Latest Pads in Household Furnishings. New Wall Coverings, Cretonnes and Chintzes Used in Novel Fashion.

During February clearance sales of household furnishings are every where attracting buyers. and real bar gains are to be had on these occasions, where people are contented with the less popular styles that are no longer novel for the course it is this class of furnishings that comprise most of the marked down pieces.
 The average woman however when buying for her home wants the very newest and prettiest styles that her means will allow her to purchase and the bran-new things that stand ready to replace the older stocks always eX- cite much interest at this season.
 Daintiness With Practicality.
 Daintiness and practicality meet in the new wall hangings that are shown in an endless variety of patterns, col brings and textures to suit any prefer red style of decoration. Leathers. bur laps and the better wallpapers are all perfectly initiated in the washable wall hanging known as Sanitas. while there are equally successful chintz patterns and tiled finishes for bath rooms, sue cessful chintz patterns and tiled fin iSlito TUT bdlll iopiilo, hlttiitiAS anu lui series. For doing over old houses where walls are not in good condition, or for putting on bran-new walls that are sure to crack more or less during the first periods of occupancy these waterproofed coverings are especially admirable since they completely con- ceal all defects in a way quite impos- sible to less substantial decorations and while the cost is about equal to and sanitary value makes them much less expensive in the long run.
 Cretonnes Faddish.
 All the well-known decorators here report that there is a very great and increasingly wide demand for printed cotton upholstery fabrics, which ac- counts for the great and most attrac- tive displays made of these goods at all the most representative places, where one sees them in a great varie- ty of colorings, patterns and widths and in widely differing textures, from those resembling taffeta to corded and brocaded weaves al known in a gen. eral way as cretonnes.
 These are used as much for sitting rooms as for bedrooms and some in domestic goods at about 2S to 90 cents a yard 27 to 36 inches in width. Imported weaves of similar character run from 30 cents to S150 up to $3.5O for double fold materials that are 1-2

TWICE CURED IF
 SKIN TROUBLES
First Case a Rash Which Itched and
 Sung Threatened Ten Years Later With Blood Poison in Leg But Both Times the Sufferers
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
 PROVED WELL-F0UNDED

About twelve or fifteen years ago, while living in West Virginia, had breaking-out, and it itched and stung so badly that l could not have any peace because of it. l saw three doctors and they did not agree on what it was, so one of them gave me something that he called medicine, but 1 called it soda water. 1 might just as well have washed in rain-water. Then got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and have not been bothered with the itch ing since, to amount to anything. About two years ago had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg. which then swelled and began to break out. It got in pretty bad shape, so 1 went to a doctor. He was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but if did no good. So sent for another set of the Cuticura Remedies. I used them three times and cured the breaking-Out on my leg. Now I won't be without Cuticura. J. F. Hennen, R. F. D. 3, Milan, Mo-, May 13, 1907."s

 Hints For Home Decorators.
 The present fashionable fad for en- amelled wood furniture with cotton coverings suggests many possibilities for clever amateur decorators. An old bed room set covered with enamelled paint and upholstered with lowered cretOnne or chintz would be transform ed into modish up-to-date, furnish ing and if, in place of the cretOnne, a suitable pattern of washable wall cov- ering referred to was substituted the effect would not only be as pretty but more practical since the whole surface could be cleaned and the colors bright ened by simply wiping with a damp cloth dipped in a little powered whit ing and this followed by a rinsing. so to speak, with a cloth wrung out in lukewarm water. This easily cleans the finest enameled surface without the least scratching or other deterior- ation of the finish. and once tried will become the established method of cleaning glazed surfaces.

Elizabethan designs in the higher priced fabrics are to be dis tinguished by the figures of carnations about 1-2 inches in diameter in their patterns combined with a smaller con- Ventional flower and an irregular rib- , bonlike close vine effect on a plain background. The color combinations of lavander and soft old yellow; pale yellow and delft-blue; d deep red and reseda green are so handled as to give decidedly Japanese effect to these patterns.
 French linen "Taffetas" as such goods are called are shown in Louis XV. and Louis VI designs while the shadow tapestries from the same sourc that are alike on both sides come both in floral patterns of the Louis periods and in foliage designs that represent the vegetation of the jungle with bright colored tropical birds introduced. These cost from $2.5O tos3.50 in the double fold width.
 The Popular Styles.
 It is however the creuonnes that re- tail at from 30 to 30 cents which are most in demand whether in domestic or imported weaves. These come in both light and dark weaves and can in many cases be matched in wall hangings. though it is now considered better style to have the walls in plain tones of the prevailing color of the cretonnes, or if figured walls in plain tones of the prevailing order of the cretonnes, or if figured wall coverings are liked to use plain colored weaves for the upholsteries and heavy hang ings.
 Window Draperies.
 For use with the style of furnish ing that is now so faddish simple, light curtains are used against the window. Dainty muslin that launder nicely in the bed rooms, and nets of various mesh in the lower rooms.

