WIFE CEASES HUSBAND INTO
 SEASIDE CLUB
Suspecting Misconduct Snatched
 Letter as She Read it

Using the corridors of the exclusive Seaside Club as maze in which to bewilder his pursuing wife, Harry Craw of 549 Main street, managed to elude his irate spouse as she pur- sued him through the streets. last evening. Craw and his wife have been estranged for several months. He suspected she had correspondence with another, and last evening was in the vicinity of the post office when she called for a letter at the general win- dow.
 Craw snatched the note from her hand and fled to State street with her in hot pursuit. Cries of ''Stop thiefr' attracted a mob and Craw was be- ing rapidly overhauled when he spied the inviting entrance to the Seaside club and dashed in.
 The members looked up in surprise at the breathless and wild eyed intru- der and attaches of the place bound ed him out of a side door.
 Mrs. Craw leading the pursuit storm ed the door of the clubhouse, when Detective Cronan who happened to be in the vicinity, took a stand before the mob and waved them aside.
 Mrs. Craw announced to her willing band of helpers that she was not ashamed of the contents of the letter yet she wanted to teach Craw he couldn't interfere with her business.

FAT FOLKS FAVOR
Home Mixture that Takes Of the Fat Rapidly-Causes No Wrinkles No Stomach Ills and Requires
 Neither Dieting Nor Ex-

Too much fat is both uncomfortable and dangerous, but usually fleshy peo- pie prefer to put up with its incon- venience rather than punish them selves with the tiresome exercising usually prescribed, or endanger their health by taking the so-called "cures" and patent fat "reducers.''
 This Self-sacrifice of comfort and health to overabundant fat is entirely unnecessary, however, as Mrs. Lucia Bigger tells us there is a home re- ceipt that is far superior in every way to anything money will buy for reducing superfluous flesh. It is said this simple mixture will take the fat off of man or woman at the rate of at least couple of pounds week without even causing wrinkles. More over it does not disturb the stomach, but is a good thing for the system, clearing away pimples, and, best of all, it does not interfere with the diet. You can use it and at the same time eat whatever you like. This receipt is as follows:-k ounce Marmola; F ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 1h ounces of Peppermint Water. Get these ingredients at any drug store, mix them together at home and take one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 Mrs. Bigger, as is well known. is a famous beauty expert, and whatever she recommends is sure to be found eminently satisfactory

COUNCIL REFUSES TO WIDEN CONGRESS
 ST. ON SOUTH SIDE

The common council at its meet ng last night killed theN proposition to widen Congress street on the north side of the street between Main street and Housatonic avenue. The matter of widening the thoroughfare on the south side was referred to the com mittee on streets and sidewalks.
 The matter came to the attention Of the board in the report of the Board of Appraisal of Benefits & Damages, which assessed damages $30.336 in excess of benefits. No fault was found with the assessments. Alderman James J. Conlin. who Is as- sociated with Henry D. Murphy in the painting business on the north side of Congress street, presented a resolution to rescind all action taken relative to the widening. He said it was the opinion of the business men on the street that the proper place to side of the thoroughfare.
 Alderman William E.. Primrose al- SO said the proper place to widen was on the south side of the street as there was no alignment with the lay out of the bridge with the proposed layout on the north side.
 Alderman Jackson asked Auditor Heating, who was member of the special committee on layout, to speak on the matter. The auditor said he had no desire to influence the board in the matter. He said that the south side was unquestionably the proper place to widen the street. He had once recommended it. But since that time Logan Bros. had built hand some five story building on the south side and since that time conditions had been made difficult because of the purchases of land for a theatre by Mir Poli- He said that the cost

 Ever since its discovery, poslam, the new skin remedy has. in its extraordinary accomplishments. ex- ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave it to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradfcated fac fal and other disfigurements of years standing. The terrible itching at tending eczema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of its curative properties at the very out set.
 In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, acne. barher's itch, etc., results show after an overnight application, only a small quantity being required to eff feet cure. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 50-cent package, recently adopted to meet such Feeds.

of widening on the south side would be prohibitive.
 To take twelve feet from the south side of the street will practically mean building occupied by Logan Bros, as store house, and grocery.
 MT. Heating said that the widen ing on the south side could not be done for $40.000.
 Alderman O'Connell was in favor of leaving the entire widening of Congress street alone. He said traf- fic would be taken care of if Housa- tonic avenue north of Congress street was widened as far as Meadow street. He introduced resolution to widen 'Housatonic avenue and it was adopt ed later in the evening.
 Alderman Jackson said that he favored widening on the south side of the street even if it did cost more money. He tthought the people who come after the present generation would say that this common council did its work well.
 Alderman Conlin offered resolu- tion to widen the street on the south side and it was referred to the com mittee on streets and sidewalks.
 Auditor Heating, looking over the figures on the report of the Board of Appraisal. said the board had assess ed damages, in excess of benefits, in amount s30,000. He had estimated the probable cost to the city at $35,- 900.
 Those who were allowed damages were: Abbie Mccarthy, $20,000; Ger trude s. Terry, s13,776; John Far rell, lessee, $2,500: and T. J. Mo Namara, lessee, $1,600.
 Those who were assessed for bene- fits were: Berger, Connors & Berger s4,700; Logan Bros, $500; s. z. Poli $1,540; w. J. and Minnie l.. Key holds, s400; and Marietta M. Crow ley, $100.

Mccoy OPENS new
NORTHERN BRANCH
Cfanslor & Lyon Company Is
Now Installed in Portland
and Spokane

Henry D. Mccoy, manager of the
Chanslor & Lyon motor supply COM
pany, has just returned from a trip
through the north, having established
branches in Portland and Spokane. Nc
Coy reports that the new house which
has been opened in Portland is now
under way under the most auspicious
circumstances. The headquarters are
located in a building which is even
larger than the building of the firm in
this city.
The Spokane branch was opened
Wednesday, and Mccoy is no less opti-
mistic over the outlook in that city.
While in Seattle his attention was
drawn to the fact that most of the cars
which he saw were equipped with the
Hartford wire grip nonskid tires of
the Midgley type.
In speaking of these tires Mccoy
said that their safety was as much the
cause of their popularity as was the
excellent service they gave. The tire is
held in place on both sides of the rim
by endless wires embodied in the edges.
These are naturally worcestershire, and
as soon as the tire begins to become in
1ated a pull or pressure is exerted on
the unextensfble edges. which locks it
securely to the rims The edges being
unstretchable, they can not lengthen or
yield in any way under pressure, and
therefore can not creep.
