OBITUARY.
Michael J. McMahon.

Michael J. McMahoon, whose death occurred in Passaic, N. J., on
 September IF, 1909, and whose re- mains were inferred in St Roses cemetery, was the oldest son of the
 late Martin and Mary Bradley McMa- hon of this town. Heawas brought up in Middle District and attended sctool thera. The early death of his father compelled his withdrawal from school and he entered the em- ploy of the rubber company in San dy Hook when quite young, where he remained until the removal of the main plant to New Jersey. The com pany was glad to secure his services as foreman of the belt room, ard be- ing of a quick mechanical turn of mind he rapidly advanced until other departments were rlaced in his charge. His long apprenticeship in the old shop at Sandy Hook at once stood him well and redounded to the dvan'aee of the concern. He was very popular with his fellow workers and never took kindly to the snobbish airs of boss, but was always on the ievel with every employe, whom he considered a co-worker, not a sub- ordinate. He was also popular so- ciall in the circle in which he moved. He was vice-president of the order of Eagles in Passaic at his death and he retained his membership in the Foresters, being member in good standing of Court Sandy Hook. His death was caused by neuralgia from which he occasionally suffered, which a few days before his death, struck the region of the heart. His age was 38 years. In 1894 he was married to Miss Nellie McNamara of this town, and the union was blessed with four children namely. Rowland, helen, Evelyn anu Mary, who, to- sether with their mother, are left to mourn the loss of good husband and indulgent father. Besides these bereaved ones the deceased is sur vived by two sisters and one brother, Mrs Homer Conger of Sandy Hook and Mrs Thomas Faulkner of Dan bury and Patrick F. McMahon of Newtown.

John Heating has taken a position in the freight office of the New York and New Haven road at Bridgeport.

The No License Committee of New Milford are making a valiant fight against the saloon interest in that town, and The Bee hopes for their success. Through their large adver-. tisement in The Bee on the No-Li- cense question, they are placing this sound principle before the voters of that town, and other towns also will profit by the zeal and ernestness of the New Milford brethren. It is mighty hard to get up a good argu- ment for the saloon traffic, and no people know this fact better than the men enga ged in the business.

sT|NGs OF BEES CURE
RHEUMATIC SUFFERER

REDDING, August 4.-Tortured by
rheumatic pains from which he has suf-
fered for months, James r. Holt, head
of the contracting firm of Holt & Gregg
of this city. submitted himself to the
stings of thirty-nine honey bees yester-
day, and today walked to his Office for
the first time in many days, declaring
that his Joints were as timber as those
of boy.
Holt has been so badly crippled with
the disease for some months that he
was compelled to use a carriage to go
from his home to his office, three blocks
away. He spent two months taking the
baths at a mineral spring, famous Tor
alternating the sufferings of rheumatic
patients. but was not benefited.
At last, on the advice of friend, ne
submitted to the singing treatment.
Ten or dozen bees were applied to
each aching joint, while the patient
writhed with the pain Of their stlngs.
After it was over he became nauseated,
and chill lasting more than two hours
followed
He retired for the night and finally
fell asleep. When he awoke this morn
ing. he was surprised to feel no aching
in his Joints He found that they had
imbered up completely during the
night, and he walked to his office, de
claring he had not felt SO well before
in the last ten years.