POST AFTER BEARD
Hartford Paper Tries to Show
Poll Censor He Wasted
Good Time.
COMMENTS ON LETTERS
Says Polls Was Polite and Dignified--
Characterizes Episode as Quix-
otto Warfare.

Bridgeport, Aug 2S.-The complaint
Of the Rev. Gerald II. Beard, pastor of
the Park Street Congregational church,
to Mayor Lee, against the recent per-
formances at Polls theatre Of "Sapho,'
and the Incidents connected herewith,
have been generally discussed by the
newspapers Of the state.
The Hartford Post says edtorially:
REV. Gerald II. Beard, the Bridge
port censor, has heard from Manager
Poll, the theatrical magnate, In regard
to the reverend gentleman's recent de-
mand upon the Bridgeport mayor for
the suppression Of a play that occupied
the boards of Mr.. Polls Bridgeport
theatre a few weeks ago. Coming on
top of the letter addressed to him by
Mayor Lee, on the same subject, this
episode Of Mr. Polls will doubtless
serve to satisfy Mr. Beard that he has
wasted a lot Of good time, brain ener-
gy and stationery In a Quixotic war
fare and to about as much effect as
his other frenzied oratorical lombard
ment Of United States Senator Bulke-
ley.
Mr.. Polls letter Is polite, dignifled
and civil--of a pattern which Mr.. Beard
might copy to his own Improvement.
He informs the minister that. AS a
heavy taxpayer IN Bridgeport as we'll
as III other cities of Connecticut, and
as an, amusement manager with a ellen
teie RECRUITED in the large majority
from ladies and children It Is naturally
my desire and my purpose at all times
to exclude from my theaters anything
that may SAVIOR of immortality or Of
fend the decencles. And | am always
glad to welcome from you and from
others any suggestions that MAY tend
to aid me In this direction. 1t Is fol

premises, make known to me first you

forms of its advertising, and hear my
case before seeking to place me II

The play which the minister desired
TO suppress Mr.. Poll says, was in M
way offensive, and contained 'nothint
TO which any high-minded and right
thinking person could make the slight
est objection and he assures the cen
sor that his policy has been, and vii
continue to be, to present perform
ance that Is simply amusing and leave

AFTER TROLLEY co.
East Hartford Judge Criticises
IT for Allowing Drunken
Men on Cars.
COMPANY HAS NO RIGHT
Court Thinks Roads Should Order
Conductors 10 Refuse Intox-
icated Persons.

East Hartford, Aug, 2S.-ln passing
brought before the town court Thurs
day morning charged with dsgraceful
lntoXcatlon on trolley car, Judge
Pratt made the following criticism Of
the practice Of the trolley company
in permitting drunken men to board
cars In the city:
"fhe trolley company has no right
to allow drunken men to be taken on
TO the ears, or course trolley conduc-
tors are Obliged to obey orders Issued
by their supcrlors in the service. and II
Is TO be presumed that they do obey
orders in permitting incbriated peo-
pie TO board cars. But In the iudg-
ment of this court the man In author
ity over the running of the cars should
order their conductors 10 absolutely re-
| fuse to take man on to a car when
he is in an intoxicated condition.
| A trolley car is not an asylum OF
refuge for drunken men, and their
acceptance as passengers II an imposi-
ton on the travelling public. and,
when police officers are present as
they were In this case, and advised
that the accused be put aboard the
ear and got out of the city, II Is
scathing commentary on police neglect
in the performance of duty. Intoxi-
Gated men should be taken care Of by
the authorities in the town where they
become drunk They ought not to be
taken onto trolley cars TO the annoy
ance and disgust OF decent passengers
and carried out of the city into adj
dining towns and then chucked of the
car into the middle of the street and
left TO disturb the peace and outrage
the public until taken In by local
authorities or Injured on the railway
tracks.
This Is not an Isolated case,--it Is
but a single instance Of what Is con-
stantly occurring In the town Of East
I Hartford as a result of the practice
} of the trolley company complained Of,
The blame lies with the trolley man
! agement for not Issuing positive or
ders to their conductors not to take
intoxicated men aboard cars when
their condition and presence on the
car is obnoxious and lntolcrable to
other passengers. Civic patience ceas-
! es TO be virtue when such unneces-
sary annoyances are continued
