DISCONTENT GROWS
 AMONG MACHINISTS

Following upon the heels of the re- quests for betterment of organized bodies of labor on the New Haven road. it was stated last night that the 8fachinists' union on the system will also ask for an improvement of its present condition
 There Is much talk upon this mat ter between the men in the New Ha- ven shops and those employed in a similar capacity at the great Read New Haven It seems to be the feel ing among these men in New Haven that they should be guaranteed a weeks work of forty-eight hours. with an increase of pay amounting to three cents per hour for skilled workers A proposition to this effect. is being framed up for presentation to the rail- road company
 The Readville men have also a sim liar plan on foot. This undertaking coming as it does in the train of the rfcent efforts which have been put forth. and which are now making with the freight clerks. the locomotive engineers and the locomotive dremen shows that the big pocketbook of the big road is being attacked on all sides.
 No other organized bodies remain to act in this direction in New Haven than the trafnmen, the switchmen, the trackmen and the telegraphers- The latter win be heard from before long. it is stated

NEW HAVEN ROAD GETS ROUTE INTO NEW YORK
 BESIDES N. Y. CENTRAL

New Haven. Dec. 2.-Another strate- sic step in the progress of railroad building in New England by the New Haven road nas come to light. as ft is understood that preliminary steps have been taken for the extension of the New York. and Westehester pro 5ect of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad company northward through Westchester county. New York to connect with the Poughkeepsie Bridge system. of the New Haven
 This, however. Ia rniror. sisnifI- canoe of the extension. The Tough keepsie Bridge system itself connects at Campbell Hall. N. r.. with the New York Ontario and Western. with its double lines. running to the coal re- gions and to the lakes The New Ha- ven company has of late been inn proving rapidly the Poughkeepste Bridge system. including the double tracking of the line from Poughkeep- sic Bridge to New Haven
 With the completion of the New York and Westchester lines and it's extensions. the New Haven will give both the Poughkeepsie Bridge system and the Ontario and Western new entrance into New York. in addition to the terminal opposite New York which the Ontario and Western now has by trackage rights over the West Shore road
 In the fulilment of the New Ha- ven's plans 1t will thus have a sys- tenn Of several hundreds of miles of roads, part of it almost of a west ern trunk line character and entering New York city
 This news. coming from an accept ed source, satisfies those familiar with the railroad situation in this state, that the New Haven road is steadily at work upon a policy of controlling access to New York city-regardless of the New York Central. whose lines it is now compelled to use for passen- ger traffic
 Some of the wiseacres think that 1t marks a step in another move of the Pennsylvania system to surround New York as much as possible with points of railway access. the belief quite gen. eral that the Pennsylvania and the New Haven road will sultimately ar rive at a more intimate understand ing than they have now.
 The construction of the great rail- way bridge by the New Haven and the Pennsylvania over Hell Gate is ex- pected to be begun shortly. When 1t is completed trains will run in com piete sections direct from the west under New York city. and over East river.

WANTED GRASSHOPPERS
 AND HE GOT THEM
Won't Eat Anything Else.

