The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-10-29

Electors who happen to be in the center of the city tomorrow night who have not had an opportunity to hear any of the candidates should not miss the big down town rally to be held at Warner hall. Harry F. Porter will be among the speakers and the Criterion auartette will positively sing.
 For the benefit of a large number of italiau-American voters who are not able to attend rallies on week day nights because of having to retire early to rest for the next working day big mass meeting will be held Sun day afternoon in Sedlar's hall in Will lard street. The demonstration will be under the auspices of the Italian Civic Alliance. This promises to be one of the largest meetings of the campaign as invitations have been sent to every one of the 400 Italian voters in the city. The alliance is making a fight against the system of allowing alleged leaders to claim they control votes. The speakers will urge every man to go to the polls and vote the straight Democratic ticket because of the tax equalization reform that is to come with Democratic administration of the city's affairs. Almost every Italian American property owner in the city is a member of the Italian-American Civic Alliance.
 Attorney Joshua Meltzer, chairman of the committee, has called a rally of Hebrew citizens at Lincoln hall, 62 Cannon street, Sunday. Oct. 31. at D. m. Prominent speakers will dis cuss the issues of the campaign.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS,
Staunton People Have Abso-
Iufe Proof of Deeds at Home,

1t is not words, but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
for Staunton kidney sufferers, have
made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Staun-
ton people who have been cured to stay
cured.
William l.. Rohr, 1O41 Front street,
Staunton, Va, says: ''I used Doan's
Kidney Pills, and the results were sat
isfactory. Kidney complaint was
with me for long time and suffered
from severe pains in my back and
sides. STOPPING or lifting caused sharp
twings to dart through me and L had
to have assistance in getting out of
bed. The kidney secretions were very
irregular in passage, and 1 had but
little control over them. I tried sew
eral advertised remedies, but received
no relief until L procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Thomas Hogshead's drug
store. l continued taking Doan's
Kidney Pills until I was completely

The suggestion has recently been
made by DR.. Babceck that this solvent

two exact points between which the

The diagrams illustrate the differ
ence in appearance of the top of the

shows the top meniscus of the fat
which occupies space between A
and B of nearly one per cent. on the
scale. The test of this cream could
be read to 1910, 1876 or 200, depending
on the selection of A, B or C as the
point to which the fat is read.
Bottle shows the appearance of
the top OF the fat column after the fat
saturated alcohol has been added. |
The alcohol CD makes a nearly |
straight line at the top of the fat
column, so that the test can be read |
at the point c without any uncertain
ty as to the height of the fat column.
The fat-saturated alcohol is pre-
pared by adding about a teaspoonful
of butter fat to six ounces of alcohol
in a bottle.
Warm and shake the bottle until the
alcohol has dissolved all the fat pos
sible; some of it will be left undis-
solved at the bottom of the bottle.
This fat-saturated alcohol should be
used for reading the tests as soon as
they are completed. while the fat is
still liquid.
A little shaking of the test bottle
after adding the alcohol will some
times make the line between the fat
and the alcohol more distinct.

One of the important points in test

Considerable discussion has arisen
as to whether the fat should be read
to the top, the bottom. or to some
other point on this meniscus.
This uncertainty can be entirely
overcome by dropping a small ouan-
tity OF alcohol into the neck of the
test bottle after the cream test is
completed. The alcohol floats on the
fat and changes its concave surface
10 nearly a straight line. This use
of alcohol has long been known, but

PAGE OF ANCIENT HISTORY, AND
SETTLES HISTORIC MYSTERY.

PAGE OF ANCIENT HISTORY, AND
SETTLES HISTORIC MYSTERY.
: Higginsville, Mo-, "Who struck Bill
Patterson ?" is question that has gou
into history.
Il 1t is asked frequently by persons VIII
have no idea who "Billy" Patterso
was, for it has become stock expires
sion, signifying mystery.
But now comes T. M. Lake, fofmerl,
of Fauquier county, Va, and now re
| tired merchant of this city, who say
he knows all about the striking of Pat
terson.
Mr.. Lake was young friend of tn,
man who struck the blow, "Billy'
Patterson, according to Mr.. Lake, was
the bully of Richmond, Va, almos
seventy-tive years ago. He was big
man, who loved fighting almost as well
as he loved whiskey, and preferred the
two together.
The day Patterson was struck the
blow which thrust his name into i'm
mortality he had obtained liquor, but
was finding it difficult to get fight.
He had taken up a position in the CEN
ter of much travelled sidewalk and
was making all passers take to the
street. He was particularly insulting
to crowd of medical students who
passed on their way to a rear-by stu
dents hotel.
Among those students was Albin
Payne, a young man from Fauquier
county, relative Of Admiral Raphael
Semmes, and man of fighting blood,
When the group of students submitted
to the indignities offered by Patterson,
Payne's fighting blood was aroused.
''Let me at the bovine" he said, as
he walked up to Patterson. Perhaps
Patterson was too much surprised to
lefend himself, for only one blow was
struck, and "Billy" Patterson went
lown with thud. It was believed at
lfst thaG FatterSon was killed, and the |
tudents fed to their hotel, where a
TASTY conference was held, and they
owed not to tell who struck the blow,
Hardly had Payne been taken out a
ide way to another Students lodging
louse when the police arrived, demand
ng "who struck Billy Patterson ?"
Ill the students were question, but
ach denied that he had struck Patter-
On. Though it soon became apparent
lat Patterson was not dangerously in
lred, the students kept their vow,
ayne preferring to avoid notoriety.
ayne afterward became widely known
physician in Virginia, and attain~
some note as magazine writer, un-
,r the nom de plume of 'sNicholas
picer."

way over considerable of the proposed
route A preliminary survey has been
made, and the actual location work
Will begin this fall or early next spring.
The line will be about 100 miles long
