TIL MIDDLE AGED MAN.
Why lie Thinks 1t Is rheumatism
That RCthers Him and Not GOut.

Why lie Thinks 1t Is rheumatism
That RCtilers Him and Not GOut.
"Can anybody tell me-" said the
middle aged man, the difference
between rheumatism and govt?
Now. not being very well versed in
ne3iCal science, knowing very little
in fact about osteology or therapeu-
tics or anatomy, materia medica or
pharmacopoea, wouldn't undertake
myself, offhand to say; but in gem
eral way | would say that govt is
an ailment that attacks the rich and
rheumatism the poor; and, being
not what you would call rich man
] suppose what I've got is rheuma-
ism.
Il have read in novels and seen
fixtures of portly gentlemen of mid
lie age or rather more who sat in
great easy chairs and with one foot
al swathed up in bandages stretched
out in front of them supported on
foot rest. This is the old gentleman,
living in fine old manor house or
in splendid mansion in town. who
is dos ribed in the novel as being
tcsty and che .eric-choleric as. I'M
derstand it. meaning not that he has
cholera or anything of that sort but
IN uneven temper; and this old gem
tlenan with foot thus done up in
bandages and supported on a foot
rest has govt.
But several of my symptoms are
different. | don't live in an old
manor house. nor in mansion in
town; and however disposed | might
be to be testy and choIeric, | have
to keep my temper. and / don't
swath my foot in andages and re-
cii-e it on foot rest. | have to
keep more or less Oh the move.
so I suppose that in the absence
of the familiar govt symptoms we
might safely diagnose my case as
one of just plain rheumatism; but
| guess my rheumatism hurts me
about as much as the govt of our
tcsty and choleric old friend hurts
him"

Proposition for the Purchase of Portion of Machinery to
Be Considered-Hoders of 100000 of Outstanding
Bonds Represented.

nected with the bondholders, stated
that as trustees under the mortgage
the Thames Loan & Trust Co. could
have disposed of the machinery, but
they didn't feel justified in doing SO
without getting the feeling of the bond
holders, which decision is now being
awaited. 1t is stated that the prop
osition made is for the purchase of
the machinery and, tools for the MAX
ing of the double gun sWhich the COM
pany put OUT The proposition is
made from an out of town party
through one Of the former owners in
the company, and il the machinery is
sold 1t is to go out of town for the
making Of the gun elsewhere, the pat
ent rights of which are controlled
outside the company
There has been a feeling that the
bondholders with some others would
unite in reorganizing the company in
its present plant and revive the bus
mess, in which, it is said;~much new
capital could be interested, but
whether this will be done or the whole
industry lost to the city will depend
upon the decision Of the bondholders
and the report of the committee when
made will embody that. The commit
tee will get in. touch with all the
bondholders and following that de-.
cision will be reached regarding the

der $500 bonds, which he could not
furnish and was sent to jail.

fellow who was in the Carpenters

other room when he heard a noise and
went into the big room, where he saw

him in friendly manner, and, mis-
taking him for some union man, moth
ing was thought of his being there
until Business Agent Kelly came in
and found that the desk had been
forced open, Suspicion was at once
attached to McKenna and he has since

SOUTHWEST LEDGE LIGHT.
Will Be Ready for Use by octoberl
First.

Southwest ledge light station of New
London harbor is complete, except for
the installation of the light and fog
signal. Properly speaking the con-
struction work is done and the paint
ers are nearly through with> their
work The newest light station on the
coast is expected to send forth warn
ings to navigators both visible and
audible by Oct 1.
The lighthouse on the ledge. built
at cost to the government Of APP
proximately $4,000, is one of the most
up to- date in the service. 1t has a
large dwelling with apartments for
two families, the keepers and assist
ant keepers and has all the comforts
that go to make home desirable. The
nearest point of land is over a mile
distant.
During the building of the station
at Southwest ledge many of the older
workmen in the Scots employ recall
the stirring incidents of the building
of the Race Rock light station. When
the foundation for Race Rock light was
built ii was found necessary to use
big stones. In building a foundation
for Southwest ledge light cement was
used. The new light station rests on
a big block of cement, containing
about 5000 barrels, which was mixed
and placed in a wooden crib to harden.
The station, a brick building, was
built on top of this block, which rests
on Southwest ledge. At the top of
the slate roof Of the dwelling Is a
conical shaped tower IN which the
lantern will be placed. Here also will
be stationed the fog signal and the
engine to blow it will be put in place
below the tower.

about $4,000 of the outstanding bonds
of the company. The meeting was
called for the purpose of naming a
committee from among the bondhold-
ers who could take up the matter of
the proposition made to them for the
sale of a portion of the machinery in
the plant covered by the bonds. In
asmuch as there has been hopes of a
reorganization of the company by the
bondholders it was deemed best that
the matter should be thoroughly I'M
derstood by all the bondholders be-
fore disposing of any Of the machin-

The bondholders organized by APP

man and Frank II. Allen as secretary,
and subsequently a committee con-
