In view Of this dlscouragins report
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-02-04

promise, pay a dollar, get a machine delivered at your home, and pay the remain der of it's price in a series of easily-cared for sums.
 The machine itself is one that is through-and-th through reliable. Each one is guar anteed by the store. Each will do any kind of sewing that a family machine is call ed on to do; and do it satis- factorily. Price is no criter- ion to judge by. Machines like the Rowland are sold every day in every city at prices far higher than the stores. The low prices here are possible only because manufacturing costs and selling costs are held down. There are no commissions or agents expenses to be paid; the store buys and sells ma chimes as it does all other merchandise-for cash and at small margin of profit. Rowland machines are high grade machines at low price
 Eclipse, Reliance, and Charter Oak - the latter a rotary machine to $39.
 Only one thing will give you fair idea of Rowland machines: come and inspect and test them. Do it now. The club membership list is open for but a limited time.

Hotel Grafters.

The proprietor of one of the largest hotels in New York, speaking of the
 uses made by nonpaying customers of
 his house, said to rural guest a few days ago: we have large number of patrons from whom we never collect a cent, although we have no such thing as free list. They come here in the morning, pick up a castoff pa per, which they read, keeping an eye open for another, which they grab as soon as it is dropped. After reading awhile they stand at the ticker, often giving long lectures to their fellows on financial conditions and stock possi- bilities. The overcoat becomes burden some, and it is taken to the check room, where its owner knows it will be perfectly safe. Then, if they can tear themselves from the ticker, let ters are written on our stationery. They do not use our telephones be- cause we charge an extra cents for the call, but they carry home matches, toothpicks, blank cards and blotters and use up the soap in our 1avatories. They also take generous nibbles of the cheese and crackers in the cafe. The strangest part of all is this-that the majority of this class are well to do and highly respectable, and on that account we do not shut them out."- New York Tribune.

The Sleeping Sickness.

The terrible sleeping sickness oL tropical Africa is discussed at length in an article in Popular Mechanics. The disease. which hong baf1ed scien- lists, Is spread by the tsetse by, bloodsucking, day flying insect. On the apprvach of either man or animal at a river crossing in the densest rorest the victim is soon scented out by the fly. if there is one in the. vicinity, and then, either silently or with peevish buzz, it makes straight for the most accessible spot and gives it's stab. The usual course of the disease is from four to eight months. At the outset there are headache, a feverish condition. lassitude and a correspond ing disinclination to work. The facial aspect changes, and previously happy and intelligent looking negro becomes instead dull, heavy and apathetic. Later, tremor in the tongue develops, speech is uncertain. and mumbling. walk shufding and progressive weak ness, drowsiness and oblivion to lis surroundings afiict the sufferer. The last stage is marked by extreme ema- ciatiou and coma deepening into death.

INQUEST INTO
 CITY BUDGET
 CONCLUDED Yellow Mill Bridge Can't Garry Load of Brick
 Pavement. Little Towns Contribute Nothing to Support of Probate Court - Four Road Rollers Wanted, One Recommended.
Recommended

The Board of Apportionment finished it's public hearings, last night, with the exception of hearing tomorrow night, upon the question of granting $12,OoO
 to continue the obnoxious 20 year water contract.
 Judge Nobbs told the board that the towns of Trumbull, Easton and Mon roe had not paid anything toward the support of probate court since 1870 a1- though they were in the district. All the expense is borne by the city.
 Chairman Hartley, of the street com nittee, asked for new macadam for Gem avenue as he said the people on that street had been asking for it for eight years.
 William A. Lewis, president of the Board of Relief, appeared and as his requisition consisted wholly of salaries he was dismissed in 8 few minutes.
 Director Biltz said the increases in his department were only in the special appropriations asked for. He asked for four road rollers and the city audi tor only provided him with one.
 Asked why we wanted to lay wood en block pavement on Yellow Mill drawbridge the director said that he wanted to relieve the bridge of the 40 ton load of brick paving material which it was now carrying. The wood blocks will weigh less than ten tons.
 "Col. Rogers told me the bridge was constructed with the idea of having it carry brick pavement" said the mayor.
 "Well we have had to appropriate $S,- 900 to repair the bridge so that it would carry the brick pavement" re- piled MT. French.
 When Assistant Town Clerk Mullins appeared, the mayor asked about the oF for iro O nh a hatfn91 list of the taxpayers of the city and typewriting the same. He wanted to know who got the money and MT. Mul- 1ins said that the clerk of the board of assessors furnished the list and did the work.
 The mayor said that clerk of the board of the assessors was already in the service of the city.
 The only new feature of the Board of Education's budget was request for g 900 which President Marigold said was going to be used in estab fishing a room for instruction in the domestic sciences, cooking, dressmak- ing, the selecting of meats and the carving He said it was for girls be- tween the ages of 13 and 16.
 Mayor Lee said it would be better than teaching German in the schools and MT. French thought it would be good thing if millinery was taught in the schools.
 A great deal of time was spent in questioning President Ober of the Board of Health relative to the plan of school houses and investigate the health of the children. President Ober said that it would enable the parents to discover many defects in children that might otherwise escape unnoticed such as poor hearing and poor vision.

A gown cut
 and fitted free.

No matter what the style or what the garment, you may have it cut and fitted by experts without charge. Simply buy your fabric here and now, paying 50 cents or more a yard.
 All the bothersome part of dress-making is done away with. Much expense is sav- ed. You can, in fact, do all the rest of the work your self. That means the mak- ing of a new dress or cos tune without spending one extra cent.
 You can count, too, on correct fit. MT. and Mrs. Miller, who are doing this work, ,are experts and artists. They know how; have dem onstrated that in many cities. Are doing it here now.
 And you can buy dress goods here at attractive prices. In fact, prices are specially attractive now. Fabrics are, too. New of style, rich and right of color. Why, they can't be anything but satisfactory.

Three of Them Knew,

According to the Philadelphia Rec ord, boy of eight said to his mother: Well, there were only three boys in school today who could answer one question that the teacher asked us."
 And hope my boy was one of the three," said the proud mother.
 "You bet I was," answered the young hopeful, land Sam Harris and Harry Stone were the other two"
 "I am very glad you proved yourself so good scholar, my son; 1t makes your mother proud of you. What ques- ton did the teacher ask, Johnny?'

 When the House convened today Representative George H. Knight of Lakeville was in the Speakers chair in place of Speaker Banks. Represen- tative Bulkeley of Weston, Represen- tative Feeley of Portland, and Repre- sentative Gabb of Bloomfield, were ap- pointed to serve as the committee on unfinished business.
 Among the acts introduced was one which provides that an appeal from commitment of children to county homes shall be heard before a jury; one making it a crime to have liquor in ones possession with the intention of selling it; one which provides that the telephone companies shall provide telephones to municipal governments and police officers at half rates; one providing that in a place of less than 10000 people only property owners and taxpayers shall vote on license
 An act of special interest to grocery men was introduced regarding the sale of eggs. It provides that all eggs shall be marked in letters of not less than an inch high whether they are cold storage, preserved or fresh.
