meriden and turn back to his home. Ex-Senator Garvan, who was an alternate, sent a telegram from Narragansett Pier, expressing his regrets and his good wishes. Colonel c. M.

 There was no se- speeches, but all had most enjoyable time.
 Congressman Lilley and Lieuten- ant-Governor Lake were among those present.
 The following communication was brought into the Journal-Courier of flee at New Haven by one of the lead ing physicians of New Haven and will be read with interest by the men who presume to boss the caucuses and the conventions. As skilled mariners they will discover the rocks ahead. The Editor of the Journal-Courier:
 desire to commend unreservedly the position you have assumed in re- gard to the candidacy of MT Lilley for the governorship. I do not know personally Governor Woodruff, Mir Lilley or Mir Lake, but I feel a lively interest in the welfare and the good name of our state.
 Governor Woodruff has made an excellent executive and, now that he has had two years of experience, is deserving of having the opportunity of carrying further the reforms which he has inaugurated. MT Lilley is perhaps unfortunate. but, neverthe- less, as political force he is dis credited. feel that he would fail to carry the state and that his candi- dacy would endanger Conencticut' s position in the republican column in the coming national election.
 Under the circumstances he exhib- its an unbecoming and, what the late President Woolsey of Yale college de- scribed as 'an uncommon anxiety for high office.

by the success ii attains, which meth.

mon experience of mankind, 10 cer.
tainly not bad. one. The high stand
ard of intelligence and discernment in
this country, where education is the
rule and not the exception, renders il
difficult and surprising to find genera
national success not based on actual
worth. Hence it was that with the
presentation of ST. Jacobs Oil they cor.
rectly judged it at once, and decided
that rare intrinsic worth only could be
the source of It's success. The decision
with them was equivalent to an adop.
ton; and 1t is rare thing to find q

surgeons Knife Cures Headache

After suffering excruciating pains in hiA
head for twenty-five years, Louis Wolf
son of Cincinnati has secured relief by
having the surgeons cut out two nerves.
The pain was above the eyes and at the
temples and recurred four or FIVE times
week. He had consulted the leading
specialists, tried medicines, various forms
of massage and electrical treatment in
vain. The two offending nerves, one on
each side, were between one and two
inches long and about as thick as a pin.
They are termed sensory nerves--that is,
nerves which give the sense Of feeling and
not control of the movements of mus
cles. The headaches have not returned
since the operation. Local surgeons say
this is the first case of the kind on record.
