The response Of the state tubercu-

fore the meeting next Monday the

NEW LONDON VOTES
FOR MORE LIGHTS
Ex- Governor Waller Points to Norwich
as Example of Low Electricity
Charges.


The New London council has agreed
to have the electric lights wanted
added to the present ones, the COM
Iany agreeing to reduce the cost from.
$3.50 to S7750 a light and in some
instances the newer lights will be
in>talled and arcs will replace me
bug lights. The reduction will allow
the new lights at about the same
cost.
Commenting On its action ex-Cio q.
T. NJ. Waller writes the New London
Globe:
The city uses no gas, or not enough
t. speak Of. while the people are using
less and less, as electricity is fast
taking its place for lighting and would
soon take it altogether if it were fur
nished At fairly 'casonable profitable
priees-as it is in other places, and
not farther off than Norwich.
Until very short time ago, our peo-
pie were paying fifteen cents per unit
for it, while in Norwich it is fur
nished to- the people from two cents
to cents per unit, according to guam
tity, while We are paying for it now
fourteen cents per unit, or nearly fifty
per cent. more than they are paying
for it in Norwich.
And the Norwich municipal company
that furnishes 1t so reasonably, as its
public reports show, are making a
handsome profit on its investment.
II anyone doubts the statement.
call up his honor, Mayor Thaye1. of
Norwich, as I have, and I know he
will gladly verify the statement.
It is true. gas is furnished at a
comparatively reasonable rate-if the
comparison is strictly limited But
no such statement, however qualified
or limited, can be honestly made of
its electric shock charges
Our people should be able to obtain
ele ,tricity for their household and
other purposes as cheaply as the
people Of Norwich and other places do.

Tho Time Il Takes a Messenger TO Gel
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Seem
An Age to a Sick Stomach.

When millions are used every year
and when every other man or wom-
al that you meet win recommend
Stuart's to YOU if you will but inquire
why do you continue to suffer from
stomach trouble? What more evil
dence can you ask? And as still fur
Their proof you can even send and get
a sample package entirely free. The
sample will surely convince you.
The reasons why Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets accomplish such results
are very. easy to understand. These
tablets contain almost the same ele-
ments as the gastric juices Of the
stomach. And when your stomach is
sick and not working. Just right it
does not give out enough Of the nat
ural digestive juices to properly take
care of the food you eat, So if you
will only give the stomach a little
help by taking a Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablet you will relieve it of It's chief
duty and allow It the rest 1t needs to
recuperate One. grain Of the active
principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let will digest 5000 grains of food,
whether you place it in a glass Jar
or in your stomach.
All druggists sell them. The price
is+50 cents per box. If you prefer to
try them first write to F. A. Stuart
Co. $50 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich,
and a sample package will be sent
you free.

just now, as they must be looked up,
and 1t is not intended to waste any
time in so doing.
The board gives no indication Of how
the commission feels about the change
or as to the Sholes farm, except what
can be gathered from the questions
1t was stated before the commission
came here that city water could be OBJ
tanned for the institution at the Sholes
farm. There is a city water main with
in short distance Of the place, there
being a hydrant at the end Of Palmer
street, at the top of Fox's Hill. AS to
the hospital objection, Supt. Pollock
has stated that the trustees will object
to the site, as it Is on the watershed
Of their reservoir.
Concerning some of the other ques-
tions it is believed that the committee
can give favorable answers. AS far as
anything was indicated by the latter
one member Of the committee said
that he considered that everything
looked favorable at the present time
for the Sholes site.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

Considerable excitement was caused
on st. Asaph street, between King and
Cameron, late yesterday afternoon by
man named Frederick Paff, 32 years
old, who recently had been employed
at the Mount Vernon Stables who at
tempted to commit suicide. He had
been told that his services would no
longer be required, after which he pro-
ceeded to the second floor of the build
ing, where various remedies for the
ailments of horses are kept, and took
Il drink from bottle labeled carbolic
acid. His means attracted the atten-
tion of those on the first floor, and,
when his condition was learned, Drs.1
Warfield and Powell wers called.
Emetics were administered and he
later passed out of the danger zone.
The doctor found that the carbohc
acid the would -be-suicide had taken
had been literally diluted with cam
phorated oil which saVod the "'o"fa
life. Patf was sent to police head
quarters. He is said to have come
from Pittsburg.
