 AUTO AND HORSES
Lavasseau Was Given Great Test
 Here on Broadway.

After feat of strength in pulling against a team of horses and an au tomobile here on Friday about noon. the great !4avasseau, who is appearing at the Da"is theater. said that q Nor wfch team and d Norwich auto truck had given him the hardest test that he had known. The trial was held on Broadway before a big crowd. in front of Broadway church where the block pavement gave the team a great foot hold and they laid down to the work with will, while the auto was started up in the opposite direction, both being hitched to q pair of iron rings. weld ed together which the strong man held with an arm through each ring and his hands clasped across his chest. Pull as hard as they could the team and the auto together could not make LavasseaU straighten out his arms, al- though they bent the rings out of shape so that they had to be rounded out and welded together again at Lanes shop. Frank A. Hoxsie drove the team, which was a gray pair be- longing to Leonard E. Harris. Those who know the horses say they will move over two tons in ordinary pull ing.

IMPERSONATED DAVID WAKEFIELD George kiernan Gave Evening of
 Drama Under Parish House Asso- citation Auspices.

An enjoyable entertainment was giV- en at the Hugh Henry OSgood memo rial on Friday evening under the aus pices of the Parish House associa- ton. George Kiernan of Philadelphia impersonated David Warfield in The Music Master. MT. Kiernan paid high praise to David Warfield, whom he pronounced the best actor since Joseph Jefferson in fineness of touch and del- icacy of detail.
 The first scene was laid in the music masters room on Houston street, in trodueing the principal characters of the play.
 The second part portrayed the Stan ton home and the conflict between the two men. In the third scene the poor attic room is the scene for the reap pearance of all the actors and the poor music masters griefs are ended and his virtues rewarded as he leaves it for new life and a daughters love.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERT. H. o. Daniels Secured for Benefit of Connecticut Farmers by State So- ciety.


 H. o. Daniels. whose appointment as special counsellor and instructor for the promotion of better agriculture in this state has just been announced by the Connecticut State Agricultural so- ciety, is at present the guest of c. Warren Davis. past president of the State Dairymen'S association. In this capacity the services of MT Danie.s are at the command of all farmers in the state free of charge.
 For long time the Connecticut State Agricultural society (sometmes known as the Berlin fair and some times known as the State Fair asso- citation, but always meaning the Con necticut State agricultural society chartered by the legislature in 1852, which gives the annual state fair at Berlin each year) has been a strong factor in the agricultural development of the state. This new move on the part of the agricultural society is the most important move in the history of agriculture in Connecticut The off, cers of the society believe that the greatest question before the people Of the state at this time. especially the manufacturehs of the state. is the high cost of living, and they believe that by a little expenditure of time and money the agricultural production of the state can be very materially increased.
 By private subscription the Con- nectfcut State Agricultural society have raised sufficient funds to carry on this work. and have secured the services of one of the most successful and practical, and withal scientific farmers in the state, who will go over the state and counsel and instruct farmers who desire informa tiOn or sistance in carrying on their farming operations.
 It is believed that Mir. Daniels may be secured as one of the speakers at the institute to be held here, April and 3. and also at the banquet un- der the auspices of the board of trade at that time. Fourteen years ago he spoke here in the town hall upon the topic of Agriculture.

An Easy Task to Cure It When You
 kr.ow How.
 There are three kinds of dandruft cures:
 Good Gandruf cures.
 Bad dandruff cures.
 And plain liquid junk.
 The first is good to put on the head; the second is good to keeB off the head; and the third is good to flush out the sewer.
 The owners of good dandruf cures say our remedy will cure you in two weeks or money back.
 The owners of bad dandrum cures guarantee nothing. but spend their money bowling fake at the good dan druff cures, which policy they consider is a clever method of enticing the shekeIs from the unwary.
 Parisian Sage is good dandruff cure

ANNIVERSARY OF THE
 BIG BLIZZARD OF 188S
New England ParaIyzed by Tremend ous Snowfall and Gale Twenty five Years Ago.

Next Wednesday, March 12, is the twenty fifth anniversary of the great blizzard of 1888 and anybody who re- calls the storm that swept over New England then will probably be willing to state that it was by far the worst that they ever experienced in this sec tion of the country.
 It began to snow on Sunday evening, March II. and it keut it up for IS hours. The worst of the storm was in the afternoon and that evening on Monday. the 12th, and between , it was practically impossible to face the bowling wind and snow that lashed the city.
 There was an icy wind from the northwest that beat the snow into small particles, and drove them with terrific force. After dark it was al most impossible to tell in what direc ton one was going. and by the time the employees of the stores and mills started for home travelling was very serious proposition. There were nu- merous cases of people losing their way. but fortunately ther was no loss of life.
 The storm kept up all night, and Tuesday this section was cut off from all connection with the rest of the world by the ordinary means of com munication. The railroads were snow bound, the boats would not take the chance of risking the storm on the water and s~ires were down in all di- rections.
 Conditions in Norwich.
 The Bulletin of Tuesday, March 13, said
 Mondays storm was first cousin to western blizzard. It was the worst storm Norwich has seen for years. No mails were received from any place west of Hartford during the day. and telegraph wires reported down out of town in all directions. The Western Union Telegraph office had connection with New London. all de- spa atches received being hung upon the hook until order can be restored along the lines The Telephone Central Ex- change office had no connection with out of town stations, and the in-town system was totally wrecked, only six wires being in operation at 1 o'clock D. r1 out of 100 lines.
 The fire alarm and electric light sys- tenn wires were also put out of com mission to d great extent. Street rail- way ears were stalled between 5 and o'clock in the evening. The article continues:

San Diego's Joy
Day was Great

San Diego Sun: The entire city
stopped short, gasped and caught its
breath, after the four days of cele-
bration that concluded Sunday morn
ing with the rising sun. There were
many who did not ca,cn their breaths
until long after nightfall, for they
slept through til. day, recovering
from the activities Of Saturday night
and Sunday morning.
Saturday nights celebration took
the breath even of those who were
most active in the promotion Of the
carnival and most sanguine as to its
success. Fully thirty thousand persons
assed through the gate at Wonder
lard between sundown and midnight
and once inside became a part Of a
Seething mob, which sought violently
70 enjoy itself. The scenes at the
casino have neEe. been equalled in
any celebration in San Diego, and
as the closing hours of the carnival
drew near every one tried to crowd
core and more fun into the fleeting
minutes
When the sun sent its rays over
Wonderland park it caught the last
stragglers fleeing homeward, very
tired but very happy. At Wonderland
il saw chaos. Within the ca. % was
vreckage. The floor was .iteep with
confetti. Hanging from the decora-
tons, the colored streamers formed a
web that seemed impenetrable. Here
and there We're remnants Of broken
chairs and tables that suffered during
the wilder moments toward the end
The park looked as if it had gone
through a sudden and disastrous
storm. 1t had, in fact, been the play
thing of 10000 ca1e-free souls who
had abandoned themselves to the
spirit of the carnival
The "Carnaval Cabrillo" will live
eternally in the history of San Diego's
celebrations. 1t was only few weeks
after the idea originated that the
four day carnival was held-a cele
bration which is to be made an an
nual one With the closing of the
carnival for this year, preparations
will be begun for the celebration of
next year, 50 that It will be more com
pIete and greater than anything seen
on the coast.
