WHAT IS VINoL7
About Which We Hear so Much? Our
 Druggist Tells You.

After twenty years of study two eminent French chemists discovered a method by which the alkaloids or medicinal curative elements of the cod,S liver could be separated from the useless oil or grease. The oil which has no medicinal value is thrown away, but the healing. cura- tive properties are blended with tonic iron and a mild medicinal wine which makes Ninol, thus combining in one medicine the two most world famed tonics
 Vinol is not a secret medicine as it's ingredients are printed on every bottle, and in all cases where the healing. curative influence of cod liver oil, or the blood building. strengthening influence of tonic iron is needed, Vinol gives immediate ben eft, for it is easily assimilated and acceptable to the weakest stomach.
 For all run-dOWn, weakened condi- l. tions, and to cure chronic coughs, colds and bronchial troubles. Vinol is uneXcelled. We will return your money if it fails. Broadway Pharmacy G. G. Engler.

29 YEARS or ELECTRIC LIGHT
Current First Turned On Here In March, 18S5-Staton On Chestnut Street-Besan With Two 38 Light Dynamos- City Plant Now Equipped With 2O00 and 75O Kilowatt Turbines 45O and 15O Kiowatt Generators.

under the Thomson Houston patent, and the plant was well under way when the attention of the local capi- talists was drawn to it as a promising scheme and one that must prove profitable to investors. They estab lished a lighting station on Chestnut street and fitted it up with two 3S- light dynamos, one Huntington & Sims engine and one of the Jarvis rollers, which is capable of running the 76- light plant, which is one of the best in New England.
 The company organized with a cap ital of s25,000. and the following off- cers were chosen: President, H. H. Osgood secretary, J. Jepson: treas urer, J. Hunt Smith; directors. H. H. Osgood, E. N. Gibbs, w. K. Shew of Norwich II. P. Frost of New London and w. B. Hosmer of Boston.
 The engine which drives the dynamos makes from 250 to 2S0 revolutions a minute, yet 1t runs with less noise than an ordinary sewing machine, but when the dynamos are put in motion there is tt whirr and buzz which resembles the mechanical hustle of a ropewalk under full head.
 The dynamos were put in motion at
 5.15 o'clock and at 5.30 were connected with the circuits. In a second every
 lamp on the plant was ablaze. The system was at full force before sunset, and as the lights kept in abeyance the gathering SlduOWS or 0lSHl they began to display a power gratifying to people who stroll through the city streets.
 The light was brilliant and steady and so far as could be learned gave perfect satisfaction. The two large exhibition lights on Franklin square liberty pole illuminated that neighbor- hood so that friend could recognize friend across the square. The windows of the dry and fancy goods stores were trimmed with delicately colored fabrics and the green, navy blues, -svenders and other colors heretofore unrecog- | nizable in anything but sunlight were readily distinguishable to the observer Regardless of the clustering weather, the streets and stores were crowded
 with people, and until a late hour the station was visited by hundreds ol | curious citizens to witness the opera tions of the works. The lights had not l been in operation two hours when or ders were received for six new lights ! to be put in the first of the week. When the company has demonstrat- ! ed to the people of Norwich that the i scheme is a paying one, the remainder 1 of the stock can be bought by those
 who seek a safe and profitable invest | ment

AMATEUR FIRE FIGHTERS
 DO GOOD WORK
J. r. Isbister and R. o. Fletcher Fight
 Flames at Academy.

Two Academy graduates James T. ISbister and Robert O. Fletcher fought the flames for their alma mater alone at the Academy building on Saturday evening at 1120 o'clock and had a fire in the boiler room in the basement practically all out by the time the firement arrived in response to the alarm that Mir. Fletcher rang in from the private box, No. 325, at the Academy.
 They were on their way home from an entertainment at the Y. M. C. A. and were standing at the Park church corner talking when they saw a flash of flame through one of the windows which is in the basement to the left of the main entrance to the building. While MT Fletcher ran for the alarm box, MT. Isbister ran to make sure that there was fire and then shouted for his friend to pull in the alarm. Smashing in the glass of the box with a pair of shoes that he was car rying Mir. Fletcher sent out the call for the fire deartment and then rushed around to the basement en- trance on the boys side of the build | ing, where he found that MT. Isbister had already smashed out a pane of glass in the door with his fist, and was able to reach through and in the door to get at the fire hose which he knew was close by.
 The fire was in the boiler room and was blazing up to the ceiling to the
 ceiling while the smoke was so thic
 they could not see each other and 1 could hardly breathe. but they pulled ! out the 30 feet of hose and turned on 1 the water, MT. Isbister taking care of ! the nozzle and holding the stream on i the fire while MT. Fletcher held onto l the hose.
 l The fire had started among a mass ! of waste paper in the room and had 1 ignited a box in which papers were 1 contained and also spread to a parti-
 tion between the coal bins. The two
 young men had the room flooded with
 water ankle deep by the time the fire
 men arrived and all that was left of
 the fire was some spots in the parti-
 tion still smoldering. Chief Stanton ! with the auto chemical the aerial | ladder. and the steamer from the Cen 1 tral station, Chemical company No. l from the Main Street station, and 1 Chemical Company No. 3 from the 1 Falls station responded to the alarm and some chemical was used on the | embers.
 Principal H. A. Tirrell said Sunday night that the best explanation he | could see of the start of the fire was
 that mise had been gnawing or the waste paper Crumbs among the
 waste paper had probably attracted the mice. Janitor Patrick Rafferty had left the building at 5.15 o'clock | in the afternoon and no one had beer
 in it up to the time of the fire. Prin-
 cipal Tirrell said. The blaze would pra bably have done no harm ana would have burned itself out if it haC
 not been discovered as it was in 2
 room with concrete walls. ceiling anc
 floor. He commended the good worl
 done by those who put out the fire.