"Wanted-Grasshopp will pay cents each for fat ones. All Williams. | Ford hotel"
 This startling want ad was inserted
 in a Phoenix paper few days ago. The results were immediate. At this time of the vcar when the frosty
 nights have set in the supply of grass hoppers is not SD large as earlier in
 the season. Al Williams wanted few
 grasshoppers and he got them. For the particular purpose for which the hoppers were wanted enc or two dozen
 would have been ample. When he had finally convinced the last boy that he
 did not want any more hoppers the
 front office of the Ford was full of
 them. They got in the ink bottles ana
 trailcd black streaks scross the regis
 ter they hopped up and down the bar.
 ana revelled in d puddle of beer on
 the floor.
 The advertisement was not a prac- tical joke. A few days ago Gus Hey
 man came up from Mexico and brought with him an armadillo. This animal
 was presented to Williams and Half ner and they added it to their me-
 nagerie. The armadilo was asked to look over the Ford menu and select
 his dinner He turned up his nose at 7 all tho delicacies. Williams got out
 d book on Animal Life in the Tropics" and learned that the armadillos delight
 is ants and srasshoppers. Williams de-
 cided to provide his pet with two dozen
 grasshoppers on the half shell. Hence the advertisement
 Friday morning small army of boys invaded the Ford hotel. some had
 pasteboard boxes with holes punched
 through the cover. From within there
 sounded a continual humping like someone knocking on the front door. others brought paper bags full of hop pers. and still others had them loose in their pockets. Some of them were as big as humming birds and escaped
 while they were being counted. Others were maliciously released in the office when it was learned that Williams
 would buy no more of them at the pre-
 vailing rate of cents d head. The in- | telligent insects hopped about the floor and the chairs and alighted gently
 on the coats and sleeves of the guests. ! The hotel looked as though it had been stricken with the plague of seventeen i year lOcusts.
 Yesterday the armadillo was taken | in charge by l.. LaChance. of tho Wakelin grocery. who will be its keep ! CT for the present and see to its du- | cation.
 Williams was asked yesterday what | he did with the surplus of hops" T shipped them to the Prescott | Brewing company" he responded  1 eheerfully.

Chronic Catarrh is
 a Blood Disease
Which Can Never Be Cured By the Use of Atomizcrs, Douches, Snuffs,
 or Other Local Treatments.

Long ago physicians found out that the very prevalent disease called ca tarrh was not primarily local trouble. but systematic or constitutional blood disorder instead. For many years before this discovery. people were in the habit of using all kinds of local applications in their efforts to cure the catarrh. and they never Sue ceeded iE obtaining more than tempo rary relief.
 When the blood is absolutely pure. catarrh cannot exist but when it be- comes filled with impurities through faulty elimination. the mucous mem brane. which lines all the internal or gans of the body. and normally SC cretes a clear. soothing fluid. becomes inflamed. and the mucous fluid changes to an irritating. poisonous eX cretion.
 People in this climate are very much subject to catarrh of the throat and nose. especially in the winter months and the lining membrane of the air passages becomes congested and inflamed. and this. together with an impoverished condition of the blood, produces the flow of morbid catarrhal secretion.
 When the blood is impure. it not only sends out the excess of impuri ties through the pores in the shape of boils. pimples and carbuncles. etc, but very often eliminates them through the mucous membrane, also. and the result is catarrhal condition. In view of the foregoing facts. the ab- surdity of attempting to cure catarrh through local applications. should be apparent tO all.
 STUARTS CALCIUM WATERS. the great ood-cleansing remedy. has been the means of curing thousands of cases of catarrh. when all other rem edes. both local and general have utterly failed. The reason is simple and easily explained. These little wafers contain calcium sulphide. and other powerful alternatives and blood purifiers. Which cleanse the blood current so thorougly and elimi- nate the systems poisons and impuri- ties so efficiently that the catarrhal disease has nothing to live upon and thrive upon. and the result is the com pidilit iS CuEtu III d iitdTN tipuSlN SucIl time.
 Stuart's Calcium Waters have long enjoyed the reputation of being the most powerful blood-cleaning. skin disease removing. and catarrh cure in existence Persons who catch cold easily and who are subject to any of the well-known symptoms of this com plaint. such as excessive secretion of mucous in the throat and nasal cavity. hoarseness. snuffles. coughs. frequent sneezing. etc. should use this powerful blood remedy. and by purifying the system absolutely. rid themselves per manently of catarrh. as well as of pimples. boils, blackheads. carbuncles and other external indications of i'm poverished blood.
 Purchase a package of Stuarts Cal cium Waters from your druggist for 90 cents and get rid of your catarrh and your pimples Also send us your name and address and sample will be sent you free. Address F. X. Stuart Co. l15 Stuart Bldg. Marshall Mich.
