KIDNAPPED HIMSELF.

NEW YORK, April 24~-John Tay-
lor, a 70 year old boy, 5crawled into
A box car at Northampton, Pa; last
Monday to take a nap. When he
awoke the car, which was loaded
with cement, consigned to a New
York firm, was moving, and the door
locked. As policeman was passing
the car here yesterday he heard
means and when the door was fore
ed open he found Taylor almost dead
from starvation. He was cared for
by the police and will recover.

valuable things on the list were not
to be found Many Of the purchasers
thus fooled accepted the situation
with good grace, while others storm
ed the customs Offices and demanded
their money back. They we're polite
ly received and their attention was
called to a printed remark upon their
bills Of sale, stating that mo allow
ance will be made for any deficiency
or discrepancy found"

rather daze the hearers. They won dered if it were not an iridescent dream. Its most powerful appeal doubtless lies in the promise of big prices for the land thus placed on the market and the fact that the launching of the project will be at the expense of some outsider willing to assume all the financial risks. The proposed shutting out of a trolley line probably provokes the strongest dissent. As is pointed out, however. the land for an electric or other railroad may be taken by con- demnation proceedings whether the owners are agreeable or not And then as one cheerful citizen remarked, 'FWho will want a trolley anyway in the good time coming. We shall all get rich by the sale of our back pasture lots and be in the motor car class
 Some also demur to the restrictions proposed in regard to the cutting of trees foreseeing therein obstacles to getting fire wood and timber. This ap- prehension is unfounded however, as the restriction applies only to the wood land which passes under the control of the trust The same is true of the pro- posed hunting restriction and of the extension of nut and berry gathering privileges to all residents and their guests. It is the trust controlled land only which is intended to become a park or common.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of the Farmer, Sir:
 In your issue of December 29, an ar ticle appeared headed Want Medical Inspection in Public Schools" in which the Board of Health desire the Board of Education to cooperate with them in ipstituting a system of in- spection of school children, and for which they suggest that the Board of Apportionment appropriate the sum of s2. cool
 The modesty and disinterestedness of these philanthropic gentlemen is plainly shown in their demand for that insignificant amount
 Who wants this medical inspection? ? Have the parents requested it?
 What is the real object of this sud- den awakening to the dangers that be- set our school children?
 What good will be accomplished by saddling this additional expense upon the tax payers? What particular evil will this inspection business discover, invent or destroy?
 Have the gentlemen of the Board of Health presented any good reason for the introduction of this new system of placing us under the management of this medical trade union oligarchy? i Have the people of the city demand ed any such supervision as these gen. tlemen presume to bestow upon us. Cprovided they are we'll paid for it?
 Is it because the good sense of the Board of Education deprived them of the opportunity of securing vaccina- tion fees, that they seek this means of recompensing themselves?
 The fact that seventy four other cities have adopted the system ar gues snothing in it's favor; other cities have compelled vaccination as con- dition of admission to school; but that does not prove tito be right.
 If the Board of Health would devote their energies to the proper work of their office, attend to the cleaning up of the, many filthy places in our city, and encourage compliance with they would be doing more towards warding off epidemics than they can by exercising their scientific mania for hunting the bugs in school children s heads and the adenoids in their noses.
 If. one-half<of the appropriation ask ed Tor medical inspection could be ex- pended in furnishing our teachers with some of the many excellent magazines which teach true hygiene, and our jam itors were compelled to observe strict ly the necessary sanitary rules in the care of school houses. more definite good could be accomplished, than by any system of medical inspection which these very disinterested gentlemen will adopt.
 Tn plain English. is this another means of putting the people in the power of this medical oligarchy, and securing so much graft?
 Will this system be of any great as- sistance in hunting up patients to be- gin experiments with in the new tu- berculosis hospital?

''The Montana Limited" is the new est and, according to the judgment of the managers. the best popular priced attraction now before the public. 1t will be seen here the first three days of next week. with daily matinees. The story deals with Western charac- ters, and it's situations are essentially dra matic; they thrill by the force of the story they convey. There is a big scene in sThe Montana Limited' that of the robbery of an express train. that adds to the dramatic in- tensity of the play by it's realism and adherence to dramatic form. Coupled with this there is a pretty love story. the whole being enlivened by unusual 1y bright comedy and character draw ings of power and attractiveness. The play is staged on a scale of splendOr unusual with popular priced attrac- one Of even strength and dramatic poise.
 The opera to be presented by the Boston Opera Singers next Thursday evening is Verdi's I'll Trovatore'' This opera is undoubtedly the most popular of grand operas ever sung. and the various numbers it contains are great favorites with concert artists.
 
 Among the theatrical productions this season is the comedy drama "Thorns and Orange Blossoms,' a dramatization of Bertha H. Clay's ex- tensively read book of the same name. The story of the piece is in part Eng fish, but much brightness is infused by tn introduction of American com edy that is consistently and most llu- morously put. As a scenic production nothing has been omitted that would lend to it's attractiveness and the com rany is of the better sort in detail, even the smallest parts being in thor oughly competent and experienced hands. ''Thorns and Orange Blos- soms'' comes next Friday and Satur- day. with daily matinees.

FREE DISPENSARY FOR CONSERVATIVES

The Anti-Tuberculosis league dispen- sary in the Police Building is nearing completion and will probably be ready at the end of next week.

THINGS IN FEATHERS
Poultry Show Opens at Lincoln Hall
 Tuesday Evening Jan. l2.

There will be over 800 birds in the show of the Bridgeport Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association at Lincoln hall, Jan. 12, 13 and A. besides the cats, pigeons, ducks, geese, guinea fowl and freaks, so that the exhibition will make a noble showing considering it is the first effort of the local asso- citation. 1.-The quality of the show will be of !. the Madison Square Garden brand and the cream of the State in the poultry line will be displayed. To those who have never seen a really first class poultry show, or who are unacQuainted with the numerous diff ferent fine breeds it will be a reveIa- tjon
 The fanciers, of course, are convers- ant with the many different kinds of birds, but to most people chickens is chickens just as 'eggs is eggs" and to that class of patrons the show will be liberal education in feathers. Poultrynen will find much to admire in fine lines, feathering, color, etc, and the judging will be by experts who will be influenced only by the points of superiority which the birds show.

THR SPIRIT oF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with us, mak- ing it's presence known in many differ ent ways-sometimes by cheery sum- shine and glistening snows, and some- times by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is wonder that more people don't get rid of these ail- ments. The medicine that cures them Hoods Sarsaparilla-is easily obtain ed and there is abundant proof that it's cures are radical and permanent.
