THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

Every new tariff bill arouses a
 storm of protest from the various in terests that are hit by the changes.
 It is no easy job which the Payne
 Bill is seeking to do, for it must raise
 anywhere from $125,000,000 to $150, 0,0OO,OC0 more than it's prede-
 cessor. Our country is getting to
 be larger all the time and warships
 and other things are expensive lux
 uries. It is claimed that the raise
 in rates will affect the ladies most of all. Kid gloves, of which over five
 million dozen pairs are annually im- ported, have been raised to $4 a dozen. Stockings, furs and feathers are also put under heavy tribute. h. deed so heavy is the tax which is being laid on ladies goods that it is claimed that body of clubs repre- senting 2,000,000 women are being aroused to fight against tie proposed new Tariff Bill. Women may not be voters but ,'ongrrss may well beware of getting the women of the country down on them. If they cannot vote they can at lelst influence votes. Another thing which will be likely to arouse the ire of the ladies is a new tax on tea and also a tax on coffee. It may be sorry day for the lawmakers if the ladies get after
 the tariff bill over the tea-cups. It is very certain if all the women of the country get down on the tariff bill the party that esronses 1t will he put in a dead box at the next cleo tion. Perfumery and ribbons and faces may seem to be insignificant things to MT Payne but he may have cause to remember that there was certain emperor of Rome who was cho' ked to death by hair. It is a hard job to raise the tariff and get a revenue large enough and yet please the people.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT
Against the Western Union Telegraph
 Company.

To the Editor of The Newtown Bee
 I am glad to see you print your sub,
 scibers letter regarding the w. U
 Tel. Co. foreman who thinks his com. ! pany owns the earth, whether they
 pay for it or not. You are fearless
 editor and your paper is o. K.; but
 excuse me for thinking that your good Bee does not sting hard enough
 If you want your Bee to do it's duty please send one of your reporters to
 look over some of the FOOT, old, shaky
 poles which have grown so old in the service of the Telegraph Go. that
 they can hardly stand up straight and fear that one of these days they
 will commit suicide. I am sure your
 reporter will agree that many of
 these poles are dangerous to life and limb, and if one of them should fall the result IGay be disastrous to some of our children who pass them daily going to and from school, and many of these poles are right near the schoolhouse at Huntingtown. Will you please call the attention of our Selectmen to this matter and permit them to take half day off and take a nice little ride from Newtown to Easton, and console some of these old poles, promising them substitutes in the near future, and have them plead with said poles to have a little more patience and remain peacefully at their posts till their boss will send them relief, and at the same time they should write to the w. U. T. Co. asking them to take care of these poor poles who served them so faith fully for nearly three score years. ..nd to the servants of the people who will do this be praise honor and glory, and an excellent chance for reelection. Yours truly.-[A New ToME Man.

NEURALGIA CURED
A Case at Hartford Showing the Wonderful Result Obtained by the Tonic Treatment
 for Nervous Troubles.

There is absolutely no way of reach
 ing the nerves with medicine exeepl through the blood. The nerves receive all of their nourishment and support from the blood which, under healthful conditions, carries the clements needed to rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
 Many who are now tortured with neuralgia will read with interest the following statement of Mrs. William Cotter, of No. II Belden street, Hart. ford, Conn. Mrs. Cotter was cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills and has since enjoyed excellent health. She says:
 q was taken with neuralgia few years ago and think the attack was due to taking cold. l Twas under doctors care and also took several remedies but found only temporary relief. l suffered untold misery for nearly ten years and feared I never would be cured. The pains were in my head and face and when they came on I would have to give up and lie down. My face would swell up so that my eyes would close. Ere quently the pains would come on me suddenly when was sweeping or doing some other kind of housework.
 q decided to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills when 8 neighbor recommended them to me. In less than month l was greatly benefited but continued with the treatment until cured. l have had no return of the neuralgia but keep Dr. Williams Pink Pills constantly on hand ss believe they are 8 wonderful house. hold remedy"
 In cases of nervousness, as neuralgia, nervous debility and even partial par alysis and locomotor ataxia, the logical treatment is through the blood, curing by removing the cause of the disease. This is the mission of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They act directly on the blood, purifying it and making new blood. They are for this reason also an invaluable remedy in diseases arising from bad or deficient blood, as rheuma- tism, anemia, after effects of the grip and levers. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drug and cannot injure the most deli. cate system.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes, $250, by the Dr. Will Hams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

REMINISCENCE.

The writer thought 1t would be
 interesting to the readers of The Bee
 10 learn something of the picturesque village ol Dodgingtown. As most
 people Know 1t is located on the
 northern eorneR of the globe, between
 the longitude of Elmwood Heights and that of Pleasant Hill and be-
 tween the latitude of Wild Cat and
 that or Bogus. Because of its being situated on a most beautiful lake the climate IS most decidedly changed in
 winter, while in summer its scenery IS beyond comparison. So naturally It's citizens boast of the very healthy and inyigorating atmosphere twelve months of the year and its good roads the rest of the time. And too, Dodg- ingtown Is very enterprising place. At the present writing it has a high school, Ca school on high ground) an up-to-date feed store, a complete one-horse department store, and one or two carriage factories where horseshoe nails and glmlets may be found and where engines and auto- mobiles are turned out. Farming is the industry most extensively taken up, of which perhaps MT Hue and Henry o. Schaff are the most promi- nent, having some of their crops we'll under ground if not under headway. Some of it's fast horses can be seen almost any night tearing down the square, the ribbons being handled by veterans of capability and wide ex- perience. We regret to add that al- though many of the younger of the gentler sex have been sorted from the inhabitants, the census of 1870 was not wanting in that respect. On the whole, Dodgingtown is most in- viting place in which to live, espe- cially so think the people from New York. Therefore we do not think it that its real estate is boom- ing for all it is wortn.-[A Greek Historian.

THE DWINDLING AMERICAN
 FAMILY

w. S. Roster of the census bur eau has published an article in which he draws some comparisons between the size of the American family as shown ty the census of 179O and 1900. From his figures it appears that the average white American family has shrunk from an average of 5S in 1790 to 46 in 1900. That is taking the country as a whole every family has one child less than it used to have. Of child ren under 16 years of age the aver age in Colonial days was 2S. Now it is only IS. It appears from the comment which MI Rosters article has aroused that in all civilized countries the birth rate is decreas- ing. On the other hand the empty cradle has one compensation in the fact that the death rate of infants has also greatly decreased. The ex- pectancy for life has risen some 15

THE NEW YORK BRIDGES.

Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883, is one mile long (75S0 feet to be exact) and cost nearly fifteen million dollars to build. There are now completed, or soon to be completed, four bridges and three sets of tunnels connecting New York and Long Island and the underground tube systems connect ins New York and the Jersey shore. The other bridges which are built are the Williamsburg, which was opened in 1903, is 7275 feet long ard cost about twenty million dol ,ais, the Que-. .'sboro, which has been recently opened and is 7636 feet long and also cost about twenty million dollars, and the new Manhattan wh oh is still under construction and spans the East river between the and Williamsburg bridges.
