DANBURY. AN IDEAL GATHERING.

In commemoration of the Declara- tion of Independence, which took place just 133 years age to-day it is being declared on monday at 12 o'.1ock: We, the representatives of New Haven, New Milford, Pittsfield, Danbury and Bethel assembled at the home of MT and Mrs Andrew Bradley of 21 James street in Dan- bury, where we all enjoyed to the fullest extent everything that was good and delightful, both in the way of music and refreshments etc. At the time when we, At in number, were partaking of the many rich things that covered the loEg tables the representatives of 19 colonies unt nimously declared themselves free and independent just 133 years ago to the day and hour. This may not occur again in many years. At 10 o'clock we were all summoned to the tables to clam chowder, which was extra fine. The roasting of clans was next in order. This was skillfully done, as the eating of them verified the fact. MT Bradley was mindful of those who indulgea in cigar pleasure and his large figure was noticeable as he went about with his good smokers. The lady with the photograph vibrated the air with music and her selections were well taken. Then came the ar tist with his camera and huddled us together into a group and made us immovable specks in front of the house. Then came the vocal and instrumental music, which was charming to everybody. Ten small children (by no means left out) were put into a wagon and given a pleasure ride by grandpa. Mrs Bradley could be seen at distance and her goodness and gladness reached way beyond the visibility of he eve. The day was delightful, the sun bright but not glaring, the air wholesome and pure and the location was seemingly calculated fo" the anniversary entertainment where joy, comfort and luxury did abound. Four long tables were stretched in one line under the shade of trees and an awning and loaded down with a ponderous weight of those things which please the eye ard gladden. the stomach. I will here state that everyone pres ent was well pleased and fully atisfed with the entertainment and no doubt will remember it for years to come.-[F. E. Sturges, Bethel.

WAS WASTING AWAY Lack of Red Blood Nearly Caused This Waterbury
 Woman's Death.
She Tells How, on Her Mothers Advice, She Took the Treat ment That Restored Her Health, Strength and
 Co1ov.

Poverty of blood, scientifically called anamia, is common in young girls and in persons who are overworked or con- fined within doors and makes it's ap- proach in so stealthy 8 manner that 1t is often well developed before it's presence is recognized. Taken in time the dis ease is readily curable, the specific being 8 tonic medicine which increases the number of red blood-corpuscles thus enabling the blood to carry the life- giving oxygen to all the tissues of the body.
 That Dr. Williams Pink Pills actually cure anamia cannot be better shown than in the case of Mrs. Robert Mont gomery, of No. 22 Dikeman street, Waterbury, Conn. She says:
 T can say with truth that I believe Dr. Williams Pink Pills saved my life. l took them for anamia after had been sick for about two years and during that time had been treated by doctors who finally gave me up to die. I wasted away to mere skin and bones, had no strength and was pale and colorless. My head felt as though there was a weight on it and as though it would split. l felt chilly and it was impossible for me to get warm unless I hugged the fire. l had heavy night sweats. My blood was thin and watery and l had no appetite. I had to cough constantly and often raised blood.
 "One doctor said that I had consump tion and told my sister that would not live three months. Another docto wanted me to go to the hospital. Wher all hope of curing me had nearly been lost, mother had me try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I took several boxes and soon began to mend. Twas completely cured by the pills and am now as well as ever and do all of my housework The doctors and my friends were surprised few months later to see me rosy checked and in good health"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,. Schenectady, N. Y.

RAILROADS MUST

The Supreme Court on Tuesday
sustained the railroad conl1nissions
authority, under the law, to compel
connecting railroads to make reas-
enable connections at junction
points. The Florida East Coast
Railway had been ordered by the
commission to make connections
with the Atlantic Coast Line at
Orange City Junction and Sanford,
and for several years obeyed the
order. Recently it broke the con-
nections, denying the right Of che
commission to control the operation
ofitsroad. The case will doublessbe
