COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Connecticut Household Win
 Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove com forting words to hundreds of Connecticut readers.
 Mrs. M. Wagner, of 1897 Kossuth St., Bridgeport, Conn. says: Il suffered for years from kidney trouble. There was severe pain across my Joins so that l could not rest at night. When l caught cold it settled in my kidneys and at such times I became weak, and also very nervous. After trying several remedies without relief procured Doan's Kidney Pills at F. s. Stevens drug store, and they soon relieved me of the aches and pains. The nervous and weak feeling also left me. I can speak as highly in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills to-day as did six years ago when l recommended hem through the papers.

The Gates of ParadisA.

Once in Il year and at one place in the world there is crush that sur passes anything else of it's kind in the
 world Ii is the great fair of Bawa Farid. which is annually held in the town of Pax Pattan. in British India
 It is held in honor of the famous St
 Farid- Din surnamed Shakar Ganj, or sugar store. from the fact that his body had become so pure by continual fasting that whatever was put into his mouth. even earth and stones. was in- stantly changed into sugar. The prin- cipal ceremony consists of passing through an opening made in wall ad- joining the shrine measuring 5 by 215 feet and called ''the gates of paradise. Whoever between noon and night is able to pass through this opening is as- sured of paradise. and when there are striving to pass through at the same time the crush is something ter rife. Women faint, bones are broken, and the heat is stiding.

 DEATH OF L. B. BALL.
 Died at Ware. June l3, 1908. l.. B. Ball, age 2.
 Local Base Ball died at Ware to- day, after an illness of several weeks. It was noticed Memorial day that MT. Ball was not as strong as formerly, and he has failed steadily since. In the solemn hush that follows the breaking down of a good old wagon, it is but philosophical that we look through the mist that blinds our eyes to see what lessons, if any, may be learned from our misfortune, hoping that through she shower of pearly tear drops we may see the prismatic colors of the rainbow of hope. Perchance the anguish of our present sorrow may gradually fade to a calmer and less poignant sense of loss, and that still later we may reach 8 peaceful condition of resignation to the inev- itable. One of the saddest thoughts in connection with this mournful event is that it should have occurred in Ware, where it is almost impos- sible to getSthe gate receipts, accord ing to Stafford. Ware may be a good place to live, in license years. but it is the last plAUe at present that base ball or anybody else would want to be found dead in. Had the event oc- cured on our own beautiful grounds, with the setting sun lengthening the shadows of the grand old trees, with the lovely valley spread out in the hay distance. it would have been more bearahle. If it could have hap pened on the local field after ? to victory over Stafford, with the loyal fans standing around in fearful silence with bowed heads, the blow would not have been SO severe. Even if it could have happened in Stafford it would not lave been so bad, as the Stafford sports would have sorrowed in our sorrow and would have con- tributed for Q sheAf of wheat or a floral bat. But to die far from home, in hostile country, with none present but Father Dempsey and few of the near mourners. is indeed 8 keen blow from Fate. Local base ball leaves nine orphans, some of whom will be adopted in other families.

For Beginning Work on Two Rattleships.
President Threat Effective.
A Washington special says: As the
senate was about to conclude consider
ton of the naval appropriation bill
Thursday, Senator Piles, of Washing
ton.. proposed an amendment increas-
ing from two to four the number Of
new battleships to be authorized. As
several senators desired to speak on
the amendment, the further considera-
ton OF the bill was postponed until
Friday.
An amendment to the naval bill was
adopted appropriating $7,0oo.ooo to be-
gin construction on the two battle
ships authorized by the bill as 1t was
passed by the house. This amendment
was in response to the threat of Pres
ident Roosevelt to veto the bill IL it
was sent to him with a provision for
warships, but without an appropriation
to begin work on them.
A spirited debate occurred on the
amendment for the restriction Of the
purchase Of materials for the construc-
ticn of the battleships, submarine
boats. ETC., to those of domestic manu-
facture.
Amendments to remove the restris-
ton from the bill were defeated. Mr..
Hale stating that since the investiga-
ton of the steel trust some years ago
the price Of steel armor had been re-
duced from $3.50 and $500 per ton to
s416 per ton, and Mr.. Beveridge de-
clared that the United States pays less
for its armor plate than any other ma
ton, except Japan.
