Of the story is that the Tasmautan
editor who printed an account Of tho

Shy but Eerocious.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling places the
Kukuhuhus, a shy, yet ferocious tribe
OF New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have a great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
barterfng trade with them. They
bring salt, earthenware, dried fish, ETC.,
and deposit them in certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by Gu
rious cry from the distance. The
mountain jewellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers and 9th

cles wanted by them. Then they re-

SOUTHINGTON GIRL
KILLED BY EXPRESS

New York, Oct. 1o-While running
across the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad tracks at the Co
Iurnbus Avenue station, Mount YER
non, to catch the eastbound Hartford
Express, shortly after 6 o'clock last
night, Miss Anna Beltz of Southington,
Conn, was instantly killed, and Miss
Anna Weckworth of Plantsvi1le, Conn,
who was with her, was tossed twenty
feet by an express train and escaped
with slight injuries. The young wo-
men had been attending the Harvest
Home festival at the Wartburg Farm
School on the outskirts of Mount YER
non.
More than 400 persons were on the
station platform when the young wo-
men were run down. Many of them
were women, and some of them be-
came hysterica1.
Miss Weckworth, who is 20 years
old, told the Coroner that she was
told to walk down the westbound plat
form and cross to the other side if
she desired to take the eastbound
train. Instead of crossing under the
tracks, Miss Beltz, who was 81 years
of age, started to walk the trestlework
over Column bus avenue.
Just as she reached the eastbound
express track, Miss Weckworth, who
was right behind her, saw the Boston
Express bearing down on them. She
made a jump to one side as the ex-
press struck Miss Be1tz and passed
over her.

SCant Delegation
From Bridgeport
AT Danbury Fair

Fewer Brfdgeporters than ever at
tended the Danbury fair this year
Only about 100 excursion tickets were
sold at the railroad station today and
about 400 yesterday, which was
Bridgeport Day These are the
smallest sales recorded in the past ten
years Some years the sales of excur-
sion tickets have gone over the LOCO
mark. This year the rain is held re-
sponsfb1e for the poor attendance at
the fair.
The number Of automobile parties
were reported fewer this year than in
several years past. Due to the con
ttnued rain Of the week the roads to
bad shape and in some places well
nigh impossible. No accidents to
Bridgeport auto parties going to or
coming from the fair have been re-
ported so far.
Yesterday was bridgeport Day at
The Danbury fair but the attendance
from the Park City was the smallest
In many years due no doubt to the In
clement weather. For. the first time
in ten years the entire fair week has
been wet or cloudy and weather con-
ditions are believed to be the cause
of the poor attendance at the fair this
year.
Yesterday morning at 1880, special
train of six cars which were about
half filled left this city. The regular
train at 9:49 over the Berkshire oIV1-
sion, carried five cars which were
comfortably filled and most of the
passengers were bound for the fair.
Yesterday rain fell in heavy showers
and at intervals there was a drizzle
and mist, just as unpleasant and as
penetrating as the rain.
The conceSsfonarfes at the fair
ground all complained of poor bust
ness and many of those who had ex-
posed places on the grounds were
obliged to close their stands because
of the rain.
Many of those in the buildings
which have canvas roofs, were not
much more fortunte. The members
of the Second company of Governors
Foot Guards of New Haven of which
many Bridgeport men are members,
attended the fair Wednesday and
during the time they were going
through their drill they were the CEN
ter of attraction.
Considerable complaint was made
concerning the conditions of the cars
used on the so-caI1ed Shuttle trains"
between Danbury and the fair
grounds. The coaches were of the
most antiquated type They were fill
ed with old newspapers and cinders
and, coal dust lay deep in the aisles
and between the seats.

Bic Freight Wreck.

Thursday morning about II o'clock a
big freight wreck occurred at the
junction of the l.. & n. and l.. x A.
railroads in the eastern portion of the
city. At the junction of the two roads
there is deep cut on both roads which
converges directly at the crossing
The l.. & A. train. so it is reported, had
the right-of-way and had Just backed
partially across the l.. & n. track, when
heavy freight going North came rum
tling along. The engineer saw the
danger, reversed his engine and applied
the brakes; but, as there is considerable
down grade at this point, it was impos-
sible to stop. The l.. IL n. train
plowed through the L. & A. train. over
turning an oil tank car and demolish
ing several coal cars. The L. & n.
locomotive was overturned and com
pletely wrecked. The fireman jumped
just before the trains struck, but the
engineer remained at his post, and both
escaped unhurt, which seems almost
incredible, when we view the twisted
mass OF iron, steel and wood. A large
force of men were Immediately put to
work clearing the tracks and wrecker
from Covington and one from Corbin
were dispatched TO the scene. Both
arrived about o'clock in the afternoon
and work ed heroically for several hours
before getting the track in shapes so
traffic could be resumed. Passengers
on the afternoon trains were transferred
and proceeded on their journey with
little Inconvenience. Thousands OF per-
sons viewed the scene. The loss to the
railroad company will go far up into
the thousands; some estimating the
damages as high as $4,000.

The Gettysburg Reunion.

The following gem is from the pen of
the talented Paragraper of the Lexing-
ton Herald, Mr.. Enoch Grehan:
On Gettysburg's tented field sleep
again the countless heroes from both
sides of the line who shocked and thrill
ed the world and then and now held
and hold the highest place in the histo-
ry of human courage shown in the
midst of death and in the presence of
catastrophe, bu: as they sleep the pale
moon no longer silhouettes upon the
earth the crouching form of skulkiD g
enemy; no lonely sentinel keeps vigil
while they rest, but rather does the gen.
tie angel of the night bring dreams of
reunited people. of sheathed sword and
rifle gone TO rust; of one bloOd-tOuched
fields now glorified by hammered corn,
by swayIng grain, by grapes grown
purple" in the fructilying sun-memo-
ries of Lee and of Meade gone down
the years, the tallest. whitest spirits of
that melancholy hour. 1t does not mat
ter now on which side they fought, who
fell or who survive; all are ours, and as
such we shall cherish all until the River
rolls 'twixJ them and US and they stand
with Jackson and Grant and Davis and
Forrest and Sheridan under he shade
of the trees"

A Highland, N. Y, woman writes:
Since 1901 l suffered from eczema

application worked like magic, in less

In all forms of eczema, and all 9TH
