has been done for the comfort and
convenience of all attending the SEES

A new $1,000 orchestron organ has
been installed and 1t is the largest
and best In New England; and It Is
we'll worth a trip TO simply hear the

The management is certainly enti'
tied to much praise for the lavish way

be no question about the people ap'
preciating it's efforts.

by Mr.. Goebel of Ohio, to increase to
two million dollars the appropriation
for paying the expenses of railway
mail clerks while travelling on bust
ness of the department. Still other
amendments were in sight when the
bill was laid aside for the day and
the house adjourned.
Washington, March 12.-Senator

NEW AUTOMOBILE TIRES.
y. J. Todd 10 Demonstrate Value Of
Solid Rubber Style.

An automobile tire that is absolutely
puncture proof seems almost elysian
vet such an invention exists and car
equipped with such tires will be ex-
hibited here by r. J, Todd of the Todd
Rubber company next Monday when
he plans to have car ready to de-
monstrate its virtues TO his friends.
The tire is a solid rubber one and so
has the added value of not requiring
to he blown up The automobile
equipped with these tires has travelled
twice over the Glidden route. beating
the former record by nine hours.
When this car arrives In this city II
will have travelled over 1000 miles.
AS there is nothing hut the ordinary
wear and tear on material to be con-
sidered in New Haven, a car equipped
with these tires, providing the engines
held out, could travel $4,000 miles or
once and a half around the earth with
out repair of any kind.
