 The order having been given, the cautious diner elucidated his remarks still further. .'Tbat is a trick those fellows have" he said. Somebody burns the tablecloth with sparks from a cigar and gets away before the dam age is discovered, and the next conner. if he happens to be smoker. is blamed for his predecessors sins and is charged with the cost of the linen.

NEW HAVEN ROAD GETS
 CLEAR TITLE TO EAST
 SHORE LINE PROPERTY

New Haven, May 17.-Another petf- effort to get all formalities out of the way of a clear title to the property of the East Shore Line railroad has been disposed of in the Probate court The property of the road was heavily mort gagged and a second mortgage for $200, GOO was made in 1880. This was made with certain trustees appointed. these being Simeon B. Chittenden. Wilbur F. Day and Ezekiel H. Trowbridge. Like the earlier mortgage the indebtedness has been wiped out with the taking over of the road by the New Haven company but all the trustees were dead so a release to get a clear title could not be secured The Probate court was asked to appoint new trustees and these were named yesterday in the person of Arthur H. Day, Wilbur F. Day and Osborne A. Day

A SMALL RED SPOT
Novel Experiment by Which 1t May
 Be Made to Disappear

A peculiar feature about poslam, the new skin discovery Is that no ne is asked to buy it without first sending to the Emergency Laboratories No. S2 West Twenty-fifth street New York City, for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin, about the size of a silver dol- lar. It will clear the spot so treated in twenty-four hours-a remarkable visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While posiam has. been mentioned principally in connection with the cure of eczema, the most stubborn of skin diseases, it must be remembered that when used for itch. hives. pimples, blotches, acne, itching feet, scaly scalp, chafing of infants and similar minor skin troubles its action is all the more pronounced, results being seen after an overnight application. AS only a small quantity of poslam is necessary to cure such eases, special fifty-cent package, usually sufficient has been placed on sale at Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy and other leading drug stores in Bridgeport and throughout the country.

Doves and ceronatiens.

At the ancient ceremonies of coro- nation of the French kings after the amounting had been performed some white doves were let loose in the church. This was supposed to symbol ize the power of the Holy Ghost in di- recting the kings actions. A similar idea seems to have inspired all early kings. for among the English regalia is the rod of equity or the scepter with the dove. This is simply golden rod with a mound at the top. which sup ports a cross. On this cross is a dove, fashioned of white enamel, with ex- banded wings. Some fine diamonds or nament the rod in various places.

New York May r. 1910.

New York, May IT, 191V Editor of the Bridgeport Farmer:
 Sir-The above clipping from Thurs days World hits the raise of the com mutation rates on the head. Does Bridgeport intend to meekly submit to the heavy increase demanded Dy a corporation that cares nothing for the business interests of your city? If the New Haven road gave the travel ing public of the city of Bridgeport proper facilities for reaching New York in time to do business mornings. l. G., without arising at an unearthly hour, little protest would be heard. but cou- pied with poor train service. they dis continue the sliding scale and advance the flat rate out of all proportion and make So-called express trains stop all the way to Stamford for an even. dozen of rural commuters. It is time the \. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. have fared only too well when they wanted some deal put through and in return gave nothing. Bridgeport paid for the elimination of grade crossings, gave up her entire harbor, allowed their trolleys to cross sidewalks. use their streets for the furthering of their cleo tric freight business. let them shut out freight competition by water, and now the New Haven officials show their appreciation by raising the com mutation out of all proportion, thus helping to depopulate the Park City by forcing the band of commuters to move nearer to the scene of their daily avOcation.
 The question may arise. What is your remedy, in view of the fact that the rates are to be raised and the commuters must abide by the new scale. what are you going to do about it? The solution to my mind, is get the public aroused to the important need of a Public Service Commission a commission who will look into the regulation of train service, regulation of rates freight and passenger) not forgetting trolley services; the people in spite of the opinion of railroad off cials, are entitled to some considera tion for the franchises granted and where will they get the semblance of a square deal? Through petition to the New Haven road? Perish the thought The moment they hear you are from Bridgeport, Huff said.'
 Do they. the men who have their eyes glued to the time table daily mean to submit calmly to this new scale or is there a good kick left in them after the three hour ride? The writer was forced to leave Bridgeport on account of poor service given to your city, and found excellent service in Stamford, a city with a population of 28000. and the truth is I would rather be submerged in this rural dis trict than live commuter from Bridgeport.

Gender of Garlic.

'Why is garlic masculine gender?" asked the man who markets. ''It must be masculine because the greengrocers I buy from call it he. They are most ly Italians and ought to know the sex of garlic if anybody does. Of all the vegetables and aromatic herbs buy. garlic is the only one to which mas culine virtues are 2scribed. Every thing else is neuter. To call garlic it
 would be an insult. The garlic he is fresh, he :s fine, he is cheap, he is dear. Funny. isn't it:'' = New York

GOING EASILY INTO TROUBLE.

GOING EASILY INTO TROUBLE.
 Assuming that the railroad compan- ies are justified in some of their m Creases of rates. those which have pe- gun operations by marking up prices on suburban traffic made a mistake
 No other class of railway patrons IS so compact and so easily reached. They can hold a meeting any day. When the New York transportatlon companies added 20 per cent. to the cost of commuters rides they invited a quick fight and got it.
 The suburban passenger service in all Of the great cities is highly profit able Properly cared for, it grows ra pidly, with little extra expense. In point of justice it is probably the last department of railroading that should be put under heavier tribute. The managers who began their quest for greater revenue in that quarter were more greedy and lazy than wise World, May 12
