DUDLEY BUCK
 REJECTED DEGREE

The death of Dudley Buck, one of the best known and most prominent of the American composers. recalls an interesting fact of his life which con- meets this Hartford man with Yale university. Dudley Buck had the dis tinction of being one of the two men who have publicly declined honorary degrees offered them by Yale univer- sity and was one of three known to have done so, the third man having declined offers not made publicly as the other two have been.
 It was a great many years ago, be- fore the foundation of the department of music at Yale. that Dudley Buck was offered by the university the hon. orary degree of Doctor Of Music, a de gree considered quite highly by com posers. He declined the degree, giv- ing as the reason for his action that Yale had no department of music and therefore had no right to confer any such degree.
 The only other man who ever pub lic1y turned down an honorary degree offered him by Yale was the Rev Leonard Bacon who declined the prized Doctor of Divinity degree. This was
 about the same time that Dudley Buck took his stand against his degree. The Rev. Joseph Twichell of Hart ford is known to have been offered tht same degree again and again in 'pri vate and each time he has declined tt accept it.

ARTIST TO WE'D
 MANICURE GIRL
Frederick E. Bartlett Fell in Love Will Miss Kampf While She Fixed His
 Nails.

New York, Oct. S.-Frederick E.
 Bartlett, an artist. now living at the
 Grand Union Hotel, took out a license
 yesterday to marry Viola Agnes
 Kampf, manicurist. of 1,467 Amster-
 dam avenue. MT. Bartlett is 57 years
 old. His fancee is IS. Behind their visit to the License Bureau at City Hall is the story of MT. Bartlett's s meeting a year ago with Miss Kampf, who at that time worked in barber'S shop in Fourth avenue.
 Frederick B. Bartlett is a son of the late Col William H. c. Bartlett. who was for years Professor of Philosophy at West Point. The artist was born at the academy. He studied at West Point for a time, and then came to
 New York where he took up art MT. Bartlett also put in four years study ing in Paris under Carolus Duran, and
 in the south of France under Hypolite
 Michaud. For some years he had a studio in this city, giving his atten- tion exclusively to landscape. and marine work.
 He has not done much in the last | two years, and until recently he has 1 been living in Yonkers. On one of his frequent trips to this city about year 1 ago, MT. Bartlett entered the barber S shop in which Miss Kampf was em- ploved. She attended to his nails and MT. Bartlett became interested in her The artist was willing to talk of his i love affair, though he depored the i publicity that has come to him.
 'I met the young woman who is to | become my wife a year ago." he said. we were attracted to each other from | the first, and after many meetings proposed and found my love returned. 1 Now we are going to be married. Miss Kampf and I are in perfect harmony. 1 and, indeed, I believe that it was our | nutua! interest in many subjects that 1 helped to draw us together.
 'Yes, there is a difference in age | but what is age when one lovesi My | wife to De does not like young men, | She has said that she likes men who are mature, and. besides if she and ] | agree, what matters all the rest.' | The date for the wedding, the artist said, had not been agreed upon,

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevolutioniZed
 the Treatment of Skin Diseases


 Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the marvellous skin remedy known as pos lam, which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin dls- eases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne herpes, tetter, piles, salt. rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp ana every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear al- most immediately when poslam is ap- piled, the complexion being cleared overnight.
 Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 jar, and either of these may be ob- tained in Bridgeport at Jennie Hamli- tons Pharmacy as well as other rell- able drug stores.
 Eut no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining an eX- perimental package which will be sent by mail, free of charge, upon request, by the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty-fift street, New York City.

MEDICINES MADE FROM
 ROOTS AND HERBS.

In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they depended upon medicines made from the roots and herbs Of the field to cure disease.
 Lydia B. Pinkhan's Vegetable Com pound, that standard remedy which is made from roots and herbs for wom- ans ills, had it's origin in this way. For thirty years it has been redeeming it's promises written on the label of every bottle by curing thousands of women of feminine ills. It's good honest medicine.
