Only Few Feet From Target

The would be assassin when he threw the bomb was only a few feet from the viceroy and his consort The bomb burst with terrific force. The native standing behind the viceroy holding the imperial sunshade was blown from his position to the ground and instantly killed while the driver in front of the howdah was wounded eight times The escape of Baron Hardinge and Baroness Hardinge was almost a miracle.

Much Indignation

The attempt on British royalty's life aroused intense indignation among the natives, and the British officials present The viceroy is very popular in India. For long period there has been a lull in native resentment. The attack on Baron Hardnge by a fanatic came with sud denness. only short time ago the viceroy himself wrote to the India office in London, saying the country was Cuiet and the prospects of the official entry
 into Delhi were most favorable.
 The bomb was pitched when the great procession was passing through the Chandai Chowk, a long narrow Oriental street, containing many stores in it's de- file. The bomb was perhaps miniature
 in design. The stores were mostly one- story buildings, but some raise to the heighth of two stories Street car ser vice runs the whole length of the dis trict. owing to the importance of tn. occasion the service had been suspended
 The elephant of the viceroy was mann moth animal The driver sat between his ears guiding him in the usual native custom by tapping him on the head with a steel prod Behind the driver was the great howdah. q box like affair, con structed and fashioned like saddle. The howdah was covered with imperial purple drapings decorated with gold lace and tas- sels. In fl were seated the viceroy and Baroness Hardinge, and at their backs stood a native attendant holding over their heads the great sunshade which in- dicates the royal dignity.

 The culprit was not captured. Ten thousand rupees or appriXomately $500 has been offered as reward for his apprehension.
 The durbar was shortly interrupted, Sir Fleetwood Wilson, counsel of the gov ernor general of India, took the place of the viceroy in the procession which then proceeded on it's way through the new imperial city to the camping ground.

AUTOMATIC BLOCK SIGNAL
 FOR TROLLEY CARS.
Will Safeguard Tracks from Broadway
 Corner to Thamas Square.

Line Superintendent Humphreys of the Connecticut company has force of men at work installing new United States block signal system be- tween the corner of Broadway and Main street and Thamas square A signal box is located at each end of the block. The system is operated by the passingtrolley wheel This system IS positive in action and does away with the possibility of a trolley man forgetting to change the signal When a car enters the block the sig nal at that end shows a white sema- phore and a white light. and on the other end of the block a red semaphore and light is shown. When a car ap- breaches the block the crew can at a glance tell if the block is open, or if there is a car in it and which way 1t is going. Any number of cars up to 15 may be on the block at once and not until every car which enters the block at one end has left it at the other does the signal show a clear track.
 The)red light and semaphore are To- cated near the center of the signaling apparatus, with white semaphore on each side. The system is operated by magnets. There is a double cir cult of lights. so that in case one light gives out the system will work on the second light. The work of in- stalling the apparatus has been go- ing on for several days and will prob ably be completed today
 On the Broadway corner the signal box is on the pole in front of the Norwich Savings society building, and at Thames square d new pole for the box has been set up on the north side of West Main street.

FARMERS OPTIMISTIC.
Connecticut TIlers of the Soil Fairly We'll Satisfied With Crop Outlook.

Notwithstanding the dire reports published in the past few weeks con- corning the crop outlook, and the pos sibiity of failure this year, it is sur prising how optimistic the Connecticut farmers are. The general opinion among the tobacco growers is that 1t will require at least ten days more be- flre they know with any degree of certainty whether the crop will be a success or failure The cold, damp weather of the early spring delayed the setting out of the plants at least TWO weeks, and the fact that almost 10 rain has fallen since May 30 has damaged the growth of the crops.
 The hay crop which is now being harVedted, will not be the success ex- rected a few weeks ago on account of the long continued drouth. The crop Is excellent in the fields that were re- stocked this spring, but the yield will not come up to the average, and the expectation is that hay will be scarce again this season.
 IGc potato crop looks fair, but has been nearly a failure under the ad- verse weather conditions, but the stalks are becoming shriveled for lack of moisture. All garden truck has been good. but has been from eight to 15 days late, Every indication points to the ffuit crop being a failure. One farmer says that he will not get more than bushel of apples out of his whole orchard

How to Absorb an
 Unlovely Complexion
CPhylIis Moore in Town Talk)

The face which is admired for it's beauty must have a satin smooth skin, pink and white and youthful looking The only thing l know of that can make such a complexion out of an aged, faded or discOlored one-I mean a natural, not a painted compleXion- is ordinary mercolized wax. This re- markable substance literally absorbs the unsightly cuticle, little each day, the clear, healthy, girlish skin beneath gradually peeping out until within d week or so it is wholly in evidence. Of course such blemishes as freckles. moth patches, liver spots, blotches and pimples are discarded with the old skin. If you will procure an ounce Of mercolized wax at the drug store, use like cold cream every night, washing this off mornings, you'll find it a ver- itable wonder worker
 Another valuable natural treatment is a wash lotion to remove wrinkles which can be easily prepared. Dis solve 1 oz. powdered saXolite in F pt. witch hazel. Bathe the face in this and youll find it works like magic"
