A CHEMICAL FURY.

Fiuorine 10 a Rabid Gas That Nothing
Can Resist.
The fury of the chemical world is
the element fluorine. although, strange
~ enough. it exists peacefully in com
pany with calcium in fluorspar and
also in a few other compounds.
Although this element was known
and named good while ago, it long
resisted the efforts of chemists to iso
late it-that is, prepare it in pure
state, unmiXed chemically with other
substances-for the instant the com
pound containing it was torn apart
the free fluOrine attacked and combined
with whatever substance composed the
vessel containing It, 1t was finally
isolated by the great French chemist
Moissan.
Fluorne is rabid gas that nothing
can resist. 1t combines with all met
ais, explosively with some, or If they
are already combined with some other
nonmetallic element 1t mercilessly

A Quiet Rebuke,

An Object admonition" like the one described by Warren Lee Goss in his article. Campaigning to No Purpose 9 published in Johnson's Battles and Leaders of the Civil War;" is often more eficacious than storms of re- proach.
 One day the colonel of the regiment noticed soldier on parade wearing a badly soiled pair of gloves.
 Corporal" said the officer, "why do you set the men such a bad example as appearing before them in dirty gloves? Why is it!''
 'I've had no pay, sir, since entered the service" returned the corporal. 'I can't afford to have them done up.''
 The colonel drew from his pocket 8 pair of gloves. spotlessly white. Hand ing them to the corporal. he said quiet ly: Put these on. washed them my self"
 1t was an unforgotten lesson to the whole regiment.

.UNMUFFLED BLAST SIARTlES
 BRIDGEPORT THIS MORNING

4 terrific report that smote the ear drums of people n-the center of the city at TAO o'clock this morning. and which was heard as well in the West End as in the eastern part of the city, led many citizens to believe that there had been an explosion at the plant of the L. M. Cartridge Go. H. H. Pin ney, superintendent of the cartridge factory. was seated in his office when the report came, and he at once began telephoning to the various parts of the big plant and it's reservation. He said he could find no evidence of the explo- sion on the companys grounds
 The general impression of East SId- CTS was that the report came from the northern end of Pembroke street where there has been considerable blasting of late for the purpose of excavating for cellars. From the manner in which the atmosphere was rent it was quite evident. if caused by blast, that the men doing the quarrying used an ex- eeptionally large amount of dynamite or failed to muffle the report by the customary use of heavy logs.
 There Is no reason why blasters should be allowed to assault the ears of the city in this manner. They should be compelled to muffle the blasts properly.

 Prince Bulow once invited Herr won Holstein to dinner, telling him that it was to meet the emperor. But" re- piled Holstein, T don't believe that have a dress coat at present. I will try. however. to get one made in time. and if can't perhaps the emperor will take me as I am." This. the Times says. was reported to his majesty, who said that Herr von Holstein was to ap- pear in any garb he pleased.
 When the meeting took place Hol- stein was in his usual frock coat. and the emperor laughingly tapped him on the shoulder and said: 'I see that dress coat wasn't ready. It doesn't matter" London Standard.

 1t is of Mr. O'Barns the story is told that when on his deathbed, or when he thought he was dying and the doc tor had pronounced his feet warm and said that no one had ever died with warm feet, the old gentleman inquired in a whisper whether the doctor had forgotten the case of John Rogers.

Her exquisite singing, her delightful acting make her portrayal of the character one of irresistible charm. Bert Baker, ever popular, has earned new laurels as the droll and amusing Erastus Underbolt, while May Vokes has established herself more of a fa- vorite than ever as the slavey. Josie Intropidi, Anna Wilkes. Florence May, Louis Simon, John E. Young. Fred Nice and others in the exceptional cast complete one of the best musical organizations-proba the best com ic musical rganization-ever heard in this country.
 The libretto of this comic musicality is of decided interest. There is no lack of comedy, which is of the kind that amuseS and entertainS. Com bined with the humor is a pretty touch of sentiment and romance. Also there are some real dramatic scenes to accentuate the comedy. The music is glorious and it is sung in a manner that brings out all it's charms and brilliancy.

WIDOWS HOME
 BADLY IN NEED
 OF ASSISTANCE
Debt of $2,0OO Must be Cleared or This Old Charitable Organi- zatiOn Must Disband

The Protestant Widows Society, one of the oldest charitable organizations in the city, has come upon a critical per iod in its history, as it is about to face deficit of two thousand dollars, and public or else say to many of it's bene- fciaries, i've can do nothing more for you"
 Besides the thirty-seven cared for in the home, the society assists thirty others, each month. Many of those living in the home, who formerly assisted in it's keeping, have become enfeebled by age, and paid service is required to care for them and also the home Recent cases of illness and death have made great drains upon the treas ury. Since May over three hundred dollars have been paid for nurses, in addition to the amount paid regularly to the resident nurse.
 The greatly increased cost of living has been another factor in depicting the treasury.
 Many of the society's staunch sup pOrters in it's early days are no longer living, and the loss of their gifts is keenly felt New corners and the younger generation must come forward to take their places.
 There is an exaggerated idea of the resources of this society. Its income is entirely inadequate to meet the de- mands.,
 A necessity is laid upon every com nunity to see that it's aged and feeble are fed and sheltered. and the society feels justified in making this appeal to the citizens of Bridgeport It hopes for large things-not only contributions to cover the two thousand dollar in debtedness, but even a larger amount, so that the work may be advanced as there are ever-increasing calls for help. Established over sixty years ago. ac- cording to the thrifty and careful ways of those times, this society is still con- servative in it's expenditures. Every application for aid is investigated. and only those deemed worthy are helped. In connection with this statement of facts, collectors will canvass the city and a cordial response is asked for them.

POGLTRY SHOW COMEs TO END

POULTRY SHOW COMES TO END.
 The three day show conducted by the Bridgeport Poultry Association. Inc. at Lincoln hall, came to successful end last evening. the attendance alone yesterday equalling that of the total for the three days show last year. This years show brought out more and better exhibits than ever before, a high tone of quality being added to many of the coops of poultry stock shown. Members of the association have been warmly congratulated for their efforts. It is quite probable because of the in- creased number of exhibits and the large attendances that the association will net quite little sum.
