REV THOMAS SHANLY
Died This Morning. at His Home
 in WeSiport.

The Rev Thomas H. Shanly, pastor of the Church of The Assumption at Westport, Connecticut, died at z o'clock this morning after short illness. Father Shanly had not been we'll for some time, and last month returned from a visit to the Hot Springs in Virginia apparently much improved in health, but two weeks ago he had recurrence of his old complaint.

From there he went to St Charles's college, Ellicott City, Md, where he received his B. A. in lSS2. He made his theological course in St Bonaventure's college in Allegany, N. Y., and was ordained to the priest hood by Archbishop Ryan of Buffalo June 24, 1906. He was for 10 years assistant pastor at St Francis church in New Haven, where he had charge of the parochial school, remaining as acting pastor after Father Null hollands death. He was assigned to the pastorate at Poquonock in 1898. After two years he was made pastor at Westport, where he finished the beautiful Church of The Assump- tion, renovated the rectory, and made many improvements about the church property which made it an ornament to the town.
 Father Shanly was genial, kindly man, who had broad mind and keen intellect He always took an active interest in the affairs of his people and was leader in any movement for their civic as well as their spirit ual betterment. He was great student of history and had collects. fine library which he enjoyed to the utmost.
 Father Shanly leaves his father and mother, Mir and Mrs John Shan ly, and one sister, Mrs John H. Kill duff of this city.

GEESE FLYING NORTH.
Why Their Progress Is Made in the
 "E" Formation.

East Hampton. March 30.-A flock of geese. containing 52. passed over the village, Saturday north ward bound. The flock separated. 32 going in one bunch and 20 in the other. They seemed puzzled as to the destination and were quite low down as though about ready to in- quire for directions. noe big gan der led the way and there were other large birds in the flock.
 The flight of geese. both north in the spring and south in the fall, is always an inspiring sight and to many the reason why they ffy in V-shape formation is not clear Au- thorities state that the strongest birds take the lead and flying v-shaped breaks the wind for those in the rear. other birds taking the lead occasionally so as to spell the head of the flock. Not until man. kind can invent an airship that vfil keep up with fast flying geese. Will energetic Americans really think they are going some. Geese are credited with doing loo miles an hour.

MAN HAS
new THEORY
Human Life Seems Conferred in Stomach. All
Else is Secondary.

The immense success which has fol-
lowed. l.. T.. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has eX-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young MAJ has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a
move theory. He believes that the hu-
man stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: THE average
MAJ or woman cannot be sick if the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of a Nirulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, etc. which are organic, ard
are not traceable to the stomach. but
even fevers can. in nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervou exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by the stomachic
conditions. and it is because my EN-
edy will and does regulate the stom-
ach that / am meeting with such sue
cess.

A young; married lady n morning
gave her husband a sealed letter
which he was to read when he got tc
the office. He did SO, and the letter ran
as follows:

no help for it. You shall knoW every
thing. whatever be the consequences.
For the last week ] have felt that it
must come to this. but l have waited

main silent no longer. DO not over
whelm me with bitter reproach, for you
will have to put up with your share OF
the trouble as we'll as myself"
Cold perspiration stood in thick
drops on the brow of the husband,
who was prepared for the worst.
Trembling he read on:
Our coal is all gone. Please order a
ton to be sent this afternoon. / thought
you might forget ii for the tenth time.
and therefore wrote you this letter"
But he didn't forget that time.

Mcbride & Will invite all who suffer
from any form of catarrhal troubles to
get a Hyomei outfit from them with
their absolute guarantee that ii ii does
not give perfect satisfaction. the money
will be refunded pon request.
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that in any way resembles Hy-
omei, none hat gives such quick cura-
tive results and lasting satisfaction. no
medicine that can take its place. none
that can be sold on q guarantee like
this. to refund the money unless it
cures.
Catarrh is a germ disease and can be
cured only by breathing Hyomei. so
that the most remote air cells in the
nose. throat and lungs are reached by
its antiseptic healing powers. In this
way all catarrhal germs are killed. the
irritated mucous membrane is healed
and catarrh is driven from the system.
This wonderful m~edicatcd air treat
ment does not drug and derange the
stomach. but is breathed thru a little
pocket Inhaler that goes with every
dollar outfit.
The unusual way in which Mcbride
& Will sell Hyomei attests their con-
fidence in the remedy.
