HIGH SCHOOL SITE
 PRESENTED TO WINDHAM.
Mrs. Jane Holland of Boston Gives Absolutely Free Property Which Will Meet Every Requirement..

A resolution to appropriate $71,0oo for a new high school and the purchase of suitable site therefor, will in all probability be turned out at the special town meeting called Tor wednesday night. This does not mean that the town of Windham will not have new high school, and that it will have a better me than as first planned by some $11,000. The reason for this, and the likelihood is that the town will be givon a site absolutely free of cost. Charles W. Aipaugh, manager Of the Holland Manufacturing company, re- ceiVed a letter from Mrs. Jane Holland of Boston Friday evening, which stat ed that she would give the town of Windham all the land it wished for the proposed high school. The Holland site is in the central part of the city and easily accessible. much more so than the location of the present school. being situated at the corner of Chest nut and Prospect streets It is in an excellent residential section of the city and has a fine grove toward the back. The lot has a frontage of about 200 feet on Prospect street and between 400 and 500 on Chestnut street. The expense for grading will be small. and the site will meet all requirements. Williman- tic has long been wishing that she had home phllanthropically inclined citi- zens. but if this magnaniInous offer is not the finest kind of all the word iTn- plies, the voters will have to be shown why it is not so.
 Dr. George E. Wilcox thinks the proposition the finest ever. and he will not be alone with the citizens If Wind ham hear the glad tidings.

WILLIMANTlC.
Only Three sprinters Start for Hike to
 Hartford

1dTITOrQs
 City Sheriff William s. Congdon, Jack White and John McKenna were the only ones to show up of the six who had planned to walk to Hartford Friday morning. The trio started from the postotfice at a. Tn. and expected to be in the Capitol City in time for an early breakfast. All three are good sticl1ers, and are supposed to be near ly as good as the best in this part of the country at the walking game.
 Robert J. McNell was supposed to make one of the party but it Is re- ported that he was late in arriving at the starting point, and that he never theless, undaunted, started out and hit Up fast pace as far as the Windham county courthouse, but in attempting to cross the trolley tracks at that point caught his foot and threw himself.
 The mishap somewhat dampened his ardor, and he decided to call the att tempt and catch up with the leaders off. and went back home to have an- other refreshing nap.
 Sheriff Congdon stated upon the re- turn of the pedestrians to this city by train that the party made the trip to Hartford in exactly seven and one half hours, and walked every step of the way. As the near Westons were passing through the quiet hamlet of Hanover it started to rain, and when they arrived at Bolton. near the Notch, it poured. Had the weather condi- tions been favorable, the Thread City walkers are of the opinion that the time would have been faster by at least ten or fifteen minutes. and that would have been going some. It Is supposed to be 30.5 miles to Hartford via the railroad, and the highway is longer.

Walkina Match Protected.

A number of sports about the city are trying to arrange a walking match betwen Micky Mccarthy and Dick Wilson. The latter is considered the better man of the two by many, who say they know the respective merits of each in the pedestrian line
 The match being projected calls for a walk from this city through the Wind hams and return. Several think that Wilson could turn the trick in some thing less than an hour and three quarters. but there are others who are equally confident that Mccarthy could give him handicap and then make 'he Foot Bridge a winner by a margin. Unless plans fail. the race will be walked next week some time.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear There is. only one way to cure deaf ness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be ured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars, free.
