proceed TO collect them from the cities
of the country, for which it has special
facilities. Some data so collected have
been of such interest and value that
they have been published by technical
papers and used to advantage by
scores of cities. During the past year
there have been several such, one of
these dealing with street signs and an
other with house numbering in the
cities of the United States.
The society is growing rapidly, as 1t
would seem most reasonable to expect
that it should, for it's possible mem
bership is limited only by the number
of city officials in the country. and
there seems to be no question that all
such can benefit by the advantages 1t
offers. The headquarters of the socie-
ty are at 239 West Thirty-ninth street,

ganization are looked after by A.

There's a building boom on in Meri- den and it bids fair to continue while the present good times prevail Over 240 permits were granted during the past year for new houses and addi- tions to the dwellings and for factory improvements. This is a remarkably fine record for this city. Last year the number of permits granted was S5.
 The assessors, have inspected a large number of new buildings during this week and there are many more under construction. There were compara- lively few of the cheaper class of houses erected this year.
 ( Chairman Yost of the board of. as sessors said that Fire Marshal Lucas has done exceptionally good work in. getting line on new buildings and as a result of his activity the assessors are enabled to locate new property much easier this year than ever be- fore. It is essential that everybody who plans to build should take out d permit and he is pleased to learn that the law in this matter is now being enforced. It is estimated that nearly $500,000 worth of new buildings has been erected this year.-Meriden Rec ord

ELEVEN YEARS TEST

Visitors to the exhibition recently held in Philadelphia to acquaint the public with the dangers of Tuberculosis and to demonstrate the methods of pre- vention and the cure of Consumption, were surprised when informed at the Bureau of Information that no state ment of cures was at hand. In the past few years Immense sums have been spent and many persons treated by the eggs, milk and fresh air advocates, yet curiously. cured cases are rarely found.
 That Eckman's Alterative positively cures Tuberculosis Consumption and stands the test of time is proven by the following letters:
 Philadelphia, Pa, March 25 1898.
 Gentlemen: My son commenced talk Ing your medicine February 2d, 1898. Previous to that time my family physi- clan had given him up to die with Con- him taken to a prominent hospital in this city, where they informed me that both upper lobes of his lungs were dis eased Upon examination of his sputum they found 1t full of bacilli, and said there was no hope of his recovery. He was compelled to give up his position. He commenced to improve almost im- mediately after taking your remedy, and has now returned to his office work.

 Thrilling Feature Picture.

A wonderful motion picture throb- ping with vital interests and filled to overflowing with sensational inci- dents. and withal presenting the pho tographic representation of one of the most unique events eyer photographed, such is the great picture entitled A Fight for Life, shown at the Breed theater to packed house last eve ming. This picture is perfect in every detail and depicts many scenes of the l01 Ranch Wild West. as photographed while in tie Mexico City bull ring, but the real event is the one in which William Pickett, the cowboy, famous the world over for his feats of strength, fights an infuriated bull sim gle handed and conquers it, much to the chagrin of the Mexican and Span ish bullfighters, who have been sue cessful only with an unlimited supply of weapons and many avenues of es- cape in case of an accident
 The natives were enraged to think that an American did what they were unable to do. and hurled missiles of every sort at the cowboy, but later recognized his great achievement and fairly idolized him.
 The remainder of the bill is, as usu- al as good as can be procured. but The Fight for Life can be seen only
 
 ances today, when preparations are being made to accommodate the mui- titnde that is anxious to witness it
 Joseph C., Miller. president of the famous 101 Ranch of Oklahoma, pubic ly offered $5,000 to any professional bullfighter who would dare to duplicate the desperate feat of William Pickett, a cowboy, who battled, bare-handed, with a Spanish bull in Fl Toreo, the world renowned bull-ring of Mexico City. Every boastful Spanish and Mexican matador scampered in fright.
 A moving picture replica of Pickett's exploit will be at the Breed theater this afternoon and evening. It is the current sensation in life motion filnas, for it displays the only combat of ,ts kind that ever took place.

FLORISTS, PROFITS
Disclosed During Trial of Case in
 Greenwich.

Is there money in flowers? asks the Bridgeport Farmer That fashionable retail florists usually double the prices they pay to the wholesaler was averred Thursday afternoon in the superior court, before Judge Lucien F. Burpee, by Robert MacMillen, a florist, of Greenwich, in the hearing on the ac- tion brought by him against James Everard, a wealthy Greenwich resi- dent who also makes his home in New York. MacMillen sues to recover $1,500. In his testimony MacMillen brought out great deal of interesting matter relative to the prices charged by retail dealers in New York and Greenwich. He had been instructed by Mrs. Everard to have her man sion decorated for her daughters birthday, which was December l, 1908. The decorations for the dining room, staircase, ballroom and hall. in the bill of particulars, amounted to $1,250. Yellow and lavender was the color scheme which was carried out by the florists
 The plaintiff stated that it was i'm possible to gather all the flowers out of shis own gardens and he had to go to the New York markets to supply the demand. The decorations were most elaborate. Smilax, chrysanthe- Illlltls, OItliiuS anu iIldAs OhllCI pldhlS, besides palms and ferns being used. Small electric light bulbs of many col ors were intermingled with the flow CTS. In his bill of particulars the plaintiff stated that there were 300 chrysanthemus at 70 cents each These he bought of the New York wholesalers at 35 cents each. Also 150 orchids at $1 each, bought from the wholesalers. at 50 cents apiece. The
